I had expected that Hengky's car would be parked in front of the Kosan gate once I arrived. Considering that I left in a hurry without caring for her screams, it was certain that now she would be angry with me.
Sure enough, he was already sitting in front of Kosan, with eyes filled with annoyance while pretending not to see my arrival.
As if without feeling guilty, I smiled and then rubbed his arm, “Have long been here?”
“Ngapain you to the girl's place?!”
“Cuman just talk..”.
Hengky snorted in annoyance, “You think it's polite to just leave without saying goodbye to me?”
“You're angry huh?” I brought my face closer to her, played an eye.
“Who tried not to get angry? Later your fitting habits have become my wife and I can be rude like that!” Hengky was still grumbling in annoyance.
“Sorry, Dear..”.
“Hmm..”
“Ehm... Did you say you were a wife? Your wife?”
“Hmmm.
I held back the laughter of seeing her face turn red. His nose that is deflated clearly indicates he is not angry but held by it. The male prestige is indeed extraordinary.
“Honey have eaten?” I said while playing with her hair
"Have.”
“I haven't..”
“Ya eat there loh..”
Justjust wonderful. He still kept the same tone of voice from the start. A cold voice and pretending not to care.
I grabbed my bag and stood up.
Hengky immediately pulled my hand, “Where are you going?”
“You eat. He said he was told to eat.”
“So want to leave me alone here?”
I blinked my eyes, then smiled idly, “Ooh.... have not craved again?”
Hengky quickly threw away the face, hiding the laughter that almost escaped.
Oh, my God, why is he so funny?
“Sayang... temenin I ate yuk..”.
Without waiting for my words twice, Hengky immediately stood up, “Why not talk from earlier anyway?” he said while pretending to be annoyed and then walked first, ahead of me.
Intentionally teasing her, I did not follow her steps. I want to see how he reacts.
Realizing that I was still standing at my place, he immediately turned his body, “Ayook...!”.
“Ngood by the way dong... friendly...”.
“Buruan! Said laper..”.
“Sayang... let's spit. I'm eating, yuk.”
I laughed satisfied. While Hengky immediately turned his body running in a hurry towards his car, pretending not to hear my laughter.
...----------------------------...
A very busy campus activity saved me from over-thinking which almost slowly killed me.
I no longer cry at night or bawl alone in class at empty hours. The density of the schedule busied my mind, distracting me from going through a long day.
I deliberately registered as a lecturer assistant, registered as the chairman of the KKN group and many other activities.
My goal is only one, I don't want to be drawn into grief or disappointment that only leads to loss. If anyone loses, then that person can't be me.
KKN activities for almost two months I really enjoy.
Mingle with new people, blend with the community, hold social activities. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the whole process.
How not? This introverted me managed to defeat my fear and anxiety towards the crowd.
And of course, Hengky with his money and wide connections was able to choose whichever group he liked. You guys must have guessed it, he won't let me far from his reach.
The last encounter with Shinta made the negative emotions just vanish from my mind.
I no longer feel sad and disappointed. To my amazement, I found myself progressing better without him.
Either Shinta has moved campus or quit college, but none of us have heard from her again. It suddenly disappeared, disappeared in the swallow of the earth.
Once upon a time Hengky and I deliberately passed in front of his house. Quiet without occupants. Even the garden on the front porch is filled with weeds, many dry leaves are falling and the porch lights are always on.
I don't really care where he and his family are going.
Until one afternoon, there was an incoming message on my phone,
...Are you enjoying your life, Naya?...
...Enjoy it while you can, before Hell begins to drown your laughter....
Hengky who was at that time beside me asked me not to care about the message. He simply copied the number and patted me on the shoulder, saying that everything would be fine.
Three nights later, a similar message came back in, though,
...How are you, Naya?...
...Ready to receive a new surprise?...
Actually I'm not so dizzy. But the one that worries me, Shinta knows the contact number of Abah or Mother, she also knows my email password. Even though I changed the password, but still, it worries me. A man as smart as himself, what he cannot do if he is determined.
And this morning, when I woke up to the ringing of a cell phone that would not stop, I realized that not everyone learned from their mistakes.
Some are busy blaming others for the misfortunes that occur in his life as if forgetting to momentarily stand in front of the glass, reflecting.
Yep. My fear is proven. Looks like Shinta hacked my social media accounts.
While taking a deep breath, I read the screenshot story from my social media last night. Nisa sent it to me.
...I can't sleep nich. Usually in a male kelon but this malem is deserted.......
...Who would want to bring me this malem? Free really....
