Old Jacket
Chapter 25. Finding Answers.

The days changed weeks and then the months changed. After the departure of Lana and Bang Nusa I continued to carry out activities as usual. This time I added some friends to help me keep an eye on this tour. Bang Apoy and I sat on the porch with our laptops in front of us. More and more waterfall tourism days are getting crowded with the addition of new activities that we make. In between the busyness, Bang Apoy asked me.

" How's the bar? " sanyanya.

" If according to the writing of his article now he is in central Java bang." said I.

" Well, how is Bang Nusa? my answer.

" Yes, he once told me that he was fine there" Bang Apoy replied.

I just nodded in understanding and looked back at the laptop in front of me. I didn't feel like I was sitting for so long until the afternoon. I went into the house to lay down my body and then followed Bang Apoy who laid his body beside me.

" Bang grotto again bosen nih, kanya tomorrow cave off work" said I.

" Same cave too, tired of the power we need to walk deh "he replied.

" The cave agrees, but where? " tanyaku.

" How about the beach? " She said.

I agree with Bang Apoy, then I give advice to take Lia and Naya vacation to the beach. Bang Apoy agreed to my advice, and then Bang Apoy and I grabbed their phones to tell Naya and Lia about the holiday. We were waiting for a reply from them, before long a message appeared from my phone screen. Naya agreed to my invitation, but Naya asked me to ask her parents for permission. I responded to her request, and then Bang Apoy's phone rang.

Bang Apoy smiled as he looked at the screen of his phone.

" Lia agreed to the bar with our plan, but she's usually tomorrow after the bar" Bang Apoy said.

" Okay, no problem" I said.

The next morning Bang Apoy went to the city to pick up Lia at Station , while I chose to take a break because later in the afternoon I was going to Naya's house, asking for permission for her.

When afternoon came, I took my motorcycle to Naya's house. Upon my arrival at his home, I was greeted by Naya's father who was sitting on his porch chair.

" Naya. there's Bara ni. " cried Naya's father.

I heard Naya's reply from inside the house, before long Naya came out with coffee and some sponge bread. After a pleasant conversation with Naya's father, I immediately discussed the plan to take Naya to the beach tomorrow.

" O ngizinin you ngajak Naya, om believe in you" said Naya's father.

I'm glad Naya got permission from her father. After getting permission not long I say goodbye to prepare the equipment.

Upon my arrival at the house near the waterfall, I sat back on the terrace of the house while playing the guitar waiting for the night to come.

When night comes, silence is getting louder. Only guitars and cigarettes accompany tonight until late at night.

When morning came, I woke up from my sleep and prepared with my carrier to pick Naya up at her house. Upon my arrival at Naya's house, it turned out that she had prepared with a small backpack on her back.We drove on my motorcycle to the gathering point to meet Bang Apoy and Lia. We soon arrived at the gathering point .

While waiting for Bang Apoy and Lia who had yet to come, we sat in an empty stall by the side of the road.

" We are waiting for Bang Apoy with Lia nay" I said.

Naya just nodded, before long Bang Apoy and Lia came from behind.

" Have you been waiting for a bar ?" tanyakanya.

" This is Naya bar? " cock Lia.

" When the cave has not been told why you can know? " i replied astonished.

" Yes who else klo not he who told the cave "he said as he turned to Bang Apoy.

I took a deep breath, and then we went to the beach. We were on a motorcycle for a long time. We walked down the mountain road, which transformed into an urban street and then turned into a rural road.We arrived at the beach in the afternoon. Rushing we dismantled the carrier and built the tent. We also prepared a meal and a campfire for the evening.

Sunlight is now orange, indicating the night is coming. Naya's eyes seemed to be hypnotized in ephouria. Naturally this was the first time he had seen twilight.

" The view is very good" said Naya.

" I've seen it a lot, but it never makes me bored "I answered.

Soon the orange light slowly disappeared leaving darkness in the universe. Only the campfire illuminates us. While waiting for food, I sat alone facing the sea. Suddenly Naya came up to me and invited me to eat with Bang Apoy and Lia. After that I sat a little away from the tent with Naya facing towards the sea with a star ornament on it. Then I picked up a piece of mail I wrote last night on the porch.

" Nay, I have something for you" I whispered.

" What is mas ? " answer.

" if you want to open it, you open it" I said as I gave him a letter.

Naya

I'm not as good at words as my best friend Bang Nusa.

I'm not good at writing like my best friend Lana.

And I'm not as brave as my best friend Bang Apoy.

I love you Naya, do you want to be my girlfriend?

A simple sentence that became the answer to my non-conformity with my friends.

Naya was shocked when she read my letter. I just kept quiet while waiting for his answer. We looked at each other, then Naya nodded her head in the sign she accepted my feelings.

As soon as my heart blossomed, I felt happiness . Naya just smiled in embarrassment. I held her soft hand until the night got late Naya decided to go into the tent to rest as well as Lia.

Now Bang Apoy and I sit facing the sea with cigarettes in our fingers.

" I have found a way out of my anxiety bang "I said.

" The cave can not force to be Lana, Bang Nusa or Bang Apoy. Klo cave forcing cave will fail. It is better to use the cave way of life for realain love to Naya.

" How did you shoot Naya? " tanyanya looked at me.

" Yes bang heheh "I answered.

Bang Apoy just patted my shoulder with a smile. I'm sure Lia might have heard my words from inside the tent. Tonight Bang Apoy prefers to enjoy the atmosphere with silence.

" It's true we can't be those who go to achieve dreams. It doesn't matter if I'm just a home for the adventurous because I've found a dream. Thank God, thank you universe" I whispered with a smile
