The atmosphere of the house was already quiet by the time Meira arrived home. Meira unlocks the front door.
“Papa and Mama must have slept“ her inner
The television was turned off and the living room was dark. Meira had deliberately brought her own house keys just in case she came home a little late, so as not to disturb Papa and Mama. And it turns out it was true, tonight he came home late.
he walked in while tiptoeing because he did not want to wake Papa and Mama. As much as possible he tried not to make a sound. Meira held her breath when she heard a voice in the kitchen.
“What is the back door not locked yes, lest any thieves enter?“
A feeling of fear and curiosity raged in Meira's heart. He walked straight into the kitchen, and he was so surprised when he suddenly saw his mother in front of him. He did not blink to see who was in front of him.
“You just got home Mir? why do you see your mama like that?“ sue Mama
“What does ma look like?” Ask Meira
“Like you forgot that mama also lives here,” nawab Mama.
Meira quickly answered.
“Ohh Ma, that's not what Mira.” means
“Mira thought earlier mama had slept, the room was also dark all.“
“Ngak usually also this hour mama is still in the kitchen.“
“So Mira thought there was a thief coming in, through the back door.“
“Keep looking at mama like that? Now you believe this isn't your mama?” Ask Mama
“Maafin Mira Ma, Mira believes this mama Mira.“ Meira replied as she hugged her mother
Meira took a teapot filled with water on the dining table and poured it into a glass, then gulped it down.
“Papa has slept Ma?“ ask Meira
“Already from earlier.” replied Mama
“You from anywhere Mir, this time just came home?”
“Tadi Deni took Mira to a cafe Ma, the cafe is very comfortable to relax, Mira and Deni eat while chatting there and without feeling already late at night.”
Mama nodded.
“Ya it's time for you to rest Mir, mama also want to sleep.“
***********
After the shower, Meira put her body on the bed. He smiled while holding his lips.
“Kiss Deni is still so felt, soft and warm.” Meira chuckles.
When he sharpened his eyes, Deni's lips still felt attached to his lips.
Meira tilted her body, and repeatedly tried to close her eyes. But I don't know why it's so hard to close your eyes tonight. Deni's shadow always flashed through his mind.
“If Deni's house were next to mine, I would definitely come and knock on his door now, no matter what time it is, and Denipun would definitely not ask, why did you come here all those nights, because she knows why, and I'm sure Deni must have missed me too. Then we hugged.” Meira fantasizes.
Deni is not Meira's first boyfriend. Before meeting Deni, Meira had dated her college friend Bayu. But his feelings for Bayu at that time, not the same as what he felt with Deni now. It feels so different. Maybe at that time Meira did not think too much about love, he only focused on his college, while dating just for him, just there are friends watching, friends walking, study friends, and friends, no more than that.
Meira recalled the time she had her first dinner with Deni. Deni took her to a restaurant on the beach. The atmosphere becomes very romantic when the roar of the waves on the beach becomes a silent witness of the beginning of their love journey.
After finishing eating Deni invited Meira to sit on the cold beach. The wind gusts and Deni gives Meira his jacket, as Meira begins to get cold. Deni touched Meira's face with his hands. Meira bowed in shame. Her heart was pounding very fast, if Deni heard it, Meira would definitely be very embarrassed. Not many words were spoken that night, only the look on the face that implies that the two are being drunk with romance.
Deni gives Meira a necklace, and asks Meira to keep it.
“If you want to wear it can also,” Deni said.
Meira smiled happily, then she asked Deni to help put the necklace on. After that they both walked down the beach hand in hand.
Deni drove Meira home, and when she reached Meira's house, Deni stopped her car. Bright moonlight through Deni's car glass. Deni puts his hand on Meira's shoulder, then kisses her. It was then that Meira felt truly in love. He kissed Deni. Meira seems to not care, if there are neighbors who see it, and gossip about her who is kissing with a man. Let tonight be only his and Deni's.
“I fell in love..I fell in love“ Meira said repeatedly as she reached inside her room. He dropped himself on the bed. It is fitting that there are many musicians who make songs that tell about love, because there are no feelings that can taste it. Love is really beautiful.
“It was amazing, what a wonderful experience I've had,” Meira muttered.
The days that Meira spent with Deni were really happy, they were both a matching couple. The two almost never argue. With Deni, Meira's heart is always filled with happiness, her eyes are always sparkling and her face is always decorated with smiles.
There are some things that humans cannot hide in this world and one of them is love.
Meira feels like a very lucky person, because she has found a valuable person in her life, because many people can not find it during her life.
Meira herself does not understand what the definition of true love is. But he thinks it is Denilah who comes closest to that category. Deni is always entertaining him when he asks why he and Farah lately are often not suitable. Meira is very dependent and needs Deni in many ways, to the point that he once thought that in the end he married Deni, and one of them died, so he never thought, so if allowed Meira will ask God that he who died first, so that he does not feel that he must live without Deni. Selfish indeed. But isn't love often selfish?
Although their love for each other is so great, Meira and Deni's love is mature. They understand that loving each other means spending time together, but not all the time, nor should they forget their friends. Meira wishes her love story with Deni a happy ending. Because he believes that a good start will lead to happiness.
And it didn't feel like Meira was asleep in her sleep.
