Waiting Room

Chapter 4 #1

I \= January Anggara

The next day I heard a scream from outside the house. The voice was clearly heard calling my name to get out immediately. Mom told me to see who came because she was busy. The voice came from April. He was standing in front of my house. While occasionally pressing the doorbell and folding the hand.

"What's wrong?" I asked in wonder.

"Let's eat fried chicken! I'm hungry!!." His shouting.

"Aren't you just taking your girlfriend?"

"No. Come fast!!!"

There was no wind, no rain, and he invited me to eat. I haven't had a shower yet. I was still wearing the clothes last night. But he forced me to leave quickly. Yes already. I just wash my face and change my clothes and wear a lot of perfume. Haha.

Just as I opened the door he immediately pulled my arm to quickly leave.

"Come!!"

"Eh. Uh. Wait get the motor first."

"Hhhh." He looks furious. He's this really why the hell? Suddenly his attitude became like this. She's having PMS? Because he said the woman was often angry when she was PMS.

We got on the bike and went to a fried chicken restaurant. When he arrived and entered, he quickly went to order.

"Mba. Spicy fried chicken seven!!." Annoyed annoyed.

Oh my goodness, so much!. Usually he eats two at most. I became more and more astonished.

After the order arrived. He looked at me sharply and I replied with a look of wonder.

"Not much.....an?" only then did I speak so, he immediately ate the food in front of him in a hurry. I can only swallow because I feel the pain. But he eats.

"Mba order one drink. Anything that matters a drink." I ordered drinks because of thirst. And when the drink was placed on the table, April swiftly picked it up and drank my drink.

"Hey. Oye. Dad dong. I want to too!. What the hell are you?"

Bruk.he hit the table very hard. Then he lowered his head. He sniffled while trying to say something.

"Hey. Why?"

"Fero broke me.." he explained slowly.

It's freaky. On one side I feel sad. But on the other hand I feel happy.

"Seriously?"

"Yes...."

Oh so, huh? If a woman is heartbroken she wants to eat a lot? Hmmm weird. But her relationship is also strange. Last night I saw April laughing. Talking to the two in front of the porch of his house. And now he suddenly said that they both had broken up. Relationships are unpredictable. The one that was good yesterday, now it ends with a split word.

"Yes already. He means he's not the best person for you."

"But I love him."

"Yes. You love her. But her? Don't cry for someone who has given you pain. Already, let's go..... Where are ya? Just go home. You'll tell me everything." I just brought her back home. Because if he stays here, it could end this whole restaurant. Haduuha. Just gohome.

We went home, before that April ordered the ice cream first. Oh, my God, he's sad still thinking about food.

****

"OKAY. How's story?!" I asked as we sat on my couch.

"So..."

"Wait!" I stopped his words and ran and picked up a snack. After that I told him to go back to telling stories.

"So yeah, he said we didn't fit in. We are fine, Janu.... But he suddenly said that. Aaaaa." she explained while shouting.

"Maybe he likes other women." My words even made him sadder and screamed louder. Oh my God, I gave a bad answer. Wanting to keep her quiet, I told her to eat a snack. And he swiftly took the food that was in the ditoples and ate it like an animal that was not fed for months.

He kept telling me stories and I kept trying to calm him down. Before a while later, he leaned against my shoulder, taking off every bit of sadness he had felt. Let it go and turn it into a smile. From the back of it I felt something else. Feeling things I've never felt before. Feel happy to feel like having it completely and feel like continuing with it. It's okay if my shoulder is used as a leaning place for a thousand times. As long as he leans, I'm ready.

Now I realize. That I really loved him. He really wanted to be hers and own it completely. One day I will tell him this if the time is right and if I am willing to say it.

Haha. Yes, I have not dared. Basic Janu!.

"Good day!"

After hearing the call, I went out and opened the door.

"Eh Feby's. What's up?"

"That's. anu.... duty?"

"Janu sorry yes. Tomorrow only. I have business!" Say it while it passes. Huh. Women are always so confusing!

"April!!!." I called him outside his house. With a hand that kept pressing the buzzer, I kept calling out his name.

"Yes..... ." Shouts answered. A few minutes later he came out. And open the gate. He's taking me in. From inside his house looks lonely, very quiet. There's only him himself.

"Where are your mom and dad?."

"From this morning I went to my grandmother's house. I haven't come home."

We chatted in the middle of the room while watching tv.

"What's up?." Ask April.

"You play. Talk too."

"Chat? We talk every day."

"Eh yes. I want to talk about something too." Further.

"What?."

"So. There's an event on one of the radio stations. They're looking for a new broadcaster. Aaaa. I'm so fucking grim."

"Gee. Goodgood. Have you registered?."

"It has. Registration is online. And the show's next week."

Being a broadcaster is one of his ideals. From the beginning. He was happy to hear a broadcaster speak. Sometimes he talks to himself. Showing a broadcaster who is broadcasting radio. So when there is an opportunity like this, it is certain that he should use it well.

"OKAY. I'll take you back!. You're a real rehearsal!." I said and rubbed his head. We stared at each other and smiled for a few seconds before he switched the conversation.

"wait. I brought a snack!." When he returned after bringing a snack, he was wide open to see an advertisement on television that aired a scene.

"Oh my goodness Janu. That's a great place! I'm going to go thereaaaa!" He looked so excited that he jumped onto the couch.

"That's Raja Ampat. Maybe we can get there sometime."

"Yes promise?"

"Hmm." I thought for a moment while holding my chin. "OKAY. Hopefully."

"No. Promise first. Promise fast." He put his pinky in front of my face.

"good. Promises. Don't forget to save!"

We eat snacks. On television is playing a music show. At that time the airing was a song from nadin Amizah. Since I was pampered, I told April to raise her volume and I sang along.

"When the world helps each other, look at which hearts are not one." My gun follows the song.

"Maybe it's not one in the end. But cheers never meet." In the lyrics of this final part arrived April crying with a smile.

"Eh why?."

"No."

"Whether it hurts, farewells should still be celebrated. It's okay if you split up. But don't forget you guys also made up stories together. Although it's not long." I clearly. Because I know he must have been very sad when Fero decided. The relationship has only been going on for a few months. Unfortunately not playing.

***

After that april farewell day, the next day I kept trying to make her move on. Trying to make him feel no pain when he sees fero with other women. Yeah, well, I'm trying to get closer to him. PDKT if said most people today.

"You look so happy. Have you moved on?"

"Ih Janu's. I am very happy today. I met a really cool guy, geez."

"Don't like someone. It will be easy to leave."

"Yes....."

"Yes what?"

"Yes. I like him."

"Hadeeee. Just been told."

Again, again and again. Know no? This is what it hurts. It hurts when the person you like, the one you love, talks about the person he likes. But how else. It's risk. Because revealing the squeeze is harder. Especially to my own friends. The attention we give him may only be regarded as the attention of a friend, nothing more.
