Lintang slammed his phone in bed. He contacted Samudra but got no reply.
Messages that have been sent since the afternoon, or even calls that have just been made. None got a response.
This time he was really worried. Usually the ocean is not like this. The latitude takes a deep breath.
He was just happy. Now he was even more nervous than before.
He was really worried that Ocean was falling in love with Aristia, his own sister. I can't imagine if the two were together.
Imagining that his anger was at its maximum. He closed his eyes and slept in bed.
"You like Aristia?" Asked yesterday.
"Stop that...." The ocean said quietly, "Maybe my taste is still the same. He's the brother I love. You know I don't have a sister."
The Ocean's reply made him not relieved in the slightest. Usually he will answer no.
Last semester, when the three of them were on vacation together. Samudra told her that she got Aristia's love confession.
Aristia knew her sister liked the Ocean. But he had no idea Aristia would express his feelings.
Lintang's annoyance enveloped him, but he could hold it back because obviously last semester Ocean really loved Aristia as his little sister.
Even Samudra did not pay much attention to Aristia after that. Latitude was happy, it meant that he could get close to the Ocean without worrying about Aristia.
Since their childhood Aristia had always attracted the attention of the Ocean. The ocean divided his attention, different if Aristia was not around.
Once upon a time, their father and mother were away.
Aristia and Lintang join the Samudra family on vacation. The three of them ran.
Aristia fell, and the Ocean carried Aristia into the house. The ocean wiped Aristia's bloodied knee with a tissue, and attached hansaplas to her injured knee.
At that time the latitude could only pay attention to them.
[I also want to be carried like that.]
Heart whispers Latitude. The star blew away his daydream that had already flown far away.
*****
Aristia seemed happy to ride a kora-kora. From the entrance of the night market there are two games that attract his attention, namely kora-kora and bianglala.
"I've wanted to ride this kora for a long time, brother." Aristia said accompanied by hysterical sounds heard from visitors who ride this vehicle.
"Why do you like this game, in general women do not really like games that stimulate adrenaline like this." Samudra.
Ahh, only this time did he see Aristia's gentle yet confident side.
The ocean looked at Aristia's smile. So sweet! Is it like this, huh? or he just realized it. Aristia used to be just a little girl who liked to spoil.
"I like the color of the lights. Makes it more interesting to ride." Aristia said, then she smiled and continued, "In addition we can shout loudly so that the burden is released. We don't have to be patient not to hate things we don't like. Wouldn't it be with the screams of all the turmoil that would disappear a little."
The ocean laughed at Aristia's reply. A little regret in his heart.
If only he could understand a little, and explain it correctly. This time will not turn into wasted time.
"Ah... One round of enjoying the game is really short." Aristia's words scattered the Ocean's reverie.
"You want one more round?" Ask Samudra then
"No need brother. Let's go down and look at the stand after it's boarded the reanglala." Bring Aristia.
After the kora-kora completely stopped, they descended. Aristia pulled the hand of the Ocean towards the food stand.
"I want this cotton candy, brother." Aristia rolled her eyes, "Yes.yes." said Aristia in a cute tone, as if seducing the Ocean.
Seeing that the Ocean just laughed and paid for what Aristia had taken.
"Let's sit down for a while" the Ocean sat Aristia on the bench.
"Yes, I am old" Samudra said. Aristia ate the cotton candy quickly.
"Well, it's over now. Come on, brother!" take Aristia while you rise.
"You are full of energy, Aristia."
Aristia just laughed.
They both went around the night market. Visit stand after stand to just look. Finally they arrived at the bianglala vehicle. Aristia and Samudra ascended, having bought a ticket.
"Come on, sister..." Aristia drew the hand of the Ocean. The ocean sat beside Aristia.
Not how long the ring turned slowly. At night the view is so beautiful, the lights that light up can be seen from above.
[Bianglala that spins slowly is indeed suitable to ride after riding a vehicle that stimulates adrenaline. Calm, I can see a view like this. I am truly grateful.].Said the Ocean in the heart.
"Why are you so fond of riding this reanglala. Is it similar to life?" Said the Ocean looking at Aristia who was smiling earlier.
"Not entirely like that. I like the reanglala because it's colorful. The bianglala never moves sooner or later. Speed's stable. So we can enjoy it without any hurry." Aristia
"Then you think simply." Said Samudra, now he was enjoying Aristia's smile.
"What Brother?"
"It's nothing. You're like a little kid." The ocean swallowed his voice, he came to his senses.
Aristia just laughed, looking at the ocean's behavior.
Suddenly the Ocean felt a tremor from his pocket. He saw the call from latitude. Unanswered. After he opened the message, he read some of the messages sent. Then repay.
[I was outside.]
Type it in on the message, then send a reply. Undeliverable.
Heard the voice of the message on his phone. Latitude immediately took the phone that was lying down, then smiled when he learned the message from the Ocean.
[I'm already home. Have you gone home.] Cross Reply
No more replies. Lintang put his phone back, actually he was upset but there was a reply that was enough for him.
The phone sounds again. He read the incoming message.
[Yes, I just got home]
Apparently latitude was asleep. Lintang glanced at the clock in his room.
Ten o'clock at night. Does he have a job on campus? Or was he with his friends? That's not possible.
He had accidentally met his friends who were gathering at a cafe near the campus, where Samudra and his friends used to gather or do chores. But the ocean was not met with them.
[What have you been busy all day?]
Back there's no reply. Latitude calls the Ocean but is not lifted. There was only an automatic message saying the number was busy.
Aristia looked at her phone ringing. He saw the name of the ocean on the screen.
"Hallo Brother.... What's up?" Aristia answered the Ocean phone.
"You tired? Why haven't you slept." Ask Samudra.
"Here I just went to bed. Brother also slept yes, good night, brother Samudra" said Aristia
"Good night Aristia." Samudra Saying.
The ocean closed the phone. He smiled, for some reason it felt like some days he was always happy to remember Aristia.
"Of course he's happy. Not that this has any sense of being a man. This is the happiness of a brother who has improved with his sister. Yes, it must be so." The ocean closed its eyes and fell asleep.
