Demians

Chapter 17 - Broken Heart

I went home to Miss Rima's house with Ines. Before entering the house, I headed to the kitchen in the stall for lunch with Ines because we missed lunch with the others.

“tadi who helped Jihan cook who Nes?” I asked when I took spinach in a pot.

“Devan was the one who helped Jihan” I nodded my head at Ines's reply.

After lunch and cleaning the equipment, I entered the house through the back door because honestly I was still not ready if I had to look directly at Bian. I went straight to the bathroom to take ablution and prepared to perform the dzuhur prayer.

When I walked to the room finished ablution, in the middle room I saw Bian was eating the sponge I had made. Bian looked at me who was about to open the door of the room that turned out to be locked from the inside. I knocked on the door hurriedly calling out to Jihan who was inside the room. Alfi and Devan could not have been in the room because when I was about to enter the house, they approached Ines in the kitchen and at this time they must still be there.

“Jihan!” I knocked on the door harder. I heard the voice of Jihan from within who answered my call.

While waiting for Jihan to open the door, I turned around to confirm Bian's whereabouts. The look in my eyes met her eyes that looked at me deeply while eating the sponge in her hands without intending to speak or approach me. I looked back at the room door and knocked even faster, luckily Jihan opened it this time.

“long very well open the door doang” sewotku when closing the room door again after I went inside without seeing Bian again.

“ya sorry deh..tadi I use the headset because, just heard the moment you hit it a bit tight earlier” said Jihan regretted.

I did not respond to his answer and immediately performed the dzuhur prayer. Finishing the prayer, I lay down beside Jihan and closed my eyes.

“later wake me up at 4 o'clock ya Ji... I want to sleep first” mumbled me without opening my eyes. I fell asleep right away after hearing Jihan's reply.

It turns out I need more sleep. I just heard Jihan's voice wake me up when the clock showed me the number 5. I immediately took a quick afternoon shower and immediately performed the ashar prayer because the ashar time was running out. Finishing the prayer, I saw Jihan and Ines who were still engrossed in bed and would show no signs of preparing dinner.

“what do we cook for dinner?” ask me after cleaning the mucus.

“we do not cook Dem” replied Ines while playing his HP.

“oh??? Want to eat out?” many wonder.

“engga..tonight the boys want to be a chef in the kitchen, last afternoon Devan fitting help me say later tonight let the guys just cook, replace he said” explained Jihan.

“about cook what are they??” I was curious about the dinner menu.

*****

“are you kidding us??” ask when you see the dinner menu served.

“why? Something wrong with our cooking?” alfi asked who was confused by my question.

“you menyiapin everything from 5 hours which makes my expectations high and it turns out the result.” Ines could not continue his speech because he was surprised to see the cuisine of the boys.

“emang results why the?” devan asked with a face without sin.

“gue kira lo can cook a menu that is more than this Dev” said Jihan while staring at the food with an expression of disbelief.

“actually I can cook if there is a companion that can cook. Because my companion all can not cook.ya so this is” said Devan while scratching his neck that I believe does not itch.

Me, Ines, and Jihan tried to be patient looking at the dinner menu and the expressions of the guys who were like they did not feel guilty.

“ARGHHH RETURN TIME 2 HOURS ME!!!” shouted Ines who finally was unable to hold back his emotions, “2 HOURS YANG!!! I GAVE YOU THAT TIME I THOUGHT YOU WERE A GOOD-LOOKING MAN BECAUSE YOU WERE INDEPENDENT IN JAPAN. BUTWHAT??? INSTANT NOODLE??? EVEN I CAN MAKE ALL THIS WELL IN LESS THAN 15 MINUTES YAAANGGG!!!” me and the others could only grimace seeing Ines blindly scolding Devan by tightly holding his shoulder and shaking him.

Actually there is nothing wrong with our dinner menu in the form of instant noodles, it's just that seeing its form is very unappetizing with a mixture of vegetables that the pieces are not rusty and only the eggs of beef eyes used as side dishes looks doubtful whether the food is worth eating or not.

“ya right I usually cook for myself.and if cooking most just manasin canned food or make noodles…if you want to eat well, just buy at a restaurant there are many”, Devan replied while grimacing to see the face of Ines who was fiery looking at him.

“air...gue needs water.although it is cold now but it feels like I want to burn” Ines growled while walking to the kitchen to get drinking water.

“he said earlier you helped Jihan cook Dev..kok now you say that you gabisa cook?” I'm still confused by Devan's words.

“ya as I said earlier, if I can cook if the accompanying me. Jihan can cook, eat it I can because I get directions. Well this.Bian Sama Alfi aja just tau cook mi yaudah I finally broke up to cook noodles…if reckless cooking menu strange I gamau take risks later the results are not karuan” explained Devan who makes me nod understand.

“but instead you should be able to cook huh? In the past every look at your story, you must have loved Ines in the kitchen to cook together, I'm sure Ines always taught you to cook before leaving for Japan right?” jihan asked who was still confused by Devan's explanation.

“eh...mmm..i-it-it-it..” I saw Devan nervous and re-scratching his nape, his face also began to turn red.

“i think I know the answer..pasti lo do not help Ines and ngeliatin how he cook right?? Worrying about your face like that, surely you even do other things like Ines right??” accuse me while squinting at Devan, “gila ya lo!! I hit his shoulder a few times with a slight tightness which made Devan grimace in pain.

“hah? Meaning what?” alfi asked who reopened her voice because she was confused by my words.

“alah gausah sok confused lo Al..lo and Devan are the same, just because lo jomblo aja eatnya can not show the nature of the original lo” Alfi who heard my answer began to smile pervertedly to me. I shuddered to see it. Bian cleared his throat hard enough to see Alfi's behavior.

“eitss...casual mas bro...i love cornering friends kok” Alfi directly embrace Bian who is still staring at Alfi with a cold gaze. I looked at their behavior with a lazy look.

“emang Ines equals Devan what is Dem?” jihan asked who did not know the extent of Ines and Devan's relationship.

“yaampun..my friend still plain as it turns out. Gini yes my baby Jihan, you know Ines and Devan were dating 5 years.and you also know how the two of them. Do you still think their courtship style is only limited to hugs and handrails like a new ABG child in love?” Jihan finally understood my explanation.

“emang lo is not plain anymore huh Dem?” alfi asked who I immediately rewarded eye shots. Devan laughed loudly at Alfi's words along with Ines who returned to the living room where we gathered.

“oiyaaa lo is now the same as me and Ines Dem. Not entirely the same anyway.kan Bian just pay his DP first yes?” devan said teasing me then laughing with Alfi and Jihan. Ines who had just sat back down, confused to see Devan, Alfi, and Jihan laughing while me and Bian just silently put on a flat expression.

“meaning Demi is the same as us and Bian just paid DP what the hell?” ask Ines to Devan. Ines had returned to his usual attitude after a long time of calming down in the kitchen.

“it loh yangg.kan Bian and Demi will soon be the same as we” Devan replied while giving a code by raising and dropping both eyebrows, “kemarin right Bian already love DP to Demi in the pool” Ines who just understood with the explanation Devan immediately pinched his stomach that makes Devan complain of pain.

I was embarrassed to finally take an empty plate and start picking up noodles in a frying pan and cow's eye eggs. I started to put the food in my mouth. It felt a little salty, but I kept chewing it slowly.

“you still want to chat and not eat?” ask me after swallowing the first mouthful.

Finally one by one began to take their respective portions. Me, Ines, and Jihan just quietly ate the “luarpu” noodles because we still appreciate the guys who have tried to cook it.

“oiya no...mmm like he already want to reach anyway.so earlier he said maghriban first in jalan” replied me while reading Mas Bagas message. I knew Bian was looking at me deeply when I talked about Mas Bagas, but I kept being nonchalant and ignored that gaze.

Not long after I read Mas Bagas' message, suddenly there was the sound of a motorbike entering the yard.

“assalamualaikum” greet Mas Bagas when entering the house.

“waalaikumsalam” answered me, Jihan, Alfi, and Bian.

“eh Mas Bagas has come home.eat mas” bargain Jihan when Mas Bagas sits between us.

“thank you Ma'am Jihan, but sorry before I have eaten with a friend on the road was” reject Mas Bagas subtly, “oiya this was I bought martabak sweet cheese flavor. Eaten yes..hopefully like” said Mas Bagas while putting the food wrapper in our midst.

“waahh thank you mas” replied us to Mas Bagas.

“iya both. Oiya I say I want to go to the room first yes.mau clean-up” Mas Bagas rose from his sitting position and rushed to his room.

After Mas Bagas left, I who had spent my dinner intended to take sweet martabak to neutralize the salty taste in my mouth. When I opened the package, Bian held my hand tightly without saying any words. But seeing from his gaze, I understand if Bian forbids me to eat sweet martabak given by Mas Bagas. I sighed trying to ease my emotions that started to rise. Slowly I tried to take my hand out of his grasp.

“fine..my bolu was there this afternoon right?” ask me to others, “mouth I am so salty because, must eat a sweet” continued me.

Alfi pointed at the closet, and saw a plate containing a sponge on one of the shelves. I take the plate and finish the remaining sponge as much as two pieces. Fortunately my mood immediately improved after chewing the sponge because it saw the possessive nature of Bian relapse.

After finishing the sponge and drinking water, I hurried to lift my dirty dishes to the kitchen. However, Bian forbade me because the boys would take care of him. I put the plate back down and walked towards the room.

I did toothbrush, face wash, and ablution after playing HP in the room for approximately half an hour. When I was inside the bathroom, I vaguely heard the sound of someone outside the bathroom making a video call. I could hear the sound of the chatter from inside. It turns out he was Bian.

“here the signal is stronger Sar..kalo inside rather dotted”.

…..

“tadi abis dinner trus was going to sleep after toothbrush, uh you called”

…..

“ah later you snack again.kan mas gabisa curl you if you again ngambek”.

…..

“iya mas also misses you.want to rush Monday so that you can go home soon and hug you. Mas kangen also the same massage you, later massage your back mas ya while mas story it”

…..

“your massage is second to none. Gaada any woman who beats her beautiful massage mas for now”

…..

“hahahaha..gombal also same you this”.

…..

“already there rest. Sweet dreams yes..nih mas love kiss online let fast sleep”

…..

“ya right now mas not beside you.later if you have returned home mas kiss you as much before sleeping”.

…..

“waalaikumsalam”

I tried to hold my body against the wall so as not to fall after hearing Bian chat with a woman I believe named Sarah because she had mentioned the word “Sar”. My tears flowed without me preventing it. I closed my mouth shut so as not to make a sound. I didn't expect Bian to turn out that way. It hurts my heart to hear their friendly chatter, I feel broken heart now.

I immediately wiped away the tears on the face and took the ablution back. I cannot be weak. Before Bian played me too far, I had to end it tomorrow before I returned to Jakarta. After confirming that there was no one outside the bathroom, I immediately opened the door and walked towards the room. Before arriving, I met Mas Bagas who was about to leave the room.

“eh Demi” said Mas Bagas when I saw me.

“eh yes mas. Where to?” ask me when I see Mas Bagas like I want to get out of the house.

“ini want to see a friend in pos” he replied. Suddenly his forehead creased as he looked at my face.

“do you cry? What's up?” ask Mas Bagas worried.

“oh gapapa mas.Tadi my eyes put soap keep coming out tears a lot. Maybe so painful so swollen as to cry” answered me lying.

“typical a Demetra” said Mas Bagas who makes me confused, “tomorrow want to join mas do not see sunrise?” I was surprised when Mas Bagas asked me out.

I thought for a moment with his invitation, I was afraid that Bian would get angry again like this morning. But wait, I'm going to end our relationship tomorrow, why am I worried about her? He must also be busy making out with the woman named Sarah.

“can deh mas..emang want to see where? What time does it leave?” Bagas smiled at my answer.

“ada hill behind this village. Later we leave at 4 at dawn there” he replied.

I agreed and immediately agreed to go to the room. I immediately did the prayer and cleaned my face. Unbeknownst to Ines and Jihan, I prepared the equipment I brought to see the sunrise on the hill and put on the clothes I was wearing tomorrow, so when I woke up I just had to coat with a thick jacket that I put on the suitcase. I did intend not to tell the others because I wanted to calm down without any interference from anywhere. Fortunately Ines and Jihan had already fallen asleep when I was busy preparing the items.

“Ji, borrow your HP dong” jihan muttered a sure sign. I immediately took Jihan's HP and opened it. Fortunately, Jihan's HP was not given a password, I immediately set the alarm at 4:45.

I'm sorry Ji, I murmured in my heart. After setting the alarm, I fell asleep.
