TRAVELLER LOVE

Evades

I hastened my steps towards the stall where Grandma was selling. From a distance my sight caught a familiar figure in my eyes. I set out step by step to ascertain the truth of what I saw.

“You , why are you here? “ my question on Furqon full of amazement. Because furqon does not usually accompany grandmothers selling. Again he simply answered me with a gaze adorned with his trademark smile.

“ grandma, what grandma asked her here?” My question to Grandma shows my dissatisfaction.

“Yes son, this morning I asked Furqon to help me bring some stuff home son, you know yourself. Grandma is no longer young, grandmother power can no longer lift heavy money items” replied grandma at length. For a moment I was swept away staring at the old man who always beside me. There was a feeling of sadness infiltrating my heart.

“I promise grandma, I will repay all your services, all your struggles for me” I murmured in my heart. I don't feel like tears are falling unstoppably anymore.

“You why cry son? You sick?”

“ forgive me grandma, because I granny has to work hard like this. Forgive me for not being able to make Grandma” happy, I said while hugging Grandma.

“ zahra, it turns out you crybaby too?” Furqon said along with a mocking look. Suddenly I raised my head. Unusually, he's willing to interfere with people's affairs. But this time, I don't know what demon possessed him.

“What do you care?!” Answer ketus

“ I want to cry cake, want to cry cake, that's my business. If you want to cry too, cry there!”

“ I am a man, it is impossible to act like that”

“ yes already, if you are a man, do not have to take care of women's affairs, you want to be a transvestite?” My answer this time managed to provoke a typical furqon smile. But I tepis everything because I do not want to dissolve too long in my feelings and hurt Sari's feelings more and more.

“Already, you guys why the hell? Fighting in public places, shy to know about people”. My grandmother tried to calm us down.

“ you are also Zahra, why are you suddenly angry to nak Furqon? Wasn't this morning you guys were okay” continued granny

If grandma knew, I wouldn't have acted that way either but circumstances forced me to avoid Furqon. Even so I don't know if this action of mine is right or will only hurt the feelings of the three of us.

“Good nek” answer us while helping grandma.

We take public transportation to the village we live, this transportation is usually transporting market traders in the afternoon. The atmosphere is crowded in transportation, the fishy smell of fishmongers, and the smell of a smell that is so piercing the nose. But I was already overwhelmed by all that. Not with Furqon, I see she's as strong as she can withhold nausea. His white skin turned red and sweaty. Suddenly...

Deeeeeerrrrrt, the sound of the brakes on the arriving transport stopped. Almost made me collapse towards Furqon, but Furqon immediately avoided me so much that I fell prostrate on the transport floor. I saw him laughing as well as the other passengers. Maybe he intentionally pranked me.

“Basic has no heart. Not to help me even laugh at me” murmured me

“ want me to help” said furqon while sticking out his hand . However, I immediately refused and tried to stand alone with the remaining energy.

“ father, can drive not really use suddenly, I so fell right?”

“Sorry neng, there was a cat “ said the driver while glancing at me through the rearview mirror. Then he drove back to our village. The annoyance in my heart became so when I saw furqon and grandma laughing giggling while glancing at me.

Shortly after, we arrived home. Very simple house, walled woven bamboo. But for me this is the most comfortable place for me. I noticed Furqon also coming down while helping Grandma lift her things. Yes, Furqon's house is not far from my house, only about five houses from my house. He lives alone with his father who is a businessman meubel in our area. After cleaning grandma's stuff, she was ready to go home.

“Nek, zahra I came home first” he said while looking at me but soon I threw my eyes away. Seeing my behavior. He just smiled and passed from before me.

“Huuuuu, go home!” I said while kicking a little plant in the yard. However, it was unexpected that I kicked a flower pot made of cement in my yard.

“Awwwwww, you are sick!!” I screamed in pain.Furqon turned around and nodded at my behavior. Then he put his feet back home.

“ Jesus, zahra you why nak”

“ is okay nek” I replied while holding my leg withstanding pain. Maybe it's a punishment for me for lying to my own feelings. But I was determined to bury my feelings deeply.
