Buih Becomes a Tapestry

Chapter 4

Alula just resignedly followed the steps of her friend when she was little. I took her to a beauty salon.

“What is this place?” alula asked so innocently.

“You don't know what place this is?” Arjun pointed to a real man who was stuck to the wall.

“Salon Arjuna.” Lula spelled eloquently.

“Come in!” arjun's orders.

“From the title that says like your name, are you the owner of this salon, huh ?” Arjun just nodded. Alula in disbelief, the place he came to look full of visitors, showing how successful he is now. As far as Lula is concerned, Arjun used to be just a newspaper courier.

“Come, login!” take Arjun again.

“For what should I go inside?” Alula looks to frown. Not that he refused, but he thought for what an ugly girl like her went to the salon, even the whole salon would laugh at her appearance. Alula was very self-conscious since Kevin did not appreciate her as his wife.

“You're a married woman now, come on!” arjun.

“There's nothing I can do. Even if I go inside, my husband will still divorce me. She loves her boyfriend more.” Lula was very smart to hold back her tears, but this time her tears managed to shed a light on what Kevin said a few hours ago.

“In this world nothing is impossible, you can be as long as you have the will. I'll give you a touch at some point.” Arjun pointed at a few corners on his face.

“You're joking?” Alula seemed to laugh at Arjun's seriousness in speech.

“If it hasn't been tried where to know ...” without waiting for Alula's response again, Arjun pushes a body twice as heavy as hers.

Alula is sitting in front of the mirror. Taking a deep breath certainly reduces the sense of nerfesnya a little. At a glance he looked at the mirror in front of him, his eyes were interested in seeing various equipment and objects for beauty.

"What is this thing?" her index pointed straight at a beauty package.

"Sponge and beauty blender" said Arjun.

"I think the blender is only in the kitchen, in your salon too" said Lula, who made Arjun hold back his anger.

"You're the wife of a CEO, that kind of tool time doesn't know." Lula just shrugged her shoulders, she didn't know.

"You know, this is called face powder brush, blush brush, fan brush, Spoolie brush, eyeshadow blending brush

Arjun who immediately intervened handled the matter.

“Weight,” Arjun stared fixedly at the wide face of the girl in front of him.

“75 kg.” Alula was short, thinking Arjun was asking for her weight.

Arjun cursively chuckled, “That's not what I mean, there are a lot of cases here. What a model woman you are, clearly see your face, acne, blackheads, greasy so one here.” the sentence stopped while pointing at Lula's nose.

Alula pursed her lips, “If you know I'm coming in here just hearing your insults, I'd better just go!” Lula was about to move.

“Hey, I'm kidding Alula, calm down!” Arjun held both of Lula's shoulders to stay in position.

Only Arjun called his name correctly. Alula recorded a lot in her brain calls when she went to school. It was Boboho, it was Betty Lafea, and now it's the reputation of the fat guy that everyone pinned on her.

"Are you ready to be beautiful?"

"Come on, Arjun, I'm not sure." Lula sighs.

"You have to be sure, you remember the words you gave me, it became the motivation of my life."

Alula scrunched her forehead twisting the memories that had gone by.

"Don't forget to be happy?"

"Yep, that's right! Ok, let's get started!" Arjun gestured for Alula to relax.

Slowly Alula felt the coldness of the ice cubes spreading across her face. The massage began to feel as well. Apply cream exploring the skin. This is the time he felt during the title of a teenager.

Alula during school used to have a person who excelled in all subject matter. Because he was poor, he had no cost to pursue higher education. Alula worked all day to make money to meet the needs of her and her sickly mother. His father was immediately answerable. Alula replaced her father as the backbone. Not until a happy life he must be willing to be left by his beloved mother, a cancer has eaten away his mother's body.

Outside it looks like rain is pouring down on the earth. There were a lot of protesters that afternoon. Some come just a haircut and some are just polish. Alula closed her eyes after getting tired of chattering. Now he enjoys a subtle touch and sometimes a little amused. Even now Alula is asleep.

Arjun smiled at Alula's behavior, he continued to work according to his skills. Although many employees offered replacement services, Arjun still refused.

For almost three hours Arjun has been doing his job. Although tired, he did not pay attention. I don't know what makes him this confident to make Alula worth appreciating. Arjun knows exactly what Alula is like. He's friends not looking at the fur. Although Arjun is only a scavenger child, little Alula still wants to be friends. He remembered that he had no money to buy books. It was Alula who gave him a book. Although simple kindness that Alula gave, but for Arjun it was a big thing.

Arjun occasionally wiped off the sweat. It was obvious the changes Alula displayed. His face after being smeared was completely clean from before. Looks more glowing and his hair now looks straight waist. It's not just once, it takes a while to get to the word perfect.

Feeling that the atmosphere had calmed down, Alula opened her eyes. Circulating the view of observing the circumstances around. He slept long enough, to be ashamed.

“Kok quiet?” Alula rubbed her eyes.

“Everyone left an hour ago.” Arjun's light that managed to make Lula gawk.

“One hour, even you didn't wake me!” Alula was stunned from her sitting and with a high tone she immediately got up.

“Surely you are thirsty, drink this!”  Arjun did not respond to Lula's complaint, he offered her a cup of warm tea.

"My hair!" peekik Lula who did not find the braid model again.

"Who is he?" Lula was stunned by her own face in disbelief by the reflection in the mirror.

"That's you, Alula Farhah .... "

"It's impossible, my face, how can it turn out to be beautiful like this?" Alula touched his face.

"Oh my God, I've been outside for too long, Kevin must have gone home, I must have arrived home as soon as possible.” Suddenly Alula panicked at the thought of her husband. Although her husband often lived in her, but still she felt guilty if she went out of the house without saying goodbye.

“It's still raining outside, wait a while longer. This teabag can reduce your concern for husbands who do not think you are.” Again, Arjun thrust the cup and Alula received it, there was nothing wrong with the words of her friend, she began to sip her sweet tea.

Kevin usually arrives at home at 19:00, after entering the apartment he will go straight to his room and there is almost no conversation between the two. Lula once offered a cup of coffee when she found out her husband was bringing work papers home, instead of being accepted, the coffee was spilled. Of course it hurts a lot.

It was raining, Alula let me go home.

“It's late, it's not good if a girl comes home alone. I'll drop you off.” bargain Arjun.

“Better no more if a wife goes home between other men.” Alula did not want to lose the argument.

“Hey, I am not another man. I've been your friend since I was a kid. After all, he won't be angry if you're with someone else right?” arjun's words have a point, too. Kevin never even greeted him, not even to call his name. In addition to words ‘Gendut ‘.

“Alright, I don't bring any money anyway. How can I go home?" muttered.

Arjun drives his car out of the salon.

“Where do you live?” Arjun started the conversation that since entering the car was silent.

“Rahayu Apartment.” Sahut Lula brief.

“What floor?"

" Floor 5" said Lula while confirming his sitting position. He picked up the mirror that was stored inside his small bag. Arjun who knew that immediately commented.

"Beautiful, you deserve that title."

Alula felt her face, "Even I don't believe this, you seem like a magician capable of turning me into a fairy tale."

Arjun laughed, "Even your husband I guarantee will pounce on you." This single guy really likes to tease Lula.

"Don't talk about something I never imagined!"

"Actually you can walk away from her if only the pain you receive in the marriage." Arjun suggested.

"It's going to happen, but not now. My mother-in-law is so kind to me, I can't hurt her."

Arjun's car stopped at an apartment.

Lula immediately came down and thanked me. Arjun just smiled and sauntered in Lula's footsteps.

"Jun, why do you have to come?"

lula's sarcasm.

Arjun seemed to like to laugh a lot, "I also live here." her answer really made Lula dumbfounded.

"You also live in this apartment!" without caring about Lula who was still looking for Arjun first entered, he was also the same as living on the 5th floor.

After the 25-year-old man could not be seen with his nose anymore, Alula walked into the apartment, where her husband was sitting on the sofa. He is certainly waiting for his return.

"Fat, where are you!" kevin snapped full of anger, not usually he asked about his return.

"It's none of your business." said Lula ketus, the pain is still imprinted.

Kevin immediately stood up and walked quickly towards her. He stared intensely at his fat wife.

Kevin laughed at me at once.

"What are your faces, you're still ugly in my eyes!" after laughing at his wife's face, Kevin stopped laughing. Alula who was embarrassed lowered her head, almost had her eyes warm.

"Basar fat, because you're not going to say, mama scolded me all out. Next time report to me!" Kevin pulls Lula's bag and takes her cell phone.

"You want what you!" Alula did not accept looking up. He tried to snatch his bag, but lost high.

"Silence you're Fat!" after finding the flat object, Kevin reached into his pocket. Kevin during the marriage had no contact number of his wife. He entered his number so that he could one day contact her easily.

"Now, tomorrow mommy invites us to come home. Don't ever complain about me!" Kevin throws the phone, Lula catches it.

"But I have an appointment tomorrow?" reject Alula. He remembered Emi that tomorrow after work he would buy shoes.

"More important which one, your mama or your promise is!" Her husband without hearing Lula's reply immediately went into her room.

Alula immediately checked her phone. Kevin's name is on there. A small smile adorned her sweet lips. Although he still hated it, I don't know why he was so happy. Alula then went into the other room. Their rooms are separate from the kitchen.

Alula took out everything in the paper bag. He tried to remember his names.

"Well, what was it, I forgot, what blender .. this one is an eyelash curler," Lula tried to memorize a set of beauty tools that Arjun gave for free. Having difficulty saying her name, Alula just lined it up in front of the dresser.

While Kevin was a little angry that he could not sleep. Trying to close my eyes.

"What the hell is this, why is Lula's face so difficult to disappear in the shadows. I might be crazy." Kevin buried his face in the pillow. Trying to position as comfortable as possible but can not be closed. He went out of the room to get some water.

"Yeah ...!" kevin shouted in the kitchen.

"What the hell are you, just surprise me." Alula immediately removed the mask on her face.

"I should've said that, my heart almost fell out." Kevin rubbed his chest. After his breath was regular the sight of the two men met. Kevin glanced at the look of his wife.

"What about those nights?" Kevin pointed at the face mask on Alula's hand.

"This is a face mask, let the face keep white and fress." Alula explained innocently.

"Don't wear that again in my apartment, only crazy people will be interested in how you look!" Kevin immediately opened the refrigerator to look for bottles of mineral water.

Alula was still digesting her husband's curse. After her husband left, Alula was about to take some snacks in the refrigerator as well.

"Where are all my snacks, the feeling when I left was still there" he murmured, remembering. His eyes were fixed on a few packets of snacks in the trash basket.

"This must be the playboy." Alula was upset towards her husband's room.

Without knocking Alula straight in.

"Hey, Fatty, who is polite to you! Who let you into my room, huh!" kevin who got out of bed.

He pushed his wife's left shoulder back a few steps.

"Keep your hands off me, playboy guy!" Alula brushed Kevin's hand. She suddenly dared to reply to her husband's insults. I don't know where he's getting the push.

"Oh, apparently you have dared to fight me huh!" Kevin raised his hand but was still stuck in the air. Alula closed her eyes. Her plump eyelashes and smooth cheeks are clearly visible that tonight Alula looks shining from the previous day.

Alula immediately opened her eyes after she felt nothing that should have landed on her cheek.

"Get out of my room immediately!" snapped the athletic guy.

"Aren't you the one who spent all the snacks in the fridge?" the question that made Kevin confused.
