About Love and the Ocean

Candor

Andrew and Anjani, following Reia who stepped inside the restaurant. Reia looked around and chose the last seat. After they sat down, a waiter brought a menu book.

Reia picked out a few menus there. Having understood Andrew's taste, Reia ordered two servings and offered Anjani. Anjani chose his own menu.

----------------------------------------

Finished eating the three of them back to discuss their vacation plans.

"Jani, are you going alone? Don't you want to bring a rowdy couple? Hehehe,," Reia mocked Anjani with her laugh. Anjani moved her mouth. " You have a partner." Reply Anjani.

" Want me to match, my friend will be a lot. " Andrew Ledek. " Kaya Siti Nurbaya Aja in jodoh-joduin. " Anjani smiled understanding the direction of their jokes.

" I'm going to the toilet first, right? " Anjani got up from her seat and walked to the toilet. " I also peed kebelet. Waita... " Reia ran after Jani who had walked away.

Andrew went to the cashier to pay the proffered bill.

After they got out of the toilet and went back to sit Andrew alternated his way to the men's toilet. " I want to go to the toilet too. " Andrew immediately walked to the toilet.

Reia was about to pay to the cashier but by the cashier was shown proof had been paid. Then get back to his desk. "Thank you Reia." Anjani Sahut.

"Same - same. " Reia developed her smile.

Anjani ordered a taxi online. They were soon out of the restaurant.

Andrew who had just come out of the toilet had not seen them in the first place. Straight out of the restaurant.

Reia and Andrew were going to drive Anjani home. But Anjani still wants to go somewhere else.

" Are you sure you don't want me anther? " Push Reia to Anjani. But after Reia saw the taxi that Anjani ordered had already come.

" Look down, I'm used to going anywhere by myself. Give my regards to Andrew. " Anjani got into the taxi.

Reia waved at Anjani who was already in the taxi. Andrew, who had just returned from the bathroom, approached Reia.

" Anjani's on her way? " Look Reia looking at a taxi. " Already, the taxi." Aiming his chin to point at the taxi Anjani was riding earlier.

Reia drives her car away from the place followed by Andrew's car.

Before long, Anjani arrives at the slum. Places that Anjani often visit. Some time ago, after Mama died Anjani did not go to that place for a very long time.

There Anjani distributed cakes and some books and stationery that he had bought before arriving there.

About twelve children lined up neatly to get bread as well as books and stationery from Anjani.

"Thank you, Anjani." Serempak the children thanked Anjani. They're so happy. And playing with other friends.

Ms. Welas who had gathered the children out brought a cup of warm tea and some cakes for Anjani.

After sharing everything, Bu Welas approached Anjani. " It's her tea. It'll be cold. It's also a little cake please taste".

Bu Welas put a small plate containing several pieces of layer cake.

Anjani lowered his head for a moment and then sipped the tea made by Bu Welas until it ran out. " Thank you, Miss." Anjani's smile floated.

" Thank you Miss Anjani, may Miss always be in the protection of God. And abundant sustenance. Ms. Welas cannot repay Miss Anjani's kindness. Just a sincere prayer. " I don't feel the sentence Bu Welas make both corners of Anjani's eyes dripping clear liquid.

Anjani hugged Bu Welas. He was a little above Anjani's father. Bu Welas was a widow, her late husband a soldier died while serving in Bosnia. His son was also a soldier when Papua was in emergency.

And to this day it has not returned. Since then Bu Welas lives from the husband's pension and government compensation because his son has not returned.

Since then Bu Welas decided to finance some disadvantaged children to continue school in the slum and live there. To be closer to them.

Not infrequently every Sunday, Ms. Welas cook more than usual days for children there.

Reia ~ Already home?

Anjani ~ Not yet, any minute.

Reia ~ Okay. Heart - heart on the road.

Anjani ~ Okay.

Anjani reinserted her phone. And talk to the kids. After they were busy chatting and joking with the children. Anjani pamit to go home. It was afternoon then.

They seem to be waving their hands. Within seconds, the taxi that Anjani was riding in had already disappeared from sight.

-----------------------------------

Reia and Andrew's car is parked in Reia's yard. They were joking and laughing in the living room.

Both of Reia's parents were busy people. So the house looks deserted. There was only Bi Sumi who had worked for many years in that house.

" Your friend is hard to melt his heart. I mean, let him not be lonely and we can double date. Because if he's alone and wants to be with us. Maybe he's upset. " Andrew looked at Reia.

Reia, "Yes, I know too. But let him decide for himself. I don't want to interfere too much with his affairs. I'm also not good if he's offended we discussed it. "

" I want to know him as my best friend. What do you think? " Andrew planned this a long time ago. But at that time Mama Anjani had just died so Andrew paused his intention.

" who? " Reia was curious. " Bayu Samudera, she's my best friend since High School after graduating she's in college and now works in America. Next week he comes home and comes with us for the holidays. You ain't papa, are you, baby? " Andre stroked Reia's hair.

Reia, "I don't know Bayu. And you never told me about him. " Andrew smiled, "He rarely comes home. Nine months working on a cruise ship and only two months off on land. "

" I want to make sure Anjani is the right girl for Bayu. I dare to introduce him. About how Bayu, I'll introduce him to you. You can see for yourself how he will be "Advanced Andrew.

" Okay, don't haphazardly know people to my best friend huh? Why later - napa, we're not good. And finally our friendship is at stake. "

"Oiya I'd like to ask Anjani for a moment. Has he reached his home. For a moment "Without waiting for Andrew's answer, Reia pulled out her phone.

Reia ~ Already home?

Anjani ~ Not yet, any minute.

Reia ~ Okay. Heart - heart on the road.

Anjani ~ Okay.

" He hasn't come home yet. Definitely there. " Reia guessing - nebak.

" This is a picture of Bayu if you want to see. " Andrew showed me his cell phone.

" Legid, handsome too. " Tempta Reia while glancing at Andrew. " This is for Anjani, right? " An Andrew answered her two eyebrows.

Reia laughed, "Yes I know hahahaha... You are still in my heart. " Roe hugged Andrew.

Andrew pinched Reia's nose, "Gombal is really you. "
