Beautiful Monster
Let's Stop

"How was the walk before coming here? The road you're walking on is beautiful, isn't it?" Danita opens the chat. He refuted his head with both hands, staring one at a time at those sitting around. "Especially the air is still fresh typical of the morning. Next time we have to go out early."

Ignacia agreed. Her eyes could not linger as Danita continued her speech. Several times Ignacia glanced at Rajendra through the corner of her eye. This feeling that he felt was just an unreasonable boast because of hunger right? His stomach feels empty. Right after, the food finally came.

The aroma of delicious food is very appetizing. Bahri who had looked weak was now excited. Rajendra was equally excited. The pupils dilate when the dish is presented right in front of the eyes. The water on his face was shining brightly. "You are Ignacia. Instead of getting ready to eat, you're thinking about something no-no."

The six began to eat voraciously. There was not even a pause to open the chat. The food here is too good to leave chatting. Without talking this table is still crowded. The sound of spoons and forks clashing on the plate is also body language that wants his partner to try his good food. Just like Ignacia did.

The long-haired girl thrust out a still-warm piece of meat. Her fragrance makes Rajendra accept her lover's bribe without thinking long. Then a thumbs up is given as a sign of agreeing if it tastes good. Ignacia smiled faintly and continued eating. Before the next bribe could enter the mouth, Rajendra first thrust a roll of noodles once a bribe. This bribe was also accepted without a second thought.

On the other side of the table, Nesya moved the chicken pieces to Farhan to try the man. At that time Farhan was busy chewing, so Nesya quickly put it on the plate. Farhan also did the same. Give a little food to Nesya to try. It felt too awkward to feed each other. Such a thing is new for both.

Then in the middle there is Bahri who thrust a tissue to remove the stains on the cheeks of her girl thanks to the pieces of food that are too large. Danita thanked him and cleaned herself. The girl asked if the stain had disappeared, Bahri nodded and continued eating. Don't forget to ask Danita to eat slowly.

This breakfast is more special. Besides because they can eat good food and do romantic activities without interruption, the six also enjoy a beautiful morning without feeling disappointed. After the main meal, sweet and cold desserts appear to be comforting. Danita immediately got up to order for herself and her two female friends.

Before leaving, Ignacia permits to go to the toilet for a while. Once again a strange feeling arose. Now seeing Rajendra's back shaking from laughing. The men enjoyed a joking moment with the two girls in front. Ignacia should be happy. His stomach was filled and no longer felt empty. Then what's up now?

A waiter carries a tray of table orders there. Ignacia watched how Danita and Nesya's eyes sparkled just because of the cold snack. "Ignacia, come quickly. The ice cream has come." The girl called nodded and continued her steps.

Before sitting down, Rajendra asked why Ignacia did not return immediately until she had to be called by her friends. Ignacia nervously replied, "I'm just making sure I'm neat again. My hair was a bit messy.

Rajendra, you want to try the ice cream? I got a taste of Rocky Road here. Chocolate flavor mixed with marshmellow and beans."

Ignacia gives her first bribe to Rajendra. Ignacia deliberately chose this flavor and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough for Rajendra to try as well. His girlfriend said he was full and didn't want ice cream. Though their date is always about ice cream and small talk about each. "No afdol if we don't eat ice cream when we're together" whispered Ignacia quietly.

The man in front of him will certainly love the taste of chocolate with nuts as well as marshmellow because it is basically his favorite ice cream flavor. It's just that he's full and doesn't want to eat ice cream for today. "Later in the afternoon. We can eat ice cream while watching the sunset." Rajendra rejected Ignacia's bribe subtly.

Seeing her girl who seemed disappointed because her bribe was not accepted. Before Ignacia's hand was pulled back, Rajendra put on the body as if ready to receive the ice cream that was still in the air. With pleasure, Ignacia gave the bribe and was well received as before. "How does it feel? Yummy?"

"of course. If you're the one who bribed me, how could it be bad, right?" The world always feels like both.

They still want to take a walk around before returning to the inn and playing water on the beach. The crowded restaurant had already begun to thin its queue. Danita asked the others if they wanted to go there if they had booked a place. If they order, they don't have to queue that much. Ignacia nodded quickly, if the queue was long it meant that the food was good for the girl.

Nesya did not hear Danita's question at the time. He was busy capturing the moment of the sky and the people around. You want to use your camera as well as possible while not at home. Farhan watched from the side. He put his hands on her shoulders so as not to be left behind when walking. This place is crowded, the man is worried if there will be bad things that happen to Nesya.

"You're too happy to want to capture it all. What if we take photos while playing too? Now keep the camera."

"Well, I'll save it after taking this photo." Nesya saw the picture, she showed it to Farhan. "Look at this, I'm getting talented at taking pictures right?" The photos that are there only show the object that Nesya wants to capture. Not following the correct instructions on how to take a picture. The important thing is that the results in accordance with the wishes are perfect for Nesya.

Farhan nodded then took his lover's hand to walk after the others. They play volleyball on the beach and play water. Ignacia was thinking about whether or not her long clothes should be replaced with other shorter ones. Rajendra suggested that Ignacia keep wearing these clothes because the material is not thick. If using short, fear there is a man who spies on his lover.

"You promised to-" Ignacia's words were cut off by the sound of Rajendra's pocket.

"Sorry, wait a minute." The man's phone rang faintly for a long time, indicating that a call had come in. Rajendra had to take his hand off Ignacia for a while to reach for her. Once the phone is in hand, Rajendra returns to hold his lover's hand. This time he did not give distance when answering the call. Fear of being left behind or of something happening to Ignacia unattended.

Who called Rajendra this early in the morning? What is the matter of business that Ignacia must not know? There wasn't much Rajendra said, there were only a few short answers before the call ended. Ignacia didn't know what they were trying to do. "What did you want to talk to?" The focus of this thick-browed man returned to the girl.

Before the sun reaches its highest position, Beach volleyball begins. Ignacia did not know much about this ball game but had played it when assessing the sports field. Even if it's wrong they won't count the points. His opponent is unfair. Girls fight the guys who make more. They are not looking for victory.

Ignacia stood guard in the back. Help return the ball if the men hit it too hard. Although his legs were not agile, at least Ignacia managed to make the ball come out accidentally several times. Forget about the game. They are exhausted and want to play around the beach to cool off.

These six friends were running around barefoot, making huge ripples to hit the others as well by deliberately pulling their partners deeper to get wet. If the others are busy judging each girl, different from Danita who is actually judging Bahri. The man was wet from top to bottom thanks to the ripples made by his own beloved girl.

Luckily the sun is now covered by clouds. They can enjoy the water without having to think about the skin that will darken. Tired of having fun, the six sat on the sand, feeling the waves coming over greeting the feet repeatedly. They were all wet and smelled of sea.

...*****...

"I'm so tired. It feels fresh after the shower." Nesya threw herself on the bed. With his hair wrapped in a small towel he spilled himself for a few seconds. When his eyes caught Ignacia's objection in front of the mirror, Nesya automatically sat down. "Ignacia, today went very well right? How was your morning on the beach."

The girl looked curious. Especially when Ignacia showed a meaningful smile from the mirror reflection. "Come on, tell me. I am new to romantic relationships. And maybe I can learn a lot from elders like you." Nesya deliberately fished until Ignacia threw the towel that was on her head at the girl. The two chuckled to the point of Danita coming out of the bathroom confused.

Still with their heads wrapped in towels, the three girls sat by the window of the inn. Fresh air from the sea went straight in, replacing the entire indoor air. There was nothing they did, just silence and stare at the vast ocean. Wrestling with each other's minds. There were a few things that troubled Ignacia. About the strange feeling Rajendra too.

It will be sunny this afternoon according to weather forecasts. A little public addition won't ruin the afternoon. About later Ignacia will get what honesty from Rajendra about the question this morning. Several times Ignacia breathed a long breath as if feeling very tired from carrying a heavy burden. Nesya and Danita exchanged looks. I wonder what this friend thinks.

Finally afternoon arrived. Ignacia was invited to go buy ice cream before seeing the sunset. The two walked hand in hand towards the shop. "It felt fresh after the shower. What about you?" Ignacia looked at her lover. The man beside her had changed clothes and smelled very fragrant.

"The fresh water is near the beach. You're not tired after playing with water, Ignacia? You're afraid you're tired and you're forced to walk with me." At first Rajendra wants to go alone, but Ignacia suddenly shows up and asks to come along. He said he wanted to stay longer with Rajendra.

Even though he had run a lot and used the power for the sake of big splashes of water, Ignacia was not tired if she wanted to meet with Rajendra. Who can be tired if they meet a favorite man on a birthday? Ignacia was getting excited. Moreover, Rajendra has a promise that he will reveal in a moment. Ignacia was very enthusiastic.

From the grasp of his hand alone already showed the whole heart of this girl. His voice when speaking, his eyes sparkling beautifully, his body language showed a feeling of joy. The trip to buy ice cream is not as far as the restaurant they visited this morning. The place is closer and easy to remember. They had already passed through this place before arriving at the restaurant.

They both sat on the sand. It was warm thanks to the king of the afternoon. Ignacia opened her ice cream enthusiastically. The sun was almost drowned. Many red tinge of orangean are also some purple hues on the horizon. Eating cold ice cream with loved ones looking at a beautiful scene is not something that can be enjoyed every day.

"Says there's something you want to say, Rajendra." Ignacia placed the most comfortable position on the shoulder of her lover. Once he looked at the face of the thick-browed man who was not looking at him. Rajendra tried to compose the word before speaking. "Look easy. We're just here to enjoy some time together."

There was a long pause before Rajendra made his voice. "Slowly I know if you're really serious about dating me. You don't give up on me, care about me, and want to understand everything I do. We fought, but never said we wanted to separate. Did that answer your question this morning?" One question answered. Ignacia doesn't know if Rajendra thought about it long enough.

"And what do you want to say?"

Again Rajendra gave a long pause. This time it was a frightening pause until Ignacia fixed her sitting position facing Rajendra. Ignacia's gaze did not get any reply. There is something in the ocean that attracts Rajendra more than anything else.

"Ignacia, let's stop."

"Stopped? What's that supposed?" Ignacia had to squint because she could not catch Rajendra's words.

"I want to end this relationship. Let's just stop."

The sentence just now managed to bring a powerful lightning strike on Ignacia's heart. His hand that was grasping the vanilla flavored ice cream cone trembled slightly. His body feels very weak. His eyes were almost round in disbelief. A strange oddity arose from Ignacia, "Rajendra, don't joke with that creepy phrase."

Highlight the eyes in welcoming Ignacia's sense of sight. "I'm tired, I want to stop." Rajendra seemed serious.
