Blind Date's
52. Don't Touch Me !
...52. Couple Clothes...
Although several times Gama said that he could cancel their matchmaking. But this time it sounds different. There is anxiety as well as fear. He did not expect that Gama had a fear of losing him.
Recalling the story of both.
The introduction is relatively short through the application. Continued matchmaking. Then he and Gama decided to accept each other not for love. But both have their own reasons. Until at the end of the worry, attention, longing, it arises by itself.
What love has grown between him and Gama?
He could feel Gama's heartbeat. He also cannot avoid. If the pounding of his heart does not lose to dribble. Demonstrated. The sensation can be felt up to the neck. However, at one time a warm and comfortable feeling wrapped around him as Gama tightened his grip.
“I know you're disappointed, Sas. Might as well be angry at me.”
Non-rigid. Until the water points from the sky awaken them to immediately finish.
He and Gama rise. The man pulled his hand to quickly follow in his footsteps. No one's talking. Only their footsteps kept swaying down the conblock road.
The corner of his lips was pulled upwards. Look at the back of the man. He knows Gama's past is bad. However, he also could not punish Gama for that. Everyone has a past. Have a path of choices that may be different and full of consequences. Ever wrong. Caliph. It could be a forced choice. But still, he cannot judge.
^^^What do you think friendship means?^^^
My friend is a complement. Without complement we are still living a normal life.
^^^ Then what about the couple?^^^
Couples are like clothes. Protect, complement and cover each other.
^^^So can it still be normal to live without a partner?^^^
Lt could. But unfortunately, you were created in pairs, why choose yourself? Friends will come and go with time. But the couple will settle down.
“I want to be your partner.” Steps ceased. The gamma stopped. Turn the heel facing him.
“What did you say?”
“I want to be your partner,” repeat. His breath was half hunting. “Pairs that protect each other, complement and cover.” He looked at Gama with a smile.
“Sas."
He nodded.
Gama's reflexes pulled him into his arms. The water points turned into heavy rain. But for both of them it is a sign of kindness. It was as if the blessing of the sky was instantly gushing forth. The universe is rejoicing.
Gama stared. Removing the raindrops that hit his face. Smiling with happy eyes.
The man smacked his lips. Channeling happiness. Expressing feelings. It's not like it was their first kiss in the apartment. But this kiss was like they had ever done before.
He tried to remember it. Over where? When's? This kiss was like a kiss not too long ago.
Gama pulled his waist. Gather their bodies. While he rubbed the man's back.
Reciprocate each other. Mutually fangle. Revealing that this is the feeling that is enveloping the two. Then it was only realized when the sound of the ship's horn was so echoed.
He and the man looked at each other. Not long to throw each other a smile.
“We go home,” take Gama. Retracting his hand. Walk under the rain.
...***...
Arriving in Amsterdam instead of Gama delivering to the hotel. Instead the man took her to the houseboat.
“All your belongings have been moved. I sent one of the workers there.”
Once he arrived at the houseboat he cleaned himself up. Make a warm drink to reduce the cold that still stings.
A glass of chocomel warm for her. While he made latte coffee for Gama.
The atmosphere of the canal seemed lonely. Even though the rain has stopped. He called mama. Reported its condition. Until Gama emerges from the other room. Rub her wet hair with a towel.
He ended the phone call. Then say, “There are greetings from Mama.”
Gama sat next to him. “Before I came here I said to Mama if I want to follow you.”
“Worthy, Mama knows you are here.”
“Where are you going tonight?” ask Gama. Sipped drink.
All day touring in 2 cities at once, he felt his body tired. When else can I go around Amsterdam. Not necessarily in the near future. Or even this is for the first and last time.
The man took her to the city center. View the artists' attractions at Dam Square. Enter the shopping center. Buy souvenirs. Walk through the Red Light District.
“Kata Dirk, most men must be curious to get in there,” points to buildings that are neatly lined. With red light.
“You are also curious?”
“I said man,” his rebuttal. Not wanting to cover up his curiosity.
Gama folded lips withholding a smile. Then said, “Marketing is natural. Especially here legal. Service providers and visitors alike are protected.”
“Including you ever logged in there?” his insistence.
Gama's expression frowned. Then look at him. “You know what I saw?”
“What's wrong?” Lots of buildings that present live performances in addition to sexy women who only dress minimally thin, pieces of cloth up and down only. They try to seduce the visitors. From behind the open glass and doors. The buildings are spiked by a red majority neon sign that reads stripclub, se*xshow, se*xtoys to se*xmuseum.
He understood that the Red Light District area is a legal prostitution area that is very famous in the world. Which he said existed before the 20th century. But also curious. Actually, there is anything behind the wall that is deliberately decorated with red lights.
“Truly only se*xmuseum?” angled.
“Yes, live se*xshow also ever.” The man chuckles.
Well, that's right what Dirk said.
Gama embraces it, whispering, “But just a look. If you want to practice, can after this.”
He stopped his steps. Shaking your head at Gama. Teeth tightening. Staring ready to rebuke.
Gamma ran first. Avoiding anger. With laughter.
...***...
The last day of the Amsterdam International Antiquarian Book Fair. He, Gama and Dirk were there.
Not many bookstalls attended the exhibition. Only 36 countries participated. And the whole thing is from the European continent.
Antique and ancient books are on display in each booth. Some are even intentionally auctioned.
Satisfied around all the booths they decided to sit in one of the cafes not far from the exhibition.
Dirk and Gama speak Dutch and English. He only scolds occasionally. Sometimes a joking joking tune in. From a distance Elena walked towards them.
Wearing high heels shoes support the body of Elena increasingly high.
“Hai,” greet Elena. “How are you doing A?” ask Elena in Dutch. “Don't expect to see you again,”. Elena kissed Gama's cheek 3 times. Approached him.
While Gama seemed to be smiling thinly, “Very well, thanks,” replied with English. Sasmaya did not misunderstand.
“Hai, Sas,” saya Elena switched to him. Kiss her cheeks 3 times. Sitting next to him. Right on the seats left on their desks.
He replied with a smile.
“I think you're going home today to Indonesia,” Elena said.
“Tomorrow plan,” answer.
“D, tumben come to exhibition like this?” cymbal Elena.
Dirk shrugs at once thins lips, “In company of A and Sasmaya,” kilahnya.
The originally warm atmosphere with laughter turned stiff.
“Kom op ... D, you're my cousin. You prefer A over your own brother,” snorted Elena. His face looked annoyed.
Dirk exhaled a rough breath, “A is already like a brother to me, El. So it's natural that I accompany him now. Tomorrow they return to Indonesia, do not know when else can meet.”
Elena looked sad. “Sas, what are your fellow brothers in Indonesia too? I feel close to you. It's nice to be friends with you. Maybe because I'm comfortable. It could also be because I was comfortable previously relating to Indonesian men.” Elena glanced at Gama who was sitting next to her.
Silent. He just pulled the corner of his lips a little. Although he was a little surprised that Dirk and Elena were still brothers. Why Gama's best friend didn't tell him.
“A can we talk 4 points?” pinta Elena's.
Gama looked at him. He also saw the man. For a second their eyes were clashing. Then he saw Elena.
“Sorry, I can’t. We have a plan after this.”
“We ..?” elena. Sasmaya. Then switch to Gama again.
“Yes. Sasmaya and I,” firmly Gama. Staring at it, “Sasmaya is my future wife ...”
For Elena this is not shocking news. The Dutch woman laughed sneeringly, “Is that so? Well ... since when did you decide to get married?”
“Sorry Elena, I didn't tell you this before. I don't think it matters to you,” he mediated the conversation between Elena and Gama.
The woman sighed. “Okay,” Elena standing. “Sorry if my presence bothers you. Forget our chat yesterday, Sas. Thank you, have been a chatting friend these few days. Nice to meet you.” Then look at Gama, “If getting married has been your decision, I hope it is not a diversion.” Pulling his lips, saying, “happy.” Then pat Dirk on the shoulder. Pass away.
He felt what Elena was going through. The woman is actually still expecting her relationship with Gama back. Also, maybe disappointed with him. However, Gama tightly grasped his hand. Not letting himself look back anymore.
Dirk takes Sasmaya and Gama to Central Station. After the book exhibition. Gama invited him to travel to Paris-France. “Two only. I became your tour guide,” said Gama. Although he initially wanted to invite Dirk as well. But Gama always emphasized that he wanted to go both ways.
Why just the two?
