How Sweet It is First

God. I do not know how I start first. But this is the first I am being close to Rumintang. Maybe it is something that yeah embarassing and if possible I won’t to remember. But in the back of this story, there is a sweet memory. Is that sweet like honey ? hahaha may it is too extreme, but you can say something like that.

Don’t ask how it was begun, exactly Rumintang and I were not close. Although we were at same class it did not mean that we were close like everyone in common. Yah it was condition before how we are at this time.

That time, I did not care about Rumintang, even I did not realize that Rumintang was also in my class. After I knew, I also needed more time to remember her name. She could be really said a silent girl in class, I thought. Because less of spoken in class made me did not realize her presence.

It was begun when we got the same group in one of university subjects. If  I am not wrong, we were still in second semester. I felt doubt, confused, who was Rumintang ? she was in my class ? you know which the stupid one ? I asked to someone “who is Rumintang?” and someone who I asked was Rumintang. Her expression looked like she unliked with me, not I had negative thinking to her, but it was the fact.

We did our task in her boarding house,  honestly I felt awkward, because the moment that happened previous beetwen us. When we were on discussion, I thought Rumintang and me just talked  that was able to be counted  using our fingers.

I thought, what was I  had planted “ I don’t care” to my group friend or  she was really quiet person and or she did not like me.

I did not want to think about that, my thinking was how this task was finished as fast as possible and would be presented. After that, we would be back like there was no convertation beetween us.

I am a person who loves foods. That time, I asked one of the members in our group to accompany me to small shop to buy some snacks. I hoped to everyone except Rumintang. But what I got ? Rumintang said would do it for me and it made me shocked in the same time. I tried to thanks about that but in my heart.... uhhh.....

The small shop which we wanted to visit was not close with our location. If I could be honest, we were not talking even one word. She was like have her own world, I comment.

Just the sounds of motorcycle or cars which passed, and would disappear after its distance from our exitence.

Until such time...”aaaaaaa” really, I was shocked. Not beacuse of the motorcycle, but a voice making me shocked. I saw Rumintang and then gawk like a fool. Rumintang said “shit words” while the motorchycle had been away. She was like telling a fairy tale which makes people fear death and horror. Oh god. How could this be ? I was in shock as want to run from this fact.

I felt Rumintang would kill me cause I saw her character that time. I could not imagine how her feel when our first bad moment.

We were back to keep silent but not long time, she asked “are you ok?”

I replied nerveously.I guessed she unerstood how my expression. But what I saw? She smiled then talked about everything without caring the acctident just happened. I thought, what was she multilpe ?

Not much thought about that, I just thought Rumintang was not like I guessed. In fact, she was more talkactive than my own.

Sometimes people have mainset that already got systematic without knowing the truth. It is what i experienced. I have thought how Rumintang’s characters without knowing her. Because this embarassing moment that I have done making me to know Rumintang more.
