Always Gonna Be You
42. The Dynamic Duo

Rakai

He tried to call Zikka's cell phone, his bedmate for almost a week, after a month ago they met in Goshe during clubbing.

The nut! The nut! The nut!

Three calls, three times he only found a connecting tone. Ah, dammit!

"Kai!" call Mas Sada. "The baby is sleeping. The big one also seems to be in a moment. Cepet take it home before later on the road to wake up trus nangis again even bother."

He immediately scratched his head that did not feel itchy at all. "Bentar Mas's. Cave call me first."

"Not wearing it for long!"

He just hissed while glancing at the left wrist, 02.10 WIB. Ah, goddamn. Anybody still wakes up at this hour. But because he understood very well will not be able to handle Arung and Saga alone, his brain began to work quickly.

"Gus?"

"Yaowo Bang.," came an upset voice from across the street.

"Sori.tori...."

"Piro iki clock (what time is it)?" Good sounds nagging.

"Gus, you will be his home in front of Mba Suko. Can you please take Mba Suko to the cave apartment?"

"When?"

"Two years left. Now! Now! If not now why the cave call you early in the morning blind!" he shouted impatiently.

"Oh," Good sounds keep the phone away from the ear.

"Bang, ojo ngadi-ngadi (don't be weird). I saiki again turu nang mess, ga mulih (i was sleeping in mess, not coming home)."

He sniffed. "Yes, the end of dawn immediately pick up Mba Suko, continue to bring it to the cave apartment."

"Let's go..iyo (yes, yes). Don't make it (i work it)."

He hung up the phone while exhaling an annoyed breath.

"Return to what?" shouted Mas Sada who waved from the direction of the terrace.

With half a run he rushed towards the terrace while grunting mischievously, "Mercy Mas, mercykil (pebbles aka pebbles or on foot)."

Mas Sada grunted.

"The cave car was taken by Rendra to nganter Anggi to the hospital," he continued.

"Yes already. Wearing a cave car," then Mas Sada called a colleague who was standing not far from them. "No! No!"

"Ready, sir."

"Please take Rakai and the kids home. You'll come back here again."

"Ready."

"Kai, you were escorted with Wahono," said Mas Sada while pointing to his partner who was this early in the morning already in neat uniforms.

He can only nod. All the way incessantly look to the back seat where Arung and Saga are sleeping soundly on the baby car seat respectively.

"Please cooperate with the children" he hissed expectantly. "Don't get up before your Papi comes. Okay?"

But he realized that his hopes were too grandiose as a punguk longing for the moon. Whatever.

With the help of Aiptu Wahono, he was finally able to bring Arung and Saga to his apartment unit smoothly and peacefully without any obstacles aka they still remain sound asleep.

"Wow, thank you very much Mr. Wahono," he was really relieved because now Arung and Saga have slept on the bed of his guest room safely without obstacles as had been feared before.

"Together, my mother."

As soon as Aiptu Wahono left the apartment, he immediately washed his face and intended to change clothes that felt sticky.

"Abang...," sizzled Zikka slowly. "Home home?" then it inched as her hands held onto the blanket to cover her upper body.

"The phone's not lifted!" grunt while grabbing the shirt from inside the closet and then wearing it.

"Then anyway? No wonder, I'm so sleepy," Zikka put on a sulking face.

But he did not say, "I slept in the guest room" he said as he walked out of the room.

"Why?"

"Nemenin's son Rendra."

He is currently playing with Arung in the backyard of Rendra's house. Chasing rabbits and hamsters hiding behind trees and flower plants, catching dragonflies and butterflies, feeding koi fish in clear ponds, and, when suddenly there was the sound of someone calling his name.

"Dragon!"

"Dragon!"

This time he felt his shoulders being shaken quite hard, "Fly!"

In one jolt he immediately sat down, making his head dizzy because of the sudden movement.

"Why?" the question is confused while massaging the dizzy head.

He saw Zikka standing with a waistline. "There are children crying the screams of time are not horrified anyway?!"

He is still trying to collect lives scattered somewhere due to forced sleep.

"From now on cry!" zikka grumbled as she pointed towards the back of her body.

"Yesuahuahuaaaa....."

"Huakhakhakhakhakhakkk....."

Suddenly the sound of baby's cries that were earthy came to deafen his ears.

"Yesuahuahuaaaa....."

"Huakhakhakhakhakhakkk....."

"Yesuahuahuaaaa....."

"Huakhakhakhakhakhakkk....."

Dilihatnya Arung yang telah duduk di bagian kepala tempat tidur dan Saga yang kini tengkurap sama-sama menangis histeris dengan membuka mulut lebar-lebar.

"Yesuahuahuaaaa....."

"Huakhakhakhakhakhakkk....."

"Geez," he patted the eel with a sigh.

"Zik, please make milk dong," point it towards the pantry where he stores Arung and Saga equipment including milk.

"Ih," Zikka shuddered. "Ogah ah's. I have morning school. Not taking a shower either," Zikka grumbled as she passed out of the room. Don't care about it at all.

Huh! He sniffed. This is how it is to play with spoiled college kids. When he gets into trouble, it doesn't help him one bit. All you have in mind may be college, skin care, shopping, ngafe, make love.

Feeling directed her to check on the crying Arung in the corner. And sure enough, his pants are wet from bedwetting. Experience proves. I got it.

But also made him cluck with regret, why this morning did not wear Arung pospak. So now it will be a hassle again to be clammy and change clothes. Where to wear crying again. Be present.

He had to catch his breath first before he said to himself, "Okay, Rakai, you are the greatest. You can, you can!"

Then reached out, "Let's Arung, we go to the bathroom."

While continuing to cry Arung held tightly to his finger to walk towards the bathroom. But just a few steps he just shouted in panic, "Saga! No no no! Don't roll around later it can fall!"

He immediately took off Arung's hand to approach Saga who had now been at the end of the bed almost fell.

"Thank God," his hiss was relieved at catching Saga's body before sliding free-fall onto the floor.

"If you're doing anything, you can Amang in kekk," while practicing the movement of cutting the neck. "Your father."

"The worst thing ever!" gerutu.

He also hurriedly kept Saga who had not screamed too much despite still whining to the middle of the bed, which turned wet because of the former Arung toothpick.

"Let's go," he seemed to be going crazy from talking to himself. "But you all change your clothes."

Then block each side of the bed with a pile of pillows and bolsters.

"It's okay, but no roll-over okay?" his index finger pointed right at the face of Saga who was now glaring at him.

"Eits, don't glare!" he wiggled the index sign in disagreement.

"Not polite glared at the parents. Ah well, the cave is already a parent. Gua is still young," he continues to babble himself while walking to the bathroom intending to steal the bedwetting Arung. But just arrived at the front door of the bathroom, precisely he who glared, he was,

"ARUNGNGNGNG!?!?"

For the sake of seeing Arung was laughing in excitement while his hands were tearing water inside the closet.

Goose

He just finished sweeping the dirty yard due to the leaves of rambutan, guava, and mangoes that fell when Miko called from inside the house.

"Mba Put, mobile phone moni ket want (Mba Put, her phone sounds from earlier)."

"Roll the gowo rene (please bring it here)" he said, sitting on the porch, wiping the sweat that soaked his neck and temples because of the sweep.

"Iki," Miko who had been neatly wearing the school uniform held out her phone that suddenly lit up.

Boss 2 Calling

Waduh, Bang Rakai, he frowned confusedly. Why did you call her so early? Are there any reports that have been missed or....

"Hello, Bang?"

"To office? Can...can, eng....is there a report lacking?"

"No, to my apartment."

"What?"

"Look, I'm not going to repeat a sentence. So please listen carefully."

It cringes.

"You came to my apartment. Go straight into the lobby, just told me security if you were my guest. Just give me an identity card. If you can before seven o'clock, get here. Don't forget to stop by the supermarket that is already open or the market or stall, it's up to you. Buy all the necessary equipment for babies aged 1 year and several months. Everything was. Do you know what kind of baby equipment they are? Later reimbursh."

He still frowned trying to digest the intent of a series of Rakai sentences spoken in one breath when the phone connection was cut off.

Clik.

Tut! Tut! Tut! Tut!

He was still dumbstruck when Miko suddenly stood before him and extended her hand, "Buddhal sik, Mba (depart first, mba)."

He welcomes Miko's hand as he continues to think about Rakai's long instructions.

"Ngopo to esuk-esuk wis ngelamun (why do you daydream early in the morning)?" reprimand Miko for the sake of seeing her dumb face.

He just grimaced, "Lho gasik men to (very early in the morning)?"

"Saiki wis class rolas, ben esuk ono enrichment (now it's twelfth class, every morning there is enrichment)."

"Oh," he nodded. "Ati-ati."

Miko nodded back along with some of her school friends who passed in front of the house.

"Oi, Mik! Wis did not expect pr rung (have done pr yet)?"

Miko and her friends were still chatting in front of the house when her eyes accidentally saw the clock on the screen of the phone that was lit because there was a notification of incoming messages.

Hours 06.15

Waduh, even though he had to arrive at Rakai's apartment before seven. He rushed into the house to take a shower and get ready.

Hour 06.55

With a little hassle because his two hands were full by some crackle filled with groceries, he finally managed to squeeze the bell on the door of Rakai's apartment.

Had to wait a few minutes before the door was opened by a beautiful-faced girl who was only wearing Rakai's oversized t-shirt - because she had seen her boss wearing the shirt at the ManjoMaju-gathering event.

"Who's looking?" the pretty girl's eyebrows wrinkled as soon as she saw it.

"B-bang Rakai is there?" the answer was nervous to realize the girl was watching him from head to toe.

"There was. You who? What's the need?"

"Who, Zik?" rakai screamed from inside.

"Know," replied the girl half-screaming. "Out again asked."

"Snakes, right? If you ask to come in!" Rakai screamed again followed by the sound of baby crying.

"Huakhakhakhakhakhakkk....."

"Yes, I'm Fogged," he said quickly.

"Oh, okay." the girl opened the door wider. "Don't forget to close the door," the girl ordered as she sauntered first inside.

He had to put a fairly heavy grocery crack on the floor, before finally closing the door.

"Who?" rakai's voice asked again, this time no longer shouting.

"Well, the baby sitter has arrived" the girl replied, pointing at him.

"Oh, Put, finally," with a happy face Rakai who was holding a baby who was crying screamed while stomping her feet.

"Sign in.enter...Sori nih so ngerepotin you. At dawn Bagus already picked up Mba Suko but it turned out to be rewang at his brother's house in Delanggu where it was. So you can't come here" said Rakai whose appearance this time looks much different than when they used to meet at the office. Currently Rakai only wears shorts above the knee and sleeveless t-shirts with disheveled hair that makes his bangs fall over the forehead.

Before he was able to escape the burden, Rakai first back up, "Nah....Saga....ada who else came....remember not the same Aunt Puput?" while pointing at him.

"Huakhakhakhakhakhakkk...."

He automatically noticed the face of the baby Rakai was carrying, and was surprised to realize, "I-this is Bang Rendra's Saga?!"

"Tuh, her brother is also here," pointed Rakai inward where she could see Arung ruffling the shelves containing hundreds of superhero action figures while occasionally flailing him to one side of the shelf.

"For dah!" Rakai spontaneously patted his forehead with a clear face to see the behavior of Arung who is now even laughing out loud while continuing to pound the action figures of favorite superhero a million people to the corner of the shelf.

"Destroyed the collection of caves," complained Rakai while throwing his face from the laughter of Arung who increasingly chuckled.

"K-okos they can be here?" he was still confused not understanding.

"The story is long," sizzled Rakai with a veiled face. "Now wash your hands first. Continue to hold Saga nih from earlier crying and do not know what to ask," continued Rakai pointed to Saga who continued to scream in the sling of Rakai.

"Huakhakhakhakhakhakkk....."

In a hurry he walked towards the pantry, intending to wash his hands in the dishwasher. Rakai prevented it.

"To the bathroom just Put. Let's wash our feet clean. Ntar could-can cave diomelin Rendra if the megang his son is not hygienic."

He went to the bathroom, eh but where's the bathroom? This is the first time he entered Rakai's apartment. Usually only up to the lobby to submit documents.

"Next to the TV," pointed at Rakai as if understanding the contents of his head. "Bathroom over there."

He rushed to the bathroom Rakai had pointed to, past the main room whose door was wide open. Where he accidentally saw the beautiful girl who had opened the door for him was sleeping on a large bed while playing a cellphone with her feet raised. Showing beautiful long legs that are not even covered by anything.

Glug.

The sight immediately made him swallow. He is not ignorant of two frontman ManjoMaju, Rendra-before family-and Rakai, has a free lifestyle in the style of a metropolis. But seeing reality with his own eyes still made him amazed.

"What did you buy Put, so much?"

When he returned from the bathroom, he saw that Rakai had been sitting on the carpet in front of the TV. With Saga who was lying next to him despite still whining. And Arung who began to be interested in dismantling the grocery crackle.

"No Arung! No!" prevent Rakai when you see Arung take telon oil and put it directly into the mouth.

"It's not food!" with a grunt as bad as Rakai trying to take telon oil from Arung's hand, but it makes Arung persistently defend it.

"Grooves!" rakai's voice began to rise.

Make him hastily take over, "Baby Arung..here is the same Aunt...," he reached out to the direction of Arung. Who immediately greeted him with a chuckling laugh.

"Huffft!" in order to see Arung want to release the telon oil and now sitting sweetly on his lap, Rakai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nyerah Put cave, ngadepin Rendra children," Rakai grumbled as he shook his head. Then lay yourself on the carpet.

He just laughed, "Arung same Saga funny kok Bang," while watching Arung who is now busy playing a cardboard box containing biscuits by banging it on the carpet. While the prone Saga was still a little whining, making him reach for the plump baby's body.

"Saga why, baby? Thirsty? Huh yeah?"

"Hekhekhekhek..," Saga's mouth was agitated while whining.

"Susu and the others are in Put's pantry," Rakai's hand stalling towards the pantry with her eyes closed.

He nodded straight to the pantry intending to make milk for Saga. But he suddenly remembered something, "Saga is not still ASI Bang? Is there a milking?"

But the person asked did not answer, had fallen asleep to the dream world.

"Bang Rakai?" call again. Worried wrong could instead diarrhea his Saga.

Maybe because knowing Rakai did not respond even though he kept calling, Arung took the initiative to help him by waking Rakai. But the way it is used is magical, anti-mainstream.

"Ouch! Ouch!" rakai shouted loudly as Arung pulled the fine fur that was plentiful along the feet of his boss.

"Eh, Arung?" he was also surprised to find Arung chuckling happily while his hands continued to pinch and pull the feathers that are many along the legs of Rakai.

"Ouch! Arung Sick!" inevitably Rakai got up and moved away to escape from the attack of Arung pinch.

"Over time the cave can be stressful!" gerutu Rakai while getting up.

"Bang," he didn't want to lose the moment. "This Saga isn't it still ASI? Can I drink formula milk?"

"Fear of diarrhea" said Masygul.

"Isn't it milk?" Rakai asked back.

Okay, fixed Rakai doesn't know anything about babies and children. It is also free to keep asking.

"Udah deh, any love is up to you," continued Rakai finally. "Importantly her son was silent, not crying. I bow down to the cave of thanks."

He just grimaced. "But Bang...."

Rakai who has gone so undo the steps. "Otherwise?"

"Jam nine there is a meeting with a new supplier. Meet with Mr. Gatot. Worrying about forgetting. This reschedule a week ago. It's usually only on Saturdays. But you already agreed at that time," he replied as well as trying to give an explanation while continuing to grimace feeling bad.

Rakai bellowed while watching the digital clock mounted on top of the television. It's exactly 07:34.

"Nine hours, right?" reset Rakai.

He nodded.

"I slept for a while. If eight o'clock past fifteen do not leave the room, please wake up," said Rakai Cuek and then move into the room. Leaving him three with Arung and Saga who are now busy playing alone.
