Don't Want to Be Pathetic: NIGHT BUTTERFLIES
Section 70

With a feeling of unease, the afternoon before the Maghrib the woman went to the usual place she met Gadun using Ari motorbike.
This time he asked the man not to pick him up because there had been a lot of talk about him from other people, those who insinuate or ask directly make the woman realize that her increasingly indifferent and open attitude is precisely the cause of the problem.
If you have to say maybe his life was better when he was in a relationship with his BK teacher, they rarely met and were in touch but the man always gave him money. Even without informing her he left or transferred the money to her. What kind of woman wouldn't enjoy that?
But perhaps good fortune will not last long for a sinful woman like her, either the partner of the man who will find out or the society that is already suspecting and ultimately judgmental. Just like those who are in love with a married man, perhaps he can talk about his wife to her, but can he tell her about her? it can't be, can it?
Relationships that run outside of religious norms and rules will never survive as a relationship that conforms to norms. Like those who already know that the abyss is deep and dangerous, but they insist on walking on the edge just to enjoy the momentary beauty that will ultimately hurt him. Either those who fell and were injured, or those who were lucky and survived but had trauma.

Arriving at the beach, he immediately parked his motorbike to the corner of the garage so that when the man arrived his motorbike would be covered by the car so that it was not visible from the side.
He went down and opened the door, entered into a dark, silent room. There was no sound other than the waves.
Cteek
Ira turned on the living room lights. Everything looks neat, it seems that aunt has cleaned this house. Slowly he walked towards the room whose light was already on, then he stood in front of the mirror looking at himself.
A young woman who looks like an adult woman, because of the appearance and lifestyle she is playing.
Then he sat on the bed staring straight out the window, the light spots of the fishing boat catching fish making the dark sea look like a sky with a few stars.
Duut Duut his phone vibrated resuscitating him from the reverie.
"Yes baby?"
"Where areyou? have you seen ka Ayu?" ask Ari who called him.
"Yes, I'm still in my room. Going soon"
"Be careful, I work"
"Yes, immediately ask them not to contact or I won't contact you"
"What the hell is Mom, by the way? this too, I'll be on the phone again"
"Be careful" he said, ending the call and then from outside the sound of the car coming into the garage.
The woman went to the living room, because she knew that the man had arrived and she had asked him to bring food, especially satay.
He opened the door, "When did you arrive?" ask her with a bag of plastic food for Ira.
Sitting in front of him, he kept a plastic bag on the table, then ignited a shelf, he looked at the woman who greeted him with a forced smile.
"Eat now or later? I had a sudden job," he said, upsetting Ira a little because he disliked the thing that made him rush. But maybe it's better because it won't spend a long time with the man.
Without answering the woman looked at her watch, the time showed at 19:01, she went from her seat to her room and changed her clothes.
Adzan Isya reverberated, while waiting for the finish the woman fell silent staring out the window. Her feelings were often unsettled, but this time it was different, she even felt so poignant. I want to cry, but what is the reason? andwhy? in his mind, then he saw from the reflection of the window glass the man went into the room and closed the door.
"It seems that now you look happier with your relationship," he said, sitting on the bed staring at Ira and he realized that his previously tall, thin body was now slowly filling up, similarly, the man always found a kiss mark on Ira's neck.
"Perhaps," he answered, looking away and staring out the window.
"Your body looks better now"
Ira turned to her, "Now I don't care about anything, those who know it or not, I don't care. But now one by one the problems come because of my uncaring attitude"
"Grandpa and grandma already know?"
"Maybe they'll find out soon"
"It will happen, prepare yourself and be patient. You'll get a better job when you graduate, I'll help you," he said he made Ira speechless because he knew that the man was indeed a businessman who could probably easily make Ira work anywhere through insiders.
To shorten the time Ira immediately approached the man who had been sitting on the bed. She hugged Ira's body, then slowly opened her short dress.
In his mind he remembered having had this kind of relationship with someone, having a relationship in front of a mirror just because the man wanted to be in touch with the whole body of his woman. "Worst experience, to hell with massalu. It will soon be over, be patient," he murmured, turning his eyes away from being disgusted at what they were doing.

Ira sat down, because the man had finished it and went to the bathroom.
He covered his body which was still long*ng with a towel, then moved out of the room. Sitting in the living room, he took 2 glasses of water and opened his meal.
"Eat now?" ask the man from the room.
"I'm going to take a shower, it's okay if you're going home now" she answered.
"No going home, no work," he put some money on the table, without asking her to add it again, the man grabbed Ira's shoulder and kissed her cheek, "Take your food," he said and left.
"Thank you" he replied, still standing, looking at the man heading to the garage, after turning on his car and leaving, Ira cleaned up.
**
After she finished her bath, put on clothes, lotion, perfume, she sat in front of the mirror to dress up. Usually the woman just cleans herself, but since there was a time this time she took a bath.
Looking at the watch in his hand, time showed at 21:03 p.m. He tells ka Ayu to wait in front of the restaurant as it will meet him.
The woman went out of the room, kept the money in the wallet and wrapped the food that had been opened, she would eat it later along with her brother.
Deernnn
Ira left the house, because the distance is not too far he drove slowly while feeling the breeze that makes his hair goosebumps.
From a distance can be seen the restaurant where ka Ayu works, as well as his brother sitting in front of the restaurant waiting for his arrival.
He got up from sitting smilingly welcoming his sister, after parking the small running Ira motorbike to hug him.
"Lo's okay?" ask and sit down.
"It's closed, right?"
"New one, bring what?"
"Sate, haven't eaten yet" Ira kept it on the table.
"There's Ira," came a man's voice from behind, he turned his head and smiled, "Healthy a?" experiencing it. He is Adam Ayu's lover, they have been in a relationship for 3 years.
"Just a second!" Ayu moved from sitting walking into the restaurant.
" When will PKL Ra leave?" tanyanya sat down at Ayu's place.
"Tomorrow, this will say the same to Ayu. Ohh yeah, it used to be PKL where A?" Ira looked at the man.
"Where were you in Bandung?"
"Here," while opening the satay pack and eating.
"Bang, Bandung dong. Go to the city plus experience, there are many beautiful girls, yes definitely many guys too. Going to Bandung," he said unknowingly Ayu was behind him.
"It's your house, the purpose of the PKL is not to learn, but the girl's nyari," said Ayu sitting in front of Ira while carrying shrimp oyster sauce and crispy squid.
Ira just smiled looking at Ayu ka who was arguing with her lover, she enjoyed eating while chatting about her departure.
He says everything, the hours he works, where he lives, and what days off. After finishing eating and talking about his church Adam gave the pocket money to Ira, because Ayu was not paid. After all if his brother gave me money Ira would refuse, he had already paid half the cost of his pkl which should have been Sindi and Hesti's monthly allotments.

The woman went from sitting alone to her brother, "Rome now?" tanyanya Ayu while looking at the clock on the phone, the time shows at 22:48.
"No, tonight uh don't know. The important thing is to go home and say the same to Grandma. Want to relax first," he said to go walking towards the beach not far from the restaurant.
"Don't daydream much" he said, leaving Ira alone.
Ayu realizes she is not a good kaka, she is even difficult to understand about her feelings and what her sister is experiencing. But she could understand a little when her sister was in a state of unease and never bothered her. He learns that for Ira, there is nothing better than to contemplate all things alone. No one will understand but yourself, and daydreaming is a simple remedy for all its problems.
