"That's a laper, Yang?"
"Yes, really. All day long I was busy until I forgot to eat," said Bias again took a skewer of klatak satay, devouring the rice that had been moistened with gulai sauce and biting the satay afterwards.
"This boy, Yang. Are you sure you don't want to? What's to bribe?" Bias is so enthusiastic about her eating activities. It was obvious he was so hungry.
"No, no, Yang. I ate this afternoon, still full."
"It was afternoon. Open your mouth, this is delicious. Although roadside food but the taste is not less the same at the resto-resto, the price is also affordable," said Bias who really enjoy the special satay from Bantul. The unique thing about satay is that the peddler uses young goat meat that is pierced using bars.
"Yeah, but if there's anything you want to say, yeah!" said Bias put an empty satay prick and grabbed Zee's fingers, he pointed the fingers at her cheek and rubbed Zee's fingers there. Zee nodded.
"I miss you so much, Yang," said Bias pinning a smile that made her even more sweet.
"Me too!" Zee pulls Bias' fingers now to his lips, he repeatedly kisses her. Bias laughs. "Udah first! I'll eat me first, okay?" Both of them laughed again. Zee pulled a large glass containing warm sweet tea in hand and took a sip.
"Oh yes, Yang! Your foot condition is really good. Don't you force yourself to come here when you haven't been given by the Doctor yet?" Zee moved the hand to Bias' thigh, pressed the thigh, massaged it.
"Alhamdulillah said the doctor was good. I was X-rayed this afternoon, too, but that's .. I still can't run and play basketball."
"Gpp, this is how I'm so happy. You also run away. Basketball game, patience! There will be a time when you can play again" said Zee to encourage Bias, there is sadness in the heart of Zee considering the accident that 8 months ago was her husband, the accident when his condition and Bias are not good and involved many misunderstandings.
"Hey, how did you become diem anyway?"
"Gpp" replied Zee.
"But I have some good news, Yang!" Bias face instantly blushed with a smile that was hard to decipher.
"Oh yeah, what's that?" Zee listened seriously, his face shining along. He was ready to feel happy too. Bias again put the skewer, this time the spoon he used was placed as well. The two palms were cupped Zee's fingers.
"I can play another one, Yang!" whispered Bias.
"Hhh you, Yang! Bawdy!" reply Zee who immediately understood the meaning of her husband.
"Seriously! I can control the game! Keeper just keep the goal anyway!" Not to be silent Bias is getting teased Zee.
"Well, you said it! This is a public place, Yang!" Zee's eyes widened to see Bias's behavior. He spontaneously covered his mouth with his palm.
"I'm not yelling either, honey! After all they don't understand either" Bias whispered again after opening Zee's hand from her mouth.
"You've eaten it, I hope yuk!" lontar Zee immediately diverted the inappropriate Bias speech in public, worried about being heard by others.
"You're impatient, Yang?"
"Which, you?" Netra Zee was rounded but her face was flushed red.
"Eh Yang, go there for a second yuk!" Zee said again to divert everything. Now he stared at the vast field with two large banyan trees and a lighted odong-odong train that made the atmosphere of a lively night with various human activities more colorful.
"What's that place, Yang?" tanya Bias started to wonder.
"Kidul Square. Honestly, I've never been there, but I've been horrified by my stories, Yang. He said the place was used to train royal soldiers, now it has been transformed into a public space. If the afternoon is about five o'clock, he said the little children play here. Running after hundreds of soap bubbles blown by his guard or shouting waving hands calling kites in the sky, he said," said Zee, Bias seemed to nod.
"Well, as the night goes on, the mood changes. As it is now, the atmosphere is getting crowded. Tandem bikes and lighted odong-odongs are a favorite of visitors. We can get around the square by renting a tandem bike and odong-odong full of lights. He also said on the edges of the area there are also many food vendors who roll out mats, so while ordering snacks, visitors can also sit back to enjoy the night sky, the scenery around, and so on, also feel the breezy night of Jogya," explained Zee again.
"Yes, and not just that. There is also a myth that who can pass two large banyan trees there with his eyes closed then his ideals or wishes will be granted. Well, because of the myth, eventually many people are curious and so they want to prove the myth," explained Zee again.
"Hmm .. interesting! Oh yeah, you said there's a food vendor on the sidelines, what's the food?" tanya Bias was also enthusiastic to see Zee who explained with enthusiasm.
"She said there was grilled corn, toast, wedang ronde, wedang bajigur, hmm..what else yes, I forgot, Yang." Bias looks laughing now see the spoiled look of Zee who is forgetting.
"You're so funny, Yang! Uh, by the way you're already 3 months more here why not mess there if the place is good?" Bias pulled her eyebrows asking Zee.
"Who am I going there? Risya is difficult to take outside the mallem. Pastri ma'am never really stepped on me, but together with Mbak Lastri I was a bit awkward, so I chose in the room just a phone call you."
"Smart! You better not be outside!" said Bias again while sipping her warm tea.
"Lho, why?"
"Fear of bad guys!"
"Ah that's who you are, your eyes squirm I'm a pervert!" Bias laughed again. "Look up, Yang! Usually I just see you on the screen 6 host and right now I squirm you directly. I miss you, Yang!"
"Eh, what do you want? Don't hug in public!" Just as Bias grabbed Zee's pair of shoulders, his wife was already holding back.
"Ah you, yaudah yuk find lodging!"
"Who aren't we there?" Zee stared at the Kidul Square about 60 meters from where they were sitting.
"I'm still a week in Jogya, honey. Next time gpp, huh? I'm sleepy, Yang! I want 10 o'clock as well. You go to college, right, tomorrow?"
"Yes, tomorrow I have class at 9."
Bias seemed to reach the phone from his pocket, he pressed a button, until a while after that the face looks as soft as possible.
"Why are you smiling, Yang? What are you looking at again?"
"Here I'm looking for lodging near here. It turns out that there are many options and the price is also relatively cheap. Look, Yang! Some even cost under 100k!" Zee seemed to pay attention to the pictures on Bias' phone carefully.
"Now try to check if the price of the hotel, yes____ Wow, Which .. with a price of 160 to 200 thousands we can also enter the hotel, you know! Okay now the decision is on you, you like us to spend the night in which place, hem?"
"Hmm .. I love this!" Zee pointed to the inns with prices below 100k per night.
"It's definitely cheap, right? Not in your heart?" Bias stared intently at Netra Zee closely. His wife is very sensitive and irritable about money.
"No, I don't like too big, we're just two, just a week, right?" Bias was silent for a while, she grabbed her phone again in Zee's hands, watching the pictures.
"Go fix us to this place!"
"Lho .. Why come here, Yang?"
"It fits not too big to your liking and importantly clean and beautiful, I like it!" said Bias, he noticed Zee's face flinch as if thinking.
"Yes .... Why, anyway? It's also cheap, above the price of your choice a little!" After a while, Zee finally nodded.
