Short Story For You
back to December

December...

The end of the year but the beginning of everything. He who initiated the spark in the puddle restless when a troop like a trooper hit the earth.

This is probably the end of the rainy season. Rinai is bigger than usual. Though the weather forecast says if the heart is bright cloudy. Are weather observers wrong ?

Still with the rain, and the man who fooled the weather forecast like me. It could be seen, they did not carry umbrellas and intended to shade for a moment.

I saw my salary, there was no reply from him. Huh, I better just say it. Rather than making him wait for a moment when I wasn't sure if I'd be in time to get to his place.

Sorry the rain added deres, I can not promise Dateng

I sent that short message and put my phone back in my pocket. Alright, after a little bit of relief I'll just go home.

" Why not be ? " Tell someone behind me.

I flinched in surprise and turned to see who had asked.

" You're here ? " I asked him back.

He nodded without saying. I also invited him to shade in a lotek stall on the roadside that was quite quiet.

" Eat boiled noodles yes "my bargain

He nodded back. I was about to order but suddenly turned towards him again.

" What taste ? " Tanyaku.

" Curry chicken "he finally spoke.

I ordered 2 bowls of boiled noodles and went back to sit next to him.

" The rain is well" said I who noticed a lot of speckles on his leather jacket dripping.

Back he nodded, after which awkwardly approached. To fill the time while the noodles come I just open the phone with the origin to look busy, so my hope.

" Mell, "call him.

I was surprised when the man called me, but I turned my head.

" Yes ? " Ask me.

Will he say something serious ? Judging by the pause he gave. I thought he was going to talk about our conversation last night.

" By anget tea" he replied.

I almost laughed at my expectations. Where is it possible in this polar drip to start a conversation.

" Yes, for a moment "my word then order again to mother who is pouring noodle soup into the bowl.

2 bowls of noodle soup have been served. We ate without talking. She looked serious about her chicken curry noodles, even though she seemed more interested in it than I was.

A message notification appeared on my phone. It turned out that 2 of my friends who would also meet did not come. He said the rain made the road a puddle.

I turned my head back, just like before, firmly still focused on the noodles. Back I undo the intention to interfere with the seriousness of steadfast with his chicken curry noodles.

" Why ? " ask.

Presumably firm to know if from earlier I stole a look at him.

I became a fool myself, even feeling like I was caught doing something big

" that's the same Winda Juna can't Dateng" I replied.

" oh" he answered.

Steady back serious with his sauce before spending the warm tea that stayed half.

" huh ? " I don't know how to understand the answer

Steadfastly look.

" Well, read in the group "he said

I cursed myself. Right now I am really ashamed. My words earlier were even such a ridiculous excuse for having been caught off guard stealing glances at the firm.

"oh that's "the word that finally said after dizzy thinking about what answer to end this conversation.

The rain had subsided, and our noodles and warm tea had run out. After a while I stared at Rinai. You decided to go back.

" how much Ma'am ? " Task hard to pay.

The shop owner's mother replied "18 thousand mas, his girlfriend all right ? "

I choked on my own spit. But firm was only stunned but before long he nodded.

" yes, ma'am "he answered

My brain stopped working. What does firm mean ?

" this I replace "my word that extends 20 thousand money to him.

He looked at her for a moment, then smiled.

" I am the one who is tlaktir" he said

" but why ?" I'm confused

" Look at it, frist date "he said that made me stop walking

...Frist date said ?...

...Maddened...

Realizing I'm not following his footsteps. Steady turning around, looking at me who was pecking

" Melody, I." said a firm man who did not continue his words

I'm waiting for the next words from the man in the leather jacket.

" your face is defecating ! " Shouted mba Nita who made the entire radio canteen surprised

" umba..." I tried to revive Mba Nita because now we are really the center of attention

"sorry everything ! " Say Nita again and sit down

" i swear, really good gragetan Lo both" he said while grumbling

" why mba ? " Many

" astaghfirullah melody, you don't know how to like each other ! " Nita said, who seemed to raise his hand with our insensitivity.

Time, no ah not me who is insensitive. I just don't feel anything strongly. But... I still have doubts about this

" already, not thought of. The time that will answer "is Nita's last words before passing to the broadcast room

" alone ? "

I stared at the person who was sitting in front of me, Steady

" yes, wait for the broadcast "my answer accordingly

" there are still 40 minutes" he said as he looked at the watch.

" Yuk street "take him

Again I was shocked firmly. Tumben thought so much

" where do you "ask.

" muter muter "Reply again.

I agree, after all the fried rice I ordered is over.

He took me to a mall less than 200 meters away.

He stopped in front of the time zone and went in there

Firmly buy a ticket and bring me to the front of the toy pinch doll which is late this famous.

"Where do you want ?" Ask firmly

" the Nile horse" I said

He was staring at me.

" Why choose the Nile ? " Task firmly

" funny "my mouth

" huh ? " Say he did not understand

" the Nile horse is funny, if it farts through the mouth "

Strong laugh. Then say okay and start playing the doll claw

Firm tickets begin to thin. Not that he's not good at playing, but the hippie doll I pointed at can't be taken.

" it's a guh "I told him to give up

" drag ! " wanted

I was getting bored and just waiting for the long leg to stop.

" guh I want to broadcast "that word can stop firmly with the action of the clawed doll that has not ended.

He took off his grip on the pedal of the game. " I'm sorry, bosen yah ? " She said.

" No, just afraid of being late for the broadcast "my answer was afraid to hurt her heart.

" Mel "call him.

" Yes, "I answered.

As usual, he gave a pause.

" You feel comfortable if we are together ? " ask.

I didn't answer that question, because now I'm confused as to what to say.

" Gini, I took it. I don't know if you like it or just feel comfortable. But, I think sometimes I need you "he explained.

I'm sculpting, what exactly is the meaning of steadfast ?

" You're asking me out ? " Tanyaku.

" No, rich I said. I don't know what I think it's like or just comfortable being friends with you." Her speech.

He looked at me, "that's why I wanted to be sure. " hereinafter.

" How ? " Tanyaku.

" Please always be there for me, and vice versa. I'll take this relationship to a serious stage when I'm sure of how I feel" she said.

And stupid at that time I did it. From that day on, always with me. It made me feel like I had a girlfriend but as time went on, the firmness started to change. He has dared to curb and even limit the friendship of the opposite sex, even though I don't care if he does.

It feels like I'm already claustrophobic, in this unclear relationship it's often just the firm set up. I wasn't even given time to argue. And yes, do it again.

" I don't like you Deket same Iwan ! " Strongly angry.

I hold his shoulder" Just eat, guh "my words give an explanation

But firmly brushed my hands rough. " Call down ! Phone I can ! " She said.

I could only remain silent, a mistake made me lunge into an indistinct sense of steadfastness.

" Guh, I'm tired !" Frustrated talk.

" We're not even in a clear relationship, now try to say what our relationship is !" My words were yelling at him.

" Each one another "he said.

I shook my head and smiled, "no guh, there's only me. You were never there for me" I said unconsciously as tears trickled.

Firmly silent, not saying anything even his anger was lost somewhere.

" It's not enough for a month to be sure of your own feelings ?!" My word

" Our prenuptial relationship ends here" I said and then walked away.

I wiped off the spot where the tears were still wet. I don't want this out because of him. Someone I thought was generous and humble and humorist turned out to have a possessive side that curbs. It got even worse because we weren't tied up in what relationship ?

My next day will be different, no one will take me, no one will take me to breakfast. Never mind, forget about being firm. It's time I restrained my heart to accept another love.

" Mel, I have a candidate for you" said Mba Nita.

We were in the radio canteen. Of course it's not just the two of us, there's Heru mas and him.

They were the seniors of these radio broadcasters, and we Junior ones sometimes replaced them while both of them were busy. We were also close to the one who often exchanged stories.

" What the heck mba, I'm not old for singles" I said in response to Nita's offer

Mas Heru just chimed in with guyonan.

" Yes look first, this one is serious youh" said mba Nita who insinuated firmly.

The insinuated only sealed and drank his iced tea, not intending to join in the conversation.

" Eh guh, I also have acquaintances for you." Speak mba Nita by showing the dress.

" His name is Rani, it fits you. Exactly the same toxic " said mba Nita with her smirk.

I choked on Nita's mba. Even the strong keep seeing me.

My hand reached for Nita's knee, intending to stop her subtle innuendo of steadfastness. Because either way it will lead to me.

" May deh mba, when to recognize "a firm answer that does not seem serious.

His words made me speechless, then the conversation was only filled with Heru mas and Nita mba, we only occasionally chimed in.

I've finished the broadcast, there's no more schedule. Now it's time to go home. But when I want to order an ojek online, I feel there is someone's fingers that hold my hand tightly.

I looked, he was firm.

I tried to take off the grip, but steadfastly did not let it.

" Let go of guh ! " Saying.

" Mel "call him.

" Guh peelingin ! " My words are still struggling.

He holds both my shoulders.

" Mel dengerin, briefly "he said that managed to make me quiet.

" I'm sorry "he continued.

" Make ? " Tanyaku.

" Everything is "the answer.

Give me time, at least to say I forgive him. But I didn't say that.

" Nita said, good for good and toxic like I deserve similar. Sorry I gave you a bitter experience yesterday. Thank you for playing a prospective girlfriend very well in the last 1 month "he said.

I started to make a dam in my eyes. Finally finally realized.

He took his hand off my shoulder and took something in his pocket. He asked me to reopen my finger and put down the keychain of the blue Nile.

" I'm sorry it's not a doll, it's so hard to get. Slippery "said.

I couldn't stand to cry.

" Eh already afternoon, I already percent ojol for you" he said.

I really didn't say anything at the time. It was as if I wanted only the firm voice I heard.

" I'm sorry "that was his last word before he left.

My defense collapsed, now I was crouching over my crying face. I held the keychain tight. It's not just spontaneous forgiveness I give, even my heart. December makes me feel you are mine even though in fact it is not, December also makes me break the expectations even December also makes me fall back in love with steadfast.
