Should Taste Be Buried (?)

Now, I was in Jakarta where the weather was hot and on the way back to my birth house, I had a very long traffic jam.

Thankfully, I was not alone in the car. I was with my only sister, Nasywa Alifah. We call him Alifah.

Alifah nudged my arm, I saw him to the right, "what's up, Dek?" I asked him. "good, no, Bang? Alifah wants to buy this watch, Bang," he said beaming while twirling his phone, just looking at the clock on the touch screen.

I sighed, "deck, your old watch isn't there? Don't tell me as long as you're not here, you're wasteful, hm?" I asked him, and his response was just a whimper.

I shook my head. "already, yes, don't buy anything just yet. Just wear the old one. Don't be wasteful and wasteful" I advise.

Alifah frowned, "bang, Bang. Since when did the stuff become a mumbazir?" tanyakanya.

I chuckled and rubbed his hair slowly. "deck, borrow dong's shoulder," I asked.

"You want to sleep, Bang?" I nodded thinly. He gave me his shoulder and I leaned my head there.

Comfortabley? That's fair. Why do I call it good, rather than comfortable? Because I want my head to lean on a woman I love who doesn't know when to appear.

Since then, I have called it comfort. Just wanting to close my eyes, my eyes glared at a woman on the side of the road with her hair ponytailed like a horse.

I wonder, who is that woman? I can't see it clearly. Because he's still pointing to the side. I was very curious about him. To the point that I didn't realize I was sticking my nose to the windshield.

Maybe my sister saw, she immediately reprimanded him, "woi, Bang! Why, anyway, until it's so real?" tanyakanya.

I sat down and asked without looking at him, "deck, Deck. That, uh, there's a woman on the corner there, who? Recognize, no?" I just wish he knew her even if he saw her on the side.

Alifah started to come closer to me, even sticking his face to my face. I don't care about it. Most importantly, I know who that woman is.

I felt her face not being stuck with mine anymore. I turned to the side and looked into her curious eyes. "oh, she, Bang. She's my older sister, my classmate, Bang. Kenape, Bang?"

I paused for a moment, then I asked, "know whose name is Dek?"

"If it's not wrong, yes, Rena Kenzura Diana, called Rena, Bang .. uh, Sister Rena," she cheered.

I smiled when I heard his name. At that moment, his name began to stick in my heart. I don't know, whether she's beautiful or not, clearly, her name has been listed in the depths of my heart at the most.

"Sir, Dek," call me.

"Yes, Bang?" saith.

"Rena Kenzura Diana, right, Deck?" my ul. Alifah nodded slowly.

"Kenzura Diana's Rena?" Alifah nodded thinly with a flat face.

"Benefit. Kenzura. Diana. Right, Dek?!" my peek.

"Astagfirullah Al Adzim, Brother! Aye, right. Her name, that, Rena Kenzura Diana. Why, anyway, Bang? I like it, huh?" Alifah raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, Bang! No, Sir. We'll have an accident" he said.

"Silent, Deck. No accident, really, just calm down," I said reassuringly.

Alifah just turned his eyeballs off guard, "the country likes Kak Rena. Brother is lost his mind. Though he has not seen the man again," he grumbled.

I heard it, but I ignored it. I put my head on his shoulder. Alifah still mumbled, I chuckled to listen to him.

After all these years I didn't come home. Now I'm setting my foot in this house again. Such a big and charming house. Don't forget the same people who live in this house.

Surely, handsome and beautiful, my laughter is crisp. I was silent for a moment, thinking about how long I've been in London, huh? Then why am I here again? I don't know.

I just follow Papah's orders. Understand, first child, and most get the burden on his shoulders. Who, after all, can't take the burden from his parents to his first child? Ye? Ha-ha-ha, bullshit, Man!

I don't know. If I've been registered to SMAN Melati 2 by Mamah herself. Well, I'm just being indifferent. Don't want to get dizzy. Mamah said, starting next Monday I will go to that school.

What makes me flabbergasted and unexpected is that I'm going to one school, even one class with a woman I love and love so much, Rena Kenzura Diana.

I can't wait for the time when I can find my girlfriend. Ea! Just make it, not yet. I have imagined that we are inseparable. Not wanting to wait for that time, I began to rest my brain which began to judge the woman.

***

Sweet.

That's what I could tell myself when I saw his face for the first time. His face was round, his eyes were sad, his eyelashes were short, his eyebrows were long and thin, and his lips were smooth.

Oh, my God, what a wonderful creation. I can't wait to get close to him. But I don't want to rush, I'm afraid he's ilfeel. Looking at it from a distance, I could see his expression when approached by a class man, he was like he was being uncomfortable.

I nodded slowly and got the idea to make a plan to get close to her, and it worked. I'm so happy! The days go by, the weeks, the months, and even the years, we come closer.

But I didn't realize, that there was an awkwardness going on in him. But I didn't know what it was, gradually .. and I finally found out the real reason. Am I in shock? Sure oes.

Even his statement can make me crumble. My physique that started well, is now full of wounds, and turns blue. My heart and my soul? It's so ruined, man, it's so ruined.

I didn't think that the end of my love story was like this. To me, the reason makes absolutely no sense. But it's impossible, isn't it, that I don't appreciate and respect him?

Inevitably, I accepted his decision. He asked me to leave. Stay away from him, and away from his world, everything that is concerned with him, and believe me.

With my wounds blushing and breaking from my heart and body, I returned to London. My days are pretty fucked up without him. But I try to make it look good and calm. From there, I shut myself off from anyone.

Only my sister can understand my condition, but I can't depend on her always. Because my sister also went to school just like me, I got worse than her.

I let out a heavy sigh, and I promised myself. I will not despair, I will continue to wait until where he can receive my love with all his heart.

One more thing, no matter the caste or anything. If God wants me and Rena together. Then it will happen, and I believe in God's destiny rather than his decision.
