"Babe, it's so pretty!" Anya exclaimed, she was delighted with the beautiful bag from the Dior brand.
She continued to look at the small black bag with a big smile, David saw it also smiled and then said, "Just put it in the basket, I bought it for you.""Are you serious?" Anya asked again with an excited and incredulous reaction, but she immediately hugged David tightly before putting the small bag into the shopping cart.Inside the shopping bag there was already some makeup, clothes, shoes, and bags from the brand Dior, said to be their latest product that had just been released. Of course the price wasn't cheap, but it didn't make David instantly poor. He had too much money.David was happy to see his girlfriend happy, even when he paid for the dior bag with cash. They left again, heading for a place Anya hadn't been in months.The watch shop they visited with enthusiasm, there were many customers, and a wide variety of luxury watches. David bought a pair, for him and for Anya as a sign that they were a good match.Of course, Anya wore the watch immediately because it was light blue. Her favorite color and the color that David likes, but not so much. David prefers navy, he said."Babe, the watch is really pretty, you know? It looks even more beautiful on my hand, you know what makes me happy," Anya said. She hit David's right arm lightly before closing her lips because she was still looking at her beautiful left hand.David just smiled at his girlfriend's funny behavior. He never thought that a gift that he thought was inexpensive could make Anya this happy. "Babe, are you hungry? I'm getting hungry.""Come on, let's eat!" Anya took David's left arm who wasn't carrying a shopping bag. She led her boyfriend away from the increasingly crowded watch shop.However, before they reached the elevator to the third floor, they had to stop. David reached into his right pants pocket, grabbing a cell phone that was ringing quite loudly."Hello, why Dim?" David said.Anya only paid a glance, she chose to pay attention to the surroundings which were still crowded. There were many shops as far as the eye could see, but it didn't make her interested in visiting."I happen to be here with Anya, where are you right now?""The cafe on the first floor, close to Roti'o. Do you want to come here?" David said from the other side of the phone."Yes, I'm going there right now with Anya.""Okay, I'll wait.""Okay." David disconnected the phone, the flat object he was holding was immediately put in his pocket again. "Honey, let's eat with Dimas, okay?""Dimas, is he here?"David gave a small nod."Okay, let's go!" Anya took her boyfriend's arm again and led him to the elevator to go to where Dimas was.It took them very little time to leave. Dimas waved with a friendly smile when he saw David, and Anya had arrived. The couple placed the groceries on the remaining empty seats near Dimas.David went to order the food Anya had requested, and Dimas had requested as an extra meal without paying since David would be footing the bill this time."So much shopping, are you going out of town?" Dimas teased when he saw Anya's shopping."You're jealous, aren't you?" said Anya in a tone that sounded teasing. "Buy it, don't be jealous of me, ask David!""David has a lot of money? I'm not sure.""Oh, don't get me wrong. He has a lot of money, you're the only one he never buys luxury goods for. That's why if you ask your cousin for something that can be an investment, not food!"Dimas nodded his head with his lips turned up slightly. He looked at the contents of Anya's shopping bag that David placed beside him. There were many items that he thought were very expensive. He looked back at Anya with a flat expression, but then turned mocking. "You said investment, but this stuff can't be resold.""Ih, you're really making things up," Anya said unhappily."If you really want to invest in a limited edition, Anya, not something like this!""Why are you so annoying as a person? Can't see people happy a little bit? The feeling from then until now has been mockery!"Dimas laughed out loud at that annoyed reply. He couldn't believe the sentence he had just heard, but on second thought he really liked making Anya angry. "I'm sorry, you're so cute when you're angry.""You can't be like that, how will David find out and get jealous?""How?" The heavy, slightly hoarse voice made Anya and Dimas turn their heads, Anya saw David walking with a tray of food that looked heavy. David sat next to Anya without giving her an angry expression."Babe, your cousin is really mean, you know? He's been making me upset, so I don't like him.""Dimas, don't make my girlfriend upset!" reprimanded David casually."Babe, don't be so casual! Try to be rude to Dimas once in a while, so that he will be discouraged!" explained Anya who was getting annoyed, but Dimas just laughed in his place."Oh, why are you two so cute?" said Dimas, who was still laughing.David joined in the laughter before enjoying the spicy ramen of his choice, then he told Anya to quickly eat her food which was about to get cold. The two of them ate quietly, while Dimas stayed where he was to watch.He didn't know what else to say because the topics he thought were serious weren't in his head. It was all mockery for Anya who loved David so much, and David loved Anya so much."David, what are you afraid of?" Dimas finally said."Afraid of what?""Going bankrupt, your girlfriend likes to ask to buy luxury goods, aren't you afraid of going broke?""Look at that, Babe, he's at it again!" whined Anya, this time more annoyed because her face was as red as a boiled crab.David rubbed his girlfriend's right cheek to keep it from turning red, but he also laughed for a while. "No, I'm not afraid of going broke. Giving something to my partner makes me happy, so I'm sure that I won't go broke.""You won't go broke because it's your Mom and Dad who work, hahahah!""Hahaha, you're right.""But anyway, Anya." Dimas began to look at Anya with a serious look, but Anya gave him an annoyed look. "David wants to go hiking.""Uhuk!" David choked, he was glaring at Dimas now."Really?" Anya asked in surprise.Dimas nodded guiltlessly at his cousin. "He wants to climb Mount Salak, it will take a long time. It's about a week.""Hah, are you for real?" Anya gave David a disapproving look, her eyebrows knitted together with her lips turned up slightly. "Why did you climb the mountain for so long? Where is Mount Salak?""It's close by, it won't take long, it'll only take a week. One week has seven days, so it's not that long. You just relax, I'll come home safely without any shortcomings," David explained quickly, he was still annoyed with Dimas who laughed in his place."You don't want to tell me first, but is there a girl there? If there is a girl, I want to come with you anyway!""Why do we have to walk when there are pedal bikes, Grandma?" Silva tried to avoid the puddles. All the way from home to the tea garden she had to look at puddles, and it was hard to find good roads like the ones in her neighborhood. Maryani was still leading at the front, her hands behind her as she hummed. This 76-year-old woman looks very healthy, and still quite young. It could be said that she is ageless because she lives in a village, but Silva doesn't want to take her word for it because she believes there is something that keeps her grandmother looking young. Like a secret recipe, or a family recipe. "Grandma, why is there a hole in the road? Why don't you fix it?" shouted Silva, this time louder than before."I'm not deaf, Silva.""Ehehe! I'm like that because Grandma won't answer my questions.""Firstly because walking is much healthier, it burns more fat than cycling. Secondly, this road has been repaired, but it's a big loss because a lot of big trucks pass by," Maryani
The tall man with slightly long curly hair staggered into the house. His eyes were bloodshot, the smell of alcohol wafting through them as he passed. The gaunt face looked even more sinister because of the bloodshot eyes, Surya touched the doorknob when he felt he was about to fall. He opened the door to the kitchen slowly, walking back to the dining table in the corner of the room. However, his steps had to stop because he stepped on something that made him frown. He saw the doughnut batter he stepped on, his right leg was so dirty that his long jeans were covered in doughnut batter even though it was only a little bit. That annoyed expression came out as soon as he looked down, he grabbed the tray containing the doughnut dough that was rising then he slammed it just like that. Not only doughnut dough, he also slammed the cooked doughnuts many times. A loud noise in the kitchen made several people come out, they were surprised at Surya's behavior this morning."Father, those donuts
This morning the wind felt icy cold, the jacket was not expert enough to warm the body. Regina hugged Resa's waist so tightly while enjoying the scenery along the way to school. There are many sights that she can see, various kinds of food smells, and the shape of the food being sold she can see. Yellow rice, and buns look tempting. She wanted to buy one, but Regina knew she didn't have enough money. Money was precious when it came to food that could be used up in one sitting, unlike goods that could last for several years if they were of good quality and not cheap. "What are you thinking about, Regina?" "Nothing, just looking at the scenery on display," Regina said simply. Her gaze shifted to Resa's tall, wide back. "What were you thinking about?""Just thinking... you're sad. How are you feeling today?" Resa glanced at the rearview mirror, a faint smile growing as he knew his sister was doing well. "Fine, I'm very happy this morning. Thank you for all the advice, and counsel you
"You have no intention of meeting that beautiful girl?" asked Tere, who was annoyed with Resa because he had been busy filling out TTS, and playing rubik's when he didn't know the answers to some of the columns. Resa shrugged his shoulders casually, as he tried to think of filling in the last blank column. There was no right answer in his head right now, as if his brain stopped running because Tere was staring at him sharply. It could be said that Resa's brain was scared by Tere's deadly stare. The silence of the class made Tere even more annoyed with Resa, even her eyes squinted with a hardened jaw. Her right hand clenched into a fist, and then she hit the desk hard. The sound that came out was not so loud, but it was able to make Resa surprised. Even the book was almost closed, as if there was a strong wind coming. Resa looked at Tere in displeasure. "What's wrong with you?""What's wrong with you?" Tere snapped. "Do you actually intend to help me? If not, you should have told me
Sunlight enters the classroom through the windows that are not covered by curtains. Some of the desks near the window were glaring, making the occupants of the desks choose to cover their hot faces. Some choose to leave, to join their friends without disrupting the lesson. Ratna - the English teacher who had just finished her notes on the white board began to sit without her square glasses. The thick book became the object for her to start focusing on, she marked some important parts with a red pen, and some with blue. The unsettled atmosphere of the class didn't upset Ratna, she stayed focused on her work at the table. Occasionally, she would look around the room with a quiet gaze. She noticed some of her students who were busy taking notes, but she gave them a simple smile before resuming her work. Silva who sat on bench number three from the front, close to the windowless wall was busy watching the sunlight. With her right hand supporting her chin, she was so focused on the sunli
The return bell was not as loud as usual, not knowing if there was a problem or not, but all the students hurriedly ran out. While Silva, as she usually walked slowly, didn't want to follow like the other children. She chose to walk leisurely to enjoy her short life, not because of any illness or anything. She didn't know when death would come, and enjoying life every day would make her happier. As Silva stood on the top step, she saw that the schoolyard was full of students. Students with private vehicles had to wait patiently in the courtyard near the big mango tree. They had to wait until there were no pedestrians in the courtyard, as per the principal's order every morning. A reminder before the start of class. The girl resumed her pace, but a little faster this time. She passed by various motorcycles of different colors, still walking upright without looking the other way. However, a face she recognized made Silva run over. She was standing near the security post now. "Hi, Res
The bicycle stopped right in front of a coffee shop that was quiet, even though it was still eight o'clock at night. Resa entered the angkringan without looking around, his right hand waving when he saw Mr. Muh standing near the table. The old man smiled so wide that Resa stood in front of his table. "Good evening, Resa.""Good evening, Mr. Muh. It's so quiet, is it really quiet or have many gone home?" Resa's eyebrows knitted deeply. "Many have gone home, I also don't know how strange it is today. It seems like there are many people who have busy activities tomorrow, don't you have any important activities tomorrow morning?""No, tomorrow is just like any other day." Resa looked the other way, and his attention focused on a person in a cream-colored jacket eating hot coffee, and a chocolate donut with half of it left. His face was familiar when the sunglasses were taken off, a faint smile came out before Resa turned to Mr. Muh. "Sir, I will count my mother's rice later, I have to m
The brown ball soared high, and then into the basket very smoothly. Dimas cheered his victory, and David was still down 10-6. The game ended just like that, David chose to sit on one of the brown chairs while sipping his mineral water in a glass bottle. Dimas walked over after picking up his basketball. He hugged the ball while keeping an eye on his cousin who looked exhausted. Sweat was pouring down his face despite the chill in the air tonight, and Dimas admitted that he was feeling hot right now. "Your house is very hot," David said after Dimas sat down next to him and leaned back. Dimas nodded in agreement, but his attention was still focused on his favorite basketball. "Even though there are many trees here, the wind also comes in turns. But it still feels hot, I don't know why it happens like that.""Why not make a basketball court inside the house? Give it an air conditioner like the ones in elite schools, isn't it not difficult to do that?""No, of course it's easy." This t
The girl opened her eyes in surprise, her eyes so red with an expression of both shock and confusion. The familiar room made Silva let out a sigh of relief. She covered her face with both hands for a long time. The dream this time felt so real, she never imagined she would have such a terrible dream. It's just that Silva doesn't understand the scene of peeling the skin of her own hands, and the blood that comes out with a fairly long duration of time. Unlike the other dream, she dreamed with a stranger she recognized in the dream, and now forgot the guy's face. She never even remembered having a friend named Chandra, or a former lover. "Silva, are you okay?" A noisy voice sounding very worried came as the curtains were rudely drawn. Tama sat in the visitor's chair by the bed, his face looking pale, but Silva had an even paler face with cold sweat on her temples. "I've never heard anyone being delirious with screams, but this time I saw it."Silva's forehead knitted, not understand
"Honey, I need you to clean the kitchen while I clean the front yard. If there's anything, you can shout to call me or you can call me!" Chandra said, and Silva nodded in response. The tall man with cropped hair walked out of the living room. He went to the front yard, which was really dirty, with lots of grass, and dry leaves that he hadn't burned this morning. The atmosphere of the mansion felt strange to Silva, but there were no strange thoughts in her head. She chose to get up from the sofa, walking towards the kitchen which was not too far from the living room. It was at the back, a fairly large, long room. There were two wooden cabinets that looked old, still used to store a lot of cutlery, and plastic food storage boxes. The glass cabinets were used to store cooked food, and cutlery that was about to be used. Silva watched the large room for a few minutes. She never understood why people made kitchens bigger than rooms, and why kitchens looked dirtier than other rooms. It w
The girl walked with a sense of turmoil, the uneasy feeling lingering until she stepped foot in the school. She felt annoyed at herself for not setting an alarm last night, and went to bed immediately after turning off the television. Tengku had done the same, even the man himself had told Silva to clean up the mess they had made in the morning. Breathing in slowly, her attention turned to the scene to the right, but the figure beside her startled Silva greatly. Fortunately, she did not scream, but the man burst out laughing. Tama had always been the most annoying person after Resa. "Good morning, Silva," Tama said, his laughter stopping as soon as he looked straight ahead again. "Did you stay up so late last night that you have bags under your eyes?""Yes, I woke up at noon, and mom scolded me.""Was it because you were chatting with Resa that you forgot to sleep?""Oh my gosh, why are you saying things that are unpleasant to hear? Of course it's not like that, I was watching the s
The door opened slowly, revealing a tall man in black pajamas rubbing his right eye slowly. The darkness of the room made him yawn before finally taking a slow step after closing the door again. The noise in the other room made Tengku frown as he poured water from the teapot into a glass cup. He quickly gulped down the mineral water to keep his throat from feeling dry. Tengku stepped out of the kitchen, a slow but steady pace that he reserved for the noise that intrigued and intrigued him. Tengku stopped his steps at the doorway of the hallway of his house, now he saw Silva bending over while hugging various snacks with a surprised expression. Of course Tengku was surprised too, what with tonight's TV program. "Why didn't you tell Dad before?" said Tengku quite annoyed, and started to walk over. Silva patted, and again the milk box she had just picked up fell over. She quickly left, and sat down next to Tengku. She put all the food away on the table before finally settling down to
Taking sports scores as a plus for next month's written exam made Silva sigh heavily. She stood leaning against the wall of the gymnasium, today it was tennis that almost all the students in the class chose, while the other option was basketball. However, unfortunately many chose tennis just because it felt the same as playing badminton. Adi's voice echoed through the room only to call out to Silvana who had been daydreaming in place. The girl was stunned, and quickly went to her place after receiving the racket. Silva held her breath with a surprised expression when she saw Tono standing across as her opponent this time. This was like a nightmare for Silva, as Tono was not an even match for her.Tono was one of the smartest students in sports, especially basketball and volleyball. He was good at tennis, but the few times he participated in tennis competitions he never won, not even the runner-up. Even so he was the best for this sport after Zikra. "Just relax, Silva!" Tono said wit
"So... where is it?" "I don't know either, it's all full of weeds," replied an equally confused Resa. Both of them were still standing at the threshold of the tomb gate. The view in front of them was only weeds as tall as an adult's elbow, the tombstones were not clearly visible from a distance. The tombs here were not taken care of as they should be, but Resa thought they were not taken care of because no one paid someone specifically for that. As in other places, there must be a caretaker to clean all the graves, and guard the graves against thieves. There are rumors about the theft of pocong ropes, grave land, the bodies of virgins who have just died, and tombstones are often stolen because they are said to be sold at high prices, but for other stolen items, they are used as tools in order to gain power from magic. Many people want to live forever with unquantifiable wealth.Resa sighed heavily before finally looking at Silva who was still busy with her own thoughts beside Resa.
"I just fell when I did the second lap," Tere said, her eyes red with puddles that couldn't come out like a normal human. "I didn't know that guy, but he was so mean to me. I hate my stupid self, but I'll still die if I don't comply.""I didn't mean to make you sad, I'm sorry.""It's okay, I really have to tell you this so you won't be curious. I don't mind if you give this story to Silva later.""Oh, about Silva. She and I will go to the tomb, and try to clean up the place so you can feel comfortable." Resa looked both sad and happy now. "I'm not sure if this part will work or not, but it seems like the chances of getting home are slim. You have to turn positive first, and Silva said white lilies should be placed on the grave every day.""Why white lilies? I prefer sunflowers.""I don't know either, but I'll buy sunflowers for you too. I'll buy so many that the grave looks beautiful, and smells good."Tere smiled while wiping her tears that would never fall. She was happy to hear Res
The tall boy dried his wet hair with a white towel while standing in front of the mirror. From there he could see a woman in a shabby school uniform standing in the doorway. Tere's facial expression looked so sad, and Resa gave a warm smile when he turned his head as if everything would be fine with that smile. Tere felt uncomfortable, but he had to be brave to do the apology ceremony this morning. He quickly approached, and then sat on the edge of Resa's bed with a lot of guilt. She didn't know what else to do, so ashamed of Silva who she had made cry last night. "Last night was so scary," Tere finally said. The silence that the woman's spirit broke made Resa pause, and he remembered Silva. That beautiful girl who endured all her fear just to help Tere, but ended up crying for so long that her eyes were swollen. "I didn't mean to do any of that, I really didn't have any intentions. I didn't realize that I'd end up negative, and it's obvious that I'll never be able to go home easi
Resa sighed deeply when he saw his house was so quiet. Guilt was clearly visible on his face, he came home at 12pm, and didn't give any news to the people at home. There was actually a sense of fear when he entered his house, but inevitably he had to face all the problems that existed, and listen to the scolding of his mother. It was okay for her to be naughty today, for the first time to be more precise. Previously, he never came home late, was always on time after school, and helped people at home do work that could be considered quite rough. Resa moved the curtains to cover the kitchen door, he saw Regina still busy in front of the stove to fry the donuts that had just finished rising perfectly. He smiled sweetly when Regina turned around, the little girl was happy to see Resa back home. "Where have you been?" asked Regina, moving from her spot to sit beside Resa now. "I had some sudden business earlier, I'm sorry I didn't give you any news. Where's mom?" Resa looked around the
