For almost five days we were in Trenggalek. Not once did we pass without going to the beach, either alone with Mas Albi, or at a time like this. With the families.

"You, you wanna play some more water, Nduk?" ask Mas Albi.

I've been wearing a black plisket skirt, in which I've doubled with black leggings as well. Black and white stucco t-shirt, long sleeves to be my top.

"Last day, Mommy. Come on'' Answer me.

I was ready to hit the waves, but Mas Albi held me back.

"From yesterday, you've been playing water, Lo, Nduk... Take a walk this time, yuk?"Bring along.

The hot sun makes me have to cover my head to just look at Mas Albi. He was also squinting his eyes, to invite me to speak.

"Son, ah Mas. Tomorrow, we're home, Lo ...." Refute me.

I told you, the sea is my favorite place. And I don't want to waste the opportunity to play the waves, and blend in with the pounding.

"Layla, Iki kayak won't want a beach maneh ae, no, bosen, to Nduk (Layla, this is like not going to the beach again aja, not bosen, ta Nduk)?" Now Akung is talking. He may have heard our conversation.

"La, yeah...Kungs. Since yesterday, keep playing!" This time Mas Albi got a friend arguing. I'm starting to pout. Already know, if I wouldn't be bored with the sea. But they still forbid me.

"Mugo-mogo, sok duwe soul mate omah and sea cucumber. Ben, iso seneng continue (Hopefully, later can mate, his house near the sea. Let's be happy)." Akung. Sontak made the other family laugh.

"Hahaha, so the fisherman's mother. Wanna?" ask Mas Albi.

My lips monyongin, a sign I don't like their jokes. I love the sea, but I'm not a fisherman either.

"Yes, already. We go for a walk." I finally gave up.

Albi smiled with satisfaction. Huh! that smile, made me can't stand wanting to pinch her two cheeks. If not in the crowd, my hand would have landed on his chubby cheek.

"Alphan! Come on, come on !" Mas Albi Seru. I tilted my face to see the eight-year-old was engrossed in a bucket and his tractor toy, which he had brought from home.

"Don't do it, boy and girl kene (No need, her son is calm here)!" Aunt Sarah replied, The child's mother would probably be calmer if her child did not escape her sight. Instead of being with us, who will not know where to go?

Finally I was alone with Mas Albi, down the beach. I pulled him up to the shore, until our feet were crushed by the small waves from the sea. At first he refused, and was upset that I accidentally splashed his legs and Levis pants, so he was exposed to wet sand. But I finally enjoyed it too.

When I saw it getting comfortable, I began to pull again into the middle of the sea. But, before that happened Mas Albi was already pulling away from there. Grasping my hands tightly, to the middle of the beach. Not anymore, we felt a small wave at our feet.

I don't want to lose, just a little bit of a saggy grip, I immediately pulled it back into the middle of the sea. And finally, I managed to get us half wet.

"Hahaha, gota, right. The figure, do not love saggy. I'm the one, in the opponent!" My cheer

"Yes, Nduk..." His complaint.

Wet, I finally started teasing him again by watering him with sea water. Just take a walk, finally ignored. We're playing in the water and running around on the beach

Moments like this, it feels like they continue to exist in our lives. At this time too, it felt like wanting to stop time, so that there was no finished word in our laughter.

Albi took me to the end of the beach. There are large corals and rocks. Some people who come to be an autfit for photos and selfi.

Alternately, I also photographed it in a style that I thought was good. Mas Albi according to him, when I told him to hold the end of his collar to cover part of his face. He, too, asserted when I told him to face the sea while hiding his two hands in his pocket, then I photographed from behind.

Leaving no chance, I told a visitor to take a photo of the two of us in a lot of style. In fact, when I asked us to face each other, and face each other Mas Albi did not reject it. We are also given the opportunity to our impromptu photographer, to style as if walking and holding hands.

"The results of the photo are good Lo, until addicted to your photos I." Pleased speech.

"Haha, cook, did Mas?" asked Mas Albi, and immediately approached, I followed behind. Come see our photos.

It turns out that there are so many people who snap, candid when it is not strong if you have to look at it, when I accidentally, fix the position of Hem Mas Albi. We laughed, when there was a photo that showed a gaping mouth together, maybe it happened when we were still not ready for the photo.

"One time, gih! This time, how about sitting on a rock, and Masnya, standing behind." The man directed.

I stared at Mas Albi, seeking his approval. And it turns out he's okay, and just be ready to be directed by the person.

Finally, we went up again on a large reef. Stylish according to our photographer's direction. Once he felt good, he started taking pictures of us. Apparently, not just once, there are several other styles as well. I don't know, until me and Mas Albi get tired. This is what people actually like, or just like hobbies.

"Already, Mas. Thanks, for the help, and sorry for the trouble." Mas Albi said, before he asked us to style again.

"Together, Mas. May it last, yes!" Reply while handing the phone to Mas Albi.

Sontak made us both, exchanged looks. Then laugh.

"We, Adek brother, Mas." Mas Albi said, straightening.

"Loh, kirain's dating. Sorry, Lo.." The man was shocked to hear the reality of our relationship. Until gawking, and misbehaviour due to misjudgement.

"Son, nothing, Mas. Relax, aja!"

Albi was still talking to the man. I was still hanging on the rock. Hearing and seeing them exchange information about names, and addresses. I know, it's just a pleasantries. But, I know my Mas that, he would love to meet new people. He said, "The more, the more we know. More and more benefits of silaturahmi later. No, you can choose people to know and get to know."

Mas Albi waved his hand, inviting me to go, alternating other places. I'll agree, and get down. However, nas...

*****Bruuuuk*****

I fell slipping, and immediately fell on the wet ground, even there was still a puddle of water. Albi came straight to me.

"Yes, Nduk...Get your jan og(Your behavior, it's true)!" He said while helping me wake up. He was angry, but he was worried. I just grinned, and immediately stood up. Not to worry about himself.

Some people saw us. Mas Albi told me to sit on a stone that was not too big. Saw me with a bell, and then asked to sit in the place first.

"I'll get the shawl first, you're here. Don't go anywhere!" Her speech. Soon, he went for a small run towards where our family had gathered earlier.

This pain is not felt, when there is he who is always there for me. In fact, you may want to do this silly thing many times. To be able to see his anxious face, and his worries in the heart.

He is, my Qois...

And it'll be like that...
