You Who I Miss

Fireworks

The night was getting late and the clock was already showing 12 and a half hours. The cold night air makes me sleepy. But not with the others. Dea, Andi, Kikky, Melyn, Anis, Dodit, and Iqbal enjoy the new year's turn of the night by singing together in front of a campfire. While Dicky sat at the park table, while chatting with my father, Om Rahmad, aunt Yanti, Om Damar, Om Anjas and aunt Tika. While the others are already in sleep.

They sang along with Kikky's guitar.

Oh, my God, I love him

I love him, miss him, want him

Take the love in my heart

Just to him, to him

I'm sleepy now. I want to go in and sleep in my comfortable bed. But, I'm going through a fireworks party that's going to start any minute.

"You're sleepy." asked Iqbal. I'm nodding.

"Yes." I said. Iqbal looked at the clock in his hand.

"Follow me up" said Iqbal.

"Where?." I asked confusedly.

"You too will know, yuk." said Iqbal.

"Om, yes let's take Rissa for a walk" said Iqbal from afar.

"Where?." asked Dad.

"About here is o'm." said Iqbal.

"Don't go far and don't take long" said Dad.

"Everything." said Iqbal.

"Yuk." said Iqbal to me. I just nodded.

And let Iqbal take me somewhere.

Iqbal took me out of the villa. He walked towards the Villa guard post and spoke to the security guard, borrowing his bike.

"Where are we going bal." I said.

"Follow it" said Iqbal.

"Yuk went up" he said.

With hesitation, I climbed onto the blue matic motorbike.

"Handle." he said. I said nothing and hugged Iqbal's waist tight.

"Udah" he said.

"Udah." I said.

"Depart" he said.

I don't know where Iqbal took me. All I know is that I'm a long way from Villa. But Iqbal hasn't pulled the bike off.

Along the way, I kept asking Iqbal. However, Iqbal gave a small laugh and just said, surely you will be happy.

What makes me happy bal!

Iqbal finally stopped the bike. I don't know the name of the place. I didn't ask Iqbal.

"Udah to come." I said confusedly.

"Yes" he said.

I got off the bike and walked a little. From there I could see the luminous houses of the people. So beautiful and so tall.

"Wow." I said.

"How, you're happy." said Iqbal. I looked up and smiled at him.

"Kayak in the movies." I said with a small laugh.

"Yes the drakor that you often watch" said Iqbal.

"Haha."

"Now I look nothing like him, what his name is" Iqbal said, trying to remember something.

"Lee min ho." said Iqbal.

"Haha."

"You don't look like Lee Min Ho" I said.

"The handsome age of kayak gini does not look like him" said Iqbal.

"Hem, yes it's handsome, but you're iqbal." I said.

"Haha."

Suddenly the sound of fireworks shocked me and Iqbal.

"Aw." I shouted.

"Haha."

"Oh my goodness." I said with a small laugh.

"Wow, it's so pretty" I said as I watched the fireworks decorate the sky.

Iqbal and I looked at each other and smiled at each other.

"If it's like in the movies, you know what's next" Iqbal said. I smile.

The heart beats instantly. My blood is like a swish. I closed my eyes as Iqbal slowly moved his face.

And what happens next is like what happens in the movies.

Iqbal!

You make me like a character in drakor. I feel happy doing it with you.

"Happy new year, baby." said Iqbal. I smiled and hugged him.

"Happy new year, Iqbal" I said.

But on the other hand, I also thought of Dicky. I don't know if he's celebrating the new year happily.

***

Iqbal and I went back to Villa, at half-hour one night. Just a minute we're gone. Iqbal also had to keep his promise to my father, not to go outside too long. But, even so the moment of the turn of the year with Iqbal has managed to make me continue to smile, after coming from that place. I find it hard to forget what happened there.

With my hand held by Iqbal. He took me to the back garden, where friends were still taking pictures. And there Dicky joined in.

"Where are you two from." asked Dea. Iqbal and I looked at each other.

"Secret" I said and Iqbal.

"Nights go together, fireworks, wow, ris, y'all" Dea said as she moved her hands together to form a pitted muzzle.

I silently looked at Dea who was mocking me again.

"What the hell yak." I said.

"I told your dad." Dea said.

"O-mmm." said Dea, cut off, because I covered her mouth with my hand.

"Don't." I said.

I didn't realize what I was doing just made all my eyes look at me.

I smiled unwell, letting go of Dea. I caught Iqbal who seemed to be holding back his laughter. I pout at him.

"Haha."

"Ciee, get caught." Dea said.

"Haha."

"Udah yak, don't make the mood rissa ugly." said Iqbal while embracing myself.

"It's really ris." said Iqbal.

Then Iqbal kissed my left cheek, making the eye of the beholder startle, and so did I. I'm shy. I covered my face with both hands. I think my face is red like a tomato.

"Uh, so sweet." said Melyn.

"Ah, want to." said Anis.

"Haha."

"Let's take a photo first" said Melyn.

"Yes come on." said Andi preparing his phone for selfie.

"Eh, where's Dicky" said Dodit.

"Dicky." call Melyn while looking for her figure.

"Nothing, where is he" said Kikky.

"Oh yeah, maybe he's tired, rest" said Iqbal.

Why did Dicky leave, did I make him jealous. I should've kept that attitude, Dicky wouldn't have left. I don't know where Dicky went, I don't know. I want to go find Dicky. But, Iqbal.

"Bal." I said.

"Hem, what?" said Iqbal.

"I'm going to the toilet" I said.

"You want me to go" said Iqbal. I shook my head.

"Yes" said Iqbal. I smiled and left. However, the goal is not to go to the toilet but Dicky.

I'm looking for Dicky in every corner of the Villa. But, I still can't find him. I don't know where Dicky is, he makes me worry like this. How something happened to him. My brain keeps thinking bad, considering Dicky's sick condition. I'm still trying to find Dicky.

As I passed through the swimming pool. I accidentally saw him sitting on a chair beside the pool. It was as if he was thinking of something.

"Dicky." call me. Dicky looked at me.

"You say here, later kesambet loh, why was daydreaming" I said as I walked closer to him.

"No pa-pa, I just want to be alone" Dicky said. I'm sitting next to Dicky.

"What are you doing here?" asked Dicky.

"Find you" I said slowly. Dicky was silent and turned his eyes away.

"I don't think you care about my presence" Dicky said.

"Sorry." I said.

"Why are you sorry" Dicky said.

"I was wrong, I was disappointed" I said. Dicky was silent.

Shortly afterwards, Iqbal's voice called out to me. Maybe Iqbal's looking for me. I've been gone too long.

Suddenly Dicky grabbed my hand and took me to hide behind a wall. Iqbal could not see me.

"Sorry ris, I just want some time to talk to you" Dicky said. I'm silent.

"Yes, not pa-pa" I said slowly. Dicky changed his position to face me while looking at me intensely. My heart is beating fast, maybe Dicky can feel it too.

"Ris." said Dicky.

"What?" I said.

"You like me." said Dicky. I'll shut up for a second. Then I nodded my head giving Dicky an answer.

"Then why should Iqbal be the same" Dicky said. I kept quiet, not knowing what to answer.

"Ris, answer me." said Dicky.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any answers" I said. Dicky was staring at me. Then Dicky stroked my hair and stroked my face.

"You're still keeping it." said Dicky. Dicky meant the blue chicken hairpin I was wearing.

"Yes, because of you" I said. Dicky smile. I smiled at Dicky slowly.

"May I kiss." said Dicky.

Instantly my breath began to feel tight. I swallow saliva a number of times. My blood seemed to whistle and my heart seemed to be coming off.

It's wrong!

I confirmed my standing position while letting go of Dicky's hand that was still on my face.

"I have a boyfriend" I said.

"I know." said Dicky.

"Iqbal is a fight-maker, if he knows, he'll hit you" I said.

"Biarin." said Dicky.

"Dicky." I said begging. Dicky quiet.

Dicky's not getting away from me. She really kissed me. From a fleeting kiss on my lips. Then the next one is where I can't refuse him.

Dicky's enough! Don't make me get caught up in this feeling!
