A Friend in Waiting

BIAN

Throughout the journey that happened only in silence, I only chose silence because I also had just met her for the first time, if I describe her figure, she was quite handsome, taller than faris, he said,only he's thinner, than the first assessment of his people is quite friendly in my opinion.

The journey did not take long, only about 10 minutes I was in front of the house tota, Tiny house is quite comfortable, in front it looks a bit messy with the tools of the welding workshop, the,what I know then if Tita's husband named mas Duloh turned out to open a welding workshop that received orders for making canopies, iron carving baskets etc...when I saw that he was waiting for me at the door with his cheerful smile, not much had changed, he was still a cheerful, chatty tita and well a little lebay hihi,,,with his frenzy he approached me like a happy little boy meeting his playmates, I could only smile and shake my head at his unchanging behavior despite being married.

Tita took me into her comfortable home, and immediately offered me something to drink, I didn't want to bother her so I just asked for a glass of water,then tita went straight to the kitchen to get water and I saw there was a snack too that she brought, Tita immediately sat next to me and with her fixed style lebay immediately hugged me and said kangen, kangen,indeed long enough we did not meet there may be 3thun since we both graduated from High School, husbandami not long ago came to say hello,mas Duloh turned out to be 6 years older than tita so that his care is indeed mature, looks patient and friendly,after saying hello because there is still a lot of work he chose a goodbye to return to work, we women to continue chatting in memory of the past school days, or even discussing trivial things or sometimes unimportant things,understand the name is also female if you have gossiped like to forget the time 😊

Satisfied chatting, Tita invites me to just shop to the market that is quite close to her home, certainly not the usual traditional market, but,more precisely the market that blends with the shops needs of women who will certainly make every woman feel at home for a long time to get around, we walked here like young people who are spending time to please themselves,the status of married tita does not hinder our activities, because Duloh mas actually supports and understands his wife, how lucky we are to get a husband who is so patient mature and understanding.

Almost every store we stopped by, sometimes just to look around, until we decided to buy a couple top, weird indeed desire temen that one, but I do not mind it, continued by buying ice cream, ice cream,and his other snacks, feel back to the fun and carefree school period2🤭🤭

After traveling around long enough we decided to go home immediately, however understanding mas Duloh, tita still should not forget his main task as a wife, arriving at home, tita and I did not then go back to relax, tita,but we went straight into the kitchen to cook, because it happened to be about to have lunch, because tita forced me to ask to come cook lunch, of course as a guest who wanted to come to eat for free just sat on my hands,of course I willingly offer help, I happen to have also started learning to cook a variety of simple dishes, cooking shows do feel more fun because there is a help and also while still chatting casually...

Before long duloh mas and Bian came after washing hands, eating events were immediately started of course with in the beginning do'a first, we all eat calmly, we all eat calmly,but while eating I felt that there were eyes that often steal the view, when I lift my head, I accidentally met a look with Bian who turned out to be a coincidence that indeed stole a look at me,for a moment there's a sense of awkwardness between me and Bian,I had a glance at tita and duloh mas but it seemed they did not realize what was happening and remained focused on eating.I quickly returned to lower my head and continued eating.The meal was over,me and Tita cleaned the cutlery and washed it, while the men came back to smoke either to rest for a while before continuing to work.

Because it was getting late in the afternoon, I decided to say goodbye, we had forced me to stay overnight with the reason still missing, but I felt bad to stay, even though mas Duloh also suggested to stay, but I did not feel good to stay,but still I refuse another reason also because tomorrow I have to go back to work in the morning,it was troublesome to have to go to work from home tita which in fact was a considerable distance from my workplace.with a heavy heart not allow me to go home, on condition that I have to play often to his house again, with a heavy heart to allow me to go home,I quickly agreed, so if I have free time there is nothing wrong with playing again to the house tita, because during the holidays I do not have many activities, relatives home away from work, home away from work,as for returning home, a day off will never be enough, for a trip back and forth only takes one day, where there is time to just chat with loved ones.

As the thing came, even home I was still in between Bian riding a motorbike until the bus terminal, but different from the time it came, now Bian first started the conversation "Ra, why not just?instead of going home, this is also late in the afternoon" I smiled and replied "tomorrow work morning, kalo nginep kinda bothered to leave, not too late until work" what I did not expect Bian's answer was a bit unexpected, he said "i want to ko nganter you care if tomorrow to go to work until the destination safely, so now I still have work, I still have work,so I can't help you with your goal" after a moment of confusion I just returned with a smile, because I don't know what to answer, maybe I should be honest, maybe,if I don't feel good to ask for help from people who just know, really don't want to be a troublesome woman.

Arriving at the bus terminal, Bian did not leave immediately, but waited until I got on the bus safely, when I wanted to take the bus, he also said "be careful Ra on his way, Ra,pretty girl the danger of traveling alone"he said that with a smile, I can only be a prankster, between awkward or embarrassed at such a tease, all I do is answer by nodding with a smile.

When the bus started to run I saw Bian immediately put on his motorbike to return to the house, I rested my body on the bus seat,trying to enjoy the trip back to the small boarding house that I had been living during working in this overseas.when my eyes closed suddenly a name of a person who had just passed crossed my mind Bian Sailendra the name of the man I just met today....
