Waiting Room

Chapter 10 #4

I \= April

Tonight janu was a little difficult to contact. When I tried to contact him via video call, only the sound of tuuuut tuuuuut was heard. Then he said the signal was bad. Just by phone. Do not video call. It's okay. The important thing is that I can contact him.

"Janu, I'm doing why."

"Huh? Why are you?"

"Hindu. It's exhausting."

"Then don't miss."

"I wouldn't miss it if we met often. I will not miss you if you do not stay away. I won't miss if our hugs touch each other. Not going janu."

"Hmmmmm. But we've met many times."

"Video calls? It doesn't heal at all. The look in our eyes on social media is just a reliever, Janu."

"alright. Besides meeting what else will you make your longing medicine?"

"Don't know. But if now. I miss your poetry."

"Oh yes poetry. I don't call this poetry. But this is what's in my heart for you."

Sour sense of longing

There was a beautiful woman across the phone.

Looking at his favorite neighbor's house behind the window.

With a mouthful of talk, he said he missed each other.

Her voice was sweet but troubled.

He said nothing could cure his longing but to meet the guardians of his heart.

But that was for him.

If for me, as good as the longing healer is the sweet voice that is cheerful, happy,

The look of her happy round eyes,

And a smile from her mouth that can defeat the most beautiful crescent moon.

Don't ask. I'm melting and very happy. Her words bewitched me to bring out the most fluffy smile.

"Thank you." Her speech.

"Thank you for what?"

"For your smile that overcame the crescent moon is graced." Damnit. He knew I was smiling and instead of continuing the conversation, I smiled continuously.

Okta took me to the cafe yesterday. To perform the task. But when he came to my house, he forgot to bring his laptop. So we have to go to her house first.

We stopped at an ash-colored house. With a short green grass in the yard. When I entered, Okta's mother immediately welcomed us both.

"Why are you back? Who this?:

"You need to get a laptop. Oh yea. Mom, this is Okta's friend. Her name is April." Okta said and I immediately kissed her hand.

"This is what you like to tell me. Which vacation photo is the same as you? Beautiful son of her."

"Hehe. Yes mom.. uh aunt...."

"It's okay. Just call mom."

Okta then went to get her laptop. Mom told me to sit down. Before sitting down, my gaze focused on the glass door that caught my attention. That door leads to the rear, right in front of me.

"Mom, that's behind the park?" I asked while walking slowly.

"Yes. That's the Okta park that wants. He said he wanted a quiet atmosphere in the house. Wanna there?"

"Can't Mom?"

"Can. Come on!"

Mom drove me to that back seat. When the glass door opened. I was so impressed with what was there. The park is dominated by green grass with colorful flowers. A small fish pond with fish that move and cause the sound of water gurgling. In the middle of the park, there is a white swing and also several chairs and tables.

"Wah Ma'am. It's really good." I was so impressed by the view here. I took a deep breath. Fresh air came into my body.

"April.." cried Okta. When he found out I was here, he came straight for me. "Come on. Go now." Bring along.

"don't want. Just stay here!"

"Eh. Yasudah come!"

He invited me to sit in a white chair. And keep his laptop on the desk. Mother left us both there.

"Oct!"

"What?!" She's astonished.

"We've been friends for almost two years now, Okta."

"Yes. I know."

"But you just told me about your beautiful home?!" I kept talking while turning my back to the octa and staring around.

"Hmmm. I thought you wouldn't come to my house."

"Heem. Alright. Excuse me. We will often play here. Now do your final job!"

***

After doing my final job. Uh actually not done yet, but cape. Hehe. We sat together on the white swing. I ate the chocolate he gave me. The gurgling sound of water created by the fish pond makes the atmosphere more calm.

With a swing that moved at a fixed tempo, he continued to stare at me blankly. I don't know what that means. I don't know what he was thinking.

"What?!" My toot.

"How's janu?"

"Janu? He's doing just fine. He's still calling me. She's still the same."

"Oh.." he nodded.

"Why do you ask that?"

"It's okay. Just asking."

"About your feelings. I haven't been able to reply to him. And maybe I won't pay it back."

"Yes. It'sit's okay. Just go ahead."

"Later what?"

"Yes. I mean later if you want to, you can pay for it."

"Hmmm. Uh the chocolate's gone. I want some more!"

"alright. I bought it." He immediately moved.

"No need. I'm kidding. Hehe." I held him while holding his arm.

"If eskrim wants to? I have escrim. But the coffee taste. Hehe."

"Not to."

"mmmmmmm. A cake? Crisps?"

"No need... Why are you? Wonder. Everything offered. Haha. All I need now is to sit down. Okay." Okay."

I tried to get off that swing. When my foot slipped down. Until I fell. "Oh.." I shouted.

"Eh. April. You're okay what?" He immediately looked at my body.

"Okta. I just fell into a rump."

"I can't see you get hurt."

"It just fell. Maybe just scratched."

"Either that. I have to make sure you don't get scratched."

"should?"

"Here I have to say."

"His word? Says who?"

"I said just now."

"Ah already. Let's go home!"

***

He took me away from his house on his motorbike. Just a while he was gone, he stopped his bike in front of a minimarket, telling me to wait there while he went inside. Shortly after, he walked out again.

"Bought what?"

"This. Let's go!" He gave me two chocolates. And take me home.

Oh, my God, he took my words seriously. I just shook my head and smiled because of his attitude.

***

"Never be sad. Don't fall off. Must be careful. I don't like to see you get hurt." Said it in front of my house.

"Yes, yes, you must also be careful. If you bring a motor, don't be like a possessed person!!" I firmly put on a sullen face.

"Yes. Excuse me. Let it slow down, the bike I push and you ride."

"Issssh is there. It's fast to go home." I rubbed his hair fast.

"Yes. I'm coming home now." The reply was a screech while pinching my cheek slowly.

Loyal guards at all costs.

Oye. Who is he?

Why am I happy with him?

I'm happy with the way he worries about me.

I was happy with her sincerity to love me even though I couldn't repay her feelings.

I was also happy with the way he treated me.

Ah thank god. You have sent a faithful bodyguard who truly guards and controls me at all costs.
