Ch.30 – Hogy House

"The best revenge is to make yourself better." -- (Ali bin Abi Talib)

\=\=\=\=\=\=

Now seen in front of me a grand mansion with two cars in the front yard, I had not set foot in Hogy's house for a long time, and as I remember the last time I was here was Junior High.

Once every time we finished practicing pencak silat, I often took a bath at Hogy's house and also often had dinner here.

This house looks a little different from my memory, especially the Hogy home page which now looks more beautiful with a variety of flowers that decorate the yard and also a small fountain that is located

in the middle of that page.

I think that Hogy's house is like a small palace, and Typhoon's house is a secret base, whereas my house is just a hut that can fly at any time when there is a big wind coming.

“Ayo ah in, direct to room aja.” Take Hogy who is looking at the courtyard of Hogy's house that feels a bit foreign to me.

I lay this body on Hogy's soft bed, momentarily taking off my tired and troubled heart that struck this heart.

“She's gone

Out of my life

I was wrong

I'm to blame

I was so untrue

I can't live without her love.”

There was a heart-rending song coming from the living room, I also heard the sound of Hogy laughing while playing the song.

“Oi coeg, here's the coffee at the table.” Hogy yelled from the living room, while I still held back a bit from his mannerism of trying to insinuate me through steelheart's song.

I heard the footsteps of the hogy approaching me, immediately I stood beside the door to ambush Hogy as he tried to enter the room.

“Coeg?” Hogy is now on the doorstep of the room and is looking for me.

[Buck!!] A hard blow from my right hand managed to land smoothly on Hogy's stomach, but indeed the reflexes of the hogy's abdominal muscles were so well trained that my hard blow was not fatal and managed to withstand my blow.

“Guobl*g!! surprised me coeg!! Good thing my breath is ready, if it can not break my stomach.”

I just smiled wryly at Hogy's reaction and set my foot toward the glass of coffee that was waiting for me at the middle table.

I don't remember Hogy having an older sister, and I was used to being bare-chested at Hogy's house, when Hogy and I were having our coffee, arrived – arrived there was a woman who passed by beside us and entered the room in the back.

After seeing Hogy's older sister disappear into his room, I immediately grabbed my shirt that was behind the door of Hogy's room because it was a bit uncomfortable with this incident.

Seeing me already wearing a shirt and walking with a grin – now hogy laughs at me and invites me to sit in the gazebo behind his house.

“Mbaak, fried cassava yaa, take it back!!” Hogy shouted in front of Siska's room

“Bar.” Hogy offered a cigarette that was already lodged in his package.

“I know you want to quit smoking, and how many weeks have you quit, right?”

“I also know that you are feeling bad with Typhoon, so nih nih nalain cigarettes so do not dizzy.”

“Keep later if you want to stop smoking already just stop.”

“Haish Hog, you want to be a seductive demon? People want to stop smoking even offered cigarettes, any problem gini aja yes time can make me discouraged anyway? Couldn't be laah.”

“fit anyway, but kurraang.”

“Well what lack?”

“Less saos sambal hahahaha.”

“Continue? Anything else what not?”

“haiissh, yes yes.. less cigarettes.”

“bwahahaha, it's true what I said.”

Finally, with a heavy heart and a little guilt, I accepted Hogy's offer to return to smoking the tobacco leaf scroll only when I was feeling dizzy like this, besides, I have to try to hold back this opium.

Not long after a pleasant aroma emerged from the direction of the kitchen tickling my nose, I was very sure that this aroma emerged from fried cassava.

Hogy asked me about the true story of my relationship with Aisyah, and why I could become angry just because the Typhoon told me about her.

I just laughed at Hogy's question, because I had nothing to do with Aisyah.

Then I told him everything, including about Wulan and Dhewi, how we met, and how our relationship, Hogy was shocked because I did not think that I also had a relationship with Wulan.

Hogy only advised me to obey my heart, and do not listen to any rumors from others, including from the Typhoon.

I relished the exhale for the sake of my breath through the cigarette that a cigarette gave Hogy, I had not felt this sensation for long enough, there was a slight dizziness in my head, but this is a natural reaction when an active smoker who has long enough to stop smoking, then re-light his cigarette.

We talked about various things, including women's problems, when we were busy talking in the gazebo, a woman appeared to approach us with a tray containing fried cassava and cold water.

“Thank you mbak, bothered – repot all this.” I laughed alas – stale welcome the arrival of my favorite fried cassava.

“Heleh, base – is so stale, where are you going to bar? I think it's a long time I've never played here, where did you bar?”

“hahaha.” Without feeling ashamed, I told my past to mbak siska, even though our age was only one year apart, but I called her by mbak's call, because I do respect mbak siska who was often bothered by me when I came home from silat training.

I told them at length about the state of my family, hearing my story, my eyes began to look – glass, he smiled bitterly as he looked at me.

“I did not expect, it turns out your life is like a bar, when your family was a fairly viewed family, let alone your father who also worked in the government, he said, no one has ever seen your father?”

I just shook my head at a sign that no one had ever told me or my mother about my father, who had disappeared all along, I also had time to forbid my mother to try to find the irresponsible man –, if indeed someday he wants to go home, let him go home, let him go home, but I would never assume she was in my house.

“ya already, you guys continue to chat, I want to go inside first.” Sister Siska left us and disappeared into the house.

“Hog, don't you want a girlfriend?” I asked Hogy who is now enjoying his coffee and cigarettes.

“Hahaha, do not know, again males, do not feel complicated to have a girlfriend, still want to be free!”

I laughed at Hogy who answered my question in such detail.

***

I arrived at my house when the sun was about to set, and of course was immediately greeted with a melodious spray from my mother's throat.

“Where have you been? Go home from school and not go home and play! That's Dhewi waiting for you to grow moss on his feet!.”
