Beautiful Monster
Departure Vacation

Bahri waited enthusiastically. Who doesn't love to go on vacation with someone they like? Even then he had to meet a thick-browed man who had accused him first. Time has long passed but the feeling of discomfort still imprints the memory. To divert it, Bahri checked the luggage in the trunk while waiting for the others to arrive.

Beside her, Danita sends a message to Ignacia as well as Nesya. Make sure both are not late for the trip today to last longer. He sat next to the things that his girlfriend had checked. His eyes continued to focus on the phone when his friend started typing. Nesya says she'll be up to five minutes. Not long ago Ignacia also retaliated if she almost arrived.

"You're still uncomfortable because there's Rajendra?" Danita asked. He put his phone in a small bag and looked at Bahri. The man looked surprised. "I guessed it. The last time we met Rajendra, you seemed uncomfortable. Have you met before that or anything else? You guys look weird."

Bahri is unlikely to be honest with a pretext if she is not feeling uncomfortable at the moment. He just wanted to make sure everything he prepared was appropriate. No useless items were carried away and important items were left behind. "I'm just thinking about us right now, don't think about anything."

Danita nodded her head in understanding, even though she still felt something was awkward. Somehow his ability to sense the aura and air that someone was releasing seemed to be growing. Or maybe this is called instinct. He rested his body on the back seat of the car, staring at the clear sky.

As promised, his two friends came at about the same time. Ignacia and Rajendra came first and behind him Nesya appeared with Farhan. Ignacia approached Danita without waiting for Rajendra to get out of the taxi. So did Nesya. They forgot they were coming with someone.

Rajendra gave a small smile, following the step of his girl approaching towards the car parked on the side of the road. The three girls there greeted each other with happy faces, letting the men greet without emotion. Rajendra seemed to immediately realize the face that was predicted as Nesya's lover. Apparently Rajendra also seemed to realize something. Several times Ignacia glanced at Rajendra, trying to channel the mind.

"Finally we can meet as well," Danita smiled happily, holding the hands of her two friends with warm hands. His energy is getting perfect. "Look at you guys carrying a lot of stuff. Thank you, everybody. Rajendra, Farhan, thank you."

The so-called name nodded lightly, helping Bahri put the goods into the trunk. Let these girls chat. Next Farhan sat in the back with Rajendra while Ignacia was also Nesya in the middle. Bahri and Danita can't be separated out there.

Danita tells an interesting story as soon as the vehicle she rented together drove. Danita contacted Riris, only to let her know. Apparently they sent messages several times with Danita or Kak Riris who started. From behind, Rajendra touches her lover's shoulder, asking who Riris' sister is mentioned.

"Sister Riris is a fun person, so I'm happy to be able to chat with her a few times" Danita explained.

On the way, these three girls exchanged stories. Despite being in the same workplace, Ignacia and Nesya still have a story to tell. They filled the void together with the radio announcer Bahri was listening to. In the back, Rajendra gets acquainted with his new friend. Farhan who starts by asking if the one beside him is really Rajendra High School.

Ignacia listened to the conversation behind her back even though Nesya was speaking. Farhan does not reveal that he is a former friend of Rajendra's in the past. Rajendra shouldn't know either. As their talks changed over lectures and future plans, Ignacia had better stop listening quietly.

The trip lasts longer because it does not come from a foreign city. About two hours longer. Later they will rest if Bahri is tired. "Want me to get you some candy?" Danita offers her lover. He passed a packet of fruit-flavored candy to those sitting in the back after taking some for him.

In the back, Ignacia opened the candy wrapper in her hand and switched to the phone inside her small bag. There was an email coming in, from someone who wanted to use his services. "What about the Proofreader thing?" Nesya asked. His friend seemed to be seriously reading something on his phone screen.

"Yes, someone asked me to check the script."

"Aren't you supposed to give yourself a day off? What is the need suddenly? If not, we'll enjoy this vacation." Rajendra brought his body closer to the front, giving input to the girl in front of him. His words were correct, Ignacia agreed. "Put down your phone, we'll enjoy the ride."

Today was supposed to be a holiday for Ignacia. He had already put a lid on his social media last night, and no one should have contacted him. Ignacia will reply to this later for further business. This holiday cannot be repeated a second time. "Yes, I'll keep it. See?"

Everyone's attention then diverted to the fact about the traffic jam reported by the radio broadcaster. He said there was an accident on the toll that they were going to pass to get to the overseas city. A truck hit a roadblock and covered part of the road. The big car still could not come to get rid of the truck because the crowded streets were creeping.

It's a pity if they have to get stuck in traffic. If using another road, there is a point that is usually always crowded by vehicles. Especially if there is a long holiday like now. Everyone needs a vacation to a relaxing place like the beach. "We use the other road instead of getting jammed in the toll." Bahri hurriedly drove the car in the other direction. Stay away from toll lips that still feel lonely.

Although it has few obstacles, at least this congestion is not along the highway. Danita kept checking the traffic jam around, soon they would be able to feel the car driving freely again. After about four hours of travel, Bahri wanted a short break. From the rear, Rajendra volunteered to take over the wheel. After they rested for a while, of course.

The car door is opened, the passengers inside go out one by one to stretch themselves. The journey ahead is still about an hour and a half away. Everyone is tired, Bahri does not want to stop before he is really tired. Now his legs and hands are cramping from driving.

Danita buys cold drinks in the resting area for her friends especially Bahri. They had already taken each one a bottle of drink as well as a snack from the trunk. They would not be able to carry anything if they took the goods from there again. Ignacia followed from behind without saying anything. Want to help Danita who is also tired.

"After this you and Rajendra are sitting in front. Let me get behind later." Ignacia nodded at her friend's words with her squatting position to grab some mineral water at the bottom of the cooler. "I'm glad we could go on vacation together. Far from the city and work. Oh yeah, how was your customer?"

Ignacia just remembered that she had customers. Danita precedes going to the cashier while she stands in front of the cooler. Ignacia decided to check the incoming manuscript according to the time specified together with the customer. For a while he won't be working and just take the time for Rajendra as well as his friends.

Before she followed Danita, Ignacia saw her boyfriend calling someone in the back of the car. Other friends were in the minimarket court, sitting around talking without Rajendra. Again the man smiled happily. Who is he talking to? Was mother?

Danita sat next to her lover, giving him a cold drink that he had opened. There Bahri smiled slightly, "I should have done that cool thing to you, Tata. Why the opposite?" The girl beside him just shrugged and opened the drink to herself. Danita only wants to serve Bahri who is exhausted.

Ignacia divided the cold water on the other and took two other bottles for herself with the lover. Unfortunately the call was already about to close when Ignacia arrived. "Who called? Did you miss you?" One of the bottles that Ignacia carried was taken by her lover, she opened the lid even though Ignacia could certainly do it herself.

"My acquaintance" Rajendra answered briefly. The girl was taken to the door of a car she had not yet closed. "Sit down, you must be tired. After this I'll look cool by driving a car." Rajendra deliberately made a joke so that his lover does not feel hurt after the question he answered briefly. Ignacia's facial water can never lie.

The girl smiled faintly, gulping down her cold water without saying anything. She might get tired from constantly seeing her lover act cool. "Aren't you tired? Your legs are long, it must be uncomfortable sitting in the back." Rajendra feels better standing instead of sitting. He said he was tired of sitting.

If Rajendra can see the water on his girlfriend's face, it's different from Ignacia who can't guess which acquaintance contacted Rajendra until she smiles. Is it his male friend? Why is it called an acquaintance? Is there a woman he knows? Why smile and call on the holidays?

There's no way her mother, Rajendra wouldn't call her parents that. Ignacia's gaze was fixed on her lover who crouched down for a while to gulp down the water. Even the look in his eyes still followed the direction of Rajendra's motion which could be standing leaning on the side of the car next to Ignacia. Rajendra looked happy but not entirely happy. "Is there anything that burdens you?"

Her lover turned his head quickly, "Weighing what? We're on vacation, where I might feel burdened." Rajendra slightly bowed, bringing his face closer to Ignacia's face. "I told you I'd spend the best possible time with you, Ignacia. I might feel depressed or something. I'm even happy."

Ignacia's eyes may be wrong. Rajendra's smile showed positive feelings. Ignacia should start forgetting about the caller and just focus on vacation. Once everyone was not exhausted, the journey resumed. Rajendra opens the door for his lover with a sweet smile. His heart was really happy apparently.

Nothing could distract Ignacia from the man sitting next to her. Rajendra refuses when Ignacia offers to read the map. "You'll take it, let me drive and see the map." Besides being handsome and cool, Rajendra also makes Ignacia more and more in love.

"I also don't want you staring at the phone instead of the surrounding scenery. The road is nice with lots of trees and the air is fresh. You just enjoy it like they're in the back." The car window is wide open. Everyone can breathe fresh air outside without fear of pollution. Not many vehicles exist despite the holiday season.

Rajendra also added that Ignacia deserves a vacation and the perfect result after getting two jobs at once. He said Rajendra was proud and wanted to change to serve Ignacia during the holidays. It was only with Rajendra around that Ignacia was happy. Without having to do anything, with Rajendra it feels like a vacation.

Arrive soon. These newcomers can see around the sea water from behind the hills next to the beach. Up ahead, an inn with stunning beach views will take these six friends to relax for three days and two nights. It is only a short time, so it should be enjoyed as much as possible.

"It's not enough to enjoy two days here. We have to get at least two sunsets" Danita said of the change in their stay last Sunday. He was right, Ignacia and Nesya agreed.

The sun was still shining up there, giving Nesya the opportunity to photograph the surrounding landscape with her kemera. In the back, Farhan secretly took some photos and videos of his girl operating his mandatory objects while on vacation. Danita who saw him could only smile a little and glanced at Bahri.

Rajendra managed to get them to the front of the inn safely. They'll drop off things before the car is properly parked. "Ignacia, can you bring everything? If not, just wait for me. I'll help you bring it."

Ignacia settled in her place with her belongings and Rajendra was not due to an offer from her lover just now. Ignacia just wants to go in with Rajendra in order to be just like any other friend. Ignacia can carry her own things. Rajendra's move stops in the middle before he makes it to Ignacia. Someone called his girlfriend again.

"Who would disturb my beloved's holiday?" Ignacia murmuring. With a distance of about three meters, Ignacia could only faintly hear their conversation. "May no one disturb us tomorrow. I desperately need this moment to feel noticed."

Highlight the eyes of Ignacia that had been sparkling now turned softly. Worry enveloped itself. Ignacia hopes no summons requires Rajendra to leave her like in previous years.
