Waiting Room
Chapter 1 #3



I \= Okta


Hii. It's okta. Know me, right? That's April's friend. Who takes him every day. Maybe he has told me a lot. Haha. Very confident. In the early days, every time I wanted to pick her up, she always refused and put on a very ugly face. But still my invitation was accepted. Because even if I refuse, I'll wait for him until he wants to. Uh but take it easy, now he's good to me somehow. I used to force her to eat, but now she's the one who's taking me. Yes I'm happy. Haha.


He likes to eat fried chicken. I love ice cream too, I love reading books too. And I like whatever he likes. Hehe. Not only that, I like it...... Her. Yeah, I like him. I used to express my feelings to her. But he refused. And now that I'm so close to her, she already has a partner.


Yasudah, how else, but my feelings can not be lost. So I'll keep waiting for him until he's separated from his partner. Until he becomes all mine. The point is, before he and his partner get married, there must be a possibility of them separating. Before she and her partner made a sacred promise, her heart was still likely to be stolen. So do not be afraid if you like someone who already has a partner. As long as he has not been betrothed or asked, we all deserve to fight. Haha.

She's gonna be her birthday soon. I know her date of birth from the people in the campus who were close to her. Hmmm I am confused what to buy a gift. Supply fried chicken for life possible. But it will expire. Or a stack of books. Or strawberry ice cream one full bucket. I was confused what to give him. Ah, think about it later. I'm going to the campus. Afraid late. But I'm gonna pick up April first.


I hurried off to run my bike to April's house. The last house I visited more often. This late house became my first stop. I stopped at a pretty big house but only occupied by three people. Sometimes it is only held in April. Mubazir once this house.


When it stops I usually honk twice and he'll meet me right out. I wonder why I only sound it twice. He finally came out wearing the shirt, jeans and black bag he always wore. Without further ado he immediately sat behind me, that's now. In the past he always went back and forth first to reject my invitation.


After walking some distance from his house, I took him out to eat. But he said he didn't want to, he just wanted to be put on a canteen. Today he looks lethargic. Pouty. Like a man who is bored. Hehe.

"What do you want to eat?" Ask her.


"Just meatballs. Drink some sweet iced tea."


I then went to order it. After ordering me to sit back in front of him.


"Why is that pouting? Many tasks?"


"No."


"Keep why?"


He didn't answer. He just holds his chin and daydreams. Until the food came, he did not move.


"firstly. It's been ordered." I said as he remained silent.


"This is. Janu said he won't be coming home this year. He'll stay there. I miss him so much Okta. Misses....." The explanation surprised me so much that I didn't blink. But I'm also glad that her boyfriend didn't come home. So I can be with him longer.


"Yes it's okay. Maybe he'll take a vacation there too." I'm trying to win it.


"But he once promised that we'd go on holiday to the amputate king if he came home."


"Oh so. Yasudah, just step down so next year's vacation."


"Ah you don't understand. I want it now. Next year is still a long time. I don't know how long I have to miss and how tired it is until he gets home."


"Indeed that miss is exhausting, huh?"


"Yes. Miss it cape. I can't meet him, can't hold him, can't carry him, can't walk with him."


"There's a phone, a video call and something else."


"In fact by calling her I can hug her? Can I ask him to carry me?"


"There's me." He then fell silent. There was silence between the two of us. "It has. Eat first!"


"don't want. I want a classy. Just love others!"


Gosh darn. Sometimes his childish nature sucks. But funny too. He was angry and made me smile. I chased him to his class. Then sit next to him. He pretended to be busy with his HP even though I knew he was just looking at the photo or sliding the menu.


"Why angry?"


"Because Janu didn't come home."


"If I bring janu back here. Your anger will disappear?"


"Seriously?"


"Yes not it. Where could I possibly take janu home." After I said that he hit me and pinched me very hard. "Adudamus. It hurts." I'm rummaging in pain.


"Hehe. Sorry."


"It's not that easy Okta. Must be chocolate!"


"It!!" I clenched my hands in front of him. When he opened it, I gave him a surprise.


"But lying!"


"Had ya.." he looks pissed and hits the table. I ran outside laughing for fear of getting beat up. Haha.


***


Until he left the last class, April still cemeberut. There was not the slightest smile on his face.


"Smiling dong."


"Hmm." He gave a smile for a moment, then pouted again. After riding the motorbike, I did not immediately bring him home. I took him far away.


"Where are you going? Why not go home soon?"


"Follow it out." I answered briefly while continuing to run my bike.


Eventually we both arrived at a pine forest. He was happy and surprised because I arrived to bring him here. Until the two of us entered, he remained silent without a word.


"Why?"


"You are why. Why bring me here?"


"Let's be calm and not get angry. Huh!" I gave her a chocolate bar but she looked at me instead. "Say if I give your angry chocolate away! Quickly take!" After my sentence just now, he took his chocolate and ate it.


"Why are you just now bringing me here? I love this place."


"Hey princess. Who has always rejected me when invited to leave?" Then he laughed.


"Hehe. Yes sorry. Okay. Now you please take my picture!" He gave me his HP.


"Yes come! One, two, three. It's." Already."


"Again!"


"One, two, three. It's." Already."


"Again, again!"


"One, two, three. It's." Already."


After dozens of times one two three already. Finally he stopped asking me to take his picture.


"Ah this is ugly. This one too!" Say it while sorting and selecting photos to delete.


"Oh my god, out of thousands of pictures of you, just a few that you keep?"


"Yes. That was all ugly. So I removed it." Gosh darn. He did not think yes how exhausting it was to take his picture hundreds of times. Fucking women!


Beautiful women makers hope.


The first time I had so much hope.


Put it on a beautiful woman who already has a bond.


The bond he creates with the person he loves the most.


But it's okay, I'm ready to wait for him from morning until evening.


Until he was willing to make me his place home.
