ALDEBY
|20.| Jogging

..."People are clear!"...

...***...

"Lo?! Why are you here?!" Beby's gaze was directed at his body. "Lo whatever I am, huh?! Answer!"

The figure who was beside her right laughed in satisfaction. "Lo thought, what have I done after you see your body now?"

Then, the guy just left. Leaving Beby in tears. His head shook rapidly many times, rejecting what had happened.

"DON'T. NOPE. NOPE. NOT POSSIBLE. NOPE."

"ARGHHHH!!!"

"Aghhhh!!!"

Beby woke up with a gasp of breath. His heart is racing. As if just after doing a marathon run that is very draining.

That dream. That nightmare. How could the dream come back?

Still with a crazy heartbeat, Beby tried to get off the mattress. The girl dragged her steps that were like being hit by a huge rock. So heavy. His hand reached the closet door. Beby opened the drawer of the cupboard with a trembling hand. He took the glass bottle inside, then took out a medicine and swallowed it round and round.

Right after that, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Beby's? You're awake yet?" That's Miko's voice. "Gue's in, huh?"

You idiot! as a Beby to himself. From this second on, he swore to himself to always lock the bedroom door before going to bed.

Beby quickly put the glass bottle back in the drawer, then closed the closet door tightly.

"By? Lo why?"

Beby smiled widely, showing his neatly arranged row of graham teeth. Hoping to eliminate all question marks in Miko's mind. "No. It's okay" he said, shaking his head.

Miko still looked at Beby in surprise. His eyeballs traced Beby's body from toe to head. "Why are you standing in front of that closet?"

Hearing Miko's question, Beby then distanced himself from the closet door. The girl was silent for a moment, giving her brain space to think of the right reason.

"You take the shirt. Take a shower."

Although it still feels strange, but Miko decided to believe it.

"Isn't it still there?" ask Beby. "That's out there."

"Yes-yes. I'll go to college if that's it."

"Bring my car?"

"No. Nebeng and Rama. He lives in this apartment too. You're gonna fuck up, aren't you?"

Beby nodded. "Four ten I'm leaving."

"Yes already. Take good care of yourself. Don't be weird with Aldef!"

"Why take Aldef with you, anyway? It's not clear!"

Miko smiled seductively. "What's unclear? People are very clear!" The man then broke down. "Well. I'll leave first. Hye!"

***

Beby exits his apartment unit at the same time as Aldef.

"Al?" call Beby.

Looking at the girl with the hairstyle in the tail of a horse standing before him, Aldef smiled widely. "Hi, Sky. How's everybody? Aman?"

"Safe." Not really, anyway. Beby threw a smile that bewitched Aldef's sense of sight.

"Lo want a gym?" Aldef asked that because Beby was wearing a sky blue short-sleeved shirt, as well as a subordinate in the form of a blue dongker plain leggings. Not to forget, a small blue towel coiled around his back neck.

"Oh. No," replied Beby. "Gue wants to jog in the park. Need to see that soon."

"Look at my face isn't enough, is it?" Aldef laughed at the end of the sentence.

Meanwhile, Beby clucked softly. "Mede abis lo!" Pause for a moment. "Lo himself, want to gym?"

Aldef wore a plain black short-sleeved shirt, as well as deep grey training pants. A small black towel was perched on his back neck.

"It was, really, yes. But now I want to go jogging, huh."

"Yeeee!!! Tell me you want to follow me."

Aldef chuckles. "Yes, yes" he replied with a confident look.

Beby raised both eyebrows simultaneously. Then, the two of them stepped together towards the elevator to get down to the basement floor.

***

"Kiy! Wait, dong!"

I don't know how many times Aldef yelled at that sentence. Because, Beby is not like a person who is jogging, but a running race!

"Lo, do you want to jog or run, anyway?!" aldef asked shortly after successfully juxtaposing Beby with breathless breath.

Beby laughing. "Lo is terrible! I used to jog, yeah, like that."

"Is-rest first, can't you?"

According to Aldef's wishes, Beby stopped running. The girl took the sky blue towel from her neck, then rubbed the sweat that flooded her facial skin. Beby does that while closing his eyes, breathing while enjoying the cool morning air.

A sight that tickled the stomach welcomed once Beby re-opened his eyes. The girl laughed amusedly at Aldef who was sitting leaning against a tree right to the left of Beby with a pale face.

"That's a shred, huh?" beby asked while crouching before Aldef.

Beby standing. His eyes are moving around. When he found what he was looking for, Beby returned to focus on looking at Aldef. "Gue stay tight, yeah, Al."

Hearing this, Aldef asked, "Where are you going? The sky! Where are you going?!" Unfortunately, Beby had already sauntered away first.

It felt like Aldef stood up and caught up with Beby, but his power was completely drained. His muscles felt helpless. Aldef retreated back to the tree trunk, then closed his eyes.

Soon, a cold sensation on his left cheek made Aldef open his eyes. The man was a little surprised.

"Drink first" said Beby, offering a bottle of cold mineral water that he had bought across the street.

"Thank's," Aldef replied. His hand took over the bottle in Beby's grasp, then gulped the water in it down to the toilet.

"Crazy! Are you thirsty or doyan?" Both of Beby's eyes glared at the sight of the water in Aldef's bottle leaving not a single drop.

"According to you?" cynical Aldef. The man went back to silence after putting an empty bottle in front of him.

Beby took a position to the left of Aldef. He grabbed a small towel wrapped around Aldef's back neck, then rubbed the sweat that flooded the man's temple.

Aldef who saw the action of Beby can only resign. His body was not warting, but his heart was jumping on the trampoline.

"Al," call Beby.

"Hm?" Aldef's eyeballs still don't switch from Beby's pretty face.

"Lo baby, right, same me?"

"Of course!" aldef said without hesitation, making both corners of Beby's lips then swooped upwards. "Gue love you as a friend."

And the next sentence, successfully eliminated Beby's smile. The girl instantly remained silent a thousand languages. Only his hand was still moving rubbing the sweat on Aldef's face.

Aldef grabbed Beby's wrist. The girl's movements stopped. Their eyes dived deeper into each other. As if talking about what cannot be done.

"If one day I love you more than this, right, Sky?" Aldef's voice sounded soft, but very clear in Beby's eardrum.

The girl to Aldef's left just nodded. Not knowing what to respond to a reaction.

Getting a nod from Beby, Aldef smiled. He then took off his hand on Beby's wrist. "Today you have class?"

Beby nodded clumsily. His heart was still shaken by Aldef's question.

"Until what time?" aldef.

"Jam twelve."

"Then it went straight to FS?"

Again, Beby simply nodded in response.

"Actually I really want to go to college with you. I will have class until the afternoon. Then, there is also the same promise. I don't know what time I'll be home."

Beby smiled slightly. His heart rate was much calmer. "It's okay. Can, could be next time. After all, before going to campus I also want to take goods first in the boutique mbak Anggi."

Aldef. "Reverse, yuk!"

"Yeah!"

***

If Beby's eyeballs weren't God's creation, maybe both of them had rolled to the floor.

How not? At a large table in the Anggi boutique, there are so many items that are the result of endorsement.

"Sir, aren't you sane, anyway? This is a lot!" exclaim Beby.

"I know," Anggi replied casually. "But what else? Because of that viral video lo, flood, deh, endors-an."

"Can, you can be picky, Ma'am. Not everything has to be taken."

"Honey dear, dong, Beby."

"Jinjja!" suck Beby is upset. "Work, anyway, work. But, I have to post how many videos if you think this is?"

"Udah, just calm down. I'll take it to FS. I'll help you get it done, deh."

"Beres, hell, sorted out, Ma'am. But what time does it work? It could be tonight."

"Udah, really. No need to but-but. Why go, anyway?"

Beby looked at the manager. "Gue wants, from now on, a maximum of ten endorsements a day."

"Well, why is that?" anggi Protest.

"Yes, you think, Mom! Is my job just suspending? I also have a college assignment!"

"But, Beb ...."

"If you don't want to, I'm looking for a new manager."

Anggi clucked in annoyance. "Yes-yes. But, my price's going up, huh?"

"As far as you!" exclaim Beby. "Right. Very sad if the same money."
