"Oh, that's because of Widya anyway. If Wiwin doesn't have someone to take her to school, I usually pick her up, she makes good money hehe. That's where Wiwin often sees me," Reno explained.
"Oh really" I replied simply.
"Actually I also responded and liked her. I was happy when Widya said that Wiwin also liked me, but I stepped back when I found out about Wiwin's behavior"
"Indeed... Why and what did Wiwin do?" I asked curiously.
"I've seen her leave the boarding house with a boy," said Reno.
"But Ren, who knows that guy is her best friend right? Just like us"
"Nimas, I saw clearly that at that time Wiwin's neck had several red marks," said Reno.
"Red marks? It's just because of the red marks that you're angry with her? It's possible that Wiwin just caught a cold and what you see is a massage mark!"
He saw Reno smack his forehead. "Different Nimas! Wiwin's neck is not a scratch mark but a kiss mark! And I see there's not only one"
"A kiss? Haha" I said really amused.
"It's useless to tell you. It's up to you," said Reno in a resigned voice. Shortly after that Reno stopped his motorbike.
"What's wrong Ren? Why did you stop?" I asked.
"Nimas, we are already going to the route to the village. We are going to pass two graves, right? We are waiting for Widya and Dika so that we can accompany each other," said Reno taking off his helmet.
I paused to see the crossroads. The road goes straight to the sub-district, it looks bright with street lights, while the road to my village looks dark at the end like a road that has been swallowed up by darkness.
"O...Okay, let's wait for them first" I said a bit nervous.
We were silent, hiding our worries. It's been five minutes but Dika and Widya are still not visible. How fast are their motors going? Long time. I muttered to myself.
"Where is Dika? It's really slow to drive the motorbike" Reno grumbled, while I was silent staring away at the highway.
"Are you cold, Nimas? Here's my jacket," said Reno, taking off his jacket.
"It's okay Ren, I'm riding in the back so it's not too windy. You better just wear the jacket, you're the one in front, it's definitely colder"
"It's okay, my body is strong. I'm used to going out at night, I also happen to wear long sleeves, you never get wind at night. Wear this, you'll get sick later," he said, handing me a jacket.
I stared at Reno in silence. "Come on, put it on, my jacket doesn't stink. It's clean and just washed," he said, grinning.
"What is it!" I said laughing a little, I received Reno's jacket "Thank you Ren"
"You're welcome" I put on my Reno jacket, from the corner of my eye it was clear he was watching me. "Nimas, may I ask one thing?" Reno said with a serious face, but from the way he looked, he was a bit nervous.
"Ask what Ren?" I said while busy zipping the jacket, the size of this jacket is quite big if I wear it.
"Have you had a lover I mean a
boyfriend?"
Instantly my hand stopped, then turned to look at the guy beside me "Hmm? Boyfriend? Haha"
"I asked Nimas seriously! Why are you laughing anyway?" he protested.
"Yeah, your question is really funny."
"What's so funny, that's normal, right? I'm seriously asking you, do you have a boyfriend yet?" Reno said seriously.
"Not yet Ren, and I don't want to date" I replied looking at him intently. Reno was silent as well as looking at me.
"Done. See? Your jacket is too big for me to wear. Eh, why do you ask like that?" I asked, glancing at him sharply.
"Oh, um... Hehe. It's okay, I just want to know" he replied with a face that immediately avoided my gaze while scratching his head.
10 minutes had passed, Reno and I were silent with awkward behavior, not long after that we saw Widya's motorbike light coming towards us.
"Well there they are." I said.
"You guys are so tired!" protested Reno.
"Sorry, I stopped by to buy snacks earlier," said Widya feeling guilty.
While me and Reno patted each other's foreheads. "Damn you, let's go again" Reno said starting the engine of his motorcycle.
"Is this okay, Nimas?" asked Widya looking worried.
"God willing, it's okay, just bismillah" I replied smiling.
"Later, if he appears, you will kick him out!" said Widya with a pitiful face.
"No. Instead I wanted to say you want to meet him!" I said teasing Widya.
"Aaahhh Nimassss!!!" whined Widya.
We prepared mentally for this trip, I hope nothing bad will happen. And I hope the pocong sighting problem won't happen to us.
With our hearts beating fast we kept going, our motorbikes were moving at moderate speed. The road full of potholes did not allow us to ride our motorbikes at high speed. Reno and Dika turned on their flashing lights so that the road ahead could be seen clearly.
The distinctive smell of funeral flowers starts to smell, a different air begins to be felt. "Ren, turn off the flashlight. Let's use the normal lighting," I said to Reno. Without asking too much, Reno immediately switched his motorcycle lights.
"Dika, turn off the shooting light and replace it with normal lighting!" I shouted at Dika who was driving right beside us.
"Why Nimas? If you use ordinary lights, i
I can't see the road" Dika answered.
"Dika, listen to me. Turun off the motorbike lights now!" I said again.
"Don't be Nimas, leave it like this. Later, if there is a new vehicle in front, I will divert it. Now the road is dark. It's not wrong if you use a flashlight," Dika replied again.
"Yeah, it's up to you" I said. At least I warned.
I don't know why Dika's refusal to turn off the light makes me feel bad, but I hope everything is fine and we can get home safely.
