I have to say it. Now either.
Bismillahs..
"Julie's. Can I fall in love with you?"
Suddenly, the situation became indescribable. As if everything stopped, only the two of us moved.
I saw Julie startled for a moment, then laughed. He didn't seem to believe my impulsive speech. I admit I was impressed that way
"Handering the Mas. Laper though? Same dong. What if we stop by to eat first? I treat it."
I smile. I thought he must not believe it. But I never gave up. I try to keep giving my best smile. From inside my heart. May he feel this sincerity.
"I'm serious, Julie. I'm falling in love with you. From the first sight at the bakery. I don't know how this feeling came about, all of a sudden he was."
He looked astonished. Maybe he's still processing this condition. It's unusual for people to fall in love at first sight. I doubted it before. But now it happens to me. With him.
"It's no longer working, is it? Which camera is the camera?"
"No, Julie. Seriously am. That's why I decided to stop and help you out."
"What is my crusade, Mas?"
I grabbed his fingers. I don't know where I got this courage. I held it tightly at once gently. I looked into his eyes deeply and warmly.
"Can you also fall in love with me?"
Oh my God, what kind of question is this? Why am I being like this?
Katie passes behind Julie while clearing her throat.
"So he said demen. Udaaah, please. Papa must be okay too, can be arranged."
I smiled wider. Yes, I got support from my sister. Hope this is a good sign.
"Engg.. How is it Mas? I.." he replied while biting his lips.
I frowned.
"Do you have a boyfriend, Jul?"
Katie answered him half yelling, "Belom, brother, he's mah jones!"
I laughed lightly. Thank God, I'm not shooting somebody else's girlfriend. I hope I have a great chance.
"Yes not yet, Mas. But this fast? What makes you like me?"
I let go of this hand, then switched to holding Julie's shoulder.
"You're the first woman who can change my world, Julie. Seeing your smile and your innate nature, makes me feel comfortable and opiate. I'm coming with you this isn't without reason. I always want to be with you. Here, look.."
Kuraih returned Julie's hand and stuck it on my chest. Let him know how horrible I feel..
"I've never felt myself in this lifetime, Julie. Indeed, I often change girlfriends, but I have not found the taste I seek. Love's. Love is like this."
My heartbeat felt strong as if it was about to run out of this chest. Slowly weakening and then regaining order. I felt an incredible sense of comfort, which I had never felt before.
"See?"
Julie nodded.
"May I think about it first, Mom? I'm afraid, easy come easy go. I don't want anyone to be disappointed."
I sighed, trying to stay calm. To be honest, I was a little disappointed but I tried to hide it. Because anyway, I understand what Julie means. I thought the same thing about him.
"It's okay, Jul. I know you must be surprised by my confession. But let me see you after this, okay?"
He nodded and smiled. Seeing that I became excited to pursue his heart.
"Jul, eat the chicken noodles so? I'm laper."
He laughed. Sweet, being a joke to me.

After that, we say goodbye to Katie who keeps teasing Julie.
"Room, Jul. I agree that you are with Keanu. It's handsome, fine.."
I heard Julie then speak in a small voice, maybe she meant to whisper.
"Heh, new people know too. We don't know who he really is. Could he be the bad guy who's a lame one."
I laughed while shaking my head. This guy could be talking about me right in front of my eyes. Although his intentions were whispering, but it sounded quite clear in my super-sensitive ear.
It's natural Julie said that. We met for the first time today, we didn't know each other very well, and I had the courage to express love to her. But I can't deny the presence of this taste. I'm sure this is love, not just a casual feeling of liking.
I drove Julie to the tire patch. We had a discussion about paying his services.
"Already, Jul. Let me just."
"Don't, Mas. Keanu has helped me a lot. I'm not good at it so I owe it to you."
"Not to be in debt. I'm really helping you."
"Bag.."
"Sstt.. I don't accept rejection."
He finally relented. I smiled happily.
Then we went home. Julie got on her bike, while I followed her from behind. I want to make sure nothing happens on the way home.
On arrival at the door of Julie's compound, she stopped. I stopped too, then got out of the car and went to him.
"Why? The bike didn't crash, did it?"
Julie nodded and smiled at me.
"No, my mom. Keanu has followed me quite a bit here. His house was past. I had to go out again because of me. Thank you very much, I helped a lot earlier. Even though we just know," he said while bowing his body towards me.
"A, Jul. Just relax. Really get here? You be careful yeah. I'll go home first."
He nodded and smiled again, very sweet.
When I got to the car door, I remembered something. I walked back to Julie.
"Julie, Saturday tomorrow we go yuk!" take me.
"Well, I have an appointment with Katie, Mom."
"I'm coming back, shall I?"
"What week, Mom? I can do it on Sunday. Where are we meeting?"
"I'll pick it up. What number is your house?"
"D 9."
I racked my brain quickly. Sunday, where good and what to do. Ah, ja. I hope Julie likes my idea.
"I'll pick you up at 9 in the morning, okay?"
He gave a thumbs up sign in agreement.
I can't wait for Sunday. It's gonna be my first date with Julie.
I waved my hand and saw Julie riding her motorcycle into the complex area.
Vinolia Residence's. Block D number 9. Sunday at 9 a.m.
Wait for me, Julie...
