The Shadow Of Love
Trash Can

I snorted in annoyance as he said to me as an insane idol. Seeing that, he laughed. I was made to shake my head about his annoying behavior. 

He stopped his laughter, then said, "Look up! Why even worry about my face? This face of mine if you look at it for a long time, it is getting handsome, really!" he said with confidence. 

I laughed when I heard him praise himself. "Yesterday said I was careless because you were ugly, now suddenly praise yourself so handsome. Ish, not consistent," said I who immediately made him grin. 

"I'm happy when you laugh, Shay. Don't cry anymore, well," he said with shady eyes that warmed my soul. 

"In the Lord. Maybe I'll laugh a lot from now on" I said, staring at him. 

"Good, dong! But why now?" tanyanya. 

"Because from now on, I have a trash can ready to stand by," I replied with a light laugh.

"Nothing, deh, is considered a garbage can as well. As long as it can be often nemenin you," he replied that instantly made us laugh together. 

"I scream, huh?" ask her to seek her consent. 

"Okey, but don't. .. I want to .. close your ears first," the man joked that he made me snort, it felt like he wanted to kick his calf. "Yes-yes, yell now!" he cried, but he did not cover his ears. 

I did the same thing as him. Both eyes closed, hands stretched out, and screamed loudly. 

"Yahoooooooooooooooo!" I still scream with a stifled voice. 

"Less up, Shay! Try it again." 

"Yahoooooooooooooooooooooo!" I tried to increase the volume of my voice so that everyone came out with a relieved heart. However, it seems that he is not satisfied yet. 

"One more time, Shay! Where's power?" tanya provoked my anger to get everyone out right now. 

I let out a long sigh before being excited, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" This time my voice was already very loud, at that very instant, my heart felt empty, like it had no burden at all. 

"Lega, right, now?" he asked after hearing my hunting breath. 

Again I heaved a sigh of relief, then nodded in agreement with his statement. "Although my problems remain, but my heart is plump now" I said honestly. 

He retreated three steps back, then landed his butt in the dry sand. His feet supported both hands with a view leading to a vast expanse of sea. 

"As long as humans are still breathing, the problem will always be there. Depending on us, can be wise in responding to it or just drown in problems without struggling to find a way out. So, the point is don't give up, anyway," he told me. 

I immediately stepped back to align with him, then sat down exactly like the man. "Ish, so wise of you, feel the same motivator again, deh!" my lips stuck out their tongues as they looked at me. 

"It's true what they say, yeah! You seem to be a judes, but .. very chatty," he said, which immediately made me squint. 

"They're who?" manya curious. 

Realizing that his words had provoked my curiosity, he also looked nervous. I understand his movements as if he were looking for an excuse. 

"Don't lie to me!" I said with a pressing tone. 

"But you .. don't get angry," she asked, sounding serious. 

"I won't be angry if you tell me the truth" I said firmly. 

For a moment, he was silent. Maybe he was stringing words to explain to me so as not to cause misunderstandings. I can wait for an explanation from him. 

"Actually, I know all about you from Fandy's friends, Sya," she told me. However, I do not just believe. 

I still noticed his facial expression. Dive into those brown eyeballs to look for a little lie from there. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to find the lie from those shady eyes. 

"You got my number from them, too?" many ensure. 

"Yes" he answered briefly. 

Exactly with my guess, the answer is definitely no. Fandy couldn't have accepted if someone else had approached me. Fandy and I knew by accident when we both wanted to see a concert.

At that time, I was about to go with Eva, my childhood friend, but Eva also made a pact with her boyfriend who was coming to pick her up with Fandy. They forced me to go with Fandy to the Reggae concert venue.

I, who was a fan of the genre music at that time, had to comply. From then on, Fandy approached me. But I only consider him a friend. 

"You have a special feeling about Fandy?" suddenly tanyanya. 

"No, lah! I told you, I have a boyfriend in Jakarta," I replied firmly. 

"Good, yeah, if so. So, I do not need to compete with the whole village," he said with a relieved smile. 

"I don't have the same feelings as you either" I replied, then grunted in annoyance. 

"Not exist, but not yet" he said quickly. 

I shook my head when I saw his confidence so high, as high as the Himalayas. 

"Why gangs? Can't believe that I'm going to crush your heart?" her question immediately made me stare intently at her. 

"If I hadn't been curious at all about your name, would you be able to take my heart?" I asked him back which immediately made him shut up. However, the next second, I was actually startled when he suddenly took out his wallet from his pants pocket. 

"Why what?" many wonder. 

"In the first place" he said firmly. 

It was unexpected that he took out a card from inside his wallet, then gave it to me. "What do you do for ID?" I was surprised by his strange behavior. 

"Let you know my name, let you not be curious anymore" he replied lightly. 

"But! Who is curious? I didn't say I was curious, Dad!" I cried while returning his resident card wallet.  

"I won't take back the ID if you haven't read my name yet" he said, sounding very strange. 

Although upset, I finally complied. I read the series of letters that formed that beautiful name in my heart. "Risqi Adinata," my mind spelled the letter. 

"Read, Yes!" the cry is starting to get upset. 

"Udah read earlier," I replied while giving her ID card. 

"Where is there? I haven't heard you say my name, you know!" 

I laughed at this look on his face. "Really, loh! I read it in my heart" I said honestly. 

"Tasya," his whine spoiled. 

My laughter grew louder when I saw him whining like a child. Just this time I saw someone whining at me like this.

"I'm going home, right!" He threatened me because I didn't comply. 

"Down, I'll ask to pick Fandy up, "my challenge to him that makes him even worse. 

 "Tasya, so mean, anyway!" his grunts while setting both feet in the sand were exactly a child who was sulking. 

"Grown-up thinking, but rich-boy behavior" I sneered at him. 

The look on his face instantly changed as I sneered at him like that. Maybe he didn't take it with the sneer I just threw. 

"Yes-yes, Risqi Adinata's sister" I said, eventually following her request.
