Grasping Taste

Old Habits

Sabda glanced back at the clock that was coiled around his wrist. It's five o'clock in the afternoon. Taking a deep breath, Sabda leaned her tired back on the oversized chair.

Trying not to care, but still he thought about the state of Aruna. The man who had now folded his shirt arms walked out, left the room and headed for the lobby.

"Pita, how? Have you given my order to Aruna?" ask Sabda while standing near Puspita who is sitting behind the sales counter table.

"Already, sir." replied Puspita. The girl was actually curious about the girl she met at the clinic. I don't know, 'what's the relationship between the two?' that question was already in the mind of Puspita.

"What's he saying?" ask the Word so briefly. He was used to short sentences. The word does not speak too much.

"Just thank you." replied Puspita, the girl looked at the Word with admiration. Although every day meet, but rarely can chat like this time to his superiors.

Without saying anything the Word turned around and left Puspita. The man who did not talk much walked past several cars displayed in the office lobby. The man stepped hurriedly towards his motorbike which was in front of the car showroom.

The word also honks to the security who set the road, when he will leave the office area. The man standing by the roadside nodded respectfully as Sabda passed by.

Aruna, Sabda decided to look at Aruna's situation. The man who is now on a motorcycle that is speeding with nimble just want to make sure if the girl is okay and there is a family that accompanies.

Sabda stopped his steps, he tried to see the situation inside Aruna's room from behind the window. It turned out that Aruna was with a guy she had seen coming out of the girl's boutique.

Seeing Aruna's laughter and the girl's much better state made Sabda decide to just leave. He felt no need to worry about the state of the girl.

The Word's pace is now slowing down. He doesn't care and doesn't care. He should have been relieved when the girl was there to guard. But, for some reason something stuck in his heart.

"Come on. It's probably because I haven't confirmed the situation" muttered the Word by stepping into the parking lot.

The man reached for his cell phone, calling one friend at a time. Sabda intends to invite his best friend to go to the club later tonight.

Before meeting at the club with others, Sabda chose to meet with Hendriko first. Sabda also drove his motorbike through a fairly crowded road that leads to Hendriko's apartment.

It was last time he was at a nightclub when he broke up that someone he loved left him. Memories that enough to make his heart throb the pain again shadowed .

Maddened. Every time he remembered it he was getting crazy. It was a feeling that made him freeze and gave him no chance to start again.

Aruna was so hard to close her eyes. He saw Tita who was still smiling, staring at the screen of her phone. He believes that Tita is replying to her lover.

"I can't wait to go home, Ta." said Aruna immediately made Tita look at him. He realized that he was a little indifferent to the person whose intentions he was accompanying.

"Patience, Run. Just counting the hours. I can go home tomorrow too. Mending you sleep." continued Tita. He knew Aruna was the hardest to be asked to stay.

"i can't sleep, Ta. I don't know, why my heart feels melow." explained Aruna. her heart is so restless many feelings are fused in her heart.

"Why?" tanya Tita then put down her phone and walked over towards Aruna.

"Not knowing either, si." chirped Aruna.

"Ah, your basic habits are not clear. So do not need to nyimpen-nyimpen that is not clear in the heart. That is, I'd be unstable." nagging about it, a little annoyed if Aruna had been like that.

"O Allah Tita, your whole self says I'm labile." shebik Aruna, her face then looked the other way.

"Well..you mean, lo? " press Aruna.

Tita just sighed with both her shoulders. It feels too complicated to explain. For Tita Aruna does need counseling for matters of the heart.

"The point is you have to give Mas Abi the green light." Hearing the words of Tita replace Aruna who glared. The girl was astonished at Tita who was so sure of Abimana.

" Are you not sure Mas Abi likes you?" ask Tita. Aruna berlahan shook her head to make Tita more and more anxious.

"Yes, he's paying attention to me. But he never expressed love, asked to date or get married. Then what can I do? And how should it be? What if I misunderstand, the truth is that she has a boyfriend?" Aruna tried to explain what she was thinking.

"You're all grown up, Run. There's no more time for shooting or anything." Tita explained.

" I don't want to misunderstand either. I don't want to, uh it's just my feeling." replied Aruna.

Tita's getting pissed off. For the girl who sighed many times, holding back the anxiety, Aruna was too stiff, too sacky to respond to someone's attention.

" Already, mending us to sleep, tomorrow you go home I also have to work" said Tita, according to him it is better than returning to argue with Aruna.

Aruna smiled, then she let herself obey Tita. He knew that Tita was already upset.

Aruna fell silent, then wrapped around Tita who had started to close her eyes on the sofa. Aruna's mind began to wander, digesting the words Tita said for her to counseling.

I don't know if he needs it or not, but there is a part of his life that has been hurt. That is, when accepting the fact his father married and betrayed his mother.

At that time, he was really very hurt, seeing the two people he loved had to separate. The sadness greeted him again, even though both of his parents were dead.

Aruna rubbed the wet corner of her eyes, she always hid the pain of the separation of her parents including with Tita.

With Hendriko, Sabda stepped towards someone who waved his hand. He was greeted by Bagas and Nathan.

" How are you?" Say hello to his two friends. They then shook hands, before they sat down at one of the tables.

"What is this wind that's coming up and taking us to the club?" nathan asked who was very curious because no matter how many years, the Word like throwing away some habits after the departure of someone who is very meaningful in his life.

"Perhaps, he has finished his meeting on the outskirts of the city which is quite quiet and silent." replied Bagas, half-literate Word who was still silent.

Sabda did choose a small housing in order to remove habits and some memories from his past story.

"Don't poke it like that. The word comes here because it needs entertainment because it is rejected by a girl." said Hendriko who immediately got a sharp gaze from the Word. Actually Hendriko just guessed.

The mature man seemed to be evasive about all what Hendriko said. He felt that this time Hendriko was very nervous.

"really? Who's the girl? We were so curious if there was a girl who could get you out of the hermitage." ledek Nathan who then seasoned other laughter.

The word was still calm, he let his companions mop up as they pleased. He really only needs a friend who can throw away his confusion between the time he deliberately spent.
