Capítulo 6: Let me be happy
"I didn't know you were this cute. You should've been here months ago, but Riki told me that you were busy doing this and that. Ah, I really dislike that kid."
I just fall silent again. This is my first time out of the house not for school reasons. In the last two years, the home has been the safest and most comfortable place.
But ... somehow it's different now. Riki's house felt so good, even though we hadn't said a word to each other since then. He was just busy with his brother, they're betting vaguely.
I was only with Riki's mom and sister. The three of us sat down together, talking for quite a long time. I never thought I'd be able to hang out this long.
"Me too, Ma! Riki is indeed an incompetent boy. Having a beautiful friend like this, yet he didn't tell us. Dang, what an astonished." Refi said with red blush.
Probably because the weather was hot enough to make her turn red like that. But it doesn't really matter if she's cute. Not just her, but Riki's mama is much cuter.
"We weren't close last month, um ... well, let's say we just known each other since two days ago?"
Choke! Choke!
When I saw the two coughed I winced.
Refi smiled slightly. "Crazy, he is so fast, Ma!" She said and then the two women laughed.
"Brother, you might not be so close right now. And I don't want to pretend to be nice to you, but let it go this time. The point is even though his face is kinda disgusting, acting all nice and like a butterfly man but my brother is a good listener."
"Maybe if you need support, advice, or a hug if you don't cross the line, just go to him. Riki is a good boy, he's mature but occasionally a bit spoilt, isn't he, Ma?"
Riki's mama nodded. "He comes, don't you lose the light. And I'm sorry, Riki is the kind of person that's accessible, so we know a little about you. Have fun mama's boy!"
I'm confused, actually. But I can only smile. Moreover, besides a smile, what else I could put on?
"Let's go home, Ta? It's about three o 'clock, Ms. Minah would search you around," Riki said, patting my shoulder.
My reflexes were brushed him. Out of nowhere, I got scared. Looking at Riki's mama and sister, I thought they'd be angry but they wrote a thin smile instead.
"Riki, you can play well, can't you?" Riki's mama told her second son.
I am a little guilty, but I don't know what to do. Since I was a kid, it's been hard for me to adapt to other people.
"Sorry, Ta. Home, right?" he repeated.
Nodded in reply. I quickly stood and bowed, wondering what to say.
"Mom, I have to go!" Riki said goodbye.
"Be careful, bro. Don't scratch my future sister-in-law, or else if brother Dimas steps forward you'll lose wahahaha!" said Refi with a laugh teasing her brother.
I siled slightly saw that.
"Satan!" Riki replied while asking me together along quickly.
We went outside and walked toward the garage.
"What are you doing, bro?" I asked.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, running around this time of day is uncomfortable, Ta. Would it be all right if I gave you a ride on the motorbike? Or would you like a car so that you'll feel comfy?"
Shook my head twice. No, I'm giving him enough trouble today. It's a bit uncomfortable but riding a bike seems like a lot faster getting home, doesn't it?
"No, just take the bike, bro," I said.
He smiled. "It's cute when you the one who calls me brother, not like that devil."
A devil?
I laughed in response. He meant Refi, right? Haha, what a thing. If a sweet girl like Refi is a devil, what power do I have when even never put on talcum powder?
In Riki's eyes, I must be a lot worse, right?
"Let's go!" Asked him who was already on the bike.
When I was about to sit on that matic bike, he gave me a helmet. I looked at him with a bow smile.
"You won't use, right?" he said with a soft neigh.
"No," I reeked of guilt.
Eum or is this the only feeling I can describe? I guess I can't really express other feelings?
"Here," he begged.
I blinked.
"Let me put this on you, Ta. Oh my goodness your blank face is so cute," his mock made me wiggle my cheeks.
He laughed loudly.
"Am I ugly?" I asked.
It only took me a few seconds to realize that my speech had changed.
"No way, even the devil is lost from you. Here, let me put this," he said.
This time he took my hand and put on the helmet. Inside I feel strange again. My cheeks are boiling beyond my control. Sweat bathed my hands when he began to put on the helmets even linking it's whatever name.
"Thanks," I said after he finished his job.
Riki's smile felt cute smile this time. Once I sat on his back, he quickly activated the matic motor. The air was cool at this hour. But riding a bike with him, sure felt different. It was thrilling, I didn't think he could even insist so sweetly.
Our house is quite within a far distance. Surprisingly, riding a bike and talking to him during the trip seemed our house is very close.
And we've arrived at the gate. Just like when he put it on. So this time too he helped me put off the helmet. I haven't had a chance to tell him to stop by yet, but he had said something first.
"I'm going to play with a friend. Go first, Ta!" Riki said as he wiped my head.
The feel just got weirder. My breath hunted as if something was begging it to stop for a moment.
Even when Riki was gone and out of my sight, I was still looking for him.
"Girl, please take a breath!" teased Ms. Minah who since god knows when appear right next to me while opening the gate.
Realized if I didn't breathe yet, quickly I did it. But when I look at Ms., I'm embarrassed to die.
"What the hell!" I said and turned around left my aunt laughing.
Go in the bedroom, I lock the door shut. I put my hand on the front of my chest, a heartbeat much faster than before. As the eyes closed, the shadow of Riki mixing in Saka's face made me sit on the cold floor.
No, please don't fall for anyone. Any flower that dances because of the wind will fall slowly.
I'm a flower, she's the wind that blows. Falling at this speed, it will hurt faster. To love, you have to be hurt. Well received, ready for disposal as well.
A lot of bad consequences. So please heart, don't fall for him.
"Ta?"
The voice ...
"Are you very happy? Hahaha, your would-be mother-in-law is so nice!"
Wa-wait? It's not Wednesday? How can I hear it? Why is there Saka's sound?
I held my head and shook my head a few times. No, it can't be, can it?
It's Riki, please somebody tell me. This isn't Saka's voice, is it? He doesn't show up if it's not on Wednesdays. So it's impossible that he--
"Ah, Ta ... my heart is broken because you forgot me only because of a new guy. Do I have to appear often after this so you can remember me again?"
I cried to hear that. No, how can this be? I screamed and threw a vas. It's a lie, isn't it?
'Saka, please, don't be like this ...."
'I also ... want to be happy ....'
