Ayu the Conqueror
#September Escape

     The cold night air made Ayu rubbed her palms together. Aprilio wanted to pull the girl's hand and put it in the pocket of her wide, deep jacket. 

"Like the air's getting colder, we'll just go home!" take Aprilio while standing from the chair that since an hour ago, he sat down.

     Ayu is still not satisfied to speak because their agreement has not been reached. Just by putting on a bent face, made Aprilio again sit next to him.

"It's cold in here. We look for food or drinks that are warm and continue the conversation," said Aprilio succumbed to Ayu. He stood up and extended his hand.

'Why the hell, I always couldn't refuse his wish.' Aprilio spoke in his heart.

     Ayu smiled and accepted Aprilio's hand. The two walked hand in hand, sharing warmth.

     They walked outside the housing complex and walked about a kilo to the night hawker center. Very crowded place at night. Visited by culinary lovers. There are many different foods offered there. The average snack of Nusantara, although there are some Western and Middle Eastern food that they offer, but it can be calculated with the fingers.

     Ayu and Aprilio chose chicken noodle snacks and sweet tea. Only with 15,000 money their stomachs can be full and the taste that spoils the tongue. While eating they continued the conversation.

"You have to say that you're rejecting this match. No matter what happens, our match cannot happen." Ayu insisted on his stance not to be betrothed.

"Yes, I know! You talk about it a day more than a hundred times," sewed Aprilio after swallowing the chicken noodles he gave him two spoons of chili.

"I won't keep quiet until you're completely going to reject that match!" say Ayu again.

"Yes ..., yes! I will refuse firmly if I do not want to be betrothed. I'll get you the other way" Aprilio replied with his sneer.

"Yes, great! Gotta be. Uh, wait .... What was that other way?" Ayu did not clearly hear Aprilio's words just now because simultaneously there was a motorbike pressing the horn near the cart.

"What?" Aprilio pretended not to understand.

"Ah, stop. We'll go home when we're done eating the chicken noodles." Ayu also feeds chicken noodles that taste extra spicy.

     When Ayu and Aprilio return home, they meet with January and the new Aquarius gets out of the car. Both of them smiled happily, the radiance of his eyes also shone.

"Where have you been out of these nights?" tanya January as soon as both the young man and the young man stood in front of her.

"Feed Chicken Mie Mas Brewok," replied Aprilio. 

"Good luck first, yeah!" Ayu ran towards the iron gate not far from there.

"You're dating Ayu? Not really elite dating on the side of the road while snacking on chicken noodles." January mocked his sister.

"It's not like I'm dating Ayu and I'm not going over the line. Remove the lipstick on your lips." Replace Aprilio mocked January and immediately ran into their yard.

     Aquarius immediately removes a small amount of lipstick stains on the upper lip in January. "Aprilio's eyes look out too, yeah! Lipstick is not so noticeable."

"Actually, it's just her wits. Where there's a lipstick mark attached." 

"But there really is. Though few and faint," replied Aquarius.

"That's it. Let's go in! Mama's waiting for us." January and Aquarius are being preoccupied with their wedding preparations which will be held next month.

     Leo was thinking about how to get the blessing of a future mother-in-law. He arrived browsing on the internet, but the content was mostly about soap operas about the cruel mother-in-law or daughter-in-law versus in-law.

"What's this? How it's like this. There are no tips on how to melt the heart of a future mother-in-law." Leo monologues while opening articles that are considered interesting to read.

"Did I just ask Mama, huh? Uh, no-no. What if later Mama even angry with Mama Ayu because it does not approve me. The oma? Ah, Oma's way of thinking likes to be stolic. Maybe later I was told to break up with Ayu because I did not get the blessing of her parents." Leo walked back and forth in his room.

"The libras? He's smart to seduce women." Leo also took his cell phone and immediately contacted his best friend.

     Just the first ring, the call was instantly picked up. A rare thing happens, if you contact Libra immediately raised.

[Hello, Leo! Help me!]

"Is there? What the hell is going on with you?" 

[Yesterday night ak–aku ..., bedding September]

[Akh! You are a fool when you do not understand what I mean?]

"I don't understand what's fucking about that?"

[I slept together September. Last night I was drunk and didn't realize I had raped her]

"What! You're crazy! If Ayu finds out she will be very angry!"

[I didn't realize when I did!]

"Then, how did your family react? Not that you're engaged!"

[I haven't said anything to our family]

"You're waiting to be executed by the Kimberleys?"

[The problem is that September is gone, so I have not dared to talk to them. No news from him at all. I came to his house too, they said September was going on vacation. Where maybe in the middle of the exam time he went on vacation. I suspect he ran away.]

"Aren't you asking your friends or other September relatives?"

[Have, and they don't know where September is either]

"Akh, stop! You're making my head hurt even more." Leo decided on the call.

***

     Ayu calls September, but the number is off. His friend did not go to college.

"Where is september? It's hard to contact." Ayu keeps her cell phone back on the nightstand next to her mattress.

     Ayu just closed her eyes. The rectangular and flat object sounded. Lazily Ayu picked it up and shifted the green button.

"Hello," Ayu said without seeing who was contacting her.

[Hello, Ayu. It's me, Libra.]

     Ayu who was lying down immediately got up and sat on her bed. He checked the name that contacted him, Senior Crazy 2.

"What's your brother Libra calling me at night?"

[Did September contact you today?]

"No Brother! I had trouble contacting him. He didn't come to college either."

[Oh, so yes! If he calls you. Call me soon too, yeah!]

"Are you having a problem, especially?"

[Yes, we have a problem. But, right now I can't tell you.]

"What's the problem so serious? Until September can not be contacted like this!"

[I'll tell you everything, later.]

     Ayu and Libra's conversation is over. So, Ayu called Taurus. He felt that the man knew where September was.

     Ayu tried several times to make calls to Taurus's number, but the number was similarly inactive. The feeling of annoyance makes Ayu's sleepiness disappear.

"September, where are you?" Ayu talks to herself and goes back to try to call her best friend's number.
