DOOR NO.7

PART 21 - VENUE

Saturday afternoon in June..

Rainfall suddenly drenched part of the city of Bintaro.

This afternoon I am still at work, want to go home gigs because the rain has fallen.

I better hang on here. Thought..

The effects of covid are detrimental for some people. Many companies have gone bankrupt because of this outbreak.

Where pH is, more and more people are unemployed.

But I am grateful so far I still get a job and a full salary.

An hour later, waiting for the rain to stop, I decided to go home. Arriving at the boarding house I immediately took a shower, ate and did not forget to make a warm tea whose water I boiled in an electric thermos.

Sipping warm tea again, there was the sound of people knocking on the door. I saw it was the ojak.

"Kell's back?"

"Yes just got back the jak"

He walked over and sat next to me.

"For dong's cigarettes"

"That's take ajalah"

Take a cigarette that is still in the package. Honey flavored cigarette with low nicotine.

"Well, the package hasn't been opened yet, I'm opening it"

I nodded too.

"Where has his shirt been found yet?"

Ask him while lighting a match and pointing the fire at his cigarette.

"The book was also a week ago, uh, just now it's just a lot"

"Hahaha, I'm late"

Ojak scratched his head.

"Can I not?"

"Paan tuh, just ask"

"It's not free anyway?"

"Wiih ni kosan emang most the best"

Ojak ngacungin two thumbs.

"A free-meaning lo?"

My question is convincing.

"Lahiyaaa, even though the one who has it is his house under the side of the boarding house. But never come. The important thing is to pay costs do not be late if the same is addressed"

I nodded steadily.

"Why are they free, what? want to bring your guy here? take aja"

"Well, where's the jak guy. I don't have a guy Guemah"

"Yes, aja kell. Dede aja every day ko cus cus same girl"

I was quiet, not strange. Such a thing is not taboo to hear. Especially in rich cities like this.

"Lu also likes to bring girls here"

I pointed amusedly

"Wah guemah don't ask hahaha"

The guy is funny, his skin is a little black. Laughter sometimes likes to look at his teeth.

And our chatter was cut off by Joko's voice.

"Do you look like you're here, jak?"

"Waduh koko, yes here ko enter. I'm the same ukhtyyy"

I laughed wide too. Ukhty from where wkwkkw

"Jak if there is a girl, let alone there is a cigarette like to feel at home. Take a slow look at how the cigarettes run out"

Said Joko who stepped in and sat down.

"Haha gapapa cigarette, same kalem I mah"

Bener said yudi, long time will be accustomed to the word lu cave.

"Later tonight the dede ngajakin dugem tuh at the venue, you're not jak?"

Ask joko. I shut up and listened to their conversation.

"Yaaah must have followed. It's sunday night. Nyari l*nte sharia who knows dapeedd"

"Eh pea l*nte sharia where there is in place dugem. New mom tattoo is there"

We laughed this afternoon.

"Something place dugem not close again covid gini?

Much

"Some open and partially close. But the venue is still open"

Ojak explained

Ask joko

"No ah ko, tomorrow morning in"

"Let's relax again kell, I'm in the morning too"

"What time is it for you?"

Much

"Hour 7"

"Well at 5"

"Buseeet seriously?"

I'm nodding.

"Mending is at 5, usually at 3"

"Busett, what's that job?"

Ask joko

"Yes cake work, gawe pesenan for the House of Representatives with Al-Azhar"

We were also caught up in the conversation around the world of work. Then Joko asked again about his invitation to the venue.

"Let's go yuk yuk to the venue, let's exclaim there are girls. Bete the four mulu"

Because it was not good to ask joko and ojak, I finally went to the venue.

And we went to the venue. We leave at 11 p.m.

We left using a car that was driven.

The girl I do myself.

After a long time of not stepping on the night world, I was finally able to step on it again.

Last time I was with Fito.

If there's no drinks and DJ music, it's not a place to dugem his name. We were presented with music that was joked.

Tonight we're open tabble.

Four of them were donors.

I wasn't asked for a penny.

They ordered 1 package of drinks plus snacks.

Yudi began to unseal drinks that are not strange brand in the ears of some people.

The first glass he gave me, but I refused with the reason of the throat.

Yudi did not insist, either not tasty or did understand what my refusal meant.

Honestly, I do not drink because I do not appreciate.

But I promise not to drink anymore, let alone go back.

I was lazy to be honest..

Because I felt the same way about them, I finally offered to become a bartender.

"I'm a bartenderin"

I said as I picked up the bottle and the small glass.

I poured the water mixed with beer, after which I turned.

I see, their brains have already started to react.

Ojak had risen from his seat and started jogging to the rhythm of music.

Yudi, joko and dede are still sitting in their seats.

I'm not too enthusiastic let alone join a jog, just enjoy the music alone has made my brain rilex.

Entering at 1 pm western DJ music changed to Indonesian DJ music.

The DJ song I remember back then was the DJ of her song Judika.

*Love for love, you don't have to ask..

For reasons of love come and reign*

That's how kira is..

Joko and Ojak pulled my hand, inviting me to dance. But I refused it subtly.

"Oh kell, you're ashamed of that"

Said Yudi whose body started to shake slightly

"No, I'm sitting down"

"Yeah not good"

Dede

At 2pm we decided to go home dizzy..

Ojak, dede and joko go straight to sleep. While yudi down first buy fried rice.

I myself began to make up my bed and immediately woke up until morning.
