Falling Into Your Trap
Already Accustomed; Friend.

They look like kids. Lisa knows this is a bit silly, but when they get into a minimarket that is open 24 hours and jump in eagerly to run her small game missions, Lisa feels more than excited. His energy peaked as if asking to be spent that night as well in some excitement that was already loitering in his head. Hoping that Noren could also be in sync with whatever he was trying to do between the two of them and not mess anything up.

“Let's do Rainbow Picnic Challenge!” He exclaimed as he turned around with his heels, facing directly at the shocked Noren.

“Hah?” puzzled the man for quite a while before gnawing in puzzlement. “But we are no longer a picnic?” his words state whatever they are doing now.

Lisa clucking. His index finger he wiggled right in front of Noren's face, where he had to raise his hand slightly higher than his shoulder. Forgetting a cashier who was looking at them with anxiety, Lisa pulled her finger and placed it to bend in a cross of the front chest hand.

“Emang can not we do this challenge without a picnic? Everything can be done with various conditions, Kak” he explained with anxiety.

“The title says it's a picnic?” let's get Noren again. This time it was nice to tease the overzealous Lisa in spite of a speck of confusion she was trying to ignore in a more subtle way. “Lagian, what kind of game is it?”

Lisa, with an unimpressed look present on her face, sighed dramatically. His fingers came back loose only for him to put them on his forehead. Massaging the bone wrapped in soft skin there, making gestures how he did not get out of thought with plain questions from Noren.

“Basic parents” Lisa clucked. “This, tuh, kayak we buy snacks, but with rainbow colors that. From red, yellow, green, and so on until the seventh color of the rainbow” he explained by moving his hand which he was unaware of. Noren is watching dearly.

“Oh, so? Continues?” ask with full attention.

“Ya, later I will same you choose snacks starting from red first. The top one. But no one can know each other. We'll find him to choose his masterpiece. Anyway, do not let me know what you buy and vice versa”, he said with the spirit that came back.

“But not directly up to seven. So, at each stop we will start one by one color. One color one minimarket stop!” His eyes sparkled as a childish smile spread. “Terus later on the way home, we will be together. How's it? Do you understand?”

Noren nodded. Although Lisa sounds childish now, but she doesn't feel that it's a bad idea. Having fun with Lisa instead of getting on and off the bus at each stop may be a less than pleasant idea for both of them and just getting the end result of tiredness and sore lips due to the chatter-riddenthe fear that might happen.

So, with a new idea from Nalisa, she also strangely felt very like.

“Okay, I get it. So, now we're gonna get red, right?”

“Iya!”

Lisa's cry made her chuckle. Raising both shoulders, he prepared to carry out his mission. Eyes wandering. Just as she was walking two steps forward, Lisa had already pulled her jacket firmly, almost making it topple back.

“Why?” Rather panicked, he asked. His face was already indicating worry.

But what she saw before her widened eyes was Lisa holding one of her hands that was not grasping the part of her jacket. One of the eyebrows in the up and down in a gesture that Noren was trying to understand what it was.

“What?” Somewhat clueless, her head suggested a strange thing about whether Lisa asked her to hold the woman. But, is that true? His face was beaming strangely.

As Noren reached out his hand to put it over Lisa's hand, the woman snorted and briskly brushed him off. Her lips fell down in a strange frown before the woman retreated backwards a little.

“Uang” said quickly. Noren frowning.

“Ih, I need money. I forgot to bring wallet” There was a strange ringing shame from Lisa, but the woman tried to hide it. Noren laughed loosely, giggling his gel that was held back because Lisa had glared death at him, he immediately took out three hundred thousand dollars from his wallet.

“Bany much?!” With round eyes, Lisa complained.

“Nothing, make grip” he said casually. Lisa screeched, wanting to comment on Noren's arrogance that didn't even cross Noren's head at all.

“No, no” Lisa refused. The woman returned one hundred and fifty and showed half of the money that Noren had given. He thought hard to only carry a hundred as a handle, but he chose to keep watch with more money. After all, seven snacks will not spend more than a hundred thousand, there may even be a change from the money.

“Gue just needs this. Later until my house paid, there was no rejection” Talking quickly, he patted several times the hand of Noren who had grasped the money he returned. “Udah, no need to say weird. Come on, now go, huss, huss”

Noren shook his head with a wide grin as Lisa pushed him, driving him away like a cat on the street crossing to immediately cover to safety.

“OK, okay” Noren relented, raising both hands before at last his feet stepped up to look for a red snack. There was nothing difficult about it, as every eye looked, he found the color everywhere.

With the food rack only limited to his chest, Noren could notice Lisa walking quickly towards the chips and drinks section. There was a big smile on the woman's face. It feels like they are doing a unique and fun dating game. Secretly, Noren glanced at the money that was in his grasp. The grin was present like a fool.

Calm down, heavy breathing signifies his footsteps that began to run the mission of Lisa. Try her best not to look for her as hard as she can. He knew Lisa's scream and the threatening expression she had not peeked at was what Noren got when he got caught.

...……....

They laugh and tease each other about the snacks they get. Traveling by bus, getting on and off stops, looking for a wide variety of nearby minimarkets feels like nothing else in the world other than the two of them. At one time Lisa complained about how Noren was next to her and got the color with the same brand of snack as Lisa, it made the woman threaten and hit Noren to find other places and brands with the same color to get.

Noren who is basically very fond of flirting, always tries his best to get attention, and more so Lisa's adorable scolding with bulging cheeks as the woman hid her head again under the hoodie drove Noren crazy inside. So, without being prevented, Lisa will pinch her hand and pull it over because several times trying to pinch her cheek and pull the hoodie back.

“Dek, do not use it, I am not strong if you see gemesin so”

That was what Noren delivered as he walked towards the cashier and was in front of Lisa with a contrived move longer than he should have been to step in.

“Gue has been jubilant from birth. Skip, do not like the same fight lo, I can ride blood for a long time, yes, Brother!”

And that was what Lisa had spoken to Noren in a monotonous tone. He gave a safer distance from where Noren was, even allowing others to take his queue spot. He grumbled about how Noren was showing blatantly what brand of snack was in his hands. The man really didn't run their game in earnest and Lisa had already imagined how he would lecture Noren about it.

It was the last stop in the search for the color of the final snack when it rained. Start with a drizzle that greets before finally the circle becomes bigger and bigger again. Falling like a circle of attacking pebbles. The night is getting colder and the rain is not helping things get warm.

Lisa and Noren run in haste to a minimarket that is fortunately closer than the one before and before. Their breaths gasped for breath as they managed to take a silly look before laughing out loud. Lisa snorted at the water droplets falling from the aqueduct platform above the building right in front of her face. His jacket he moaned before inviting Noren to immediately go inside.

Fortunately, their clothes are not wet overall and still make them comfortable with the clothes they wear.

“Come, one more” Lisa spoke softly, her breathing was softly stifled. It should have been the part where Lisa was too tired with their activities, but even when Noren was looking on the woman's face whether the fatigue stroke was mapped out clearly, it wasn't even noticeable at all. His face was still cheerful, still excited and full of energy.

“You're not cold? Want to go home?” he bargained with worry. Although Noren couldn't see that tiredness surat, but it couldn't be denied how his anxiety started to skyrocket inside his chest He was in fashion to protect Lisa.

“Ngak, kok! I, tuh, stronger and resilient” he explained in a trivial voice. Noren raised both eyebrows, busy with fondness on his face because of the response he had ascertained would be so. “I proved that you are still able to until now. Rain mah nothing for me” he said with a funny dance movement. Her lips were pursed funny and Noren could not help but feel amused in the sense of liking.

“Okay if that's so. Now what color last”

“Mejikuhibini.. Purple!” fun. The woman pushed the door of the minimarket with unnecessary force, taking off quickly until Noren was a little too late as she held back the door from hitting her face all of a sudden. Shaking, Noren tailed from behind immediately.

It does not take long to get a snack with a suitable color. In an instant, their shopping bag was full of seven snacks they had planned from the start. They refuse to wear plastic because Lisa grumbles it will look because it is transparent and will not be a surprise excitement later.

“Still raining” Noren makes a sound when they are outside the minimarket.

“No way if we go home by bus. You see, we have to get off at two stops from this line to get to your house. If you wait to subside is also impossible because later kemaleman. Sinar will be worried and I am also worried because tomorrow you will enter work. I don't want you to be sick” Noren said as he turned to the woman.

Lisa rolled her eyes lazily before her hands floated up to wave in front of Noren's face. It was as if he was underestimating whatever Noren was saying to him seriously.

“Wait here briefly” Lisa said quickly without waiting for a response from Noren. The woman immediately went back into the minimarket. The curious Noren, tried to follow, but when Lisa glared at him and directed her hand to keep Noren quiet on the spot made the man unwillingly obey with instructions.

Of course it wasn't long when Lisa came out and showed her the disposable plastic raincoat she bought. Both Noren's eyebrows raised in many questions.

“Gue again want to play rain. If you want to come with me, dipake, if not let me alone aja”

It was voiced in a tone without debate. Lisa had already chosen and she was with a smile and a wide mutter that she showed as soon as possible wearing a duck-yellow raincoat. Being given to Noren who is now in the palm of his hand is a funny pink color. Noren knows, Lisa did it on purpose.

“Lisa, you'll be sick. No need” He warned. His hand pulled on Lisa's arm that was getting ready. But the woman's reflexes were better than what she expected.

“If you just want to say hello to me, chase and stop me, brother! I challenge lo!”

He cried when the woman jumped down the rain that was still falling with a wiggle. The wind does not blow too fast, if you can say, the rain is still safe to move under the natural water splash.

Wearing a cute pink raincoat that makes her cluck, not caring much more than trying to pull Lisa to a safer place makes her want to not wear the plastic right away.

“Catch me first, Brother. Wlee!!”

The woman scoffed, her tongue came out funny and her hands lay on her right and left. Just like a kid. Noren refrains from being too in love, but all he can do now is the gymnastics that tore the faces present, he said, and his body that had full energy to run immediately met the challenge given by his heart.

Be him, clad in a pink plastic suit, chasing a woman in a duck yellow plastic suit who is now challenging him harder than ever. The woman had even run up to the brightly lit garden lights, making her look like a beautiful glory from the radiance of light and falling raindrops. If it could be described, Noren wanted to cry in real happiness and beauty that was caught in both of his eyes.

And with that, he was already very confident in the decision he would take today.

...…....

“Lo know not, anyway, Brother? If the doll I give you the name Ola and has become my boxing samsak as long as I sprain and emotion will be something. Same thing lo”

“Loh why is that?”

They, still in the rain, sat in one of the chairs they found randomly when exhausted in their adult-like romp. Under the still intact rain, they found comfort in talking to each other.

“Yaiyalah, it's Ola's use all this time. You're the one who often makes me emotional tuh, lo, Kak” he sneered. His feet that were not treading on the cement blocks that had been grappled with moss moved forward and backward to kick the air.

“Don't do that, dong. That's our son. Why don't you treat him like a good old man? Very bad, already KDRT” Noren shook his head. He leaned on the shoulder of the chair, participating in the conversation that was suddenly thrown.

“Dih, what the hell is our son. Please don't be too shy, yeah. Missing the imagination of heights, kak” Omelnya. His nose was comically conical in Noren's statement.

“And you know not the abbreviation of Ola what?”

“Eh? Any extension?” Noren's confused face made Lisa laugh.The woman nodded cheerfully, even looking almost too strong.

“There dong” his voice is full of joy, “Ola aka Crazy, aka Kak Noren Crazy. That stands for” Excited quickly, proud as if he managed to win a championship award.

“Such ugly his name. Bad you, dek” there is no indication that Noren is sorry, he is just happy with the openness Lisa conveyed to him. Anyway, “But it's okay, deh. You see, there's my name in it even though it's next to each other the same ugly word. The important thing is that I stay with you, dek”

“Dih? Really pede? People so samsak boxing, too?”

“But you're still evil with our son. Look out, I'll kidnap our baby again so I treat better than Mama” god fast. Lisa glared, pinching her side with a slash.

“Superficial temptation, lo, Sis. mending lo diem”

“Yaudah this diem”

Noren according. Love how Lisa grumbled under her breath and see how she tried to calm herself down and not throw her with another brutal punch or pinch.

They remained silent in the rain and the wind that came back. Noren sighed softly, his eyes closed to enjoy the moment that would be a memory he always kept, next to other memories of Lisa that would be filled more later on.

The comfort they had for Noren was trying to neutralize his heart. His head was already noisy here and there to touch him immediately doing just that. So, with a fist that he tightened on his side, he stood up. Positioning himself in one straight look at Nalisa.

“Ngapain, lo?” a curious tone ran through his ears.

Noren can't stall any longer. This was the time, this was what he had to do and he made sure it would run smoothly. He had prepared for this, he was sure of whatever he was ready to say.

“Lisa, horrified well, okay?”

Neutralizing his breath again, he smiled steadily. Lisa's glowing gaze was curious and attentive to her making her smile gently.

“Lisa, I'm serious. I am so happy today. I love you so much. I've fallen too deep with you”

One breath he took again before the word finally came out of his lips .

“Nalisa, Let's Get Married”.

Lisa blinked, her lips that were opened in shock slowly clenching. Noren's heartbeats are crazy in his chest.

It was a very long response before Lisa finally smiled funnyly. His laughter echoed beautifully. The woman looked even more amused than touched by what Noren had revealed.

So, he jumped to his feet to align himself with Noren. He stood a step ahead of the man.

“Sorry, not used”

His laughter spread again like a rainbow after the rain, like every colour on the hawker they buy and will trade in the game of ignorance against each other. Unaware of how the collapse of the heart that has just been catapulted in full throes is very dear.

“Gue has said lo temen, Brother. I realized tonight, totally sober. Lo exclaim if you become temen. We're just starting with the wrong footstep”. There was a genuine smile spreading.

Lisa stood in front of Noren. His outstretched hand precisely filled the distance that was between him and the man in front of him.

“Let's repeat from the beginning” Continue with a sweet smile that spreads, perfectly matching his face that does not look tired in a drizzling midnight.

“Gue Nalisa Rebulan Cakrawijaya, age 24 years old. People say, I'm stubborn, but my other words, I just have my own way of acting”

Lisa explained in a somewhat clumsy manner, but she ignored the embarrassment spreading on her cute face.

“Come friends, Brother. We're both. Friends”

Under the raindrops that were pounding with slowly swarming circles became bigger and flocked from before, touching the head of the plastic suit they were wearing-, ' he said,

There's something Lisa doesn't know is waking up inside Noren.

Noren swore, things would not be the same from today.

To hell with friends, Nalisa will be hers more than that.

She swore.
