Beautiful Monster
Core Holidays

Ignacia and Rajendra went down with hands. The smile on their faces had just enjoyed the long awaited time. The jacket that Rajendra had worn is also now comfortably worn by Ignacia. Bahri is glad his old friend is not disappointed anymore. Hope everything continues peacefully after that.

Danita and Bahri were waiting in front of the restaurant, they brought fireworks to enliven tonight and did not forget to make photos and videos of memories again. Ignacia and Rajendra were standing by the car, waiting for Nesya who he said was still in the toilet. The couple looked into the eyes and spoke in whispers.

"It looks like they're happy" Danita whispered to Bahri. "I'm afraid they'll fight."

Returning to the inn, Rajendra requests that Ignacia keep her jacket on for now. The night will get colder. "Aren't you cold? Your clothes aren't thick." Rajendra did not answer and just wanted to make sure Ignacia remained warm. No matter who folded his hands in front of his chest when the wind blew.

The first small fireworks were lit. For this one Nesya will just put down her camera and the place she wants and let people play as they please. The concept of such videos sometimes seems more meaningful than the flow has been determined. There will probably be surprises while they play cheerfully.

Bahri lit a fire, let the others take turns channeling coals to each other. Danita captured the first moment of the night with her phone. "I really like this moment." Glad that short-haired girl. The smile could not stop expanding as if it had been given baking powder.

Now it was Ignacia's turn to pull out her phone, asking another friend to gather for a while to capture the moment. They form an oval so that the face as well as the fireworks in the hands can be seen inside the screen. Some photos taken. Only the different positions of the fireworks seemed to be increasingly refined.

Rajendra positioned his hand closer to Ignacia's. The girl glanced at a glance then smiled slightly. "Do we need to make a video too?" Ignacia asked. Seeing the nods of her friends, Ignacia turned her camera settings into record mode. "Later you can spread after moving the fireworks.

This moment will also be captured in the form of video. Once you're done running, making random shapes, and taking pictures, turn the main fireworks on. Rajendra wants to try to light up. They buried the bodies of three fireworks in the ground and lit them one by one. Later they can enjoy the view of the artificial sky without the need to hold it until sore.

"Dejavu," said Ignacia quietly. This time it was more exciting than last time. Ignacia's free hand was suddenly grasped by a hand colder than hers. The arms of the two clinging, long Ignacia so leaned his head also on the tall man who stood beside him. "Aren't you cold? I can go in and get another jacket."

Ignacia could see the little trunks of her lover. Rajendra refuses to let her girl go. It's like saying 'stay here with me, don't go anywhere'. His hand was getting tighter. Rajendra saw his hand held tightly by Ignacia as if to channel warmth. Without a jacket Rajendra already felt much warmer.

"Thank you for taking the time to come, Rajendra. I'm so grateful." Rajendra replies by giving a small gift at the top of his girl's head. With the sky still shining because of their deeds, the lovers who stood in the middle between him another couple looked meaningfully.

Nothing they say. Happiness has been clearly reflected in each other's eyes without needing to be expressed. The strange feeling from morning did not bother Ignacia. Enough with the existence of Rajendra who returned to normal, he already felt better. And on the other hand, Rajendra doesn't need to feel awkward to be in the middle. There is Ignacia who can make it always welcome.

Alongside them are also couples who enjoy time together. Farhan tidied his lover's hair also allowed the location of the glasses to return neat. It was nice to meet in a place filled with fresh air other than at school. Farhan thanked Nesya for making it here.

Bahri also certainly does romantic things with Danita. Her right hand was on the short-haired girl's shoulder, letting her head lean on her as if it wouldn't get tired. Bahri's tiredness after driving for a long time paid off only with Danita's smiling presence. The payoff was far greater than his tiredness earlier.

"I want to take another vacation" whispered Danita.

"Later we plan a vacation together. Oh yeah, do we have to tell the others now?" Danita thought for a moment. Now is indeed a good moment, especially after this blinding fireworks eyes are also deafening will be over. They can speak freely without the need to increase intonation.

As soon as the last fireworks burst in the air, Danita and Bahri appeared in front of the four friends. Both are confused as to what to say, so go straight to the topic only. Danita raised her left hand, revealing the shiny object that was on her sweet day. Fingers are considered appropriate for engagement and wedding rings by many cultures.

"We're engaged" Danita said casually.

Ignacia and Nesya automatically closed their mouths with their hands in shock. Both eyes glazed to make Danita also feel too happy. His third eye glazed over when nothing sad was shown. The men showed their support in the form of congratulations to Bahri for daring to take a more serious step.

Unlike the girls who were still staring as if they were out of words. Everything they shed through eye contact already described everything. "Congratulations to your engagement", "how can you hide this?", "we can't wait to come to your wedding", "we're so happy with this news", and so many other things.

Farhan asked how Bahri could not say this sooner when he said they had been engaged long enough. Bahri said that he wanted to tell when the vacation plans were in advance, but because there was a delay, the two also delayed the news. Bahri just did what Danita wanted. The girl wanted to tell her two friends directly.

Feeling a circular, chat-interrogating sit more precisely this long-time engaged couple. It is more exciting and memorable if you say good news directly. Danita enjoyed the surprised faces of her four friends when she saw the ring embedded in one of her fingers.

Bahri already has a job, they've been together long enough, they've known each other like family. They were also accepted by their families. Danita had no reason to accept Bahri's proposal at that time. It's just that they have not been able to hold a wedding because the plan is not in the near future after the engagement.

"It's not easy to say this so you don't almost cry like you did. I almost cried when I was proposed, too" Danita told her two girlfriends. Let the men chat on different topics. "I'm happy, it's a happy cry. My mother was happy and she cried until I cried too. After my hard time, apparently I still have a chance to have a family."

Ignacia shook her head in a small way to get rid of the memories of Danita's past stories. This girl certainly deserves to meet the good men in the present life. Danita must have been much safer after marrying Bahri. They have the same activities and priorities now.

"You should come to my wedding later" Danita said with water made up face. Where maybe his two friends didn't come to Danita's special day. This girl has helped them to this happy point. It must be nice to come to their wedding one by one.

As promised, Rajendra accompanies Ignacia to do a bit of her side job. They move to places that have less wind. I don't know why the wind is so much stronger than before. No visitor would dare to go out because it's not here to look for the night wind. In a living room-like room near the quiet lobby, Rajendra brings warm chocolate to her lover.

The jacket that Rajendra had given him earlier had also been well kept by the girl beside him. "Sum up while warm. We do a lot of activities outside today." A glass of chocolate was received by Ignacia without a second thought. He took a sip and made his body warm again. "If you want more, I can make another glass" said Rajendra and took his place next to his girlfriend.

Rajendra had no intention of reading what his lover was trying to fix. Seeing a lot of writing there has made him sleepy. There is nothing to talk about, Rajendra's only duty is to accompany Ignacia. Stay for a while until the girl completes one chapter of correction. "There's not much I can fix, so it doesn't take much time" Ignacia said.

Ignacia still wants to correct the next chapter, so Rajendra is welcome to return to the room. Of course the man refused, where possible he could leave this girl alone only with the receptionist who was preparing to go on shift. Rajendra can still survive even longer if he continues to realize there is someone he is with.

Tired of just sitting quietly without chatting, Rajendra picks up the phone from the table. It was cold because it was not used for a long time. Once the data is back on, many notifications and messages come. They are not feeling well, Rajendra replies to messages from several people who contacted him. Focus them on each other's things.

"Ignacia, I'm allowed to pick up the call for a moment." Rajendra got up after seeing a nod from Ignacia. The man went out of the room after saying 'hello' to someone at the end of the call. Whoever it is, Ignacia is also busy so can't stop Rajendra. Maybe it's about college or parents who miss.

A few minutes later, Rajendra returned. Still with the call connected, he gave his phone to the girl. A perplexed feeling enveloped Ignacia for a moment until a voice made her realize. Apparently her mother called. Ignacia mobile phone is deliberately inactive for a quality vacation. Ignacia forgot to tell her parents. The man beside her had nothing else but to sit and pay attention to Ignacia occasionally.

Don't forget they keep drinking the warm chocolate Rajendra makes slowly. It will not taste as good when it is still warm. The writing on Ignacia's laptop is still rolling up. Ignacia chatted while slightly reading the script like a busy person. Ignacia looks cool in Rajendra's eyes.

After a short chat, Rajendra's phone finally came back. The girl apologized for her mother interrupting her by calling at night. Though Rajendra is happy to be a man relied on by his lover's parents. "Aren't you tired, Ignacia? You've read a lot today. Let's just stop for a second and go back to the room."

Rajendra alone does not know if Ignacia likes to read the story to be published. Stories that are sometimes not known by many people or vice versa are a fun job. But for today it feels like enough. Ignacia's eyes were tired of wanting to shut. The warm chocolate is also gone. Working time tonight is enough to get here.

Tomorrow morning Rajendra will call, waking Ignacia up secretly to enjoy her tenth birthday. The smile on Ignacia's nodding face looked cute. Rajendra cupped Ignacia's white face with both hands. He gave a small gift on his forehead before being asked to come in and rest. Ignacia hugged Rajendra instead.

There was something in Ignacia's heart that felt uncomfortable as if a big thing was about to happen. "I feel like I want to explode. Is it because I heard good news from Danita? Or because tomorrow we'll celebrate a big day together? What do you think, Rajendra?" The girl whispered. It must have been exhausted to the point of not being able to use the usual intonation.

"Maybe yes. Another possibility is that you are excited because you managed to install your work well tonight. Sleep well, Ignacia." The warm embrace loosened slowly, leaving a small distance before Ignacia removed her hand from her lover's waist. "Come in, it's late. Be sure to get up when you hear your ringtone."

In the room, Danita and Nesya had already slept well. Ignacia tried not to make much noise so as not to disturb. After cleaning up and changing into more comfortable clothes, Ignacia opened her phone to see what messages people were getting. Most of Ignacia's old friends. Said they wanted to make another reunion sometime.

Then below was a message from my mother and Ignacia's father. Warn that their daughters eat regularly, sleep on time, and do not do dangerous things such as swimming to stay away from safe beach areas. Reading the attention messages from the people still did not calm Ignacia's strange feelings. There was something wrong with her that could not be explained in more detail.

"I think I need to sleep."
