Waiting Room

Chapter 5 #1

Although I was very close to April, very often with her, very often chatting and eating together with her. But for that sort of approach to being close to him more than a friend is difficult. There was a time when I had to listen to her story of liking another man, it made me take a step back. There were also times when I paid attention to her, whether it was direct attention or through messages, she did not consider it as a concern from someone who expected a return of feelings. He just said "thank you. You are the best friend." Hehe, it's not as easy as imagined.

"Tomorrow at seven."

I stared confused. He'll understand.

"That's loh. The radio show."

"Oh ready." I saluted him.

"OKAY. Already before. I have class."

"OKAY. I'm still a long time. Be careful!"

"Just to class! No need to say be careful. Haha."

"Yes just in case."

"OKAY. Okay." Okay."

It was only a few moments after April left that someone patted me on the shoulder.

"Eh. You know April?." Her question made me look. He's a man. With a tufted hairstyle, clean white skin, high posture and stylish like a child today.

"Yes. Why?." Ask me.

"Gue wants to have a serious conversation. So then. I like him the same. We met a few times."

Again, again and again. I don't know how long I'll hold back my feelings and hope that no man comes close to April again. I'm tired of having to keep pretending to be okay when things like this happen. I don't like it if there's another guy close to April. But I also can't express my feelings. Because there is still a fear of rejection. So I'll wait until the time is right. Until April is not close or is like anyone.

"Oh so." Shortened speech.

"Lo knows how I can't handle him that way."

Let alone you, young man. I also want to be close to him. Thought ketus.

I just shrugged my shoulders and my hands meant I didn't know what to do.

"mmmmmmm. Gini aja's. You want to help me?."

"What help?."

"Love it's the same April." He gave me a red envelope. Oh my goodness, is this so funny?. There-there he is. Today, people still love to send letters.

"OKAY. Just calm down." My solute. I was not calm and did not like it. But how else. Just because I like it in April, doesn't mean I have to ban everyone from liking it. Because April is not entirely mine.

"Thanks yes." He patted me on the shoulder and left. I left because there was a class of a few more meits.

***

After my class was over, I waited for April to have one more class. While waiting, I took out a red envelope from the man I did not know his name. I don't know who he is. Yeah, I know peeking at someone else's letter is disrespectful. But I'm very curious. So sorry yeah......

*For someone with a broken heart yesterday, I want to thank you for accepting my offer of a drink at that time. When you are sitting alone. With a sad face holding back the pain. I haven't introduced a name yet. But I know what your name is. Through this writing, I just want to say that I want to come and see you through feelings. Not for stopping, but really wanting.

- Octa*

Chocolate flavored drinker.

"Oh, her name is Okta."

"Janu hei!." April has surprised me. I didn't get to put the letter back in the envelope.

"That's What?." I thought he would ask like that.

"It. mmmmm. Sorry for before. There was a man who told me to give this letter to April. But I read. Curious. Hehe."

"OKAY. Its alright. Where look!." Then he read it. And smile. He smiled and I was sick. I want to hit the table in front of me hard. I feel angry, upset with myself. When can I make her smile like that. He made her use all her feelings to understand how I felt. When's? The answer may be sometime.

"That's what you said yesterday that there's a really cool guy?."

"Hehe. Aye." Yeah."

"It has. Let's go!." I walked away while he kept asking.

"How do you think?. I have to accept him? I have to be her boyfriend? How's janu?."

"As far as you. My advice is just be careful. Heartbreak again."

He immediately fell silent. It seems to think about what I just said. We home. He with his happiness, I with a sense of tightness that continues to urge.

***

Staring at the moonlight in front of the terrace of the house is fun too. Especially when reading books and drinking coffee. Ah. happy is not lying.

"Jan... ." That scream again. I immediately opened the gate and told April to enter.

"What's wrong?"

"What are you doing?"

"Sit sitting. Read books. Drink coffee."

"OKAY. I'm following you." He immediately pulled my hand and sat down in front of the terrace.

"Please sit down." Her exclaim.

"Hey. This is my house."

"Eh yes. Haha. Sorry."

I sit too. And he suddenly whined indistinctly.

"Tomorrow how? I'm deg degan. I doubt. I'm not leaving tomorrow."

"OKAY. So I'm gonna take a nap until noon."

"Yes. Ja. Joking. Okay, what do you want tomorrow at the audition? Practice here!!"

"M." Mmm."

"Hurry up!" He's still scared for the audition tomorrow. But I kept telling him to practice what he was going to do tomorrow. He took a deep breath.

"Just a second!." He sipped coffee from earlier even I had a sip. Oh my.....

"okay... Hi everybody good night. Back on April radio. Still the same April who will accompany you until nine o'clock....... " He kept talking. About request. About the song playing. Everything talked.

"Have you?"

"Yes. How's it?."

"good. Goody. No need to be nervous. Don'tbeafraid. Fear is only in your mind. All you need to do is calm down and just think of it as if you were chatting with me!"

He took a deep breath. Then leaned his body in the chair. Rubbing his nose with his fingers was like confusion.

"OKAY. I'm ready!" He sat up straight and fixed his gaze.

"I'm home. Drugs. Thanks yeah!" She went. But before that, he finished the coffee on the table. I just looked at him in wonder. I want to hold it but I can't. Finally the coffee was drunk by April. There-there's just geez. Hhh. I quickly went to my room and fell asleep.

***

I woke up early because of the alarm. I take a shower and prepare to deliver April. I don't want to disappoint him for being late. When I was ready, I immediately brought my motorcycle keys and helmet. After getting out, there is already April who is sitting sweetly in front of the terrace.

"I've been since." Her speech. In the morning he came. It is still half seven. There's just.

"How is janu. From this morning I was thinking what I should do." Evidently.

"Ouch. Still gerogi? It's okay what. The gerogi is natural. It means we want to do our best. You came here just for gerogi? Haha. There's just one." I patted the jidat. We then took the bike. Before that we say goodbye to Mom.

***

"How did the man who gave the letter?" Ask me randomly.

"When did you ask that?"

"Just ask."

"She sent a message through WA. Ask about my feelings. I'll just answer if I'm not in a relationship with anyone."

"Hmmm. Good." My words whisper.

"What?"

"Nothing what."

***

People lined up long to get their participant number. Seeing a lot of people there, April gulped and looked at me.

"Quiet down!" I tried to calm him down. One by one people were called and gave their best performances. April is getting more and more gerogi see that. I pulled his arm and took him out.

"Not look at them. Wait!" I went and bought her favorite strawberry ice cream. Then give.

"Calm down first."

"Thank you."

Unlike usual, today he ate ice cream very slowly. Until the ice melts and drips. He was still thinking about what he should do later. Well, now I have to think what should I do to keep him from doing this? He kept daydreaming. Then his name was called but he didn't seem to hear. Ah long. I bowed in front of him and carried him inside.

"Eh. Uh. Janu!! What's up?"

"Your turn!"

"Huh. Now?"

"Yes. You were called."

I put him down, he went on stage and I waited for him beside the stage. He looked at me, I clenched my hands at him as a sign of passion. He nodded and started doing the audition.

"Good day everyone. I will accompany you until April..."

***

When he finished, he got off the stage and jumped on my back.

"Yetoo." Shouts excitement. I shook my head and laughed. While carrying him I walked out. Although it was stared at by many people.

"Don't go home. Eat first, huh?"

"Hmmmmm. Ja. Aye." Yeah." I answered while lowering it off my back. I took my helmet and put it on. Then I took one more helmet and put it on in April. I unconsciously kept looking into her eyes while smiling.

"Jan!" Call April to me who made me realize. "Let's go!"

"Yes. Ja. Come on!"

I ran a motorbike and stopped at a fried chicken diner.

"Don't want to be here. I want a martabak. Bring it home!"

"OKAY. Okay." Okay." I continued walking again. Stop at one place martabak seller.

"Not a telor martabak. Sweet martabak!"

"Why didn't you say that?" I walked again and stopped at the sweet martabak seller. I told him to come down to buy and I waited for the motor. Soon he came back with nothing.

"No taste I want."

"Just go home. We eat at home!."

"okay." Ck. He pissed me off, was anxious and wanted to laugh at one time. Why not just go straight home? Why turn around first?
