The Noodle In Love
17. Threes

Although it is proven that Denis is not a stingy man, but also be on guard if he does not defend me to eat anything. It's almost nearing dinner time. Worried if hunger suddenly strikes come in my stomach. Denis hasn't come to pick me up yet.

"You're not waiting for this meal to be ready, Ling? Just wait for soft carrots and potatoes you know, Ling," said Bu Yanti looking at me.

"No, ma. Drinking milk is the same eating these two bananas my stomach is full," I explained in order to reject the good intentions of Ms. Yanti for me.

"His,,!!" deheman the man who was definitely Rush, suddenly sounded. Has been sitting in front of me with a fixed expression and without looking at me.

"Eh, Rush wants to see Ling's movie, right??!" yanti asked Mom a little hard on Rush. My ears held up while waiting for his answer.

"Yes, mbok," Rush said. And it really surprised me

Rush was also looking at me when I looked at his face. We looked at each other for a moment with awkward eyes. What the look in his eyes meant I don't know. Do you mean to be deranged, or laugh at the look of surprise on my face.

"Well, that's right, Rush. The streets there, who knows later who sits next to you is a beautiful girl, mas," said Ms. Yanti who was not tired of cheering.

"Beautiful and must be good, mbok. Make anything beautiful, if you like dating, then it's easy. Easy to walk with a guy who is not his girlfriend," fierce Rushqi while looking intently at me.

Oh, does that mean me? He intentionally wanted to insinuate me? Want to attack my good mentality? Rush...Very sharp your mouth to me..

"It can be guided tho, mas Rush. The husband's duty is to guide the wife. Her name is pretty too. Yes naturally if dating, surely many who like. As long as the courtship does not sting in the room or in the mattress."

"Keep, it's still just a date. Yellow janur is also not curved. Yes find serepan, let's not think of dying if the fit is again severed girlfriend. That's it, isn't it, mas? Yes opo ora, Ling??" Bu Yanti expressed her opinion while asking and suddenly looked at me. Like I got an attack on myself.

"Eh, yes ma'am.. That's right what Yanti said. Instead of less happy singles, continue to cheat and double after marriage. It's better to just date happily first yes, buuu..."

Somehow I can talk this way with Ms. Yanti. What I'm not sure, is whether Ms. Yanti also insinuated me, or talked about the facts, or just wanted to defend me.

Clearly, Rushqi's face seemed tense and stiff. His eyes were sharp and cynical looking at me. It seems Rushqi has already been very low-rated on me. Or has there been disgust for me..? Maybe my face feels so good in his eyes..

Ha,,,ha, enjoy the torment of your discomfort Rushqi.. And I'll make sure you see this bush every time in your eyes!

Despite the cold war, Rush managed to get me to follow the plate and dinner at the table. Can not stand the complaints of Ms. Yanti who felt in vain had prepared food if it turns out we did not touch the dish. Rush could not bear to see the face of Miss Yanti look grim. Of course my feelings are too.

Denis came by when we were only half over dinner. The man looked disappointed when he found out that our stomachs would be full in the kitchen. While he deliberately did not eat just for the sake of wanting to invite me to dinner outside. And Denis also joined in eating at home with us at last.

"Mistake it yourself you're slow" Rush said of Denis's grunts, who continued to look upset.

However, Rush accelerated also the chewing motion in his mouth. I also rushed to speed up the contents of my plate. Don't want to keep Denis waiting any longer.

Rush asked Denis to wait for him to finish praying while eating. Which of course I will also return to the room to pay for the final prayer today.

Denis came to pick me up very slowly. However, I don't think I was the slightest bit upset while waiting for his arrival.

What because I was too busy fighting a cold war with Rushqi, to forget the time and do not feel it has passed... I don't know.. I can't wait to wait for something, no matter what I wait for.

I've been waiting for Rush to sit in front with Denis. The handsome young man was sitting alone in the back. Maybe he was digging while cursing a hateful curse from behind me.

I always welcome Denis's question into a long, exciting conversation. It was a happy laugh between me and Denis. There was no hope of my interest for Rush to connect to our chat. The man was in silent mode alone in the back.

Looks like, the two fellas are as purposeful and in line tonight. No matter the three ticket numbers that have been purchased online. What I just understood is that Errushqi bought tickets online to watch tonight. As a seduction for Denis to take him too to leave.

They both ignore the cinema hours that have passed a dozen minutes ago. Not walking towards the cinema door, but choosing a stop at the men's and women's batik boutique next door. They worry that the boutique will be closed if they have to shop after watching.

"Why buy a batik suit, bang Denis?" I asked Denis. Can't stand to call it bang again.

Denis was amazed to look at me in the back. I prefer to follow behind him. Instead of washing my own eyes that occasionally cross paths with Rush without me accidentally.

"Yes, bang Denis. Ms. Yanti also conveyed her message to me. But in my closet there are already some batik dress," I mean to refuse.

"Choose a new batik" said a man behind me suddenly. That person is Errushqi. Of course his words were just the wind and then it blew for me.

"Well, you have to choose, too, Ling. Wanna choose?" ask Denis with some attention.

"Eh, not bang. Let me choose for myself," I said quickly while shifting aside. Stay away from the position of two men who are compact argued.

Other than this old date who had to rethink to buy something, but I don't want my closet to be crowded with new clothes. This will be a burden to me. Just walk and pretend to choose what I do.

"Which batik did you choose, Ling,,??" Denis came to rebuke me all of a sudden. There was also Rush standing beside him.

"I'll look for it on leave. I can't quickly pick a shirt," I reasoned.

"Bak,,,!!" rushqi suddenly.

A boutique employee breezed quickly towards our place.

"What's up, mas?" ask the sweet officer in a soft tone.

"Pick a good batik for him" Rush told the boutique clerk quickly, pointing to me. And that's enough to make me feel uneasy.

" No need... You can't force me" I said fiercely at Rush, who looked indifferently at me.

"Get it, mbak. Bring it directly to the cashier. All our clothes." Rush turned towards the cashier while grabbing Denis' batik for him to carry. The taste of my chest growled once at my boarding mother's son.

"No papa, Ling. Friends should be compact. Don't hesitate, the three of us are friends" Denis said, trying to encourage me. I just looked up at him.

Those words were indeed true, but Denis did not know the sharpness of Rushqi's mouth behind him. And I couldn't possibly complain to Denis about Rush's sadistic attitude.

By carrying shopping bags containing batik clothes each, we entered the cinema as well.

The movie is going to be aired, at first I don't know what the title is. After sitting down, I just understood what movie was playing. That is a romance film as well as a comedy with an original title like the novel book, Not Kacung Caning-Kaleng.

The three of us were quickly swept away at the movie spectacle on the super advanced big screen in front. Not felt, the longer follow the storyline, myself followed by a storyline that for me is very entertaining. Yet...

My comfortable smile was piqued with the pressure and pressure of someone on my left. As it turned out, the man beside me shifted his seat so close to me. As if being deaf-blind did not care about my eyes and movements.

"Mas, gold, slide it back to your seat. Please sit right" I said in a normal tone. Maybe some people around heard me.

Not in vain, the man shifted to the right position in the chair originally without looking at me. Not feeling guilty, especially suspicious. Though the hand that crossed his chest had hit on the shoulder of my shoulder. There's no way he didn't accidentally. Huhhhh..

I only realized that those who sit in a row with me are almost all men. There's only one woman on the far end of me.

On my right is Denis with a calm and sweet sitting attitude. And there's Rush next to Denis.

Rushqi was looking at me as I combed through the spectators to my right and left. My seat had turned very unsettled after the strange incident just now. Honestly, I was afraid that the man would touch me with an excuse that pretended to be accidental.

"Den, you change positions. Have the girl next to you sit down at your place." My ears heard it when Rush's voice spoke very softly to Denis.

"Ling, tucker bench??" ask Denis direct to me.

Despite the feeling of simalakama, I quickly nod my face. Sitting between Rush and Denis I think is the safest option right now. Although it feels clumsy and awkward, but I don't think the slightest fear when sitting between them. It doesn't matter either, even though Rush doesn't like me very much.
