Waiting for your Love to Grow

Meeting your Cousin

Nabila sat on a bench in a park not far from the Denis family home. He tried to calm himself down and restore his mind that had been somewhere. He began to think about what he should do after this.

Nabila's hand reached into the bag on her lap, to find her phone. However, his hand could not reach the flat rectangular object he was looking for.

Not satisfied with his handwork, Nabila checked with his eyes every side of the bag with jelly, but he still could not find it. He tried to remember again, where the last phone was seen.

Reflex he patted his forehead, when he remembered that his phone was still in the desk drawer in the office. He looked to the left right of the road and started to get confused thinking about how he could go home. On the street it is not easy to find a taxi. Want to order a taxi online, the phone is not in hand.

Nabila breathed out violently. Then, he decided to walk to the highway, albeit with eyes still very puffy. The hope is that finding a taxi or public transportation on the highway which is approximately 500m from where he is now is easier.

When I saw the clock on his wrist. The watch shows at 15:05. Nabila chose to immediately walk to the highway so that he did not stay on the road, besides the sky was looking cloudy.

While at Gumilang's residence, Denis returned to the family room after Mr. Damar told him that Nabila had left. He seemed to be looking for something. As soon as he could not find what he was looking for, he shouted to a servant who used to clean the room.

"Can I help you, sir?" Asked a servant with breath who was still panting as he had run from the kitchen to the living room.

"Where's the lunchbox that was here?" Denis asked while pointing at the table.

"So I took it to the kitchen sir, I thought___"

Not done yet the waiter spoke, Denis cut him off."Bring here!" His order

After the waiter brought the box of supplies he meant to his face, Denis brought it into the room. He enjoyed the contents of the box so voraciously without the slightest remaining, either because he was hungry because his stomach was not filled all day or because the cooking made by his wife was very delicious.

It had been almost an hour Nabila waiting for a taxi on the sidewalk, but the vehicle he was waiting for did not appear. There are some taxis that have passed, but in it there are always passengers.

Because he felt his body was getting tired, Nabila chose to sit himself on a cement bench in front of a shophouse that looked uninhabited. His eyes were still observing the not-so-busy highway while hoping for a vehicle to be hauled away soon.

Now Nabila felt a little regret when he had rejected Mr. Damar's offer to be escorted home by the driver. "How about this, if there's no taxi? Back to Denis' place? Uhhhh what the world says, shameful. Bismillah, sure there will be a taxi", grumbled Nabila in the heart.

While he was sipping water in a bottled beverage he had bought at a store while walking towards the highway, a white car stopped in front of him.

Nabila closed the water bottle he had just drank, then frowned and tried to speculate about the car. The look on Nabila's face turned flat when he saw someone coming down from the car and walking towards him who had started to stand up from his seat.

"You're Nabilakan, Denis' cousin?" Ask the man to Nabila.

Nabila just nodded her head in response to the question from the man, who was none other than Adam, Denis' best friend. Indeed, when the three of them had met at the supermarket at that time, Denis introduced Nabila as his cousin.

"What are you doing here?" Ask Adam again.

"Waiting for a taxi" Nabila replied as she rolled her eyes observing the highway.

"Where are you going? With me, yes, I'll drive to my destination" said Adam.

"No, thank you so much for the offer. I wait for a taxi" said Nabila without looking at Adam.

"Are you afraid of me?" said Adam, looking at Nabila's face.

Adam's words made Nabila finally look at the man. Then he shook his head.

"Then let me take you, look it looks like it's going to rain" Adam said, looking up at the sky.

Because his offer was rejected, Adam chose to immediately re-enter his car and leave the place. While Nabila again sat down to his place earlier, staring at the car Adam who began to move away.

******

In the car Adam grumbled considering Nabila who rejected his offer earlier even swearing had come out of his mouth. But on the other hand he was also worried about the brother of his best friend, seeing the sky was getting darker.

He picked up the phone he had placed near his wheel. Skillfully his left hand sought out his best friend's contact and his right hand remained at the wheel. After Denis' name met, he immediately clicked the phone icon.

No need to wait long, until the phone is finally connected.

"Hallo, Denis" said Adam

"What did you call?" Ask Denis ketus

"Ngapain loe bro this afternoon?" Adam chattering.

"For nyiram toge" Denis answered.

"Seriously loe bro? Does it have to be watered?", asked Adam.

"Hemmm" Denis started to get upset

"Ngapain also loe nanem toge, nis?" Ask Adam to wonder.

"Ehhhh***, why also you are confused about toge problem. Cepet, by the way, what did you call me?"

"That's loe's cousin pity, take care of sono" said Adam.

"Cousin? Which cousin of mine? Like all my cousins are outside?" Denis is confused.

"Loe amnesia yes, noh si Nabila noh, cook have a beautiful cousin like a little angel so you forget" replied Adam degan gregetan.

Denis patted her forehead. He forgot that he had introduced Nabila to Adam as his cousin, not his wife.

"Is it the same as Nabila?" Ask Denis.

"He was hanging on the taxi-hailing street near Loe's house" Adam said.

Denis was shocked to hear what Adam said. He momentarily thought and muttered in his heart "Means Nabila until now has not reached home? Why not go home with Mr. Gugun or book a taxi online? You idiot!"

"Dennis! Denise!" Adam cried because there was no voice from his friend.

"Let alone, already gedhe too, he can take care of himself", Denis' voice was made as calm as possible even though he actually felt worried about his wife.

"You see, I forced him to come home from having a brother also not to use kayak loe" said Adam.

"Don't fuck around with him, or want me to kill you" Denis said.

"Gue does not mind making sacrifices to be slaughtered, klo can get women as sweet as Nabila" said Adam who followed the sound of his loud laughter made Denis keep his phone away from the ear.

"Based on playboy cap bunting rats", Denis shouted then unilaterally disconnected the phone.
