SECOND TIME - LOVE IN CASTE
19. I'M KANGEN

"You good?" nathan asked as he took off his embrace.

"As you see."

"Kangen is just like you, Yank!" he said again and again gave a hug.

"Hmmmm" replied the girl and did not refuse the lover's embrace.

"Just two weeks have not met already miss, until I want to die it feels, how about later if I am even longer in Surabaya than this," continued the man while tightening his arms.

The couple who were kasmaran gave up longing after two weeks apart. Nathan, who he said developed his business to Sumatra, only returned today and immediately met his girl who missed him so much, and after that will go again to Surabaya to take care of other business.

"Kangen you too," replied the girl. "Fresh up!" he said later but in contrast to his hand that was still tightly coiled around his lover's waist.

"The clash is a bit, Yang," said the man then landing his lips on the girl's head.

Comfortable, that's what both feel.

The hug lasted for a while before the girl let go of the winding of her hand. The man who said he was kangen let go of the hug unwillingly.

"Well eat?" ask the girl while putting up her seat belt.

"Hmm, on the plane," replied the man who was still looking at the girl.

"Why?" asked the girl, confused to see her lover who looked at her continuously.

"No pa-pa, you are beautiful" she said, wiping the girl's head.

" Lebay deh, "he answered indifferently but blushed. Her cheeks were blushing when this was not the first time she was praised as beautiful. Woman, can't hear a little compliment.

The man was driving leisurely, one of his hands tightly grasping Nara's hand. Sometimes he carries his hand to his lips. Kissing and occasionally in friendly bites, making the two people laugh and look happy when together.

"Don't stop by first?" ask the girl after they arrive in front of Nara's house.

"You want to hug you all night too, but definitely not allowed to be with you." Nathan who already knew that it was just a pleasant invitation his lover just chimed in with the real facts.

"Hehehehe" The girl chuckled before draping her hand on Nathan's arm. Put your head on that arm. Replace him who holds the fingers of the man, patting his own palm using Nathan's hand. The two were still sitting comfortably in the car in front of Nara's house.

Hugging in a car like this has become a routine for both of them if they meet. There is nothing else you can do if you meet, hug and kiss occasionally. To this day both Nara and Nathan have never asked for anything strange like the way most people date today. Both are aware of boundaries. Sometimes Nara will be invited to stop by Nathan's apartment. Cooking dinner together and watching together. Then when it's late, Nathan will drive Nara home.

Seven Months into dating, Nathan takes good care of her, never asks her to stay the night and Nara never wants to either. Meeting two or three times a week is more than enough as long as the communication between them is maintained. Within these seven months, there was also the occasional them arguing about something and it was natural. Seeking solutions and apologizing to each other in the end.

"Vacation yuk, Yank," Nathan asked suddenly. "That deket - deket only!" he hopes to be approved.

"Where?" Nara who was feeling comfortable leaning on Nathan's arm responded, now the position of her head leaning against the man's chest while both hands were busy playing the man's fingers

put his hand on the girl.

"Singapore?" the answer is to give an idea. "Kan deket, friday night thrangkat back in the afternoon or evening,"

he continued, praying in his heart that his idea this time was accepted. Rarely does the girl immediately respond like this, usually will only answer, 'anytime', 'the office is busy', 'I'm lazy no longer kepengen

go-go' and many other reasons with one purpose, REFUSE.

"OK, when?" ask the girl to make the man wonder, usually the girl will give a thousand and one reasons. Even a vacation to a nearby peak is rejected without a second thought.

"Now?" I want to think about the man. In my heart I was screaming praying.

"There's still a ticket?" With hesitation Nara asked. Actually just responded to the origin, why be so serious like this?

"But I'll check." And the man rushed to check if there was still a flight for tonight. Binggo. Thanks God, there is.

"Packing does not need much, which is important, we will buy if there is less," he said

while buying tickets.

God, how serious is this? inner Nara.

Not that judging Nathan is bad, but it's both holidays.

What will be the preoccupation?

*****

Nathan is excited and does not want to waste this opportunity directly gas to the airport.

"Don't go to the apartment first?"

"No, there's still clean clothes in the suitcase in the trunk."

"Passport?" ask Nara again.

"In the bag," replied Nathan briefly.

"You've planned this before, huh? Two weeks you go to Medan, do not use a passport if there, why is the passport now in the bag? Where do you take it?" asked Nara in one breath.

 Nathan just laughed and nodded.

"Yes, you can't guess now. Thank God, I'm smart, thought to be there."

The answer was only in response to the roll of an eyeball by the girl.

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

"The message box is only one room?" nara asked, starting to worry. Bad thoughts that had stopped in his brain earlier have now started to penetrate again.

"Full, Yank. Why in the first place, anyway? Afraid? Don't trust me?" Nathan asked with a flat face. Hasn't Nara been able to trust her for seven months? Can he be disappointed?

"No-no-fear, it's just not normal" Nara replied. The atmosphere turned a little awkward.

"I can be restless, not to be afraid, anyways this in Singapore. Who knows if we're in the room?" Nathan tried

self-control and trying to understand her slightly disheveled lover.

"Come on!" Nathan embraced the slightly trembling girl and walked towards the elevator.

 "Basically, I'm a predator. So far as to why you bring it to Singapore.

In Jakarta can also if I want to be reckless," he said slowly with a little bit of stiffness to eliminate Nara's worries that look clumsy embrace. The right hand presses the floor number button of their destination.

"I respect you, Yank. I love you the same. I'll take care of you and never intend to break you a bit before we're legitimate" he replied while stroking Nara's hair. Fortunately, there were only two of them in the elevator.

Not for a minute, they had already arrived at the destination floor. The right hand that had been slashing at the small suitcase nimbly pressed the keycard against the door and pushed it away. While the left hand remains

stuck on his girlfriend's shoulder.

"Oh my intention for that, I have asked you from the beginning, force you or seduce you until I get what I want" he continued after they were in the room. Nathan twists Nara's body to

facing him. He grabbed both of Nara's hands and kissed her slowly.

"I'm serious about you, you know that. Or, what if I just go to your village in the near future and apply to your parents?" nathan asked with a smile on his face. "I also want to have you right away

legally, let's not be afraid if I rent one room like this," he continued with a smile on his face.

"That's it, i-tu, that's it later, a-a-k-I'm not ready. " Nara stammered.

"Not ready for what?" nathan asked closer and Nara retreated every time Nathan stepped up until Nara's back hit the wall.

Nara is getting wrong and a little bit of misgivings, this is in the land of people, Nara is not puffed, if - if Nathan reckless how?

"Love you!" nathan said suddenly and Nara looked up, why suddenly I love you, anyway?

Without giving Nara time to ask or answer her love phrase Nathan put her lips together and kissed Nara feelingly. Nara, who is initially shocked by Nathan's actions, slowly closes her eyes and enjoys the kiss given by Nathan.
