Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
31. Night Market and Fireworks

Sunday night came, and Rapa was handsome with a black shirt combined with a jacket, black jeans slightly torn on the knee as well as black adidas sneakers. Clara herself was annoyed to see her brother who had not used to stand in front of the mirror, whether what the man saw until sometimes the rarity sounded, then her brother would speak and praise himself.

“Bang, already. I'm afraid that over time, you even go crazy really.”

“Gue handsome yet, Dek?” tanya Rapa turned to face Clara who was lying on her bed.

“Udah Bang, handsome,” said Clara in a lazy tone. “Buruan deh lo go, my eyes perih see the behavior alay lo,” he continued wagging hands, expel his brother

“OK, I'm leaving now. Bye-bye ugly sister, enjoy Sunday night single lo.” Said Rapa who then landed a brief kiss on the left cheek of his dear sister, before then waltzing away leaving Clara alone.

While playing the car keys in his hand, Rapa went down the stairs one by one while humming. Pandu who had just returned from the kitchen looked at his son from top to bottom, judging Rapa's appearance.

“Where are you going, Bang?” ask Pandu.

“Date dong. Yes, at night Sunday is still at home, single macem aja,” said Rapa who then got a blow from Lyra who had been behind him for some time.

“It seems like a weekly night, kayak has money anyway, Bang.”

“Punya dong, yesterday night 'kan Brother work, Bun."

“What work? Working people?”

“Whatever, how did Mother. Bye, Brother wants to go on a date with bidadari.” Rapa breezed away as soon as she finished forcibly shaking the back of her father and bund's hands.

“Don't go home nights, Bang!” lyra shouted quite deafening Pandu's ears that were still standing next to her.

“Iya Mother. I'll be home in the morning, relax.”

“Aish, mom and son alike, doyan screaming!” Pandu spoke slowly, but still his wife's ears could hear and a jewel finally Pandu got.

“Not that I am happy if Mother screams, usually also ask Mother to scream louder,” said Lyra so release her jewelry.

“Not to be tempted, if not the intention to give thanks!" grunts Pandu who then went from before his wife.

Lyra herself laughed, satisfied that she had managed to upset her husband. I don't know since the first time it was very nice to make Pandu pout, even though he was not young anymore, but still Lyra felt anxious.

Rapa was about to honk for the security guard to open the gate, but Cleona first came out with a sweet smile that always made Rapa forget herself, even now it makes Rapa not aware that her lover has several times knocked on her car window, asking to be opened the key.

“For so long anyway,” he said with a frown.

“Sorry dear, Brother is too fascinated with your smile.”

Rapa's answer successfully made Cleona's cheeks flushed. “Don't gombalin Queen keep, Bang, later Queen fly,”

“Nothing, anyway will fly him into the arms of Brother,” reply Rapa with flirtatious blink of an eye. “O yes, how are you in front? Brother is not saying goodbye to mami and papi,” said Rapa as soon as he just drove his car.

“Nothing really, this is also at the request of my mother, because again not listening to the debate brother same papi,” said Cleona convey what she had said earlier.

“Emang deh only the most understanding mami, know invite if his children want to enjoy longer time.”

“But, earlier mami also said, go home do not forget to buyin martabak at the crossroads, the greentea and special.”

“Emang always like this in the end!" rapa said lethargicly.

The rest of the trip is filled with other exciting chats, then sing as soon as the song they like to play from the radio that Cleona originally turned on.

First, Rapa brought her lover to eat at a roadside shop selling Cleona's favorite catfish pecel, and after their stomachs were fully filled then the night market they visited.

Cleona exclaimed cheerfully as her feet entered the night market so crowded by visitors, her smile was engraved wide, her eyes were sparkling staring around. Rapa had already clasped her lover's hand, because in addition to fearing Cleona was missing, she also did not want until another man approached her Queen.

“Abang ride it, yuk," Cleona pointed at the giant mill in front of her.

“It will be last. Now how about we ride that one first?” Rapa pointed to one of the big boat games that swung.

Cleona weighed in on her lover's invitation for a while, before then nodding, agreeing. As long as the boat swung, Cleona tightly hugged Rapa who was just laughing at the fear of her lover. Actually that is also the reason Rapa invites Cleona to ride this vehicle. It sounds modus indeed, but believe me that everyone who pairs up, whether with a girlfriend or girlfriend will do things like Rapa to steal the opportunity.

On the haunted house rides, Cleona kept screaming so shocked by some apparitions that suddenly appeared in front of or beside her, tonight it looks like Rapa really won a lot, because Cleona kept hugging him, until finally they ended up riding rides and choosing other games, such as throwing bracelets, balls and fishing toys, although more children there, as well, but Cleona and Rapa were not ashamed to do that, even it seemed like the two of them were the most excited.

Tired of playing, now Cleona and Rapa sit on a wooden chair near a grilled sausage seller, waiting for the food to be made.

“Where, happy not?” ask Rapa.

“That's great!" cleona said with a happy face. “Other times we come here again yes, Bang, but don't go to the haunted house, Queen is afraid.”

“Each angel," Rapa ruffles her hair over her lover. “Nih eat first, after that we ride bianglala.”

Cleona nodded, impatiently wanting to rush up the giant Ferris wheel, see the night view from up there and enjoy the cool breeze. Since childhood Cleona was very fond of riding the rides, and until now he was not bored. Calmness always found him once he was right above, staring around as far as the eyes could see.

Rapa opened the iron door, asking Cleona to enter first, before she caught up and hooked the key. It started spinning slowly, and stopped several times as people came back in before the round continued to run once all the cages were fully filled.

Staring around, Cleona was not constantly amazed, never tired of staring at the beauty of the night that today happened to be filled with stars. As the reanglala stopped and she was right on top, the sound of fireworks adding to the beauty of the sky, Cleona again clucked in awe, while Rapa smiled looking at the happy face of her lover.

“Queen likes?” asked Rapa who diverted Cleona from her gaze at the sky.

“So, these fireworks..”.

“Iya, Brother who asked her specifically for you.”

“Abang why so sweet anyway?” cleona said moved.

“Because Brother wants to make you happy, Queen.”

“Without this too, Queen is already happy, as long as it is always beside Brother.”

“Abang is also happy to continue beside Queen, but brother also wants to make many good memories with you, so that someday we can tell all this to our children, he said, and tell them how much you love your brother, how wonderful our youth is.”

Cleona was so deeply moved to hear Rapa's sincere words and the man's gaze was clearly implying such great love, Cleona thought to herself, can he be arrogant because he has been loved this much by a Rapa?

Perhaps in this world many men were more than Rapa, but even so, Cleona would never be willing to exchange him for another, because only Rapa was the only one she wanted.

“I love you Rapa, may this feeling remain the same until the deadline never specified.”
