Singularity : Eps. 14

It has been a week since the monument incident at Bogor Botanical Garden, but Hakiki did not get the actual story clarity from Arini. Hakiki asked Arini about it when in the car on the way home from the Bogor Botanical Garden but he just kept quiet. Actually do not want to force his best friend, later when he is ready will definitely be the story, he thought.

The slow sounding rhythm of music is a sign of a second break from the school schedule. Right out of class to Arini's class and looking for the girl. He finds Arini talking to his girlfriend. Haven't had time to call Arini, the slender girl has turned her head because she was told her friend about the existence of the Essence.

"Hey... Ki, where are you going?" ask Arini.

"You find you, there's something I want to talk about" whispered the Truth. His body was approaching Arini.

"Yes... what the hell?"

"We go to the canteen yuk..," asked Hakiki. "Talk in the cafeteria."

"OK," replied Arini quickly. "Hey..*g*irls, I go to the cafeteria first. Elu-elu on what message? Yes, my offer is off, so you answer." Not yet his friend replied Arini had refused first. Arini plays with her friends while acting silly. Then he hooked his hand to the True arm.

"Gue doesn't want an ape-ape message, but I'll keep my heart for your best friend" shouted one girl, Arini's friend from a distance.

Arini looked back. Smiling with charm, she placed a kiss on her left hand, then placed it on her right cheek. He teased his friends.

The girls were screaming hysterically.

The short laugh. Mouth open a little. Both of his eyes stared intently at the girls standing in groups, The sharp gaze of Truth seemed gentle but. The girls were increasingly shouting and jumping for joy.

Seeing the action of the girls, Hakiki chuckled and let out a short voice. His eyes are slightly squinting. Her cheeks flushed.

"Hadeeehh. So many of your fans in this world, Ki," complained the spoiled Arini. He still holds the Truth. The humans that were commented on just kept silent and stared at the passageway they were walking through with his blank face.

They walked down the classroom aisle as many as 5 rooms and then turned left to the canteen behind the classroom building. Along the way of course many eyes were looking but they were walking leisurely, not in an overbearing style. Arini scolds her friends who smile at her.

"I want to take a printout of the photo that came home from school yesterday, you want to come?" ask Right. He walked slowly, looking at Arini who was still swaying in his left hand.

"Oh... Is it over?"

"Udah from 3 days ago."

"Why do you want to take it now?"

"Some days I've been busy helping my mom at home," the real truth.

"OKAY. I'm coming with you."

They arrived at the canteen. Look for an empty bench that is on the edge. The person who chooses. He does not like if in the crowd is in the middle, it will be the center of attention of people around. He doesn't like that." You sit down first, Rin, I want to order some food" he said. "What do you want to order?"

"I drank avocado juice doang, Ki."

"What he wants to eat, even the answer is a drink message," the real sewot. His face was now mocking. Then he went to the lined food and drink stalls. The canteen is big. It is about 25 x 20 meters. This is the first cafeteria at their school. This canteen is the most crowded compared to the other two canteens.

Arriving in front of the booth, Hakiki ordered a 1-serve jam-packed toast with fizzy drinks and avocado juice for Arini. The young man told me the number of the table where he was sitting. After he finished he returned to the table again casually.

"Aren't you on a course today?" ask the truth while pulling a plastic chair and continue to sit slowly. He is facing Arini.

Really small nod.

"Ki, actually I want to talk to you about the incident last week at Bogor Botanical Garden."

"Oh." The truth let out a short sound, its mouth forming the letter O and slightly opened. Then he tried to hear Arini's story. This story is what he had been waiting for the past week and he managed to lure Arini by taking her to the cafeteria.

"At that time, I felt like someone was calling me. Female voice. At first the voice slowly echoed, over and over again. But after several calls in a slow and resounding voice, he finally called my name by shouting and yelling. At that moment, the ears rattled and hurt. Shortly after, someone pulled my hand. He ran, pulled me and I tried to balance my steps so as not to fall. He led me to the monument, then told me to read the inscription. After that I felt that he was in my body. The memory of the past fused with my body, so warm, full of love and affection. He greatly appreciated his old life. Then, he cried, rested on the inscription. Crying not because she was miserable, but she was crying because she was happy. I feel like he left his love completely. I remember all this after a few days of the incident, before I did not remember at all," explained Arini at length.

Truth is still silent. His face is very serious.

"But I'm okay, Ki. When I was at the monument, I felt happy, free, happy because I felt a lot of people around me, laughing together and being happy."

Arini's story was cut short because the waiter came to deliver food and drinks. After putting 4 things on their table, the servant left while letting out welcoming words.

"Drink deh," cried the Truth while thrusting a plain glass glass, shaped like leatherback because there are segments on the sides. He also took a bottle of soft drinks ordered, poured into a glass containing ice cubes. The essence of pulling a plate of jam bread and trying to split the bread into small pieces with a fork. "Trus... How's it going?" ask Right.

"What yes? Yeah, I don't feel burdened by that. I felt it was a strange thing but it made me happy in my life. As it happens now, I am happy, many friends, cheerful, full of love, and trying to be a good human being."

"Hmmm... Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes." Yeah." Arini answered quickly and sipped her drink.

"Yes already. What matters is that you're okay." Just be quiet for a moment. "You ever got carried away with that dream, Rin?" ask the Truth again. He tries to convince her that Arini is okay.

"No. Even if I think of that woman, it makes me feel excited."

The truth is cringing. He slowly chewed his food while slightly thinking.

"Emang knapa?" asked Arini who saw the look of the True face, she tried to find the answer of the look of the face. "What are you thinking?"

"Ah. It's about me, it has nothing to do with what you did at the monument."

Arini just fell silent, sipped a drink in front of him again, he did not want to force Hakiki to tell me what he thought because he knew, I do not like it if urged.

"I'm sure, the photo prints must be good everything," the real truth melts the atmosphere.

"Ish. must be dunks. I'm the model."

"I'm the photographer" he said quickly.

Then they laughed together.
