SYAHDU (Contract Sleep Friends)
Strawberry Milk

...PoV Syahdu Larasati's...

"Lo bring what stock, Din?" Ask Alika.

"Diagulau. Fried chicken. This I brought my sambel made. Bueehh. will call you on!"

They started talking about food and obviously I was excited because I liked the discussion.

Then my phone shook, I thought it must be from Brother Wicak. But it turns out... Arga.

I glanced at him who happened to be sitting before me. He focused on his cell phone, occasionally sipping cigarettes with Ibra.

He asked who I was in the car. I don't think it matters. Want in the car who also does not matter origin to the destination safely.

"If you, cook what, Ras?" Ask Alika.

"Well, I made blackpaper beef, oyster sauce sausage, and chicken fillet."

"Wuaaah. It must be so good.." Adina Seru.

"Lo pinter cooks the cake, Ras." Alika.

"No, really. It's also learning."

"Oh yeah? Studying with who? Want dong, come learn." Adina continued enthusiastically.

I glanced at Arga at a glance, he smiled obliquely at me. Shit, fucking pretentious.

"Learn themselves. From gugel." My original reply and Arga just shook his head while exhaling cigarette smoke.

My phone is shaking again. Still from Arga. I replied quickly and then hung up the phone because I didn't want to be caught.

"Why do you muke, Ga? Suddenly that?" Ibra asked, making me look at Arga. The man exhaled smoke along with a sigh that looked irritated.

"No. My client is stupid." He sings at me for a moment.

Well, I know he's insinuating me. Let it.

"Eh, sorry-sorry. Guess it's stuck." The clouds suddenly appeared after 10 minutes we were waiting for him.

"For a long time, Waaan.." Naya stands with her backpack on her back, ready to go straight to Arga's car.

"Yes, sorry. It's jammed!" The answer.

"Macet ato overslept lo!" Alika Seru.

"Gosh, I don't believe that much. Yauda come on, move now!" The clouds helped me carry my backpack, and of course I followed her into her car.

"Eh, Wan. It's all ready, right?" Ask Ibra on the Cloud. He has to make sure we can sleep properly up there later.

"Udah. Beres, anyway. It's all in my car." Awan pointed to the trunk of his car.

"Yes, cuss!"

Everyone moves to their own place.

Adina followed me to the Awan car. The rest are in Arga's car. But indeed, the Awan car cannot be entered by many people. The back seat is full of stuff.

"Wan, there's a lot of lo." Adina said as we got into the car.

"That's our gear there, you know." Cloud Sahut. His eyes were focused forward with the steering wheel.

"This is how many who brought??" Ask Adina again.

"Yes take it equally. My time doang. This is a hill anyway. Not very high and the car can still ride until half. So, okay if you just bring the little stuff up."

Clear Cloud. Then he glanced at me sitting next to him.

"Nape lu's. Tangled that. We want refreshing. Muke lu betukkuk time is that."

"Neverything's okay." Answer directly.

"Sad he will not see you in two days." Ledek Adina in the back.

"Yes elaaah. Courtship has been credit to your gugel company, still so rich." Cloud Eject.

"Kok gugel company, Wan?" Adina Protest.

"Yes that. The home loan is five years. Lah, him. It was a long time ago. Sample forever mah, no kelar."

Adina laughed out loud, while I just smiled in response. My eyes are getting sleepy.

"Wan, how many minutes, the champagne." I asked the Clouds.

"Yes, you just answer me that minute, Wan.hahaha." Adina chuckles.

"It's about 2 or 3 hours."

"Old, yeah." My complaint.

"Lo was just sitting next to the door. I was driving. Could be complaining." The cloud protests began to grow noisy.

"If so, I sleep, yes. It's so sleepy." I also set the bench position to be lower and make me comfortable.

"New way too. Your time wants to sleep! Just let me know!" Cloud Grousers. But I don't care. I kept my eyes closed because last night I slept so little.

"Ras, wake up."

Dina patted my shoulder. I gasped and found the car stopped.

"Udah nyampe, huh?" I ask who is still not a hundred percent aware.

"Yet. Again stop at the minimarket, buy snacks for snacks above. The others came down. The cloud asked for a rest."

Hearing Dina's explanation only made me realize that the clouds were no longer next to me.

Then my eyes looked ahead. There Awan was calling while the others sat at a small table in front of the minimarket while chatting casually.

"Old time, Din, stop it."

"Ten minutes ago, anyway. Said Awan, you do not need to build. But I thought, just one time there's something you want to buy."

"That's sleepy. I'll go to the toilet first, huh." I said while opening the door.

Just as the car door opened, I already felt a cold chill seeping into my skin.

"Cold. Abis ujan, huh?" My toot.

"Engga, really. It's cold here. Ibra said in 30 minutes. Lo pake jeket, deh. I'll wait outside." Adina got out of the car and I was looking for a snag in the backpack.

I looked around for the jeket that I used to carry when I climbed, but did not meet. I'm sure I put it last night. But, why isn't there?

I even found something I didn't recognize in my bag.

I took it out, and was silent for a moment, trying to recognize a black-lavender sticky that could somehow be inside my bag. Then I tried to check the bag I opened, probably Adina's. But no, it was my bag.

But this snag, who's it? I kept thinking, it was actually mine. But no, it's definitely not mine.

I see that jeket is still labeled. And when I saw the expensive price, I immediately realized that it must be Arga, exchanging my clothes for the clothes he just bought last night.

I looked towards the man. He was singing while playing guitar with the others. Sometimes he glanced at his cell phone on the table.

Tokks.tokk..

"Ras, very long. Buruan, I'm peeing." Shouted Dina from the front of the car window.

I don't want to wear that jacket and it feels very comfortable.

I got out of the car and with Dina walked past them because we wanted to go to the toilet first.

I could see Arga's eyes pulling her slanted smile with a quick glance at me, then I ignored her.

After finishing from the toilet, Adina immediately joined singing and sitting next to Naya. But I'm still standing, because the only seat left is next to Arga's.

"Ras, sit. Here, drink." Alika placed a box of strawberry milk in front of the table whose stool was empty.

I know, I should just be normal. So, I sat down next to Arga and the man continued to sing with Naya and Ibra.

"Here, replace me who plays." Ibra takes the guitar from Arga's lap, and begins to move on.

I held the milk box. Actually, I don't like strawberry milk. But since this was Alika's gift, inevitably, I drank it.

When I took the milk, my hand, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Arga touched it a little hard until it fell.

"Eh, Sorry. Not intentionally." He said to me, but had no intention of picking up the fallen milk and continuing his song. Damn it.

I looked down and picked up the milk that had fallen under the table. Fortunately it has not opened.

But when I wanted to raise my head, Arga's hand stuck down with a box of chocolate milk. Screaming up, he sings with passion. Very clever, I thought.

But, good too. You see, I'm afraid of nausea when drinking strawberry milk. I also took chocolate milk in Arga's hand and replaced it with strawberry milk that fell earlier.

I sat down again with a chocolate milk drink given by Arga.
