Prison of Love
Love Radar


#8


Shinta is right, problems will only feel heavy when lived, but after we get through it, we will feel proud half to die to ourselves.


Like me now.


I told Shinta proud of what happened yesterday afternoon. It's bragging about me who's been able to dump Andy twice.


Yep. Twice. Ah, what an amazing taste.


It felt very satisfied to see his confused face when I left the large package in his hand. Without rejection, without resistance.


Checkmate!


"Uuuhhh... my friend called hebaattt...” Shinta stroked my head.


“Proud of not having a best friend like me?”


“Dih, please mah yes..!”


I patted Shinta's shoulder hard, “Ih you are fine..!”


Shinta laughs. He pulled my head and pulled it towards his armpit. The more I screamed, the more he laughed.


“I think I want to stop dating first..”


Shinta sneered then relaxed her pull, “Halaahh...! Yaakiiinnn..??”


I pulled my body back and put my head on the table, positioning my face towards Shinta,


“It's hard to believe again men, Ta. I think all men are the same.”


“Eh, who said samaa? I'm not the same..!”


Hengky suddenly sat next to me, “Nayaa....Naya Beautifulkkk..”


“Hummm..


Maybe because it was commonplace, I didn't even bother looking at him. I've memorized it out of my head. Surely at this time he was looking at me with a smile and also his eyes.Yes, his narrow eyes were blinked repeatedly.


“Liat here doongg, Nayaaa..”.


“What siiih, Ky..” I replied ogah-ogahan.


"Siniii...see hereii..”.


Half had to look. I was wrong, he was not blinking his eyes. His eyes led me towards the paper writing he was holding,


...COURTING YUK?...


“Males, ah!”


Shinta laughed out loud. He shook his head in astonishment, “Move On, Ky! Crazy already from the first semester you shot Naya but rejected teruuss. No kapok-kapok huh?”


Hengky's face flushed in embarrassment. Her white skin had trouble hiding the red hue on her cheeks.


“Yaa.. his name is also business, Taa..”.


Some of the people around me laughed. Cheering teased Hengky who made his face red.


I smile. She's hilarious.


"Oppaaa... hereiii same me ajaaa...!” Alfian shouted from the corner of the classroom.


“Look for gasss!!”


Hengky immediately ran towards Alfian and tried to hug him. Alfian screamed hysterically. He screamed for Hengky to get away from his body.


The class was filled with laughter.


I shook my head while laughing softly.


It's not that I don't like Hengky.


But it feels weird to be dating a classmate. It feels like there is no privacy. There's nothing I can hide.


Hengky is often called Oppa by friends. His white stature, height, narrow eyes but look firm, and also a Korean curtain cut haircut further reinforce his call.


In contrast to Andy who looks cool and charismatic, Hengky is more humorous and outspoken.


I don't know how many girlfriends she had mistaken for. Because Hengky is easy to get close and familiar, many have already fallen in love but ended up disappointed.


Suddenly I thought, am I lucky to be liked by him?


“Naya...NO! I know what else you're thinking! NO Nayaaa's... BIG NO!!!”


Shinta had already nudged my shoulder, her gaze full of intimidation.


It was hard to hide anything from him. I laughed and nodded back at her shoulder,


“You open the front stand of the campus building! It fits so shady!”


...-----------------------------------------------------...


“Why don't you get me Hengky?” ask me without looking at Shinta who is driving a car.


Our plan will go to the Regional Library. There was an assignment from the lecturer that required us to look for some books.


Shinta pulled the corner of her lips, without taking her eyes off the steering screen, she shrugged her shoulders casually, “Don't know. Yaaa... feeling aja siiih..”


“Shintaa.. seriously doonggg”.


Shinta laughed softly, she turned her head then pulled out her tongue, teasing me.


“Hengky funny loh in fact..” I lowered my tone of voice, hoping that Naya would not hear what I said.


“Don't be fooled by a humorous guy, Nay. They're more psychopathic than you think!”


The sense of Shinta's listener is really amazing. I didn't expect him to hear my words.


“Sama like we want to eat again, Ta. We will not know what food is good if we do not try. Likewise by starting a relationship, we..”.


“IYAAA, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO TRY ANDY, ENAAKK?!”


Shinta cut my sentence. The intonation of his voice clearly indicates that he disagrees with my words.


I'm speechless. Shinta's right. I bear the tremendous consequences of just trying.


Shinta's words always kept me quiet. Maybe because he's the student with the highest GPA in our department, the words that come out of his mouth are always on target and silence his interlocutors.


“I've done it, Nay. Do not be fooled by Hengky.”.


“Iya..iyaaa..


“Don't just ya-iya dooanggg! Infused my sentence! Outboard well in your memory!”


"Yes, Bawelll! Yes...!”


Shinta laughs. He looked at me and blinked his right eye.


I know there's nothing wrong with Shinta. But somehow, from earlier always imagined the face of Hengky. Something unusual.


Whereas for more than two years, my heart was immune to responding to her seduction.


But why does it feel different now?


...------------------------------------...


When we arrived at the library, we separated. This is our favorite place.


Shinta and I could spend up to three hours without us knowing.


The same hobby really brings us together.


We both like to write. I write novels while Shinta writes poetry. Sometimes we exchange the results and the results make us equally astonished.


I was astonished how he could write such an extraordinary meaning in just a few words, whereas he was astonished how I could write so many words.


With the same taste in clothes, the same taste in music, the same taste in food, even the same taste in makeup, it is not uncommon for many people to think that I and Shinta are sisters.


Even after hearing such words, he would nag say no to be similar to me.


I know he's joking and I love him so much.


I was drifting with the book I was reading when I suddenly faintly heard a knock on the window of the Library.


I didn't listen at first, but why was his voice so clear?


Inevitably I turned my head towards the source of the voice, my eyes widened in shock when I saw Hengky was sticking his face on the Glass, forming a strange face shape. But funny.


I laughed but hurriedly held my laughter by shutting my mouth.


"Hey, what's there?” ask me without making a sound.


Hengky smiled widely, he pointed towards the door, “I went there huh?”


I replied with a slow nod, my eyes busy looking for Shinta's whereabouts. When Shinta couldn't find it, I breathed a sigh of relief.


“Why can you be here?” I asked when Hengky was next to me.


"Radarku said that you were here”


“What radar??”


“Radar kintakuuuu..” replied with giggling.


I tilted my head, looking at him while giving the meaning that it wasn't funny.


“I'm back for a book, Nay..” Hengky stared at the neatly arranged books, his hands as if he was busy choosing.


"O yeah? What book?”


"Book guide to open your heart to me”


"Sengky! Seriously deh..”.


He laughed softly and turned his body towards me, “I'm serious, Naya..”.


His eyes looked at me, a serious gaze corresponding to the sentence that came out of his mouth.


“We'll talk next time... I'm not in the mood to talk about problems like gini..”.


“Other times you have more than once, Nayaa. When summed up, you have been told one hundred and ninety-four times like that”


I frown, “You count??”


“Iya dongg!!”


"SSTTTT!!” some visitors gave code to Hengky to be silent, his eyes were upset, disturbed.


Hengky close the tip of his index finger and thumb, give the meaning of the word ‘Okey’ and then smile at the person who reprimanded him.


“Love me a chance, Naya... I know Shinta doesn't agree that you're deketing me but Please... Please give me a chance..”.


I'm speechless. Two opinions are in my mind. Some refused, some supported.


“Yes? Yeah, Nay, huh? Please...” Hengky clenched his hands together, pleading.


“I just give you a chance to prove yes? Not a chance for us to date. Your job is only to prove, the end result let me determine”


“YES!!” Hengky screamed happily.


“Ssssttttt...!!!” the sound of reprimand this time was louder.


A security guard seemed to be walking towards us, I suddenly panicked, asking Hengky to leave.


“Your words earlier you can't unplug yes, Nay...!” hengky whispered to me before the guards approached him.


Even as he walked towards the door accompanied by the security guard, he stopped his steps, then turned to me,


“NAYAAA!! I LOVE YOU!!!”


Hengky shouted out loudly. Leaving me frozen alone, not believing what I saw.


All eyes looked at me, from afar I saw Shinta walking quickly towards me, from the sight of her eyes it was clear she was angry.


Okay.


The moment she heard Shinta's nagging back.
