UNIVERSES
39. Planets
A week has passed since the 'let's be away' incident. No more warm greetings from a Haru in the morning. Pick up Sema or drive her home. Perhaps one school that followed the plot of their gossip wondered why the two people who were originally like stamps and letters were now suddenly like keeping a distance from each other. If usually Haru and Sema are two people who are seen sitting opposite in the canteen at one table now the view is much different.
"Are you happy?"
Sema turned her head with a confused expression considering that this interlocutor had just said a sentence after being lulled in silence. Finishing her last bite on the sandwich she bought from the canteen, the girl frowned.
"About what?" Ask Sema.
Desta did not immediately answer, carrying his body leaning on the school garden chair. His gaze was fixed on the canteen that was faintly visible from here.
"A week away, how does it feel? Are you happy about this?" While silent, his net was busy observing two people who were seen sitting side by side, joking with laughter with several men.
"Maybe." She swung her legs. Time off was very empty for him during the week. Sema observed Desta for a moment, before returning to her thoughts. It was the third time he had eaten with Desta in the school garden chair instead of sitting in the canteen. Just because they were together. But somehow Sema also felt herself getting closer to Desta. Either only Sema felt it or the young man did too.
"Lo going to the house?" This time Sema was again confused by Desta's sentence which was always half-and-half. The young man snorted and repeated his question. "Going to school to my house?" Ask Desta.
The wrinkles on Sema's forehead are getting more noticeable. "Well?" Ask Sema. Because this is the first time Desta invited Sema to his home. And very sudden.
"No idea, play maybe? Lo says Lo's parents look at Lo's sister out of town." She looked at her shoes briefly. If you remember usually Haru who invited him to his house when both parents Sema was visiting her brother. Such a simple memory just popped out giving rise to a thin smile on the lips of the girl.
"What is papa?" Ask Sema.
"Rather than I nemenin Lo in Lo's lonely house?" Sema hits Desta's arm spontaneously. The owner of the arm didn't even wiggle, such a punch was where it felt. "I'm not asking to be won." Sema Sahut. Desta nodded without answering.
"But Lo's parents also came home from the mall, right?" Ask Sema.
"At least at home I have an aunt to help me clean up."
"okay."
Desta spontaneously turned his head, his surprise did not last long. In the end, he chose to look straight back. Come to think of it strangely, he invites but he is also surprised when Sema just wants to be invited to the house. But looking back on everything Desta has done lately is strange. Even bothering to accompany Sema who is alone is also strange.
...—o0o—...
Desta's words weren't kidding. Seen from the young man who is now stopping his motorbike in front of a two-story house. Minimalist dominant paint. White, gray, and slightly creamy in some parts. In front of the house a lot of pots are arranged with various kinds of flowers and ornamental plants.
Not long since Desta put his motorbike into the home warranty. The young man now approached Sema who was mapping the house of Desta.
"Come on." Said Desta then walk first to drive. Despite following Desta's steps, Sema still observed the foreign state around her.
Especially after he entered the door brown wood until the inside of the house is now visible Desta.
Not much different, the living room that looks roomy with white wall paint. All things neatly arranged. Desta invites Sema to sit down while she walks into the kitchen and calls her housekeeper to make a drink. Afterwards, Desta went into his room to change his clothes.
While standing, busy observing the objects around him until he was glued to the decoration placed on a shelf that serves as a bulkhead. Miniature planet Saturn with medium size. Quite beautiful, until the view of Sema can not be separated from that thing.
"Likes?" While jerking, he held his chest that was beating fast due to surprise. He saw that Desta who had been sitting on the sofa with clothes changed into a black shirt and also casual pants.
"When was Lo there?" Sema asked, the girl is now approaching the young man.
"Just now." The answer.
Before long drinks and some snacks came. Sema smiled as she thanked the housekeeper. While Desta flat-out. Desta stretched out, took a snack and ate it once voraciously. Honestly, he was confused as to what to do.
"Lo likes planets?" Tanya Desta opened her voice. When he looked, he nodded.
"Why?" Ask Desta..
"It's good to see." Answer Sema while putting the glass on the table again. Both were silent for quite a while.
"Lo want to see more of that?" Desta asked while pointing at the Saturn-shaped decoration. Sema looked at Desta's direction before nodding enthusiastically.
"Come on." Desta stood up, followed by Sema.
The two now climbed the stairs to one room. Desta opened it, he entered first then followed by Sema.
The girl was in the doorway. Surrounding the whole room and the things inside using his eyes.
"This?"
"My room." Desta leisurely sat on his bed observing Sema who was still sculpting. The girl didn't think that Desta would take her to a place of privacy like this. She never went to make Desta cluck. "Lo wants to stand there? You think I want to say what Lo?" Hearing that sentence made Sema feel the heat radiating on both her cheeks. The girl's ears were reddened and mixed. He then ventured to go deeper.
Actually not much, but now the view of the girl fell on the storefront rack containing all the decorations of miniature planets. Sema approaching. Just as he had seen in the living room earlier, the difference in Desta's room was much more complete. Not only the medium, there are even small ones that make Sema more amazed. His gaze continued to move around observing those things.
"It's open." Desta. He looked for a moment at the young man who was still sitting on the bed. Now Sema's hand is stretched out to slide the window glass until it opens. I feel good when I touch those miniatures.
From where he sat, Desta could see how enthusiastic Sema was about touching the miniature planets. He smiled thinly.
"Lo want?" Ask Desta. Sema who was holding the miniature turned spontaneous.
"Maybe?" Ask Sema.
Desta smiled making Sema also smile enthusiastically. "No." Desta replied while shaking his head to make a smile Sema fade changed with a sigh of resentment.
"What is nawarin?" Sahut Sema with a annoyed tone. He put the miniature back in its place.
Desta stood up to the girl. "It's not easy to find this. I've been eating for a long time." Said the young man. Now he stands with both hands folded in front of his chest. He was in the closet next to her.
He doesn't care, he's still upset.
"But Lo can take pictures, at least Lo has a picture of him even though he doesn't have his thing."
Dih, Sema just glared while throbbing. He's back in focus. Now explore the full bookshelf. Most of them are filled by the comic collection Desta. Sema just look around, because she does not like the picture story.
The girl almost fell when she found a skull frame standing in front of her. Complete from head to toe. Accidentally finding the sound of laughter, Sema turned around. He snorted in annoyance because Desta was laughing towards him. The young man's position was still the same as before.
"Lo don't cringe at the skull in Lo's room?" Ask Sema.
Desta ended the short laugh. "It's just plastic." The answer. Sema. It's still just plastic, but it's still terrible to see. Now the girl was squealing towards Desta making a confused frown on the young man's forehead.
"Don't you be a psychopath?" The accusation.
"About." Sahut Desta hurry.
"Lo's a mysterious ass that, exactly like a psychopath." Sema pointed to Desta.
"You really mean Lo's in danger of getting into a psychopath's cage."
Sema goosebumps, while her breath chokes. Especially when he found Desta's terrible expression. The young man grinned. But a moment later the laughter boomed from seeing Sema so frightened.
"Ngapain Lo laugh?"
"Please, anyways rarely do I see Laugh?"
Sema rolled her eyes lazy. "Lo's getting weird laughing." The girl no longer cared, now her step towards the hanging canvases. The handmade paintings look interesting after miniature planets.
"It's Lo's?" Ask Sema while wiping the painting.
"According to Lo?" The young man approached. "Lo can see my name in the corner." Sema researched the painting again, and sure enough. Full name with signature also decorate.
Not wanting to open the conversation further, Sema was busy returning with the objects in Desta's room. Until an object was stretched out right in front of his eyes. She tilted her head in question.
"What's this?" Ask her. A small Saturn-shaped keychain.
"Key chain." Answer Desta.
"Yes I'm tau—"
"Keep what?" Sahut Desta cut Sema's speech.
"Make what?" She changed the question.
"Make Lo." Desta forcibly handed the keychain to Sema. "Why do you give me?" Ask Sema while lifting the keychain shaped planet Saturn is limited to the eyes. Observing that cute little hanger he thinks it is.
"It seems like a keychain is cheaper than a miniature planet." Answer Desta.
Smiling, he picked up the bag in his car. Then put the key chain on the zipper bag. She smiled with satisfaction afterwards.
"Thank you."
