Love But Different
Episode Six

How long, Rendi seemed to close the phone connection and put it back on the table.

" Why?" much

" This is my nelfon, it's a key kosant want to borrow a laptop "he explained.

I'm nodding.

" Oh yeah, what did you say?"

For a moment he was silent, it seemed like Rendi was worried.

" No papa, not so, tomorrow ajalah" he said. Maybe Rendi was upset because her conversation with me had to be cut off because she got a phone call from her friend.

Hearing Rendi's words honestly I was a bit disappointed, how not I was really curious at what Rendi would say. But I couldn't possibly force him to continue the conversation.

" Yeah, go home yuk, Udah night "take him and then get out of the seat, followed by me.

After paying, we both left the cafe. On the way we both just kept quiet unlike when we left. The night breeze started to make me cold, I clenched my own body with both hands while Rendi focused more and more on the crowded streets, she accelerated the speed of her vehicle.

I don't know what was in Rendi's mind at that time, which he must have just remained silent without flinching a bit. And I ventured to ask.

" What are you doing?" much

" What?" balas Rendi did not listen.

" What are you doing?" ask me again with a rather loud voice right in his ear.

" Oh, Papa."

" Sure?"

" Yes, I don't know "

The motorbike he drove continued to ride down the smooth blackened asphalt road, passing through shady trees.

" Ita? " call me while knocking on the door.

"Yes, hang on "

Then the door to the room opened. Ita stood with a blanket wrapped around her body.

" Have you come home sweet lady? Cie the abis way "Ledek Ita to me. I grinned the horse hearing Ita's words.

" Not your weekly night?" ask Ita. He just shakes.

" Tumben, Doni didn't come out?"

" Had broken up "he replied sadly.

I was shocked to hear Ita's confession. Ita and Doni have been dating for a long time, about three years. So when I heard Ita's confession, I had less faith.

" Heleh lied to you, At least fight back too, like "already said me while hanging a small bag I was wearing, on a nail hanger.

" Doni cheated on "ita raucous voice. Then I approached Ita who was covering her face with a pillow, I knew she was holding back tears.

" Patience yes "I rubbed his back, that's all I can do for this good friend of mine. I don't know what to say, but I certainly feel the sadness of what Ita is feeling right now.

" Don't be sad anymore" I said trying to calm Ita down.

" Yes San, I don't think he's that bad as me, 3 years is not a short time "

" Yes, I understand "

" How are you the same as Rendi?" Ask Ita while wiping her tears.

" How is it "

" Say he wants a happy story, What?"

For a moment I was stunned to see Ita's face. I feel so lucky to have such a good friend like her.

" No, yes just a twilight can go the same way he "reply me then lay the body on the mattress.

" Rendi's like a good guy "

" Yes well" I said softly.

" Is there a problem?" asked Ita after looking at my face. Maybe he caught a little less than my face.

" There's no "

" Damn it!! Udah ah, I want to wash my face first, a lot of shayy dust "

I got up and walked towards the bathroom.

***

The night was getting late, I glanced at Ita beside me who had fallen asleep very fast, maybe he had dreamed of traveling around the world. While me? At 12pm I couldn't sleep. Since coming home, Rendi hasn't told me yet. Who am I? Why wait for news from him, it's weird.

I put my phone on the table. As much as I can close my eyes that are not sleepy yet, thankfully tomorrow is Sunday so I can wake up a little afternoon. Hostels are mostly like this, using holidays to laze because no one scolds you when you wake up like I do. Until sometimes I do not perform dawn prayers. Astagfirulloh me, do not imitate ya friends.

When my eyes closed, my phone vibrated twice. Damnit damnit! Let me in my heart, disturb people to sleep.

Then I grabbed my phone and saw who sent whatsapp.

Instantly my heart was joyous countless and these two eyes were getting fresher, after I found it was Rendi who sent whatsapp.

" Sani, are you asleep? Thanks for tonight "fill whatsapp first.

" Good sleep Sani, may God take care of you "isi whatsapp second.

That night I was made like a madman who smiled to himself.

" Yes with Rendi, Good night too, good night, good night "my reply accompanied by a smiling emoticon. Look alay, but yes, so do not be impressed flat.

* zzttt..

My HP is back shaking.

" Eh hasn't slept apparently "rebutt Rendi.

" Yet not yet, can't sleep "

" Why?"

" Not knowing either "

" So don't think I keep dong, hahahaaa "reply Rendi that almost made me laugh off.

" Pede is a person "

" Oh yes San actually that I want to say important, but hunted bete because my friend called me "

" Well, what do you want to say?"

" I really wanted to talk about this earlier, but that's it, hhmm"

" What do you want to say?" I am back to curious.

" If I talk now, ntar thought not gentle "he said.

Well I'm getting deg deg it made her.

" What the hell am I talking about? Make me curious "

" Tomorrow if you meet "

" Now anyway, my curiosity has already sampe ubun-ubun nih "

" Surely want it now, But don't laugh at it let alone suck "reply Rendi.

" Well, what the hell is that?"

After that Rendi has not also replied to my whatsapp. Almost 5 minutes I waited for Rendi not to reply yet. Maybe she's asleep I thought.

* zzttt.

My phone is back vibrating. The content of whatsapp messages was quite long, but this time the reply from Rendi really made me feel like in a stirring, cold hot taste.

" San sorry if I talk through wa, actually I want to say this earlier, but I've been hunting bete. I want to talk to you tomorrow if we meet, but you are already curious. Yes, yes, don't laugh.

San since I've been squirming you at Auntie Dwi's house, I've been curious about you ever since. Time on the show I really want to hit you, but it's like you're a cuey so I doubt it. After I got home from there, I started to find out about you on Facebook. I want your name to be Sani, so I'll write Sani's catalog. The name Sani appeared a lot, I got dizzy loud. Finally found your Facebook account. Okay I shorten it yes, than you will sleepy read my wa. After knowing you even further, I'm getting interested in you San. Maybe more precisely I like you, used to still just like it but after we walk a few times and the peak tonight I've been heart-stopping. I like you San, I love you. What about you to me?"

Goosebumps disco reading whatsapp from Rendi. I was so confused as to what to reply.

Seriate....
