Crysan
The Between of Them
Crysan enjoys her Cheesecake in silence. He chose to sit in his tree house. Ever since Farra the mother called her for lunch, Crysan had not come down. Finally, the mother returned with a piece of cheesecake with a cherry topping on top. Crysan just ate it and she looked back at the blue sky that never changed into a cloudy cloud. Crysan now changed to look at the sketchbook he left lying near his folding mattress in the tree house. All the sketches that he had been making, were just seen by Ridho yesterday. The day Crysan went with Bram and instead went home with Ridho, became the second day for Crysan. That was when Ridho unceremoniously opened Crysan's sketchbook. Look at each sketch from Crysan's hand and smile. Somehow Ridho was able to get into Crysan's room. The guy walks in while Crysan is in the shower and wears his clothes in the bathroom, a habit that this girl often does.
*flashback
With a careless step, Crysan entered the bathroom carrying all of her clean clothes. He has a long bathing habit. When Crysan was done with her ritual, she came out without paying attention to the surroundings. Where Ridho was sitting on the edge of his bed. With a book in his hands. Ridho only smiled lightly once in a while giggling at the sketches made by Crysan. Feeling that something was strange with his room, Crysan immediately looked back. This girl is ready to throw anything close to her towards the person who is casually sitting in her bed.
Seeing the activities being done by Ridho, the girl approached Ridho with bulging eyes. He snatched his sketchbook and closed the book. Moving the sketchbook from Ridho's hand into his arms. Ridho was just gawking at what Crysan was doing. Yes, this guy is a little presumptuous because it touches other people's stuff that is quite private. Crysan sighed for a moment before walking to her study table. Pull up a chair and sit there. Observing Ridho from his place. As for Ridho, just looking at Crysan with a gaze that was as serious as the girl. Crysan clucked in annoyance at Ridho's gaze.
" I'm sorry. Sorry for opening your sketchbook without permission ", said the guy still holding on to his position. Even now one of Ridho's legs has been raised to Crysan's bed.
Crysan seemed to want to interrupt but, undone it because it was useless to interrupt Ridho's speech. This girl chose silence and her eyes ran the other way. Wherever the important thing is not to collide with the eagle's eyes belonging to Ridho. Seeing Crysan who was just silent, Ridho decided to continue his words.
" You're not pretty when you pout ", Crysan looks at the guy again and pouts more. Unable to see Crysan's expression, Ridho then approached the girl.
Ridho crouched down in front of Crysan. Grasping Crysan's hands together forced Crysan to look at the guy. Ridho just smiled showing off that row of white teeth. Crysan tried to take off Ridho's grasp but nil. Even Ridho was clutching it tightly.
" Please brother, huh! ", annoyed Crysan with all Ridho's behavior.
" Okay, I'm home. Do not frown so, it will not be beautiful" said Ridho while pinching the two cheeks Crysan. Crysan smiled thinly, completely thin until Ridho could not see it*.
Flashback off
Back Crysan sighed softly, the vanilla cheesecake that had been delivered by his mother also left one small piece. A glass of white milk delivered with the cake was also left half. But, the two things did not make Crysan forget Ridho's annoying behavior.
***
One week passed, on Saturday, Crysan planned to spend time with a walk in the mall or just hangout with Avni and Nadya. The three have promised to meet at one of the famous shopping centers in the South Jakarta area. Crysan, escorted by her father, chose to come earlier than the others. Arriving at the place he was headed, Crysan was surprised to see Nadya who liked to be late had arrived first. Nadya waved both hands and Crysan immediately approached her friend.
" Beautiful really neng, want to make the same agreement who?", asked Nadya with both eyebrows that she lowered. Intended to tease Crysan, and the girl just laughed softly. Shortly after, Avni arrives with a boy who is no stranger to Crysan. That guy, Eki.
" Sorry late. Just waiting for an invitation, the old thing came ", honestly Avni and got a pinch on the girl's right cheek.
" Udah yuk, just enter ", ask Crysan and immediately embraced by Nadya as well as Avni. Eki just put on a flat face.
Bram doesn't care if they're in a public place now. After Eki cleared his throat, Bram let go of his embrace. Bram immediately took Crysan to where Eki, Avni, and Nadya were. They then continued the show on Saturday by watching a movie. Of course this is the proposal of Avni which is included in the movie lovers. Nadya who saw the two couples walking in front of her then called Firdaus who was often absent. Half an hour before the movie, Firdaus was already present among the five of them. Entering the cinema, Bram did not release Crysan at all and let the girl far from her reach.
" Are you used to hangout like this? ", Bram asked half a whisper to Crysan. The girl just nodded but, a second later she shook her head.
" If hangout with Avni and Nadya anyway often. But if a triple date gini never ", crysan while looking at Bram's face.
If only the one sitting next to me was Brother Ridho instead of Brother Bram. Inner Crysan was far away laughing with her daydream after answering Bram's question. Crysan is now focused on the film chosen by Avni earlier. The London Love Story 2.
Finished with his exhausting activities Crysan offered Avni and Nadya to stop by his house. And what did he see? Ridho was already leisurely, sitting sweetly on the sofa of his living room. In front of Ridho was Farra, Crysan's mother who was asking Ridho some questions. Crysan stepped closer and greeted her mother. His view cannot be separated from Ridho. The girl narrowed her eyes and demanded an answer from Ridho. It's really no problem that Ridho comes to his house. However, this time it becomes a problem because behind Crysan there is Avni, Nadya, Eki, Firdaus, and do not forget Bram.
Why do you feel like fainting? Crysan asked inwardly. It felt like her little body wanted to faint. Sitting next to Ridho, and choosing to lean on the boy's shoulder. Of course Crysan was not aware of what he was doing. Her mother had gone to the kitchen to get some drinks and some snacks. After Farra invited Crysan's friend to sit down, the thirty-year-old woman simply smiled at her daughter's behavior. Ridho also smiled at Crysan's behavior, the guy even acted as if there was no one in front of him.
" Don't bob in brother's arms, Shay. Not ashamed of Bram? ", whispered Ridho and quickly Crysan inched from Ridho's embrace.
This girl only smiled shyly at the five people who were looking at her. Six people plus Ridho. His face frowned again because he saw Ridho was nearby. Ridho was actually a little uncomfortable with Bram's sharp gaze. This guy tried to hold back his sentence which he was about to take out because again and again saw Bram together with Crysan.
The devil cares about my feelings. I love Risya, the same stupid time 'D'. Thought Ridho tried to brush off what had been stuck in his mind also in the heart of this bloody British man.
Day after day had passed, and unwittingly now was Monday. The day that many people hate. Crysan's footsteps were heavy. After helping Miss Melody bring the English assignment book to the teacher's office, Crysan wanted to go straight home. Third friend? Do not ask, now Avni, Nadya, and Firdaus are not very compact with Crysan. Avni is busy making out with Eki. Firdaus was also busy alone with Nadya, PDKT said the two of them as Crysan idly asked that time.
Crysan had bounced back because someone had been carelessly pulling on Crysan's brown backpack. If only there were no sturdy arms that held her back, we can be sure this girl fell backwards. Crysan has now been very memorizing what Ridho often does, especially things like this.
" Kak Ridho detalin this public place has no shame" said Crysan origin without looking back. The person who was holding Crysan was silent and did not react.
" Sister, lelin. Brother Ridh.", Crysan's speech stopped when he saw the person behind this girl was Bram. Not Ridho, and from his position Crysan could see Ridho who was walking towards him.
" When you go home with me? ", Bram asked quickly and looked at Crysan as if judging from top to bottom. Crysan just kept silent and did not answer.
" Yes, sorry long. Go home now?", asked Ridho after being close to Bram as well as Crysan.
" Emh.I went home together... "
