Before the engine catapulted and drove back to the road, Ram sent a short message to someone. I don't know who and I didn't ask him either. I didn't want to act like a possessive, all-round girlfriend who wanted to know Ram's business, so I didn't ask anything but to ask where he was going to take me.
"To the beach."
"Seriously?" tanyaku. "We're going to the beach tonight?"
"Your expression says you're happy and don't mind at all."
Eh? Ahaha! Sure oes. My short-brained brain thinks the atmosphere on the beach must be quiet these nights, and we can spend all night alone.
"How could I mind?"
"Yeah, look in your eyes says everything."
"O yeah? What did my eyes say?"
"What's in your head. I can read it clearly."
My God, a red hue runs through my cheek. "I've dreamed of moments like this for eight years. And I don't want to lose that chance."
Ram nodded sympathetically as he reached out to rub my cheek. "I'll redeem everything that's been lost between us" he said. "I'll make your days more beautiful, and I'll make sure you'll always be happy. I promise."
"Oh, that's so sweet. I trust you. Thank you, Mommy."
Practically Ram turned his head back and looked in wonder at me. While I was smiling, it was a pleasure to be mixed with shame. The man's eyebrows were sticking up as usual. "What did you call me?"
"Mas. Mas Ram."
He's nodding. He likes and agrees even if he doesn't say it. "What a dream last night, huh? How come it was suddenly called Mas by you?"
"I don't know what your dream is. But my grandmother and aunt protested against me for calling you by name alone. So, yeah okay. I'd rather call you Mas than call you Akang."
Ram nodded back. "alright. I love hearing it."
"I knew. You'll always love anything sweet between us."
Ram assented with sparkling eyes. "By the way, we're going to Madasari beach. It's a little far from here, about an hour and a half. But at least it's safer. I don't think uncle and aunt would have known that this niece took a girl out all night."
"I understand. Don't talk about it, will you?"
And that doesn't need to be discussed.
We arrived at Madasari beach almost twelvepm. Ram parked his truck, went outside around the car, and opened the door for me. I realized there were still a lot of vehicles parked there, in the parking lot. "Oh, there are still a lot of people here" I murmured.
"Yes. The people who camp."
"Camping?" many enthusiast. "Are we also...?"
"certain. Tonight for you."
Oh, yey! It was impossible to be unhappy and jump into his arms. "thank you. Thank ye. Thank you." Thank you." I kissed her cheek. "thank you. I love you so much" my voice shrieked with excitement.
And Ram gave me such a tight hug. "Anything for you, honey."
Aaaaah, it was never imagined that Ram would understand my wishes. Miss Rich is too familiar with luxury hotels and even cruise ships. But all this, even my father would never allow me to feel it. Definitely not because he is incapable, but because he will look down on what he thinks is inappropriate for his favorite child.
Well, it's strange that rich lady wants this kind of thing. But for me, I'm very happy to have this opportunity. And this is not at all insulting. It'smy dream. Sleeping under the stars, with the lover of my dreams.
"You're the best."
Ram is happy to see me happy. "Come," he asked. "You must be cold."
Eh? Wh why? So he warms me?
Oops! Ngarep....
Ram pulled me to the water line. He stopped about ten meters from where the waves ended, took off his leather sandals and rolled his jeans to his knees. I just put on a knee-length dress and put on flip-flops, easily taking off my sandals and leaving them in a safe place. I kept running, I let the sea water splash on my legs, the temperature suffocated me in shock.
"Cold?" tanyakanya.
Huh! He was just watching me there. Wanted to make me feel cold, but he hesitated to move his legs.
I've never been to the beach this night, on such a beautiful night. The sky was very clear and the moon was like the light of a floodlight specially lit for us, illuminating the sea water and turning it into a layer of omnipotent glass. Sea water ripples in a fast rhythm, like chasing each other. And every time the waves inched closer to where Ram stood, my beloved took a step back. He looked up and looked at the horizon. I tried to persuade him to come near me, but the more I begged, the further he retreated.
"Come on," I said. "So you said you wanted to make me cold."
"I changed my mind. Hurry up and get out of there. You'll get hypothermia." He stood up with both hands put into his pockets, while deflating his cheeks.
"No way," I shouted. "I want to dance with you here. Please, come here. Please, the moon is almost full up there. Give me sweet memories, my dear...."
That was when his facial expression changed from serious to naughty. He looked at me closely and took a step towards me. When he felt the coldness of the water, he inhaled a lot of breaths and jumped at me. After standing before me, he hugged me tightly and his lips splattered into a wide, nosy grin. He kissed me instantly, humbly* my lips, so wild, he devoured me with the exact same freedom in my dreams.
"No," he said quickly with his teeth clenched. He immediately lifted me up and carried me on his shoulders as if I were as light as feathers on his arms.
I thrashed. "Down me, Mas..," I cried.
But he insisted on taking me to the edge. "Don't be naughty. We could get hypothermia in here." He lowered me and pulled my hand while his mouth continued to babble. "Come on, put your sandals on and we go straight to the tent. It's late, you should go to bed."
"But we haven't danced yet." I protested.
"Tomorrow the night."
"His bonfire?"
"Tomorrow."
"Burning?"
"Tomorrow nights, dear."
"Then what else? It's full night tomorrow, isn't it?"
Ram stopped his footsteps to pinch both of my cheeks. "I'll eat you." Then he tickled my waist.
He made me thrash around while laughing giggling.
"Come on. We should go to sleep. I don't want you to get sick."
Alright. I comply.
Ram had ordered a tent for both of us and it was neatly installed. Before we came in, he covered my nose. "It's a tent, and not a bridal room. Okay, Sweetheart?"
But I ignored it. I went straight in and sat down to my feet, grabbed a bottle of mineral water and drank.
"So, are you comfortable if I sleep here too?"
Uhh! Sometimes he makes me snarl. He's insensitive or what, anyway?
"I want to sleep in your arms" I protested, sulking and throbbing. "Are you not able to touch a little?"
The man even laughed. He took off his footwear, lay down on the mattress and pulled out the blanket. "Come, here."
Well, Purna. Don't sulk. Let it go if he can't be romantic.
Immediately I slipped under her blanket, propped my head on her shoulder and placed my palm on her chest. I wanted to open the buttons of the shirt that covered the chest of the field, but I did not dare. The self-esteem I want to lose is still in me.
"Mass?"
"Emm?"
"Tomorrow to wake me up early, yes. I want to see the sun rise."
"Yes if I wake up. Look what time it is. Maybe we'll wake up. I have no interest in seeing the sunrise. I just want to see you, the most beautiful Full Light."
Uuuuhu....
Ram kissed my forehead. "Tomorrow you'll look just as beautiful as the full light up there. The full light is mine."
Oh.. My chest is filled with happiness....
