"Welcome home..," said Rendra cheerfully while opening the apartment door wide. "You likey?"
At first glance he noticed the apartment room which was dominated by clean white paint. Impressed more spacious, more spacious, and more modern than the apartment he had ever come before.
"Don't tell me you want to move the tower."
He could not even hide the annoyance in his voice. Although Rendra said if the apartment and car (for him) were a special gift from Papa for their wedding, but Rendra's decision to move the tower without discussing with him first clearly disturbed his pride.
"Oh, come on," Rendra kissed her forehead at a glance, then took off the clutch to pull their suitcases into the apartment.
"At that time you were busy taking care of events at home," explained Rendra calmly. "Lagian no big deal, it's" Rendra closed the apartment door as soon as he entered. "More comfortable here. The biggest type."
Yes, of course, this apartment unit is even in the main tower on the top floor, complete with access and private lifts.
"Rather than in my old place, small, just studio type," continued Rendra while hanging a bottle of mineral water taken from the refrigerator towards him. "Drink first let the crab," kerling Rendra winked one eye.
He sneered, but his hand stretched out to receive the bottle from Rendra's hand. Then choose to sit on the sofa, then drink the mineral water. Before he could express his frustration, Rendra who had been sitting right in line in front of him first said,
"Don't like moving here?"
Yeah, Mr. Straight to the point in action.
"It's not like that..."
"Keep, that's why his face is so," Rendra raised her chin giving the code to her face.
He had to swallow first. A direct and to the point conversation like this was really not her, obviously a new thing for her.
"We've just arrived, Bang. Still cape," he even still feels jetlag and has a time disorientation that makes the body feel very tired. But unexpectedly, Rendra stood up, then jumped over the table to sit next to him.
"I also cape," Rendra immediately grabbed him into the embrace. "So please dong your face is tuned to a more palatable mode."
"meaning?" he cringed.
"Oh, dear Anggi.please do not put the face of the bete so," Rendra's voice was clearly heard complaining.
"I don't like to see your face like this" continued Rendra in a slightly raised voice.
"And I'd hate it if you decide something without discussion first" he quickly won't lose the moment.
"Well!" Rendra smile. "This new is right. Say something's. Tell them you don't like it or object. Don't hold it in your heart."
He turned the eyeball.
"You can do it?"
"I hope this is the last time you do something about us without discussion," he looked up trying to look Rendra in the eye.
"That's not the way to play" whispered Rendra. "There are points that I have to decide for myself without discussion."
He's wrinkling.
"Especially regarding the good for you," Rendra looked at him solemnly. "Chief version. Debate no. Ngambek. No bete's face."
He also ventured to stare at Rendra's chocolate bead, "So what am I considered? Do you know that your version of kindness makes me happy?"
Rendra said confidently, "Absolutely yes."
"That's a big deal," she sighed annoyed.
Rendra chuckles. "For your good, your comfort, your safety." Rendra looked at him. "My partner as husband. No discussion, no debate."
"Outside of that, we can discuss," continued Rendra while blowing his face slowly. "Deal?"
He was still staring at the chocolate bead Rendra who always moved actively every time the owner spoke. "But not suddenly."
Rendra.
"For the big thing today," he ventured to keep staring at the now beautiful chocolate bead, "For me. Moving home is a big thing."
"Please tell me in advance, not suddenly like now. Ujug-ujug you invited me here without knowing anything."
"I feel.not appreciated as a wife...."
Rendra laughed a little.
"I know that no one can prevent you from doing anything" he continued, sneering. "Include me?"
Rendra still smiled broadly as she nodded, "You know me so well...."
"But please.minimal tell me in advance. Communicate in advance...."
Rendra chuckles.
"Because I don't like surprises. I don't like sudden."
"For both of us." Rendra smile. "Because we don't know when this is all over...."
"Kok Abang said that anyway," he shriveled disapprovingly.
"How is that?"
"Not good to hear" he lamented. "Abang can't say a nice talk, kata-ka....."
The sentence was cut in the air because Rendra was speechless, "The words are prayer, that is," Rendra chuckled.
But he just breathed.
"But you also know.nothing lasts forever...."
He tried to ignore Rendra's babble.
"When our first child is born, we must move from here. Stay at home. There's nanny. There's somebody else. We can't kayak now, '" Rendra's voice was cut off, probably from feeling her head had drooped weakly.
"Well, have you slept, my dear?"
Rendra's voice chuckled, followed by a warm touch at the top of his head. "Sweet dreams sweetie's...."
He who has not fully fallen asleep smiles happily, then chants a prayer with earnestness, "May this happiness be forever....."
And a week later, Rendra began to practice communication without testing in accordance with what he wanted.
"Weekend this, we go to Bandung yuk."
"Hand? Why?"
"The paragliding children want on the way to Bandung."
He also frowned fully in search. "Paragang children?"
Making Rendra chuckle because his manipulation efforts are clearly inconclusive. "No ding. Just three doang same Mas Sada with Darrel. All of you invited Mas Sada to his house in Bandung."
"Hiking in Lembang is the same tea walk to the tea garden," continued Rendra.
"All of us refreshing yes, yesterday we finished taking the test series," Rendra put on a pleading face. Two weeks ago they had just completed a series of tests of academic potential, proficiency english test, substance test, to interview, to enter post.
But he still cringes. This weekend is the end of the month. It'll definitely be overtime and home late at night. Not if you have to picket to the branch office. I can actually change the schedule, but.....
"If you want.later we set the time.Important do not disturb your work. That so?" Rendra seemed to be able to guess his heart.
"We're all looking at Adit. Since coming home from Balikpapan, we haven't seen your family since, have we?"
Hmm, Rendra's lure using the lure of meeting Adit clearly managed to influence him. For almost three months he did not meet the boy. How is Adit now yes, has it turned into an ambis student like Ganapati children in general?
Finally on Saturday morning, with the first flight, they left for Bandung. Although he had protested, "Why not take the train?" Because he thinks it's too much of a waste of money to use a plane.
"Dear dear," Rendra sighed. "A plane ticket is not much different."
"But it's different, right?" he pointed to the difference in the price of airline tickets and trains.
"And the travel time is also much different," complained Rendra. "Can you not be chatty about this kind of technical thing?"
He just sneered. Because for him, that difference of tens of thousands could be allocated to something else. As for Rendra, the difference in a number is just a change. Hmm, fine then.
And at exactly 08.50 WIB, the plane they were traveling on had landed at Husain Sastranegara airport. Which was immediately greeted with the face of Adit's sumringah in the row of pickers.
"Anggiiiii MBA!" Adit ran towards her and immediately hugged her up high.
"Gee! Adit!" he had to hit Adit's arm several times to lower it.
"Kangen is the same Mba," Adit still hugged her tightly. He hugged Adit back, "Mba also misses...."
"What's the News?" Rendra patted Adit on the shoulder several times. Then they embraced.
"Well, Bang," Adit laughed. "Add contains aja nih Bang," seloroh Adit.
"Yes dong," Rendra chuckled. "There is no taking care of it" while holding it gently.
"Truly taken care of Bang?" seloroh Adit's. "Mba Anggi can only cook fried noodles doang," continued Adit while chuckling. "Then given to eat noodles every day can be healthy gini anyway Bang?!"
"It's not healthy because of Dit's food," Rendra embraced Adit in a familiar snobs style. "It could also be because the nutrients are suitable...."
Then Rendra and Adit stupefied together, making him even more annoyed. One pervert, one son sneselin, if you gather this way, omes - bawdy-brain.
From the airport, Adit drove them to the hotel that had been booked by Mas Sada in Setiabudi area. And now they are enjoying the traffic jam in Pasir Kaliki area.
"It's jammed early in the morning, Dit?" he noticed a long row of cars snaking without end.
Adit laughed, "This is how Bandung if Mba weekend. "It's nothing" Adit still laughed. "Later if it's past Sukajadi, well.please be patient, this is a test...," Adit chuckled. While he just sneered.
"Jammed subscription huh Dit?"
"Yes Bang, most want to go to Lembang. So it's solid here."
"Well, when at first Mas Sada wanted to pesenin we hotel in Lembang," Rendra glanced at him. "It's full booked. It's in Mercure."
"Well, if you go to Lembangnya it could be two hours an Bang."
"Wow," he frowned. "Kayak Jogja - Solo dong."
Adit laughed, "Yes, really.....Though Jogja - Solo distance 5 times."
"How do you dong...ini car rental until when?" it's getting cringing.
"Tenaaang," Adit joked proudly. "Free until when."
"Can we?!" he clearly doesn't understand.
"Can. This is an office car."
"office? Whose office?!"
"Lumina Office. I am now working part time at Lumina Mba. Ugly-ugly I already earn money."
"Luminas?"
"Start up Mas Dio's pioneering same friends.te.," Adit suddenly stopped his sentence. Realize if you talk too much. With an uneasy face Adit glanced at him from the rear vision mirror. While he only gave an annoyed look towards Adit.
After a while the car suddenly quiet without anyone making a sound. Everyone is busy with their own thoughts. He, who with full consciousness and without coercion, preferred Rendra over Dio. It is now fully owned by Rendra. However, discussing anything related to Dio between them, seems to be a taboo thing that should not be done.
"Where are you, Dit?" rendra's voice that broke the silence made him jump in shock.
"The Big Bang."
"From here to your same boarding house from here to the hotel, which distance?"
Adit looked far ahead, "Far away to the hotel Bang."
"Okay, then we go to your hostel first."
"Did you?" he nodded in wonder. "Not her brother signed a deal with Darrel jam...."
"It's okay," Rendra said quickly.
"We're planning to go to Adit's kost, won't we be in the afternoon?!" now he shriveled, not liking the schedule they had planned to suddenly change.
"It's jammed all day, isn't it, Dit?" Rendra noticed the heavy traffic conditions creeping in.
"Yes Bang, all day long," Adit laughed.
"Let's still down, to be effective, to Adit's boarding house now," Rendra's voice suddenly turned stiff, as they had fought for the first time in one of the DTSL rooms, two years ago.
"Adit, you'll drive back to the office."
"E....," Adit put on a confused face.
"I don't want us to walk by office car" said Rendra coldly.
Again Adit glanced at him from the rear vision mirror with an unpleasant face.
"Later I call the hotel for a car," continued Rendra again, no less cold.
"So we go to my boarding house Bang?" Adit asked because he had to choose the path between Cisitu or to Setiabudi.
"Yes, to your boarding house."
As long as Rendra spoke he was silent. Not understanding what to do or how to act. Fortunately the traffic to Cisitu is not as dense as that towards Setiabudi. About 15 minutes later they reached the Adit boarding page.
"You're empty at Dit?" he entered a large living room with no one in sight.
"Many don't go home, sleep on campus. Or if there is no morning lecture," Adit replied while helping him bring a travel bag. While Rendra was still standing on the porch calling someone.
"Hello, Grand Mercure? I've reserved it on behalf of......."
With a hand signal he gave a code to Rendra to enter the Adit boarding house first. Rendra smiled as he nodded.
Kost Adit looks like a large two-storey old house, with two lush-fruited mango trees growing to the right and left of the courtyard. But it has been renovated in such a way that it looks more modern and comfortable.
"This is my room Mba," Adit opened the third door of about ten doors on this ground floor.
He also according to enter the room measuring 6 x 5 m which is painted clean and looks quite neat arrangement of space. There was a bed without legs, a wardrobe, a study table, but what caught his attention the most was a large, ceiling-high bookcase containing tens or even hundreds of mostly IT-themed books.
"Yes aampuuun," he shook his head in surprise. "You've only been in college for three months and you've been able to buy this many books, Dit?!" he clearly doesn't believe. At first glance he saw most of the books are English literature that certainly did not cost cheap.
But Adit just laughed, "Not Mba, these books all have what used to cost here."
"Yes?" he shook his head. "Who? You knew him first? Smansa's son?" on his head crossed a row of SMANSA children who studied in Ganapati. Who would be kind enough to leave this many books for Adit.
"Mas Dio. Along with the entry of Rendra into the room.
"Adith? Is this really his room?" said Rendra with a wet face like washing your face.
"Sori, just to the back of the bathroom first," continued Rendra.
"Meet Bang?" Adit asked.
"Here, wash your face" Rendra pointed at her wet face. He also pulled a small towel that had just been taken from the travel bag towards Rendra.
"So...Mba same brother rest first," said Adit. "Not at breakfast, right? There is yellow rice. Wait a minute," Adit picked up the jacket hanging behind the door.
"Well, don't bother Dit," she said subtly. Frankly, he is not hungry. Especially after knowing this was Dio's former room....
But Rendra has another opinion, "Eh, Dit, all of you. If you do not use the car anymore, just mending back again."
"How is it going to be?"
"Barusan already asked the hotel to bring a car here."
"Can that be?" he nodded in wonder.
"Can. The important thing is to be able to pay," Rendra replied with a strange tone heard in her ear.
"Unless you need to" continued Rendra.
"Yes Bang," Adit nodded in understanding.
"Later I'm the same Anggi to the hotel using a car that was again delivered here."
Adit nodded with an expression of not wanting to ask again. But when Adit was about to come out, Rendra again invited to talk, but this time he did not have time to hear what Rendra said, he said, because he was fascinated with a minimalist two-sided photo frame that is slightly dusty, stored on a study table shelf.
One side contains a photo that is very familiar to him, namely the photo of the two with Mother Dio shortly after they batik together in Mirota Batik. While the other side contains photos.They were both shortly after SMU graduation, smiling broadly at the camera, complete with a medal on the neck, and, and a black velvet sash was draped over Dio's shoulder that read the best graduate. His chest suddenly rumbled, Dio still kept a graduation photo that even he himself did not remember they had taken a picture of the two like this.
"Darling?" the sound of the call made him aghast. "Why daydream?"
He then threw the picture frame to the study table.
***
Rendra
He did not know what feelings were controlling him. However, hearing the vehicle they were riding in indirectly came from Dio, making his blood bubble and directly go up to the top of his head. I don't know.
Plus as he was wiping his face with a small towel given by Anggi, his eyes caught an unpleasant object on the study table shelf.
What the fuck?!
So all this time the glasses are still storing photos Anggi?! Dare to.
Making the already boiling blood become increasingly hot bubbling. Without thinking he told Adit, "Dit, please go to the supermarket."
"Yes Bang?"
"Please buy it." he then began to mention things they didn't really need. "If there's no stuff, search until you can." In other words, he did not want Adit quickly returned to boarding. Because he wanted to finish something that made his heart suddenly upset.
His head was almost blown out. Where are your favorite glasses? Look, I won! I did it! I own Anggi!
I win's.
