Episode 9



Executing orders, I took Khanza around the barracks and showed him a place to rest. There is nothing special about this base. In fact, I guarantee, the room that Khanza is currently occupied is nothing compared to his room in Jakarta. Moreover, he had to share a room with Mbak Egi, his bodyguard.


 


"Where's the bathroom?"


 


"Outside" I replied briefly.


 


"Huh? There's no bathroom?"


 


I shook my head, "It's not in Jakarta, doctor"


 


"When I use the bathroom outside. Trus replace the same guys?"


 


"For the girls' bathroom is in the clinic. Because there are more men here so only the bathroom in the clinic that women use"


 


Khanza rolled his eyes irritated.


 


"Washing machine?"


 


"There is only one. It often gets stuck because the engine is old. How much we prefer washing clothes at the well."


 


"Pake hand?"


 


"No. Put on my mouth" I replied the sarcasm.


 


"Pa an anyway. Also asked, too"


 


"Well, what else to wear if not hands, doctor. So look, doctor, this is not Jakarta. There is no mall, no laundry, no cafe. Right forest left forest. Electricity is common. Signal is missing. Even sometimes snakes enter without permission"


 


"Huh? A snake?"


 


"Not just a snake. Sometimes even boars, scorpions, leeches.."


 


"Stop. Don't mention it anymore. I'm dizzy with the horror. Now you check my room. Make sure my room is clean and there are no creatures like you mentioned earlier!"


 


I laughed amusedly, "Relax. Your room is cleaned. There will be nothing"


 


I stepped inside her room, opening a wooden window that blocked the entry of sunlight. The room looked brighter than before.


 


 


Khanza walked up to me who was standing by the window. He turned his face out. Enjoy the view of the green mountains that are presented in front of him. Things he could not find in Jakarta.


 


The girl inhaled deeply the fresh air at the top of this hill. Indulge his eyes with green nyiur that stretches as far as the eye can see.


 


"No wonder when was the last time I saw the scenery of kayak gini" he said suddenly.


 


"Lo doesn't know it's out there yet. Many places are even more charming than here."


 


"Oh yeah?"


 


"Lo's been to Bali, right? Bali, Lombok, Nusa Tenggara, are all on the same island group. Yeah, more or less like the nuance"


 


"really? Anyway you should take me ngedate around the island ntar"


 


Huh huh? Whahuh? The ngedate? Make me misbehave.


 


"I'm here to work doctor"


 


"Bodos. If I don't want to kiss. Wanna?"


 


I'm just blinking. Want to reject Mubadzir, want yes-in prestige. I'm waiting for the doctor again. The most hobby he made me wrong behavior like this.


 


But the girl's smile faded away instantly looking at the scene that captured both of her eyes. Behind the window were two lovebirds who were busy smacking each other's lips. For me it's an ordinary sight, but the look of disgust is clearly sculpted on Khanza's face.


 


"They're both dating?" asked the girl to me so averted her eyes from Satriya and Talitha who were fondling each other.


 


I nodded, "Lo has known Talitha for a long time?"


 


"Not to be discussed. Make sick. It's good that he's dating that mama boy."


 


"Huh? Mama boy? That is to say... Satriya sir?" ask me astonishment. Yes cook called 'boy' Talitha, it's impossible right. "Lo know Satriya?"


 


"Eh.. what? Ah, no. Not really"


 


I don't know why I feel the answer is very contrary to the gurgle on his face.
