Duhai Wanita

15. Go To Bandung

The journey from South Tangerang to Bandung is quite crowded.  Although the vehicle is quite solid but still smooth, there is no congestion. It looks like Poppy is engrossed with her snacks. He was eating a fruit salad made by his mother Budi. From that moment on, I didn't stop eating and drinking.

Jakarta radio broadcasts can not be caught anymore when they just arrived Bekasi. Only the local am radio can be caught, and most dangdut songs. Poppy trying to find a good song. A song by Rita Effendy

Parted with nu

It made me understand more

How beautiful to be together

Which I always remember

Goodbye lover

You are the love of my life

I lost you

Forever

Listen to the lyrics of the song and turn to Poppy. The food that Poppy had held in her hand, Poppy kept it on her lap. Poppy's right hand elbow rests on the door, her finger holding the temple.

The left hand finger removes the tears that begin to flow on the cheek.

Looks like this song verse makes the pregnant woman into badmood.

Quite

You hurt this heart

Don't want to repeat itself

You left me alone.

(Rita Effendy, Strait of Lover's Road )

Change the radio tune.

Choose a song.

When I decided to meet your parents

I assure you you're the best

And when you choose me who deserves you

This heart vows ‘tuk s’lalu take care of you.

Poppy turned to Budi, saw the man driving casually and his fingers tapped to the steering wheel and his lips following the song. I seem to enjoy listening to that song.

I'm sure you're the answer at every single door

Even though I don't know your name

Whisper in my bow, in the third of my night, to

Your presence completes my faith

Throw out old stories

Ragkai new story

Age together

(Rey Mayang, In One-Third of Night)

Feeling noticed Budi turned to Poppy. Then his eyes returned to the road.

“Why? Want to pee?” ask the person who is back on the road.

The position of the car is on the right in a speeding state.

“No,” replied Poppy and continued eating her snacks.

“If you want to pee, later just fit in the Purbaleunyi rest area. All prayers ashar,” said Budi with a focus on the road.

“Pak Budi, we stay at what hotel?” tanya Poppy looked at Budi who was focusing on driving.

“Mother want to stay where?” Back to asking.

“Pak Budi has not booked a hotel?” Poppy surprise.

“Not yet,” reply Budi relaxed.

“Pak Budi how, anyway? Later we do not go to the hotel,” Poppy protest.

“Take it easy, Mom. Many hotels in Bandung. Later we find something that suits Mom's taste,” replied Budi while turning on the left turn light and focus on the left rearview mirror. Slowly move the car to the left. The signboard shows the Purbaleunyi toll 500 m away.

After entering the Purbaleunyi toll road, Budi opened a window to pay for the cooler and cooler air toll. The right and left views of the toll road are more beautiful.

Budi looked at the circular watch on his right wrist, the time had already shown at five in the afternoon.

See the rest area sign 1 km away. Budi take the left lane so that the rest area is not missed.

“We go to rest area first. We pray ashar, if you wait until the hotel is afraid not to run,” said Budi while directing the car to the rest area. Find a comfortable and crowded parking space. Understand Poppy car is a luxury sedan, Budi is not possible to mark Poppy car in just any place.

Poppy gets ready to go down, she keeps the food supply to the back seat and picks up the door she put on the chair

backside. Budi first got out of the car, as usual he opened the door for Poppy and poked Poppy's head with his hands so that his head did not hit.

After closing the car door, Budi walked behind Poppy towards the mosque. Budi escorted Poppy to the place of ablution, then he went to the place of ablution of men.

“You buy something here?” tanya Budi while waiting for Poppy to wear sandals.

“No ah, already full. Later aja snack in Bandung,” replied Poppy while walking to the car park.

Just follow Poppy from behind. As usual Budi first opened the door for Poppy after Poppy sat comfortably then he got into the car. Then they continued their journey to Bandung.

Get out of Pasteur's toll gate. Poppy is asleep. The pregnant woman fell asleep after the rest area. When he stopped at the intersection of the red light, Budi woke Poppy.

“Bu, already arrived,” said Budi while patting Poppy on the shoulder.

Poppy woke up from her sleep. While pounding his eyes and yawning, the pregnant mother circulated her gaze.

“Where have you been, Sir?” poppy asked as she closed her mouth as it evaporated.

“New out toll Pasteur,” said Budi who also yawned.

“Pak Budi sleepy?” Poppy turned to Budi.

“Lumayan, Mom,” replied Budi while stabbing his eyes.

“Yes, already direct to the hotel. Magrib soon,” Poppy said.

Eventually the traffic lights changed to the green color of the car walking towards the hotel.

Poppy chose to stay at a hotel close to Pak Setyo's hotel.

“Good night, Mom. Can I help you?” greet the hotel receptionist.

“I want to book 2 rooms, for two nights. Which is deluxe and there is a connecting door,” replied Poppy at length.

“For when, Bu?” ask receptionist.

“For now,” replied Poppy

“Good, Mom. I check first, Ma'am,” said the receptionist

Budi came to Poppy.

“There is an empty room?” ask Budi.

“Not yet, being at check,” replied Poppy.

Shortly thereafter,

“There is an empty with two deluxe with connecting door but double bad, ma'am,” said the receptionist.

“It's okay. I took two rooms. All of you ask for the key connecting door,” replied Poppy while taking the wallet from her bag.

“Hire a room on whose behalf, Bu?’ ask receptionist.

“On my name, this is my ID card,” replied Poppy while handing over her ID and preparing her payment money.

After finishing check in Poppy and Budi headed to the room. Deliberately in search of a room with a connecting door to keep watch for fear of anything with Poppy, let alone Poppy is pregnant.

After bathing and praying magrib, Budi invited Poppy to eat outside.

“Mother, cape no? If we cape in the room,” asked Budi from the connecting door while waiting for Poppy to get ready.

“No, Mr. Budi. Anyway I want yamin baso,” replied Poppy while slinging her bag and walking out through the door of Budi's room.

*********

Sunday night in the city of flowers is quite crowded. Many cars and motorbikes pass on the highway. On the Asian-African road many young people are self-sufficient photos along the Asia-Africa road, causing the trip to be somewhat stagnant.

Poppy rubbed her stomach.

“Stay far, Mr Budi?’ poppy asked as she rubbed her stomach.

“A minute, Mom. But this is stuck because many are photos and cross the road,” Budi replied while focusing on the road because many people passed by crossing the road. After passing through the plaza of the city of Bandung, the road runs smoothly and reaches the destination.

“Alhamdullilah finally arrived,” said Budi.

As usual Budi went down first and opened the door for Poppy. They walk side by side towards the baso seller. They're lucky the bassist hasn't closed. Because according to Google, the baso sales that they are headed to close a quarter of an hour ago. Indeed, the windfall when they reach the baso seller has not closed.

Poppy ordered yamin baso and mixed ice.

“Bu, it's late tonight stomach pain when eating mixed ice,” said Budi reminded Poppy.

“Once in a while, Mr. Budi,” replied Poppy.

Hearing Poppy Budi's reply only sighed.

Bumil mah free, whispered Budi in the heart.

Soon their order came.

Poppy really enjoys yamin basonya.

“Enak Pak Budi's. Do you know where there's such a good baso? Though the way went inside,” asked Poppy while sipping yamin sauce.

“Then, if you go to Bandung, you often take baso here. Actually forgot the place. So it's the same as google,” replied Budi while enjoying baso noodles.

”Oh ..........,” said Poppy while nodding.

They continued their food quietly.

After the meal, Budi went straight to the hotel. He does not offer a pregnant woman for a walk for fear of soy sauce.
