Alby leaves his wife with Anika in the living room. He chose to go back to drink water. As a mouthful of water soaked his throat, he heard laughter from the house next door that was none other than Febri's. It seemed Febri was having a close conversation with the two aides of Anika.
With his own initiative, he made two cups of warm tea for his wife and Anika. And four cups of coffee.
After he finished making it, Alby delivered the two cups of tea on the table.
I was shocked when my husband put two cups of tea in front of us.
"He made Febri and Anika's aide. You may need a warm stomach."
After saying that, Alby left me with anika.
"Diminum Ka, let your stomach warm!", I said to welcome Anika.
"Yes mbak. Alby is very attentive. It should be a scramble!", chirped Anika while drinking it.
I put on a smile.
"I don't feel overwhelmed. I'm the one who thinks so!", I said casually. Anika scratched her head, so she misbehaved herself.
On the other side...
Alby brought four cups of coffee with trays, not forgetting the usual setoples of biscuits so his wife's snack and stepped his feet towards the house next door.
His sudden presence stopped the three soldiers' chatter.
"Assalamualaikum!", Alby greeted them.
"Walaikumsalam!", said the three compact.
"Mas Alby!", Febri got up from his stool.Alby placed the coffee in front of them.
"He told me!", said Alby. It can be Aa, but its own initiative!
"Oooh..!", Febri only ber'oh'saja.
"Please drink!", Alby's pinta.
"yes, thank you!", said Dimas and Seto as well as Febri.
"Repot-repot mas!", said Febri. Alby just shook his head slowly.
How about four glasses? Does de'e want to join? Inner Febri.
"Mas Alby Bete, did you hear Mba Ika's rant? He's a pomp!", said Dimas. Alby smiled again. Two of Anika's aides only admitted Alby's good looks, how did the women try???
Bayangin.... how good is trying a creature called Alby????
"Yes!", said Alby flat in the end.
"So ...mas Alby her husband Bia anyway?" said Dimas.
"Yes!", so again did Alby's reply. No need to be in the first place, right?
After that the chatter of the Adam also flowed smoothly. Not too far about the ball and the others. It seems like Alby is 'medium' forgetting that Febri had scared him if his wife turned to him.
"Considering it's night, let Anika sleep in my house only. You can rest here right?", asked Alby.
"May Ika stay at Alby's house?", asked dimas.
"Yes, instead of sleeping here with you?", asked Alby.
"Dim, tanya said it used to be the same father!", said Seto.
"Oh yeah, forgot the nyong!", said Dimas who was a native Tegal.
Dimas stay away a little bit from them all. He contacted someone called 'father' who was none other than his sakti father and Anika.
"Where? Can you?", asked Seto.
"By", said Dimas briefly.
The four of them chatted again until they heard the sound of a horn.
The sound of the car horn diverts the attention of the four men sitting on the porch of Febri's house.
A handsome man came down from the car approaching them. Although it was dark around the car was parked, the aura of his good looks was already visible.
Luckily there were only two houses in the area. Alby's house and Febri's contract. Whether if his neighbors were huddled, it was certain that they would be distracted by the voices of those gallant men.
Alby squinted his eyes, staring dislike over the arrival of Sakti here. Though it's nine o'clock at night, if in his village at this hour it's late enough just to just visit.
Why do doctors follow here? Inner Alby.
Well, youho?? Sakti hanging out here? It must be getting dopey with Alby! Febri thought that way. Especially when he saw the face of Alby's dislike when Sakti just got off his car.
"Hi??? Can you join me, right?", ask a question of pleasantries.
"Please mas!", said two of his aides. The two of them did not 'geuh' whether there was a handsome face in the bend.
"Can you be Alby? Mas Febri?", asked Sakti to the two men. Febry nodded with a smile. Alby did the same. Before that, he bent his face.
Back to the house next door!!
"And the second wife my husband is your best friend, how?", now I'm the one who throws questions at him.
"I didn't believe mba. But I told you everything. Including.he who became a witness to Silvy's marriage is the same as Alby."
"Certainly? What do you think I should do?", asked me again.
Anika shakes.
"Ngga knows mbak. Confused! How are you also the legal wife of Alby. Whether Silvy is my best friend or not. I don't know why Silvy could turn out that way. That's why I don't believe it! Be honest! I'm disappointed in Silvy. He's been making up free, lying to me who is in fact his loyal friend."
Anika held both her hands above her knees.
Ting.there are incoming messages simultaneously on my phone and Anika's phone.
[Neng, Ika just tell nginep at home. Aa, sakti, Dimas, Seto, nginep in Febri]
I raise my eyebrows. My eyes turned to Anika who was probably just as surprised.
"May you?", asked Anika timidly.
I let out a breath.
"Yes. Yes, we're talking inside! Want to be in our room or in front of the tv? I have a mattress on the floor, that's if you don't mind!"
"In front of the tv is mbak. Your room will be both of you're private. The Javanese say ora ilok!", said Anika as she stood following me.
"Sok knows you! Emang ora ilok what?", I want to ngetes his knowledge.
"Ye.mbak, gini-gini I'm Javanese. My mother's father is a blacksmith**."
"Owh.!", I just rounded my mouth.
Anika and I lay down on the bed. Weird huh?? Just met today can you sleep like this? Not knowing at all.
"Mba, actually from the beginning Silvy married I was suspicious."
"Surprisingly why?"
"In the beginning I saw Alby, ahem..honestly, Ika was also interested heheh!" said Anika. I glanced sharply.
"Weiiissssh.casual buk!", said Anika.
"Pas Silvy said that if Alby was her future husband, I was confused! How could that be?! As far as I know, Silvy has never been close to anyone. But, Silvy told me the same story. If Alby's the staff at his papa's office. But the papa agreed that they were married even though Alby was just a regular staff."
I listened to the story of Anika who was blessing her best friend.
"Keep?", my question.
"It turned out that it was Silvy who forced Alby to marry him."
Anika's face turned gloomy.
"Sorry once again, ma'am. I've said the same bad thing as mbak." She's tangling in my arms. Exactly rich kid with his mom.
"I'm sorry about Ka!", I said reassuringly.
"So feel you have mbak deh!" said Anika slowly. But I can still hear it.
"You can think of yourself as rich!"
Anika.
"Take mba? Ah.. his art!", said Anika girang. I who have never talked much with others for a long time so feel...what is the name?
anyway I'm comfortable talking to Anika.
"Try mba first want to be the same mas Sakti, we must be BESTie!", said Anika again.
I glared at her babble.
"Heheh joked mbak. But seriously, it's okay!"
"About speaking! I'm just like Sakti, just a friend. I was just a friend!"
"Yes, the end of the magic mass in the reject mulu!"
"Tau ah.. Why the hell Ika say that?"
"Ngarep aja mbak. Once aja mbak already can not be in the same honey mas Alby, Ika guarantee mas Alby is ready to be the dock of love mbak Bia."
"Astaghfiullah! It was a mouth!", I rubbed the face of Anika who was laughing crazily.
Five handsome men who were next to the house were surprised to hear the sound of laughter so loose, not as usual.
"Sakti, it has been a long time ago that I just heard about Anika ngak mba that!" said Dimas.
"What time?", asked sakti.
"Yes mas. Since the mother did not exist, mba Anika kaya less greget so live her life!", Seto assured Dimas speech.
Febri and Alby, who knew nothing, were only listeners to the three men.
