Tell a Story About Us

The night air hit Bina's face, making the girl close her eyes to enjoy. The atmosphere was silent, but not as awkward as before. Irgi's motor drove slowly as usual, making them longer on the road, plus a sense of silence created, making their trip this time really feel slow. It feels like the road to the boarding house of Bina feels very long tonight.

The lights produced by vehicles and tall buildings converge to brighten the darkness of the night, helping the moon and stars. Crowded voices are also racing with a voice that is now inaudible. A little stuck because this is the time for humans to enjoy life, free from the bondage of work and lessons, free moment that they must really enjoy, before tomorrow will be the same again.

“Bina.” Irgi did not mean to call, he just muttered a little.

But Bina heard it. The girl cleared her throat. Remembering they were just sitting on a blue vespa that was speeding slowly. Making the sound of air cannot beat their voice.

Irgi sighed, itching his lips to directly express the things he had in mind. He intends to talk about it when they have reached their destination, so that they are also more free. But it was not able to stand it once Irgi wanted to say.

“What do you have to do with Revelation? You guys deket or what?” Irgi asked slowly, he was afraid to make Bina hurt and strip back.

Getting that question made Bina uncomfortable. “Nothing,” he said slowly.

“You have the same feeling Revelation?” Irgi asked back.

Bina cleared her throat for a moment to Irgi's question. He was also very confused about his feelings. A feeling that has recently arisen when near Revelation. Can you say that feeling is in love? What Bina fell in love with Revelation. The feeling of happiness and as if he forgot all the problems of his life if he was close to the young man, what can be said is the feeling of falling in love. Or is he just comfortable? In, Bina only considers Revelation a friend. But his feelings say not only that, and he is confused what the intent of ‘itu.’ is

“Bina. But please do not make Revelation hurt, do not make Revelation feel disappointed with everything. He's my friend, he doesn't know about us. I'm afraid that he knows and is heartbroken by the decision that you and I will make.” Irgi said slowly, very slowly, he was very careful in saying.

Bina silently did not answer, she also realized how Irgi was doing. Moreover, his mind is now propagating on Sila, the girl may also be hurt with him, if he does have that feeling on Revelation. About his feelings, maybe he will not make it all clear, Bina will keep it without knowing what it is.

“Not that I forbid you to fall in love or anything, I do not forbid it. I am also with women now. Maybe, if you want to make a love relationship, please do not with Revelation, I fear Bina.” Soft Irgi speech.

Bina dehem, maybe if he was in the same position as the young man before him, he would also choose the same path that Irgi went through now.

“I fear Revelation disappointed with me, I fear she hates me.” Irgi said slowly. Though Revelation is his friend, he fears that their friendship is strained by his own decision. Even though he did not know what decision he would take later, he was still afraid. He was afraid that it would change everything.

“If you do have feelings for Revelation, please solve our problem first.” Irgi.

Bina just silently listened, she did not know how to respond. He really doesn't know how he feels. And rightly said Irgi, before he took the decision to ascertain his feelings for Revelation, he had to resolve about himself as well as Irgi. And he himself, can't do that. Please, that girl is also still thinking about. Bina straightened her body, silent, thinking of many things in her head.

The sound of vehicles again dominated their atmosphere. No one spoke, no one opened their lips. They were silent for a little longer.

“I'm sorry..” Irgi's voice broke through between the sound of the vehicle.

Bina looked up at the tall buildings on the side of the road. Some of the light from the windows was dim, although there were still many windows that emitted yellowish light.

“Make what?” Ask Bina lirih.

“Yesterday I snapped at you.” Irgi is more subtle.

Bina just cleared up.

“I'm sorry.” Irgi paused long enough. “I'm too emotional,” the young man took a deep breath. “I'm sorry,” he said once again.

Bina wants to cry. He remembered his father for some reason. Irgi, who seemed to be desperately rejecting him, while Bina even lightly nodded her head. Her father. The hope of Irgi, the hope of his father, his parents, Revelation, Sila, or whose hope he should realize. Himself? He still has hope for himself.

Bina wanted to run, scream, escape herself from the expectations of others. And will realize his own hope, he will have his own hope. Not realizing the expectations of others, not confused should realize the expectations of anyone. Just himself and his own hope. But can he himself? Wouldn't everyone hate him?

Bina breathed deeply. His mind is not necessarily in the direction. Creating a mirage, which will never come true.

“You want to eat ice cream kak?” Bina asked, after her eyes accidentally saw the glowing writing in color, inscribed with the name of one of the minimarkets that is quite famous.

“Udah malem, still want?” Irgi asked back, which Bina answered only with deheman.

“Oke.” Irgi said, turning the steering wheel of the motor towards the minimarket.

...

“Which one you?” Irgi opened the ice cream parlor, looking at Bina.

Bina held her chin, thinking. There are so many brands and flavors of ice cream plastered there. Starting from common flavors such as strawberries, chocolate and vanilla, to unique flavors such as hinhomi flavor. However, one that became the center of attention of Bina, a brand of ice cream with a chocolate flavor that the other day he enjoyed with Revelation.

Bina moved her hand, about to grab the ice cream stick that had just stolen her attention. But Irgi's hand precedes him. The young man picked up one of the chocolate-flavored ice cream corns next to the ice cream spot that Bina wanted to take. Until Bina looked at the young man.

“Udah? Yuk pay.” Irgi walks ahead of Bina to the cashier to pay for their ice cream, after the girl nods her head.

Then-travel vehicles, street vendors, and humans who come in and out of the minimarket is now their view. Enjoy one ice cream in each hand, without blurring any dialogue.

Bina bit her ice cream corn, turning to Irgi who was still enjoying her ice cream. The young man leaned leisurely on the chair, watching one of the street vendors in front of the minimarket. An old father of a chicken noodle dealer who deserted his buyer. I don't know what the young man was thinking, so his handler wasn't distracted by anything.

“Kak.” Bina called.

Irgi looked at Bina. The young man did not scowl with a voice, only his expression that showed a look of questioning.

“I can ask?” Bina asked carefully.

The young man simply nodded not blurting out an exaggerated expression.

“Similar facilities Brother Pita?” Bina asked quickly, then turned her gaze to the streets not wanting to see Irgi.

Irgi did not immediately reply, his expression did not change, just ordinary. The young man was silent for a moment, staring at Bina whose gaze quickly switched impressions - here and there I don't know what. Irgi took a deep breath, turning his gaze back to the father of the chicken noodle seller.

“Ngak.” Irgi answered after a long time of silence. The tone was ordinary, no anger or anything. Just like the usual Irgi, soft and calm.

Getting the answer, Bina immediately turned her gaze to Irgi. “Terus?” Ask curiously.

"I was told Pita to deket another woman..” Irgi. “I don't want to, but he maksa.” Irgi did not turn his gaze.

“Why.” Bina tilted her head asking confusedly.

“You don't need to know.” Irgi said softly.

Bina was silent, there were still many questions in her head, but she could not say them. From the young man's expression, he could see there was a sense of sadness there.

“Intinya, do not want me to deck with other women.” Irgi looked over with a faint smile looking at Bina.

Irgi's eyes that look at him emit sadness that can not Bina response well. Bina confused to respond how. Honestly, it was very slow to feel. Do not know what to respond to serious chatter or behave like when in position now.

“Go home yu.” Irgi ended his gaze with Bina,

The young man stood up, walking first without Bina's consent. Bina was still sitting in her place as the young man walked away past his own motorbike, going nowhere. Until the young man stopped at the chicken noodle cart he was staring at a moment ago.

Bina just sat quietly watching. He saw the young man chatting with the salesman who was making an order, sometimes they also laughed for some reason, because Bina could not hear him. Until the seller and Irgi exchanged goods, the father handed him a black plastic bag no matter what it contained, and Irgi who handed over the money.

Bina just got up from her seat and walked, after seeing Irgi walking up to her motorbike.

“You want to?” Irgi showed Bina a black plastic bag in her hand. “I'm full.” Continue, smile.

“What?” Bina accepted, and looked at the contents in that plastic bag.

“Mie chicken.” Answer Irgi.

Bina flanged, he handed the plastic back to the owner.

“I'm also full.”

The young man scratched the back of his neck in confusion. “How to do this?” Irgi looked at Bina asking.

“Kalo full why buy?” Bina asked back. Confused by the behavior of the young man before him.

“Kasian Bin, he said no one has bought.” Irgi.

“Yaudah love someone aja.” Bina smiled.

Irgi nodded his head. “Yaudah let's go home.” The young man rode his motorcycle, invited Bina to come home. Let him give the chicken noodles to the kids on the street.
