Suasana Gelapnya Kota Di Malam Hari

i grabbed my bag and my sweater as soon as Ethan told me that he’s going to pick me up. damn it, why am i felt nervous right now. kita bahkan belum kenal, jauh dari kata kenal.

aku berdiri di depan cermin; do i look good? ugh, why do i care anyway. i rolled my eyes and walked down the stairs. “mah, aku izin keluar ya sama ethan.”

“ethan?” tanya nya heran. ‘oh shit, keceplosan.’

i just remembered, she doesn’t even know who is Ethan.

“oh, um-” sebelum aku menyelesaikan perkataan ku, bel rumah berbunyi nyaring ; it must’ve been Ethan.

just then, my mom opened the door by herself. terlihat laki laki tinggi, menggunakan hoodie hitam dan sneakers putih.

“malem tante, ini mama nya Nara ya?” tanya nya canggung dan menggaruk tengkuknya pelan. “oh iya, ini pasti Ethan? sebentar Nara masih di tangga itu.” dia mengangguk.

“eh hai Ethan, yuk.” ajak ku, berusaha mengakhiri percakapan. “saya izin ajak Nara nya jalan ya tan.” He bowed and grabbed my hand.

“tante nitip Nara ya than.”

he smiled and waved his hands. “wah udah akrab aja nih.” goda ku, secara kita aja gapernah ngobrol. kok bisa dia deket gitu sama my own mother.

“nggak ah, biasa aja.” then, he opened his car’s door for me. “ow, thanks.”
