Suddenly
Unbelievable, suddenly…
“Not here,” Kai surrender.
“I told you. That doesn't make sense.”
“You seem to know where the real place is?”
“Hey, you're kidding me, Kai?” answer Jeff.
“Hahaha, you're right too. You're stupid.”
“You too, just as stupid.”
“Hey, you two! Looks like we're just being fooled by that stalker crap,”.
“Hey, you're late to realize! Isn't that obvious? You're the only one pretending to be a detective,” Jeff's remarks that make me wonder.
“Jeff, are you sure of what you said? I don't think you're kidding.”
“Iya, are you mad at him?” ask Kai to Jeff.
“Hahaha, what's wrong with you guys? Have you not known me for so long? Of course I'm kidding, I'm not serious about what I said.”
“Ah, I think everyone is tired. All right, get here. We can each go home. Thank you and forgive me, these 2 days are wasting your time.”
“Sky, not like that.”
“You better go home, Jeff. You have to work tomorrow,” Kai continued.
“Why is it like this? Though, I just..”
“You're also tired, Jeff.”
“I'm home,” I said.
“Rest...”
“And you too, Jeff.”
“Alright, I'm home,” Jeff said.
Monday, 8am.
Classes start at 7 am. 45 minutes class ends. My mind is still fucked. Throughout the lecture I only relied on the recorder that I deliberately brought today to record the lecturer's explanation because it could not really focus.
“You okay?”
What happened to me and Kai is already widespread. I don't know who is behind it?
“Nothing,” I replied briefly.
It must be 98% just to pry and the rest ask the situation.
Once the class was over, I guess I had to run away before being surrounded with questions I shouldn't have to answer.
“Is Kai also okay?”
“Didn't he look skinny? Is she okay?”
Should I answer it?
“Everything is fine,” Sky smile.
Ah, recorder…
That's gonna sound.
As long as the sound does not cover, it does not matter. Just sounds annoying.
“I think you should take better care of him and pay more attention to him.”
“If I were his girlfriend, I don't think that would happen.”
“Ah, really? Too bad you're not her boyfriend,” reply me.
“See you at the next meeting..”.
Class is over, bye!
“Halo, Kai?” with a big smile. I can't believe I did it. That kind of thing.
But at least it really happened. Kai called.
Kai's waiting for me in the cafeteria. Today was the first time Kai and I were seen together after Rania.
“Truly crowded,” like go inside sometimes tiger.
Having just stepped foot, the people around seemed to be preparing to pounce.
Kai waved his hand at me, just then the atmosphere changed. Of course, with clear voices in my ears.
“Hai,” my sap.
“You look uncomfortable being here.”
“I? No. gabe. Just a little..”
“What do you want to change places?”
Sky shakes. “Didn't you have class after this?”
“Iya.”
“You're nervous, huh?” I don't think I'm aware of it.
“What does it look like?”
“Yes, what's wrong with you? You can be nervous too apparently?”
“Hey, you once said.what looks amazing is not necessarily what we see.”
“Ah..”
“Sky, you're making me nervous.”
“Hey, your moody expression is also troublesome for me. If I were his girlfriend, I wouldn't let him be like that. Those people said that to me.”
“Ah..”
“Kai!”
Kai ruffled my hair and what happened?
Time seems to stop. People in the cafeteria stopped their activities. Makes me and Kai the center of attention for them.
Kai moved from his seat. Walk up to get a black crackle bag. Then go back to where I was, take my hand and get out of the cafeteria.
“You relieved?” I asked after feeling how cold Kai's hand was.
“Not yet, we haven't arrived at the parking lot.”
“Park?”
“Iya, we just eat in the car.”
“Hah?”
Kai quickly opened the lock and went inside.
“Wah, just this time to see you like that, Kai.”
“That's how I actually am.”
“Really?”
“Ah, all this time you turned out..”.
“Yes, not the real me. Do you know..what's in this crackle bag?”
“I hope it's between ketoprak and hodgepodge,” my stomach feels thrashed.
“And I hope class is canceled.”
“Hey, why is that? You're not focused either?”
“Iya, you too?”
“Yes, not as usual.”
“Come, we eat!”
Kai opened the crackle bag and…
2 servings of ketoprak and 2 servings of hodgepodge with extra crackers.
“Whoaa! You're crazy, huh?” my stomach really can't take it anymore.
“We have to spend it,” said Kai.
“Whoaa!”
Kai really se—prepare that. Carry a medium-sized container in which there are several dishes, bowls, and cutlery.
It's not just that. There are a lot of snacks. Kai immediately took a cold drink because he was afraid it would be useless. “You have to drink it before the ice cubes in it melt,” he said.
The aroma of ketoprak and gado-gado began to dominate the space. Not only is the aroma as fragrant but it also tastes that good. Kai opened the window a little. Kai and I, really crazy. Eat 2 servings at once.
Kai always led me to the situation I am in right now. Eating large portions when his mind is in chaos.
“Are we having a picnic?”
“Iya, in the car,” Kai pecked at my head.
“You didn't polish the rest of the peanut butter on my hair, did you?”
Kai was about to repeat his kiss. “Hey, many rearview mirrors paying attention,” I said.
“No matter.”
The cup!
“Thank you.”
“You never...”
“Early, while you sleep.”
“Hah?”
“Iya, while you sleep.”
“You come every night just to give me a kiss?”
“Hah? What are you thinking, Kai?”
“I've seen you delirious,” continued Sky.
“Ah, I think..”.
“Hahaha, are you disappointed?”
“In your opinion, am I disappointed?”
Sky ruffled Kai's hair and…
“Already, right?”
Kai smiled.
“Kai, hahaha..”
“Iya, why?”
“There is peanut seasoning in your hair, haha.”.
“No problem, haha..”
2 Days after today…
“Revealed you apparently?” Kai seemed unable to accept the reality.
“Why should you, Jeff?” same with me.
Jeff was silent.
“Hey, are you hiding behind what you're doing and making me the accused? Jeff, isn't everything okay? You ruined it, Jeff.”
“All is well, Jeff. Why should you be the one? What's been on your mind all this time? Don't you remember the moment you had with us?” continued Ken.
“Why you..”
“Why are you?”
“Why..”.
Jeff's still tight-lipped. Not a single word came out of his mouth.
