Jogja, You & Memories
The 30th Temple

I pushed the gate when I got to the courtyard. My father, who was seen sitting on a patio chair, stood up after folding the newspaper in his hand.

“Where are you guys?” My eyes widened hearing the firmness of his voice. Tumbens.

I kissed the back of his hand after putting the helmet on the table and turned to Dominic who had just parked my bike next to Pranata's car.

“Where, Dom?” repeat my father with the same firmness.

Dominic kissed the back of my father's hand after standing casually in front of him. “Just a walk to the beach, sir.”

“Nginep you two? Where?” My father jerked his chin towards us at the same time.

Contact me and Dominic look at each other.

Don't be honest, don't. I shook my head faintly. My eyes dimmed as Dominic nodded with a nod of his head.

“Domi can be clearin, sir.” he added in earnest.

“Paijo yesterday afternoon brought the car home, he said to me your father left before the reunion was over. Now you go home early in the morning, Rastanty's eyes are red, you change clothes, what are you? Where is nginep?” said my father contained embers of fire.

“Parangtritis, sir.” Dominic smiled wryly.

“Wes, wes.. ora bener iki.” (already, already.... not true this ) Father shook his head. “Come in, I wait in the family room!” There was no word from my father's stern voice.

Pestilent. I looked at Dominic as he opened the main door. The sound of the chair shifted violently from inside the house.

“What do you want to say to me, Dom?” tanyaku.

“To be honest, let me not constantly think of you as a jerk, Ras. I'll take responsibility!”

In the chair next to the father, Dominic sat down while breathing out slowly. While I was glued to my seat while holding a black and white crackle containing the rest of our snacks and reunion clothes.

The father looked at me, erecting the body that was leaning on the seat-back frame. “Two years your father and mother don't know how you're doing out there, Ras. What's like this? Wandering, nginep tandem. ” Mr. clutching armrest frontman.

“Mr sure you and Dominic don't just sleep together, Ras. I'm sure you guys have messed around. Biasify!” tukas mr. heavy.

I gulped down my conditional salivary, how did you know the big secret last night? Never experienced it when young.

I lowered my head, hearing Dominic's honest explanation until I didn't dare look at you. It's out of my control. Dominic admits everything even though little is hidden.

“Father does not want to know, you two must account for your behavior as long as you do not know.” That sentence bends my guts. Father stands. ”Bring us to your house, Dom. You need to talk to your parents.”

“Sendiko dhawuh, sir.” Dominic nodded weakly. My eyes are growing, sendiko dhawuh? Dominic thinks this is in the kingdom?

I glanced at the father who went into the kitchen, the father called my mother who had just been dangdutan in the kitchen.

“You are ready to choose clothes, later tonight we leave for Malang!”

“Lho, why to mas?” The radio voice disappeared.

“Rastanty same Dominic nginep together at the hotel Parangtritis, wes obviously they kebablasan! They must marry.” said my father still with a tone containing embers of fire.

Dining room and family room divider curtain is open, my mother's face looks later. “Really, Race?”

“Bene, bu.” Dominic answered.

The curtains closed again, the radio was heard. My mother and father did nothing because there were no more voices.

I rubbed my eyes, I was tired of crying before coming back here. Now to my great surprise my father decided unilaterally their arrival to Dominic's parents' house in Malang.

No need to explain I know what that means. This friendship needs to be clarified to a very serious level.

“Sorry, Race. This is the most true for our relationship than later your father was angry with me and did not believe in me again. You can lose friends, as well as fiancee.” said Dominic comforting.

I rubbed my teary eyes. “That's not the case, Dom. I haven't been able to confirm my heart to you.”

“I... I'm just afraid you're disappointed.” I said stammered. There was a deep fear that broke into my chest when I accepted Dominic's proposal. He was too naughty for me to be labeled innocent and easy to use, but he was also too good to be a husband for me who had not fully healed.

“I'm serious, I'm afraid you're disappointed because of my reaction.” I added as Dominic only smiled amusedly.

“Luck off, your reaction is still reasonable unless you kick my ball.” whispered Dominic and kissed me on the cheek at a glance. “Last chance, use it well.”

My eyes were about to slash so wide.

I am the one who is trapped myself.

I watched Dominic walk into the dining room through the kitchen and into the hallway of the hostel. She obviously went into her room while I, limp helplessly.

I had no choice but to resign because getting acquainted with other men would add new problems in my already-baby life until noon to afternoon, he said, I stayed in the room after choosing which clothes I used for tomorrow's proposal while I peeked at Dominic's bedroom door, he fell asleep.

I snorted in annoyance, how could he sleep well while even I could not. Overwhelmed, I entered her cool room without bright lighting. I sat down in front of his face and launched an act of revenge.

I woke up his sleep by tickling his nose with the tip of my hair.

“Build heh kebo lanang, I need you.”

“Aaaahhh,” Dominic sighed in annoyance. “Nail here, lock the door first.”

“Terus you want my father nyatroni we sleep together? Wake up, I want to talk seriously with you!”

Slowly those beautiful eyes opened, I smiled. “What?” tanyakanya.

“We're seriously getting married?”

“Rastanty!” Dominic closed his eyes again. “I sleep at this hour so that later tonight can keep you asleep, this even bothers you to keep wondering questions that are clearly the answer. I'm serious.”

“Keep what we can make deal first night time?”

Dominic smiled thinly. “What's deal?”

“You reply first agree what not?”

“Obviously no! Your deal must have been Ras. Just get out there, sweep that page instead of bothering me!” throw it away while pushing my head in a frenzy.

“Semprul.” I stayed in Dominic's room until he was moved to get up on his own.

“Why else?” Dominic kissed my crown.

“Your parents accepted me?” I said doubt. “You and Pranata are the descendants of priyayi, while I—”

“My father priyayi, my mother bule. The combination is not enough to make you relieved that the two of them do not think who you are descended from. Relax, Race. The Pranata family is pure priyayi, while my family is not. How-how good it is like me really, bigger.”

“What?”

“My feelings to you.”

“But your face is strange.”

Dominic smiled at me. “That's all you want to ask?”

“Iya.” I straightened my legs and looked under Dominic's face, which was covering my face. “You seneng my father speed up your application?”

Without saying anything, the doorknob moved and someone opened it. I'm making a distance with Dominic.

“Amore straight. Habit!” Mr grunting. “Mandi keep getting ready to station.”
