The Angel of Time
chapter 40

On a cold night, I was still waiting for him. Sitting on Astrid's motorbike beat that he used to use to go to work, and go everywhere. I looked at the clock in my hand, almost ten minutes I sat waiting for him. It may be dancing, or it may be getting ready\-ready. The sound of feet coming closer. The gate I have been with since is now open. Astrid opened the gate and immediately locked it back.

The fragrance of her distinctive perfume, which I am so familiar with. He stood in front of me. I noticed her lips which she began to curl into a smile.

"Have you?" my many.

"Come on." he answered, as he walked and climbed behind me.

We started to drive, leaving the gate that was a silent witness to our every encounter. The road seemed lonely, only one or two passed by us.

"What time is it still open?" ask Astrid.

"Emm try it." I replied.

As is my custom, either it's closed or it's still open. Still I'll make sure to come to his place.

"We went with mymoon again" Astrid said.

"Hey?" what that said, I don't understand.

"My motor, I'll name it mymoon."

"Bring my bike I named sati aja."

"When I haven't been to Jogja, I've been close to a guy, your cake hair is like that. He also wears a black knight just like you."

"Have you?"

"Yes, I was once made comfortable with him. Go everywhere often, your perfume is the same. That's why when I first saw you, I worried about you. But not the same, your hair is long, I think of kek sasuke hahaha.."

"Haha kangen band?"

"Seriously.. If I see who this is, it looks cool, sweet."

"Hahaha sweet, keep helping you out in the back right?"

"When you helped me, I didn't care what you taught me. I even smile while talking in my heart, this is the sweet one earlier."

"Yes you first call me when I cook that rice."

"Yes.. And after that we're this close."

"Just because we're shift tukeran."

"Haha yes, directly abducted into the ketep."

"Haha.. Kidnapped but made a smile."

There's always talk every day, that's Astrid.

Arriving at the clearinghouse, we stopped at a small shop that used to be closed during the day and open at night. I ordered two crackers, for me and for him.

"I'm at home like to buy a gini cake." Astrid while stirring up her coriander seasoning.

"Usually there are ketoprak sellers who roam." he added.

"I just ate ketoprak this time." I said, tasting ketoprak that I had stirred.

I saw Astrid eating her armpits voraciously, and I? Gosh darn.. I honestly feel a little strange. I put it aside to the side, I ate something else first. But this is too much of a vermicelli, my God.. It's me who's not happy or anything.

"Enak right?" ask Astrid.

"Kid son." I replied.

"It's delicious.."

I'm sorry I lied to you just not to let you down. I just eat it. What does this feel like, but I can't possibly set aside while he bribes me several times. It's like that time, he made delicious fried rice just in my opinion a bit sweet. That is still what I spend. I eat this ketoprak in half, but I don't feel good about him. Don't let him be disappointed by taking me here, and I don't want to eat. Ouch... I drank a few times to help me swallow. Even hers was about to run out, mine was still half of it. Gosh darn.. How did he not end? I was also in the bribe.

"Why aren't we finished?" ask Astrid.

"Yes, you just wait here."

"What do you want?" my many.

"You pay for this first."

"Once in a while" I said.

"No! Your money you keep."

He went to the seller. He never wanted me to come out with money. He doesn't want my work money to make a\-road with Astrid.

"Where are you going now?" my many.

"We're going home, but you want to go to the star hill first?"

"Yes come on."

I never refused if he wanted to leave I was always ready to accompany him.

We headed for the star hill. To a place I've been, but never enjoyed. But on the way Astrid was no longer vocal. As usual, he was asleep on my back.

"Astrid.." I tried to call him. I stopped by the side of the road, and we were almost there.

"Hey.. Astrid.." My hand rubbed her head.

"Mmmm..." Astrid opened her eyes looking beautiful.

"Udah wants to get to this.. What do you want to do to go home?" my many.

"When you want to wake up.. I'll just bob."

"Hmm yeah.. Hold huh?"

"Yes.." Astrid put her head on my shoulder.

I finally continued my journey. His hands hugged tightly. I've never experienced anything like this. It's the first time I've gone without knowing the time, with a loved one but without having. Relationship without status? Ah maybe friends think that girlfriend is more appropriate. I never asked her to break up with her boyfriend. I never even discussed his relationship with his girlfriend. I don't want to be called a usurper, I won't provoke him, or find any way to break up.

This is not my plan, it's destiny. Meeting Astrid was not an accident. I knew him without asking his name. Getting attention from him is not because I'm a caper. If she would eventually become my wife, I don't know what would happen to me. She never told me about her feelings so I could know her heart. His attitude shows that he loves me.

My eyes were glued to the glitter of a\-light that looked like a star. After passing the uphill road finally reached Bukit Bintang.

"Astrid, it's here." I said. But Astrid did not wake up.

"Dear awake.. I'm here." I rubbed his head.

"Hmmm.." Astrid opened her eyes.

"Where do you want to sit?" my many.

"Go home. I want to be bobok."

"We're home already."

Oh, my God, this short. Far\-far come here haha. But it's okay\-nothing, just for a moment he saw the beautiful sparkling lights of the city of Jogja.

"Aren't you going to sit down?" my many.

"Dear, tomorrow again."

"Yes already.."

I turned around and headed home to Jakal. Astrid's back asleep on my back. My hand rubbed his cheek, he did not respond to anything. It's been really good.
