ENDLESS HALLWAY
CHAPTER 5: THE GESTURE OF INSTINCT

The rainy season makes flamboyant flowers grow evenly on the branches of trees that shade the campus. Likewise with other flowers that grow in the garden next to the university mother.

Rangga had just left the campus while holding a shabby map. The weather was very sunny. But it is not beautiful for him, because behind everything that is very friendly Rangga turned out to experience strange feelings in his mind, namely about his relationship with Cindy so far has not found certainty.

That's why he's a little annoyed with the girl. She loved Cindy with all her heart. And the irritation seemed to disturb the shadow of affection he brought from the beach the other day. Interrupting the joy of a heart that is being hit by the pleasure of love. Evening is still always disturbing, sleep less soundly eat not good. That's not all. Everything becomes shuffled. Makes him lazy to read and write. Makes him want to get angry, all wrong and all sorts of weird. Only unfortunately there is no place for his escape, to reduce his uneg-unegnya.

Rangga continued to step under the pedestrian bridge, when he saw a stone on the road to be passed, his shoes kicked the pebble to dart far away. Fortunately, it is not about the fruit ice seller who sells in front of the auto and motorcycle parts store.

Even though the pebble did not hit, the ice cold fruit seller had glared at Rangga. Apparently this man returned glares and Rangga was ready to challenge the cold fruit seller. Perhaps this is the only way to vent his uneg-uneg. Rangga's already dark eyes. Presumably the cold fruit seller was shocked to see Rangga's eyes glaring how reworked. Back the cold fruit lowered his face while slicing the papaya. Rangga let out a long breath while continuing his steps.

Then Herman took the city bus majoring in Kota Agung, because there are few needs that will be bought. One typewriter tape and a phiscology book.

But when he arrived at the Way Halim Permai project, he was stunned when he saw a girl walking with a middle-aged man. The girl who walked while being hugged by the middle-aged man was none other than Cindy. Rangga was like being struck by lightning in broad daylight when he witnessed that reality. It was like there was a magnetic vibration that made the girl turn her head towards him. Then stopped for a moment the girl's steps and looked at Rangga with anxiety that was pounding on the chest. Rangga did the same and their eyes clashed against each other for a moment.

"What's Cindy?" Scolds the guy next to Cindy.

"Ah!, there's nothing." Stuttering Cindy's answer.

Then the girl stepped again with a middle-aged man by her side. Rangga was still watching the two people until it vanished among the many people who were busy shopping in the super market. Rangga just continued his steps while looking back, where Cindy and the old half man disappeared among so many people. Unconsciously by Rangga, he hit people who were walking. Obviously the person in Rangga's collision was angry.

"Road don't look ahead! In other eyes!." A woman who is walking while holding her child.

"I put it on Mom's back." Sahut Rangga while grinning the horse.

"Damn you! Let it be snatched !" The woman was nagging all sorts of things but Rangga did not bother anymore. He continued to gawk away while scratching his head that did not itch.

You know now what's hiding behind Cindy's uncertainty to return her love. How much if he sparkles his tongue only as a cover of his disguise. From this moment on I no longer want to be his game puppet. No longer want to be his scapegoat. To hell with all the attraction to her that has dragged me into dating a hilarious charade.

Such is the heart of Rangga full of emotions.

If Cindy was just playing a show, what does it mean to think a lot. It is better for Rangga to avoid before the severity of it will be in torturing him. With a troubled heart the man bought his necessities at a stationery store.

And since then Rangga tried to forget Cindy. But the more he tried

forgetting Cindy, the harder it is for her to do that. The shadow of the girl was always playing in his mind without even bothering. The days he went through were easy to bring depression, it was easy to bring loneliness that felt very difficult to digest.

He knew the symptoms were coming from a girl named Cindy. His heart and feelings have been held back by a flurry of instincts that are difficult to decipher in words. That's one of the words of love. Almost every human being will experience it, and will become a slave of love itself. Man will not be able to oppose his will if the love has begun to bloom and shackle him. This has been proven for Rangga. He has no power to evade, even though he still tries to kill dead his feelings that are flowering in love. Phiskological factors, the feeling of longing affix the love becomes more severe. As long as people still have feelings of longing, it means that humans still have a perfect love.

Rangga admitted, it is difficult to forget Cindy. The girl had produced flowers blooming on her heart that had been expecting the presence of a girl like Cindy. At most when his annoyance came from remembering Cindy walking with the old man, he always kicked a pebble on the road he was going through. 

"Fuckin' ass!."

Like that afternoon Rangga walked towards the bus stop which was plastered with toothpaste ads. His careless steps brought him closer to the bus stop. Suddenly his heart fluttered. Suddenly his eyes darted staring at a figure of a girl who stood gracefully under the shade of the bus stop.

Yep... The graceful God-given girl was Cindy. The girl looked at Rangga with longing and restless eyes. Then the girl lowered her face when she saw Rangga's eyes looking at her cynically. Cindy's chest felt tight to breathe and her attitude became awkward.

Rangga stood by his side without reprimanding. Stay upright like a solid rock.

While Cindy only dared to glance like a child who was scolded by her father. With millions of feelings suppressed, Cindy ventured to reprimand Rangga.

"Just got home from college?" Cindy's voice raspy.

"Well." yeah." Answer Rangga briefly.

"You hate me?" Say Cindy again.

"Well." yeah." Reply Rangga briefly.

Cindy complained long. Rangga glanced at Cindy cynically. "You shouldn't hate me." Cindy said.

"Because you've fooled me." That's the only thing Rangga said.

"I don't mean that to be Rangga." Reply Cindy.

"You're too good at your role. I know, I'm the one who can't give you anything but a broken heart with love. If maybe what you're looking for in your life is any form of luxury, I'll back off regularly. Once again, I'm the one who can't make you happy based on luxury!" Said Rangga.

"Why is this so?..why?" sighed Cindy tormented.

Rangga was stunned finished hearing Cindy's tormented complaint. He himself could not understand why this girl was so distressed. Unable to let go of the obvious torment in his attitude was too shackled by impropriety. So what happened to him? Baby you don't want to be straightforward.

"Rangga. if you want to understand, everything will work out naturally. We live above this world only as doers who play various characters and characters. We are like living a life that does not know what God really wants from destiny. I resigned to HIS. If fate wants me to accept a reality I didn't expect at all, I can't resist." Such is the expression of Cindy's long heart. Although actually his feelings in the twists of pain and Rangga saw the two eyes of the girl covered in tears.

Then the girl stepped away without looking back at Rangga who was still upright alone under the bus stop. How arrogant, how proud to look beautiful face. Thought Rangga was half-cussing. Four eyes Rangga saw as Cindy climbed into the taxi and the taxi drove away. Rangga Gontai steps with a gloomy face leaving the bus stop.

His heart really hurt. However, the love in his chest was still like his breath that had not stopped. When else can he meet the girl and want to reveal his personal problems. If all the background has been revealed clearly, Rangga can only draw conclusions why Cindy is so haughty, like a mountain that can not be shifted.
