My boyfriend's a Vampire
Episode 95: First Experience to Market
The alarm rang from Ryan's phone, his hand reaching for the switch located on his bedside nightstand. The right time shows at 3 am.
“Czech...”
Hotel room lights were lit up dimly, the corner of his eyes were spread throughout the room, Ryan looking for a piece of paper that Maya had left yesterday night. Rushing the guy changed his clothes and got ready for the market. The cab was booked online, twenty minutes waiting. For too long, his bright idea came up, he would use his strength to run as fast as possible to the nearest market to buy spinach and bread.
“Tying..”.
The elevator doors were wide open, Ryan stepped his feet through the hotel lobby, the atmosphere was quiet and dim, two receptionists stood guard behind the desk. Ryan smiled as he passed them. Passing through the automatically opened exit, a large high-statured security guard greeted him.
“Good morning,Sir. Should I call a taxi?”sapanya friendly.
“Morning.. I've ordered. Taxis are waiting out there,” Ryan said looking for an excuse.
With a sneak, the guy observes the circumstances around him. Outside the hotel courtyard, the highway seemed deserted, not a single vehicle passed by in the early hours of the morning, cold air ambushed through the gap of clothes, the cold pierced the bones. Ryan buttoned his jacket high, glimpsed the clock that was circular in his right hand, at three past fifteen minutes, meaning he had to rush to the market. The man ran as fast as he could, within seconds he had reached the front door of the city's largest modern market. Ryan entered through the entrance of the motorcycle, the parking guard looked at him with a astonished face and observed him from head to toe.
“Mas...Don't bring motor?”
“Oh..
The parking attendant returned to astonishment, his head turned to the right and to the left, the streets seemed empty, only two-three cars transporting vegetables that lowered their merchandise to the market.
Ryan did not bother with the parking attendant who seemed suspicious and wanted to know the affairs of others. The market stalls are still quiet, only a few vegetable traders began to organize their wares, he said, the vegetables are washed with water to look fresh and placed on a wooden table that is large enough and given a white plastic base.
“Pak..Buy vegetable spinach dong seikat.”
“Nih...Still fresh, 3000 rupiah.”
“This,Pak, Just take the change. Can you help cook sauteed spinach?”
“Wah..Sorry..Mas ask for help to the stall there,”saran vegetable seller while showing his index finger to a food stall that has been opened.
Ryan hurriedly headed for the stall,”Mbak…..Can you help me?”
A woman in her 30s looked over and put her spoon back on the pan.
“Take nothing ripe yet,Mas. Want to wait?”
“Not so. Help masakin spinach can?”
“Oh...I also make vegetable spinach but a little weeding.”
Ryan glanced back at the clockwise, his heart pounding harder,”Yes Allah.It's only thirty minutes left, his inner”.
“Mbak..Please, this is for OSEK and we are out of town. Here I pay,”ask Ryan while taking out a piece of red paper money.
Reaching the eyes of the owner of the food stall sparkled brightly, his lips turned a smile when he received the money. Nimbly he received the spinach vegetable and cut it into smaller parts and washed it.
“Wait a minute! Want to put on a tupperware or stereofoam container like this?”
“I don't bring tupper ware,Mbak.”
“Yaudah I added rice. Free kok.”
Ryan is grateful that Maya can eat more new rice today.
“Wah..Bakery still closed all,Mas. But I have bread, just take it.”
Luckily Ryan that morning, as if Goddess Fortuna was siding with him, his lips turned to a happy smile when he received a plastic bag of red crackles containing rice and vegetable spinach and bread.
Ryan stepped out of the market in a hurry, the watch on his right wrist showed 3.45 minutes, a very tight time, motorcycle taxi around the market was still empty, online orders also take a lot of time. Tied up a plastic bag of red crackle and held it in the chest, while dipping to the right to the left, the man ran as fast as lightning over the speed of light so as to give the impression that the man was flying.
Maya has finished bathing and changed clothes, brewed a cereal for breakfast. On the table have prepared a number of tools for OSEK later, including alma mater suits. This girl is waiting for her lunch with her heart racing. Ten minutes away, the gates of his faculty campus will be closed. For students who are late are not given a dispensation to continue OSEK this year, but are required to repeat OSEK in the following year.
The girl wore her socks and shoes, and went down the stairs to the bottom floor. The atmosphere of the cost is still quiet, the entire population is still asleep, the art was not awake. Maya sits on the front porch of the house while waiting for the arrival of Ryan who never arrived.
“Plok...Plok..Plok...”.
The sound of the footsteps of shoes that collided with the ceramic floor, Maya looked back, apparently Wulan a friend next to her room.
“May, first yes! Don't be late! the thrill of correcting the location of his backpack.
“I'm still waiting for lunch,nih.”
“I brought food last night.”
“Sayurnya afraid of stale,Lan.”
“I brought vegetable bitter melon not quickly stale. Stale little eat will not die this,”selorohnya while chuckling.
Maya just laughed while waving, her heart pounding faster and her cold sweat started to come out, afraid of failing OSEK.
Glanced at the circular clock on his left wrist,”Three o'clock fifty-four minutes. Yes Allah is only six minutes away.”
Tears began to pool in both eyes of the girl, far away she left the house until renting the only property to others, in the hometown people even become failed people, even failed people, pupus is the goal to make the deceased happy papa and mama. Maya sits lethargic while staring at the boarding gate with a vacant view.
Suddenly a voice called him,”May. Get to campus now!”
The girl turned to the right side, Ryan had been standing in front of the boarding house fence, his figure was less clearly visible because the road in front of the house was still dark, there were no street lights. Maya wiped away the tears with the back of her hand, her lips turning back into a smile. Hurriedly the girl ran to pick up Ryan, hugging him tightly with a happy and full of feelings.
“Thank you, Ryan..You saved my life.”
“Sama-sama. Hurry up to campus. Gausah much pleasantries. Spirit,May!”
Maya nods and runs to keep from entering the campus gate too late. His breathing was piqued when he reached the campus.
“Less 1 minute, my history will be over. Puffttt..”
The girl heaved a sigh of relief, while putting her bags and luggage somewhere, and re-joined her group to continue OSEK on the second day.
Ryan looked at Maya from behind until the girl's back completely disappeared from view. The guy realized it was still morning and it was still difficult to find a motorbike taxi at this hour. Finally Ryan used it to jog up to the hotel. The streets were still dark, the cold was ambushing. There were only a few people pedaling their bikes to the market with their wares in the cart behind the bike. There are also some motorcyclists who pass by, on average, private vehicles. Ryan kept running on the side of the highway and put a fluorescent bracelet on his right and left arms so motorists could see him on the road and avoid the risk of getting hit.
“Lumayan too, can exercise in the morning,”mum Ryan while wiping the sweat dripping on his forehead.
Passing through a huge banyan tree in the square, Ryan felt that a pair of eyes were watching him.
“Do not burglarize or rob hiding,”batinnya while looking back.
Vampire instincts say that the figure is not human, but a pair of eyes that highlight like a lamp, a bright red color.
