First Love
Chapters. 18

"Love my chance, Kirei. Make up for the disappointment you feel because of me." Yudha said seriously.

"Again, give me a chance to walk with you." pinta Yudha as she grabs both hands.

I smiled and nodded. It was as if there was satisfaction drawn from Yudha's face.

"But what's the flower, Yudha?" I asked when I saw the bouquet of flowers still held by Yudha.

"Make you."

I smiled and chuckled at Yudha's words.

"I'm not wrong, the flower was bought from my store, you know."

"Keep if the florist can not be loved flowers?"

"Isn't that so? you're not afraid that flower I'm selling?" my God to Yudha.

"I was more scared when I saw that smile fade from your face, Kirei."

Just as Yudha's words made me blush in shame, the tremors in my heart began to return. Staring at Yudha's face from this close distance made my body temperature warm.

We walked down the road that is currently crowded and passed the vehicle. Yudha left her motorbike in front of Mother's flower shop and chose to walk with me.

"Kirei, do you know many types of flowers?"

"Yes, a little."

"The most beautiful flower, what flower?"

"Hem." I rolled my eyeballs remembering the types of flowers in the shop.

"I think all flowers have their own characteristics and beauty, Jud. Flowers are created with their own meaning."

"But I think the most beautiful flower, the flower of Japan."

"Sakura?" I asked while looking at Yudha.

"Not."

"So?"

"You" said Yudha, stopping her steps and turning her body towards me.

"The most beautiful flower is you, Kirei-Chan."

It was like something made my lips continue to curl wide when I heard Yudha's words. Blushed and reddened, my face seemed to know no time, every moment I went through with Yudha made my face flushed.

Yudha grabbed my finger and grasped it tightly. Then she smiled and continued on with my hand.

"As you say, flowers are created with their own beauty" continued Yudha while walking casually. One of his empty hands was placed in his jeans.

"By its own meaning. Like you who carry meaning in my life Kirei-Chan."

I pinched Yudha's waist skin. To cover up my shame and also the grogginess that arises because of the vibrations in my heart.

"Aww, it hurts. You're still that piara crab huh, Kirei?"

I only let go of my laughter when I heard Yudha's words.

"You want some ice cream?" yudha asked while pointing at the ice cream cart that was across the street.

"May." I replied casually

"Just a moment." Yudha let go of his grasp and ran down the road.

I waited for Yudha across the street, as the breeze carried my hair flying in the wind.

Yudha soon returned with two ice cream cones.

"Vanilla, strawberries" he said, handing me my favorite two-flavored ice cream cone.

I don't think Yudha still remembers my favorite taste.

"Yudha, how did you get to be on campus that day?" manya curious.

"That's my college too, Kirei."

"Huh?" I said in surprise, blocking Yudha's steps and looking at her face.

"You went to college there? since when?" many confused.

"Since two years ago" he replied casually

"Kok I don't know?"

"What are you?"

"Ih ... I'm serious Yudha." I pursed my lips, lazy to listen to Yudha's trite talk again.

"Are I joking, huh?"

"I mean if we're a college, why haven't we seen each other all this time?"

Yudha shrugged her shoulders and threw her ass at the bench.

"I don't know either, Kirei. Maybe because our buildings are far apart."

"Technics" Yudha said as she bit her ice cream cone.

"Civil engineering to be exact" he continued.

"Oh.." I sat down, followed Yudha.

Worth it, the Engineering building is at the very end of the campus side, even children majoring in Engineering have their own gates. Although not as big as the main gate, children majoring in Engineering prefer to enter from the back gate.

In addition to no need to rotate far, some lecturers' rooms have also been moved there. Because of this, the Engineering child was like being separated by the main building.

"Kirei." call Yudha to distract me.

"Round the city riding a bicycle like the old school days yuk."

"Well, what?" not yet ready for me to speak, Yudha had already withdrawn my hand.

Approach a bike rental place and rent one bike. I climbed the rear footing, I held onto Yudha's shoulders for a bit of a squeak.

Slowly Yudha paddled her bike slowly, I held firmly on Yudha's shoulder. It's so tense, I haven't done this in a long time.

Moreover, the size of the body is already much different, making me a little palpable to keep pace with the bike.

"So strong is the grip, Kirei? scared huh?"

"I haven't done this in a long time, Yudha. I grimace." I replied as I shook the grip on Yudha's shoulder.

"It's okay. As long as there is me, I will not let you get hurt" Yudha said increasing the speed of his bike.

I wrapped one hand around Yudha's shoulder, I placed my body on the back of Yudha's shoulder. It's annoying, but I'm enjoying this. I enjoyed every second that went by with Yudha.

Slowly the courage came back, I stretched my hand to enjoy the wind that hit my face. Yudha smiled at me who was back to enjoying this situation.

Until Yudha's bicycle tires climbed the mound in the middle of the road, making my stand clear and spontaneously I hugged Yudha's body from behind.

"Huuh." I said softly, my heartbeat began to beat fast.

"Sorry, yeah. I'd like to say hold on, see you're so happy, so forget it."

"Ha ha." I just let go of my laughter.

Funny to remember this, how old but still playing bicycle like a teenager.

"I never thought this would happen again, Kirei" said Yudha, lowering the speed of his bicycle.

"I'm happy to see you laugh again" he continued, turning his gaze towards me.

"Thank you, Yudha." I reply.

"Thank you for letting me enjoy this once more." I said with a smile.

"I will always do whatever makes you happy, Kirei. Be happy when you are with me."

Yudha rode back on this bike with all her strength, passing the road we had lived on five years ago.

I don't understand why, but standing back on the footing of this bike keeps my smile as wide as possible.

Even occasionally my lips screamed, due to the mixed feelings I was enjoying at this moment.

Spending time with you is like coming back to my lost world.

The fragments of my heart never found their partner when they were far from you Yudha, but when they were behind you like this. Just like I'm reassembling the shards of my heart that you lost because of your passing.

I felt Yudha's shirt getting wet from the sweat. Yudha's forehead began to sweat a lot.

Yudha took her breathless breath, tired from circling the city on a bicycle.

Yudha stopped her bike, dodging it with both feet.

"Tired?" manyu tease.

"It looks like I need to exercise more" he said, taking in oxygen quickly.

"Here, replace me who huddled you" I said as I descended the bicycle footing.

"G ... No. gabe. I'm Kirei's man."

"What if you're a man?" I said while holding the bicycle handlebars.

"I'm sure you won't be strong, Kirei. My body isn't as good as it used to be."

"Don't know if it's not tried first, right." I shifted Yudha's body to get away from the bike seat.

As I took control of the bike, I felt Yudha's hand holding both my shoulders.

I sweep the hair that sweeps across my face, I see Yudha who is currently standing behind me.

"Ready?" ask me while looking at my eyes.

"OK." answered Yudha confidently.

I started riding these high BMX bikes. The handlebars I was driving started to sway as I slowly stroked them. Slowly I sat down with all my might, the speed of the bike began to tighten as it went down the street.

"Ahh.." I screamed as hard as I could, the steering I controlled started to drift.

While Yudha just laughed curled, her feet held the bicycle tires so that the speed was not as fast as before.
