ACUTE JOMBLO
THE ACUTE JOMBLO 16
Arini walked in half running into the parlour. He was looking for the figure of Bu Ratih who was busy breaking long beans that would be ready to be dioseng for lunch menu later.
He repeatedly rubbed the corners of his eyes and cheeks that were wet because of the tears that continuously shed without stopping. ”Bu,” exciting Arini. Madam Ratih turned her head and found Arini's eyes reddened from crying.
Arini was immediately splashed in the hug of Ratih Bu. As a mother to her children, Mrs Ratih reached out her hand rubbing Arini's back which slightly shook. ”What's up, son? Hm? The same story mom,” said Bu Ratih increasingly make Arini's crying becomes more and more.
Arini didn't know where to start. Madam Ratih stretched her arms and then rubbed both wet cheeks of Arini with her hands that had started to wrinkle.
”Ma-mas E-elang bu,” his murmur sobbing.
”Yes, Eagle why son? Hm?” asked Madam Ratih softly.
”Mas Eagle gay bu,”
Madam Ratih was silent for a moment hearing Arini's words. He knew that his father was also gay and married to his gay partner. Fruits fall not far from the tree and the saying is true.
Mrs Ratih smiled. As a mother she never once forced her children to choose. The task of a mother is to educate the child on the right path, the rest of the child chooses.
Arini wondered why Madam Ratih smiled as if she was not affected at all by what she said just now. ”Mother isn't angry?” tanya Arini now her stuffing began to subside.
”Nak, I hope you will never hate Eagle.” said Bu Ratih advising while holding Arini's hands. Madam Ratih is afraid that Arini will do something that is not done because of dark eyes.
“Mom know that Mas Eagle is gay?” ask Arini to make sure. Mrs Ratih just smiled as she stroked the sweet mane of Arini's soft and shiny hair.
”Mom know all the things that are in the mother's children, son.”
”Mother is not angry? Disgust?”
”Why be disgusted? Eagle and you are all sons mother.”
”But..,”
”As long as the Eagle does not harm others the mother will never interfere with her decision. So, I hope you are also so Arini.”
Mrs Ratih also invited Arini to come out for a while. Both of them stood at the door. ”See,” cetus Bu Ratih asked Arini to see the scenery in front of him at this time. Yes, there Eagle smiled happily as if without burden while playing with children. What part of her looks disgusting, except the fact of her sexual orientation?
The answer doesn't exist. Until now Eagle has always contributed to the development of the orphanage he lives in. Not only donating some money, he even jumped directly to volunteer and devote his life here.
That smile was full of happiness, who would hurt him? So what should Arini do? Take it for granted or what? I don't know. He himself does not know.
Fendy sat on the sofa sighing long after she was exhausted after working all day. Yeah, he just got home from the office. ”Yank?” he did not find his wife welcome his return as usual.
”Honey, do not mengumpet deh tar mas eat nih.” Goda Fendy. He knew Dian was hiding himself somewhere. It did not take long Dian who gathered behind the kitchen cabinet was immediately standing up to Fendy with a face that grunted sourly.
”Why else yank? Hm?” asked Fendy while removing the buttons of his shirt that part of the wrist and release the tie that felt suffocating from earlier.
Dian was swinging her lips exactly like a child. Fendy nodded at his wife's sometimes more childish behavior than Ray's. As usual, Dian was willing. If this is the case, usually Fendy will always be accused of insensitivity.
”Mas, can not the work be reduced? Kan mas have si tuh si anu duh forget again his name, anyway people trust mas is the point.”
”Trus?”
”Yes anyway mas should spare time for me.”
”Lah? Didn't I come home at 2pm? Means that I have already handled the time for the family yank.”
”Iya tau mas tau. But, just aja.”
”Tetep how?”
”Au ah base not sensitive.”
Fendy patted his head against his wife's absurd behavior. See it? Are not men always wrong and insensitive? How Fendy can find out what the wife means if Dian only play codes, where Fendy understands the problem of wife codes except financial codes. 'HEHEHE' his inner self laughed wickedly.
”Yes, wrong mas, sorry dear. Well, now what do you want? A car? Apartment?” the original Fendy Cetus with his sinless face while blinking his eyes a few times. Oh no, Dian's head is smoky and now the smoke is soaring. Fendy must be ready to listen to the spiritual flush of the wife in a moment.
”DIAN WANTS A HOLIDAY! A VACATION! SEE TUH RAY SAMA WIRA DELICIOUS HOLIDAY TO CIWIDEY. THOSE WHO ARE NOT MARRIED ARE ON VACATION TOGETHER. WHEN WE HAVE A BIG CHILD NOT ON VACATION TOO MAS?”
Fendy nodded in understanding, apparently his wife envied seeing his only child who was busy vacationing in Ciwidey. He admitted that holiday activities like Dian said just now can be counted with fingers.
”Dek, if mas dateng yo welcomed to deck do not pout the cake.” now Fendy little changed to serious mode. Dian noticed Fendy's rather serious change in tone of voice and immediately apologized.
”Iya yes sorry,” says Dian a little lethargic. Fendy also took his wife in his arms. He kissed his wife's face to make Dian sebal at once amused.
”Let's set the schedule first? We go to Ciwidey, ok?” said Fendy make Dian's eyes sparkle happy. Dian hugged Fendy and kissed her lips.

”Be careful,” exclaimed Wira warned Ray to walk carefully because the road looks so slippery after Ciwidey was drenched in heavy rain some time ago.
Next he and Ray headed to the Star Garden where from the top of the star-shaped flatfon, they could see the view of Ciwidey which was full of tea plantations from there. Several times Ray almost slipped but Wira swiftly grabbed his wrist.
”Uwaaaaaa,” says Ray amazed. Ray did not expect that there is a view as beautiful as this in Bandung, even though he had lived long enough in Bandung. Behind Wira smiled looking at Ray who was so excited and enthusiastic.
Suddenly Ray's phone rings a sign of an incoming video call. ”Shit!” he said when he saw the name listed is 'Prima'. The video call came at an inopportune time. ”Why?” ask Wira when she found Ray who was a little surprised and misbehaved.
”Ng-no om,” replied Ray like hiding something.
”Lift aja,” said Wira then Ray also pulled the video call icon to the top by force.
”SWAAAADWIIIISSS BEROOOOOOOOOO,” cried hysterical Prima across there. Ray forgot he had a little friend. Ray had to keep his phone away because of the terrible sound like a Prima-style toa.
There also appears to be Angga and Yuda. The atmosphere became silent for a moment as their eyes seemed to look at something right behind Ray. Holy hooch! Apparently Angga, Prima, and Yuda were in focus on seeing Wira who was engrossed in shooting the scene with a mobile phone behind her.
”Wah wah wah so this is your activity not school and you are even fun dating huh!?” pekik Prima with contrived bulging eyes.
”Rese lu.” replied Ray lazily.
”Selamet ya Ray finally lo not single again, I honestly aja heartache lo no nafsuan see oppai scattered, maybe you like my cake bars?” angga frontal.
”WILL!” yay Ray is upset.
”Ray her mouth,” scolds Wira who increasingly makes Ray upset.
”Udah ah I matiin yes bye,” before Ray actually press the red-colored icon to end the video call, suddenly Prima yells, ”OM OM OM OM!” that's how Prima shouted that he deliberately did to attract the attention of the Hero.
The hero who was engrossed in taking pictures here and there also turned his attention to Ray's cellphone screen. The hero goes along to greet Ray's friends who are greeted enthusiastically by them.
”Mafin Ray yes if you say sometimes like not filtered first,” said Wira smiled. Ray did not like it either. What the fuck is this Hero? Indirectly he said that Ray is a person who likes to talk not filtered first.
The look on Ray's face instantly turned sour. Across the street, Angga, Prima, and Judah giggled at Ray's sour face. ”Om how does it feel?” ask Angga ambiguously.
”What?” ask the Hero back.
”That's anu hehehe ahem ahem gitu,” said Angga.
”Hahaha asked Raynya try wkwkwkwk,” said Wira.
”Aaan si ah there rese really deh,” sahut Ray began to be upset.
”Jiyaaaaah there is a craving,” said Prima.
”Om om ama Raynya slowly yah! Kasian tuh child is already a karatan singles, can tereak tereak him if the first time mah wkwkwk hahahaha,” this time Prima's voice laughed out loud.
The hero followed up laughing while the one who laughed at his face was already acutely sour. Ray pressed the red icon roughly. He walked downstairs while stomping his feet. Along the way he grumbled resentfully condemning the behavior of his friends and Wira who continued to corner him.
”Dek,” suddenly Wira called him 'deck' which somehow sounds very laughable. Please drown Wira at this time too which has made Ray quite ilfeel. Ray grimaced with amusement.
”WHAT'S SI AH CALL ME DAK DEK DAK DEK ALL! I'M RAY NOT THE DECK! DISGUST TAU!” maki Ray was annoyed with a face that was flushed red. The hero fell silent when he saw the glint of Ray's eyes that clearly described his extreme anger.
”DAN LO MUST INGET ME NOT HOMO JERK KEK LO!” once again the Hero swallowed his rough saliva. His tongue was dumb when he heard Ray saying he was gay. The glint of hateful eyes and disgust made his heart ache a little.
At exactly 11pm the hero decided to return home. Along the way there were no meaningful conversations between the two as they were both silent to each other without taking out a word.
