Shean & Jenny
Warm Chocolate

The flame in the fireplace blazed in the cold mountains in the afternoon, the sound of birdsong and crickets in the middle of the forest is increasingly loud to make a very soothing nuance to the mind.

I thought, not bad also occasionally healing vacation to the mountains to just treat fatigue with boisterous city with all the hustle and bustle that sometimes increase anger.

I took a deep breath of air and stretched my hands and exhaled them slowly. Tired because the journey is no longer felt. Now there is only a sense of calm and also a very cold. Even the thick jacket and t-shirt I wore inside could no longer resist this coldness.

“This, I made hot chocolate.” Jenny approached me with two glasses of hot chocolate in her hand.

“Or do I want to make coffee?” Ask later.

I took the glass of hot chocolate from his right hand, and began to sip a faint bitter and sweet taste from the too much hot water he poured.

“It's enough” my word is short.

I rested my body on the pine tree that grew not far from the tent, enjoying every drop of hot chocolate that Jenny made until it was gone and left only an empty glass.

“Je.. I want to say something” Jenny lowered her head and approached me.

“Yes, there's something about Shean” I hear her voice, her face is flushed like that, maybe she has a fever because of the weather difference from the city.

“This is just me telling you”

“Actually you want to talk about what the hell?” jenny began to wonder.

“You see the symbols on the rocks, I think I know all those symbols”

“Not to be mistaken, those symbols also appeared on the map and in some of my ancestral records, I told you this once right, you remember?”

“Oh yes I remember” he turned his back on me, walked to the front of his tent and sat in a portable chair.

“I think you want to talk about something else, it turns out.” he did not continue his sentence. Because Mr. Yana and Erik have come up with worn and exhausted faces.

“Shean.. What are we eating tonight?” erik said out loud, as if he was getting hungry.

“Casual.. Just make up first.. I'll make a meat-eating”. My answer is no less loud than his voice.

“Hahaha.. Steady, so dong! Meat do not vegetable keep”.

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

Jenny after the chat this afternoon so looks more quiet than usual, the look on her face looks disappointed and sad, is it possible that I made a mistake? But what. I dare not ask directly. It also seems that he does not want to be disturbed.

After eating, he resigned and entered the tent because he was sleepy. But Erik did not think so, he elbowed my waist and whispered “Jenny seemed to be angry with you”. I was surprised by his words.

“Shhhhttt.. Invite him to chat there” we spoke slowly so as not to be heard by Jenny.

I also remembered that this afternoon he wanted to say something to me, but not because I first talked more about the symbols I saw in the ruins of the site. I understood the situation now, and tried to persuade Jenny to speak one eye.

“Come Je.. I beg you, please I want to talk to you ” not long after he came out of the tent with a whiny face.

“Funny to hear you plead like that. Hehe”.we both walked with a flashlight to illuminate the path to the river looking for a place a little far from the camp location because we did not want others to listen to the conversation of me and Jenny.

Arriving there, we leaned against a large stone by the river, the sound of the water flow and the sounds of the animals of the night adorned this night, although there was no moon or stars to see because it was still covered with clouds in the sky, the atmosphere was very calm and my heart was constantly beating fast when beside it and our hands touched each other.

“Shean, I've been thinking about it hard all this time. Dad already knows everything.” his speech stopped for a moment.

“Despite Dad wanting to help you, I've already noticed you. I mean pay attention in other respects, maybe you also understand”.

“What does it mean Je, I do not understand the core you want to talk about, you should just go to the point so that I also understand”. I said firmly, confused by his convoluted speech. Jenny turned to face me, not a word said, just a soft kiss that made me lose consciousness for a moment, my head suddenly empty and heat spread all over the body.

“I'm in love with you Shean. I hope you are the only man I can love until the end of my life”.

Even though the night was very dark, only the flashlight was lit, but I could clearly see the sparks of light from the glare of his sparkling eyes waiting for me to give certainty and the decision to be able to accept his love.

“I don't know what I often feel when I'm with you, whether it's love or what it's called. But I'm comfortable with you”. My words also explain all the feelings I've been craving for so long.

“Ence again.. Shean do you want to be my girlfriend?” ask Jenny affirms.

“It should be my sentence!” I concluded to him greeted a gentle smile implied from his lips.

“Jenny.. Will you be my wife?” I said back to asking.

“I don't want to just be your girlfriend. I want to have you fully and enjoy all the sad and happy moments together with you all the time”. I continued to assert that if I want to be more serious about a relationship that lasts longer than just a temporal relationship that can end at any time. “Of course! I want! I love you Shean”. Strictly he said.

At night, we both woke up in the campground sitting in front of the fireplace enjoying a warm chocolate and enjoying the scenery around.this time the view was clearly visible stretching as far as the eye could see. The flickering expanse of city lights looks festive even the lights of passing vehicles look like fireflies flying here and there. Beautiful and also relaxing. Lucky we could see all this. The others fell asleep in the tent.

In this little heart, I vow to be a decent man for Jenny, however she was born into a distinguished family and her father was a successful businessman who had already built a large mega corporation in the country.

“Wait for me yes Je, I must be a man who really deserves you” I said in the middle of the silence of the night.

“Emm.. No need to think too far, even I know that you are a good man”

“Remember father's message? Don't look down on yourself too much. I'm happy to know you”.

“Thank you”. I said briefly, no longer know what to say, at this moment I am really happy.

The happiness we have today is a special moment that will continue to be remembered at any time. There's a whack of opium from the joy of the love we both feel. Don't want any more distance to get in the way, because longing is really torturous. I have felt it all this time, like there is a sense that is not satisfied if in a week alone there is no meeting him, maybe he is the same.

Let all this be felt by our hearts. No need to say enough to feel. Because the more the taste is talked about the more lies there are, and now I am sincere to accept it as my life partner and marry her to be completely mine alone.

Ah right too.. We should get married.. Can I please Jenny, this beautiful princess?.
