Our Long Story
Chapter 16's

"Yeah, Bas, it's still lo" Lian's friend commented as soon as she got out of the bathroom and still found Baskara dealing with some roses, the man is going home today, he deliberately assembled a bouquet for the lover—Rania. The problem is that Baskara has watched several tutorials on arranging roses on youtube several times since he woke up, until it will be eight but the flower has not been arranged, as a good friend, as well, obviously Lian advised the man to just buy it, because Lian was also not good at assembling flowers.

"Lu mah gegayan anyways." the man then sat down, then took a stalk that Baskara had.

"After the cave, you rarely give something like gini to a girl, at best you just give her food, inget lo soan same day what day she was grateful, Bas."

Simply put, Baskara is not a romantic man, it's just that he is full of attention, and the little things he often does that make Rania love him even more, Baskara never gives Rania flowers in their most important days, Baskara never surprises with sweet background like other couples, the man is much simpler than you think.

"I don't know why the cave has been scared lately" said Baskara half-smilingly, after he had been silent for a long time.

"Fear that Rania was taken? Afraid there's anything better than you in treating him?"

"much. I'm afraid of a lot of things about him."

"Lo again tired times, not usually people like to overthinking." Recalling the past few days they were very busy, so Lian thought, it seems like Baskara is indeed exhausted.

"And every time I come to the same fears, I don't think about how Rania at all, I'm busy thinking about myself, I'm busy thinking about my feelings. Fuck isn't it?"

"Suckhead." This time Lian laughed.

"But isn't that human?" tanyanya.

"Isn't that natural for our human size?"

"Lo was afraid of him being with others, without exception that he would be with a much better person than you, even though you still loved him very much, and even though, he was, you should have been a little happier for him, but Man, it must have been a messy feeling."

"That's the cave question now, Yan."

"What do I really not accept? Losing Rania because I love her so much? Or is it the mess that I feel after the loss itself?"

"Maybe both. Maybe you're not just afraid of him leaving, maybe you're also afraid that you can't cope with your own feelings later."

°°°

About six years ago, through the department store that Baskara always visited every time he finished afternoon sports with his friends. At that time Baskara stopped by alone because the others first went home, first pushing the door of the department store, the smell of green apples that burst out but calmed in one moment immediately greeted him, as usual, as usual, and when he looked at the cashier's mass, the cashier's mass immediately gave the widest smile, not a greeting smile, the smile had the meaning of feeling guilty, seeing Baskara's shoulder suddenly limp.

"I guess, there's definitely nothing."

Yes, definitely something he would look for does not exist.

"Mas, did I say yesterday, I really like the same mint-flavored ice cream yesterday, but why does the stock not exist? I'm a loyal customer here!"

Mint ice cream?

"There's one girl, really she's the same mint-flavored ice cream, just like you, every day here must be ranting to me, protesting, he said why there's no stock at all." Mas Danan—the cashier guard had told Baskara about one of the girls who often look for the taste of mint ice cream yesterday—exactly when the convenience store was quiet, so they could chat outside, so they could chat outside, and that woman—what is she that Mas Danan max?

"I told you before, ice cream that taste is rare mbak, rarely there because the fans are a little, here only two people buy, you are the same he tuh!"

The designated one is sculpted.

Whahuh?

Lv? ask Baskara to himself.

"Yeah's oath!"

Angry again dong him.

The abis came out, and glared just like that, making Mas Danan sigh very long.

"Who's the?" And as soon as Baskara approached, Mas Danan looked at him tiredly.

"That's what I'm maxing out, a girl with strange tastes, who if I come here would say I mulu, any other taste would exist, really complicated."

"It's not strange, if he's weird, I'm also weird dong?"

"Yes, you're both weird."

"Anjirr."

"Part of bang, taste can not be imposed."

"You going away? Don't buy anything?"

"Gue buy this already." Baskara showed two of her favorite taro-flavored ice creams, second only to the definite mint flavor.

After that he came out, but unexpectedly, the girl was still around the street there. Baskara did not know what made her legs approach the woman, until the women turned their heads once they had walked side by side.

"Why not try a new taste? Not to replace the mint in the first order you like, just make a replacement if there is no mint, just make a replacement when you are sad and you can not find the mint, just make a replacement when you are sad and you can not find the mint, you can find another taste, which also matches your tongue who knows."

The girl was still silent, not saying anything, making Baskara comment on her thin smile.

"As long as the mint stock is not there yet, I'm busy looking for other flavors that fit in my tongue, and this is somehow the taste that I have."

"Feasy? You've never done taro before?"

"Not yet, do you want to try?"

Then the last one, then,

"My name is Baskara."

"Ahh, yes, I'm Rania."

"Thank you, the taste of the taro is good."

"Ready."

But let Baskara mark, to this day, mint for Rania has not been replaced by any flavor, Mint still has the most space in the girl's life than any other flavor they've ever tried.

It seems not far from Baskara itself, because even today, his favorite ice cream is still mint.

°°°

"So, according to most people, mint is weird." Rania muttered softly by bribing a scoop of mint ice cream that Baskara had just bought.

"The world is talking like that I also do not say, still like," said Baskara next to him.

Makes the girls laugh slowly.

"I am too."

"Also what?"

"Also don't care about people's opinions about mint."

"No, not at all?"

The girl laughed even more this time, then she actually greeted Baskara's hand excitedly.

"Now I ask you, answer honestly yes but."

"What?"

"Well, where do I like what kind of mint ice cream do you usually buy?"

"If I say 'you', believe me?"

"No."

"Jude."

"Hhh what? That aja?"

But Baskara is Baskara.

So in the next second Rania just laughed and rubbed the young man's hair slowly.

"But I also prefer you, suer!"

"Believe" said the man.
