Rai Universe
CHAPTER 52. The Dark Atmosphere And Deep Silence.
After lunch, the group continued their journey back to the city of Jogja and stopped by the next tourist destination, Kaliurang.
The tourist village at the foot of Mount Merapi and the cool air presents an extraordinary view. The first place they went to was a refugee bunker.
The bus is parked in a fairly distant place from the bunker. Because the road is not possible to pass by a tourist bus, so the group chose to rent jeep cars provided by the tour guide.
There, Esta did not join the group and just waited on the bus. He felt tired after hours of walking around Borobudur Temple to hunt for selfies.
Esta was sitting on a long wooden bench in the parking lot. He was enjoying the condoh salad he bought earlier on the way home from Borobudur. The sweet taste of salak makes Esta unable to stop chewing.
Not only did Esta herself choose to stay, but there were some other friends who also did not come and decided to rest.
“Ngunyah. For.” Rai stood before Esta by extending his hand.
“What?”
“Salak.” Rai. He kept his hands up.
Lazily Esta took the plastic salad and gave it to Rai. He hopes that after doing that Rai will go from there. But what happened was, Rai actually sat beside Esta.
Esta really feels offended. Why is it that when he tries to create distance, the man continues to approach him and make his heart waver?
Esta grunted softly then stood up about to leave Rai. But he was restrained by Rai who immediately prevented him from leaving by holding his wrist.
“Where are you? Here aja.” Rai Assertive. His gaze seemed to force Esta to obey him. And miraculously, Esta fell and followed the instructions.
Esta sat back in her place. Receiving the salak fruit that Rai had prepared and ate it.
“Why not go?”
“Gak. Capek.” Answer Esta briefly. He still showed his frustration to Rai.
“He's fine, right? It doesn't make you hard, does it?” Rai asked about his son's condition. Makes Esta even worse.
“Iya.”
“You're here? Want to come along?” Tanya Bu Sisil who suddenly appeared together with her husband. Ms. Sisil was only about six months married.
Indeed, not only did Ms. Sisil invite her family along, but other teachers also invited their children and their wives/husbands.
“Where are you, Buk?” Ask Esta.
“Hare Remaining Museum. See the relics of the eruption first” jaawb Bu Sisil.
“Cute bu.” Said Esta immediately. He hopes to escape from Rai.
But unfortunately, it turns out Rai also wants to come with Bu Sisil and her husband. Be the four of them renting a jeep to deliver to the museum.
Despite the scowl, Esta had no choice but to let Rai come along. He had no reason for Ms. Sisil to forbid him from joining.
The car began to walk down the narrow and moderately uphill asphalt road. Along the way, they can see the remains of houses affected by volcanic ash in the eruption of merapi in 2010 ago. Leave the chunks of buildings that have been covered by grass and trees. Leave a gloomy atmosphere and deep sadness.
Esta, Rai, Ms. Sisil and her husband immediately got out of the car. They were accompanied by a car driver who served as their tour guide. The driver began to explain one by one what was there.
Starting from the end room that contains photos when the eruption occurred. Along with other household items that have been consumed by ash.
Not finished touring, but Ms. Sisil and her husband decided to split up. The couple went downstairs to take pictures. While Esta sat in the hut while enjoying her ordered orange ice. While the driver went somewhere.
Esta looked at Rai who was walking towards her. It seemed like the man had just finished taking some photos and was approaching Esta. Esta stroked the cat that fell asleep next to her feet. Distracting his attention from Rai.
“Got in?” Ask Rai.
Esta shook her head with her mouth tightly locked.
“Seru you know inside. But goosebumps too see his stuff.” Show Rai.
Esta is not pinched. He focused on finishing his orange ice. Only then did he stand up and go for a look.
Not staying silent. Rai immediately followed Esta behind him. Waiting near the door while Esta went around the room to see one after another of the photos on display there.
Esta whines. He was engrossed in looking at the photos when he did not realize that he was heading to the display of objects on the side of the room. As a result, his foot tripped the table leg and made him almost fall.
Deftly Rai immediately grabbed Esta's hand. Fortunately, he grabbed it. Otherwise, Esta would have fallen to the floor.
A second later, Esta was already in Rai's arms. It froze for the next few seconds. It was as if he could hear the sound of his own heart beating uncharacteristically.
“Apaan anyway!” Esta snorted while releasing herself and pushed Rai's body away from her.
“Be careful dong. If why, how to try?”
Rai's worried. But what Esta caught was that Rai was worried about her son, not her.
“You're okay, right?” Rai asked who was flipping through Esta's body while holding her arm.
“Leasin! Why the hell hold everything?!” Esta gets upset and leaves Rai.
Rai is getting confused. Why is Esta always angry with herself? Actually what mistakes have he done so that Esta difficult to forgive him? What is the effect of pregnancy?
“Ta? Rai? Come, back. The others have also returned. This is us to hotel.” Call Miss Sisil.
“Iya, Buk.” Answer Rai.
Even all the way home, Esta still locked her mouth tightly. He was even reluctant to be next to Rai and continued to stick to Bu Sisil. He invited Bu Sisil to chat anything until Rai had no gap to interfere.
At 17.09 wib, all groups had gathered at the parked bus. After all boarding their respective buses, the bus immediately headed to the hotel around Malioboro.
Tour guide deliberately chose the hotel so that students can all walk around Malioboro.
At the hotel, the students are divided into many rooms. The average room in one room is filled by 2 people of the same sex.
Esta went to a room with a classmate named Putri. The teary-eyed and quiet girl was very friendly to Esta. He asked a lot about Esta and Akash's relationship. Yes, the Princess asked more about Akash.
