Damar For Kinanti

visit by Tyo

Damar went into the courtyard of the house of Kinanti, where there was already Kinanti, mother and Joseph waiting.

" Hey, I'm Yusuf. Kinan's cousin.." Joseph introduced himself and shook hands.

" I'm Damar." both of them shook hands.

" Go in first son." said the mother, her face sumringah saw the arrival of Damar.

" Just ma'am, let Kinan not be too late to get there." replied Damar.

" Yes, let me get the bag inside.." Kinanti got up and went inside.

Joseph looked at Damar from top to bottom.

" As you've seen.. Where are you?" joseph asked doubtfully,

" Maybe on the way." Damar replied calmly,

" maybe yes." answered Joseph.

Before long I came out with my bag.

" Come on" take Kinanti,

" Wah.. Nan's spirit once departed?" again Joseph was flirting.

" Just watch out for you next week Suf..!" kinanti remembers sourly kissing the back of her mother's hand, followed by Damar.

" Mom, I'll take Kinantai.." said after kissing Mom's hand.

" Yes son." replied Kinanti's mother as she touched Damar's arm, a touch that had meaning, "thank you son for taking care of my daughter".

" Nan." call his mother when Kinanti is about to leave.

" Not ma'am?" Kinanti,

" Nice good with Damar, huh..?"

" My mother, do I want to do evil with her?" answer Kinanti,

his mother smiled at the impatient attitude of her son.

" At a moment call penghulu bulek. lest long, people are already tacky!" yusuf.

Kinanti's face flushed with embarrassment, while Damar smiled.

The two left like yesterday, in the middle of the trip Damar always took Kinanti to eat, he did not want to miss it.

" Do you like riding a bike?" ask Damar, when both of them have finished eating.

" of course, I go to school usually on a motorbike." replied Kinanti.

" What about the next time I take the bike?"

" It doesn't matter if my heart just hugs me.."

Damar smiled at the words of Kinanti.

" How could I not heartily guard Aji's sister." Damar's voice turned soft.

Kinanti again was stunned by that tenderness.

" nan? don't you want to go to college again?"

" the S2? who doesn't want to." replied Kinanti half-murmuring,

" Don't worry about the cost.."

Kinanti was silent for a moment,

" When do you really want to pay me?, and is it true that all this you do for Aji mas?" ask Kinanti seriously.

" Until you get married, therefore if you want me to stop financing you. marry me, then I will stop financing people's wives." Damar replied again looking relaxed but serious.

" Can I smoke?" he looked at Kinanti,

" just one day, after that we leave.I will sit a little far away.." added Damar, Kinanti nodded without answering.

" Where's your phone number?" ask Damar between his smoking lines.

" For what?"

" i'm your wall, call me if there's anything urgent.."

" when did you become my guardian?!"

" since I left you to me, actually since a few years ago, I've thought of it that way..

now, where's your phone number..

how stingy, I'm not the one who's gonna hurt you.."

" Where do I know.." muttered Kinanti,

" what good is it that I hurt you?" asked Damar with a frown.

" Where do I know the male mind.." added Kinanti still in an unpleasant tone.

Damar let out a breath, adding to his patience.

" If I wanted to, I've been forcing you to be by my side for years,

do you think I can't?

moreover, mother likes me very much, she will not mind of course." said Damar calmly.

" I'm a Nan man, but I've never been reckless with women,

do you want me to curse Aji from the grave for making his sister cry?

ah, never mind. You'll never know how I worked for you,

better find a good man now if you want to get out of my shackles.."

" cuffs?"

" let's just say I shackled you under the pretext of my responsibility, and I won't let go of my responsibilities before anyone takes over" Damar's voice was full of emphasis.

" So, where's your phone number" Damar's voice isn't friendly right now.

With a heavy heart Kinanti gave her phone number.

" Yes, let's go.." Damar got up from his seat, then just walked past Kinanti who was still sitting.

During the trip the two were silent, their last conversation did not seem so pleasant to the amber, Her attitude was cold during the trip, her hospitality was gone, somehow that upset her.

Damar stopped his car in front of Kost Kinanti's house, precisely after their magrib arrived.

" Mrs Kinan..?" a man called out to him when he just got out of the car.

Damar went to look for the origin of the sound.

Turns out Mr. Tyo, he was sitting on the guest chair of the Kinanti hostel.

Mr. Tyo's face that was bright saw Kinanti, became clouded when he saw Damar get off the car.

" Lho? mr Tyo? what's there to do?" tanya Kinanti approached and forgot about Damar.

" Want to talk to the njenengan, if at school it is not good to see other teachers, so my mother usually said.so I wait for my mother to come home.." Tyo throws a smile.

" Ow.." replied Kinanti dispelling her shock with Tyo's presence.

" I'm back first" Damar said from next to the car, without waiting for Kinanti's reply he immediately got into the car.

" who? a boyfriend?" ask Mr. Tyo after Kinanti put his bag in the room and went back out to meet Tyo.

" No sir, my late brother's friend is like a brother." replied Kinanti, whether the answer was suitable or not he did not want to take a headache.

" Oh, I guess the boyfriend is angry.."

" No sir, what my father thinks is the type of person who is interested in dating.." Kinanti laughed crisply, though,

" then go straight to the room and get married?" tanya Tyo laughed lightly.

" well.. Maybe so sir. hehehe.." Kinanti replied not seriously, but it seems that Pak tyo takes it seriously.

" When can I go to the house?" ask tyo then,

" play in my house?" repeat Kinanti, please,

" Yes. I actually have a brother who lives one sub-district with njenengan, well. maybe if you are visiting there I can stop by.."

" oh. so yes sir, please just go ahead. call me if njenengan is there.." replied Kinanti doubtful.

" Okay.one goes, another comes." lamented Kinanti inwardly.

" For a moment sir. I made a warm tea first. Kasian since I was waiting for me.."

" don't bother mom?"

" ah, we are co-workers sir.where maybe the father troublesome me, anyway the father helped me a lot in school. a moment yes ." Kinanti got up and immediately walked into her hostel kitchen.

" Another sweet selling apparently.." Early voice went into the kitchen.

" You think the trade is selling well!" Kinanti.

" Aahaha!" Early chuckles.

" In the end, one has not left, uh. there is someone waiting here, he long knows. as safe as sitting in front.." added early, he said,

" who? mr tyo?"

" Who else would it seem to like you Nan.."

Kinanti silently heard that, her face confused.

" Nah. nah.you got confused so had to choose which one.." Miscatch it with a Kinanti expression.

" Not confused!"

" then?"

" I'm confused about how to reject it, we're coworkers. The situation will turn uncomfortable when I reject it.." explains Kinanti.

" Yes too.why not try it first? looks like you have a little sympathy for Tyo sir?"

" sympathy does exist, but only limited to coworkers, Mr. Tyo is friendly, light-handed, simple again, you know I like simple men.. I don't like rich men.."

" then who brought you?"

" I don't really know, my mother who clearly knew him. But at first glance I saw he was quite a person. but his appearance made me unable to measure him sufficiently.. because the sentence that explains about him is minimal..

every meeting, what he discussed with me was only his responsibility to my deceased mas..

you know how annoying that is..?"

" fear that if you marry her, it is only her responsibility to your brother and not love." chirps Dini makes Kinanti sigh deeply.

" Yes that's the goal." said Kinanti lirih.

" But you said that if you had your own future husband, it doesn't matter..it would help with your wedding expenses..?"

" Yes, he said it clearly to me.."

" Whoa. so much regret for the passing of your brother that he was able to behave like that.."

" I don't know Din, just this time I met a guy like that..

if you like Mr. Tyo has often been, so I am not too confused to face it, but if like mas Damar..

he is difficult to guess, sometimes friendly, sometimes indifferent, every word he said relaxed but full of seriousness..

he's like a calm ocean, I can't measure how deep it is, you know,

at least that's what I've been grading for a few weeks.."

" wouldn't it be more dangerous for a man like that Nan, he could destroy anything when angry..

be careful, don't offend her.."

Kinanti.
