BLOODY REUNION
CHAPTER 8 EARLY ANNOUNCEMENT
After swimming, they gathered at a table in the yard. No one thought to clean the body or dress first because the stomach was rumbling not playing, then with wet swimsuits and sober they immediately brush the grilled fish that had been waiting. It is not good to leave the grilled fish still warm to be cold while they are busy with ethical affairs. No, on this island there are no such rules…
And what they enjoy is really a party, a party of grilled fish. The fish on the table were abundant. The princess does not know why the numbers are excessive, there may be some that will be set aside for tomorrow night, but nothing has beaten grilled fish as dinner by the beach, as well, and according to the Princess grilled fish tonight is the best. This is not a fish, but something that Ninda bought at a supermarket in Jakarta with pieces of boneless salmon smeared with melted butter with special concoction seasoning. So forget about rice.forget the side dishes available on the table today are more than enough. Eating pieces of fish grilled giant alone has made the stomach full.
Ninda and Shanti are busy serving men with their huge appetites, Desman and Dicky chat with occasional laughs, while Rangga is confused between holding his camera or plate. Only Captain Yungke is invisible, perhaps he returned to the yacht after turning on the generator to turn on the lights of the island. The princess was sure she had a bed there, as there was no extra room for her in the men's room after her three beds were occupied by Dicky, Rangga, and Desman. Poor guy, but the Princess is sure he must be more alone on the ship.
“Princess does not want to add again?” ninda Tegur.
“Bby,deh..”
“You what?”
“Same boiler..”.
“You are very excited, yes.” Ninda smiled. “It's the same menu for the third portion.”
Princess hungry amazing after swimming and of all that happened, according to him, shrimp and squid is the most delicious.His favorite, “Original has not been exposed to cholesterol, cuek aja.”.
“But like this malem we will all get high cholesterol,” Ninda laughs.
"Thank you to the two of you, then,” The Princess came laughing. “What matters is that you have prepared an ambulance for an emergency.”
Ninda's familiarity made Princess feel a little strange. He had just chatted with Shanti while swimming together earlier and his old friend, as usual, gossiped that Ninda was the son of Radityo Adinegoro, who had ruined the happiness of the Princess's parents' household.
The world is narrow. Who would have thought that Ninda's father was the man she used to hate. But here he is, vacationing with princess Radityo Adinegoro surrounded by facilities that must belong to the enemy of his father, chatting and laughing with the girl, enjoying grilled fish in the courtyard of his village, and it turns out he was also his best friend's fiancee.
The princess lies to Shanti that she is no longer vengeful…
Nah! He still retains his hatred, although in contrast to his former self who still likes to explode with the desire to finish off Radityo and his entire family. Time has shed its petty wits in a more mature sense that its family members are also victims of the cunning of Radityo, the old wolf. A commotion certainly occurred within the family when Radityo's affair with his mother was revealed to the public. But the Princess was difficult to accept when her family broke, while the man's family was even more harmonious. The princess looked at it as an injustice, making her blood bubble, let alone every look at her mother's rapidly aging face, as if constantly feeling guilty from a burden that could never escape for dozens of years from his shoulders.
Yeah, maybe he no longer hates the Radityo family but he still holds a grudge against that guy. And Dicky probably knew his character so well that his best friend hesitated to say this directly to the Princess. Although she did not want to be as extreme as before, the Princess did not deny that she would still kill Radityo if there was a chance. Probably not stabbing him, but at least spiked rat poison in his coffee!
Dicky opened two bottles of wine as a grilled fish companion and poured them into six high-legged glasses on the table. Shanti nudged the Princess to look at the label on her bottle that wrote down a French wine brand in 1979.
“Gue once drank something like that. It costs more than two million a bottle.”
“Masa?” inner Princess but she nodded in response from Shanti's comment and responded short. “It sure tastes good..”
“You're kidding? The best..” timpal Shanti raised eyebrows.
“Tonight was amazing, wasn't it? Less than just ajib-ajib lamp,” Dicky jockeying accompanied by the laughter of his friends. “And now make the peak of his surprise.” The young man docked to Ninda and hugged her fiance's waist. “We want to know your opinion that this island is used as a wedding venue.”
The four friends were silent for a moment and the next second Shanti screeched ahead of the others. The girl was quickest to respond when there was news from others, approached Ninda and Dicky to greet the two, ”Are you getting married? Wow, that was great..”.
Rangga immediately jumped from his seat and hugged Dicky, “Crazy, man. Congratulations to you both.”
Princess laughs and kisses Dicky's cheek after Rangga is done with him, “Gue is happy..”.
Dicky looked at. The Princess realized Dicky did not expect the words to come out of her mouth, but she actually said it sincerely. Perhaps the young man will be even more surprised to see his sparkling eyes, which unfortunately are impossible to see by the gloomy surroundings, “Thanks. We want this wedding to be unique because it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, right?”
“So when is the date planned?” Rangga asked.
“February,” Ninda replied.
“Then, this is early announcement?” shanti Comments.
“Mas Dicky wants his friends to know first before anyone else.”
“We are flattered, loh,” said Princess. “There can we help make your wedding?”
“Gue wants you to be a good pager and pager at the reception,” Dicky said. “We have agreed that the three pairs are from my friends and the other two from friends Ninda.”
“But ayu pager and good pager are they young?” ask Princess.
“So you already feel old?” dicky's question made the others laugh.
“If you feel old, it's your pain,” sela Rangga. “Gue hasn't head three kok..”
“Gue anyway want to see the Princess couple with Rangga later,” Shanti said.
“Elu would be surprised if what I bring is Reza Rahardian..” reply Princess does not want to lose.
“Masa, anyway? Or maybe you even pair up with Rangga,” added Dicky grin while Desman, Shanti, and Ninda laughed chuckling.
“Most of that. I also brought it. Then, how about we toss for Dicky and Ninda.” said Rangga raised his glass to distract..
“Wait, previously someone had to say the tips first,” Ninda interjected. “I guess I'm the same Dicky needs that..”.
“Ya..ya..and I think there is nothing more suitable than a couple Napitupulu. They have experience,” added Dicky.
“How is Madam Napitupulu?” the Princess was half-tempting.
Shanti sneered, feeling old by the insinuation, then elbowed her husband. Desman coughed then cleared his throat, “Alright, the matter of experience is relative. Where do we start, yes..if about what you have to do on the first night it seems you already know, so I think you better experiment yourself..”.
The princess, Rangga, and Shanti laughed, while Ninda and Dicky's faces met red.
“Entering a husband-wife relationship is actually not enough with love capital. Love is soft from a relationship like gossip that becomes soft social communication. The couple is actually the most mysterious figure in our lives. If we dig it continuously, we will be surprised to find that we do not recognize him more and more. So for Ninda and Dicky, never stop digging and fill your partner in tired or excited, sad or happy, sick or healthy, because marriage is not the end, but the beginning of a new life process.”.
Glassy Eye, “Thanks, Bang Desman.”
“Toss for Ninda and Dicky,” said Princess reminded.
"Toss!” yell at the others by raising the glass anyway.
Grapes that glide from the mouth provide warmth throughout each body. Dicky sighed in satisfaction, “Thank you once again for everything. I'm the same Ninda couldn't possibly be sleeping tonight. From here I'm sure we're both more steady moving forward.”
“Why don't you kiss the bride-to-be?” seductive Desman.
“Ya..cium.cium,” Rangga and Shanti are unpretentious to the nor.
“Don't do so, ah,” Ninda blushed but she didn't resist the moment Dicky's lips landed on her lips, and spontaneously sounded a joyful cry as the two kissed affectionately. After that Dicky looked at his friends one by one like soldiers who won the war, ”Your satisfied, satisfied?”
“More satisfied again if we add the drink.” suggested Princess greeted crisp laughter as a sign of approval.
“Best uploads, best moments, with best friends,” comments Ninda.
Dicky nodded, “I love to hear that. Well, how about we do something fun to add to the atmosphere of this incredible night?”
“Do what?” ask Shanti.
“Wait a minute..” Dicky ran to the villa regardless of wondering views from the others.
“What surprise again, nih?” ask Rangga.
They looked at Ninda, but the girl just smiled and shrugged. Not until five minutes Dicky back by clamping a black flat wooden box whose size is quite large, “You will definitely be impressed with this thing.”
The princess had a glance towards Ninda who raised eyebrows in astonishment. It seems that the girl also did not understand what Dicky meant, especially about the contents in the box that his fiancee brought. Meaning it's on Dicky's personal agenda, and no one knows it until he says it himself.
“What is it, ****?” ask Shanti who can no longer bear her curiosity.
“Sabar..the show will start soon,” Dicky said as he opened the box in front of him. Overwhelmed with great curiosity, everything immediately crisscrossed to see what was inside the box.
The inside of the box is divided in two, the left one contains a fairly old wooden board measuring forty times thirty centimeters in thickness three inches. On its surface were carved alphabets, rows of numbers, and various symbols. The rows of numbers under the board contain numbers one through zero, all unit numbers, while the tens numbers made up only one, the thirteen, are behind the zeros.
In the middle there is an alphabet from A to Z which is larger than a row of numbers. The alphabet was carved in equal distance from each other thus showing its individualistic nature. On the board, right in the middle, there is an inverted star symbol flanked by two circles inscribed with the words YES and NO, all gilded in gold. On the left and right of the alphabet are various odd symbols in the groove of thorny roses. There are some symbols that Princess knows such as “hir”, ∞ which is a common symbol as a symbol of no limit, or ♀♂ which is symbolic of the union of man and woman, but the rest of it like ∏, ⁇ , ⁇ , QLittlefight was a form he had never encountered.
In addition to the board full of symbols and letters, on the right there is a triangular magnifying glass of the same size on each side. The frame of the magnifying glass is made of the same material as the board next to it, looks shiny even though it is not twisted. In the center of the convex glass is a transparent graph of the same inverted star emblem engraved on the board.
The princess did not know what it was, but the mystical air gushed strongly from her, and this air was clear...as clear as the air he felt when visiting the house of a shaman with Ichsan in order to interview for broadcast material. Such mystical air is light, but also terrible because it can bind very strongly, as if to swallow himself if he is not even a little.
“This object is the door..” Dicky explains. ”...which connects all time, the present with the past, the future, even to the time we do not know where.”
“Omongan you look like Deddy Corbuzier,” comments Shanti.
“Gue is serious.This thing allows us to relate to the spirit dimension which allows us to know whatever we want,” Dicky said.
“You mean like a jalangkung?” the Princess' question made the others look at her.
“Persis,” says Dicky grin. “You remember that?”
“How not?” The sultry princess saw Dicky acting so relaxed in this regard.
Yes, how not.jalangkung..or ouji, the name of the game he just knew his real name now, has incised a great sorrow story in the history of his life...
