Other than waiting, there was one more thing I hated; time so quickly rolled around feeling at the peak of happiness. It feels like just yesterday I exchanged professions with Mas Manis, in fact tomorrow is already April 30. That means togetherness with Mas Sweet is soon over.
It is so hard to part with her. The reason was simple, my heart had already fallen in his heart. Suddenly I felt someone touch my shoulder. “Segitnya ngeliatin calendar. What are you thinking again?” ask the guy.
Without even looking I knew, the one who touched my shoulder was none other than Adeena. “Gue again keinget tomorrow the contest deadline novel.”
“Long. You must be baper again because tomorrow the last day of the same profession exchange Mas Sweet, right? I'd say if you're hard parting with him.”
Damnit. This is how it is if you have friends who have known each other for years. I could never lie to Adeena. “Yes, that's it.”
“If you are heavy parting with him, you should make him hang on your side.”
My right eye is raised. “In what way?”
“Ya you have to make her a boyfriend or even a future husband.”
“Means I have to declare love to her dong?”
“Yes is. Mas Sweet Lu is a chef not a mentalist magician who can read the minds and contents of people's hearts. You also no longer play soap operas, which is where your heart can cry a lot of people.”
Jem!
Adeena when it comes to talking about love, it's always true. “But I prestige tauuu realain love first to guys.”
“Yakin still want to keep prestige? Lu willing Mas Sweet taken another girl?”
I shook my head quickly. “Well, that's why your hunt is what I said!”
“Deen, if I really love to Mas Sweet delicious make how to look elegant, romantic and not cheap?”
“That's your job thinking to yourself. I'm going to pull it off to the printing press first. Bye.”
He's evil. Just leave me alone when I still need advice from him. Come to think of something strange with Adeena. Why is he suddenly so ambitious to want me to be with Mas Manis? Ah, nevermind. Instead of thinking about Adeena, I think of ways to express love that is elegant, romantic and deigned not cheap.
Novels. One word that crossed my mind. At the beginning of meeting Mas Manis, I had time to write a novel about him. I just happened to have printed the novel but it hasn't been promoted. I'll write a heart poem on the back of the novel. It turns out that expressing love to a guy is not as difficult and exciting as I imagine.

The day of the profession exchange has arrived. I chose Kalibiru Tourism Village as his farewell place. In this village is a natural tourist Yogyakarta which is again on the rise and famous for its beautiful scenery from a height. Starting from the view of Serma reservoir to flying fox on the hill. No less beautiful with the cliffs of the palace in Bandung.
5 cuisine menu consisting of sego liwet, gudeg, rawon, sissy noodles, and ipau besumap has been presented on the dining table. The food I made. If there were no trade, I wouldn't have learned to cook. Boro-boro learned to cook food, learned to cook water never. The point of the profession exchange brings its own blessings to me. While bringing love.
Mas Manis was busy watching and tasting my 5 dishes. I approached him too. “Where is my cooking better than the first one yesterday?” I asked so next to him.
“Lumayan. At least your cooking this time does not make me toxic and muntaber. Hahaha.” He's snapping.
Damnit. The first time anyone bullied me. I was singing 5 cm lips. He's evil. His words struck the heart. Is this karma because I like to throw spicy sentences every time I criticize people's texts?
“What matters is that I have successfully cooked. Uh, Mas from tomorrow will we return to do our respective activities, we will be difficult to meet. Before parting can I not want something with you?” I started to lure the conversation in a serious direction.
"What's the?"
"What are you going to do in front of him?"
"Go back to South. Perhaps, God is not permitted to open a branch outside of Kalsel. All portions are arranged. In Java, there are many craftsmen. Chicken noodles, Boiled Noodles and others." There was clearly a tone of sadness when he said that sentence.
"Cock-whatever anyway? Warung Mi Bancir Mas Agus it gives its own color loh in the city of Yogya. The people of Yogya so tau Mi Bancir typical culinary Kalsel."
Now it's my turn to be sad. That means, Mas Agus will go home. I'm gonna have a harder time meeting him.
Mas Agus waved his hand towards my eyes. "Hey, how about a bag? Your face look sad too?"
"Sadly abis this surely we will be more difficult to meet."
"Cealah, use everything. You just calm down, I'll go to Yogya often."
"I want to say something to you, but I doubt."
"Udah said aja. Do not be harbored later into liver disease. What do you want to say?”
“Can I ask you to stay by my side?” I was actually back at him.
Frowns are clearly visible in my eyeballs. “Means?” Sweetie failed to understand.
I pulled out a novel called ‘You are Love’ from the sling bag I was wearing. Then I gave the novel to Mas Sweet. “The answer to my question is in this novel. Read until the ending. Especially on his last page.”
“Oke, thanks.”
“I go home first yes. It's been awaited by Adeena because.” I reasoned. What really happened was the more I was around him, the more I loved him. What if he rejects my love? There I fell back into a broken heart.
As fast as lightning I shook my head. Can't be negative thinking. Something bad is born out of our minds. Therefore I have to be optimistic about the way I bring Mas Manis to stay by my side.

Coming home from meeting Mas Agus, I went straight to Adeena's house to vent. Adeena is on the terrace.
"Abis where are you?"
"From meeting Mas Agus."
Eyes widened. "Shoot him? How's the answer going? Accepted for sure, right?"
I let out a broken cry. "Hailamaaa. Hicks."
"Well, why even mewek? Why?"
"Mas Agus Abis is going back to Kalsel. I must have been rejected. If it is accepted we will be LDR or I have to move to Kalsel. How is my business here?"
"Hey, how pessimistic is that? Not exactly Kinta Adriana Agatha. After all, why worry about business anyway? There will be me. I'm ready to help handle your business. Lu just sat there so sweet Madame Agusta Wimala and enjoyed the benefits."
I wiped the tears. A sense of relief runs in the heart. "Seriously want to help my business even if I move to South Korea?"
"When am I not serious about you?"
I held Adeena tightly. "Thank you very much. You are my best friend who gasket good and reliable."
"Masamas. But my salary is double."
"Berez. Easy."
Now there is no more worry. Pray that Mas Agus will accept my love.
