The Angel of Time
Chapter 66

The night when we had finished renting the hungry odong-odong had attacked all of our stomachs. Although some snacks have filled the stomach but if not filled with rice it feels worms in the stomach simultaneously doing a demo.

"Would you eat this?" Ask Dita,

"Giyok, lethargic ora wetenge?" Omes threw a question at me,

(Giyok, hunger is not his stomach)

"Let's golek golek!" My leg,

(Let's get some food!)

"No Astrid lager?" Ask Dita,

"I want to eat, if it's okay later.." Answer Astrid,

"Let's buy some food outside.." Omes stroking his hair,

After I, Astrid, and Dita agreed with Omes's reply, we all finally headed to the parking lot to immediately forage elsewhere. I followed Omes who didn't want to show me somewhere.

We passed through the city, I was a bit confused when I reached the city. Because I don't know the direction it's going to be just following the pace Omes was carrying his bike.

*******

Tonight the sky looks beautiful, the stars twinkle with the night wind blowing. A dark place to return to a place brightened by city lights we passed. Until I finally saw Omes stop by the side of the road. I also stopped. Then he parked his bike on this side of the road. There are many motorcycles that have been lined up neatly with men wearing orange vests and holding red light rods.

"Nitip bags?" I said that to the parking attendant wearing the orange vest.

"Yes, don't need a handlebar key!" Ask the parking lot, please,

I was amazed by the small restaurant that appeared before my eyes, I thought we were going to eat at the catfish pecel or where. Omes and Dita walked ahead down the small stairs, while I stayed behind Astrid. Waw I saw dim lights adorning the walls, and lined small gazebos. Yes at most fit four people, it will certainly feel cramped. Finally we split up the seats, split the two places. Astrid and I sat together, for sure. And Omes was also sitting opposite Dita. I looked to the right and it turned out to be the river.

"What do you want to order?" Astrid asked by holding the menu book in her hand,

"I'm a roast chicken.. Tomato sauce."

"We buy two but the sauce is different." Said Astrid,

"Emmm just as much as drinking me guava juice.."

"There again?" Ask Astrid,

"Emmm that's it.hehe."

"OKAY.."

Astrid called the waiters who were ready to pick up my order and Astrid.

"What did you see?" Ask Astrid

"Oh just look at that there's a bridge, this restaurant is on the river bank.." I said,

"Do you not like it?"

"Like, it's romantic.. Many hahaha.."

"Where is this?" I was wondering,

"On Sayidan! You've never been here?" Ask Astrid,

"Not yet, this is my first time here."

"Cirain has.."

"No, I don't understand the area."

"Eh, the drink came!"

Late at night, food filled the stomach. Finally we decided to go home, but we had to return Dita first to her boarding house earlier.

*****

"You sleepy?"

"Hmm." Astrid Sahut,

"Yes, you're booby, we're going to get there.."

"Astrid is sleepy, look at the yellow star.." Astrid's voice is spoiled if it's sleepy,

"Where is yellowstar?" I convinced him, though,

"Mmmm..." Astrid Sahut,

"I love you." While stroking his cheek,

He must have been tired, after paddling odong-odong, also playing masangin, eating grilled corn, to Sayidan as well.

*****

Either there's something that makes me not remember how long Astrid will stay in Jogja. Every day, they accompany us and are always together. Although sometimes there are things that make us fight small, but it is only temporary. Because I've always been afraid of his passing in a bad way.

*****

Day after day, it made me always remember things that might eat up too much of my memory. Yes, Astrid took away my memory. Because he always makes me think about it. Astrid and Astrid, fill my head with it.

Sitting quietly, but making me smile. I saw pictures of the two of us in my cell phone gallery. Since the start of going to Ketep, until the next days there are always photos of memories that continue to be stored.

I tried to send her a BBM message, this miss never ends.

"Darling.."

I saw my message was read, but why not reply? I'm trying to send you another message.

"Darling.."

Hmm still he did not reply. What's the matter? It worries me. I tried to call him, but he just refused.

"Why you?" I tried asking, though,

"Ga papa" he replied briefly,

"I want to see you."

"Well?"

I'm getting anxious, and confused. When the nature has changed it feels like a natural disaster is happening. It confused me so much!

"Why are you angry?"

"No."

"What am I wrong?"

"Something."

"Don't that, baby!"

"Continue?"

"I love you.."

"Oh."

This is certainly angry, but I who had just sat and ate fried food, do not understand what my fault is and where it is wrong. It makes me think negatively about it, my stomach gets hot. Has he changed his mind? Aahhh is full of erratic prejudices. I want to see him, because the problem will not be solved if only through chat.
