Is There Love

Is There Love
The Emergence of a New Figure


Part 5's


 


I've been waiting two months for news from the airport about Kenzhi, but still no answer. I think I'm out of patience.


 


“Tomorrow I'll be there,” I thought. And tomorrow is the fourth time I've been there after two weeks.


*****


I took a breath, trying to calm myself down. I started to step in front of the ticket counter.


“You again. What else are you here?” Not yet in front of the counter, my steps have been stopped by the security guard.


“I, I want to find out sir.” I feel a little nervous. Moreover, seeing the security guard who is now in front of me with a firm appearance and a face hue is not happy to see me. Still I remember, two weeks ago I scolded him for coming here looking for news.


“Just go home. Free for you to come every week, no news!” he looked at me sharply.


“But sir ... I ..” Not done talking my arm's been pulled out the counter.


“Told you still ngeyel too. No kapoknya!” He scolded me again with a grinning look.


“I beg sir, let me make sure again. This is important to me,” I said begging.


“Cannot. Already.go home!” Get the security guard off me.


“This one time,” please.


“No!” he refused half a call.


“What is this? Why are you angry! What's wrong with my friend?” I saw a familiar figure speaking in an angry tone.


“Sister Gavin, my inner” saw the figure of brother Gavin now defending me. Gavin's brother was my upperclassman at school. He is often called the school's altet, because he is very accomplished in the field of sports. At school, he became the head of the basketball and football teams. However, in other sports he also often took part in races. He is also active in the activities of OSIS and Scouts.


“Who else is this! “ The security guard took a long breath.


“Don't be rude dong sir same woman. Can talk well,”he's angry.


“This time, same. Already, go there! Don't make trouble here. Disturb the mood only.” The security guard was getting bloodied, and he kicked us out.


“Pak, I beg you, just this once.” I kept begging, but apparently the security guard didn't care.


“I said go, yes go! You guys are just making blood.” I saw his teeth begin to crack, his face reddened, and his hands clenched.


“We'd better go. There will be no point in talking to someone like this,” said brother Gavin stepped away while pulling my arm.


“But brother, wait a minute. I ... I...” said I tried to stay here, but brother Gavin did not listen to the words’anku.


Arriving at the parking lot, Gavin let go of his hold.


“Why did my sister bring me here? I still have a need there,” said I was upset.


“For what? Do you accept being treated like that? Don't be so low as before, he can act even more arbitrarily if I don't take you away.” I saw that Gavin's face was still shrouded in annoyance.


“Yes, I was wrong. But am I also wrong, hoping to find some good news about Kenzhi here? I just want to find out Kenzhi's situation. I've been waiting for two months, but there's never been any news once in a while.” My head was down, covering my face that could not hold back the tears that were now melting just so wet my cheeks. I can't speak anymore. My breath was hiccuping and I sobbed in my tears.


“Hey, don't be sad. I'm sorry, my words were rude. I'm sorry Ryn,” said brother Gavin regretting. I was still sobbing, my tongue was still dumb enough to speak. Brother Gavin raised my head and wiped my tears.


“Jagan is sad, I'm sure there will be good news about Kenzhi.” He looked at me with confidence.


“Thank you brother Gavin has defended me. Sorry, brother so my problem,” I said apologizing.


“No, no. I was wrong, my words earlier ...” Gavin felt guilty.


“No. I was just too stupid. Just want to be treated like before,” said I cut the sentence of brother Gavin.


“Ya already.It is better that you go home now,” suggested Mr. Gavin.


“Yes, sister is right. I'm going home now. “ I picked up the phone nailed to my shirt.


“ I'll call a taxi now,” I thought.


“Let me inter.” Not until I hit the number button on my phone did Gavin offer himself.


“I mean, I'll take you home.” I looked at him and I saw that Gavin's face looked nervous.


“Thank you, but I'll go home alone,” reject me.


“Ah, no. Emm .. I mean, as an expression of my apologies for the incident.” Gavin looks more nervous. I feel bad to refuse too. He also seems to feel guilty.


“Alright, I want.” I smiled a little at Gavin.


 


Long story short, I was escorted by Gavin's brother home. Along the way there is only silence between us. Gavin's brother is still busy driving, while I'm just staring out of the car. Seeing people passing through the streets, while my hands were busy twirling the phone I was holding. Suddenly I heard the sound of a rumbling stomach, and it did not come from my stomach. I turned to look at Gavin's brother, his face reddened in shame but still trying to hold him.


 


“Sorry,” he said briefly while holding in shame.


“So definitely haven't eaten?” I asked as I looked towards Gavin's brother. I don't think it's good to see Gavin starving.


“What if we eat together?” bargained.


“But brother hungry. Do not underestimate, later brother does not focus on driving,” I said.


“No, I .. I'm still strong. This is just a common thing that I often experience,” elak brother Gavin.


“Really?” I looked at him suspiciously.


“Iya, I'm really okay.” Gavin continues to hide his hunger. Still I feel bad, but Gavin's brother still has the prestige to admit it. It was clearly visible on his face.


“If big brother rejects my offer, I will feel as guilty as big brother.” This is the last thing I can do to get her to eat.


“You don't mind?” ask Gavin hesitating.


“Why mind? I'm hungry too,” I said as I smiled a small smile.


“Ya. I will find a place to eat around here,” said Mr. Gavin. After a long walk down the street, Mr. Gavin stopped his car at a small cafe on the side of the road. This place, I've been here a few times. I remember, Kenzhi brought me here. And I haven't been here in a long time before now I'm back here eating.


“We eat here?” my many.


“Iya. Why why anyway? You don't like it? Or, we move to another place,” bargain brother Gavin.


“No, I like. Let's go in,” take me. I entered the room with Gavin's brother, then looked for a seat. This place looks crowded by teenagers who fill this room. Either just hogging, or just hanging out. But not infrequently also eat with family, friends, or couples.


“Come, we sit there,” take brother Gavin while pointing to the seat in the corner of the room near the window. I nodded, giving the code that I approved. I followed Gavin's steps towards the seat. I sat opposite Gavin. Not long after we sat down, a waitress approached and gave us a menu.


“What do you want to order?” ask brother Gavin.


“I, order Spicy Thai Chicken lunch and .. drink ... Green tea,”, I said while looking at the menu list.


“Em, mba. I ordered two Spicy Thai Chicken lunch, one Green tea, and one more Orange juice,”.


“Already, that's it?” ask the waiter.


“Iya, that's it,” said brother Gavin steady.


“ Alright, please wait a minute, I'm sorry.” After he finished taking down the order, the waiter left.


“It turns out that it has changed a little, my inner” sees the contents of this room. I remember the first time I came here. It was Kenzhi's birthday. I was forced to eat. At first, I refused because I was prestigious, but actually I really wanted to. With a face pretending to be irritated, I agreed to Kenzhi's invitation. And in response, he greeted me with a smile.


“Hey. Ryn,” said brother Gavin disperse my daydreams. Ah, I'm still daydreaming. Still too carried away by the feelings of the past. Without realizing it, the food had already come.


“Eh, yes brother, why?” many spontaneous.


“Let's eat, the food's coming. Later the cold rush does not taste good,” said brother Gavin.


“Iya kak,” suhutku. I enjoyed my lunch with pleasure. Brother Gavin seems to enjoy it too, seen from the way he eats with greed. After eating, I was taken home.


*****


“Thank you, Brother Gavin has taken me home,” I said after getting off the car of Mr. Gavin.


“Iya, equally,“ said brother Gavin while sharing a small smile on his lips.


“Almost first brother?” bargained.


“No, thanks. I'll just go home,”.


“Amorning afternoon, and I have to practice football with friends.” He glanced at his watch, then turned his head towards me.


“Ooh so, yes it's okay. Maybe, another time can,” said I understand.


“Iya, maybe another chance. Again, I'm sorry for the unpleasant incident earlier.” Gavin's face was still shrouded in regret.


“No, don't apologize continue like this. I even thank you, brother has taken me away from there.” I smiled a little at Gavin.


“Good. We're a series, same one. I go home first, see you tomorrow,” he said goodbye.


“OK,” sahutku brief. Soon enough, Gavin's car left.

I left early today. There is a Monday ceremony at school. I enjoy every movement of my steps while breathing the fresh air of the morning.


 


“Ryn.” I heard someone calling me from behind. I stopped my steps and looked back.


“Kenzhi,” inner me. I saw his face smiling.


“Hey Ryn,” the sweep that now stands right next to me. I didn't answer. I looked at his face deeply.


“Hey, why silence?” tanyanya.


“Sister Gavin,” I muttered after realizing that beside me was not Kenzhi. Ah, it turns out I'm still getting carried away.


“Why sister walk?” I asked for wonder. Because, I don't usually see Gavin on foot.


“It's okay, just want it.” He put on a small smile which then widened.


“Ooohh. Brother's car where?” my many.


“Home. I was lazy to get in the car. Turns out, walking is better,” he replied. I didn't answer, just a small smile.
