Rajasa
Cheerful Forest


It is Sunday that they relax after six days of working all day.


Their working hours are only counted until Friday. Saturday is overtime.


Sunday activities are different from other days, more relaxed and freetime.


Edelweis helped his colleagues make breakfast.


They make spicy nyemek fried noodles. Coffee and tea.


Others clean the house and the rest wash the dishes and clean the house.


"I want to take you somewhere after breakfast." Rajasa thrusts his plate at Edelweis.


"Where?"


"You know too."


"All right!"


Their conversation was also more relaxed. Ngalor. Throwing stories and jokes at each other.


After breakfast, Rajasa takes Edelweis somewhere. They walk a few miles. Through the trail. Ride on a hill and come to a rock facing the abyss. Trees here and there.


"This place is so beautiful!" Edelweis laughed happily.


"I found him after a while here. Take a walk and find this place. You likey?"


"Like it!"


"You saw that...."


Edelweis looked towards Rajasa's index finger.


"Edelweiss?"


"Yes, it's you!"


Both giggle.


"What do you mean, it's me?"


Every time I feel like meeting you, I go to this place. In this place, I found you."


"The edelweis? Yeah...." Edelweis smiled slightly.


"I asked him to talk."


"really?"


"You look at me!"


Edelweis noticed the Rajasa papah.


"Hi, Edelweis! Why did you turn off my phone? You mad at me? Can you, you talk or explain through wa? Don't turn off my phone. I can't talk to you and you know what it's like?"


Edelweis laughed at Rajasa's behavior.


"That's what you do when we fight and I turn off my gadget?"


"You watch me!"


Edelweis again noticed Rajasa's behavior.


"You said you and Roy were both walking! I can't believe it! You hear me? Can't believe!!!"


Edelweis was back.


"You're so silly!"


"You're more ridiculous! I can't be jealous knowing that you and Roy are often walking together. While I'm here. Cuddling with tigers. Bringing Edelweiss flowers speaks like crazy!"


"You're mad at me?"


"No, I'm laughing at you. Yes lah! I'm mad at you!"


"Should ya talk about this?"


"Roy is like Aksa."


"What do you mean, Roy's like Aksa?"


"Friendzone."


"You think you like Roy?"


"I think so too."


Rajasa glared towards Edelweis.


"You're so fierce!"


"You're it!"


"They're very good. Understand me. What did you expect?"


"I don't understand you?"


"Eitherway! Sometimes you're like a kid."


"Are you not?"


"That's my point! Two of the children. Early marriage!"


"Not funny at all!"


"You have to admit. You have trouble understanding me while they can read me like a regular book. While you?"


"I try to understand you even if it's not easy. But I'm trying to trust you."


"That's the problem! I often can't trust you and always suspect you. Afraid you'd betray my trust. You're as happy as I am."


"Is that your mind on me?"


Edelweis nodded his head.


"I prepared something, if you'd been here."


"What's that?"


"Wait a minute!"


Rajasa walked behind the trees. He seemed to be keeping something there.


It was like a wooden box was opened. Take him out and bring him to Edelweis.


"What's this?"


He placed a crown made of leaves and twigs on the head of Edelweis.


"Make it yourself."


"really?"


"It wasn't easy. But I managed to make it."


"It's good."


"I'm glad you like it."


"I made this for you too."


Rajasa inserted a ring made of twigs into Edelweis' ring finger.


Edelweiss's eyes are heating up.


"I have nothing to give you." Follow him with a hoarse voice.


"I never asked for anything from you. I want nothing but your heart for me."


The tears of Edelweis.


"Maybe I'm not the perfect figure or the one you're expecting but my heart and soul are perfect for you!"
