Anila For Anala

CHAPTER 10 - BECAUSE OF YOU

Sunday morning, it's time to reward yourself. Fulfill his right to rest and be processed. Especially when there is no event like today.

Anila was ready in a black running suit. This time something was different. A blue-gray parachute jacket covers it. The head cover of the jacket is worn, so that only the face and tip of the hat are visible.

It's not just the suit that's a little different, it's more closed. But the jogging track is also different. Distance is further. Because the destination was the hotel last night.

Anila's new habit for the past five years. It has a very good impact especially on his body. The posture that is not too high becomes more firm. Stamina is also more awake. Not easily tired, sick, and most importantly very good to stabilize his psychic condition.

Anila arrives at the hotel basement. Maliq's old bike was still parked in place last night. It seems like no one has dealt with the damage. Anila had already contacted some workshops, but was ill. Most workshops are off on Sundays.

Anila took the initiative to take some pictures. To make it easier to find damaged spare parts. From left, right, face, back, down. Wheel parts mainly. Looking for a description of the diameter of the wheel, but never got. Until someone approached half-running while shouting, "Hey. What do you want?"

Not even Anila turned around, her arms had already been pulled in such a way. Her body was unprepared, Anila turned a half circle. His legs were unable to keep up with his suddenly rotating body. Anila fell down, lucky the puller supported her body so as not to fall. The two pairs of eyes clashed face-to-face for a split second.

"Astagfirullah, Anila." Maliq released his support on Anila's body. Anila collapsed. Sitting on the basement cement floor.

"Oh." Anila complained while rubbing the body of the back that violently hit the floor because of the effect of gravity. "Hold back, why, anyway?" gerutu Anila's.

"Ma .. sorry, An. It hurt?" tanya Maliq made sure Anila was fine without touching her. "Some of you why early in the morning gini looking at my motorbike?" Maliq.

"No, no pain. Not sick at all" Anila said. Anila tried to stand on her own without Maliq's help. Anila walked in search of a comfortable seat while continuing to wipe the sick part of her seat. Lucky not to hit his tailbone. "If I get to why. You have to take responsibility!" gritty Anila.

"Yes, I'm responsible. I married you." Maliq was seen holding back laughter seeing Anila in pain.

"Rese emang, yes. Sick people are still being swiped." I don't know why Anila's face warmed up when Maliq said so.

"Yes, already. Instead, I buy you a meal, yuk," asked Maliq to quell Anila's anger. "Eh, but. One condition first."

"Belcome, deh, Maliq. Apologize there are conditions. It's wrong, it's still a condition."

"For the sake of mutual benefit," seduced Maliq while sharing his trademark smile. A smile accompanied by raised one of his eyebrows, the right eyebrow. A typical Maliq smile that makes many women mistaken for him.

"Yes, already. What's?" Anila surrenders.

"Push the motor first to the workshop, yes." Maliq cupped both palms in front of his chest, the gesture begged.

Anila sighed masygul. His eyes were spinning lazily. "Splash!" anila's orders. Maliq answered immediately guiding the handlebars of the cream-colored motor.

Both pushed in silence. Save energy by minimizing speech.

But that's not the only reason. Anila was still pictured as her body was grabbed by Maliq's arm. The eyes that meet the eyes, it makes it awkward to remember. Unknowingly, Anila reviewed a small smile of her own.

From the rearview mirror Maliq pay attention to the movements of Anila. Anila now patted her forehead many times. "Are you really okay?" tanya Maliq made sure while looking at Anila.

"Kok smile to himself? I suspect you fell into a tailbone, you know. Around the tailbone, right, a lot of muscles, ligaments, just as nerves. Suspicious of getting a nerve, tuh," pointed Maliq on Anila's reddened face.

"Absolutely, yes, by the way." Anila hit Maliq with the bottle she was carrying.

"Oh." Maliq complained while rubbing his shoulders.

"Thankiratin. It's been a while, ain't it, is it? Not enough breakfast, though. Had to have lunch until dinner if this is far away," said Anila.

"A lifetime too, I live if I want to" replied Maliq. "Ouch. For a long time I reported Komnas HAM on the charge of Domestic Violence, yes." Again Maliq rubbed his shoulder which was hit by the impact of Anila mineral water bottle.

Maliq does not change, always teasing Anila. The temptation is always to go there; marry, hallinlah. Anila was upset with Maliq jokes, because it made Anila hope more on Maliq. However, it was later broken with a Maliq curse that tells about the criteria of his dream wife. Ayu, graceful, gentle, smart, shy, quiet, plus physical characteristics of long hijab, wear socks, always wear a robe or skirt, and close his mouth when laughing. Definitely not Anila. Until Anila turned away from her.

As per Anila's request. One day, from morning until evening, Maliq paid Anila to eat. But again, not unconditionally. The food menu is Maliq's choice. Without thinking long, Anila agreed, and regretted later. The diet failed completely.

Breakfast Bubur Ayam Bandung, lunch Mie Ayam Bandung with siomai Bandung snack, closed lunch timbel complete with karedoknya.

...***...

Lines of light spread in the corner of the sky, accompanied by rumbling sounds alternately. From the dark sky, the raindrops falling down formed a long, unbroken curtain. Anila and Maliq are caught in the rain in one of the saung of West Java's natural-style restaurants, the dim-lit Saung that surrounds the lake.

"Where is today?" ask Maliq while staring at the lake.

"Nice," Anila replied as flat as possible. The same, without taking your eyes off the lake.

"Nice?" tanya Maliq looked briefly at the other person.

"Well, I haven't eaten all that food in a long time."

"I am every day" Maliq said without question.

"meaning?"

"Yes, every day I eat food that smells Bandung."

"Why? It's good, huh, Bandung food?" guess Anila.

Maliq nodded a few times before replying, "Because you're in Bandung."
