The second day of me staying in Jakarta was started by a panic feeling. Still, when I woke up, I was so shocked. "Where am I? Why am I here? Whose place is this?" Those questions came to my mind like blocks of ice and made my head spinning. Once again, I recollected all the things happening these past days. Feeling happy and sad at the same time. Didn't know which one exactly.
He was sleeping nearby me, seemed so deeply. He must have finished his work only three hours before. I looked at him carefully, getting closer and closer until my face was only some inches away from his face. I was blushing. Feeling embarrassed. I could feel his regular breathing and his snore is like a melodious heavenly music. I prayed God and thank Him for making me meet him at last. my love... my other half... my soulmate...
Suddenly he moved and his hand hit my body. I didn't have time to move away so that he woke up. He looked at me, feeling surprised for seconds and then smiled at me.
"Good morning, dear..." he said to me gently.
"Good morning, dear..." I answered.
We smiled to each other. Silence. None of us talked. Just looked at each other. He kissed me on my cheek.
"Dear, I love you. Don't worry. I will take care of you."
Oh My God... I felt like wanting to melt that very moment. Feeling like a dream. Wanting to pinch my own cheek and feeling painful when finally did it just to realize that it was not a dream at all. It was all real.
"Yes, Appu. I trust you. I know you will."
He looked at the clock hanging on the wall. 8.00
"Hungry?" He said with a teasing voice.
"Hehe.. Yes."
He got up and went to the table where the rice cooker was. We still had a lot of Nasi Briyani from last night so I guessed we would have that for breakfast.
He carefully took the Nasi Briyani onto a plate and brought it to the bed where I was sitting. We ate it in silence and finished it quickly. He took the plate and went to the fridge to take a bottle of orange juice and gave it to me.
"Let's have lunch outside today. I wanna take you to a Padang restaurant in Setiabudi. The food is good. You'll love it. And after that we'll go to the movie." He said while washing all the eating items.
"Really? Wow... I would love to, dear... Thank you!" I felt so excited.
"Would you please stop saying "thank you"? I'm your boyfriend, dear."
"Sorry, Appu. I just meant to be polite. That's all."
"Also, stop saying "sorry" so easily, dear. Don't make distance like that. We're going to get married right?"
"And dear, I'm ready to take you now itself." he continued.
I was seriously surprised by his statement just now. Some questions ran in my head trying to understand it. He must have seen me thinking so hard. He put his hands on my shoulder and looked at me in the eyes, "Dear, you have given up everything in your life only for me. You got beaten up by your guardian, you left your job, your master studies, your friends, everything. and it's all because of me. You trust me that much. I'm ready to marry you now. We do not need to wait until your master finishes as we have planned before. I can't leave you alone. I will take you with me to Curacao as soon as possible."
"eehhmmm.... okay. I do not want anything else in my life but living with you forever." I was so touched. I could feel his sincerity, love, care and tenderness in his every word.
After that, we chatted casually, here and there, giggling each other on the bed and laughing. The air was full of love. It's like we did not care about what was happening in the world that moment. We just wanted to treasure our moments.
We left the kost house around 12 by a taxi. But before that, he still had time to take some pictures of me before going. Here is one of them.
I was wearing the shirt he bought me yesterday. I like it and still I have it now in my wardrobe :)
I got to understand that roaming in Jakarta is much more comfortable by taxi. It was cheap also. We reached the plaza in less than 15 minutes because it was very near.
"Let's have a look at the cinema to see what movies are now playing and after that we'll have lunch." He said happily.
"OK, dear. Whatever you like."
So, we walked side by side to the cinema. He didn't hold my hands. Maybe he was embarrassed. It was a public place anyway.
I was stunned by the mall. Always like that with malls in Jakarta. People there look like high ends. I felt bit guilty for dressing so modestly. Maybe that's why he didn't want to hold my hands >.<
On the way, one of women who were walking in a group called his name.
We stopped and they smiled at us.
He approached the group and I just followed him shyly behind him.
He talked his language with the woman. I think she was her colleague when he was working in Indonesia.
"Hi Agnes. Nice to meet you." The woman smiled and talked to me.
I just smiled and said hi too. Feeling a bit confused about how she knew my name.
After that we said goodbye to one another and we went to the cinema.
There were some movies playing there. I said to him not to pick action movies. I didn't want to experience the feeling like when we watched "Elysium" movie on our first date. So, finally we picked "Percy's Jackson: Sea of Monsters". Safe choice. hehehe
After booking two tickets for us, we went to the restaurant. It was a Padangnese restaurant but in a modern atmosphere. Its name is "Marco's Bofet" There we sat in the corner because I was afraid that I would make him embarrassed because of eating too much (I was so hungry at that time :P)
There we ordered some kind of rice with vegetables and sambals, fish and Kelapa Muda ice. Those were soooo good. Spoiler (Drooling :P)
Droooling XD *slurp...*
Once the food came, I immediately ate it. They were good. I was enjoying them when suddenly he laughed like anything.
"What's wrong, dear?" I stopped eating.
"No, nothing. Go on have." He said and still was laughing.
"Hey... What happened, seriously?"
"No. I was just thinking something funny. Most girls need to be given expensive clothes, bags, shoes to make them happy. But you... I need only give you food and you will eat it happily and silently. So, if the food is finished, all I need is just to order another one and you will be happy again."
He laughed.
"What???? Why are you like that to me!" I hit his arms.
"It's OK. I like it dear. Have have." Still laughing *rolling my eyes*
We finished the food and went straightly to the cinema because the movie was about to start. Thank God we came in time.
It was really a good movie. I didn't know whether it was because I was with him or it was indeed a good movie.or maybe both. But we both enjoyed it very much. I sat and put my head on his shoulder almost during the movie was played. I felt so comfortable. Everything was like perfectly match with him.
The movie finished and we both went home. We couldn't find any taxi so we decided to walk to a his kost house through a shortcut. We walked and walked. He told me that he used to roam this street with his friends. It was a small street. Sometimes when there was a car we had to move to the roadside bit too much.
I was bit tired and sweated like anything. He noticed that. Finally, he decided to take an ojeg. We both took one ojeg. Oh My God. It was so scary. The ojeg guy rode so carelessly and fast. I was sweating more than when I walked. Thank God it wasn't so far. I would end up at the hospital if longer. :(
We reached his kost house, tired yet happy. At that evening, we had mie goreng as our dinner with bread. As our new habit, he fed me while I was sitting on his lap. It was our heaven on earth.
That day, another blessed day for us.
Thank God.
