Waiting Room
CHAPTER 3 #2



I \= April


"Mother~" I shouted from outside the janu house while pressing the bell.


"Yes." she answered as she walked out and opened the door.


"Eh April, come on in."


I'm in. My mother offered me a drink but I refused. After my mother sat down in front of me, I gave by the one my mother had brought yesterday.


"Mom. It's from my grandmother's house. Last night, mom just came home.


"Thank you." Mom opened what I had given her. "It's the same leaning dodol ya. Janu's favorite."


"Yes mom. If only Janu were here."


"You miss him?"


"Yes mom. It's only been a few days. Hehe."


"Mother too. If it wasn't for her education, I'd have told her to stay here. Then marry you."


"Mom~ is available. I'm still in college, too. Hehe." We talked for a long time but it was fun. After the time showed at nine o'clock, I said goodbye because I had to be a campus.

When I was in the middle of the campus after class, I sat in my pocket and did my tasks on my laptop. A very big task. When he was dizzy working on the task, there arrived a video call from Janu. I quickly lifted it.


"Hello. Uh how are you?" Janu surprised me.


"What's up? I why?"


"Kok is getting pretty.I told you it's ugly, let me like you."


"Aduuuhu. The first greeting too. Janus. Can I not like other men?" Suddenly the question came to pass. I asked that because I remembered what the taxi driver said yesterday. So I wonder if he would get angry if I liked another guy?


"Why did you ask that?"


"Jawab only..."


"Can."


"..."


"Order the other man it was me."


"Besides you?"


"Can. Origin of the man who became your neighbor in front of your house. Who often drive to the campus.. "


"good. Do it!"


"Passion to do his job!"


"Kok know?"


"Yes. If you are usually on the office you are doing a task. Because if you eat with me. Hehe."


"Yes. Ja.... Many tasks. Dizziness!"


"Yes already. Lookatme. Let the dizziness go."


"Yes. Dizziness gone. But unfortunately it has increased! Hehe."


"Haha. It's good at seducing."


"Why are you awake? It's still morning."


"Dizziness. I did a lot of things from last night."


"Look at me. Let the dizziness go!" I repeated the words he said.


"Yes. Dizziness gone. But unfortunately it's only increased!" We laughed at the same time.

Now a lot of tasks. Very tiring. If there are many tasks like this, it feels like even want to stop college. But if you think about the future, immediately diligent again. Haha. Human feelings are unpredictable. Now I'm thinking what I'm doing right now there. Because if I ask on the phone. Her answer was always strange "being talking to you." Hmmmm. Substantial. Suddenly I wanted ice cream. Afternoon afternoon is delicious. Hmmmm. Okay, I'll just go now.


As usual, I'll order a taxi. Oh yeah, I haven't explained. I don't like riding my own bike, I'd rather be piggybacked. Hehe. I asked him if I needed a vehicle or not. I don't want to because there's a janu who will always take me. It turns out that he doesn't exist now. But until now I still prefer to be piggybacked. Haha.


Still riding the ojek, I bought ice cream at the drivethru after I finished looking for a seat. A bench that fits both, but only the quiz itself. Hmmm, that sucks. I took an ice cream photo of my favorite strawberry flavor and sent it to Janu.


"Strawberry cream is now not accompanied by chocolate ice cream." I was clearly in the message. He just read it, not reply to it. A few moments later there was a video call coming in. It was from janu, I picked it up.


"Eh you bought ice cream first. Haha."


"And let the strawberry ice cream be accompanied by the chocolate ice cream."


"There's just one."


"Don't feel alone. I have a kok. It is far away, but there is. Although not beside you, but there is. Although not holding your hand, but there is. Although I can't hold you, there is. You're not alone."


"Yes. You exist. I'm not alone. You are always there, though not beside me, though you do not hold my hand, though you cannot hold me. Thank you for having. Thank you for not making me feel alone." I smiled, she smiled too.


Our conversation stopped. I put my HP in the bag and stood up from the seat and hit someone.


"Ouch. If you don't go while playing HP!" He just kept his head down on his HP.


"Eh sorry." She's staring. "Eh. April. How are you?"


"Octa? Good. I'm fine." Ah he's Okta. Someone who once gave me a chocolate-flavored drink when I was heartbroken. Who once gave me a letter through janu. And he immediately expressed his feelings for me through whatsapp out of nowhere he got my number. But I refused it and blocked the number. That's so nasty. Haha.


"Where are you going?"


"home. It's a long time ago ya.." I'm gone. Ouch. The object I ordered has not come yet. I don't want to talk to him for long.


"Eh. Wait." Wait." He chased me and stood beside me. "We... eat?"


"No. I'm full already." I said while occasionally looking left and right looking for the motorcycle I ordered. But he kept looking at me.


"Whatsapp number you can't call?"


"I've blocked your number." Short reply. He didn't go and followed me to the left and right. I looked at him in wonder and shook my head. Finally, the brother arrived. I got up and told him to leave quickly.


"Come bang. Hurry along!"


"If you can't, eat it tomorrow!" Okta shouted out loudly but I didn't care about it.


***


Trrt.... My HP is shaking because of a call.


"Ah must be janu!" I took my HP from the bag. It turns out the number is unknown. I lifted.


"Hello.." I said.


"So when can we eat together?"


"O... Okta?"


"Yes. So when can we eat both?"


"It has. I eat every day!" I hung up on him. Then there's another call. Ah he's not bored of his boss!


"What?!" I bluffed.


"Eh. Wh why? Arrived angry."


"Jan. It's okay." Ouch. Do I have to tell Okta or not to Janu? But I'm afraid he's angry. He was jealous and wouldn't call me again. Eh april.your mind is too far!


"Try stories. Why?"


"E.. This... earlier.. there's Okta, Janu."


"Oh....so on?"


"So he came and took me out to eat. He kept calling me until I was so mad."


"Why? People are being refused food?"


"Aren't you jealous?"


"No. What is jealousy for? You are mine."


"Aren't you afraid of losing?"


"No. The proof is now that you are still in front of me."


He made me smile with every word he said. It's not his seduction, but his honesty.


"Good, boss. Then what should I do? He'll call me again."


"You accept. You keep saying, you were told by your boyfriend to accept his invitation."


Janu. But even this way I feel guarded. You are human, right? Not an angel disguised as a human? Or don't be quiet, you're always beside me to take care of me. Already April. Don't keep imagining. Hehe.
