Your decembers

Chapter 6: The Sudden Rain

Ian, who promised to pick me up at 7, came in time. He was waiting in the apartment lobby when I arrived 2 minutes from 7. It turns out that another charm of the figure of Ian is timely.

Ian who originally told me that he would ride a motorcycle made it not difficult to determine the outfit. Trousers with t-shirts plus cropped knit jackets. Hair and thin make up. Perfect.

Arriving at the hillside restaurant, there were already some who arrived. Since this event wore a dress code, it made it easier for us to search the crowd. The presence of Ian that the other members were waiting for made the chat warmer. Somehow I feel like a small part. Man is invisible and will be glimpsed if Ian is beside me.

Some of them started greeting me and asking basic things like: what about after college? Was fun? This course what do you think? And many more. I who do not really like this crowd was suddenly able to blend in better than usual. Obviously, I tried to cover up the nervousness if I met with Sister Meina.

This makrab event was not just eating together, I never knew if they had prepared some kind of game and show. During this event I was unable to stare at Brother Meina. I'm more silent and talk if anyone invites me to talk. Ian's? Of course, it will be an important part of this event. Her job is not just beside me. Who am I?

While being cool towards the end of the show, Kak Meina paused her singing event by lifting the phone. His face panicked and..

“Why Na?” ask Sister Wira.

“Nyokap I Wir.. go to hospital” he replied softly. Everyone who heard suddenly panicked. And among everyone's panic..

“Yaudah let my brother anter to the hospital now also” it was Ian who replied. He forgets me? Didn't he come with me? They really left the restaurant. The show is not continuing. Again, I was just a small part.

“Sadly so lo ya Lian?” I said to myself.

When the time has shown at 11 pm, the event is completely closed. Of course because the restaurant will be closed soon too. Everyone went home, as did Kak Wira who acted as someone older. Me? Of course alone.

Ian really didn't tell me at all. No incoming notifications from him or anyone. Really feel alone again.

When you want to order an online motorcycle to go home, suddenly a white scoopy motorbike approached me who was standing in the parking lot. The driver opened his helmet and I just stared in shock at his presence. That's Brother Brian.

“Come, I anterin rumah” said. I don't know what magic possessed me, I took the helmet and sat in the back seat.

During the trip I was silent. Close the jacket due to the suddenly cold night weather, then it starts to sound rumbling from the sky. Looks like it's gonna rain soon.

Just finished saying in my heart, or just raining big enough to fall. Brother Brian who was in a hurry to find shelter and me who was busy looking down intended to take shelter behind his body.

Our bike finally stopped to take shelter. I took off the helmet, and so did Brother Brian.

“Sorry yes I did not pick up you use mobil” he said suddenly.

“So brother, no need to apologize either. Not the responsibility of lo”

Then awkward. Only the rain and rumble that increasingly jarring into our back sound. The stronger wind blew making me close the jacket.

“Need the angt-anget?” ask with a smile, do not forget the stairs are stretched a sign offering a hug.

“Mau brother. I miss lo”, my unlucky answer is only spoken in my heart. I just stared blankly at the question.

“Kok onem?” continued.

“Mmm..lo his girlfriend my mentor brother brother, sorry I just tau” replied me while looking down.

“Meina yes?” he said to the wind. Bermonolog. “Lo disappointed yes same me?” tanyakanya. And I could only raise my shoulders without even a single look at it.

“So that's the reason why you avoided me Ann?” only a nod I can give. Brother Brian breathed his heavy breath. I don't know what's on his mind. Because my mind is already raging.

I honestly really want Brian in my life. What I felt for him just flowed. Although only a short meeting and arguably trivial. Hey... since when did falling in love have to go through a complicated process? Everyone can fall in love because of something!

“Sorry yes. I...” his words hang and suddenly just a car speeding fast that stepped on a puddle of water and..

PYARRR

I closed my eyes, not knowing what happened next.

My face is not wet either.

Slowly I opened my eyes and how shocked was the face of Brother Brian who was only one inch away in front of me. He now stands before me. I made sure his back was wet.

I don't know the courage from which I so enjoyed this gaze. Staring at him and saying that I miss him, is it presumptuous?

I forgot my momentary panic until it was crowded. I don't know where the courage is. I don't know.

“I miss you” that sentence I heard. My gaze changed softly. Why would he dare to say that when he already had a lover. “Can we back? Can we go back to how we used to be? I need your existence” what does he say? Not wrong?

I just gulped. Still staring. Since when do we start? Why should I go back? Since that kiss? That kiss should just be a small thing, right? He already has a lover.

“Please...” he continued. When I wanted to open my voice, he continued. “Please lupain if Meina ever existed. You’re something for me. I know it’s*******, I'm a jerk, yes. But can we stay together? Although we've only met for a moment I feel... I feel something different when I’m with you”.

His face looks real. His eyes did not lie when he asked me to stay by his side. To be honest, if I can be reckless, I want to stay with him as well. What is this? The cheating? Hells.

“Gu-gue.. gatau kak must say what” finally I can talk too.

“What do you feel?”

“…”

“Nothing? Really? After our first kiss?"

“Our first kiss?” many ensure.

“Gever kiss lip”

“With that sejago?” ******. Why am I talking gini?! Brother Brian laughed softly.

“Want it?” goda. Again I just kept quiet. He doesn't realize what if his treatment betrays his girlfriend?

“So Kak Meina came home first because her mother entered the hospital. I'm here with Ian. He is rich lupain I so, Anter Kak Meina and not saying goodbye to me at all”

“Gue tau” I turned my head in wonder while grinning my forehead.

“Gue there but from far”

“Ngapain?”

“Liatin lo”

“Ngapain?”

“Kangen Ann, you don't bales my chat and never pick up a phone”

“Gue see lo kak kiss Kak Meina on the campus corridor after my lo chat on the last day ospek”

“Gue don't kiss him. I never kissed her Ann” okay, nice info.

“But lo courting her same right, sister?”

“Maybe” answered while raising his shoulders.

I'm just trying to catch Brian. Might? Is there anyone dating the answer maybe? “Whatever you are-“

“Ann. Please Ann... can we back?”
