Cempaka Bride

New Resident Candidates

The warm air in the twilight of the day kept many people out of the house. Some are just walking around. There are also those who really have a need to get out.

Like a young woman who parked her car in front of a boarding house

the Bu of Revelation.

"Punten" he said, knocking at the door that had opened.

"Mango" said the Lord of Revelation who was waiting for the woman.

"Come in, Neng," the middle-aged woman asked. Then he grabbed the arm of the tall young woman.

"Where's the room, ma'am?" ask the woman.

"His room is upstairs. But it's not finished, Neng. Approximately one more week can only be occupied," replied Bu Wahyu.

The young woman was bearded. His eyes turned around looking around the empty house that was still quiet.

"Would you see an example of his room?" ask Dinar from the door of his room.

"By, Ma'am. If allowed," the young woman replied with a smile.

"Please" said Dinar, retreating slightly as she walked into the living room and began to look inside the room, kitchenette and bathroom.

"The room is good, yes. Vast and adem," said the woman as she turned towards Dinar and Bu Wahyu.

"Yes, Mother. That's why my friends and I stay here" said Dinar.

"Above how many rooms, ma'am?" ask the woman to Revelation.

"There are three more built. The plan is just to add two more rooms in this section. The front will not be made into a room. Let's make a gathering space" replied Miss Revelation.

"That's a big deal, ma'am. I also planned to take three rooms. For me and three co-workers. One room is filled with two people. Can you, Mom?"

"Can, Neng. Alhamdulillahot. It's not done yet but someone wants to take it." Bu Wahyu rubbed his chest while smiling with relief.

The young woman grabbed a brown envelope from inside her bag. Then give it to the Lord of Revelation.

"I paid cash, yes, ma'am. For three rooms. If less later I will move more fitting here," he said.

"Yes, Neng. Hatur nohun" said Bu Wahyu.

"O yes. We haven't met. I am Dinar" said Dinar, extending a hand.

"I'm Jessica. Call me Jessi" said the woman, shaking hands with Dinar.

Towards Magrib the boarding residents also arrived. After finishing the bath and the Magrib prayer, they gathered in the living room. Chat while eating dinner.

"Other times make kayak gini, yes, dear. Brother likes it" Zein told Triska.

"Yes. Don't forget to ask for money, yes, dear. Our four children ate a lot. From earlier mulu added," Triska replied with a smile.

Zein turned her gaze towards the four friends who were looking back at her with their mouths full.

"All the worms, yes, Bang. I thought they were worms in the stomach" said Tia, who sat to the right of Triska.

"Udah doesn't have worm medicine, Tia. The dragon medicine. Ivan kan miara dragon in the belly. Same with Satya, Chandra and Ary" said Rama who sat to the left of Zein.

Ayu choked while trying to hold back laughter hearing the guyonan of her friends. While the four people who were the object of the chatter only grimaced in embarrassment.

"Next week we add new residents. Four people," said Dinar after finishing eating.

"Cowok or girl, Ma'am?" ask Ary.

"That was here to pay for a girl. High. Well-favoured. Her name is Jessica" replied Dinar.

Ary, Satya and Chandra. Hearing the new residents are girls, they get excited.

The other is Triska. He glanced at Zein who was chatting with Rama. There was a sense of worry in his heart. I don't know why.

After finishing cleaning the cutlery and taking it to the dishwasher, Triska pulled Zein's hand and dragged him into the room.

Chubie's mother, who was sleeping on the living room carpet, was shocked when Triska and Zein suddenly sat nearby.

The ash stranded cat moved to the end of the living room and resumed his sleep.

"Don't spread the charm, yeah, Bang," Triska said as she looked at Zein who looked back at her in confusion.

"Who's the charm to?" ask Zein.

"New inhabitants!" ketus Triska's.

"Let's go. Kirain what? I have not met the guy yet. How do you want to spread the charm?" ask Zein. A smile spread across his face.

"Yes, deh. Aye! Satisfied?"

Triska nodded.

"Jealous, huh?" goda Zein's.

Triska glanced at him.

"It's jealous that you want to bite" Zein said as she turned her lips to Triska's arm, screaming in shock.

"Srsttt. Don't scream! Ntar the other kepo," said Zein.

"Abang anyway. Pake wants to bite everything," Triska's header.

"The abbess is gemes" said Zein.

The man smiled when he realized Triska's face was blushing. Slowly he moved his face and landed a kiss on the left cheek of the woman who owned his heart.

"Duhhh! The courtship!" ledek Ivan from the open door.

Triska grabbed a nearby tissue spot and threw the object at Ivan who immediately ran away.

***

Grrrr. Grrrr.

Triska gasped in shock when she heard Mom Chubie's growl.

His eyes blinked a few times to get used to the minimal lighting.

"Surprisingly, that feeling was the living room light on. How are you dead now, huh?" muttered.

Grrrr. Grrrr.

Triska's hand moved to grab her phone that was charging at the bedside table. Unplug the charger cable and activate the flashlight.

Chubie's mother was standing straight as she growled towards the window.

Triska slowly got up and got out of bed. Walking closer to his beloved ash-strewn cat who was still growling.

"What's up, Mom?" whispered Triska while caressing Mother Chubie with her right hand. His left hand moved open the curtain.

"Astagfirefull!" yells.

Underneath the mango tree looked a woman standing. Their views meet.

Slowly the woman floated forward and stopped a few meters in front of the window.

Triska pulls Chubie's mother and holds her to the door. Opening the door with trembling hands. Then ran and banged on Zein's room.

"Abang! Brother! Wake up! Beggg!" triska shouted in panic.

Zein opened the door and was shocked when she saw Triska's deathly pale face.

"What's wrong?" tanyakanya.

"In ... room ... there ... The rhyme!"

triska answered with a stern.

"He went into the room?"

"No. He's by the window" Triska replied, shaking her head.

"You woke up Ivan!" zein's orders. He immediately grabbed the key of the door that hung on the door of his room. Walk quickly and bang on Satya and Ary's room at once.

Triska ran to Ivan's room and banged on the door until the man came out.

"What's wrong?" ivan asked while scratching his cheeks.

Triska did not answer. He simply pointed across from Ivan's room whose occupants had already come out as well.

"You wanna come?" zein asked the three men who just woke up.

Ivan who had woken up walked up to them.

"Where?" asked Ary, Chandra, Satya and Ivan in unison.

"To Amanda's place" Zein replied.
