Don't Want to Be Pathetic: NIGHT BUTTERFLIES

Section 75

The middle-aged man who looked at him opened the gate telling Ira to come in and park his motorbike in the garage.

There were several cars and motorbikes parked there, the woman was silent for a while when she heard the commotion from inside the house. The sound of DJ music and the people who were chatting made his feelings uncomfortable.

"Hi baby?" greet Mama Tati from the side running a little towards her.

Ira smiled at him, "This is Mama's place?"

"We're talking inside, Suleng is waiting for you there" he said, embracing Ira's shoulder.

The door opened, its steps halted when it saw such a spacious living room and the large number of people inside.

Tables and chairs were neatly arranged around every corner, occupied by several men and women in open clothes, at each table was alcohol and what Ira had suspected before was not wrong. This woman is no ordinary person. He already knew without asking, this place is a brothel*an. Who would have thought that he would come to this place now? after getting into trouble from the same place as this before.

Slowly stepping following Mama Tati, all eyes were on her. The men looked at her with smiles that Ira had understood, as well as the woman who was just speechless and some of them gave a smile as if welcoming her.

One by one foot up the stairs, Ira thought just below but on the 2nd floor there was a living room with several tables and chairs in the corner. From a distance, Suleng was sitting with a man waiting for his arrival.

"Is behind me he going to this place? and relate to others?" in her mind feeling a little upset, not afraid of losing her, but fearing she brought illness from others that would eventually be detrimental to Ira.

"Sit down dear," said Mama Tati and she and the man sitting with Suleng left.

Sitting her gaze fixed towards the corner, a petite white girl wearing a short dres stared at him cynically. Seeming to be younger than him, Ira felt that gaze was hateful, but not for him. Maybe against himself because of the circumstances and characters he is playing.

"Are you okay?" tanya Suleng looked at him.

"When am I okay?"

"I want to talk"

Ira looked at him, "What is he going to talk about?"

"I want to ask first, who's Mama Tati?"

Suleng was silent for a moment as he looked at her, "You might already know who she is"

The woman let out a long sigh, "Did she often go here? fuck*n, men can't be with just one woman!" he cursed in his heart.

"For the time being I won't be seeing or contacting you, there's a problem in the household and now I'm fixing it. If you have trouble, stay here. The woman will take full responsibility" he told Mama Tati.

The words Ira never expected, "Will she end this relationship?" it was always quiet if Suleng would not contact him, but this time it was not. What about all his needs?

"Stay here, at least here is better compared to the outside. Only certain people knew of this place, and not just anyone could enter here. I have to leave immediately, there is business. If you need anything, talk to the woman" she said, leaving Ira, who was still sitting in silence.

Ira was eager to say not to go and leave her in a place like this, but her lips were locked, she did not say a word, similarly, the body is reluctant to move from the seat as if something binds it to remain still. Maybe the man intended to leave it to Mama Tati, but Ira was hesitant because she did not know clearly how the rules there were and the attitude of the people there, what if it was worse compared to her expectations?

It would be difficult if Suleng went away from him, because at that time he had never been in contact with others. He did not know many people and it was uncomfortable to go to a place like this, but why exactly this time the man deliberately left him there? is as a thank you to Mama Tati for breaking up the fight yesterday?

Ira looked at the man's missing back in the stairs, he actually went down leaving him still. It was very exciting to scream to berate the situation, but he could only swallow his saliva.

"Let's go with Mama dear," said Mama Tati who was standing next to her.

Walking following him into a hallway leaving the living room, he arrived at a place with several doors facing each other on the right and left, there might be 6 rooms if seen from the door.

"Honey in," Mama Tati opened the empty room door, looking neat with a large window facing the street, the room was located in the front of the 2nd floor.

"From now on you can stay here" he said without asking first that Ira would agree or not.

"I'm sorry, maybe Mama was wrong. I'm not gonna stay here" Mama Tati interrupted him.

"Do you think yesterday's help didn't need to be paid? if I don't help you maybe not just the woman, but the women who are there will hurt you out of anger" he said, leaving Ira speechless.

"Let's stay here, until someone comes to see you," he said, leaving Ira alone to close the door.

Sad, upset, disappointed he feels now. Whether Suleng or Mama Tati, she felt trapped to live in that place now.

"Can't" he said, rising from sitting down to open the door of the room, not expecting, "What? not wrong?" several times tried to open the door of the room but it was locked from the outside.

"Anji*g!" throw his bag on the bed.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

Still trying to open and knock it, "Mam please don't be like this, I'm not going anywhere and why lock it?" he said with a trembling body, eager to cry but eyes were unable to let out the water.

"Blog*n!" he opened his bag looking for phone to call Suleng.

Several times the man did not answer the call until Ira's number was blocked, he sent him a message whether read or not, in fact there was no response from Suleng.

"Baj*ngan!" he said he approached the window and opened the curtains, even the window glass there was permanently locked making him hate the situation.

Outside dark, drizzle begins to drop wetting. Houses and stalls that were previously quiet now there are some people, as expected not only this house, but the place around there are also women with open clothes.

They sat on the terrace smoking and talking, beautiful faces and smooth bodies still visible even though they were under a dim light that was not too bright. On the left across the street, there is a pretty big place. A room of glass is clearly visible from the outside, Ira's gaze fixed on those who are prancing with the sound of music.

Without her guessing, a remote place far from urban turns out the center of the immoral humans to deviate. The houses and stalls that lined up at night all changed, almost everywhere there were some women sitting around waiting for who would be interested in her.

The motor car parked next to the place opened the smile of the woman there, they welcomed her guest with a joke that actually hurt her.

Duut Duut

Shifting his gaze as the phone shook, he saw it hoping for the call from Suleng.

"Host?" silent for a while staring at the screen.

"Yes?"

"Emang ka Ira nginep bring clothes? need to be tucked away?" hesti said that Ira was stunned.

"meaning?"

"There was Mama Tati deh if I didn't call her here wrong, I don't know because Ira never told you about her before. But he asked grandma for permission, a few days from the start of tonight when Ira went to his house. How do I think his clothes are? that is," Ira was silent feeling very upset, her chest felt tight wanting to shout cursing, "Mama Tati? he's even that far? set*n!"

"For Ira?"

"Hmmm, tomorrow's shirt problem. Is she?"

"Whispering really doesn't mean anything,"

"Udah, play this again," she ended her call.

"Again?" in his mind he sat on the bed and gave up on the situation, "True, there is no help without reward"
