The Picnic in the Car

Olu made sandwiches on Saturday morning. It was his second date with Kemi. He put the food in a basket. He took a blanket too.

Olu membuat sandwich pada Sabtu pagi. Itu kencan keduanya dengan Kemi. Ia memasukkan makanan ke dalam keranjang. Ia juga membawa selimut.

They met at the park at noon. The sky was blue. They sat under a big tree. Kemi smiled at him. "This is nice," she said.

Mereka bertemu di taman pada tengah hari. Langit biru. Mereka duduk di bawah pohon besar. Kemi tersenyum kepadanya. "Ini menyenangkan," katanya.

Olu opened the basket. He had cheese sandwiches and two apples. He also had a bottle of juice. Kemi took a sandwich and ate it. "It is very good," she said.

Olu membuka keranjang. Ada sandwich keju dan dua apel. Ada juga sebotol jus. Kemi mengambil sebuah sandwich dan memakannya. "Enak sekali," katanya.

Then a drop fell on his hand. Another drop fell on the blanket. Dark clouds came over the park.

Lalu setetes air jatuh di tangannya. Setetes lagi jatuh di selimut. Awan gelap datang menutupi taman.

The rain came fast. "Run!" Kemi said. They took the basket and the blanket. They ran to Olu's car. Both of them were wet. They laughed all the way.

Hujan turun dengan deras. "Lari!" kata Kemi. Mereka membawa keranjang dan selimut. Mereka berlari ke mobil Olu. Keduanya basah kuyup. Mereka tertawa sepanjang jalan.

They sat in the car and shut the doors. Olu gave Kemi her sandwich again. The rain hit the roof. It sounded like small drums.

Mereka duduk di dalam mobil dan menutup pintu. Olu memberikan sandwich Kemi lagi. Hujan menghantam atap. Bunyinya seperti drum-drum kecil.

They ate and listened. The park was grey outside. Kemi looked at the window for a long time.

Mereka makan dan mendengarkan. Taman di luar tampak kelabu. Kemi memandangi jendela cukup lama.

"Is this a bad date?" Olu asked.

"Apakah ini kencan yang buruk?" tanya Olu.

Kemi bit her sandwich and smiled. "No," she said. "Best picnic ever. Same car next week?"

Kemi menggigit sandwich-nya dan tersenyum. "Bukan," katanya. "Piknik terbaik sepanjang masa. Mobil yang sama minggu depan?"
