Like in A Drama

Vagio has been sick for around 3 days.

and Cara was always there to take care of him.

well, take care is not the right wrong actually, because what Cara really did is just hugging him, massage him, or just............be there.

however, it is the main reason why now the one who get sick is Cara, and Vagio is healthy as a hulk

his girlfriend now sitting behind him on the motor cycle. grumbling with the fcking freezing weather and unstoppable rain.

plus her unstoppable sneezing. she has been moaning a whole day that she is really dizzy.

it makes him worry.

the journey from campus to their is quite far, she can catch a fever if she keeps shivering like that.

the weather is freezing. she begins to shake harder.

besides, she's only wearing a thin jacket.

suddenly, the motor stop and Vagio's getting off from it.

she's smiling.

because he's taking her hands and rub it with his.

"you're so cold"

she nodded. if she talk, he would know that she has a terrible shiver.

"you should wear my jacket" he immediately take off his jacket and give it to her.

she's trying to resist, but it also makes her happy because that is like the very first time she experience that drama-thingie.

he put the jacket to her and hook it so she's completely covered.

it's just a small act compared to hugging or massaging.

but it's enough for her.................to feel like one of the cast of a romance drama just for 30 seconds.

I'm Hopeless Without You

Cara always love the time when she is able to work with Vagio. She don't know why, but it's always fun. Especially today when she's working in her faculty theater show. She know that Vagio will become the photographer for the show. And then when her friend ask her to become an usher for the show, she accepted it so she can be with him.
Now, there she is, in the backstage. Become a make-up artist. Trying to be useful for the actors or the other crews.
And there he is, wearing Batik shirt that she gave him yesterday and walking to here and there clicking his Canon
beep beep
Cara's blackberry is beeping. A message from him.
"do you have some foods darl? I'm hungry like hell"
Cara's smiling when she read that. because actually he's only 5 meters away from her, and he texted her. Really, Vagio?
"I don't have any. Why don't you just ask the crew?"
Sent.
But it only takes 5 seconds before he reply again.
"are you kidding me? they all look scary"
Clearly, that's the way Vagio ask his girlfriend to take him a meal.
Cara gets up then take a box of meal, containing fried chicken and rice. then she's walking toward him, handing him the box. "here it is" she said.
Vagio looks awkward and said, "take it and wait for me outside. I can't eat here"
"well, why not?" asked Cara, confuse.
Vagio answers her with a you-know-why-look. the look that only Cara's understand. he's not comfortable here.


Cara is waiting outside alone. it's raining today, but the weather is still lovely.
2 minutes later Vagio comes and immediately sits beside her and asking for his meal.
"you know all people here?" ask Vagio. "you seem know a lot of people"
"I do. 60% of them are from my major by the way" explained Cara.
"I know no one except you here, Cara. thank God you're here. I'm hopeless without you." he immediately starts eating after saying that. without knowing that means a lot to her.
"I know. that's why I'm coming."
and she just sits there, smiling, and watching her boyfriend eating like a horse.

Do you love me?

the weather is freezing.
both Cara and Vagio walk side by side heading to the train station.
it's really rare that they can go home together like this. Vagio doesn't want to join the basketball session, he said.
well, maybe he just miss his Cara.
the clock is pointing at 5pm. the rain just stopped. no wonder the weather is freezing and the road is kinda slippery.
at the time like this, having a girlfriend like Cara, who don't have a good stability at walking, is a must to holding her hand all the time if Vagio don't want her to kiss the wet ground.
both of their face are glowing when they see the ice cream stand in front of them
"I want it," Vagio said then fasting her walk. don't care about Cara and leaving her.
Cara, who already used to it, just walk slowly, if she don't want to fall.
"can you give me 2 thousand, hon?" this is of course Vagio who said this.
"the hell.....buy it by your own money" Cara put the most annoying look on her face to piss him off, then give money to the seller man. "strawberry for me, please" then immediately change her face into angelic face.
"you......for God's sake" it did piss him off.
just like two little kids. both of them get quiet when they have their own ice cream.
it's Vagio's fault that he finish his ice cream first. Cara still have a lot.
"I want them" Said Vagio while trying to get Cara's ice cream. "mine is gone already, hon. pleaseeee"
"no" well said by Cara.
it just keep Vagio in silent and looking at Cara sadly, "do you love me?" he asked.
"I do" Cara answered.
"then give it to me," well done by Vagio.
"do you love me?" Cara asked.
Vagio is some kind of know where this conversation will lead to.
"......well, of course I do" he answered.
"then let me finish this by myself" Cara said with full of pride in her face.
"sh*t, wrong move"
he still holds her hand anyway.

You Look Great

almost everyone I met today realize that I cut my bang, wonder if he will too.
and here he is in front of me with his friend. they bring something like a flag of their department, oh whatever idk the name.
"do you cut your bang?" he stops. and his friend just go away without him.
"yes!" I guess my answer is too excited. too happy he realizes. "how is it?" I said.
"you look great," OMG! "you should make it longer so it will cover all your face, it will be greater, dear"............................ok he's making fun of me. he's laughing so hard after he looked my sullen face.
"oh stop you!" I said. he's always like that, don't worry.

*****

do you ask me if I'm angry to him? of course no. I'm used to it btw. it's his usual joke to me. he never actually said I'm beautiful or cute or anything. we're that couple who usually speaking bad thing about ourselves to each other.
lying in my bed. get ready to hit the dreamland when my phone ring, a text from him.
"I just arrived at home"
I smile. well, whatever text from him always make me smile.
"ok, I'm about to hit the bed. take a rest dear!"
I replied. kinda sad btw. these days we haven't had quality chat because our busy schedule.
"I will. I like your new bang. you look beautiful, good night love"
.

I will definitely have a beautiful dream tonight.

She Couldn't Ask More

she realizes the sky slowly become red. the wind blows quite strong. people gradually get up from the bench where she sits.
the basket match she had just watched was really interesting. she thinks it was the first time she cheers out loud for her own program study, English Literature. she's amazed by herself, how can she spoke so sarcastic to the opponent's supporters. she utters sorry in silent.
however, she knows that the reason why she sits there for a really long time just because she's waiting for someone. not that she already made a promise to meet there by that particular person. she just came there by the thought maybe she can meet him.
she hears the sound of his motorcycle. oh, he's coming, she said, I must put my cool face, don't put that fucking excited face, younglady!
wearing his casual clothes. white ties, blue jeans, and hotel sandals. without asking, she know that he just come from his apartment. errgghh, she don't like him wearing that white ties. it's so dirty, she thinks.
her friends come, they have a talk about the match that has just finished. today's match was quite smooth than the other days had passed.
although her mouth's uttering words regarding the matches today. her eyes is fixed on him in basket field. she can see that he and his friends are trying to fix the basket ring.
it's getting dark already. the air feels so chilly. her friends already suggest her to go inside the building. yeah, she knows she can stay there forever. watching him on and on.
her friends stand up and begin to walk to the building behind them. she also stand up, but her thought and heart is rushing fast. should she call him and go to him? of course she can! why not?
"tito!" she yells. she's walking closer to the field, standing in front of the ring fence, place her right hand on it, and waiting for him to come to her. "lu ga jadi pulang ke bogor hari ini?" she asks when he already right in front of her. only separated by the ring fence.
"gatau, gua masih bingung" he answers. confuse face is in his. sad face in hers.
"pulang aja atuh" she can hide her sadness in front of him, and trying to convince to come home. "kapan ngapelnya dong?"
"besok malem deh besok malem ya," promised him. she sighs, disappointed is painted all over her face.
"yauda gua pulang aja deh, nanti gua telpon" she put her hand down from the ring fence, step back from the field, still waiting for him to say anything. anything.
"iya pulangnya hati-hati ya!" he said with his smiley face. she's also smiling, turn around, and walk away from the field.
"ca!" he's calling her once again. she turn around to hear what he'll say. "hati-hati ya!" still with smile in his face. she replies it with smile and wave for him. the she turn around again and begin to walk.
her sad face starting to rise. sad because today she must go home by herself. again.
"yang!" she hears it clearly and automatically stop. feels like ice water dew all over her body.
she turns around again. with only a little light from the field, but she actually can see his sad face. "hati-hati yang"
she open her mouth, not just for smiling this time, but to answer him. "iya" she answers. only one word. she knows if it longer than that, her voice will be cracked.
she turn around again and walk. and thinks, it's more than enough, I couldn't ask more.
