The Angel of Time
chapter 7

It was January 13, 2017. I'm done with work. That afternoon I wanted to go back to Magelang, because I had a day off work tomorrow. What else does the weather look like is pretty sunny.

I came home on my motorcycle satria f150 warana black gray. Until Muntilan I stopped, because I was hungry I stopped by Olive. That's where I ordered my meal.

Suddenly my HP rang, I saw there was a Bbm from Astrid.

"Where are you?"

"Go home, how?"

"Can you ask for help? Take me to Bantul, to my father's friend."

"Yes, but I want a haircut first. Want to keep handsome haha."

"What's that scramble?"

"Hahah.. Trace it andand!! Tomorrow I'm off."

"I'm going to Ketep tomorrow."

"OK on ready,"

After the meal I cut my hair, and returned to Jogja. Until the rain falls. I don't care, the important thing is that I get to see him first.

I'm heading to mes, I'm going to take a shower and get changed.

"On Astrid's goleki." (In Cariin Astrid) said Vidi one of the employees.

"Rubber?" I said (time?)

"Let's goleki Astrid" said Omes reassuring me, (he was looking for Astrid)

"You are rene jare mlaku" said Omes, (here on foot he said)

"I don't want an item, a katane doesn't need to" said Vidi, (want me to take it away, he said, don't need it)

"But want nk in keke kowe deke guyu" said Omes.(but earlier if between you he smiles.)

Either, I feel happy or relieved to hear the testimony from them. My legs moved and my hands grabbed the door, I opened slowly and closed it again.

I went to my motorcycle and sat down. I reached for my phone, I sent him a message wanting to know where he was at the moment.

Not long after he replied and asked where I was. Shortly after, I asked him to come.

My eyes were fixed on my phone screen, turning to the street hoping that he would soon emerge from in front of me. The sky no longer lowered the water, as if I had agreed that night I should rush with him to his destination.

Suddenly he came, with his motorcycle a black-colored beat. I saw her approaching, she was wearing a white helmet, and she must be wearing a hijab.

Then we went together, to Bantul where his father's friends lived.

"Where are we headed?" my many.

"Ke Bantul, I'll lead you later, all look at Google Map. I don't remember either." obviously.

There was confusion on the way, but we got to the house of a friend of his father, whom Astrid said was his brother.

We entered in the alley where I was still confused until now. We stopped in front of the destination house.

Suddenly a woman not too old, opened the door, and smiled greeting Astrid. I still look at them greeting each other. I'm still sitting on a motorcycle, but Astrid asked me to come in.

"You're healthy? Ask the mother.

"Yes" Astrid replied with a grin.

"That's who?" ask the mother again.

"Take a friend" replied Astrid.

Astrid looked at me and walked over to me, asking me to come into her house.

We converse. I don't know, my mind starts hallucinating if I'm Astrid's candidate and then I'm introduced like this. Haha that just feels funny.

Shortly after we said goodbye, after arriving outside I waited for Astrid who was still talking to the mother. I approached wanting to know what was going on.

He held his hand holding the envelope.

The mother refused, and felt sincere because she could help Astrid when she was hospitalized.

But the mother insisted that she ask the money to be saved. Astrid fell, and she put the envelope back into the bag she was carrying. We got back on the bike and left Mom's house.

"Can I say no?" I said.

"What by the way?"

" If in Java it's not like that

thanks."

"How come?"

"If you give goods will even be in

thank you, in Java the goods you give will feel more useful and valuable, than money."

"I don't know." replied Astrid.

"Yes, next time if you want to thank you for using the goods will be received, because we have struggled to find the goods and will be received."

"Ok, next time."

The night was getting late, the atmosphere on the highway was also a little quieter.

"Can I have it?" I said.

"What's the?"

"Why did you take me, and not the others?"

"What's up, you mind?"

"Not that, just wondering why I'm the one you're asking when there's another."

"The others? They're busy, and you're free."

"Ohh, yeah."

I'm not satisfied with the answer, I still want to know why. But I chose silence.

"Have you eaten?" ask Astrid.

"It was in Olive when you chatted me."

"Have I eaten?"

"Where do you eat?"

"At pecel lele Janti. I like eating there."

"Yes it can."

We headed to Janti, right under the flyover bridge and near the railroad tracks, and we ate fried catfish plus she liked to eat fried eggplant.

We are talking about tomorrow who wants to go to Magelang, to Ketep where he wants to go.

"I love eating here because I can see planes passing by."

"Hmm" I just smiled.

What else when he ate by making a sound out of his mouth. "Ckckx"

"Why are you laughing?" ask her.

"Yes you eat it funny, the sound. You're older than me, but you look younger than me."

"Yes, I stamped on Mamah's omelin right in the hospital gegara I just ate the sound."

"Hahahaha, that's not polite." I said.

"Yes, help me not make a sound."

"I can only remember it."

The sky looks bright, allowing the stars to shine their light on the earth.
