Bara And Arum
Galau Bara
Arum was engrossed in humming listening to the song on the tape of Bara's car. His voice included good to hear making Bara glance at the girl who wears a white Sabrina dress, jeans and sneaker shoes plus a brown sling bag that does not appear as an obstetrician.
Some of us breaking like ice
Some of us like a stone
Some are just like the blowing wind
Others always getting thrown
But we'll all just fade, so is it better to say?
Chances are what you feel is like everyone else
Who is wrong, what is real?
You can ask yourself
If you find a way, you can always carry on
Chances are what you need is like everyone else
It's in you, it's in me
You can see yourself
If you find a way, you can always carry on
"You know this song?" bara asked who was shocked it turned out that Arum had memorized the lyrics.
"Know it. The Aussie singer is called Invertigo, right?" reply Arum.
"And not many know" said Bara.
"My brother will live in the Aussie, in Sydney to be exact. He once sent the band a CD so know it" replied Arum casually.
"Your brother a boy or a girl?"
"Cowok, working in the PRC group as an architect there" replied Arum.
"What's his name?"
"Indeed Bara works in PRC too?" Arum asked back.
"No, but I know the PRC group." There's no way I said I was still a cousin with the PRC group family.
"His name is Gasendra Amada Pradipta."
Bara remembered the name because later he would ask Fuji.
"Mas Bara does know who in the PRC group?" ask Arum.
"Fuji Al Jordan and Kris Ruiz."
"Yes Allah, it is the CEO of PRC in Asia and the United States. Great if Bara knows them" praised Arum.
"It just so happens to know" said Bara flat.
"Well, does it work as a motto?" ask Arum.
"Why?"
"That's a camera bag. Did you know that in the mangrove forest? Why not Arum? Can replace the monkey pose" Arum's ripple that makes Bara gawk.
Oh my goodness, this girl!
"Are you in the mangrove forest?" ask Bara.
"The only thing I'm afraid of monkeys will run away, the surrounding streets alone" said Arum.
"Oh."
It did not feel that the two had arrived near the mother and child hospital which was only one kilo from the company building owned by Giandra Automotive Co.
Arum took out the red money and put it on the dashboard of Bara's car.
"What is Rum?" ask Bara.
"Urun gasoline" replied Arum casually. "I told you that."
"No Rum."
"I can't do that, I told you and that's my promise to you. Accepted yes." Arum looked at Bara expectantly.
Bara just nodded. It could be long if the same debate with this one dime girl.
"Which are your costs?" ask Bara who went into a street behind the hospital.
"That's the white paint green fence."
Stopped his car. "It's over."
"Thank you Bara. Sometimes if you need a friend to the mangrove, take me yes" said Arum.
"Hhmmm" murmured Bara.
"Ish mas Bara is not fun. Ohya mas, this is my phone number if you need a friend to the mangrove." Arum wrote down his phone number on a post it he carried and then placed it on the dashboard.
Bara just stared at Arum who was releasing the seatblet. "Thank you for delivery and for food." Arum opened the door. "Assalamualaik."
Bara saw from the rearview only a faint smile.
Really a great day.

Bara made a video call to his cousin, Fuji Al Jordan, who was in Tokyo.
"Assalamualaikum Fuji" Bara said as his cousin's face appeared.
"Wa'alaikum salam. What's up bro? Healthy?" reply Fuji who looks just finished a shower.
"What's going on?" fashion Bara.
"Mandi bis nge gym bambaaaaannggg. Don't think weird!" cebik Fuji sebal make Bara terbahak.
"Eh Ji, still hold PRC group branch Asia - Australia right?"
"So far, according to the shareholders' composition is still" Fuji cuek replied. "Why?"
"Know the architect of Gasendra Amada Pradipta?"
Fuji who was still Shirtless and only wore shorts with a towel around his neck, looked at Bara with a questioning look.
"Why ask Sendra?"
"Know or not Ji?" Bara felt anxious because Fuji asked back.
"Know! He's one of the best architects of the PRC group and is now in Sydney taking care of the construction of an apartment there." Fuji was wearing his shirt. "Why?"
"It's okay" Bara replied.
Fuji squinted his eyes. "Sambara Ganendra Giandra, you will not be nanya if there is nothing. How can you ask about PRC group if you are not in our group."
"It's okay. Thanks Ji." Bara turned off his call.

Fuji, who was dumbly calling from Bara, turned off suddenly, feeling something. The man called Levi.
"What Ji?" levi judes.
"Assalamualaikum cumiiiii" ledek Fuji.
"Wa'alaikum greetings octopus! What's?"
"Lu why Vi?" fuji asked confusedly.
"Berrantem with Yanti. It makes no sense!" sulcan Levi.
"Is there any sensible cravings?" rasp Fuji. "What did Yanti ask for?"
"She asked me to take an EXO-style position called Growl. What are I EXO members?" namel Levi.
Fuji. "See, put your son down!"
"Let me learn first. What's the phone?"
"Their strange white" replied Fuji.
"Why?"
"You can ask the PRC group architect who I have been assigned to Sydney."
Levi fell silent. "Bara never interfered with the PRC group."
"That's him I'm confused about."
"We'll just wait for Ji, what's wrong with you asking the architect."

Bara began to find out about Gendhis Arum Pradipta by stalking all his social accounts. Arum apparently only has WhatsApp, Instagram and Twitter accounts, it is rarely active.
Bara started to open an unprivate Arum Instagram account. Arum seems to prefer to post about the health of the reproductive organs for women, especially for the pregnancy program. The girl rarely posts herself because it is more often in line with her profession.
It turns out you have two accounts - Inner Bara after seeing there are other Arum Instagram accounts that are privated.
But Bara can see the profile of Arum who looks beautiful in white clothes and make up a bit thick like attending events.
It's pretty! Very different from how he looked.
Bara stared at the post-it paper he was holding containing Arum's mobile number.
Call or WhatsApp first?
