An Unwanted Match
THE JYTD 30

After leaving the hospital. Galang and Thea are still coming with Mr. Yahya and Ms. Rini. Fortunately, nothing bad happened after the incident, so Galang did not need to be hospitalized.

However, Thea saw Galang increasingly daydreaming next to her. He seemed to think of something that was disturbing enough to not heed its existence since earlier.

"Doctor said, you have to rest a lot, Lang," said Bu Rini who was in the front seat. "Thea, mama tipped Galang, yes. Make sure he gets enough rest. If there's anything, don't call mama."

Thea looked at her husband for a moment, Galang was still silent and just staring out the car glass. "Yes, Ma."

"Why don't you take me to your house?"

Uhukk!

Thea suddenly choked on hearing Galang's question. The man piqued a little and hugged his jacket, he stared at Bu Rini.

"Seriously?" ask Thea.

"Mom must be mad if I come home sick. Now, I just need a ride to sleep last night" said Galang again.

"Why do you want to go to mom's? Really?!" ask Miss Rini not to believe it.

"If you don't mind."

"Alhamdulillah. Of course not, son. Your mom wants to go home."

Ms. Rini was so enthusiastic even though Galang's expression was very flat on her. A smile that is no less fluffy was shown Thea and Pak Yahya. They did not expect Galang willing to come to his old house without being asked.

***

Galang and Thea begin to get off the car after their long journey. When she first set foot on the ground, Thea threw a glance at the various corners.

The house he used to live in has not changed much. Maybe nothing has changed. Except for the whitewashed walls that still look new.

Thea helped lead Galang to the main door, the man showed no overreaction. Mr. Yahya did not come home together because he suddenly had a job.

"Welcome back home, son. Mama will show you the room you used to live in with Thea. Come ...," take Miss Rini.

They also entered the house. From a distance, it looked like a middle-aged man had come over with a small run. With a slight squeak on her forehead, Thea was still able to recognize the man even though her hair color had partially turned white.

"Alhamdulillah. Den Galang and Non Thea finally came home too, my feelings, had not met for a long time," the man said, smiling widely at them.

He is Mang Saswi, a driver who has worked for Pak Yahya and Bu Rini. Someone who is always with Bu Dewi if Galang celebrates small events at home after graduation every year.

Galang. "Who is he?"

"He's Mang Saswi, Lang. Our family driver from a long time ago. You must not remember it yet" replied Miss Rini. "What, has their room been cleaned with Bi Susi?"

"Here you go, madam."

"good. Now, I ask you to go to my husband's place. I'll text you the address." The orders from Bu Rini were directly carried out by Mang Saswi.

The three of them walked to the second floor of the house. While setting foot, Galang suddenly got a silhouette from past memories. When he was in this place.

One step.

Two steps.

***

"Lo abis drinking gasoline, huh? Oil jell? Or autan?"

"Huh?"

BUKS!

Suddenly a woman kicked her leg bone until the young man grimaced in pain.

"Well, this is elo! Buset bye, sick!"

"You never get the same attention from people! Even thought I was mabok. I'm not just the name, am I wrong?" The woman was angry again.

"Yes your abisnya make me shiver tau no! Put on that rich smile, huh."

"Ooooo, so you want me to be the real one? Hmh?"

***

On the third step, the bar stopped. He held on tightly to the staircase. Because every time that memory comes, it can't control the body.

"You okay? Still strong way?" ask Thea worried. Her husband's face grew pale beside her.

Galang. "Just a little dizzy. I'm gonna get up and get some sleep."

They also showed the room that had been occupied, it turned out that the room also did not change much. Furniture and furniture does not move. It's still the same as before.

Galang sat on the edge of the mattress and saw a figura that showed a picture of him as a child until wearing a high school uniform, there was also a large size photo attached to the wall, when he was with Thea put on the wedding dress.

"You guys take a quiet break. Mama stay first, yeah."

Thea nodded, Miss Rini left the two of them in the room. After that, Thea walked towards the big cupboard not far from where she was. He was a little surprised, all their clothes were still there and looked whole and fragrant.

"It turns out papa's mom didn't throw away our stuff." Thea muttered inwardly. He closed the closet door again and walked towards Galang with a towel.

"Why are you sleeping? He said he was dizzy, he wanted to sleep."

Thea saw Galang still open his eyes even though he was lying on his bed.

"Where are you going?" ask Galang.

"I'm sick, I'm gonna take a shower. Why?"

"Ck! Yeah, already. It's up to you."

Thea frowned, the man turned his back and looked annoyed. "Lah .. is he angry? What am I wrong?"

Galang screeched as Thea did not bully him and continued to step into the bathroom.

"Basasas women are less sensitive." Galang tried to close his eyes, inhaling the scent of rose flowers from the blanket he was wearing so that it made him a little comfortable.

Until now, he has not told the truth to Miss Dewi if he will stay at this house. He just said he'd go for a walk with Thea for a few days. Fortunately, Miss Dewi believes and considers it a second honeymoon for them.

***

"Your son, sleep while curling at me. Basic perverted brain!" said a woman who screamed a little while throwing a pillow roll towards Galang.

"Emm?"

Galang somewhat surprised by the words of the woman just now, he who was still half-conscious repeatedly tried to stroke both eyes with his hands to resuscitate himself.

And after enough awareness, he realized that It was Thea who made him fall to the floor, because he saw that Thea was looking at him upset.

"Well! Elo who made me jatoh?! Uh, who's been curling elo? I don't want me. Disturb my sleep aja lo," said Galang rather upset while moving from the floor and want to sleep again on the mattress.

BHUKA!

Suddenly Thea threw a pillow at him with annoyance.

"Don't try, yeah! Sleep under there! I don't want to sleep with you! Perverted brain!" thea said later.

"Well? Why should I sleep downstairs? This my bed? It was obviously Elo who was sleeping downstairs! Look out, I'm going to sleep!" said Galang did not want to lose. Immediately spread his body again without caring about Thea's endless babbling.

BHUKA!

Again Thea rolled the frail body to the floor for the second time.

"Adededeh, uh buset ni girl kejem terribly si! Sick tau! Lo maen gulingin my body. I'm a bolster goat, hahh!"

"You're the one who's got to sleep downstairs, period!" thea shouted a little.

"Well, I don't want to!" said Galang did not want to lose while moving again to the bed.

However, it seemed like Thea really did not want to let it go so easily that there was a small commotion to maintain their respective positions.

"Go!"

"Relieve it!"

"That's right!"

Encouragement ensued, and the fierce quarrel was stopped because one of them could not balance themselves.

Thea, who was spontaneous, accidentally pulled Galang's body until it hit his own body.

One kiss landed, right on Thea's lips.

***

Aghast galang. He opened his eyes with a breath. After waking up from a dream, he rubbed his face. In fact, the effect of the dream until after waking up. His heart was beating rapidly as if there was a strange stream surfing in his heart.

"What the fuck? Was Thea always that cruel to me?"

Flipping position on the bed. But, his dreams came again and again. In the end, he really could not sleep well due to the dream.

"Why you?"

"Well! Astagfirullah, surprise me." Galang shocked, Thea suddenly was near her mattress with wet hair that was still messy. Moreover plus the memory of his dream about that woman! Imagining his shins being kicked so many times, made Galang shudder himself.

"You why the hell? Nightmare?" ask Thea again.

"Yes. Because you. You better get out there, I'm gonna go to bed again," Galang kicked at Thea who just wanted to get on the bed.

"Gee! Yes, I'm leaving!"

"Yes, it's there!"

"Yes, already. I'll change my clothes first!"

Thea snorted annoyedly. "Yes, already. I won't be back! Hye!"

Galang turned his body, pulled Thea's hand until the woman fell on his body.

"Don't."

Thea's lips pursed. "Said I left."

"Just believe it" said Galang. "If you leave, you will forget about time and forget about me. You are so easy to move on from other people. You have to take responsibility for making me sick like this."

Galang hugged Thea as if he did not want to let her go. If only someone could interpret again every sentence, Galang actually wanted to say. "Don't go, I need you here!"

It's just, Galang too prestige to say that.

***

In the evening after Isha's prayer at home. Bu Rini is excited to present the results of his cooking at the dining table. Waiting for a man who will be a judge to judge the success of his artificial taste.

There is chicken soup, fish pepes, capcai and some other foods, not to forget fresh fruits as a companion.

"Group, here, kid! We eat together" called Bu Rini when he saw Galang coming.

The man was sitting on a chair with a disheveled face. How not, the rest that should be calm so disturbed because flashbacks of memories about Thea rampant everywhere. It turned out that so much was going on between them, but in fact there were very few beautiful dreams that came to visit.

"What's wrong? You don't like the food?" bu Rini asked as she saw Galang just staring at his empty plate.

"No. I was just remembering something" Galang replied.

"Don't think too hard. Now, you eat first. Papa said he wanted to come home late, so couldn't come to dinner."

Galang just nodded. But then he was suddenly shocked when there was someone sitting next to him. It's Thea. The woman came after washing her hands.

"Why again?" ask Thea wonder.

"No. I just don't like you sitting next to me."

Thea's eyes glared sharply. "Why is that?"

It's wrong behavior. Really, there's no way he's forgotten every dream. Thea was so cruel that she kept kicking her leg bones all the time. But, he also could not be honest if he had remembered some of their past. Because he thought, it was too early for him to make sure of something.

"No, that's. It's up to you to sit where."

Thea scowls. He felt strange with the attitude of Galang. Always fickle and unclear.

"Hows it? Yummy?" ask Miss Rini.

"Yes .. this is delicious."

"Thank God. Mama thought you wouldn't like it."

Galang did not say. However, the mouthful that went into his mouth made Bu Rini no longer need an answer. She's happy.

"There's something I want to ask you. But-" Galang stopped the word, he hesitated.

"About what? Just ask, Lang."

"That .. what is this-" Galang slightly stirred his food with a spoon. Actually, he wanted to ask one important thing that he wanted to match from this house. However, it all froze as he felt his stomach as if it was wrapped around and his throat felt hot.

"That's garlic. Wh why? The flavor's less subtle, huh?" asked Bu Rini when she saw a small piece of garlic on her son's plate. Though only one mouth entered into the mouth of Galang, but he stopped.

"Not that. But--"

The sound of the chairs creaking, Galang left them quickly towards the kitchen.

"Where are you going? It's galang!" Miss Rini wonder. He looked towards Thea who had followed. "What's wrong? Does Galang not like this food?" he murmured in the heart.

In the bathroom, Galang vomited all the food that had been swallowed. Cold sweat began to pour from his temples, not to mention, a reddish rash in some parts of his body spots began to feel hot and itchy.

"You okay? It's drink first, let's eat it."

Galang wiped his mouth with a tissue after washing it. He received a glass of water offered by Thea and gulped it down, only to be a little relieved.

"Why so long? Did you wait until I die, just given some water to drink?"

Thea movement that rubbed Galang's back stopped. Even though Galang could immediately say thank you. Than the indistinct anger. "Isa. Anyway, where are the dead given a drink! I want to say thanks just say it. Don't you take dong!"

Galang does not pierce. "Ahh .. so nauseous." He complained faintly, seeing Thea was behind him. He chose to bow his head over the woman's shoulders to momentarily suppress his nausea. "Supp my back again, The."

"Ck. Aye." Yeah." Thea complied and started rubbing her husband's back.

Galang smiled without Thea knowing. I don't know why he was so satisfied to make this woman upset. Because, it feels sure when his memory has not been lost. He is the one who is always in power. But now, he's going to turn that around.

"Didn't you hear? We go to the doctor, yes. Your body must be red-red right now" Thea asked.

Galang shook his head slowly. "No way."

"What's wrong? You sick again, hmh? Astagfirullah, this is your face until red like this. Tell me mom ... Why?" mrs Rini asked in a panic after arriving at the bathroom.

"Galang is allergic to garlic, Ma."

"What's? So, you're like this because you eat mama's cooking?" Miss Rini is shocked. "Mama call the doctor here, yeah. You wait a minute," said Miss Rini interrupting their words. He felt guilty again to Galang for not knowing this fatal thing. In fact, she was eager to make Galang believe that she could be a good mother.

A moment later, Ms. Rini again saw her son's face.

"sorry. Mama's always causing you trouble, Lang. You have a right to be angry now. But, mama promised it would be more-"

"What's wrong. I'll be fine ...."

Galang gave a thin smile seeing the middle-aged woman returning a relieved smile to him. He felt, even though his memory had not returned completely. But still the affection was not lost for the woman.

Although Galang insisted on refusing. He even felt as if he was hurting himself. And in the end, it hurt a lot of people. He doesn't want that to happen.

Galang was still smiling as his body warmed up again by Bu Rini's gentle strokes on his shoulder. It was as if his world had turned into a meadow and was showered with maple leaves from above the sky. It's exquisite.

He did not care when the pain began to drown him in the darkness. Because he had gained enough strength to withstand it. As long as he saw everyone smiling. It's better for him.

***

Thea settles down on the bed and pulls a thick blanket over her body and Galang. She saw that her husband had fallen into a deep sleep after the doctor came and gave her a cure for her allergies.

A reddish rash appears in some parts of the skin. It seems that Galang really does not respond well to substances contained in garlic. Until that reaction can be toxic to his body.

Thea never thought she would return to this old life. The same room, the same place, and the husband who used to always be his competitor while sleeping. In the past he was often pessimistic this will come back real, because the distance between them is too far as can not be reached.

But now they regroup despite different circumstances. Thea hoped that all the problems they faced would be resolved quickly.

Ddrt.

Thea. The sound of his vibrating play on the table beside the bed. He frowned, it turned out that the person who contacted was one of his friends in Makasar-Yasa Pradipta.

"Assalamu'alaikum, why, Sa?"

"Vaalaikumsalam. Where the hell are you going, The? Now the store again needs to know!"

Thea slightly distanced her gawai from the ears, the man spoke quite loudly.

"Why? Seriously it's like."

"Lo's shop was broken into by a burglar, The! Sure, you have to get back here. I don't want the same responsibility for money. You know better!"

"Well!"

Thea was aghast and immediately sat down, but she hurriedly held her voice in fear of interrupting Galang's rest. He was shocked not to hear the news. While there, there are two store employees who should be there.

"Seriously? How could it be?" thea asked a little whisper.

"One hundred rius! That's why you're going back to Makassar. Why else do you linger in Jakarta?"

"I-I'm again-"

"Thea's on her honeymoon. So don't bother us both."

"Huh? A honeymoon? This who? Answer, dong ^#*@/@/×€#*#£÷%@/#€."

Thea shock. Galang suddenly took over his dress and spoke at will. Yasa's voice was indistinctly angry at the call that was still connected. However, Galang rushed to disconnect it, he threw the device aside.

"Why did you turn off the phone, anyway? And why are you talking so richly like Yasa?" tanya Thea was angry. Though he has not decided anything about his shop with Yasa.

"Oh, so his name is Yasa. The name is ugly, definitely not much different from the person."

"Groof!" Thea was upset, she folded her arms around her chest. Seeing the man was just a mocking mangosteen. "Basic astral beings. It's amnesia, but the words are still from scratch. Innate from birth is very difficult to lose." Thea.

Galang himself was silent for a moment. He who was disturbed by the noise of Thea suddenly lost his drowsiness because the woman was talking to a man. His heart is broken, is he jealous? It seems he has felt this. But, he sure wasn't Yasa the one who ruined their household.

"Sleep again. Don't keep interrupting my break. Because of your voice, my ears hurt."

"Sleep, I don't want you to get sick thinking about your problems." That should have come out of Galang's mouth. But again his tongue sprained to say another.

Galang pulled back Thea's body to be next to him again. And Thea according to him. At least, being in Galang's embrace made him a little calmer. Like when they were together. This guy always gives comfort at all times.

"I tried so hard to build that shop from scratch. Until I finally succeeded and had new hope. So, I can't make this a problem, Lang. I have to go back to Makassar in one piece," said Thea.

"You want to leave me again?"

"No."

"Then go to sleep for the night. Because you're still with me now. Don't think about anything else."

"Basic. Since when have you become selfish?"

Galang just smiled thinly. Strengthen their embrace so that they never again feel how to lose for the second time. He knew Thea was faced with a problem. However, he would not let the woman face her own problems anymore.

From the moment he saw Thea for the first time. He was determined to protect the woman no matter what. Their separation was, of course, due to her failure as a protector to Thea. And he doesn't want it to happen again.
