Waiting Room

Chapter 5 #3

I \= Okta

April radio broadcasts are about to be completed. Everyone get ready. To play hahaha drama. While waiting for time, I hid to see the conditions that occurred.

"April, for the recording of the horror story, can't it be done now?"

"Yes vin. Why now? Not tomorrow?"

"Now. Tomorrow is busy."

"Jude, please."

Vino takes April away to record her voice. I then get out. Discuss with everything.

"Lo blew up confetti yeah, you played guitar. Take the rest of the video singing. Wait I'll bring the cake first. Calm down is long. It's still an hour and a half away. You guys just behave normally."

***

The road was so jammed even though it was late at night. It took me twenty minutes to get to the cake shop. After my order was brought and paid, I rushed back. In any hurry, the streets remain unfriendly. Occasionally smooth, occasionally faltering. Angry people cannot be friendly. In essence, getting stuck is the most annoying trap where we are locked up with human suppressors.

Going home isn't always faster, I've missed more than thirty minutes. A message came in. He said April was done. He did not enter at twelve. But he'll still be out soon. What you can do, we immediately prepare a surprise. Konfetti, the singer, the guitar player and I were holding the cake. Everything is ready. April walked out, we waited in front of the door, to the left and right. He got out and the confetti started to blow up with a birthday wish.

"Happy birthday!!!! Whuuuu!!" Happy song tofu. She smiled broadly at me who was holding a chocolate cake with candles on it. Very festive.

Blow out the candle, blow the candle~

That night was so happy for me and for him.

"I don't think you know."

"Your estimate is wrong!! Let's blow the candles don't talk much."

"Yes." Yeah." He started to catch his breath.

"Don't forget to pray yet." I interrupted.

"Yes." Yeah." He took another breath.

"Pray well for you." I interrupted again.

"Okta, when did I blow the candles?" Stare annoyed.

"OKAY. Okay. Now!" He started breathing again. "Eh. Uh wait." My restrain.

"Apal again. Ck." He's starting to get angry.

"No. Let's blow it." Forced love. He pinched my stomach so tight. Between pain and wanting to laugh. He made me feel both things.

He then blew it. After that, I smiled widely. Everyone congratulates. April started handing out the cake. His first cut for me. After that, everyone went home. Just leave me and April alone. We sat on a bench. Sit cross-legged facing. He held his chin with both hands. Then we talked.

"I'm sorry. I didn't celebrate your birthday at exactly twelve."

"It's okay."

"Eh yes. What was the moment you blew the candle?" Askaqua.

"You know?"

"You are. Eat it tanya."

"Hope Janu to come home." she smiled. His gaze moved to another direction like he was imagining his favorite janu was there.

"I haven't given you a gift." I tried to distract myself so that the conversation about the janu that made me sick was stopped immediately.

"No need. The surprise was so happy."

"You don't?"

"Jas. Want, want. Haha."

"Make what?"

"Quick! Don't ask too many questions."

I then compartmentalized his HP. Looking for something I'll find. After a long search, I finally found it too.

"Well. This is what I want to give you." I said while showing a picture.

"Photo?"

"Not... to the place where it was photographed!" He looked at me seriously. Trying to digest what I mean.

"Seriously? There? To Raja Ampat? Aaaa." She screamed then unconsciously hugged my stomach tightly. Then there was the sound of a motor being heard. I don't know whose bike it is. We ignored.

"Thank you, Okta." he said, holding me tight.

"It has. I'm having trouble breathing." The sound of the motor horn sounds loud. We both looked at the sound it was coming from. April's eyes began to water. He immediately ran up to the bike, exactly someone who was there.

"Janu.." he cried loudly and hugged his beloved Janu who had come home. I just looked at him while smiling forcefully. Janu did not return the hug. Suddenly, she let go of the hug April gave her.

"I was going to give you a surprise. But your embrace of her surprised me even more, April."

"But Janu, it's not what it looks like. I can explain." Without hearing, Janu running his motor turned around.

"Jan... Janu... I can explain. Please listen first.." he kept shouting but in vain. He is not heard. He walked back to me. His eyes were still glassy but he was smiling. And I knew his smile this time was the biggest lie he had created.

"Let's go home!" His ink while rubbing his eyelids.

"How about we eat fried chicken first? Or escrim? You want escrim?" I tried to comfort him as much as I could.

"home. I just want to sleep."

Right now I don't want to talk about the problem. He definitely won't want to talk about it. I try to get his mind off as much as possible.

"Well then, let's go home!"

I'm piggybacking on him. But not for his house. To go to a cafe so he can calm down.

"We're here, Okta? I want to go home!"

"Just a moment..."

I ordered two matcha late and sat down at a table by the window. Unexpectedly the rain fell, soaking up everything beneath it. April's eyes did the same, bringing down rain. Eliminate her pretty face.

"I'm sorry.." I said. I'm sure it's all my fault. Just try it if I take off his arms, it probably won't be like this.

"It's not your fault. It's my fault." He said while continuing to bow.

"He's jealous. Then he loves you very much."

"He's jealous. Maybe he wanted me out of his life."

"Why say that?"

"Because he said. He won't be jealous, because I'm already his. So if he's jealous, am I still his?"

I'm mumbling. But keep talking as much as possible.

"It's not like that." I hesitated.

"Then how?" Quick reply.

"He loves you..."

"I want to go home. No need to deliver. I'm just gonna take a cab." He came home with the most bitter memories he had made. Although I wanted them to separate, but that doesn't mean I want to see April grieve like that. I want her to leave her lover because of her wishes. If they get further away but April's heart is still on her favorite janu, no matter how hard I try to get close, everything is in vain.

Because your janu has come home, for now I back down first senjenak to take a shift. If he leaves again, I'll try to get closer. I don't want to give up too easily. Because having you is both the most beautiful hope and promise I have to keep to myself.
