Towards the Lunar New Year, Solo City with all its diversity as usual put up a thousand lanterns. The lanterns were installed starting from the Pasar Gede area to the front of the city hall. At night, the streets around the place are also closed because of the free night car event.
Every night for almost a whole month, the area was filled with a sea of humans. Starting from children, adolescents, adults, to the elderly, not least Darma and Ara.
Tonight was their first date after officially becoming lovers a week ago, and Ara chose this place as her destination.
Darma's sturdy fingers did not give the slightest chance to have Ara's hands free since they began to enter the place. "Fear missing. You're small" he said, who kept getting pinch on the waist.
"Sakittt ...."
"Who told you to do it!"
"Yeee deed ...."
They walked along while arguing. To the extent that they do not realize that the two have now reached the western part which is fairly quiet.
"Well, it's been here. What do you want to eat, Ra?'
"Turn back to where it was, huh. Thirsty, I'm gonna go get some iced tea."
"Ice tea time?"
"Yes, it's mineral water."
"By!" Darma laughed out loud. A moment later, he ruffled Ara's hair.
"Collapse, nih!" Ara tidied her hair with her fingers.
"Pretty pretty, really. Yuk, the photo here is not too rame." Darma pulled out his phone.
Dozens of pictures were instantly stored in the man's cell phone memory. Afterwards, they walked to a stand that sold iced tea.
"Later to send the picture to my house, yes, Mas," Ara asked before sucking the drink.
"Pay!"
"Generic, weeee ...." Darma sticking out her tongue. Still indifferent to the sulking Ara. Because, with his expression like that his girlfriend looks funny in his eyes.
"Udah, don't sulk. I buy you a balloon? Uhuh!" He pointed to the balloonist.
"You think I'm a kind of kindergarten kid! Dah, ah, I want to buy some snacks!" Ara stepped ahead of Darma, but the man swiftly grabbed her wrist and returned to hold her.
"What do you want?"
Ara's forehead frowned confusedly. Three times he ate with Darma, the man always chose food from the famous restaurant. So, is it possible that the man would want to snack in a place like this?
"Emang Mas Darma wants to snack in a place like this? Kan—"
"You, coke. What matters is that the place is clean." Darma cuts before Ara finishes speaking.
Ara mangosteen. His view then circulates and the grilled sausage stand is his choice. "Eat some grilled sausage, yeah. That one over there."
"Can."
They set foot toward the place Ara pointed. After fifteen minutes, they sit in an area that is quite quiet to enjoy sausage and pentol kuah Darma desire.
"What do you do with pentols, Mom?" tanya Ara who was made to gawk when Darma wanted to buy food round.
"My sister's school assistant is selling like a good gini, Ra. I'll take you there sometime, you'll like."
"Umm .. may, may," answered Ara while hissing softly because of the spicy taste of the chili sauce contained in the sausage.
"Drink first." Darma gave the girl's iced tea which was still half over. "Oh, yes, tomorrow I go to Surabaya about a week. From there, you I took to my house."
"Uhukk .. uhukkk!" Ara was coughed until the iced tea in her mouth turned into local rain. In the next instant, the girl's eyes were already staring anxiously at Darma. "Mas .. if abis UMPTN how to go to your house?" He tried to negotiate.
"Because. My mom wants to see you, Ra." Darma smiled, then grabbed Ara's hand and held it. "Don't worry. Later I will definitely be next to you continue, really," he added followed by his lips that kissed the back of the girl's hand.
