DISTURBING NEIGHBORS
67. Trying Rides

2 Years Later ...

The sound of the pounding shoes clashing against the floor echoed in a long corridor that looked empty, everyone who should be there had entered the Hall at the very end.

"Gosh, I'm late." The man who was still walking casually was now a little running to go to the Hall which was holding a University Student graduation event.

Two security guards working at the front door of the room blocked the man who appeared to be in a hurry to enter the Hall.

"Invitation, sir?" One of the officers asked for an invitation letter that the man should have if he wanted to enter and join the private event, because the number of invitations was limited and should not be followed by people who were not allowed.

The man immediately searched for the invitation he should have brought, but the letter was left in his car.

"If there's no invitation, I'm sorry, you can't come in."

"My invitation letter was in the car, missed. Can I see the show from the front door?"

The two officers nodded firmly.

"I'll pay for it."

"Can't, sir. Please wait outside until the show is over."

The man sighed in frustration, he should not be careless by leaving his invitation letter or even coming at a time that was already too late.

The man finally had to resign waiting in a waiting chair not far from where the graduation event took place.

Waiting is boring. It has been almost an hour the man waited while looking at his cell phone, but there is no sign of the event will be completed. He was almost sleepy. Raising his head while massaging the base of his nose but still urung leave the place.

"Sir Cean?"

Suddenly the man gasped, his body vertical and staring at a girl who was already wearing a pride toga. Neska smiled at him to make him curl similar lips.

"Kok here?" asked Neska while making a smile.

"I'm sorry, I was late here." Cean scratched the back of his head that was not itchy.

"It's okay, brother. What time is it to Singapore? Come straight here, yeah?"

Cean nodded. He did go straight to the Neska campus upon arrival at Changi Airport this morning. Now, Cean's eyes scanned all over the room and it turned out that there were already a lot of people coming out of the Graduation Hall.

"Is the way it's done?" ask Cean to Neska.

"Udah, Brother."

"Well, I don't see if you've received graduation and put on a toga." The man let out a short sigh, feeling disappointed.

Neska smiled and took the initiative to open the toga she still wore on her head.

"Now" said the girl.

"Make what?"

"Sister can't see I'm wearing toga, you're wearing it to me."

Cean chuckles and then obeys his girl's words. He reworned the toga on Neska and stared fixedly at the clumsy eyes. "Congratulations, Princess," he said smilingly.

"Thank you, sweetie."

Cean bit his lips to hear Neska's call, the article just this time Neska called him that. He was a little nervous and misbehaved.

"Yes, go home yuk."

Cean nodded his head and took Neska's fingers to the courtyard where her car was parked.

Neska had said goodbye to her class friends who had both held graduation events.

Neska entered Cean's car after the man opened the door.

"Dis?" Cean called Neska as she was already sitting behind the wheel.

"Yes, Brother?"

"Come, photo!" Cean directs his cell phone camera to photograph the two of them with Neska still wearing her graduation toga. Both were photographed in the car cabin.

Cean sent the photo to his parents.

"The same mom Papa's sorry can't come see you at graduation."

"It's okay, brother. But Aunt Yara and Om Sky are healthy, right?"

"Yes, papa's blood sugar is high so I forbid traveling, fortunately Rion has not yet graduated, if graduation now also surely mama and papa can not come." Cean also put a seatbelt for him and glanced at Neska who was also wearing her seatbelt.

Cars driven by Cean began to run at speed is splitting solid streets in one of the cities in Singapore.

"We're home, aren't we, brother?"

"No, I want to make a promise to you."

Cean nodded, he remembered that he still had a promise that had been too long but he had not been able to keep to his girl.

"Universal studio," Cean said again, answering a question in Neska's head.

***

Cean and Neska spent the day together at Universal Studio, Singapore.

Honestly, for several years living there, Neska had never been to that place. In the beginning she became a student, she did not have time to play around, because she wanted to prove to both Cean parents if she deserved the scholarship. Then in the last years of college, Neska was deliberately not there because she wanted to go to that place with Cean who had promised.

Unexpectedly, Cean did remember that promise. Neska was very happy because it turned out that her man could be trusted and held her words even though Neska had to wait for a moment like this.

Universal Studios Singapore is an amusement park located within Resorts World Sentosa on Sentosa Island.

They come there at the right time where the rides are indeed being opened and very crowded.

"Get it, yuk!" Cean pointed to an extreme vehicle that left Neska stunned for a while. He doesn't have the adrenaline high to try the rides that Cean intended.

Just imagine, once they get there. The arena zone Cean chose was one that challenged bravery. Neska immediately nodded in disapproval.

Battlestar Galatica: Human vs Cyclon Located in the Sci-Fi City Zone, this is one of the favorite rides at Universal Studios. This vehicle is indeed very suitable for people who have great courage. This roller coaster has two paths, namely the red path for humans and the ash path for cyclon. Made in such a way that it can feel as if you are fighting because you have to choose to be on one side with extreme speed.

Just looking at her Neska was already in cold sweat. How could he dare to agree to Cean's invitation.

"Come, baby."

Neska immediately blocked Cean's move by pulling the man's arm. He nodded as a sign of rejection.

"Well, you'll like it."

"I don't dare, Brother." Neska whines like a child but Cean still wants to invite her.

"You take a slow breath, keep exhaling. That's it over and over again, if it's up it must be relaxed."

Neska chooses to trust Cean and she follows the man's desire to ride the ride. Up above, Neska felt bad and wrong, wanted it to feel like she came down again but it would not be possible. Cean gave her encouraging words and Neska finally resigned herself.

Until finally, they actually climbed the ride. Unimagined how Neska screams there. It seems like his heart had already broken before the game started.

"Where? Exciting, right?" ask Cean when they get off.

Neska did not answer. He ran to the nearest toilet and vomited. Cean feels guilty now.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were going to be like this. I think it's gonna be exciting and test our adrenaline."

Neska was just silent, she was not angry, actually she was also enjoying the rides just that maybe her body was overreacting. Neska thought of a way to reply to Cean. So it's not just him who forced Cean to ride an unwanted vehicle. But Cean must feel the same way.

"You're angry, aren't you?"

"Not really."

"Certainly? How to get me."

"I want revenge with my sister" Neska admitted frankly.

Cean giggled, he thought Neska was joking but when the girl pulled her hand to get into one of the Cean haunted house rides instantly turned deathly pale.

"Son, no. We don't have to come here," push Cean keki.

Neska smiled triumphantly. "Aren't you scared?" guess it.

"No. Wherever I'm afraid, it's all phantom lies."

"Oh, if so, come on!"

Cean shook his head as he occasionally tried to brush off Neska's insistent hands inviting her into the spooky ride.

"Darling, don't joke gini. We're riding another ride. It's a ride that's like kora-kora there."

"So!" sahut Neska steady. He laughed in his heart. Cean must feel how he was forced to ride the extreme rides.

They finally entered the haunted house that once entered into it was already greeted with a dim atmosphere.

"Neska, honey, this isn't funny at all."

Neska giggled at the frightened Cean.

"Aren't you afraid of ghosts? It was said here it was just a fake ghost doang," said Neska.

Cean immediately shuddered until finally resigned when entering the scary vehicle.
