HEY JUN

81

The table with the number 18 is still inhabited by Juna people and friends. They have been there for two hours, telling stories while enjoying the treats served by Andika.

Andika as the host seems to really spoil two guests who are his old friends. Although Juna had repeatedly forbidden Andika to serve food again, Andika still told the chef in the cafe to cook.

Countless how much food has been served. Juna's stomach was even bragged, staring at the food Juna was unable to. Andika is like a fidelity to serve food in unnatural quantities. Did he not lose ?

Kringg...

Juna's phone rang. Their conversation stopped. Juna frowned when he saw the name of Mr. Udin plastered on the screen of his phone. He immediately scrolls the green button to answer Mr. Udin's call.

"Hello, Mr. Udin! What's up?."

"Hello, Mr May! Sorry interrupting! This is someone looking for Mr. May."

"Search me? Who?" ask Juna wonder.

"I don't know, sir. The guy doesn't want to mention names. Two weeks ago I was here, too, but Mr. May wasn't there."

"What man is a woman?."

"Woman, sir."

"I'll be there soon."

Juna immediately hung up his phone. He had to pay his respects to Andika and Lia. Actually Lia doesn't want Juna to leave. He still wants to talk to Juna. Long time no see Juna makes Lia curious about the journey of his life. Lia did not hesitate to block Juna's hand so that he did not move away.

Thankfully, there was Andika. Lia's cousin managed to persuade Lia. They promised that tomorrow they would have lunch together at Scholar High School. More precisely Bu Udin stall which became the place of memories of the three of them.

Pim...Pim....Pim...

The sound of Juna's car horn sounded. He said goodbye to Lia and Andika. Cars drove slowly, breaking up damaged roads along highways.

Thirty minutes later, Juna had already arrived at Scholar High School. He saw Mr. Udin standing in front of the gate. Juna gave a rough sigh. The sky was dark and Mr. Udin was still on duty.

The middle-aged man should have finished his duties by three this afternoon. However, since there is a guest for Juna. Be Mr. Udin should add hours of work. Mr. Udin was worried that guests who wanted to meet Juna would be lost because of roughness. Because in this village there are very few lights if it is night.

"Sir.." said Juna. He felt bad to see the tired face of Mr. Udin.

"The camera was waiting in Mr. May's room" Mr. Udin told reporters.

Juna nodded. He then took Mr. Udin into his room. The school is empty, the guests who come are also women. Juna does not want to arise various slanders that can damage his good name. Bringing Mr. Udin is the best solution, although later Mr. Udin will eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Please, Mr. May! The guest was waiting" Mr. Udin invited Juna to enter first.

"Juna....."

The two Netra Juna were patterning when the female figure who was his guest ran towards him. The woman hit Juna's body, hugging tightly, not forgetting the cry that immediately broke when Juna.

Juna was frozen. He let her finish her crying first. While Mr. Udin, he chose to bow. Facenha extinguished seeing the romantic actions of two people who are different gender.

"Juna.., sorry."

With tears streaming down Atha's cheeks, the woman immediately went to Madura when she got a call from Mr. Udin. Atha doesn't care if his service hours aren't finished yet. He just wants to meet Juna and apologize as soon as possible.

"Why are you here?" ask Juna wonder.

"I'm catching up with you, Jun. I've been looking for you everywhere. To Sanjaya corp's office, to Scholar High School. But.but you don't exist" said Atha.

Juna scrunched his forehead. He did not understand why Athalia was looking for him.

"Sorry, Jun! Pardon me! I've left you. I wasted you. I deserve you to be punished. Please forgive me! We start again from the beginning. We're building our house from scratch."

The faces of Mr. Udin and Juna were both shocked. Hearing the household word that Athalia said made the two men confused. Juna turned to look at Mr. Udin, while Mr. Udin only shrugged his shoulders.

"Wait, Atha! Whatchu mean? You got anything wrong with me? Wrong what? And what household should we build?" juna asked confusedly.

"Junaa.... You you? You you? You don't think of me as your wife?."

"WIFE????."

Mr. Udin involuntarily shouted, the effect of being shocked hearing Atha's sudden confession. Aware of his mistake, Mr. Udin immediately shut his mouth. He was worried about screaming again.

"Take me, Juna! Answer it! You don't consider me your wife anymore? You got an affair here? Or are you remarried to a teacher here?" yelled Atha hysterically.

"Eh, Atha! Ma'am.bu. I am not married anymore. I also have no affair" said Juna nervously. He hesitated to tell the truth.

"Then why are you confused, Jun?" ask Atha wonder. Behind Juna saw Mr. Udin also preparing his ears.

"I...i.m.I just forget that I already have a wife" said Juna innocently.

Her name is also Juna. Two weeks in Africa made him too comfortable playing with the animals. He forgot that he was a husband who was having problems with his wife. Juna looked down embarrassed, glimpsed by Mr. Udin who showed a flat face.

Mr. Udin could only shake his head. He patted his face while cursing in his heart. How can anyone forget to have a wife? Is it because not being cheated every day is like that?

Really Mr. Udin can only stroke the chest. He was absolutely amazed by Juna. Mr. Udin never thought if Juna's reaction like that. If only not the owner of the school, surely Mr. Udin smashed Juna's face with his legendary sandals.

Mr. Udin chose the pamphlet. Juna gave several hundred thousand bills to Mr. Udin as overtime money. Again, Mr. Udin was amazed. All this time, he never got overtime. Netra Pak Udin immediately shone brightly. He who had just cursed changed to say thank you and immediately raised his feet.

"June..."

"Hum..."

"You forgive me?" ask Athalia worried.

"Emmm..mmm...."

Juna thought again because he also forgot about Atha's mistakes. Not wanting to take a dizzy, Juna immediately nodded. Nodding Juna's head was immediately greeted by a close hug from Athalia.

'Sound! Why do I feel the plates huh?' mummified Juna.

***

Juna opened the door to his house. He entered followed by Athalia who followed from behind. After meeting in Juna's study, Juna takes Athalia home. It's night, the situation at Scholar High School is also a complete disaster.

Juna decided to go home. He thought his wife needed a break. The Jakarta-Madura trip certainly drained his energy. Juna also suspected that his wife had not eaten.

"Bandah! I'm going ahead to buy food. Usually at this hour many older brothers wagon hanging out near the patrol post."

"Where's the bathroom, Jun?."

"In every room there is a bathroom. You just choose where to shower" said Juna while showing the location of all the rooms with his index finger.

"Oh, yes! Did you bring a change of clothes?."

Atha shakes.

"I came straight here when Mr. Udin called me, Jun. I only carry my wallet and my phone" said Atha.

"Then just wear my shirt. There are no women's clothes here because you've never been here before."

Juna walked towards his room. This time Athalia again followed Juna. Juna opens his wardrobe and chooses a t-shirt that his wife might be able to wear.

"It! But his subordinates are not there" said Juna and strangely his cheeks blushed when saying that.

"I'm wearing Jun's shorts, your shirt is big too. So it doesn't matter."

"Bandah! I'll buy food."

"No need, Jun! I'll just cook" refused Atha.

"What would you cook if there was only ice? I've never stocked up on groceries here. I always buy" Juna said.

"Sorry, Jun! From tomorrow I will cook for you. I'm going to the market to buy groceries" Athalia said sincerely.

Juna nodded. He then rushed to leave Athalia in his room. Juna gave his wife time to clean up and change clothes while he would go to the patrol station to buy food.

Thirty minutes later, Juna had already returned home. He bought two packs of fried rice. Seeing Juna coming, Atha hurriedly approached and picked up the food wrapper that Juna had brought. Atha immediately moved to the plate and brought it to the dining table.

"I don't know if it feels right on your tongue" Juna said as Atha tried to feed her food.

"I'm not picky about food, Jun. Everything must be good as long as it's not raw."

Juna nodded. They eat in silence. Whether due to his fullness or Athalia, Juna becomes unappetizing. Usually he will devour the fried rice that he bought at the patrol post. Juna felt the fried rice this time was bland. He only ate five mouthfuls and put them back.

"What's up, Jun?" atha asked when she saw Juna finish his meal.

"It seems I'm full. I ate at Andika's cafe. You just continue eating it. I'm gonna take a shower first."

Juna immediately walked away. He left Atha in the kitchen. Juna rushed to the bathroom, cleaning his body that had been sticky due to activities all day.

After taking a shower, Juna came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel around his waist. He saw that his nightgown was available on the bed. Juna immediately picked it up and put it on. It must be Athalia who prepared her nightgown.

After getting dressed, Juna went up to the bed and laid down his body. He looked at the ceiling of his room. Daydreaming, that was the thing Juna was doing right now.

'I am why? Why did I forget I had a wife? It seems like I've been playing too much with wild animals to forget my real life. I honestly feel awkward with him. It feels strange to have her presence here. Should I throw him out? But she's not my wife? I'm confused how?'

"Junaa...."

Athalia's head poked slightly behind the door. The call of Athalia made Juna wake up from his daydream.

"Can I come in?" ask Atha doubtfully.

"just enter. Come here!" Juna patted the spot beside him. He gave the code for Atha to sit in that place.

Embarrassed, Atha got on the bed. He sat leaning against the wall because it was not good after eating directly.

"You want to sleep, Jun?" tanya Atha opened the chat again.

"No. I just want to break it down. Oh, yes it looks like tomorrow I'll take you to the city. We're going to the market to buy your groceries and clothes too."

"Why go to town, Jun?."

"Because nobody here sells clothes. If it's just groceries, we can buy it directly from the farmer or in a small shop."

"June..."

"Hmm?."

"Can I stay here?" ask Atha doubtfully.

"Who are you?" Juna asked back.

"I'm your wife, Jun."

"If you're my wife, please stay here! Where is there a wife who cannot live in her husband's house?."

"You still pissed at me, Jun? I'm sorry I left you when we were in Paris. I'm sorry if I haven't been a good wife to you."

"Forget it!" said Juna.

"Forgetit?."

"Yes, forget. Because I've forgotten all your faults."

"We started from the beginning, Jun. I promise to be a good wife to you" said Atha.

"No need to promise. Give me proof! I seem to be sleepy. Please turn off the lights if you want to sleep" Juna ordered. He turned his body to the right side.

Atha let out a long breath. He did what Juna told him to do. It seems that Atha must be patient with Juna. It was her fault, however, that she ignored her own husband.
