The Noodle In Love
29. Stay

After dinner, Keke's family said goodbye to go home because the night was late. Even the large restaurant controlled by the two children of Yanti has closed dozens of minutes ago according to the operational schedule of the restaurant.

"Ke, don't kiss me again, your future husband will be ilfill" I whispered to Keke as we hugged each other farewell. I was the last person Keke approached to say goodbye.

"Not much" Keke said, not caring. Again, he kissed my cheek a few times quickly and strongly. Her nose was piercing in my cheek. It's ticklish.

Relieved, we had drifted away from each other and were no longer embracing. When I saw Rushqi's eyes, the man stood behind Keke's side. I think I misbehaved because of his view.

"See you, Ling. We met at the dormitory when we had an audit. I don't know when the audit will be. The rumor was that it was just a hoax. The fear is sudden and we are no longer standby there," Keke said before following his parents to a parked car.

"Let's find the information, too, Ke..!" I cried out to accompany Keke's departure from me.

Three families who had been shipwrecked in a car had slid off the parking lot and fence. Lost on the highway at night. Towards the destination house as a destination to go home.

"Linga," reprimanded the voice of the woman who was none other than the hajj.

"Yes, ma'am," I said as I moved closer.

"It's night, you stay here. I'll be home tomorrow, yeah. Think of it here also as your boarding house. It's the same, Ling?" tanya haji ma'am Fatimah suggested.

I look at Rushqi, as the man who brought me here. Feel more comfortable just talking about this to him, even with a way of looking at each other and silence.

He I looked at seemed to be silent for a moment, then nodded his head. Signs that Rush agrees with his mother. But, I still want to go back to my rent room on Yellow Face.

"You can sleep anywhere you like, Ling. In those tiny houses, or join here, in this house?" hajji ma'am Fatimah gave me a choice. I looked at him confused. Think about how to go home.

"Sorry, mom. There's not an eleven, it's far away. I want to go back to Yellow Face. Taxis will always be there even at night," said Ju carefully, so that they understand what I want. Fatimah looked surprised.

"Eee,, no, no. It's already night. Rushqi's the only boy I've always forbidden if I want to go home at this hour, Ling. Prone, danger, this is Batam, Ling. You haven't said what you think. Give your opinion on Keke," the hajj maam said earnestly looking at me.

"Tomorrow for a glance at Lingga, ma. It's night." It's night."

Rushqi admonished the mother not to urge me. I also feel lazy if forced to give an opinion to the hajj maam about Keke. Especially to recommend Keke's kindness for Rushqi. Ah, it's so confused.

"Alright, Ling. You can't go back to Yellow Face. Stay here tonight. Come on, mama take you to your house." Hajj ma'am while stalling to hold my arm.

"Ma, just go inside your house. Let me take the phallus to his house."

Rushqi stepped closer to me. Haji ma'am entered his small house after greeting us.

"Come, Ling," Rushqi took a step away.

I followed the gallant man who walked slowly cleaving the green grass casually. The usual long foot stepped that, perhaps shortened its swinging distance.

"Mas, actually this hour is common in Batam. I want to go back to Yellow Face" I told Rush in front of me.

"Already, Ling. Don't make your hostess a lot of thoughts. The thoughts of people your age with thoughts my mother's age are much different."

Strong tone and do not want any objection. I also went back to silence. Trying to get along with my mother's wishes.

Although I do not understand, I obey he said. I passed Rush and walked over to the very small house in front of me. The finely carved wooden house with a shiny and slippery texture was hanging a key on its door.

The house measuring three by four meters was very comfortable to enter. It feels cool but warm. There is a bathroom and a mini kitchen. Ice cupboards even store cooking ingredients and fruit that I like. In my room, there is no kitchen and refrigerator. I think I immediately changed into liking this.

Rushqi was on the phone and ended moments after seeing me out. His phone was put in a shirt pocket and walked up to me on the porch.

"Hows it? You don't mind staying here?" ask Rush to look at my face.

"Actually I still want to go home. But since you said I'd make the hostess restless, so I guess it's better to stay." I saw the shadow of a smile on Rushqi's face after I said this.

"Good, Ling. If you stay over, I'd like to take you somewhere in Nagoya tomorrow morning. Before we go back to the Yellow Face in the afternoon" Rush told me.

"What, we're back in the afternoon?" many wonder. "Why not early in the morning?" connect many.

"I want to meet Keke land tomorrow. But, your best friend asked that I take you away together. Come along," Rush said without a burden. Like no objection at all to Keke's request to invite me.

"You don't mind? I'm not bothering you?" ask me with taste and tone. It feels heavy my heart is holding. But I don't want to reject it either. Ah, I don't know how I am..

"Why bother? I didn't take Keke to the hotel, Ling." Rushqi said with a mocking expression. I can't believe I have a sableng mind as well as this straight man.

"Where are you actually going?" aska I want to know. Rushqi was smiling.

"Look at it tomorrow" he said with a face to the sky.

This night may be cloudy which makes a black expanse above without a single star. The cold breeze blew more and more coldly into our bodies.

This garden with neat green grass is very spacious without many plants. Making the air that keeps moving in the park more cold I feel.

"Come in, Ling" said Rushqi, who appeared to be preparing for his departure.

"Where is your house?" I suddenly wanted to know.

"That, Ling. In the corner," point Rush at the exact same wooden building I'm about to occupy, actually in the corner of the park.

The house or also a well-facilitated room that spread in the park, all the same shape and decoration. Only the building occupied by the hajj and pak hajj is visible as a house, although small and simple.

"I'm coming in" I said as I was about to turn my body forward

"Sleep tight!"

I still hear Rush's call behind me. I no longer see and try to ignore it. I don't know what exactly Rush wants from me.

His attitude has changed considerably since proposing to me that morning. Did Rush deliberately make my heart change in order to regret my rejection. Did Rush really feel unacceptable and want to hurt me in his own way? But, there's no way Rush would do that to me.
