B(ur)oku Wa Koko Ni Iru

Two days after i celebrate my 18th Birthday, i went home with my girlfriend, Arani Nadhira.
We rode a bus, numbered 973 to Genjing not so far from our school.
We sat, and talked a bit of funny things about Bajaj.
I opened my bag to give her the pizzas i’ve promised.
At the same time, she opened  her bag too.
Then she gave me, one little cute gift. Made of paper. Some prints.
It was a birthday card.
I said "Thaaaaanks,dear" and continued to give her the pizzas plus two bearbrand milks.
Then, we were silent for awhile.
I put my right hand on the card, grabbed it, hold it, and then started to read it.
There were some writings, made for me, by her.

"She adores,
    the way he wears his shirts,
        the way he sends some surprises,
            when she lays her head on his shoulder,
        when she hugs for search  some peace.
    But mostly,
she loves the way he understands his girl everyday,
    and you always look GREAT in it.
        HAPPY 18th Birthday
            wish you all the best, darla :*"

                                        ARANI NADHIRA

Heart beat faster.
I flipped the card and read the back.
Written in it :
"created just for PAA, by CAAR :)"

Phew…
My mind filled with happiness, so are my tears would come out back then.
But I hold my cries.
I said "Wow, this is…really lovely, thank you so much my dear"
She replied "Tee-hee, sorry, it’s just a card.."
Words came out from my mouth "It’s okay,dear…i love this, i really like it"
She smiles, and said "Actually, i bring two cards. The same card, but with a different photos inside"

Yeah, there are also a picture in it.
Our picture.
Our lovely photo.
She edits it, adding some romantic sepia tone.
It contains me, and my girlfriend beside me.
In the photo, I stick my cheek to her.
The second photo wasn’t different in pose, but with it’s original color.
Under our photo, there’s a heart shape.
That’s our love.

We arrived at Genjing, and she’s about to leave.
She said "Thanks, paa"
I said "Don’t eat the pizzas on your way home, dear" :p
She dropped off from the bus.
Just a second later, i realized that she had forgotten her handphone.
It’s in my pocket :p
So i stopped there. Chase her.
Fortunately, she still standing near the bus stop.
I tease her and put her phone in her hands.
I was so happy that i could do that for her
She thanked me again.
Plus, she said "Bye, paaaa :)" and then she rode a mikrolet.
But the mikrolet stopped again, it waiting for another passengers.
I and she laughing and smiling at each other that time.
Then, the mikrolet went on.
I waved at her.

Then, i rode another bus to my house.
When i arrived, i went to my room.
I checked my phone, there was a New Messages notification.
I read it.
It’s from my caar.
Phew…hhe…again…she sent a sweet message for me
I replied her message, and then fall asleep not so long after that.

Woke up, she misscalled me.
But when i call back, she didn’t answer.
Hhe, that’s our loves style, man

So i wrote this blog, hoping that she will misscall me again.

Thanks to my caar
