Oh My Cecunguk
Will you be my lover?

After paying for a taxi, I walked into the Mall. The curlicue of the clock that coiled around my wrist. The new clock shows at seven past forty-one minutes. If I'm usually late, this time I arrive sooner. There's still plenty of time left. There's about twenty minutes. That's if Jordi comes on time. If the male is molested from the specified hour, it will certainly increase in time.

The Mall is pretty crowded tonight. Maybe because it's Sunday night. So many young people and also the families go for a walk just to unwind. After one week, not with work or other activities.

For me, this is the first time I'm back out on a Sunday night. After a few months it never went out at night. After Alia and Kevin's wedding.

Even though Kevin and I are back in a relationship. But the two of us never met outside. Usually we just spend time together in my room, or in her apartment. The reason we have never met outside is of course to avoid people who know us, or vice versa. Yeah, me and Kevin are back in love secretly. As much as possible, be very careful that our relationship is not smelled by anyone. Especially Alia and our parents.

After passing through several shops and also looking at the exhibition in the main lobby. I decided to go up to the fourth floor. Find a seat and order a drink to fill the throat that begins to feel dry. Waiting for Jordi there. Instead of having to circle around the Mall alone.

With the help of the elevator, I went up to the fourth floor. Along with some other visitors. Then walk to one of the shops that sell various drinks and snacks today. Such as Waffle, Crepes, Churos and others.

"Teh pull it, sister," said a waitress when delivering my order.

"Please enjoy," he added, kindly.

"Thank you" I said, smiling. Waitress returned to her workplace. Serving other visitors who also order food or drinks at the store.

I sip the drink bit by bit. The sweet taste is just right, according to my taste. Not sweet and not too bland. The mixture of ice cubes in it makes the typical Malay tea feel so refreshing, when touching my dry throat. I sip it once more. Enjoy that drink again. Accompanied by the accompaniment of beautiful acoustic music.

I turned my head for a while, looking at the vocalist who had a melodious voice mengayu-dayu. His face was not so handsome, but his voice was able to anesthetize the dozens of pairs of eyes watching the stage action.

When I was satisfied to see it, I looked around. Watching some unfamiliar faces. Until I finally stopped looking, when my eyes collided with a pair of eyes that had a black bead. I immediately put my face down. Biting my lower lip, feeling embarrassed.

To divert it I busied myself by playing a cell phone. Feeling still in notice, I turned back to the right, glancing at the man again. When I looked at him, the man looked back at me. We returned to look at. He smiled, then rolled one eye at me.

I immediately turned around, ignoring the flirtatious man earlier. What a strange man, I grumbled in my heart. At first glance I feel familiar with his face. Like I've seen that guy before. But I'm not so sure.

"Alea ...," call someone. I turned my face to the right and to the left, alternating. Look for the source of the voice calling me. Then smiled as he saw Jordi waving at me.

With long steps, Jordi walked up to me. "I'm sorry I'm a little late" he said as he got close to me.

"It's okay I just arrived, too" I said lying.

"What do you want to drink, sir? Let me order it," I asked.

"It's not an office, Lea-why so formal," he chanted as he sat on a chair, opposite me.

I chuckled "Sorry, sorry. Just kidding."

"Well to drink or eat what, Di?"

"Well, that's why you call him. Do not continue sir," he said sumringah.

"Yes, yes" I said give up.

"So what message do you want?" my question, again.

"It's not necessary, Le. Let me order it myself," he said.

"What do you want, Le? Let's all."

"Emm ... beef burger aja, deh, Di," I said after a moment of thought.

"OKs. Wait here for a minute, yeah," he said.

I nodded, assuring. As long as Jordi is gone, I'm back checking around. Some visitors seem to be declining. And the people by my side were seen coming and going, alternating.

Five minutes later Jordi came with a tray of some food and drinks. He put the tray on the table. Then sit back in his chair. "Please eat, Lea," he said.

"Thank you" I said. I reached out, picked up my burger served on the tray. Then a small bite on the tip.

"Nake no, Le? The burger," asked Jordi between meals.

"Lumayan," I said, giving a judgment. "Good-juicy meat. But baby, the bread is a little dry. Less soft," I said.

"If mine's better, Le. The meat is equally soft bread. Everything fits. You want to try mine?"

I'm shaking. "It's not, Di. Mine's not too bad either, really, it feels," I explained.

"Oh, okay."

"Oh yes, Di. After eating we move places huh?"

"Why is that, Le? It's good enough to hang out here."

"I feel a little uncomfortable." I leaned forward. Closer to Jordi. "You look to the left for a moment, look at the man in the black shirt, who wears a small chain necklace and earrings on his ear" I whispered, quietly.

Jordi obeyed my instructions. He looked over, looking at the man I meant, for a moment. After that, I looked back at me.

"You mean that Cecunguk?" tanyakanya.

"Disappearance?"

"Yes. The sneak that last week made a fuss in the restaurant, when we had lunch," Jordi explained.

"Well, I'm kind of familiar with her face. But I forgot where I was, " I said.

"Since the sneak looked at me constantly, I became uncomfortable if constantly noticed," I said.

Jordi turned back to her left, staring at the sneaky look. Jordi had caught Cecunguk looking at Alea. But Berandal immediately turned away as he and Jordi looked at each other.

Jordi looked back at Alea. "You're right. He's still staring at you.

"Then after we finish eating we move, huh?"

I nodded in agreement. "Oh yeah-he said there's something you want to tell me? what is it, Di?" I said as I remembered our purpose for meeting tonight.

Jordi looks a little nervous. "Emm-it ... That's ...."

"That's what, Di?" many confused.

"I'll say it later, when we get home," Jordi said at last.

What is it, what the hell does he want to say? Curious, only.

"Ok, if that's it."

A few moments later. After finishing eating, Jordi and I walked around the Mall, looking through some clothing and shoe shops. Many times Jordi offered me to buy clothes or bags, he would pay for them. But I kept refusing. Until we finally decided to watch a movie.

We watched a horror movie that was being talked about on social media. The movie is pretty good, I think. The flow is fast and not boring. It didn't feel like two hours had passed and the movie was over.

"Where are we going now, Le?" jordi asked after we got out of the cinema.

I glanced at the clock in my hand for a moment. Then he looked at the man who walked with me. "It's late .. Can I go home now?" tanyaku carefully.

"Sure," said Jordi, smiling.

"I'll take you, '" he added.

"It's not, Di. I can go home by myself" I said.

"As you say, Lea. It's been a night-it's not good a woman came home alone. If someone is following you, how?"

"But it'll trouble you, Di. If you have to drive me first."

"I don't feel bothered at all, really, Le. Just relax."

"Yes, then. It's up to you."

We both walked to the basement, where Jordi's car was parked. Jordi opened the door for me. Then closed the door again after I entered and placed my body in the front seat. After that he walked around the front of the car and got into the car. He sat next to me, right in front of the steering wheel. He put his seat belt on first. After that, start the engine and run the vehicle. Leaving the Mall area at moderate speed.

Throughout the trip we talked about many things. Some of them talk about the movie we saw. While the rest is about work and also chat that is not important.

We drove not so long. It only takes about fifteen minutes. Because the location of the Mall with my residence is not too far away.

Jordi pulled over her car in front of the little alley I used to walk through. Then turn off the engine because the car has arrived. I removed the seat belt that was coiled in front of my body. "Thank you for everything, Di," I said because I've been given a meal and also watched.

"Together, Leah," he said, smiling.

"Oh yeah, said there's something you want to say?" ask me before getting out of the car.

"What's that?" imbuhku.

Jordi's face turned tense. He changed his sitting position, leaning to the left side, facing me.

"Alea ...," she called out in a soft voice.

"Yes" I said, growing curious.

I was a little shocked as Jordi's hands grabbed both of my palms. I looked at him and Jordi looked back at me.

"It's been a long time since I've kept a taste in you, Le. Even when you were with your ex-boyfriend" he said.

I'm speechless. This time I knew what it meant. Even though he has not finished his sentence.

"I like you, Alea," he said later. As expected.

"Will you be my lover? I promise not to hurt or betray you."

Seriate....

How did Alea react? Will he accept Jordi's love and move on from Kevin? Wait for the answer in the next chapter.
