"Okay then. Let's eat first, shall we, baby? Down there is a bamboo shop. They have a mainstay menu of spicy rica-rica (hot spicy chicken) stuck. It's great. I haven't eaten there in a long time," said Al.
"Wait, I'm amused by all the calls. Never do that. It's okay, call me Embun like usual," said the girl, shuddering. Embun is really disgusted by friendly calls like baby, honey, lovely, and others.
"Ha ha ha. You're really different from other girls, Mbun. Other girls are even angry if they are not called by a special name. Favorite name," said Al while laughing.
"That's precisely why you like me. If I'm like other girls, you'll definitely use it for a day or two and then throw it away like always." Embun sneered at Al.
"Sigh, that's in the past-"
"Yes, your problem, not my problem," said Embun, laughing.
"Instead of discussing the past, let's talk about our future. Is not it?"
"The future. How serious is that, right now? Usually, installments are not clear." Embun sneered at the young man.
Embun was actually happy with Al's change in attitude. This guy suddenly grew up fast just because of being with her. Hopefully he can turn into a better man. The change shows that Al is serious about having a relationship with her. One thing she had never seen in an Alaskan before, seriousness.
"Because I'm really serious with you, Mbun. I'm being lazy, yes. I'm disgusted by myself." Alaska laughed while scratching his head, which didn't really itch. "I'm serious and want to keep our relationship, Mbun. Thankfully, we could get married and even grandparents."
"Nothing. That's a sign that you've grown up, Al. I'm happy, really," said Embun, smiling.
Suddenly, Al's face turned bright red, mixed with joy, shame, and enthusiasm.
"Ugh, why is your face red? It's like a virgin child being proposed to." Embun laughed loudly. Two years of knowing this young man, have never seen him salting, let alone blushing like now.
Al is a typical clumsy young man who is always free to do whatever he wants, regardless of other people's feelings. Embarrassed, blushed, were probably the two words that had been lost in the vocabulary in his brain.
"Shut up. Now, so you keep on teasing me. I'm normal too. Why the reverse, huh?" Alaska covered her face, trying to get his feelings back to neutral. His face felt hot.
"That's the risk of people falling in love, Al. Ha ha ha. Eh, once more, don't ever ask me to be weird, okay? We can only have a sex later after marriage. No sex before marriage. Promise?" Embun held out her little finger.
"Foreplay, how's it going?" Al tries to make an offer. It's like people buying vegetables using everything.
"No," answered Embun briefly and pulled back her pinky.
"Huge and kiss, please," said Al, unyieldingly, cupping his hands in front of his chest. He deliberately blinked indulgently and pursed his lips in an O shape.
"Hug, okay. Kiss ... can only be on the cheek and on the forehead. It can't be in other parts," answered Embun firmly.
"Well, my fate. Really sad. How poor I am." Al pretended to sob.
Embun laughed at the behavior of her new boyfriend.
"Uh, there's more. No groping, no holding other than hands," added Embun.
"Geez, my head could explode," Alaska grumbled again.
"Which head exploded, Al?" Embun burst out laughing.
Alaska looks sullen. His bad habit suddenly had to be trimmed down. It's like people going to the barbershop. This is immediately bald, shaved off.
What is the risk of people falling in love like this? Shit, Al grumbled in his heart.
"Deal, no? It's better for you to deal, than not getting anything at all, you know," said Embun and thrust out her little finger again.
"Hah! Alright. Deal," said Al languidly while intertwining his little finger.
"Ha ha ha." Embun laughed triumphantly.
Finally, she could also conquer the perverted soul of an Alaska. This girl wants to help Alaska become a more mature and mature man. This young man's naughty and childish nature must be reduced.
"You look handsome. Very much like an artist, Al," said Embun, trying to comfort Alaska, who was crying.
"Horror artist!" The young man replied curtly.
Today, he is happy because he can finally get Embun as a lover. There was a feeling he couldn't describe in words. A feeling that Al had never felt when dating and hanging out with other girls before. However, Embun that seemed unable to be touched in the slightest, naturally made his soul also rebel. It's like not having a girlfriend physically, only a heart.
"Huh? Why are you so upset? You become like a virgin child who was left to marry his girlfriend," Embun teased.
"Finally, I have a girlfriend, but I can't hold it," Al grumbled.
"Let's fix your short-circuited mind first, Al. What is normal is that you can hold it and others after marriage. If not, you can't. So, it's not me who is at fault in this situation, but you." Embun tried to explain.
"So, please. Change. Try to be more mature in responding," continued Embun.
"Precisely because I'm an adult. That's why I can do adult scenes. Not like you, still a child. So, don't you dare, right? Just dare to hold hands. It's like kindergartners who are dating. Holding hands, swinging, playing slides, running. Huh," Al said.
"Good grief. This is your brain. Yes, if it is disassembled, it's just obscene. Learn to be happy with your boyfriend without being perverted. If all you need is a pervert, it's better to just be with another girl, okay? It's not too late if we want to cancel our agreement," Embun threatened.
"Sh, this is the story of me being cranky. You must be the one persuading me, please. Even shaking. The new era has been threatened with breaking up. Not cool." The young man growled.
"Oh, so you want to be persuaded like that? Just like a little child. He said he was an adult. Adults don't need to be seduced. We can have a pleasant talk, discuss. Well, let's stop by the supermarket first, after this," said Embun.
"What do you buy?" Al was surprised. How did she get angry when she talked about supermarkets?
"Want to buy Yupi candy with Kinder Joy? To persuade and seduce you so you don't cry anymore. Ha ha ha." Embun burst out laughing when she saw Al had hit the trap.
"You sour. I guess I'm a toddler!" Alaska finally joined in the laughter.
This girl is different, Al thought.
"Yes, Mrs. Hajjah Embun Swastika, who is holy without stains, mature without sex, I obey. I don't understand how mature you are in your thinking. But I obeyed, rather than I lost you," Al said sincerely.
"Adult is all about thinking and behaving. Not you guys. We can see our maturity from how we deal with problems. Be manly without having to rely on your masculine tools, but be manly in attitude and responsibility."
"Wow, Mrs. Hajjah lectures," joked Al.
"Ish, I was told it wasn't even serious. Too bad, eh?" Embun pretended to be sulking.
"Yes, heard, really. Was it about virility? I'm already an expert at using my adulthood. Just calm down. Guaranteed, you are satisfied, until you faint," Alaska teased.
"Sh. God, how come there are people like this that you created? It's perverted, sorry, bye," shouted Embun.
"But by the way, do you know the difference between an adult and an immature person when they sleep?" Alaska looked at the girl beside him.
"Adults sleep with their partners, who are not adults alone," replied Embun.
"Wrong. For those who are immature, sleep is muted. When you're an adult, you'll sleep less and less." Alaska laughed happily.
"Eaaa...."
"Well, that's the difference between sleeping and being put to sleep. If you sleep, break. If you put it to sleep, you are literate. You perverted lizard." Embun laughed too.
"Eh, it's just a perverted lizard. Ordinary crocodile perverted," said Al.
"Yes, because I'm sure you will change for the better," answered Embun softly.
Al blushed again because of the girl's words.
Apparently, this is what it feels like to fall in love. Fun, Al chuckled inwardly and smiled to himself.
