Walking One Way

Yogyakarta's story

Milia is a young doctor one of the leading hospitals in Jakarta. Adrian is a lecturer who loves his job. They met at a seminar on education. After exchanging phone numbers and dating several times Adrian expressed his interest in Milia. And they finally dated.

After they were separated by their respective careers began to emerge conflicts. Schedules that often clash make their relationship more distant. Milia thought about how to make their relationship better and not bland anymore. He decided to exchange his schedule with his friend. Milia works 3 full days and has 3 days off to meet Adrian in Yogyakarta. Milia didn't tell Adrian about the plan.

With a happy feeling Milia imagined how Adrian would react to his presence in Yogyakarta. Milia continued her sleep which had been delayed because of this departure.

Milia arrived at the Adrian boarding house. He was waiting for news from Adrian because he had not been contacted since there was no answer. Finally he decided to ask the residents of the existing boarding house.

"Mission mas, would you ask me if I know Adrian?"

"Adrians? he moved out of January"

"Oh yes thanks"

"yes together"

After knowing that, Milia chose to take a walk and approached Adrian later that night. Satisfied with his culinary tour, Milia returned to the inn.

"I'm in yogya now" Milia sent a message

Time shows at 7 pm, milia phone rings but she is cool with the spa provided at the hotel. When he finished, he saw a message from Adrian.

"you're in yogya?"

"ko didn't say first, I can pick you up"

"where now?"

"i've moved out of boarding"

"the address"

"Jl. Ps. Kembang, Sosromenduran, Gedong Tengen, Yogyakarta City"

"okay I'm there" replied milia

With lightning fast Milia headed to the place of her lover. Adrian was waiting for him in front of the house.

"Darling, I miss it" said Milia

"me too"

"have you eaten? want to eat together, no? we're eating out"

"at home, I just got home tired"

"oh, what do you want to eat?"

"you have to go in. yuk"

"i'm sorry"

In the middle of the meal they heard a bell ringing. Someone gave food to Adrian.

"Who is loving?"

"Neighbors"

"girls?"

"Ngga, dude"

Milia tried to be normal, she knew that the one who gave her food was a woman because she eavesdropped on their conversation outside. Milia told me about her life from work to her friends.

"do you want a story?"

"there's something really exciting about it"

"hmmm. tomorrow there's a lecture as well"

"yes tomorrow is full as well"

"ooh, sunday morning run yu in malioboro"

"can"

"you want to go to the inn I don't"

"all sunday morning abis run ya"

"okay"

After driving Milia, Adrian went home quietly. While Milia returned to the inn with all the possibilities that were in her head. Weighing what percentage of Adrian's chances are of cheating on him because he has already started lying. He could not sleep because his mind was already very branched. He decided to open youtube and watch various videos at random in order to distract his mind and no longer overthinking about Adrian. Before everything was clear, this was just his estimation. But one thing changed from Adrian, he never told Milia anything again.

Milia spends her time alone. After a walk and make some videos for his social media account. He was satisfied with this short trip. Feeling lonely at the hotel, he decided to watch live music at night. Honey, he has no friends in Yogyakarta. Some songs were sung by the singer. Ranging from soft music to music that makes the audience excited. boisterous cheers and applause of the audience is heard, eliminating the quiet he feels. Milia was happy to be in the middle of the audience.

The phone rang, Adrian's name on the look.

"Hello"

"You where it's so noisy"

"I'm in front of Malioboro again watching live music"

"alone?"

"Dad"

"Well, are you still watching live music? go home! what time is it"

"Dad, why are you so angry"

"I'm not angry, if there's anything. go home right now!"

Phone disconnected.

"Adrian nyebelin really ngomelin me, nemenin also not" grumbled Milia

With an irritated feeling, milia cried in her room. He felt he was not special to Adrian.

"Gue understands that Adrian is busy, but he can bring me home. Especially if I am here. Why he doesn't understand"

Milia disguised her crying voice with the TV on. After being content to let out his heart, he fell asleep from exhaustion.

The bell rang, while the occupant of the room was still asleep. Milia opened her eyes preparing to open the door. He wondered who was pressing the bell this early.

"who?" he said while opening the door

"oh you, ko early in the morning already here"

"he said he wanted to do sports"

"oh yeah, I forgot. just go in, I'm ready first"

They began to run down the jl. malioboro, some people came in groups alternately. The streets of malioboro are starting to get crowded with people who exercise. There was the voice of a very excited mother leading the sport this morning. Invite the people who have lined up to follow his instructions.

"Iih sir Adrian menggapain ngeliatin sports mothers"

"wrigging isn't mengeliatin is different huh"

"yes, I am squirming"

"later you are married then jog wearing that tight shirt"

"it's so july you. ngga, I'm the sports house at home"

"masa? later also follow the same mothers of the sports complex that"

"yee so tau nih"

"the race yes until the end, the winner can follow the wishes of his partner until later in the afternoon"

"can, itung used to dong"

"123"

"Adrian curaaang"

Milia exerted all her strength to win. As if a national championship race, he ran as fast as lightning. His competitive spirit always appears when there is any competition whether it gets a prize or not.

"Yeees, I won" said Milia, shouting in excitement

"Yes, the competitive"

Milia turned around Adrian laughing.

After breakfast together, they return to their respective homes for a date later at noon. Milia smiled, imagining what she would plan today for Adrian.

"So what's your plan today?"

"first facial together, keep watching, abis it shopping. I want to eat all you can eat, oh yes photobox too. I want to try viral food too, too, what's the name but the boot is in the mall that we want to come"

"you want to kill me, Dad? a lot of it won't be enough time"

"haha enough ko let's go so we have to spit"

Milia pulls Adrian's hand so he speeds up. After the facials, Milia sees the sovenir shop trying on some hats.

"take a look at these glasses" Milia said

Adrian only according.

"It fits the glasses, the photo first" said Milia while taking some pictures

All the wishlists that Milia has been granted, he is very happy because Adrian wants to do everything he wants. After the date, Milia immediately cleaned up her things and returned to Jakarta because tomorrow morning she had to go back to work.
