Kosan Bodas, Bandung, 1999 - Al Kahfi Land, Depok, 2004
"Jam sabraha, Kang?" ask Uge.
"New hour of ointment passing, aya naon Den Uge?" asked Kang Ujang, the keeper of Kosan Bodas who had just come out of the living room with a large pendulum clock.
"Nteu Kang, if it's almost sapuluh hour, ingetin urang nyak," Uge pinta as he strummed the guitar among the horrified boarding children in the living room.
"Beres Den Uge, saha nu hayang coffee?" ask Kang Ujang to the children.
"Jang, you make a lot of adjutations on kettles! It must be finished it," said Bang Ucok while chewing the hammer of the Uge tract.
Bang Ucok is the most senior cost resident, the nephew of the cost owner. Everyday he worked as a personal assistant of a bule businessman, his wallet was thick but the top was like sewn, so that the palak in the boarding difficult to break into it, if so, the proposal for procurement of martabak is always submitted to Uge.
"Uge, why does it seem to wonder about the clock, want to betelor again you?" bang Ucok asked while laughing chuckling with a very low note.
Uge did not reply, he smiled and continued strumming the guitar.
"Here I am, Ge. It's good to hear you play guitar, like on a five-star lapo, hehehe," pinta Bang Ucok while rolling the tip of the shirt up, hehehe, until his distended stomach was exposed to a poor spy who accidentally saw him.
"Eee guys, who plays trump? Ha..? Ha..?" bang Ucok asked, taking playing cards and looking at his friends one by one.
"Cannot bang, remi aja," said Wawan, he also studied at ITB.
"Well, tired of playing rummy, no pande maen trump kelen?" bang Ucok asked while twisting the fur on his stomach. All shook their heads while keeping the view from the unbeautiful scenery displayed by Bang Ucok.
^Weighing I guess, well slash, remi was so, Omen, shuffle the cards! Play you Ge?" ask Bang Ucok to Uge.
Omen and his two friends were interested in approaching to play cards.
"Not like to play Bang cards," replied Uge still cool playing guitar.
"Well, don't play with our money, no shit, if yes, at least, want a brother to bear? Hehehe," teased Bang Ucok, again Uge just a smile, just a smile,
Bang Ucok's face increasingly looks ignorant, he shifted closer, then held Uge's shoulders while kneeling small gives psychological pressure, "what kind of time, Ustad's fir, just a moment?" rayu Bang Ucok, Uge shook his head.
Out of curiosity, Bang ucok further sharpened his attacks, "Well, drink no, play cards no, play girls no, monotonous times of life you kind of paint color Kosan Bodas," ledekan Bang Ucok makes children laugh.
"Ngetawain Uge aja kelen, hehehe. But the quiet ones like this, usually more horrified, there's a girl on campus, Wan?" bang Ucok asked while winking one eye at Wawan.
"It seems there is no whole Bang," replied Wawan while grinning.
"Haaa... That is! Said the ITB boy, architectural engineeringrrrrr... But it's not lakuuu HUAHAHA." There was an explosion of laughter from the boarding children, more precisely the laughter of opportunist style so that the reproach ball only headed one direction or did not roll wildly towards them.
Shot straight away, Uge remained relaxed. Because it did not also succeed in provoking Uge's response, Bang Ucok tried a more persuasive way.
"Ge, you look at the Omen!" Bang Ucok pointed at Omen by advancing his jaw, Omen remained concentrated on distributing cards.
"The nose is sunken like a spoon, the lecture is not clear where."
"Telkom Bang." Omen replied with a serious mimic and a slightly gaping mouth.
"Italianaah... ItB, now Telkom, Harvard tomorrow you say, hahaha!.... Pshaw! Engineering school he said, whether climbing techniques or delirious techniques, it's not clear what time you are, Men!" bang Ucok made the kids laugh.
"Eh, how come you laugh? Later dulauuu... Precisely Si Omen is the most patent, fencing Telkom children, visited girls continue, sometimes two, sometimes three, chomped, it's new patent men!" praise Bang Ucok for making Omen look proud.
"Sstt. when because it is easy to be told to make the task, hehehe." Bang Ucok said as if whispering to other children, the laughter of the children was heard again, including Omen.
Bang Ucok glanced at Uge again, his face getting more and more ignorant, "but you still like girls right, Ge? Bah, cringe at the same brother Uge! You have a crush on your brother, HAHAHA." The kids laughed harder.
Finally Uge put down his guitar, the children holding back laughter waiting for Uge's counterattack. Bang Ucok chuckled and blinked one eye at the children.
"Bang, someone's sending greetings," it's time for Uge to speak up.
"Ahhh regular ituuu... Kind of not familiar with this handsome brother of yours," Bang Ucok poked at Wawan as if underestimating Uge's information.
"From Lala," said Uge.
The name called Uge was apparently important to Bang Ucok, he could not underestimate this information.
"Ahh right are you? What say?" bang Ucok asked, when seriously his face changed, his eyes narrowed, his mouth getting gaping as his jaw was pulled down.
"Bang Ucok said it was a loving guy but...... Peel." said Uge.
"How many times have you told me, but you said you were just, lying, not afraid of sin?" bang Ucok asked, he was actually curious but did not want to be bullied, seen from his serious face, his ignorant expression was gone.
"It is a sin to lie" replied Uge with an indifferent face. Bang Ucok was getting curious, Uge wanted to grab a guitar, but Bang Ucok held Uge's hand.
"Pelit said? What is clear, what do you say?" Bang Ucok does have a heavy crush on Lala, a beautiful hotel woman, she also snekos here.
"Yes that Bang, I immediately asked, stingy why? But the answer is not connected, said Lala, Bang Ucok flirtatious, likes to choke, really that's bang?" ask Uge.
"Alamaak, I don't know who's lying, what are you, Lala? How dare I? Can be slapped by me," said Bang Ucok.
"Nebelieve? Don't need to be followed, right?" Uge seemed like he wanted to get up, but Bang Ucok's hand quickly held Uge's embrace to stay in position and not leave.
"Astaghtirlah... My righteous Mr. Ustad, just joking this brother, know that this time brother, it is impossible that my brother is lying," Bang Ucok rayu.
After Bang Ucok was sure Uge did not move, he smiled proudly, showing off his arrogant face to the children. "HEY guys listen up! Your brother never bothered Lala, but I don't know where to go? It turned out that it was so bad that he told people, apparently wishing I was cute Lala, HUAHAHA" Bang Ucok laughed while taking the martabak, "what else did he say, Mr Ustad?"
"Lala said, I really don't have a problem, if Bang Ucok likes my flirtatiousness, because I like Bang Ucok, too," continued Uge.
"Ooo maaang doesn't matter he said? How do I know if he likes me? Every time I rebuke, like a lion does not eat three years of his face. Hahaha, fiercely times she is the same as me. Uh but really not your story?" tanya Bang Ucok hesitated.
"Not believing, right? I just went in the room" threatened Uge again.
"Well, don't you like sulking Ganteeeng," Bang Ucok held down while twitching Uge's shoulder in friendship.
"Continue Bang?" ask Uge.
"Yes laaaaaaaaah, let these lontongs know who his brother is," pointed Bang Ucok to the children.
"Emang Lala is fierce, is it the same Bang Ucok?" ask Uge.
"Caperrrrrrrr, sooooooooo!" Reply Bang Ucok pongah.
If Lala said anyway, he hurt the same Bang Ucok," continued Uge.
"Alamak Jaaang, heartache he said? Ha... hear that lontong-lontong? The prospective wife of the brother seems jealous, surely thought your brother is a lot of times his girl. Uge, why don't you say, girls who often chase brother, just a friend thatuu? What else did he say?" ask Bang Ucok.
"Keep Bang, I'm telling you everything here?" ask Uge.
"BAHH, there is no need for secrets, the whole world already knows, brother kelen is pleiyboooiiiy. What does he say?" ask Bang Ucok.
"Say, Bang ucok likes to poke, but Lala's turn to ask for a cigarette Samsu Bang Ucok, cook a bar not loved, stingy," continued Uge.
"Well cigarette? I've never seen Lala kosan we're smoking, Samsu pulak, kaliiii horror!" bang Ucok.
"Emang is not Lala who costs here Bang," said Uge.
"Huh?" Bang Ucok thought for a moment, now he knew who the creature was told.
"monKEY you! There you! Keep it in the room!" Bang Ucok went berserk and pelted Uge with a card, Uge instantly drifted away while continuing his truncated story.
"Yes, that keker Lala Bang, who at night ngamen be a girl, but if the afternoon help my project, stir cement the same sand. I swear not to lie, he said that Bang, HAHAHA," Uge said while gasping into his room.
This time the children's laughter sounded more jarring, there was even a stomach ache and tears, except for Omen, he looked still thinking hard.
"Ooooh Lala's! The Latip? That prickly ass that you dandy also Bang?" ask plain omen.
"Eh mukak spoon, believe the same time you are a self-styled ustad, it is a lie of his work, so he ran away," Tangkis Bang Ucok tried to restore his lost authority.
The children laugh more, they are no longer able to hear the explanation Bang Ucok.
"Waaaah aya naon? Euy rame! Coffee, Coffee." Kang Ujang came, he put down the coffee kettles he had made and approached Bang Ucok.
"Den Ucok, can I have the Samsunya, just one?" asked Kang Ujang plain.
"What is often poached is not possible, especially Kang Ujang, HAHAHA," now Wawan so dare to attack Bang Ucok, the laughter exploded again.
“HUAHAHA, indeed all kelen monkeys, yes!" suhut Bang Ucok laughed.
Uge was indeed quiet, but don't suppose he was an easy target, his counterattack was extremely dangerous. The presence of Uge was just to kill time, every ten o'clock in the night Uge had a new routine, chatting with women from the future.
*****
^Wid, there is a way to prove who among us is ngaco. Yuk meet! Give me your office address, I'll come, ^ pinta Uge.
^Ngapain?ask Widi.
^Let there be no more drama across time, afraid?^ challenge Uge.
^Why afraid?sahut Widi.
^Kalo gitu give the address dong, Wid, ^ pinta Uge again.
Widi was silent for a while, then came a reply, an office address. Uge immediately saved that address.
^When do you want to come?ask Widi.
^God willing tomorrow after the dawn prayer I immediately leave, maybe nine in the morning I have reached your office, if the address is correct and not stray, replied Uge.
^Alamatnya really, where can I understand you who came all the way from Bandung, said Widi.
^Wid, sorry, are you married or have a boyfriend?^ask Uge nekat.
^Why is it this way?sahut Widi wonder.
^Can be a slander if you come to someone's wife, ^ reply Uge.
^You just meet, have a reasonable conversation, what's the problem?ask Widi.
^Eh Uge, if you really are a student, for me you are still ABG, you should call me mbak, a little boy talking about everything, ^ ridiculed Widi.
Is it wrong to be younger? Precisely if your story is true, entering college in 98, now you should still be in college, not the architect, Dek Widi, reply Uge.
^Not polite call Dek! Ge we have often chat, why the stress is not cross? I had a lot of discussion, still back to the cross-time question asked Widi.
^And you first said I am ABG, you are three years under me, you know, said Uge.
^Gini aja, you were born in what year, Ge^ asked Widi.
^1977, ^ answered Uge.
^Born in 1977, means you are now 27! You're right above me, so what do I do when I'm in college?ask Widi.
^Hahaha, that's it, I'll come to you tomorrow, we'll see who's wrong, Wid, ^ said Uge.
^Oh yes, bothered greatly, why don't we try a phone call? Ask for your phone number dong, Ge, Pinta Widi.
^Handphones? I am not the son of a rich man, Uge said.
What does this have to do with being rich on a cell phone? Oh, I forgot, your story is still in 1999. Okay, if there's another number to call, is there? Reason especially?ask Widi.
^There is a phone number kosan anyway, yes where is your mobile number? I called from the wartel deh, ^ pinta Uge.
^Because, here's your boarding number, I'm calling right now, your name is really Uge right?ask Widi.
^Yes kosan people know him Uge, ^ Uge said.
^Where are you now?ask Widi.
^In kosan room, ^ Uge said.
After getting a phone number, Widi immediately called. There was a calling tone, it turned out that someone immediately raised. Widi is happy because the cross-time mystery will soon be solved.
"Hello, assalamualaikum," said someone who picked up the phone with a Sundanese accent.
"Wa aleikumsalam, can you talk to Uge?" ask Widi.
"Den Uge's? Itb boy? The architect?" ask Kang Ujang.
"Yes." Yeah." Widi smiled with relief, it turned out that Uge was not fictitious and was really still in college. Widi can't wait to hear the reason for the old-fashioned abege feeling alive in the past.
"Den Uge the long, tall, casep, but fussy?" tanya Kang Ujang makes Widi confused but he has additional information about Uge.
"Yes" replied Widi.
"Den Uge who justad, diligently pray to the mosque?" ask Kang Ujang.
"stad? Yes." replied Widi.
"Den Uge who is in the room continues, seneng read, pinter maen guitar and..."
"Yes, yes, is there a sir?" tanya Widi was getting impatient.
Widi typed something on Uge, ^Ge, dong out, who picked up the phone.^
^Which phone is? How come there's no phone ringing? I check first out, briefly Wid, the position of the phone is close to the room, ^ type Uge.
"Don't call my father, Kang Ujang, "pinta Kang Ujang.
"Yes Kang Ujang, is there a Uge?" ask Widi.
"Iyeu saha (this is who), Neng?" ask Kang Ujang.
"I'm Widi" said Widi.
"His wife?" ask Kang Ujang.
"Don't you, Uge already has a wife?" ask Widi.
"Nteu nyaho (do not know), used to be mah kabogoh (girlfriend) aja nteu aya (none), alim pisan (banget) Den Uge mah," said Kang Ujang.
"Oh that, but the Uge is there?" ask Widi.
"Oh maap, Eneng Widi means kabogoh Den Uge huh?" ask Kang Ujang again.
Widi began to get upset, then he saw Uge's answer on a computer monitor, ^Nobody uses the phone, surely you are wrong number.^
^No, who raised know you really, this is him talking constantly, come out again, ^ type Widi.
"Alhamdulillah Neng Widi, spit or marriage, I am a seneng kalo..."
"Kang Ujang, I want to talk to Uge, the guy's not there?" tanya Widi gemas's.
"Oh yes, maap Neng, maap, maap, ma.. aaaap," said Kang Ujang.
"Sorry why kang?" ask Widi.
"Kang Ujang tea so confused, kabogoh Den Uge kok sonorous here? Telat atuuuuh," said Kang Ujang.
"Have you slept? Still stuck in her room, she's asking me to call right now" Widi said.
"Huh? Neng Widi nakutin pisan, the former Den Uge room is empty atuh," said Kang Ujang.
"Kang Ujang, has Uge moved?" ask Widi wonder.
"Neng Widi nteu? Den Uge has long moved, like five years mah there. Kamana iyeu (where is this) the casep?" ask Kang Ujang.
Widi was surprised, it was difficult to believe the explanation Kang Ujang, in Monitor Uge had written something.
^Ngerjain continues, no one calls^, wrote Uge.
^After Ge, I'll explain.Widi is starting to feel awkwardness.
"Kang Ujang mah kangen, if you meet here or meet brotherhmi, old boy mah still often gather, aya Den Ucok, Den Omen, Neng Lala.all except Den Uge." Kang Ujang continued to nyerocos so that Widi cut the conversation.
"Kang Ujang knows not, Uge graduated college what year?" ask Widi.
"Well, it's been a long time, it's like moving it, about 99 if it's not wrong." Kang Ujang's answer made Widi's feelings mixed.
Widi thought hard, is it possible that they are indeed at different times? He felt stupid to believe this.
"Yes already, have nuhun (thank you) Kang Ujang, assalamualaikum," said Widi.
"Sami-sami (sama-sama) Neng, wa aleikumusalam." When Kang Ujang hung up the phone suddenly he remembered something important and related to Widi, but he did not have time to say it to Widi.
Widi ends her phone, she sees that Uge has written on her computer monitor.
^Wid, why not be a phone? I'm the one who called, Pinta Uge,
Widi immediately typed, ^Udah Ge^
^Where? There is no phone, Uge said.
^Udah, do you know Kang Ujang?ask Widi.
^Oh really is a phone, but what in the middle room does no one use a boarding phone? Okay, I come out again let me pick up the phone, said Uge.
^No need, Ge, ^ said Widi.
^Why?ask Uge.
^Said Kang Ujang, you have not been there since five years ago, said Widi.
^Hehe you must have taken the name, the name Ujang mah market in Bandung, surely you did not call, ^ guess Uge.
^OK, you know Ucok, Omen, Lala?^ Widi's answer made Uge flinch.
^Hmm knows very well, but Wid, how do you talk to Kang Ujang, said the children he again told Bang Ucok to buy cigarettes to the shop and no one uses the phone, strange?^
^Ge, honestly dong, Pinta Widi.
^Ah that again, yes we prove it, tomorrow I will go to your office, said Uge.
^Udah first, I became afraid, Ge, ^ said Widi.
^Fear why?ask Uge.
^Ge, I was alone in the office at night, met a strange thing gini, serem tau, ^ said Widi.
^Pity, sorry Wid, said Uge.
^Udah yes, hopefully you tomorrow do not stray here. I really wish it was your advanced scenario, nothing more, than we really do different times. I must be sorry, said Widi.
^Yes, we will see tomorrow Wid, said Uge.
^Okay Ge, assalamualaikum, ^ closed Widi.
^Walaikumsalam, ^ Uge.
Widi was so frightened, instead Uge seemed excited, he immediately packed the things that must be brought to Jakarta.
