Deepest Wound

MARTABAK.

I took off the heels that were holding my body for most of the day. Then I took a quick massage of my legs which felt cramping and pegel. Then I went to the bathroom to refresh myself.

But behind my tiredness there is a sense of pleasure as well. I heard from Bang Fauzan that the road was also connected to my home village. If the road is finished in the next few months, then automatically it will be easy for me to go home to the city by passing the shortcut from the village. Since Bang Fauzan is the head of the road project, it means that we will meet often. I'll ask Bang Fauzan for help just to go home, my inner city.

After the shower and getting dressed, I headed straight to the kitchen. Again, that is the only food available. Should I sleep on an empty stomach again? I sighed in annoyance. I want to go back to work in the city.

For several months I endured the agony of not meeting with miss martabak, finally coming when I asked Bang Fauzan for help to pick me up and drive me to the city. I know, Bang Fauzan must be very troubled by my request. But I let go of my bad taste towards him in order to meet his favorite food.

Bang Fauzan rented an inn while I spent the night at his boarding house Om Wandy. I love my salary if I have to pay for lodging even if it's just one night. Some months my salary was almost intact because there I almost never snacked because there is no food seller like in the city.

"How's your job?" Om Wandy asked me as we enjoyed some of the food I bought.

"It works well, the pay too. But sometimes it's a bit extreme if you get a job on the field again" I replied.

"Good indeed. Oiya, don't forget to contact Kak Laras, he always asks you how you are."

"Oh yes, Om. I miss you too, Brother Laras."

"How is it the same, Ardi?"

"Uhukk uhukk...!"

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you have a new one?" The Babe Om Wandy.

"Where possible, I'm the same brother Ardi is one heart and two souls. If the same brother Ardi is not a kangen anymore, but kangen bangett...!" My answer.

Om Wandy glared at me and I laughed.

"Basic, bar-bar chick!" Om Wandy said as he moved from his seat.

"Wee..., convent!"

"Om sleeping on the couch, huh...? Because I want to sleep in the room!" My scream.

Not long Om Wandy came out of the room carrying his pillow and blanket.

I walked over to Om Wandy on that couch. "Om, before I go home tomorrow, I'll buy it. Let's go for a walk first," take me.

"Come, but what time are you home tomorrow?"

"Yes, after we go for a walk."

"You hauled a cab from here?" Om Wandy immediately changed his position from the fall directly sitting leaning.

"No. There's Anita's friend who's taking the shuttle."

"Friends?

"Yes," I replied while nodding.

"An, setau Om the distance of your company is very far. Aren't you wrong to ask your friend to take you?"

"He doesn't mind, though. The proof is that he wants to, no. Now he's at an inn near here, "I explained.

"But you paid for the inn, right?"

"No, lah. It's delicious."

"Jeez, Anita...! You should know yourself, it has been helped even make people spend money! What sins, Om you have a nephew like you?"

"Sin, because Om is not married now," I replied as I passed wanting to go to the room to rest.

"Ckckk...."

In the room I immediately contacted Kak Laras and for almost an hour we chatted. After that, I told him to call Ardi.

"Don't think about it, besides Brother is happy to help Anita go home. At least you can know where you're in this town."

"Don't, Bang. I'll keep paying for everything." I also insisted.

"Udah, don't be in trouble, or you won't help you anymore."

"Yes, Bang. I'm sorry if I was ngerepotin brother. Thanks for the help."

"Either. What are you now?"

"Oh, I'm going to rest now. See you tomorrow, Bang."

"Ok, happy resting Anita."

After ending the conversation with Bang Fauzan I intend to contact Kak Ardi again. I'm surprised there are so many messages coming in from Ardi. Not all the messages I read, Brother Ardi called me.

"Sister, how are you?" Ask me directly.

"I'm good. You how? Why did you call me so long ago? You also didn't wait for an answer from me before you left." Ardi's sister immediately charged me with a lot of questions.

"sorry. I was in a hurry."

"Where are you now?"

"I'm staying at Om Wandy's. And tomorrow I'll be back."

I didn't hear Ardi's reply. Maybe he was disappointed that I only had a little time to contact him. I also kept quiet and didn't know what to say.

Until finally the voice of Ardi was heard again.

"What time will you be back at work tomorrow?"

"Maybe it's a little afternoon. Because tomorrow I want to go for a walk with Om Wandy" I replied.

"Oh, okay. I'm gonna take a break. See you tomorrow. I love you." Then Ardi immediately decided on the call.

"Sister!?"

I still want to talk...

I woke up and had breakfast with Om Wandy.

"Next time not at will to the person who is willing to help." Om Wandy was still discussing the matter last night.

"Yes, Anita also apologized and was willing to pay her lodging fees, but she refused. How, dong?" As I put pieces of cake in my mouth.

There were many types of cakes available at the table that morning. Looks like Om Wandy deliberately bought it for me.

"You're not a kid anymore, you're an adult. You should understand that kind of thing." Om Wandy advised me that morning. I listened as I tasted every single one of me in front of me.

"Please wake up Ardi who is sleeping in his car, take him for breakfast. He must be tired and hungry to have to drive from night till dawn." As Om Wandy moved out of his chair.

"Huh!?" I was shocked and went outside to prove what Om Wandy said.

I saw Ardi's car parked in front of the house. I immediately approached Ardi's car and knocked on the windshield.
