My Father Misses
Sunset

I prepared provisions for both of us because of my promise to Atan.

I brought my favorite soft drinks and sweet potato chips as well as some snacks for us to eat later.

One full crackle, containing snacks.

I also headed to the beach and I saw Atan waiting for me and I approached him.

"Once more, huh? Pardon me! I was still calling dad.

"What's wrong! I was here too."

"Come on!" Take atan

"Where?" Ask me a curious.

"Follow it!"

"Which way?"

"Follow it, you must like it."

I followed Atan from behind like a chick following his mother.

In my heart I asked where exactly was our goal.

We walked along the beach and the trail, past a small hillside.

After a 20-minute drive from our inn, we finally arrived at a hill.

"What do you think Lila is?" Atan said while showing the view that was plastered in front of us.

"Wooowww...!" I was amazed by what I saw. Really beautiful creation of God, very intoxicating.

"Beautiful! Really beautiful,"

"You likey?"

"Yes!" I answered while shaking my head.

I sat staring, fascinated by the sight before me.

I looked around and again I enjoyed the view. I was really fascinated by its beauty.

"Where do you know about this place?" Ask me a curious.

"From the innkeeper! Answer Atan lightly.

"I want to tell you something?" Atan said while looking at me deeply.

"About? Whatisit? Isn't this it already?" Askaqua.

"I want to show you Sunset, said the sunset man here so beautifully."

I sipped a soft drink while waiting for Sunset.

"Atan, let's eat! While waiting for sanset." I said while handing over a large pack of sweet potato chips.

"It's beautiful, so it lingers here for a long time." I said while tearing yam chips.

"It's so beautiful, like you!"

"Deeeeegggg.. deeeggggg..."

My heart beats so fast.

"What's this?"

I smiled to hide my feelings.

"You're so good to know a beautiful place like this." I said divert the conversation.

"Yes when - when are we both here again, we'll be alone." Atan said while looking at me meaningfully.

We looked at each other.

There was a sense of turbulence in there, in my heart and my heart was beating abnormally.

"Oh my God, what happened? Why do I feel like this !" I murmured in my heart.

No words, just a meaningful gaze from Atan requires me to be misbehaved.

It's just my feeling or I'm too geer.

But I still hold to my principles. Friends are friends, they can only be brothers and not lovers.

I want to make both my parents happy, there are no dates or lovers in my dictionary.

"Down far away Lila, you can't soak up the taste. Atan is your best friend.

As soon as the feeling disappears, don't expect more."

"It looks dark, yuk down. I'm afraid we'll meet a fizzing animal." I said while standing up.

Atan held my hand, and I could not resist. I let him hold my hand

I felt my heart stop for a moment because her soft hands were touching mine.

"Can we stay a little longer?" Tanya looked at me so deeply.

I turned my eyes away by looking at the watch in my hand.

"Other times yes, I'm worried that our friend's friend will be looking for us. It's 06:05, and it's getting darker. The show must have started." I said trying to calm down even though my feelings were mixed.

"Come, next time we'll be here again."

"Please promise me Lila."

"Oh my God, what should I answer? I'm afraid he's feeling disappointed and sad."

"What's wrong with me, you know.conscious Lila, Atan's your best friend!"

"Promise!" Atan said my daydream.

"Yes, next time." Answer me so Atan will return to the inn.

I'm afraid my heart is not in line with my principles. I'm afraid my heart is weak not as strong as my logic. I was afraid that my logic would also weaken like my heart.

"Ahhhhh...God help me!"

Atan grabbed my hand and we walked down the road we were on.

And I let him hold my hand, without a fight from me.

We also arrived at the beach.

Our friends have gathered with their own groups.

We've arrived but I can't take Atan's hand off.

"Hey, where have you been?" Ask Vita.

"Road - walk!" Atan answered with ease.

"Why not take it anyway?" Fussy Vita

Atan and I passed without responding to vita's fuss.

We also joined our group.

Atan was always with me and he didn't let go of his hand at all.

"Atan ..atan..," call me.

"What's wrong?" Answer Atan gently.

Deegggggg..deggg...

My heart is beating fast.

"Atan, please! Just make it normal, I can be out of breath if you act like that all the time."

"Tan let go of my hand!" I said whisper.

"What?" Atan pura did not listen to my words.

"Let go of my hand!"

Atan looked at me and smiled, but he didn't let go of my hand.

My heart is getting worse, I am afraid of being discovered by my friends.

"Oh my God, I hope they don't see it!"

"Atane...Atan," I called him again.

"What's Lila?" Ask atan. His voice was so soft and spoiled.

"Please let go of your hand."

"Why is that?"

"It's not good with our friends and best friends."

"Something is wrong?"

"Yes, your hands!" I showed him his hand which was still tightly holding mine.

"Let's just let it go!"Answer's cuek.

"This kid!"

"It would be wrong to hold the hand of someone I love? What if I love my best friend?"

Deeeggg...Degggm...Deeeeggg...

Atan's question made my heart race faster.

I looked around me, I was afraid that someone would listen or that someone would be suspicious of our attitude.

"Thank God, they're busy with their phone."

"You're not wrong, it's just that we're in Indonesia not abroad."

"In Indonesia, we can't show feelings to people we like?"

"It's not so!"

"Keep!"

I was silent for a moment.

"Wait on! Since when have we been? Since when did Atan say I like me? Is sanset just an excuse? Ahhhh.I'm dizzy!"

"I think it's exciting!" Neno surprised us.

And I woke up from my long daydream.

"Is Neno suspicious? Did Neno listen to what we were talking about?"

I took a deep breath.

"Well, where were you two going?" Neno asked as a detective.

There was suspicion implied in the look on his face.

"Road - walk." Answer Atan cuek.

"You guys didn't do anything weird, did you?

"Basic picot (dirty mind) you," continued or while pushing Neno's head.
