Chapters 18. Bad Prejudice.


The day had gone by, I woke up in my sleep. I saw Rimba who was still asleep in the room, while his friend was busy playing games on his phone. My body is still tired due to the climb to Mount Merapi yesterday makes me want to sleep again. Before long my phone rang, a short message appeared on my phone screen. 


I miss, can we meet later? . Fill message.


I agreed to ask her to meet him later even though my body was still tired. Before long I opened my laptop to write a few chapters in my article about my climb yesterday.  


After finishing with my article, soon Rimba woke up from his long sleep and sat down beside me.


" How is your article finished ? " he said while burning cigarettes.


" Udah, the cave just now "I replied.


" Thus how, where do you go ? " said.


" Light be tomorrow the cave home, klo lo? my spoken.


" Tomorrow the cave will go on to wonosobo, meaning this is the last day we meet huh ?"  said it.


" Yes that's how the rim is "my answer.


After burning two cigarettes, I stood up and walked towards the bathroom. After that I saw the clock hand pointing at the number four, before long my order arrived at the gate. I say good-bye to Rimba and his friend then headed to Dinda's boarding house.


Finally I arrived at the gate of Dinda's boarding house, before long she came out in neat clothes.


" Yok na, we go for a walk" he said.


Even though my body is still tired, I agree. But it's okay, today's my last day in Jogja.


We huddled down the city street, looking for a suitable place to talk. On a motorcycle my gaze was fixed on a classic-style cafe. I remember the coffee shop owned by Uncle Bara, it felt like I had not visited him for a long time. Then I stopped my motorcycle in the parking lot and walked into the cafe. Inside the cafe my eyes are made to blink with the classic style that makes visitors comfortable, plus a large bookcase with books in it.


" Want to pesen what mas "he said.


" Robusta coffee, what are you pesen? " i looked at Dinda.


" Cappuccino is "the answer.


We sat across from each other in a very unique wooden chair. 


" Ndaki yesterday how na, smoothly right? " said.


" Alhamdulillah lacar din, dapet sunrise good again. "I replied.


" Where's loy ? " said.


The waiter came to bring our order. Then I pointed to Dinda from my phone. I saw her happy face when I saw the photo from my phone. Dinda told me that in a week he would go to climb Mount Kembang with some friends on the campus. 


" A college event or just a vacation? " saying.


" Just a vacation, okay? " the door.


I was silent to Dinda's plan, because she had never climbed a mountain at all. But Dinda whined forcing me to agree.


" Dear can ya? after all, my friends have also been to the mountain "he said.


" Yes, "I answered.


With a heavy heart I allowed him to climb the mountain. Dinda's face smiled happily.


" Dinda I'm home tomorrow" I said.


" Yahh, the cepet behind it "the answer is soft.


" When I can come here again "My words are comforting.


The look on his happy face suddenly went silent saying nothing. I understand the longing is still great, but I have to go back home.


" Dinda smile dong, Iyaa sometime I'm here again will deket "My words comfort.


" Yes, baby " said my name.


Dinda's face smiled again. Instantly I was surprised by the arrival of Rimba with his friend who entered through the door of the cafe .


" Loh na, again here it turns out "said friend rimba shocked.


" Ehh ya ba, brother coffee too ? " saying.


" Lah, the cave is often here, the servant is the girlfriend of the cave hahaha "he replied with a small laugh.


" Yaudah bang, join here only" I said..


I introduced my girlfriend Dinda to Rimba and her friend. I told Dinda about Rimba and his friend. Quickly they got to know each other, we chatted awkwardly until night fell. I'm still interested in the books lined up neatly on that big shelf. My steps approached the shelf that was right next to me. I sorted out the books, long enough for one book to draw my training.


" How much does this book cost ?" my spoken.


" klo masnya want to bring aja mas, gapapa kok "answernya.


" Seriously mbak? " saying.


" Yes seriously "his answer.


After saying thank you, I sat down again but I didn't read that second. I just didn't want to ruin the atmosphere in our conversation. 


" Na turned yuk" said Dinda.


" Come on "I answered.


I say goodbye to Rimba and his friend and walk out of the cafe. On the bike I saw Dinda's tired face. But he refused to go back to the store. I understand about his invitation to take me home first, it turns out he wants more time with me without any interference from anyone. Stupidly I am insensitive to his wishes.


" Din." I said.


" Yes my lan, why? " answer.


" I don't feel good, you go up the mountain" I said.


Dinda was silent and said nothing. I still hesitate to let Dinda climb the mountain even though I know she climbed with her friend who often understands about the mountain.


" I'm sorry, I'm not going to be ngizinin you " said I.


" So you ngizininin me why not now? I don't want you to go up the mountain, why don't you let me go up the mountain? " answer.


We had an argument but I kept my stance forbidding him to climb the mountain. Dinda was speechless, so I finally decided to take Dinda home.


Upon our arrival in front of his boarding house, I said goodbye to him to go home. Dinda was silent with an angry face.


Then I stepped away leaving him. I gave her time by leaving her alone, hoping she would understand the good purpose I forbade her.


On the way home, I tried to fight with my own logic. I felt uneasy when I allowed it, as if something had happened to him.


I arrived in front of the house of friend Rimba, who was there Rimba and his friend sitting relaxed while smoking a cigarette. I tried asking Rimba and his friend about my problem.


" According to the cave that has climbed there, the track is tame, the path is clear but at that time the cave was hit by a storm, understandably the cave to climb in the rainy season. Klo your girlfriend wants to climb there in a week again kanya aaman na anyan now the dry season " Said friends Rimba.


The feeling of my heart was a little calm even though it still felt like something was odd. I tried to ignore my bad thoughts by joining their jokes.


The next morning while waiting for my order to arrive, I say goodbye to Rimba and his friends who have accommodated us here. We also share mobile phone numbers as silatirahmi ropes. Soon my order arrived and this time we had to split up.


On the motorcycle I tried to inform Dinda through a short message if she was going home. My message was only read by him.


Dinda, I'm sorry about last night's accident, after I thought, I'll let you climb. Fill out my message.


This time Dinda immediately called me in a happy voice and said a promise that he would be fine when climbing. Dinda also planned to come to the station but she was late when the train bell that would take me home arrived. I rushed in and said my greetings, heard from my phone an upset and regretful remark from him that could not take me to the station.
