38. Comics And Novels



The twilight bed is not yet clearly visible. At three o'clock in the afternoon when the bell came home from school became the most anticipated thing a million students. Since then, many of them have been fighting over who first passed the gate. In a hurry, causing a random crowd.


He waited for Desta who was taking the bike. The girl was busy counting people passing by, looking at the grass, looking up at the sky, or sighing. Everything he does while he waits. Not long until a motorcycle complete with the rider stopped in front of Sema. Desta gave the helmet to the girl.


After using Sema immediately ride the Desta motorbike without further ado. The two of them darted together in silence.


Motor, and other vehicles. As well as the density of the city before dusk to be a panorama this time. The expanse of tall buildings becomes a view on the right-left.


Desta stopped his motorbike at one of the shopping malls in the city. Parked his motorbike and the girl entered the shopping center. A makeshift sentence is occasionally thrown out.


Until both have arrived at the bookstore that Desta often visited.


"Desta, I'll look at the novel first." Desta nodded, continuing to look for the comic he meant.


While Sema is now busy researching the titles of the novels listed. Occasionally read a synopsis from behind the book cover. Sema likes the romance story of picisan, which must end happily. Otherwise, it was clear Sema would have thrown away her novel. He does not accept sad ending, even if the incident does not make sense. Like rising from the dead, or whatever it is. What matters is happy ending.


While counting the money, if made an additional novel is still enough, if Desta also bought one comic. Desta also gave it a sudden warning. Gleefully, he compared the two novels he held. Both have interesting synopses. So I want to buy both. But the girl chuckled while shaking her head, she placed one book on the shelf.


"Gue's coming back, don't let anyone buy Lo okay?" He said to the book he had put down. Then he chuckled again. It's been feeling a little crazy.


She stared happily at the novel she was carrying. The synopsis and cover are quite interesting. Can't wait to read it at home while eating a snack.


Sema turned around, surprised by Desta who was suddenly behind her. Wanted to curse but not so. Sema's spirit faded to find the young man carrying three comics in his hand.


"Gue is done." Desta. The young man handed the three comics to Sema. Not forgetting to show a little smile. She stared at comics and novels alternately.


"Lo's not finished yet?" Ask Desta. Sema. "Yaudah Lo first." Sema. Desta nodded. After seeing the young man move away Sema put the novel back in her hands. Too bad.


"Tomorrow I'm here again, don't get bought by y'all." She pointed to two novels in turn. He snorted in annoyance, sighing quickly. His gaze now turned to the three comics in his hand.


He lazily caught up with Desta before the young man realized that he was not following in his footsteps.


Arriving at the cash register he did not find Desta. Where the hell is that young man? Or maybe you are choosing comics again? Don't make. Sema finally quickly handed the comic to the cashier. Pay it off before Desta comes back with another stack of comics.


This alone to pay for the three comic money Sema only ten thousand left.


He chose to wait outside.


Not long after the young man arrived. "Now Lo comics." Shema walked first leaving Desta. He just wanted to go home.


A pull made Sema stagger back. "Eat first." Desta. Shema rounded her eyes. "Go home, come on. Mama must've waited for me." Sema.


"Where to try HP Lo, let me talk to Auntie." Hearing that Sema shook her head. Desta clucked violently, pulling Sema just like that towards one of the eating places.


Sema is moving restlessly. While Desta was busy looking at the menu listed. "You want what pesen?" Ask Desta. Sema. "Gue is not a laper." The reply was quick, choosing to play his phone.


She shook her head, trying not to be confident. Maybe Desta ordered it for himself. Even when the young man came back, Sema did not budge. Still focus on watching videos through his phone.


Not long after, the food ordered by Desta came. It would not want to make Sema look even a little. He was surprised to find two plates and two drinks in front of the table.


The paste was Desta pointed in front of Sema. "Gue is not cool." Sema. Desta looked up in between his activities cutting the steak on his plate.


"Kan I'm cool, I don't like tomatoes so the pasta I donated to Lo." The young man replied while eating his steak. Sema stared in disbelief, while Desta was busy cursing herself. What kind of reason is that?


"Pick eat! I'm paying you to be calm." The words of Desta sontak make Sema waver. He grabbed the fork half upset. But good too.


The late afternoon made them finally decide to go home. Silence was still shrouded since they had finished eating earlier. Walking while looking at the activities, it is better because neither of them wants to open the sound of breaking the silence.


A few seconds later, the two reached the parking lot. As usual, silence still felt. Both of them enjoyed the storm in each other's minds. Really just walk around without any pleasantries.


Desta drove his motorcycle, splitting the city streets in the twilight. Enjoy the wind and visible tinge. As Sema thought, lately she and Desta have become closer. Looks like a friend in general.


The girl seemed to be unaware that there was no genuine friendship between a man and a woman.


A few minutes later the two had arrived in front of Sema's house. As usual, the girl thanked me after giving her helmet. However the girl was a bit confused as Desta held her back for a bit.


"It's Lo's stuff." The confused view is clearly noticeable from the Sema legume bead. Feeling foreign to the crackle that Desta thrusts..


"That's Lo's comic?" Sema observed the wrapper. It was the same plastic he got from the bookstore. The name of the store was printed clearly on the white plastic.


"Bah nih, than his son will be an ileran." Shema rounded her eyes. "What the fuck?" Desta laughed at the girl's reaction. Then grabbed one hand of Sema to receive a helping hand from him. The girl looked at the contents of the white crackle intensely. He was again surprised to find two novels that he had held.


"Well, how?" Sema looked up to find Desta who had returned with an ordinary expression.


"Gerri I saw Lo talking the same novel." Sema smacked Desta's arm softly making the young man chuckle again, instead, rather laugh. Satisfied to see Sema reddening withholding embarrassment.


"So you're nagging?"


"Lo is talking really hard, so I'm hearing normal ears. It's hard to ask for help to payin Lo?" Sahut Desta's.


Sema. "No, I owe the same as you. Debt now plus this."


"Yaudah, you can change sometime." Desta answered before the young man put on his helmet. He turned on his motor.


"Gue's home."


"She be careful."


After that, Desta's motorbike slowly walked away from the Sema housing complex with the girl who was always observing the young man until he was lost swallowed by a turn. She now turned to the novel in her hands. He smiled, finally his dream of reading a novel while eating a snack materialized.
