Jogja, You & Memories
The 43rd Temple

As long as Dominic remains driving after buying a scrambled egg just in case my father gets angry, I look at the quieter, more peaceful midnight panorama of Jogja with a thumping feeling.

All this time I tend not to care who Dominic is, he's good enough and there for me as long as I need him it's much more happy than who he really is.

”Not sleepy, Ras?” Dominic rubbed my hair while driving.

“I drank a lot of coffee earlier.”.

“Where is possible?” deny Dominic, “You only buy mango juice full of cheese and choco chips. No caffeine content there is beautiful..”.

“You're the caffeine, Dom!!!” hisisku mangkel's. “Didn't understand.” I grumbled as I threw my face at him.

“Oh... I'm so coffee now, bitter dong.” reply Dominic with laughter. “Apes makes me coffee, but thanks, I can keep you awake every day. I promise.”

The flickering of his eyes looked mischievous while what I was thinking was not that, he was the caffeine that made my head so full of big question marks Yeng flashed without pause like having a cup of coffee. My mind wandered, entangled in the one name next to mine now.

“Work where are you?” many finally.

“Cie.. anyone can not sleep later.” ledeknya while removing the seat belt. Dominic got out of the car and opened the gate, for a moment he looked at me with a smile like I did the first time when he welcomed his arrival.

“Saranghaeyo, Ras.” His body jerked in the car seat while driving it a few meters up to the yard. He smiled amusedly just like when I saw him until he was amazed to see a half-bule man coming to these boarding houses. That's a super rare event that has happened in this hostel until now. There was no man as handsome as him who stopped by and made this hostel a halfway house.

I flicked my finger at his ear. “Udah don't seduce, gaffer's room. The honourable one must have woken up from his sweet dreams and headed for a nightmare!”

Dominic's holding my wrist. “Neither in reply was his saraphaeyo?”

“Father hunted out, I must welcome him...” Turtle egg martabak pack hurriedly while sticking out the tongue.

“You speed ask for love reply, if baby I have a lot for you.” My left hand pushed the car door. “Night, Dominic.”

“Do not lock your room!”

“Wuhehe..” I sauntered towards the porch of the house along with the opening of the door from the inside.

“Where are you?” ask mr. senewen. His head looked towards the car that had just stopped the roar of his engine.

“Nyobain mattress.” I hurriedly handed the egg hammer to my father's hand as it sped quickly into my room as if I had the power of the wind.

“Let's mampus it Dominic leahin to the father nyobain mattress what does it mean!” I chuckled, my back against the door leaf after it closed while slumping slowly. I nodded and rubbed my lips.

“How dare I kiss Dominic. Iuhh. Pantesan she likes to kiss..” I hit my head. “Sadly, Race. Realize.. instead of thinking Kendranata you even more tattered your dirty thoughts, uh. if I did, Dominic would be even worse... Oh my God, this thought, this movie... I have to penitent.”

I crawled into my bed so powerless that I thought of myself starting out like Dominic's ex. Naughty and cheap.

“Big bad!” I placed my back carefully onto the mattress before being aghast. The knocking of the door like a blow made me cancel my dream.

“Who?” much worry. “I want to take a shower, if you want to get angry at the pending first ajalah, it's late at night.”

Gedoran again made me pacing while biting my finger. But the longer I let it go, the less it's gonna end tonight's business.

I pulled down the doorknob and pulled it. Dominic grinning. I widened the door leaf while breathing a sigh of relief.

“Ngapain?” my question was as I looked up into the hallway of the hostel, silent, only faintly heard music from one of the rooms. “Which father?”

“Kitchen, water cook.”

“Make a copy?”

“Bless a day.”

“You are insolent! Could make a reason to try the mattress, would not want me to have to buy a mattress tomorrow to fill our room here!” Dominic menonyor my forehead.

I grimaced then realized, “What do you do?”

“Important, I don't want you to continue to not believe in yourself.” Dominic slipped my hair behind my ears. “We can find happiness together.”

“But I need to know who you are.”

“You mean acquaintance again, Ras? Forgot you equal my name?”

“I'm serious!”

“Wedding we talk about again.”

I cleared my throat while pushing him out of the room.

“Later noon I come with you, all talking to you about the cost of our marriage.”

“Our wedding, hmm.” Dominic grimacing amused. “Still making a deal, Ras?”

“Still!” I nodded diligently. “Listen... First, don't force me... Second, um..” I gulped repeatedly. “Everytime we sleep should be dark-dark! Continue..”

“What to try?” he said while leaning and leaning against the door frame. “I want to hear everything now so later

“I... hi... You have to close your eyes.” I said while closing my cheeks that meet.

Dominic held back a smile and then a grin was seen. “Bby, I'll do your part girl boy.”

Pleasure faded from my face. “So you want to make no deal, Dom?”

“I just want to keep you warm with everything I have for you.”

“Domi—”

I smiled as he gasped in shock and exited the room with his awkward smile.

“Engih, sir. Pripun?”¹

“Banyune hot wes², you shower continue to eat martabak with father.”

“Engih, sir. Nggih.”

I closed the door to my room while I lay down on the bed. Dominic left a kiss good morning before the father faded the warmth that re-established this body. Flying a delusion and dropping it again on earth.

Dominic must be being interrogated... And it was fun. “We break even, Domiku. Eat it martabak and talk father!” I smiled as I closed my eyes.

...🖤...

¹ Yes, sir. Hows it?

² The water is hot.
