The mist hung over the pine trees after the heavy rain flushed leaving the cold moist air piercing the skin.
The rain began to subside when Kelana and Renjani arrived at the inn which was located closest to the cemetery area. Kelana did not have time to choose a good inn because their bodies are soaked and must be dried immediately. But they are lucky because this inn is not too bad especially with a balcony that presents a beautiful view.
Kelana sure Renjani will love this view because they used to see skyscrapers in Jakarta.
"We spend the night here, we'll be home tomorrow." Kelana turned her head realizing Renjani's presence.
"okay." Renjani sits beside Kelana, she flicks her wet hair. Renjani searches the hair dryer all over the room but she does not find it. It seems the inn does not provide hair dryer facilities. "So your mom's grave is here."
"Yes, Mama was Bandung."
"He must be an incredible violinist like you."
"Yes, initially Mama only performed at local events and increasingly famous continue to meet Papa. Papa gave the musical instrument facility to Mama until they finally got married."
"It's no wonder you're a famous violinist now." Renjani reviews the sweetest smile hoping it can treat Kelana's grief.
"That's because I was used to music from birth."
"Your mother must be proud."
"I wish he lived longer, I wasn't doing anything, I could just press the piano keys at random."
"You're amazing for being able to survive until now." Renjani cupped Kelana's cheeks. "You'll stay strong until later."
When she smiled, she held the tiny hand of Renjani on her cheek.
"Don't feel alone anymore, there's me."
"Thank you Re." Kelana kissed Renjani's old forehead and hugged her. He felt lucky because fate brought him to Renjani. A simple girl who has no privileges except her sincere heart.
"Kelana, I just realized that your back is wide, my hands are not sharp."
"It means less close." Kelana tightened her body so that Renjani could hug her back.
Like a baby kangaroo hiding in his mother's stomach.
"What should we do when the weather is raining?"
Renjani thought, he had imagined eating instant noodles from earlier. But he ate instant noodles last night. Renjani is committed to a healthier life like Kelana. Renjani never saw Kelana eating instant noodles. Yana always makes healthy food with quality ingredients.
"Re," Kelana breaks down the hug because she doesn't immediately hear Renjani's answer.
"Eat instant noodles." Renjani said honestly, what else can they do when it rains besides eating instant noodles. Renjani always did that with Jesi first. They can add whatever is left in the refrigerator to get more servings.
Kelana laughs, it turns out that Renjani's mind is filled with food. Though Kelana thought of something more pleasant than eating.
"We haven't had lunch either."
"All right, let's order some food." Because they give up, they still have time until tomorrow here.
"Do you want instant noodles?"
"I haven't eaten instant noodles in the last year, if Yana knew for sure she'd be nagging."
"Don't tell Yana."
"All right, I'll order." Kelana contact the inn to order instant noodles that Renjani wants complete with eggs.
"Take it too." Renjani Whisper.
Kelana's eyebrows shot up in shock because Renjani ate instant noodles with rice. Even though instant noodles are enough to fill.
"They'll drop him off in 10 minutes." He put his phone back.
Renjani mangosteen, saliva has filled his mouth cavity imagining sipping noodles that still emit smoke. There's nothing better than that now.
"Because you're here, you want to go visit Mama Lasi?"
Renjani shook her head, she had met her mama a few days ago. After all they do not have much time, Kelana is also not unemployed who can walk around here and there.
"Actually kangen anyway but Mama if you meet always just nagging even though I do not feel wrong, like I'm breathing wrong in Mama's eyes."
"Maybe it's your mom's affectionate sign to you."
"He's a bad-tempered man." The view of Renjani glared up over the gray sky. Before the divorce, his parents often seen a fight. Every time he fought, Lasti would vent his anger on Renjani. Lasti will hit Renjani just for a trivial matter. Renjani was once hit by a leather belt just because she used her mama's lipstick.
But imagining Kelana who lost Karalyn makes Renjani think that the pain of Lasti's anger is nothing. At least Renjani can still see her mama if she misses. Unlike Kelana who can only stare at the navel Karalyn.
"But you're too cheerful for a broken home child."
"I don't want the world to know my sadness, you do either."
"Because of the demands of the job." Kelana chuckles, no matter how much trouble she is facing if there is a camera she must behave as if she is the happiest in the world. She had to keep smiling at reporters and her fans.
"I could be your tear container."
"You want to be a basin?"
"Such a big glass, so just a wine glass."
"Emang enough to catch my tears?"
"It should be enough, which means you can't cry often."
"Re, aren't you wearing a bra?" Kelana should have realized that since Renjani approached her after taking a bath.
"No, it's wet." Renjani put her wet clothes in the bathroom.
"So you?" Going to glance at the bottom of Renjani's body, is Renjani not wearing an underwear?
"It's wet too." Renjani nodded casually.
"You can't go anywhere, don't go out of the room."
"Disappears to be?" Renjani stood in front of Kelana, she was already wearing a loose sweat shirt that would not show her chest bulge.
"No, but just in case."
"Let's buy underwear."
"No, we're home tomorrow morning." Kelana did not want to take Renjani out, people could see it. Kelana also does not want to buy alone, besides not knowing the size that Renjani usually wear he is also embarrassed.
Renjani pursed her mouth, "let's just say it's easy, right?" He narrowed his eyes looking at Kelana suspiciously.
"What looks?"
"It's been beaten up."
"I've beaten you?" Kelana raised an eyebrow, when he had beaten Renjani. Is not Renjani who always do it while sleeping.
"Often."
"When's Re?"
Renjani sneered, did Kelana forget she made all over Renjani's body ache after spending all night on the dressing table and bed. Fortunately, Renjani's legs had not healed so he had a reason not to walk on his feet.
"Sorry." Kelana re-hugged Renjani, "that's not the name to beat."
"Then what?"
"Teaching sounds too cruel, I love you Renjani."
Renjani's body stiffened, he was like he was being stung by high voltage electricity. His ears are no longer working. How could Kelana say such a thing. No. gabe. Not likely.
"I love you." Kelana repeated her sentence.
Renjani immediately broke free from Kelana's embrace as she heard the knock of the door several times.
Their order instant noodles came but Renjani had already lost her appetite. Renjani suddenly full after hearing the expression of love Kelana. Is finally love Renjani no longer clapping one hand. Ah Renjani wants to scream and fly into space and tell everyone that Kelana has just expressed her feelings.
Renjani put two bowls of instant noodles and a plate of rice on the table. Despite losing appetite, Renjani must still spend the noodles. Stomach Renjani should not have free time.
"No boy?" Renjani awaits Kelana's reaction after one year of not eating instant noodles. According to Renjani, Kelana must enter the record of muri for not eating noodles that long.
Kelana nodded, he could not deny that the taste of instant noodles was always good. Something unhealthy is delicious.
"Not the same as rice?"
"No, suddenly full."
They spent the noodles in silence. Only the sound of rustling rain from out there as if the sky had not been satisfied to wet the earth.
"Udah?"
Renjani nodded
"You're not sick anymore, are you?" Kelana touching Renjani's forehead ensures that Renjani does not have a fever. Kelana never saw Renjani not have an appetite like this. Usually Renjani always eat anything until it runs out even puffed rice cakes stale he eats.
"No." Renjani removes Kelana's hand from her forehead. How could he possibly eat voraciously after receiving Kelana's confession of love. "Kelana." Call her.
"Hm?"
"How do you feel about me?"
"No."
"Why?"
"I know you have the same feeling."
Dih, PD is crazy, Kelana but yes really. I even fell in love with him first.
"I have no reason not to fall in love with you, you have everything, but I—I have a regular girl, you can meet hundreds of girls like me out there."
"Don't tell me that, out there nobody eats a lot of your kayaks, nobody eats your stale kayak cake." Kelana squeezed Rejani's cheeks with anxiety until Renjani's lips conical like a fish. Kelana got up from her chair and grabbed the reddish lips of Renjani.
Kelana lifted Renjani's body easily and threw her into bed. He pulled a lock of Renjani's hair and if it has done that— means Kelana will soon start his exploration. Exploring Renjani's body.
Renjani felt that something was coming from inside her chest. Fireworks lit up brightly and then exploded making Renjani feel filled with warmth—or even hot.
Renjani wondered in the rain that fell why fireworks could still be lit?
