Ai, Love Me
Eps 19, Departure to Engkobappe pt.2

Along the way, Johan only daydreams of seeing a tattoo on his left palm. While his friend who was sitting next to him felt a little uncomfortable and was astonished by the strange behavior carried out by Johan. Not even Johan winked at all along the way.

“are you sure Johan is healthy?” jehian whispered to Farel.

“i also gatau, is it possible he missed?” farel whispered to Jehian.

“do you know what happened to Johan?” whispered Nyoman to Emilia.

“I'm not sure I know everything that happened to Johan. Especially with what happened to his papa” whispered Emilia to Nyoman.

Along the way, in fact, the car used by Johan and friends is very unique. In the back seat, there are four seats facing each other front and back and leaving two front seats for the driver and one other passenger.

At that time, Johan was sitting next to Nyoman while Emilia was sitting in the middle between Jehian and Farel. Nyoman really keep the distance sitting with Johan because he was really scared if Johan changed his personality right then and there. In fact, the three friends of Johan are too overprotective to themselves because they feel parn towards the film they always watch.

In the middle of the journey, for the first time Johan grasped his left palm and raised his head. Johan looked at Emilia who was sitting opposite him. Seeing that, his three best friends felt anxious because Johan who immediately raised his head.

Instantly, Johan stared at Nyoman's eyes and gave Nyoman a creep of fear half to death. However, the reason why Johan looked at Nyoman was because Johan felt strange about Nyoman. Johan felt that Nyoman, the friend who was most chatty and with uncontrolled speech was silent during the trip.

Instantly Johan took out the medicine that was in his pocket and gave it to Nyoman. Seeing that, Nyoman was really surprised and confused by what Johan really thought.

“what are you sick?” ask Johan.

“no, why did you even ask that?” ask back Nyoman.

“all the way, you're caged. Though you are always noisy at school even when I sleep at the table” Johan said.

“eh, emm, anu” said Nyoman was really nervous.

“drink this drug if you feel nauseous, the journey is still very long. My hometown is really far from here” said Johan.

“ehh, no. I'm not nauseous. I'm just still not used to it, hehehehe” ucpa Nyoman with her fake laugh.

“kalo so, eat this bread of mine. I know you haven't had breakfast yet. Maybe we will be in the car for a very long time” Johan said while giving his bread to Nyoman.

“ehh, no. I'm not lape-“ said Nyoman stopped. At once Nyoman's stomach sounded rumbling and made Johan more convinced that Nyoman hid her hunger.

Hearing that, Johan immediately opened the package of bread and gave the bread to Nyoman.

“roti is already open, if not eaten, then the bread can be stale and dirty. You have to mop up eat” said Johan gave her bread.

“hehehe, i-iya thanks” said Nyoman received Johan bread.

Instantly Johan took out three more loaves of bread from his small bag and then opened all the packages. Instantly the three loaves of bread he distributed to all his friends including Emilia.

“you all eat, I know you guys are also in a hurry to come with me here and still haven't had time for breakfast. Eat this bread” said Johan gave his bread.

“i-iya thank you” said Emilia, Jehian and Farel received the bread given by Johan.

They ate the bread slowly. An awkward back situation where they only heard the sound of one by one chewing from their jaw bones that were chewing bread. At that time, Johan only looked into their eyes one by one while they were enjoying the bread given by Johan.

“ada what? Why do you see us like that?” ask Farel.

“not, gapapa. I just nyesel aja” said Johan.

“ehh, why?” ask Jehian.

“I only brought four loaves of bread, and I love you all one by one. So I don't get to the bread. Though I laper really” said Johan while holding his stomach rumbling.

“haaaahhh?” they all shouted so surprised.

“kalo you laper, why even give this bread to all of us?” ask Nyoman.

“yahh, no. I feel a little bad for you guys because I invite you to make a pilgrimage but I let you guys sleep” replied Johan.

“that's your alesan?” ask Farel.

“emm, I think, ever since I fainted from the park, you've all been getting away for some reason. Maybe you found another friend. In fact, from earlier we did not talk even though we were in one car and faced each other. I have a topic to discuss so I give you this bread. But even I myself did not get part of the bread” said Johan.

“basic clown head” said Jehian patting jidat.

“maap maap” sahut Johan.

“bottom of clown head” said Nyoman a little laugh.

“dasar stupid clown” said Emilia smiling laughter.

“iya, he is really stupid” said Nyoman laughing.

In the end, they can overcome the awkward situation in the car. They started chatting as usual and began to have normal conversations. One by one, joking jokes and laughter began to wake up in the car. So they can cheer Johan up so Johan can laugh.

“when I and Farel told Nyoman there was a BP teacher, but she was still stubborn. In the end, Nyoman was hit with Poin punishment in the schoolbook” Jehian said with a loose laugh.

“that's because you guys didn't tell me from the beginning, I got the punishment” said Nyoman put on an angry look.

“but still it is not fair, why only Nyoman should be in law” said Emilia with a jolly laugh.

“hahaha, yes” Johan said with a fake laugh.

When Johan let out that fake laugh, everyone immediately thought in their brains that they thought that it was a fake laugh. Especially from the thought of Emilia who was really sensitive to the mind of Johan. Emilia was right to believe that the laughter that came out of Johan's mouth was just a fake laugh so that Johan respected the story of his friends.

“when you do not want to laugh, and also you do not feel that it is funny, but why do you want to laugh?” think Emilia in heart.

“so knowing if he pura pura laughing” think Jehian.

“he must be just pretending to laugh” thought Farel.

“why is he laughing like that? is he just pretending to laugh?” thought Nyoman in heart.

In the end, things got more under control. They were getting closer and in the end they could get as familiar as before. In one of the rest areas, they stopped just to rest. The clock has shown at 2 pm since they traveled for 3 hours.

“I want to eat first, do you guys like to eat?” johan asked, opening the car door.

“no ah, we're already eneg. You just find food outside the same person, we are in the car aja” said Emilia.

“already, I went out first” said Johan moved out of the car and closed the car door.

Johan along with his papa subordinates and then foraging in several places to eat there. On the other hand, Emilia and her friends will not waste the opportunity. Emilia told all her friends why Johan's personality, who was previously an exemplary child, was diligent in exercising, liked to care for himself to be a person who was completely insensitive and did not care about the surrounding environment.

“emm, so so. Is the divorce of papah and mamah Johan was true three months ago?” nyoman asked Emilia.

“iya, I heard it myself from Johan's papah, and after Johan's papah drove us home last night, he died in an accident. And now, I wonder if Johan's body has been buried or not. But, judging from the incident that was so sudden last night, maybe his body has been buried” said Emilia.

“do you know why Papah and mama Johan divorced? Maybe the reason for their divorce really influenced the change in character Johan” asked Farel.

“if that, I still don't know. But for sure, I dare to guarantee that Johan's biological mother is now moving home to a distant place so that Johan can not meet again. Because if it was just a divorce, Johan could have gone home to his biological mother that” said Emilia.

“or don't, mama Johan is dead?” ask Nyoman.

“heh, watch your talk” said Emilia.

“you're right too, mamah Johan must have moved house by now. Maybe out of the country” sahut Jehian.

“he was right, if it was just a divorce, Johan could have gone home to his biological mother. Maybe the real mother Johan moved home to a place far away is the reason why at this time Johan does not go to the house of the birth mother Johan” said Nyoman.

“we all don't know what happened to Johan. For sure we all want Johan to be back as it was 3 months ago anyway” said Emilia.

“Lia's right, we feel that we're really far from Johan. Can be seen from the fake laughter of Johan earlier, I am sure you are thinking about the fake laughter of Johan when it was” said Jehian.

“nahh yes, I also thought that Johan was laughing fake, but there was nothing funny from the jokes” said Farel.

“for sure, we must comfort Johan until Johan can forget his sadness and mental pain.It is not easy to change and improve one's mental” explained Emilia.

Shortly after the talk of Emilia and a friend who was long enough, Johan finally went back into the car. Johan also entered the car with a state of fullness and a little sleepy. In the end, Johan reveals the secret to all his friends.

“heh temen temen, do you want to know the secret?” asked Johan in a slightly whispering voice.

“hah? top-secret? What is tuh?” nyoman, Farel, and Jehian asked so curiously.

“kalo so, lift your legs for a while” said Johan.

“what's better, why even ask to lift your legs first?” ask Emilia.

“already, lift your feet” Johan said.

“hmm, i-iya” say they all.
