Today I went home early. My college SPP money felt so sad, when the lecturer suddenly disappeared from the campus radar. I'm upset. I worked desperately for college, saving food, fasting snacks, always dieting despite being thin, hunting down discounted food, and who was approaching expired. But, Lecturer, some days do not come to the surface, as swallowed by the earth.
While still down the stairs structurally designed, far from the impression of art. I accidentally found out from the parking lot, a figure I missed in silence. I chased. It's like getting new strength, forgetting my wailing.
"June!" call me. He's stopped. I smile. "Jun, what's your long name?" I rubbed my lips. "Ehm, Junaidi?" I asked innocent looking for a topic, just to talk to him.
His eyes are minimalist and round. He held his expression. I saw his curly hair that was swept by the wind also looked gallant. There were even leaves perched in her hair. Scratch his tangled clothes. I smile.
"Aren't you going to buy me crocodile bread?"
He turned. Like asking. "Yes, to eat, what else?"
He smiled thinly. Crocodile bread that I know is for betawi traditional wedding ceremony. How funny!
"You know why it's crocodile bread? Why not a monitor lizard? Or a bat, or some other animal?"
June was interested. She shook her head.
"Because crocodiles are loyal animals" I said earnestly. June stopped, I can't believe it.
"Yes, crocodiles are loyal, if in the water, another story if it's already on land." I laugh. It was just a silly joke for Jun to avoid the face of the nelangsa. And comfort my frustration. I'm used to being friends with him.
Our laughter came to a halt when the flamboyant gold-colored car in front of us stopped. The handsome figure was even down. He greeted with a friendly.And I was amazed—because of his car.
"Nariswari, come with me, yuk!"
"Where?"
Nathan smiled like a child. "You know too!"
I turned to June. He just kept quiet, staring coldly at Nathan, and so did Nathan. Like wanting to eat June round like round tofu.
Throughout the journey Natan was silent. Where am I going? Out of country? Getting kidnapped? Or to KUA and then forced into marriage? I shook jeri.
"Why you?"
I woke up from a wild imagination. "Ah, it's okay, really!"
"I just remembered, we've never been on a walk."
"It's not a walk! But, get in the car." I looked at this luxury car. Then stroking. Smells of the rich. And the fragrance of Nathan is like that. Style too. What will it be if we walk together, like a farm boy and a company boy?
Damnit. I lived too long, making me a matre, who loved and fell in love with luxury. Nathan, it's like he knows my weak point. He is a dangerous enemy!
And finally he took me to the mole. The downtown section.
"Today I'm buying. You choose what you like!"
"Well, really, is it?" many enthusiast. Then forget, if this it must have wanted, and not free!
"I'm dizzy, it's too expensive! It's worth my cost money for a month, so I can't bear it. Even if I buy, I'll keep it, I don't make it, so it's not dirty and broken." I was holding a red checkered shirt that a pretty doll was wearing up front. The style is like Korean. White T-shirt and black jeans.
Nathan laughed, "Father." Then she took a gorgeous white dress a little lacy elegant but minimalist in design. "What about this?"
I pointed at the dress, "Here?" I'm still gawking. This shirt, can not be called a shirt, less fabric! This dress is also Mimi's fashion dress. "That's expensive! Can get 1 truck!" I exclaimed. Then I closed my mouth because visitors were interested in hearing my complaint.
"But I'm serious. It's good."
I'm shaking. "No! Clothes lacking fabric, what good is it? The baby does not fit!"
He then nodded innocently. Watching me from top to bottom. And repeating.
"What look-look?" I pointed my two fingers closer to his eyes. Pretending to be blotting his eyes. I know, men can make mistakes when they see a lot of openings. His real example! The crazy widower.
I bite my lips. Given the sad clothes I wear, I did not have time to iron because I hurriedly collected a housing deadline that turned out the lecturer ran away. As far as I know, Nathan would rather die than wear unironed clothes.
"You wear jeans a lot."
"You too" I answered nervously. "Do you know the importance of jeans?"
"What's that?"
"People who often wear jeans will be easy to enter the genie!" my laughter melted the clumsy atmosphere.
Natan who looked serious also laughed. And finally, we didn't buy anything. My life was not destined for the mole, I preferred a local market that could fiercely and ruthlessly fight in the same bargain sellers. And I feel victorious and happy if I manage to bid.
"How about the bar?" nathan asked like he was preventing me from coming home.
"What?!" I'm yelling. All the visitors were again surprised to see us. Nathan put his index finger on his lips and whispered.
"To the bar, yuk! It's nice, lots of fun!"
I also coughed. She's confused. Then I hit my back. "Are you okay?"
"What's there usually?"
"Yes, nothing! Just have fun."
"Drink, shake, stumble, and so on?" My fingers are nimble at practicing.
"Well, that's you know! Have you been there?" Natan's face was brightly alluring.
"Damn it! Not yet! That's a scene in a western movie my office mates used to watch."
"Oh, so not yet? Yasudah this will be the first—“
I then took the rubber band in my bag. "If you take me there again, I'll shoot you with this!" I commented furiously.
"Loh, why? I mean, right, okay?" Nathan scratched his head.
Is this kid really innocent? Is it because our lives are different, therefore, that he considers this to be just a pleasure and a normal thing? I also pity. Rich people are like this! Looking happy with something pseudo— suddenly I became wise.
We finally decided to go up to the 3rd floor. To the rideshare. Ride a mini roller coaster and all the rides like ontang-anting, London-style level bus, bumper car, crazy taxi coaster, sky rider, mini train, and fishing game. All these rides were my dream since childhood. But since I was born into a mediocre family, we could only watch, and it felt like we could enjoy it. When I was a kid, I promise, someday. I'll be able to ride all the games on this ride. Even to the point of having to save from my pocket-money - and not granted, the savings money I put under Mamak's mattress, was taken away by my sister to eat meatballs.
And now Nathan has it.
"I promise I won't be going to the bar anymore" she whispered. "Will not drink, stumble, dugem."
"Because of that, I need you to keep making ingetin me, let's not forget."
"Yes, I'll take it. Just relax."
"How?"
"Yes, it's ingetin, right?" tanyaku. Miskol will stay let me remember! Or send voice noted.
Natan shook her head, "You can remind me that you are my friend. Friends in my heart.”
HAMMOCK. My body almost fell. I then quickly held on to the iron trellis.
Right too. I can be a path of kindness to Nathan. That's what Mba Lila used to say. But can I?
"I'll also help pay for your college SPP, you can take a break from Monday to Friday, stop working on a paycheck." Natan stared at the mini roller coaster that was now speeding.
Nathan....
Why do you know everything I need?
Nathan is so good. Everything's perfect. And there's nothing wrong with you, except
I can't love Nathan yet.
Nathan took my hand. Lalu—
I immediately flicked his ears. He grimaces in pain.
"Why?" tanyanya polo's.
"Why are you holding my hand?" I'm grinning. The visitors started to notice us. I'm scratching too.
He just kept quiet. Perhaps looking for answers and justifications, "Why not? There are actually a lot of girls out there who want to get this chance."
"You know Queen Elizabeth?" I was fierce, not caring about her defense and prideful attitude.
Nathan nodded.
"Look! Not just anyone can hold Queen Elizabeth's hand."
Natan nodded, "But, you, right, aren't queen Ellizabeth?"
"I? The twins! That's not it, stupid! Just think of me as her."
"Interesting.. antique...." Nathan nodded.
I then decided to go to the toilet, set my heart, and suddenly remembered Yunita's words.
"You, tuh, should be grateful. Long ago, my husband, I was chasing. Pas is cape. He finally gave up too. Lah, you. Some are chasing, really, even run. Hayok, if he does not want to chase because of a sprain, ntar can nyaho, you know!"
At that time I just laughed and thought again. Right too. The longer Nathan. If something happens how?
Two attractive women went into the toilet and repaired their make-up. I glanced at the cross.
"You think this guy has a doi yet?" said one of the nosed.
"You mean the one with the brown cardigan?" ask her slim-bodied friend.
I then guessed, the direction of their conversation was fixed on Nathan. Whoa ... Natan digosipin?!
"What's the question about whose girlfriend?"
"Yes, definitely saucy, keep it rich, fashionable."
"Yes, God, so envious. I want to."
"Will be his girlfriend?"
"Wife."
"Hush, dream!"
I swallowed spit. Why is Nathan crazy? Crazy likes me? Am I bejo? With Nathan's perfection? Like a plump durian crucifixion collapsing! Out there, girls adore him. If married to a guy who is handsome hyperbole, can you think I use pellets? Being, married to an ugly guy, was unfortunately brought
to condition.
"Old kok?" Nathan approached me. I'm shocked. Then caw. Safe atmosphere. I also invite Natan away from the girls earlier. Honestly, I'm ashamed! Shame on Nathan. Like a road maid's son the same as the master's son!
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
I'm shaking. And conscious. Nathan must know, I'm fucked. I immediately got the idea to make a joke. But, no idea!
"What if we wait for Mr. Surip there?" Natan pointed at the dimly lit large street under the lights. I didn't realize I was nodding either. "Sepi, huh?"
"Hey, what's so good about it?" I hold back the laughter. Nathan looked at me clumsy. "Yes, play jail!"
"Basic—“
"Nat, it looks like you're unemployed, but you can buy this that, what are you doing, anyway?"
Nathan laughed at the head. "Let me tell you later."
"Don't you?"
"What?" Nathan looked curious.
"Splitter!"
I laughed too. Nathan laughed too. From the end of the road, a beam of car lights began to highlight. I'm still holding back the laughter. Nathan was silent glancing at me.
"I can't wait any longer, Ri."
He's starting again! I stopped, shut up. He looks serious.
"Well, yuk, Ri!"
I'm mumbling. And like magic. I then nodded.
