Trapped in Love Duda

Trapped Love Duda 2

Mama stroked the top of my head, "Well yeah, I believe you're an adult. You can choose what is good and bad. Don't misunderstand the belief that mom and dad gave."

I just nodded. Mama came out of the room, leaving me still stuck in this room.

I've always felt lucky to be living in this family. Mama and papa met all my needs from head to toe. Mama can make friends. All this time I always confided with my mother, no matter what the problem was. But do I have to also confide in mama about Erik who just bothered my mind?

Erik's.. Erik. I'm trying to say his name.

The night had changed in the morning, the birds chirping while chasing. The sun began to rise behind the curtains of my room.

Today I got bad again. Mama could be angry if I just missed the dawn prayer.

This is all because of Erik, I blame my frustration on that guy. Just because I think about it, I find it hard to sleep and as a result I wake up late.

The huft! It sucks this morning.

I've taken a shower and have started to do makeup, just light makeup that's suitable for college kids like me.

I took the bag, did not forget the cellphone and laptop became the items that I must carry.

Mom and Dad were waiting at the dinner table.

" Good morning, papa.." I kissed her cheeks in turn.

" Uda pray subuhan?" Ask me without taking my face off the newspaper.

I didn't answer just silence.

" How are you quiet? Late dawn?" Papa asked me looking at me sharply.

" I'm sorry pa.. Zahra's bad to wake up."

" I apologize to God is not the same papa and mama. The morning prayer is mandatory. So don't have much reason." Papa started breakfast this morning with a lecture.

Papa is a very disciplined person. And from childhood I was used to performing five prayers. When I was a child, papa would punish me if there was only one prayer time that was missed. But after I grew up papa just nagged at me.

I took a piece of bread and a glass of milk, in our family there was no such thing as breakfast with rice. Rice is only eaten during the day and evening.

I'm done not forgetting to say goodbye to mom and dad.

The cup! I kissed papa's cheek.

" Study right, quickly arrange thesis so immediately at graduation." Papa's message.

" Yes pa.. doain yes..!"

" Every day papa doain you without the need you ask." Papa.

Papa and mama drove me forward, Mr. Anwar was waiting outside.

" Come sir leave!" I got in the car.

" Aren't you having breakfast?" Ask mama.

" It's already open." Answer Anwar sir.

" Be careful, take the car!" Papa's message to Anwar sir.

The car that Mr. Anwar drove split the streets of the capital. It was jammed, so the journey from home to campus that was only fifteen minutes became thirty minutes.

To get rid of boredom, I took my phone out of my bag.

There was a message from someone.

My heart immediately flowered.

Erik, this early makes me blush. Fortunately we were not facing.

I opened the message, (Hey, last night I couldn't sleep thinking about ayu's face across the street. If we wish to meet?)

Reply no.. Reply no..Reply no..

And finally I typed a reply for Erik (Well, where are you going?) I pressed the send button.

This was my first experience with a man. Normally I would build a high wall when a man would approach me. In fact with Erik I kind of gave a signal and a green light that I like it too.

Tring, a reply message from Erik came in.

(Send address yes.I'll pick up later.)

(Don't pick me up at home, I'm in college) I said.

(Campus address)

I also sent Erik my campus address.

(Call if it's time to go home)

I smiled to myself, maybe Erik was the soul mate God sent me. It seems like Erik is a good man, he seems to seriously approach me.

" No, uda until."Mr. Anwar's voice surprised me.

" eeehm.uda nyampe yes sir." I'll go downstairs and bring all my gear.

Mr. Anwar nodded and passed away immediately.

My college hours are over, don't forget I told Erik to pick me up.

Tin.tin.. The sound of car horns blasting my daydream.

A black sports car parked in front of me. The princess looked astonished and nudged my shoulder, "Who is Zah? It's cool the car."

I shrugged both my shoulders, as a sign that I didn't know.

A man in the parlente style got out of a black sports car.

And... That face made me shut my mouth.

Erik kept his promise. He approached us both.

" Hey.." Sweepings. He stretched out his hand to shake hands with us.

I stood up and welcomed his hand.

" Hey too." My broom.

The princess just slipped like a toothless goat. Not welcoming Erik's hand.

" Daughter, she wants a shaman." Whisper to the princess.

" Eh, P-Daughter." Answer Nervous.

Erik smiled sweetly like java sugar, that's for me.

" Yuk, you want to go straight?" Bring along.

" Where?" My toot.

" To the cafe if you want." Bargainly.

I nodded, not forgetting to take the Princess. But the princess refused on the grounds of taking her mother shopping.

" Be careful, you just met him. Don't let anything bad happen to you." He whispered in my ear while shuddering in horror.

I pinched my best friend's waist. It felt like he was scaring me.

" Bye.." Princess abandoned me.

Erik opened the car door. I entered like the king's daughter. My nose feels kembis because of the treatment of this man.

We were both in the car. When I remember the Princess' message there is fear in me. But if it follows my heart, there is a feeling of happiness.

The atmosphere is still quiet. Erik is still focusing on the streets that are quite crowded this afternoon. While I was still confused as to where to start this conversation from.

" Ahem.. Why just shut up? Don't be afraid I'm not a bad person." Canda Erik to me.

I just laughed when I heard her joke.

" What semester is Zah?"

" Final semester, just waiting for graduation." I was confused to call him. Mas Erik, bang Erik or Erik's brother. So if talking to him is like chatting at the end of a word.

" Who can I call you? Mas or brother?" I ventured to ask him.

" It's up to you, how nice. Erik can." too."

" Can you please?" Much

" May dong." He raised two eyebrows. I don't know what that means.

The car stopped at a cafe.

" Yuk down!" Bring along.

I followed him walking behind him. I'm still clumsy because this is the first ngedate with a man.

He took my hand." Don't walk behind me, you seem to walk the same om-om."

We giggled together, breaking the silence between us.

We took a seat in the corner.

Not forgetting to order food and drinks. I looked at the surroundings around the cafe. Cool and slow music softens.

" Why?" Ask.

" Comfortable place to be." Answer's short.

" Uda ever been here?"

I just shook my head. For twenty-three years I have never been to a place like this.
