Aji's Adventure In The Future #AdventureAji
Lips Locked, Thoughts Speaking

While Mareta and Tasya are in the toilet, Pretty is alone with Aji, the man she has longed for. Every now and then Pretty glances at Aji sitting beside her. Every now and then Pretty's view is directed towards the scenery outside Chevrolet. Pretty then turned on the car radio. A song by Elton John accompanies the atmosphere that is stiff.

Pretty swallowed his saliva. Aji is the same. Every now and then Pretty and Aji look at each other. A gaze that was truly meaningful and as if there was a chatter that seemed from heart to heart; from mind to mind. Both Pretty and Aji's mouths can be locked, but it's their minds that are talking to each other. No wonder one of the two laughed to himself as if there was something to be laughed at. Perhaps it was precisely the chatter between Pretty and Aji's head that was the main reason for both of them laughing.

"Pretty," said Aji who sounded timid.

"Yes." Yeah." That's just Pretty's answer to the equally bashful cat.

"Today you look beautiful." said Aji spontaneously.

Pretty coughing. Inwardly, Pretty is impassive, you also today look cooler than usual. I like you more. Although only in the mind, inexplicably Pretty sure that Aji can read the words Pretty. That's love. It always goes irrational especially as if there is a common thread that unites the hearts and minds of Aji and Pretty. Maybe Aji was thinking the same thing; who both thought Pretty might know the contents of his heart and mind.

Aji quickly approached Pretty closer. Aji's hand touched Pretty's shoulder to pat her shoulder as well as someone helping someone with breathing problems. In Aji's day, that's how it works.

"What do you want, Aji?" pretty asked glaring, yet still timid.

"Let you breathe better" replied Aji swallowing saliva. Aji remembered the incident again. That's when Aji kissed Pretty's lips.

"Thank you" said Pretty who immediately threw away his face. It seems Pretty is thrilled to get the attention of Aji, the man she's long-time crush on. You could say, Aji was Pretty's crush, which Pretty day and night often imagined Aji's face.

The atmosphere was back stiff again. Back silence. Elton John sang "Can You Feel The Love Tonight". Pretty spontaneously sang the same song. With a stammer Aji tried to sing the same song.

...Elton John - Can You Feel The Love Tonight...

...How is it laid to rest?...

...It's enough to make kings and vagabonds...

...Believe the very best...

...It's enough to make kings and vagabonds...

...Believe the very best...

"Oh my God," Pretty talk.

It turns out that Pretty was talking because both of her friends had just returned from the toilet. Mareta grinned and said, "Well, what are you two doing? The face is very close. I'm jealous, right."

Meanwhile, with both ears stuffed with headsets, Tasya sings a song that seems to quip Aji and Pretty, "Like it, love it, love it. 'I cannot see anything else but you. I've been looking for answers to the future since we met."

In the middle of it, Pretty's phone rang. It was Shania who called. Shania grudgingly berated Pretty why so long Pretty and others came. Well, how did Shania and the rest react once Aji appeared again after a long time of disappearance?
