ENDLESS HALLWAY
CHAPTER 6: THE UNCERTAINTY

Cindy was fully aware of what she had been through all this time. The shadow of Rangga's face that always crossed his mind, making the afternoon quiet. Because Rangga never appeared again, since the last meeting at the bus stop the other day. The man was never seen standing under the bus stop, every afternoon back home from college.

Also this afternoon the loneliness that Cindy felt was too gripping. He expected the man's presence to return. Perhaps she was angry, perhaps she hated me, aaah Cindy stood up with a complaint. So that the beautiful twilight felt for him very gripping lonely. Do not know what the meaning of the quiet wrapped around the recesses of his heart.

What is clear is that Cindy is happy with a man like Rangga, handsome, manly and a man who Cindy had dreamed of. Two years his age has been more than four months, from the beginning he understood what the function of men for his life, Rangga who at once shook his heart. It means that the love that begins to break in his heart grows naturally and is the first seed of love. Aaaaah that quiet now began to be felt squeezed, even stronger because Cindy wanted to meet with Rangga.

What kind of quiet is this? I expected her to be in front of me and make out to each other, but I couldn't express love for her. Wouldn't it be better if he didn't become a victim of reality? Better to be disappointed early than later in the day the disappointment will be more severe experienced. Let him assume I don't want to be frank and innocent. Even if he said I tricked him with the game I was running, I would accept it with sincerity. I wouldn't hate him. He was a man who was a light in the darkness of my life, a dew that opened the buds of my heart to know the true meaning of love.

Frankly I need him very much, need the pleasure of making love that is reasonable and not coercion. My conscience made me love her because there was something I wanted in her. If I had to be honest with you, I was afraid to take you for granted. You'll judge yourself more helpless. And if you know how I feel, when you know my problem, really...! you will truly have great mercy. Disappointments that may have been suppressing your feelings will disappear. Then how is this...? What do I have to do? Thus the unrest that always pounded in Cindy's chest.

For him Rangga really means.

And the next day Cindy went to university. Where Rangga studied there. Cindy could not bear the longing surge that was bubbling in her heart. He himself was confused while standing in front of the university master, what the hell exactly would he want to meet the man? The miss, is it because of passionate love? Ahhh!... Nah! Then what? The girl had not yet gotten a fixed answer on herself. Does that mean Cindy has lost confidence in herself? Well... Ever since the problem was pressing down on her soul, Cindy was like losing confidence in herself. He felt he had been swayed by an uncertain fate.

Then Cindy ventured to ask a young man who had just come out of the literature faculty. It turned out that the young man asked by Cindy was none other than Ucok.

"Do you know Rangga?." Ask Cindy.

"Yes, I'm his best friend." Ucok half probing.

"You'd object if I asked

your willingness to convey, that a friend is looking for her?" Say Cindy with polite words.

"Oooo, no. Wait a minute I will call him" replied Ucok firmly.

Ucok rushed to the library to meet Rangga. Usually the man is most happy to spend his time reading books in the library. It turned out that Ucok's allegations did not miss, the man he was looking for was reading a book. Ucok immediately retracted the book that was being read by Rangga.

"Please stop reading it!," Ucok snapped to Rangga's surprise.

"You don't have the etiquette of politeness as a student of Cok!." Hardik Rangga while glaring his eyes.

He was really angry being treated in a way

thus. Rangga rushed up and was ready to hit Ucok in the face. But Ucok smiled calmly.

"So people can't get angry fast." Ucok said jokingly.

"You're outrageous!." Reply Rangga.

"Prophey bro." Ucok said soft.

"No need to wear bro-broan. What need you now!." Reply Rangga upset.

"Duh ferociously exactly buffalo again bunting." Ucok LEDek.

"Did you say I was a buffalo again bunting?, can I poke your mouth that snout!." Reply Rangga fierce.

"Dulu! so angry, brother angry

so cute." The chatter imitates the effeminate effeminate log of a sissy. Ucok hands wiggle the wood to Rangga's chest. The angry man laughed.

"Damn it!" Gerrutu Rangga.

"There are people looking for you, Rangga. He's waiting in front of the gate." Ucok.

"Who?" Tanya Rangga was curious.

"See for yourself." Reply Short tirade.

"Cewe' what a guy'?" Ask Rangga again.

"The gurgling pot." Ucok with a laugh.

"You don't eat chocolate, I'm serious" said Rangga.

"It turns out that it's true that you once talked to me about a beautiful girl who was exorbitant, she's the one who's looking for you now!" Ucok clearly reminded.

"You're not nervous?. Well I'll see him soon." Reply Rangga.

Rangga rushed to leave, but Ucok held him back.

"Eiiiit!.wait a minute. Your eyes are great at judging a girl. She's so beautiful and graceful." Ucok said honestly.

"Well cat!" Sergey Rangga as he walked away.

"Let's in the sambar geledek if you love him!." Reply Rangga. While Ucok laughs and Rangga's heart is broken.

Rangga's steps accelerated to quickly get to the gate. When she had exited the university master, her eyes caught the body of a girl standing gracefully under the scorching rays of the roasting sun. His jet black hair on the shoulder swept by the wind until it broke loose. How beautiful that girl is.

Does Rangga love that girl very much?

After Rangga's steps approached the girl who had been standing waiting, her heart became riled up.

"The...!" reprimand Cindy soft.

"Yes?" Sahut Rangga stammered.

Their eyes clashed with each other for quite a long time and in each other's hearts rippled with a feeling of favor.

"We haven't seen each other in a long time." Cindy said.

Rangga just nodded while poking at his dry lips. Cindy couldn't do much in front of Rangga. If from home he wanted to say a lot and maybe immediately hugged the man, yet here he could only stand awkwardly without being able to trigger anything brought from home with longing. Under the heat of the sun they both stand. Only after Ucok reprimanded them did the awareness of his awkwardness disappear instantly.

"In modern times, there are still people dating like Maling Kundang, right?" Sindir Ucok joked.

"Hece!, the sissy who started me knocking your mouth just kapok huh?!." Reply Rangga.

Ucok laughed out loud while running his motorbike tight. The sound of the motor exhaust is enough to mute the ears of Rangga and Cindy.

The two looked at each other very well.

"Is it time for you to accompany me for a walk?"

"I'm always willing to take my time to accompany you anywhere." Said Rangga flat.

Cindy's face was radiant. The two men stepped out of the gate. The blazing sun made Cindy's forehead soaked in sweat. Actually Rangga wanted to feel like wiping sweat on the girl's forehead. But there was a sense of awkwardness to do so, because he was afraid of being rejected.

After a short distance from the university, Cindy stopped the taxi. He complies when his hand is pulled by Cindy into the car. In the back seat they sit side by side. The car took them to a beach, where they had been together. Finished paying the taxi fare, they traced the beach.

But this time Rangga did not act as before, while walking he hugged Cindy's densely filled body. Rather lined up with a distance of about twenty centimeters. Only sometimes their skin touches often. And every time their skin touched in their hearts each rippled a feeling of pleasure and happiness.

Cindy invited Rangga to sit away from the crowd. Under a leafy mahogany tree, they sat in shade.

The beach breeze that blows with a little mixture of salt vapor makes the skin so easily oily.

The waves in the sea that never stop licking

the sand is so pleasing to every eye

who sees. Including the two teenagers who were sitting under this mahogany tree.

"You don't hate me, do you, Rangga?" Ask Cindy gently.

"I have never hated anyone, including you." Reply Rangga.

"Thank you Rangga." Cindy said back.

"Cindy..." Call Rangga soft.

The girl turned to look at Rangga's handsome face.

"I don't understand your will. Tell me frankly what is your reason for hiding all your hypocrisy. You wouldn't call me your game doll, would you? Because I want a game that ends well. If this is just a story, don't cut it before it ends perfectly. I know, whether in the world of the stage or even in the arena of real life there are only two

probable. Life or death, succeed or fail. Now I ask for your willingness to reveal what has happened to you. I'm ready to accept the sweetness or the bitterness of reality."

Both of the girl's eyes became warm, a grain of clear tears floating on her petals.

Then a trickle slowly fell onto his cheek.

"I still want to meet you, to be with you always, so I feel hard to say all the problems I have experienced. I'm afraid you're going away from me Rangga." Cindy said faltering.

"You're too selfish Cindy. You only think about self-satisfaction without turning to my feelings that are like being swayed in uncertainty. Are you just going to stifle my mind, while my body you consider a puppet of your game? Ooooooh." Rangga.

Cindy dropped her head on Rangga's chest and sobbed. Rangga did not let the girl cry in his arms.

Her jet black hair was unraveled it was gently brushed lovingly. Although Rangga's heart was hard as steel, he felt moved to hear Cindy's heartbreaking cry. Will Cindy tell the truth?, but she's afraid of losing this man. He nodded without saying only his sobs that broke the silence there.
