Weekend
"Where are you going?"
Sherlina asked me when I was tidy with clothes and makeup which although not very cool. It's a day off, eight o'clock, I'm just leaving because of an appointment a few days ago with Lidia.
This is a great option for a weekend getaway, other than going to a club or bar. Oh yeah, I've also been out of 'snacks' for more than a month, aka renting a girl to sleep with me. Not because I don't have money, but because I'm just lazy, for some reason that can also be the cause.
But, there's a good thing, too. Yes, however, my habit is not a good thing.
"I have an appointment with a friend. When I get home I will buy food for you,"
The girl's face immediately brightened at the end of my sentence. As usual, she always likes to bring gifts, let alone food. Martabak, meatballs, chicken noodles, no problem for her.
"Okay, really, a packet of chicken noodles, but a lot and spicy!"
"Yeah. Then I'll bring two servings at the same time with avocado ice,"
Even though she hasn't showered herself. Usually if Sherlina usually takes a bath at dawn, but on a day off, she takes a bath later in the day. It's also surprising, even though he hasn't worked because neither he nor I have got any job vacancies.
None of my friends and acquaintances have any job vacancies.
I feel a bit sorry because maybe Sherlina is bored and she told me several times that she wants to have her own income even though she is staying at my house. I know she must be feeling bad. The self-conscious type would certainly be. Unlike the impudent person, if you ride a ride, you will be careless. It's like in story books and movies that I've read and seen.
.
Lidia and I met at one of the restaurants at thirteen minutes past eight, for breakfast.
Because I accidentally didn't have breakfast at home. While Sherlina must be cooking herself.
When I arrived at my destination, Lidia was already sitting waiting at one of the tables she had reserved for us. She smiled at me when I arrived. Her appearance really took me by surprise. As usual, she looks beautiful and sexy, even though her clothes are not too revealing. Only wearing a dress that is above the knee in a bright light purple color which makes her look charming especially when she smiles seeing my arrival from afar.
It made her even more charming. Ah, it reminds me of Erwin. He now has a new girlfriend. Me when?
But, it's useless if I hope. Meanwhile, I myself almost no longer believe in the sincerity of women's hearts. Wishing on a beautiful, bovine woman in front of me? That's also not possible. We just met. Even though they've slept together, it's impossible to have feelings. That's enough. Forget the silly dreams about the girl, it's time to return to the real world, which is not as beautiful as fairy tales in any country.
"Our table is here. Why are you even sitting there?"
Lidia said while holding back a smile. I looked around me. And soon embarrassed myself when I realized I was sitting at someone else's table opposite the table Lidia ordered. The person next to me just smiled even though at first gawked at my behavior suddenly sitting at his desk. I immediately apologized and changed seats. Damn, it's a shame if that's the case.
"What do you want? I'll treat, okay?" The girl in front of me smiled. er voice is soft and melodious like classical music.
Eh, that's too bad. I nodded and said thank you, then ordered the same menu for breakfast as Lidia.
"Even though it should be a guy who treats right?" I said. As an initial small talk before having a long chat and possibly spending time together today.
The girl smiled gently. "It's okay. Forget about the culture, cooking treats must look at gender,"
"Yeah, too,"
Of course I'm not too bothered about the treats either. After all, we are not a couple. If Lidia was my boyfriend, I'd be the one to treat more.
A few minutes after talking a bit, our order menu came. Hey, it's not that I'm greedy or disrespectful, but this time I happened to be very hungry and the menu also happened to be very appetizing-well, maybe it's also because of the influence of hunger-so I immediately grabbed a spoon when the food menu was delivered and immediately ate it. The girl in front of me just held back a smile at my behavior. Stupid ah, not this crush anyway.
After breakfast, we went to another place according to the plan to refresh today. Lidia took me to the shore of a green watery lake, a popular tourist location.
Despite being popular, it was a stroke of luck for me to visit today. The place is not as busy as usual. So, I can enjoy my time there without much noise.
"Come here, Nathan,"
Lidia pulled my hand to the edge of the lake so that our distance was very close to the surface of the water that looked green.
"Clay. The water is nice." Said the girl beside me.
She crouched down and grabbed the green water with his right palm. It turns out that the water is clear when in hand, not as green as it appears on the surface of the lake.
"Why did the color change huh?" I asked.
"There's some kind of algae under the water. So the water is green." answered Lydia.
I don't know. When I was studying Biology, I didn't really pay much attention.
"I see. It doesn't look like it does, does it."
Lidia then smiled and dropped the water in her palm.
"That means, don't be fooled by what it looks like on the outside."
I looked up at her. "Hah?"
But then he pulled my hand to a wooden chair under a big tree near the entrance of the protected forest.
A beautiful forest that seems to have been deliberately cared for, is different from a forest that has minimal human intervention.
"This is the place I like the most." The girl pointed towards the entrance of the forest.
"Hah?"
Lydia smiled. "Nice place in my opinion."
"Aren't you afraid?" In my opinion, no matter how beautiful the forest, I still feel unsafe there. Despite being cared for, the forest is still a wild nature that we don't know is there. For example, there is a large Anaconda snake like in the movie story, it's obviously terrible. The girl next to me shook her head. She then invited me to sit on a wooden chair by the lake.
"Have you ever gone to the forest with a special person or not, Nathan?"
I frowned for a moment, hearing her question. "Never been to the forest with anyone, Especially alone."
I'm not used to going out into the wild and mostly staying in metropolitan areas. It's nothing, no one has ever taken me there, or because I don't really think about going to nature, so a trip to the closest and usual places I usually go is enough.
"Did you ever go there with someone? Uh, maybe a boyfriend?"
Lidia shook her head. "At least with friends. Maybe we can go there sometime."
I looked back at her. Our eyes met. This is the first time I've seen close to Lidia's eyes, which are always reddish in color. She wears lenses every time he goes everywhere it seems. Uh no, not even at her house. I remember always visiting her when after the crash, Lidia's eyes were still red at that time.
Captivating.
"So are we?"
She said. Uh, what? Then Lidia winked one eye at me.
But suddenly there was a noise at the end behind us. Lidia and I turned our heads. Seen people running towards it, right at a small post.
A few people then screamed and walked away from the small post in horror and one of them said, "Call security!"
The curious me walked over and asked someone. "What's wrong bro?"
The man turned. "There's a dead man, Sir ... t's like being killed! There are so many wounds on his body!"
I was silent for a moment. Again, again ...
"Please everyone disperse! Tourists and civilians don't get too close!"
Two uniformed officers arrived. They were apparently a security guard and a policeman, assisted by several other people who were definitely not ordinary civilians. The tourist spot was temporarily closed, and I turned around to ask Lidia out of there. But at that time, where did Lidia go? She wasn't in the wooden chair where we had been sitting.
I'm confused. Where did She go?
Where people are being rowdy and the place will be closed. After all, how can there be a murder in a tourist spot that must be guarded by the officers?
Base. It must be the devil again. They haven't finished..
