DEVANYE. STILL LOVING YOU
Axel part 12's
Axel pov's.
Since I visited her that day, our relationship has grown closer. I used to go home with him, I actually drove him even if only until he got off the bus. And next I can imitate him as he comes down from inside that rectangular iron. It feels good to also knock on the glass of the bus with coins. Hehe...
Tonight I want to take her somewhere, not a romantic place anyway, just this is Gio's recommendation to take her to the night market. Not sure exactly.
Hahh... What is the special night market? A place where many people jostle, want to ride the rides of traditional games. Many street vendors. I have already imagined how things are going there. Hot, sultry, dust. Hah... although I can now be a 'ordinary' person, but imagine jostling like that...Doesn't pity Renata? I just want a romantic dinner. Spending time alone with her without many people interrupting.
But I didn't think when I said I was going to take her there her eyes lit up, she said 'I want to. I want!!' energetically. Like a happy child will be invited to ride the rides. Uh... It is indeed. We will ride the rides if we go there!
Gio patted my shoulder. He sat on the edge of the bed. Calm down and reassure me that the night market isn't as bad as I thought.
"The night market is not a bad place, really! It will even feel romantic when you ride the reanglala. Looking at the clear night sky. See the city from a height." Gio moved his hand in the air, seemingly imagining himself up there. He paints beautiful things with his imagination. "And if you're lucky, you can.pst..pst.." whispered near my ear.
Ah hearing Gio whisper about it, why do I feel like my face is heating up?
"Hehe.... how?" asked with a mischievous smile, he distanced himself from me. His face looks ridiculous with a smile like that!
"Basic brash! Why would you poison my mind with something like that?" I was preparing to hit him, but he was already convoluted and immediately ran away while giggling.
"That's all if you can do it." he shouted he was already at the doorstep. He's taunting me! Just kiss her, she thinks I can't what?!... Basic, Gio The Karatan Singer!!
"We bet if you can't kiss her tonight, I want the Avi!"
What?!!! Why bring Avi? Um... Btw Avi is my Lamborghini Aventador, limited edition, only a few people in this world have. And that's my favorite car. And I call Avi because his name is Aventador, he's a beautiful car in candy red.
'Excession!'
"Hehh... My kiss has nothing to do with Avi!"
"Fearful?" ask Gio in a tone that sounds annoying!
"okay! But if I could kiss him. Destroy your butut bike!" I attacked back.
The look of his face looks dislike, want to protest like it.
"Hows it? Deal?"
He was silent, looking at me with annoyance.
"Hey, I thought deal! Get my car you can sell and buy more than a thousand butut motorcycles like that!" I smiled, mocking. He nodded and left. Whatever will make him release his memory of that woman I will try to eliminate her!
The clock has shown at seven o'clock in the evening. I prepared to leave by borrowing Gio's butut bike. Although he was not willing, but for my struggle in pursuit of love he finally gave his favorite motorcycle for me to borrow tonight. With one extra helmet I borrowed from the security guard.
"Why not buy it yourself?" he protested like that when I was ready to get on his bike. I just grinned and then put on Gio's slightly cracked helmet on his glass. As a result he slammed when the woman asked to break up from him.
Believe it not that this butut bike is the most expensive item he has. Not in terms of material size, but memory! This bike that took him to find his love, which brought them a pair of young people spend a lot of time on a Sunday night with a walk around the city of Jakarta. Which makes Gio always leave when the holidays arrive, even he always steals time away during working hours just to pick up his woman from work and drive her home. And at that time I was very sad, because someone who always accompanied me from childhood was like forgetting me.
Now I know. How does it feel like that. In love? It does make someone change, and do crazy things. I'm example! I humbled myself by being a cafe waitress. Trying to hold on to customers. I was also ordered to clean the toilet! How sad! Unfortunately, all they knew was that Gio was the owner of the cafe where we worked. But it feels worth it when you see her smile and her laugh. Renate!
And in these two weeks, I suddenly learned how to ride a motorcycle so I could have Renata behind me. Wouldn't it be so romantic if she hugged me from behind? Shhhhhhhhhh, mama did not know that I was secretly learning to ride a motorcycle!
"It has. There go! But remember not to speed! You're still not good at using a motorbike, where you don't have a sim anymore, just slow down. if you want to turn don't forget the lamp..." She's chatty like a mother-mom! Lucky mom was going to France to see Brother Daniel, and also grandfather. Mama also misses chubby Nathalie, daughter of brother Daniel. If you know I'm on a motorcycle, it's over. Mama is certainly no less chatty with this man!
"Yes I know! if you want to turn, you have to turn on the signal light!" between me while turning on the motor and leaving, I heard no more grunts, lost disguised by this noisy exhaust.
I'm trying to split the streets. There was no fear even though this was only the first time I rode a motorbike in the crowded streets on a Sunday night. Only STNK I carry in my wallet. What if I get caught on the pill because there's no SIM? Ahh that's business later! What matters is that I'm going with Renata!
Sunday night... Isn't this a date?
Imagining this our first date left me a little out of focus on the streets. As a result some riders honked their horns at me and cursed when they passed me because I accidentally blocked them.
I have to be careful. This is a car, not a car! If I wasn't careful, I could have fallen.
How long lapse in the streets I finally with great difficulty arrived in front of the alley where Renata had been waiting by the roadside. She looks beautiful in tight jeans, as well as a clothes of doodle that drowns her tiny body. A small waist bag slung over his shoulder, he also untied his hair. Two pink flops were pinned over his head, crisscrossing each other. Well-favoured. So beautiful!
"Hi! Have you been waiting a long time?" my many. She smiled sweetly and approached. I gave him the helmet that was hanging from my feet.
"Just come out, really!"
"We're leaving?" my many. Renata nodded, wearing a helmet on his head and trying to lock it under his chin. Seemed trouble.
"Here!" call me. He leaned himself in, brought his head closer to me. I helped him lock it up to be safe.
Deg. Deg.
My heart started again. The most annoying thing when close to him was my erratic heart rhythm, especially with our circumstances close to each other like this, I could clearly see his pink lips. At first glance it feels like wanting him more than he does right now. May I pull him over and do it? Sweet taste of her lips? warm breath?
"Haven't? My back hurts so hard!" his protest.
"Eh, I'm sorry! Sorry!" I took my hand off her.
"You were dreaming. What the hell is it?" ask Renata.
"Nothing!" awkward answer. Why could I think like that? Ah this must be because Gio mentioned about the kiss earlier!
"Let's ride!" my word. Renata sat behind me. He held tightly to the edge of my jacket. I wish he would embrace me.
We started following some vehicles.
I slowly pushed my motor. Not wanting to speed because I was also worried about Renata's safety in the hands of a novice driver like me. I see in the speedometer, our speed only ranges between forty to forty-five.
I don't know what time it was, and I don't know how long I was driving until we got here. I honestly breathed a sigh of relief!
I dropped Renata off at the entrance while I took my bike to the parking lot in the open area nearby. It's hilarious! If usually the divider is given a yellow line, here the dividing line uses plastic rope.
I noticed some of the same people as myself were dropping off their bikes. Mr. Parking in an orange vest came and helped tidy up the bike, then he took something out of his pocket. And I saw another Parking Mas just took another motor out of there and handed it to the owner. The owner issued a banknote, no matter how much, and given to the Parking Mas. Oh, so don't use a regular saperti scan!
This time it's my turn. I let Mr. Parking take over my motorbike, and he took out a cardboard paper that was cut into a rectangle 6×10 cm wide, about, there are numbers on the surface. Eighty-three numbers. One for me and one for the bike. I'm stunned. All this time I really didn't know anything like this.
"Xel, already?" someone patted my shoulder. I woke up, and saw Renata standing beside me.
"Are you having trouble getting parking?"
"No!" my answer.
"Ren, is this safe?" I whispered near Renata's ear. Not sure if this is actually prone to theft or not.
"What?" Renata's confused.
"Park it!" He just looked at me with a confused look. Making me realize, I am a layman with problems like this
"That's.. haha. I asked, because .. I brought my brother's motorcycle!" I laughed at my silly question. I shouldn't have asked such a thing.
"It's okay. If you want someone to steal, the best first will be taken. Oops.. sorry, hehe...." Renata chuckles. His open nature sometimes makes people's hearts pinch, but yes it is! But I like it!
I'm mangosteen.
Yeah, too, anyway! A motorbike like that does anyone want?!
We walked into the night market. I had expected that it would be crowded like this, until we had to jostle with the others. It felt unwilling if Renata was nudged by others, let alone men. As much as possible I keep him behind her.
But other advantages... I kept staring at my hand held tightly by her. Real tight. Warm. Not willing if later our hand link is released. This is the first time we've held on tight like this.
Renata took me to a game, then to another game. We had enough fun tonight. It turned out that the night market wasn't as bad as I thought, except for the many people I didn't like!
We didn't realize we were spending a lot of time here. Almost every game there is. And what embarrassed me in front of Renata was the game of water waves.
Traditional games with wooden seating media are made circular with a large diameter. At first I was afraid that it would endanger Renata's safety, seeing from their safety and the way they did it. Far from my shadow. But seeing his enthusiasm I ended up following Renata as well, riding on that ride to protect him. That's my thinking. Where I thought Renata instead shouted and laughed when I saw my face that was deathly pale.
Using human power, they ran and carried us around, swinging up and down. The young men joined in acrobatics, presenting their abilities that made some people amazed except me. I kept chanting prayers and wanted the game to end. They are not afraid if then they can slam or squashed the chair when we lean to turn down. I was horrified to imagine it myself.
So fast the water waves were spinning, making my head dizzy, my stomach felt turbulent, and finally after the game was over Renata helped me massage the nape of my neck in a dark quiet corner. All the food I had for lunch came out. How humiliating!
"Xi! You're not pa-pa?" ask Renata to worry. I just waved my hand in the air, unable to say anything.
"Wait a minute! I bought you a drink!" Renata left before I could ban him. I can only monitor him from where I bowed. Before long he came with a bottle of mineral water and then opened it for me.
I drank and washed my face with water. Fresh, but my stomach hurt a little because it was too hard to remove the liquid earlier.
He also handed me a packet of tissue. I took some sheets and used them to dry my face.
"Here, use white wood. Your stomach must not be good!" guess it.
"Thank you!" I took the eucalyptus from his hand and then swept the warm liquid on the surface of my skin. It feels so comfortable. It's warm!
Renata chuckles. I looked at him, he must have laughed at me.
"If you're afraid of riding like that why don't you say?!" he's still chuckling.
"I'm not afraid, but after being carried around in circles, I became nauseous!" that's exactly how it is. Understandably, I just got on a ride like this for the first time. And it looks like this will be the last time for me to ride!
