Prison of Love
Zuppa Soups

64

The trip back to Kosan this time felt very long. Though the distance of the Campus and Kosan I not too far. It's just that with an atmosphere like this makes time feel very slow.

The end of the conversation in the Canteen was very disturbing indeed. I was busy blaming myself for not telling Hengky everything about my real life. I forget, if I hide a lot of secrets, I have to have a capable backup if everything is suddenly chaotic like that.

Because of course, no matter how good information Hengky got, it would not be as good as information from my own mouth. That informant couldn't possibly tell her about Abah and Mother's rules that oblige me to always dress syar’i, right?

For the part Abah did not approve of me dating, maybe Hengky already knew it directly from Abah's mouth when he accidentally met Abah at my boarding house the other day, but the other important part, ah, I should have told him everything.

The shadow that Joseph had just confidently confessed that I also liked him made me shudder in horror. I do not know what the meaning of his words were so sudden that I did not find the right sentence other than answering, he said,

“Did Brother start losing his memory? When did I say I liked Brother? It seems like my common sense still works well by not going to like my own Cousin Brother.”

Andy who at that time did not know that Joseph was my Cousin Brother successfully gawking, he was busy asking me how could we be cousins while we lived on a different island.

I'm already caught off guard near Joseph or Andy just answered ketus, “Since when should my fellow brothers live next door?”

Hengky who understood that I was getting uncomfortable, immediately took his bag and then said briefly, “Let me drive home, Naya.”

And here we are now. Busy with each other's thoughts and let silence rule over us. I haven't even had time to ask why Joseph was suddenly on our campus.

Yeah, that's the most important part. Why didn't I just ask you earlier?

“You want to eat again, sweetheart?”

“Thanks God, finally you want to talk to me..” I said with a laugh.

“Loh, I guess you who no longer want to be taught say..” Hengky smiled widely, he pulled my hand and rubbed it gently, “Shock earlier suddenly there was a man?”

“Banget! I'm confused to say what.”

“You want to tell me while eating your favorite steak?”

I looked into Hengky's eyes while putting on a adoring face, “Where am I without you huh, dear? Don't be perfect gini dong, honey. Later I will have a hard time moving on if you leave me.”

“Hus! Istighfar! That remark do’a loh.”

“Astaghfirullah. sorry, Darling. My life of too many surprises made me feel anxious about happiness. Does God think I don't even deserve it?”

“Bayangin if you watch a movie that contains happy momentsaaa continues, without problems, without contradiction of heart, will do a lot right? So too with life. You will appreciate the slightest happiness more when you experience many exams.”

Hengky clasped my hand without turning his eyes to the steering screen, “So want to eat his steak?”

Without hearing my answer Hengky already knew, I would never reject my favorite tenderloin steak in any icon. Smiling, he turned the steering wheel.

------------------------------------

“What the..!”

Hengky's jaw hardened, he clenched his hand and then pulled my hand out of the Resto.

I comply. God's scenario really kept us from thinking, painstakingly avoiding Andy and Joseph at the Canteen but instead meeting them back at the Restaurant.

Hengky pretended not to hear, he continued walking while pulling my hand.

“Come, Ky! Don't be a little boy dong!”

Hengky's footsteps stopped, he breathed an upset, “I'm like a little kid or a minus-receptive big brother?”

“I don't understand, why are you so sensitive gini, anyway? It's just Yusuf loh, Brother Cousin Naya!”

I who had just been silent suddenly joined ignited to hear the words of Andy who belittled the actions of Hengky. Irritatedly I turned around and stared intently at his eyes,

“I think Brother pinter loh. But just to realize the situation is full of red alarm sound alone, Big Brother does not understand?”

“Alarm? What's the alarm, Naya? The alarm will only sound if there is something you hide from Hengky,” Andy grinned, “Or is it true that Yusuf said earlier?”

Hengky turned around while taking a pissed breath, “For God’s sake! Let's get rid of this shitty sikon, Naya.”

Hengky took my hand and walked over to Joseph's table. Judging from his breath going up and down, I knew he was trying to control his emotions at the moment.

“Naya? Oh my God, we'll see you again!”

Joseph welcomed me sumringah. He hurriedly stood up intending to pull the chair for me but Hengky had already done it for me. Disappointed, he sat back in his chair.

Andy who followed us laughed crisply, “If the soul mate is not where ya. We avoid the Canteen, uh meet here.”

“Ya and I will not be surprised again if suddenly we meet you at the Bookstore, Coffee Shop near the cost of Naya or in the Old Market,” Hengky's tone sounds sharp. He is obviously insinuating Andy at the moment. Andy knows where our subscription places to eat, so the presence of Andy and Yusuf here is definitely Andy's.

Hengky folded his legs then put his hands on the back of my chair, “But take it easy, I will be very happy to serve our special guest today.”

“Guest? Oh, I'm definitely not a guest here. I'm a friend of Andy and Brother Se..”.

“Please... please stop calling your own self as Brother Cousin Naya,” Hengky cut off Joseph's sentence, he raised next to his eyebrows, “If you are that close to Naya, then you will be, you will surely know that Naya is studying here and will not be surprised to see her this afternoon.”

A waiters full of body and tanned skin approached us. he smiled kindly while asking what food we would order.

Andy was just about to open his mouth when Joseph confidently said, “Let me buy today. You want any messages? Oh yes Naya, you still like zuppa soup?”

“Zuppa? Didn't you say amused by the texture of the creamy zuppa soup?” Andy frowned, “Yes right?”

I'm nodding.

“Eh? Weird, first..” Joseph looked confused.

“Yusuf, C’mon.. You last saw Naya when? Even those of us who are outsiders to Naya alone know such a basic thing.you should not constantly brag about yourself as Naya's cousin,” Andy laughed. He patted Joseph on the shoulder while shaking his head.

“Okay, Brother. We ordered the steak tenderloin four yes. His meat is obligatory well done. Because our idol hates meat that is not so mature. Ah yes, and the mineral water is four.”

The waiters repeated our order and walked away after asking us to wait a few minutes.

Hengky smiled seeing Andy firmly make Joseph not wart anymore. I began to doubt, actually what does Andy mean to invite us to gather like this?
