Don't Say SORRY

Don't Say SORRY
18



Bree decided to stop working from the cafe. Alby pensively for a moment, his hand stopped taking the side dish. Then start talking back. Bree was washing his face in the sink.


"Can Bri not go out first?"


"Well, I was thinking, stay out, 'cause I found another job."


"Can't it be postponed first?" Still the same question.


"That's it, my answer, Bi." Bree out the kitchen.


"Tomorrow Bri is still rested. We're out of town, at your house. It takes some time to travel because your condition is not fit."


Bree stood against the wall near the door. Alby placed a plate full of food and water in the tumbler on the table.


"The matter of resign can be discussed again at the briefing."


"My bullet samples coming in at the new job are running out? I can't waste time waiting for you."


"Eat it."


"My life isn't you regulating, Bi."


Alby snarled across the table, and Bree flinched.


"I know what my fault is with you, Bri. You pissed? I-i know. You'd better fuck me than shun."


"Of course not a word."


Quiescent. Alby knew Bree would only always argue.


Crazy one! Along with Alby, Bree went crazy!


"here." Alby grabbed Bree's hand.


Alby's palm clasped Bree's hand. Alby's warm body temperature radiates there and Bree's body feels the warmth .... Bree's heart warmed up instantly.


"Eat, Bri." Alby led Bree to the couch, then sat down.


Bree looked at the soft-textured rice along with the half-cooked eggs, with a little soy sauce poured coiled over the egg rice. Tantalize. This is Bree likes. If he's from a complex, his mama always presents something like that, and Alby plates it just like his mama did.


"When are you cooking?" Bree won't be prestige shifting the plates closer. Being connected wants to eat.


Unprincipled! Right now he shouldn't have received any attention from Alby. But it's wrong! Of course he should appreciate what Alby did. Gratified. Things this small already bestowed great kindness.


"Wake up and sleep."


"You eating?"


Alby hasn't eaten with Bree in a long time. Alby. He cooked when he saw Bree was sound. Alby took a meal for himself, without soy sauce, only rice with perfectly cooked eggs.


Bree felt his tongue touch the savory rice. Very soft and scented. Alby added the bay leaves in liwetan. And the egg is salted. Bree misses Alby. Remembering at the beginning Alby came with him, Bree fried a banana but Alby took over frying it. Bree just sat down for a sip of coffee. They talk about a lot of things.


After that, his nephew came with his wife. Mas Deva, grandson of his mother's brother Bree. Bree's mother and family are the youngest of 11 children. Mas Deva's age is close below the age of mom Bree. Alby was very polite to Mas Deva. Bree was amazed by Alby's post to the amazement of Alby's attitude that nurtured him. Long ago. Now everything leaves a dream. Alby is just a baby boy!


"Drink your medicine." Alby prepared some of the Bree drugs that were taken after meals. "It is a shame that these drugs are ignored. Health is expensive."


"For what is healthy."


"Ikhtiar form. As the people who are brought to life in the world have a responsibility."


"What is life for? Many people are not responsible."


"That's why there's learning, Bri."


"Learning but still underestimated. Ck ck. Even repeating the value of the drop by skipping the study."


Alby did not think out, Bree staunchly denied and this.


Alby admitted to realizing the mistake but still act. It's actually easy if Alby avoids Bree because the girl herself wants some distance. Or Alby can release Rima, it turns out that the relationship with Rima makes it filled. Rima continued to attempt to initiate communication over long distances. Bree appreciates communication when together. They mean to Alby.


"Effacing life is right, even if it goes beyond the decree of God." Bree continued his thinking.


"Thank you, Bri."


Bree was stunned to see Alby's smile.


"I haven't managed to avoid you. Don't thank me."


Alby took a breath. Whatever he said Bree was vulnerable to attack. As Alby fends off and retaliates, Bree remains easy to counter.


"Thank you for Bri eating rice and taking medicine properly."


"Oh. Thank you, you have everything ready. It is only a form of respecting the good of our fellow men. Even if I'm an animal, animals can thank me." Relaxed. Bree smile.


Forced smile. Alby just let go. This time he kept quiet.


"Put it. Wash your hands in the bathroom."


Alby stood by Bree washing his dishes. Accidentally still holding the plate will Alby wash himself. Usually he takes over what Bree did, this time just being able to keep quiet so as not to get hit by the babble again.


"Please?" Bree made room for Alby to put down the old cutlery.


"Thank you." Alby wants to get closer to Bree. Anything is done if there is a chance. Apparently impossible.


"Just a reply, you are the same as nyiapin. Rima is lucky if you keep this up because this is your responsibility as her husband later. Keep it up, not just for a while." The word while emphasized.


Alby silently looked at the blabbering Bree. Even in the bathroom he stole a glance to relieve himself. I don't know, haven't seen Bree there's any fidgeting in him.


"Follow me?"


"I'm tired. My time of rest can be wasted. I should have worked. I am useless."


"Bri is very useful for us. Create cafe. Make other kids. Everyone wants Bri. The plants are also treated the same Bri. Some customers also nyariin, they keep nanyain when Bri is not visible. Everyone misses Bri's service."


"Well, maybe call girls could be a job recommendation after this. Eight hundred thousand plus pieces of the destroyer were not in vain for me. Sisan dene (All of you)."


Alby frowned.


"Eh but I'm a bad girl, ugly, can't be an option. Just glanced at males. Service is number two after appearance." Bree kept chattering.


"Wong in halal work is a service that is neglected if it does not matter about appearance. Ha, at most I sell two hundred thousand." Bree grinning. It really hurts to talk about this. But not relieved yet as long as there Alby wants out all uneg-uneg.


Alby chose the road not to respond to Bree. The more wild if responded, such as monstera or devil's ivy.


Alby did not stop. He took Bree's jacket and put it on two shoulders.


"wear."


"I don't want to!"


"This is your owner's order."


The owner always remembers himself. Not just Inspiration. Alby is worse!


While Bree was wearing his jacket, Alby picked up the bag and put the charger in. Bree's dead cell phone hasn't been charged yet, Alby stuffed all of them in a bag.


Bree sees Alby out of the room and Alby's cell phone on the table is put in his bag.


"Sek, sen ...." Bree urung turned in and saw his sandals on the front porch. Alby put in his shoes and Bree's shoes were not far from the door.


Since the sandals were washed not at all taken from the balcony. Even Alby prepared his shoes. Ah, yes, about going out of town what Alby's planning to do today, so come here early in the morning. When did Alby get everything ready?


Alby again held Bree's hand in sandals while looking at him.


"I had a plan to take Bri out. Should have been this morning. But Bri has not calmed down yet, yaudah afternoon let's take a walk."


"I told you to balek after I quit my job."


"I told you to anther. Can set the time now, yes as soon as possible already there is a gap."


"You're as good as you are."


"May be equally good."


Alby takes Bree to the supermarket. Asking Bree to buy necessities.


"I don't need to bring anything."


"Bri's monthly needs are running out a lot."


Damnit damnit! Alby's checking.


Alby took the pantyliner from the gondola display. Also pads. Brands and sizes used by Bree and all the large packaging are placed in a basket. There is a sense of shame the situation is crowded and there are girls glancing. It's not necessary, because Bree doesn't want to deal with Alby. But, Alhamdulillah. That's usually Alby paying.


Alby knows the ins and outs, what to stock at home and where to shop, it's not hard he leads Bree to his place.


"Bri?" Alby watched Bree shut up. "All right, I need some stuff, too."


Bree unceasingly took his needs. His toothpaste was still full and he wanted to buy again. Alby smiled at Bree this time as long as he took it without saying, That's enough, Bi, as usual. Respect form of frustration. Alby's no problem.


"There again?"


Bree observes the basket, the one-on-one thing, all the necessities are complete. Bree took another large packing pad from the basket, about to walk towards the display.


"Not to be hired, let it be." Alby prevents by grabbing Bree's hand.


"It's mostly, Bi."


Alby knows this is Bree's nature.


"Input. Want to buy what else?"


Bree shook his head faintly.


"Do you want to go upstairs?" Alby worries Bree is uncomfortable with nausea. Self-service is so many.


Upstairs to the housekeeping. Bree prefers there washing eyes. Many catches tantalize a variety of dishes, glasses, cookware. But he's still out of business because he's out of business and should still have a medical check.


"Go home, Bi."


"okay."


Alby took a sasset chocolate drink in a big package. Brown rod. Also two other types of snacks, wafer and ciki. Oh, Allah. Owe you how much Bree is after this. Pede once, it could be that for Rima. Ha ha ha ha's. Beware!


"Those drinks are coming by tomorrow."


Is Bree thinking about Rima again?


"You bought your gear out of town?" Bree was suspicious because Alby had been to the toothbrush looking for a short or folding size, and soap washing the face was also a small size. Alby usually buys big.


"Yes." Yeah." Alby did buy it to carry in Bree's toilet bag the size of a purse.


"No need to let me go home, Bi."


Alby doesn't care. Don't want to disarm. Alby asked for Bree's member card.


"Bri sit down, gih," told Alby. Cashier queue snaking.


"No way."


"Sit down, Bri."


Bree took a quick glance at the direction of the wooden chair near the ATM, near the daycare. He stared at Alby who was still staring at him. Bree stepped over there. Waiting for Alby to line up.


Dizziness. Bree felt his head uncomfortable. Her calf is already senut-senut.


Waiting for quite a long time Alby finally came with a large and full tote bag.


"The rules had brought his backpack." Bree used to carry a backpack for groceries.


Looks like greatness if put into the cantolan motor. Alby refuses Bree wants to take her. Alby tied the tote bag in the cantolan and tidied it up while it was comfortable.


"You hanging out?"


"If I go home. Please bring Rima who pantes invited."


Rima sweet girl. Her body was fresh and she looked cheerful. Rima is a confident person. What is Bree's value.


Again and again. Alby saturated the name Rima touted Bree.


As Sari did, it could be considered as resuscitating each other's mannerisms. Alby is desperate to get close to Bree and Bree is desperate to have fun with Alby. Same thing today. Bree continued to mention the name Rima, could be as reminiscent of Alby and Bree's own position. If the human is conscious. Not even blame.


Alby looked at the rearview mirror several times watching Bree still in good condition. He invited a stop at angkringan near the cafe, a place he used to both be with Bree.


In addition to the mendoan and fried bananas there is a sweet snack spring roll and steamed cake that Alby took. Banana caramel and rice ply. Usually these two snacks are not found here.


"Tumben nemu is here" said Alby. Bree's thoughts.


"Don't coffee, Bri? I'm a ginger pessen."


"Yes." Yeah."


"Don't smoke, Bri?"


Bree glanced at Alby who was putting on a smile. Seducer. But Bree can't hope for that anymore. Patience. Although the pleasure stirred.


Bree had just been able to like Alby after a long time they continued together, after Alby expressed feelings, and after Alby several times tried to convince him. Bree just wanted to try to live like a joke Sari, Ilham and Surya. It was only a matter of days before Bree finally discovered the fact that Alby's relationship with Rima was better than the five years they had been through.


***


"Not locked?" Alby is confused when Bree pushes open the door.


"It can't be locked, Bi."


Alby notices Bree's house has gone awry. Entering the house bowed because it was like a liliput house. The surface is ground, many bumps and slippery. The roof is without a ceiling and immediately precarious that can be reached by hand when standing. Looks yellow stained wall and moisturizes. Full of scratch painting of children's origin.


Alby smiled watching the wall. Is one of them a picture of Bree's childhood? Imagine how much Bree's childhood was compared to that of just two brothers. Bree always seems sad, surely childhood means a lot and he misses.


Alby exploring the house. The sofa of the deflated chair and its skin were some small tears, but it still looked neat. The closet has a foot frame planted, maybe it was also a broken down space. Look old model closet. The original teak wood. It turns out that flood water can ferociously molt everything. It is very easy to recognize this flood-prone area.


"Dirty water." Bree emerged from the back of the house.


Alby followed him out. Seeing Bree peek into a narrow gap, between the pile of bricks in the yard of this house and the connecting wall of the house next door. Alby's worried about Bree.
