Leave me for taking me up

Like yesterday, Bogor was raining all day. Fortunately, it was rather calm now. I gazed my reflection in the mirror. I was so excited for Abdee invited me to attend his friend’s party. It was nearly five o’clock, why didn’t he come yet? While I was waiting for him, I went on to read a teenlit novel, the fourth one I read this week.

After several pages I read, suddenly, I fell into a daydreaming. I imagine that Abdee would introduce me in front of his friends as his girl friend. Abdee and I have been being a friend since we were still in kindergarten. He lived next to my house. I played with him in most of my days. Unfortunately, we were separated in high school, but I didn’t deny that I had something special to him. I hoped, like in novels, that he felt the same way too and would tell it to me in a special way, surprising me.

‘Hey, Nadia. Nadia! Halloo…,’ he shook my shoulders. I stopped my imagination.

‘What are you thinking about, Nad?’ Abdee asked me.

‘Oh, no, nothing. Why are you late?’

‘I’m sorry. I have to do something at first. Now, are you ready?’

Then, I stood up to show him that I was ready.

‘Since an hour ago,’ I replied him.

He stared me up to down. I tied my hair in modern hair bun. I wore a long sweet yellow shirt inside a bright green and white vest. For balancing the long sweater vest, I wore the calm yellow legging with a pair of boot shoes. For sweeter them all, there were silver O earrings in my ears. With this performance, I thought he wouldn’t be shy to introduce me as his girlfriend.

Simply he laughed. ‘Why do you laugh at me?’ I wondered.

‘Nothing, I just think that you’re so beautiful today,’ he said. ‘Have I told you it’s just a barbeque dinner?’

Oh, goodness. I just realized that I was overdress. I took a bow as I was so shy.

‘Hey, it’s okay. You look so beautiful tonight,’ Abdee tried to entertain me. Then, he held my hand. ‘Let’s go now.’ I followed him.

Outside, ‘How we get there, Abdee?’ I wondered as there’s nothing in front of my house.

‘On foot, of course. It’s just several blocks from here. Come on, we will be late,’ he pulled me out.

Some minutes later, I began to be tired. It was six blocks from my house, but Abdee still walked fast.

‘Abdee…, where is it? I’m tired,’ Abdee began to leave out me.

‘Come on, Nadia. It isn’t far anymore, one block again.’

I stopped my step and took a deep breath. I looked around breaking of my tiredness. I was attracted to a bright flower. It was so beautiful since it was wet, I get closer to it.

‘Nad, Nadia! Come on. We’ve been late,’ Abdee said from the far away. In front of him, there’s a house which door was open. Someone got out and greeted Abdee.

I walked hurriedly to them. It’s a carelessness of me, suddenly, I tripped over and fell.

‘Arrgh…,’ I grumbled. The grasses were wet and miry. I woke up my self and felt so bad. I couldn’t go on my way to attend that party while Abdee had got into the house.

“Abdee….’Hopelessly, I walked home alone.
