WHEN I FELL IN LOVE
Chapter 26
The theater door has opened. For those of you who already have a ticket are welcome to enter the theater room...
The melodious voice of Mother Maria Oentoe has echoed in the cinema area. We and the other spectators began to rush to the cinema attendant who stood in front of the theater entrance to hand over the tickets they already had.
According to the scenario planned by Erwin, in the theater he immediately occupied the seat number B11, and Lela occupied the seat number B10, while I chose to sit in the seat number B9. Yes, even if there is a ladder/street that separates the chairs that Lela and I sit on, but if viewed data (number), then Lela and I sit next to each other. Something that amused me a little.
Jessica chose to sit next to me, then she blatantly asked Jayadi to sit in the seat number B7 next to her. I felt quite sorry when I saw Boris's facial expression, when Jessica directly asked Jayadi to sit next to her. Boris smiled— smiled in embarrassment to himself, then he walked past me, Jessica, and Jayadi with his head bowed towards the B6 chair that was next to Jayadi. But just calm down! When at the restaurant, Jayadi and I had predicted that Jessica would definitely choose a place in the middle of me and Jayadi, with the aim, so that she would not sit next to Boris. Yeah, like I told you, Jessica's been keeping a little distance with Boris lately. But I didn't expect Jessica to ask for it outright, and to be honest, it made me hesitate to go through the plan we had already laid out before, which was: when the movie had already started, Jayadi and Boris pretend to go to the toilet. Then when they returned to the theater, the two of them exchanged seats. But if this is the case, it could be if later this plan remains on the run, and when Boris and Jayadi change seats, is a very possible thing, he said, if Jessica asked to switch seats with me blatantly (again), and that would embarrass Boris even more.
I had a glance at Jayadi, but I see, he was giggling watching a movie trailer that was being played on the cinema screen—a comedy film that will air next week. Then, I took a glance at Lela, I saw that she was chatting with Erwin while having a little laugh. Ah ... Never mind, I thought, there are still more important things I have to do now. Then I glanced again at Jayadi, I wanted to give him a code to cancel the plan we had already put together. But, it turned out that when I looked at him, he was also looking at me while smiling cunningly. Of course, I don't know what that smile means.
I kept looking at Jayadi, and he was also looking at me with increasingly sharp eyes, like a wolf. I was surprised when he suddenly raised his right hand as high as his lips, with the index finger he was pointing up, then quickly and so expertly, he said, Jayadi inserted his index finger into his right nostril, then his index finger danced so erotically in his nostrils. Jayadi eavesdrop!
There's one thing I haven't been able to tell you about Jessica. Jessica hates dirty people. And in his view, peeling in public is a total shock.
Jayadi continued to look at me with the glare of his sharp eyes and his grinning lips, while continuing to squint his index finger inside his nostrils. To be honest, for a moment I felt a little threatened and horrified, when I witnessed the inappropriate spectacle being performed by Jayadi. Then I realized: Jayadi is improvising. I began to think quickly, I had to take advantage of this moment as quickly as possible, before Jayadi's nose bleed (because Jayadi scratched his nose with a very rough movement). Then I looked at Jessica, I saw she was busy playing with her cell phone.
“Jess?” I said as I slowly elbowed his left arm. When Jessica looked at me, I asked her, “you brought tissue?“ And he nodded his head. “You give Jayadi one sheet,“ I said, while I turned my gaze towards Jayadi, and on the other hand, Jessica looked towards Jayadi.
“Corn!“ he said disgusted, with a super disgusted look.
“A~ah,“ Jayadi sighed, while continuing to scrape his nostrils. I swear to God I'd love to laugh so hard at Jayadi's silliness. But I had to hold it off because it could annoy others inside the theater.
Jessica turned her body towards me and grabbed my right arm. “Bang Ben? Seating tukeran yuk?“ said memelas. Face panicked.
“Jes. I this if watching the cinema has a habit of often going back and forth to the toilet. So, rather than disturb the other audience in the back when standing, it would be better if I sat on the very end seat near the road, like my current seat,“ I replied, making excuses. Of course I won't give up my seat to Jessica, so my plan and Jayadi's go well.
Jessica looked back at me, “Bang?“ he said it was getting louder, and I immediately shook my head. After that Jessica advanced her body, and looked towards Boris who looked confused by what was really going on. Of course, because he didn't know the plan had changed. “Bang Boris, move here dong? The same seat Bang Jay,“ pinta Jessica to Boris, and at the same time as the victory of myself and Jayadi.
Jayadi got up straight from his seat, “ayo Bang, tukeran!“ he told Boris. “Emang reseh the Korean girl!“ he continued, ketus, and Boris was immediately breeding the request of Jessica and Jayadi.
This is the right bond of friendship, supporting each other, understanding each other, and helping each other. Jayadi and I didn't ask Boris anything when we learned of his desire to sit next to Jessica in the theater, and at least we didn't make any arguments that would make Boris ashamed of his desire. Jayadi and I just need to know what he wants, understand his feelings, and then help him.
Shortly after, the lights inside the theater began to turn off, a sign that the film was about to begin. I started to focus on the big screen in front of me. When the movie started, everyone who sat on the theater bench started to get sedated with the entertaining storyline of the movie we were watching, and when I took a little glance at Lela, I looked up, he also seemed to focus on staring at the big screen with Erwin next to him. When there was a funny scene in the movie, of course I laughed while facing Lela and hoping she would do the same, but it was not, Lela laughed along with Erwin, and she was just like that, face to face. Then I had a glance as Lela was seen explaining something to Erwin, but I could not hear what Lela was talking to Erwin, as she spoke in a whisper. I repeat, whispering. As we know, when someone is whispering to the person next to him, normally the person should bring his mouth closer to the ear of the person he is whispering to, and that's how Lela and Erwin were when I saw him, and you know? If Erwin raised his head slightly, then pushed his cheek towards Lela, then Lela's eyes would be seen kissing Erwin's cheek, and the thought really bothered me, even (excusely) until the movie we watched was finished.

When the film was over, we immediately left the theater, went to the elevator, and went down to the basement of Kedaton Mall. Along the way to the elevator and while in the elevator, Jessica continues to berate Jayadi for his frontal action when snacking in front of Jessica's face, and Boris also supports Jessica, Jessica, he even berate Jayadi. But of course, the caci-maki I mean here is a joke like we always do in the office. Yes, I see Boris and Jesica are back together, although there is still a little awkwardness between them, it's just a little bit. As for Lela and Erwin, they kept talking about the movie we just saw They talked as if we didn't exist and felt the world belonged to just the two of them. Honestly in my heart, I feel sorry to be on this show together. There is indeed a positive thing behind all this, me and Jayadi managed to realize Boris's wishes. But looking at the keakraba (perhaps even a match) between Erwin and Lela, it really hurt my heart, and my heart became even more painful when we got to the basement, then Erwin said goodbye to us to go to dinner with Lela. Just both.
