Aril opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the ceiling of the living room illuminated by lights. He slowly got up from his sleeping position, sitting on the long sofa that was there. Dinda, Mum, Ncing and Engkong memorize Aril who when he saw it had realized.
"You've realized, if anyone is sick, dizzy," said Dinda who still looks panicked.
"I'm okay, just a little dizzy" said Aril.
"So why did you faint, tired?" ask Ncing.
"Actually .. I had a bit of trauma with the ondel-ondel" Aril said at the end.
"Why don't you tell me, if you die, you'll bother with his business" said Engkong suddenly, who was currently standing behind Dinda.
"Sorry Kong, I just don't want to disappoint everyone" said Aril who sounded weak.
"It's okay Ril, the important thing is you don't do anything," said Mother.
"If so we go home now, yes," asked Dinda who pityed to see her lover.
"About!" suhut Engkong suddenly, then went one step closer to Aril, "Take Dinda home but Aril remains in the morning until tomorrow."
"If so, Dinda also does not want to go home Mom, want to be here with Aril," said Dinda.
"According to what Engkong lu Din said, let's go home," Mother asked.
"No need to ma'am, Dinda wants to be in" Dinda's words were cut off as Aril grabbed her hand.
"You go home, tomorrow we meet at the office yes, it's okay I'll be fine here" Aril said, smiling with his pale face.
"Here home, use your Ncing motorbike" said Engkong.
Mom pulls Dinda's hand. It felt like Dinda was still not willing, leaving Aril there alone. I don't know what Engkong will do with Aril, but that's the tradition of his family. Although Aril will give up now, Dinda is fine because this is too heavy.
Aril wavers at Dinda until Dinda disappears from behind the door. Over this he fought, against fear for the sake of the idol. He's come this far and he won't give up. He would prove to Engkong that he was serious about Dinda.
...**...
Day changed Night.
After dinner full of awkwardness, with Engkong and Ncing Dinda. Aril followed in Engkong's footsteps sitting on a mat on the porch of the house. Aril does not know where to start the conversation from because Engkong also just silent since then. Before long Ncing came up with a tray, containing two cups of black coffee.
"In drink yes Ril, do not strain so," said Ncing while offering a cup of coffee to Aril and Engkong.
"Thank you Ncing" said Aril.
"Yes equally, if so Ncing back first yes," said Ncing while standing from his position.
Now there remained Aril and Engkong who sat side by side there. After a moment of silence, Engkong finally turned to look at Aril who was now also looking at Engkong. Seeing Engkong who turned to him, Aril immediately turned his gaze to any direction.
"It can't massage?" ask Engkong suddenly.
Aril turned back to Engkong, "Can kong, can."
"The massage of Engkong's shoulders .. this is a very big pegel," Engkong said, massaging his neck.
"What's so strong in Napa, so weak in men."
"Ready Kong." Aril tightened his massage. He was not strong but he was afraid of Engkong in pain.
"How long has Dinda been dating?" ask Engkong.
"It's only been a few weeks Kong" replied Aril.
"Still new, how can you go straight to bed?" ask Engkong again.
"We have just started dating, but Dinda and I have known each other for four years .. For that I do not want to delay the time to formalize our relationship Kong," said Aril who continued his massage.
"Dinda was Engkong's most valuable grandson, since birth he did not know who his father was, because Dinda's mother who lived married husband again. Since childhood Dinda always nanya where his father, if Engkong denger Dinda said so, it feels like Engkong suh tuh male biadap who has been telantarin Dinda with his mother, want Engkong tejek-bejek. Engkong did not want Dinda ngalamin the same thing with his mother," said Engkong, a fierce face that usually radiated now turned into a sad.
Aril just kept quiet while listening. He just found out if it turns out that his lover has a mass that is so heavy. Being abandoned by your own father is more painful than staying away forever. Because Aril as an orphan, at least save the memories of both parents as good memories, while Dinda must save bad memories about the father who left him for the sake of other women.
"If you really want to be serious with Dinda, Engkong is just a pesen .. never hurt Dinda's heart, never make you cry him and never flirt, be loyal. That's the most important thing" Engkong continued.
"Ready Engkong, I promise not to hurt Dinda, I will make her always happy and love Dinda completely" Aril said.
"Ck, can aje lu.. young people today on the picky girls yes, Dinda is the most beautiful girl in the area, because many are seducer so Engkong told to move, Dinda is the most beautiful girl in the area, all of you let the same deck where he went to college," said Engkong.
"Yes Kong, Dinda is beautiful, very beautiful" Aril said, picturing Dinda's face as she smiled at him.
Praaakk.
Again the original Engkong kicked off, to make a beautiful daydream Aril, froth instantly, "If beautiful, why you just shot Dinda now, almost you first people ... actually the son of Pak lurah demen very same Dinda, nanyain Dinda Mulu if you meet."
"Well, are you Kong?"
"Somewhat the hell, be kidding doang, Hahaha" Engkong said, then chuckled to himself.
"Huh, I think seriously Kong .. means now Engkong has approved our relationship?" asked Aril hesitatingly.
"Yes, Engkong blessing."
"Yesss!" aril exclaimed suddenly, making Engkong aghast in shock.
"You're crazy!" exclaimed Engkong while looking back.
"Sorry Kong, I'm too happy .. would you like another massage?"
Engkong returned to his position, turning his back to Aril, "By dah, pegel ni ni ni kundak."
Aril continued to tread on Engkong's shoulders while continuing to smile to himself. He can't wait for tomorrow, meet Dinda and tell her everything. Hearing a crank story about Dinda's past life makes Aril increasingly want to formalize their relationship as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Dinda who always seemed cheerful, turned out to be past childhood without a father figure who should be a role model, turned out to leave. Even so, Dinda grew up well in the midst of a big family who loved her so much.
