Gathering

Ting tong's..

" Hello bi Ijjah. How are you doing? Annie's there?"

"Eh. den Thomas.. Good news den.. Lets.. Please enter den. Non Annie's in the upstairs room. auntie calls ya den."

Looks like there's a guest. Hm.. is it possible that Anton has come home?

"Non, there's den Thomas up ahead. Non Annie wanted."

"Mas Thomas has gone down the ship??? Yes bi. thanks. Please make me drink bi..."

"Good non. "

Ah. mas Thomas. I miss him very well.

" Thomass.... Annie misses... When did you get off the ship? Usually I go home for 3 months why is this up to 6 months just come home?"

Hm... A warm hug Thomas I've always missed... Thomas is 39 years old. A sailor who lives very well established. He worked as a ship mechanic serving in the UAE. I think of him as my own brother. We were friends since childhood. Thomas's mother was my mother's best friend. He protected me every time my mom scolded me. As an only child I was lonely. But Thomas was always there to help me whenever I needed him. Even when I was 35 years old we were still friends. The 4-year age difference made me feel comfortable telling her about my home life. He understands me and understands my every problem. I know both his wife and son.

"Yes Annie. Mas also kangen.this time mas follow a strict company. The replacement of the new mas came last month, so the new mas can get off the ship after the replacement comes. "

"Annie kangen knows... Uhh.. Where is Sinta's sister not following?"

"Sister Sinta again take care of Bram. a bit fussy earlier he. Played in gamezone"

"haha.. nice that. know his father came home so taxed. Where by for me? I promise to buy me my favorite perfume and earrings."

" It's a mas bring... "

" Ih very good mas.. thanks ya... muahhh.."

Ehem...

Who'sisthis? middle-aged man of Thomas's age. Ganteng looks perlente. the smell is macho very sturdy and looks very authoritative.

" Hahaha. Annie's introducing this captain to the gold ship. He considers him a brother. His name is Tyo we happen to always be a joint task and coincidentally the same ketrima in this company. "

"hai annie. I'm tyo. I'm a magelang native. this happens to be to semarang because I have to take care of some letters in shah bandar.so with thomas to take care. then thomas invited to stop by here. "

" oh, how many boys?"

" two. unfortunately women all. if annie how many sons?"

Thomas widened his eyes and looked at tyo.tyo who did not know what looked confused and shrugged his shoulders. Annie also answered as usual in a joking tone even though her heart was sore and she regretted having to ask about the stale child in tyo because she knew for sure the same question would be asked.

" i double mas. but still single. hahaha..."

"meaning?"

Thomas immediately interjected so that tyo would not discuss about it anymore.

" Annie where to drink, mas thirsty. "

" Oh yeah, Annie said yes. "

Bi Ijjah came to bring a drink for them and they continued a very pleasant chat. Annie looks very comfortable chatting with Tyo and they also exchange mobile numbers.

After lunch and chat until 3 hours Thomas and Tyo decided to go home.

" Annie, we went home first, yes, your sister called me and told me to buy spring rolls for you. The afternoon's hanging up the shop."

" Yes, greetings to my sister."

Annie looked at Tyo. Looks like Tyo really likes and admires Annie. From their talk Annie looks very mature in Tyo's eyes.

"Thank you for Annie's lunch. Your cooking is so good. Can we send each other a message after this?"

"Same as Tyo. It was nice to meet you. Of course we can keep sending messages. Please stop by the house if mas again in Semarang. Greetings to his wife and daughter. "

The arrival of the two of them made Annie feel happy. He no longer felt as lonely as he usually was.

Tyo... Why did my heart stop beating when Tyo looked at me earlier. They've only been home for 5 minutes but it feels like they're missing... Ah crazy you Annie.. You've been telling. stop fantasizing that no and don't covet someone else's husband!!!
