Sunday morning, Bara squirmed when she heard her phone vibrate on the nightstand. Already several nights not sleeping in his room makes Bara like complacent rumbling his mattress. But can't bully the Sejah.
"Yes Mas?" sahut Bara when he saw Heru's name on the screen of his cellphone.
"Where are you? Come with me yuk, meet the investors. After the day I leave, I will pick you up. I was in the office with Bayu," said Mas Heru across the phone.
"Geez, it's Sunday. What are you doing in the office? I don't think I have a life. Kasian your wife and child" Bara said.
"We have a life. But you are the busiest. Though not married, there are no children. But keep busy, ah. A shower, we'll be there in an hour." Mas Heru ended his talk.
That Sunday the Sejah was supposed to go to work the afternoon. Bara plans to pick him up after work as a little surprise. But the woman's conversation with Tini yesterday was very suspicious. He felt he needed to find out about it.
"Find investors, meaning the clothes must be neat or relaxed?" bara muttered alone in front of his closet. A white towel wrapped around Bara's hips. It looks fine hair neatly arranged from the start of the navel and disappears behind the towel.
Finally after wearing a black body fit shirt with half-rolled arms and a light blue pair of jeans, Bara came out of the room.
Her hair was neatly combed back and it was likely that the neatness would last considering she wouldn't be wearing a helmet today.
"Where are you going?" asked Bu Yanti to her son that afternoon.
"Go ama mas Heru" Bara replied. His hands were busy chanting fried chicken on the table.
"Eat first" asked Bu Yanti.
"No need, Heru did not eat anything." Bara reached into the cell phone in his pants pocket.
"Hello? Okay I'm out," Bara replied. Heru had arrived in front of the house.
"Mom, I'm leaving." said Bara walking outside the dining room.
"Don't go home! Tomorrow has gone," exclaimed Bu Yanti telling her son.
"Yes-yes" said Bara before completely disappearing from his mother's sight.
A black SUV with the words HUMMER is parked in front of the fence. It's Heru's car, which means the guy's driving without a driver.
"Picked up in this car I feel invited to join the war," said Bara when entering and sitting next to Heru who was behind the wheel.
"Where's college? When's completion? If it's not finished you can't rise to the position of Ra, although sodara, I can't raise the position of your salary at will." Heru chuckled looking towards the pouting Bara.
"Good to see his grandson is not much. We stay for two who get along," said Bara turned to the back seat. "By Bay by the way! Don't be fooled," Bara said to Bayu who sat quietly in the back seat.
"Yes Mas.." - Sayu Bayu.
"Lecture is back. At the end of the year I will definitely be Bara Wirya M.I.Kom. Trus Mas can change another question if you meet me. I've also been asked that question constantly."
"Yes, I changed the question. When's marriage?" Heru laughed again.
"As soon as the S2 is finished. If it's easy to answer," Bara said.
"His candidate?" ask Heru.
"This candidate doesn't know, wants or doesn't."
"Don't Kangmas Bara care? Ordinary Kangmas Bara always makes girls curious because of his indifference." Heru mocked his cousin's sister with satisfaction.
"Udah Ah, continue to complain. Is this going to be long? I want to go somewhere" Bara said.
"Now also want to go when is the reverse. It's hard now to talk to you. Where the hell are you going? We're going to go with it. Curious where to go. I have no schedule today other than the investor's lunch," said Heru.
"Huh? Coming along? No ah, ngaco! No, I'm alone."
"No, I'm more curious if it's banned. Where the hell is it? You don't have a vehicle, I'm fine if you have to stop and wait for you."
"No need, I'm just going to the house. Before leaving tomorrow I'll see him for a minute."
"Your boyfriend?" ask Heru nyinyir.
"Bak Seized huh Mas? SPG yesterday?" ask Bayu from the back seat.
Bara turned his seat to look cynically at Bayu. When talking about education there is no advice from his junior, but the turn about women, his mouth is very fast chiming. It is called SPG.
"Your boyfriend? SPG what Ra? Isn't it Joana's date that lecturer?" ask Heru.
"Not going out with Joana, who said. Yes, SPG my girlfriend. He said he was dating. But it's so cute. Ordinary girl if she is told she will be left a week like messing around. It's like a normal thing. I'm sure I won't be coming today, he's. So I'm the one who's curious back."
"Curried me. You can come along, you want to stop by or long there? If kos-kosan must be a lot of girls." Heru laughed again. The man had already imagined what his cousin's sister was doing there.
"Don't come, I just stopped by. Not long, just want to know he's doing again. I have not answered the phone from earlier. Kinda sniffed me. I don't think I'm important" Bara said. The car they were riding in had arrived at an expensive cafe in the main area of the city.
The lunch and chat with the two investors lasted quite a long time. Bara was swept away from topics of conversation that mostly revolved around the world of journalism. Both investors were journalists and humanitarian activists.
"You're horrified what did we screw Ra over?" mas Heru asked as they left the cafe and were back in the car.
"Which one? Many are chitzed," said Bara.
"Smart looking in a piece of writing is easy. The hard thing is to make people smart for reading our writing."
"Oh that, yes really. I read so much" added Bara.
"As journalists, we should not think of ourselves as smarter than others without realizing that our readers can be smarter than us. Giving information, without patronizing. That's the point." Mas Heru drove his car in the direction Bara had told him.
"Ready understood Mas.." Bara said.
"Can I come down, please? If you know you can meet Mbak Dijah yesterday," said Bayu suddenly.
"Don't ah... Nobody come down. You guys are in the car. I'll just be a minute" Bara replied.
"Can't get in the car, Ra?" ask Mas Heru when he pulled his car outside the mouth of the alley.
"Can't, it's just here. I'm the one who came down." The car opened the door and jumped down.
"I want to come," said Heru turned off his car engine.
"Seriously dong ah! No!" Bara slammed the door and ran into the alley. He really can't wait to meet Dijah. To where the woman was to the point that dozens of her phone calls were ignored.
Shortly after arriving at the boarding gate Bara's gaze was fixed on the crowd who were like watching a cockfight gambling.
"Welded! Colored! Colored!" the cheers that shouted the name of Sejah made Bara like electrocuted. He immediately ran into the crowd.
Although Ketus Sejah seems calm. She did not appear to be a ferocious woman ready to slaughter.
"BATCHED!!!" shouting Bara. He ran up to Dijah and wrapped his hands around the woman's waist. Like lifting a baby who is learning to crawl. Fortunately, the weight of the woman was no more than 50 kilograms. That's why last night Bara easily carried the Sejah.
The situation of the colonized is very chaotic. I felt he was coming at the right time. He could not imagine that the colonists had successfully injured his opponent and caused a report to the police station.
"God.... Whatisthis?? Some are fighting even around! Disperse all! Disperse!" shouted Bara with an annoyed face. He could not understand how everyone could only cheer each other to see two humans fighting and injuring each other.
"I just said I can't come today, but you're a fan of this. I'm leaving, still here. You're battered like this again." Bara stared in annoyance at Dijah who had turned to look at him.
"He didn't come." said Dijah slowly. Bara stared at the sweet face that was falling apart in front of her.
Bara rubbed the face of Dijah who was covered in dust like flour. Her hair was tangled and sticking out here and there. Many times Bara clucked while confirming the location of her lover's clothes.
"I didn't come, can you have a duel?" ask Bara. He looked back at the eyes that had softened. Colored bent his face like a boy caught in a fight at school.
Realizing something, Bara then looked behind him. Heru and Bayu were standing and grimacingly looking at him and Seized alternately.
Two humans are wayward, Bara thought. Being colonized must have nagged him for bringing two strangers there.
"Who is Mas Bara?" tanya Tini whose condition seems more ambiguous.
"Huh? That's my cousin Heru mas and Bayu temen my office. Don't talk weird, Tin." said Bara a little worried. He was indeed worried about the absurd words that Tini often made.
"That's Heru my cousin's brother... It means I want to know. But I think I was wrong on time" Bara whispered.
"Mas Heru's wearing Mas's beer shirt?" ask Tini again.
"Yes." answered Bara without looking.
"That's the new Gatot Glass figure in real life... Dashing tenan," muttered Tini.
"This must be the result of the mission Tini invited, right?" ask Bara on Colonized. Feeling her name called, Tini grimaced at Bara.
"You've had a lot of blisters. Go to the doctor, yuk," invite Bara.
"Gini wounds can heal on their own. Far from life!" said Dijah rubbed his slightly bloody elbow.
"Don't believe it's being colonized, it's gonna hurt." Bara tidied up the hair Colored in a hurry. Indeed, Heru had already arrived there, but at least he could improve the look of the Sejah to be more humane.
"Yes already-yes already, please disperse huh. What you want to see is done. Return to their rooms. Thank you.." said Heru waved and nodded at some people who were still gathered staring at Dijah who snatched his girlfriend was struggling. Maybe the audience was hoping to get another treat from Dijah who had a fight with his girlfriend.
Bara turned to Heru who was approaching towards them.
"I look like the father of kos-kosan?" tanya Mas Heru chuckled.
"That's his voice. It's so sweet when I just talk. But I hear it like a song," said Tini.
"Guus!" sergeant Bara clenched her teeth staring at Tini.
"Heru's Mas looks mature, Mas Bara." said Tini.
"Dijah belain you because your girlfriend now has been glancing at Mas Heru. Don't make the sacrifice of the Colonized in vain, Tin... Lagian mas Heru already has his wife's child," whispered Bara as she glanced at Heru who pulled a plastic chair and sat by the window of Tini's room with his leisure.
"I'm just voicing my heart... Love is not like ironing that needs a reason."
"It's ironing you have to wear a base!" ketus Bara was upset because he served Tini's words. "Mending you ngaca first there, see how you look before the charm spread." Bara finally laughed at seeing Tini's look.
"Mas, know this is my girlfriend. His name is Dijah," said Bara holding Dijah to near Heru.
"Still his young girlfriend Bara," said Heru extending his hand. "Still going to college is that why work is SPG too?" ask Heru to make small talk.
Dijah welcomed a helping hand of Heru mas while turning to Bara who gave a small nod to him.
"Not going to college, just SPG." Bara again pulled Sejah closer to him.
"Yes, if you want to go back first it's okay. I'm a maleman back," said Bara.
"Well!" peekik Tini's. "We're late for work today" Tini said staring at her phone. "We must hurry up!"
"Do not work." murmured Bara. "Can't go to work today" added Bara again.
"Much possessive Kangmas Bara," said Heru.
"Yes back there," Bara once again drove to his cousin.
"Mbak Tini.." said Bayu who had been ignored since.
"Who is it?" tini asked arrogantly.
"I'm Bayu, Mas Bara's junior in the office." Bayu extended his hand to Tini.
"Hmmm.." said Tini justifies the location of his hair that is neat. Bayu was smiling kindly at him at this moment. This made Tini's view quickly move from Heru to Bayu.
"Yo wes Jah, dino iki awamke dewe ra sah mlebu. Ngko easy heri not remed'e sepisan meneh ben ora nesu (Yes already Jah, we do not need to enter today. It will be easy for Heri I squeeze once again so as not to be angry)" Tini told Dijah. He looked back at the woman suspiciously.
"Important kowe sing ngremed yo, I ra popo (Originally you are crumpled, I'm okay)" replied Dijah.
"Kowe ngremed nggone mas-mu sek curious kuwi wae jah,ben ndekne anteng (You squeeze your curious mas aja Jah! Let him calm down!)" Tini chuckled at the sight of Colored.
"Your eyes!" sergeant Colonized on the increasingly broken Tini.
"What the hell is that?" ask Bara with a stale face.
Heru who was listening to the conversation laughed out loud while punching Bara's arm that was standing not far from him.
"What are they talking about?" ask Bara to Heru.
"Eh Mas Heru understands?" ask Tini to Heru.
"Jago squeezes yes Ma'amnya.." insinuated Heru on Tini again laugh.
"Modar Jah.." whispered Tini to Colored.
