Waiting Room

Chapter 4 #2

I \= April

Tomorrow it's true. Okta called me again. Still with the same question.

"When can we eat together?" It feels angry. But do what? He will also continue to contact me until his invitation is accepted. I'm sure it is.

"Yes. Later noon. But just this once."

"Seriously?"

"Yes.." I closed it. Janu, sorry. This time I ate with another man. But I'll obey you.

***

Why does time pass so quickly. It's noon now. I was so lazy to go with Okta. But just this once. So he stopped calling me. I called him, asked him where we were going to eat.

"Hello. Where's eating?"

"I'm picking it up now."

"Do you know my home address?"

"I'm sorry. Yesterday when I got home by ojek. I followed you." Fuck up! Stalker. A few moments later the sound of the motor horn sounded.

I looked out the window. He has also arrived. That's fast.

"April...Who is that outside? Your friend?" Mom screams.

"Yes mom..." I'll be out to see him soon. I want to get there, eat and go home. It's been. Don't want to deal with him anymore.

"Wear the helmet!" He said while trying to put a helmet on me.

"I can do it myself!" After wearing the helmet I immediately went up and told him to quickly leave.

And she went to the place where I often went with janu. Why should I go there? Yes tuha.n he even made me remember janu. I got off the bike, went inside and sat down at the closest place to the door, so if you want to go home it doesn't take long.

"I'd like to order a chicken mba.."

"Yes!" He raised a hand. I'm holding back my anger this time.

While he was quietly eating, he was busy asking.

"What is busy now?"

"Eat with you!"

"Haha. It's not. Does it mean work or what?"

"lectures. Also a broadcaster. Already?"

"Thank you yes. I'm willing to accept my invitation." He smiled broadly.

"Oh yes. I was told by my boyfriend to accept it. He said he said he agreed if I ate with you." Then he shut up. Goody. Let him not chase me.

"His boyfriend is there?"

"There's."

Then he just nodded. His face turned rather grim. After the meal was over, I ordered one strawberry ice cream.

"Yes!" He's still following me. I sat down again at that place. And he, still cannibalizes this.

"What if your boyfriend finds out? he didn't follow you to watch?"

"Away. He's a long way away. But he took care of me." I explained while continuing to lick the ice cream.

***

"It has. Let's go!" I said while continuing to play HP.

"Watch?" Oh jesus. He has no end. I told you I had a boyfriend. Still teaching me to go there.

"No. Yes already. Quickly home. If you don't want to drive, I'll just order an ojek!"

"OKAY. Okay. Home."

In the middle of the way to the house, the man who had eaten with me followed behind. Hhhh. I am so worried about his attitude. I kept looking back and shaking my hand to let her go, but she followed me home. It's not very pleasant. Still mending if he just followed just to nail home. If it turns out he had evil intentions how? Especially when he refused. He could have been mean.

"Why are you still following me?"

"I'm gonna take care of you."

I'm coming in right away, don't care about it. But he pulled my hand.

"Why the hell?" My voice is a little high.

"Thank you."

"Yes. Same same. It's already yes." I rushed in and closed the gate. I went into the room immediately, and tried to call Janu. But he could not be contacted. I've called him a few times but still can't. Maybe he was busy.

***

At seven o'clock he finally called me. Finally, I can't wait to tell Janu everything.

"Hi.." said.

"Hey. Janu I want a story."

"What story?"

"I've already accepted Okta's invitation to eat."

"Continue?"

"Yes. And he followed me home."

"Why said?"

"He said he wanted to take care of me. I'm so sorry!"

"Why hate? It's okay what. He took care of you for me because I couldn't."

"Why is that?"

"Yes. It's okay if you eat or go with anyone. As long as that person doesn't get me out of your life. As long as I'm the only one you consider to be someone special and most precious." My smile expands. He's not like any other man I've ever been close to. He doesn't keep me close to anyone as long as I keep his heart.

"So far what should I do?"

"You're just friends with him. There is no harm in being friends? It's even better if he can take care of you while I'm not around. But please yes, just as a friend."

"Jealous?"

"Not jealous. He is not someone worthy of you. So I won't let you get close to him more than a friend."

"Who is worthy of me? Hehe." I asked while laughing.

"That you were just asking."

If I wasn't on the phone, I'd really like to scream happy. Screaming over every word he said. Maybe it's an ordinary sentence for someone else, but I think there's honesty in every woo that comes out of his mouth. After a long time of talking, I decided to go to sleep.

"Janu, I'm going to bed. It's sleepy."

"Don't dream of meeting me..."

"Why?"

"I'll be jealous of the January you have in your dreams because she can meet you."

"OKAY. It's been. Good evening. Hail miss."

"I hate."

"Kok hates?"

"Yes. Hate the miss because she has to be."

***

I don't know how many smiles came out of my lips because of it. Janu. No matter how much you say that makes me happy, it can't take away my longing. I want us to meet. Sit both again. I want to lean on your shoulder for a moment, and then I tell you whatever I want to tell you. After that you returned my story. I want you to rub my head or carry me even if it's only a few meters away. Now I need that. I want to do anything, even if it's just drinking water, as long as it's with you. I thought that distant relationships were always easy. No matter how sophisticated the technology, it will not be able to make a warm embrace, will not be able to make a hand grip that is so tight and binding.
