JANUARY AND MAHENDRA

24. Wardah Lipbalm.

...____________❁❁❁..˗ˏˋ 'ˎ˗..❁❁❁__________...

Mahendra awoke, as usual, to sleep in a thin lekton t-shirt and Spongebob trousers.

It took quite a long time for him to collect his life after falling asleep, scooping his face and starting to wash away the dirt in his eyes. Occasionally it will narrow when the sunlight that enters through the gap of the window.

He began to move from his minimalist bed, although Mahen's room included a spacious room he preferred to fill it with a bed that only fit for himself. In the corner of the room there are many collections of 3D Animated goods aged men who will only step 23 years.

Right after coming out of his room, Mahen was stifled to see the whereabouts of Gantari who had just taken drinking water from the kitchen. Just as his steps were halted, Gantari coughed at his own saliva when he realized that Mahen was standing in only his color pants and a lekton t-shirt mixed with his messy hair and still narrowed eyes.

Gantari had often seen the aura of a Mahendra, but since the incident last night that made the entire body of Gantari hot, somehow seeing Mahen now became creepy.

Mahen, who was just standing in front of his room, started to move, but just now he was about to take his first step, The girl had already run into the room.

"Why the hell, boy?" Mahen muttered with his hoarse voice, his outstretched hand scratching his itchy bend.

It turns out Mahen forgot what happened last night. Yes, all guys are the same.

Walking casually still with scratching his head and bend that somehow always itches when he wakes up.

Sucking fried hot corn tubs that have just been served on the dining table.

Bi Mina just shook her head to see Mahen's habits that did not change. If there is Nathan here already in make sure he will wrap Mahen's body with a holster hoping to close his brother's letter.

"Mas Mahen in the jacket" ordered bi Mina by pointing at the holster on the sofa.

"Why is bi?"

There was no morality at all for this man. This man asked 'why?'

"Okay, embarrassed dong was the same mba Gantari" bi Mina panicked when she saw Gantari coming out of her room.

Mahen chuckled, "Gak papa bi, besides Gantari has often seen me like this"

Gantari glared in surprise at Mahen's frontal speech with such a casual tone.

Bi Mina looked at Mahen and Gantari alternately awkwardly.

"Eh, no bi. It's not that."

Gantari clasped Mahen's shoulder and managed to make the master grimace.

"Sick" fights Mahen while rubbing his reddened shoulder swab. The clap of a Gantari is not a can, Mahen's shoulder is widened until it can not withstand the rapid pressure of this girl's hand.

Keep in mind, Gantari does have a small and cungkring posture but never underestimate the teplakan and teotannya.

"Lagian you say it's weird"

From yesterday it was strange.

"Well, you often see me like this. Yesterday also lo nyuciin my color pants that picture Naruto"

"That's if you're not sick, I'm also lucky kolor lo!!!" Gantari said he would not lose.

"The color screen printing section has been on peeling only still in use" continued this girl with annoyance.

"Mas Mahen, do not wear lekton so often mas Mahen often catch wind" said bi Mina advised Mahen.

"Tenak bi, if you catch a cold just ask for a Gantari scrap."

"Did, ogah!!!" Reject this girl while shivering in horror, seeing Mahen wearing lekton like this has made the fur of my nudge stand up.

"Wes wes ojo podo gelut, saiki madang!" Calls Tejo Pakle coming in from the back door.

As he grinned, Tejo approached the dining table and poured clear water from a simple clay teapot on the party glass.

"The same motor car has me steam mas, monggo want to use which one." said pakle after sipping the drink until the toilet.

Judging from the t-shirts and pakle pants that are partly wet and sweat that is pouring it is clear that he washed his own 2 vehicles.

Mahen just nodded, "just a bike cake"

"Why not use a car just so do not rain, because again the test season. Kasian will be mbak Gantari raining even sick." Advice Pakle Tejo.

"No need to pakle, Gantari besides likes to mabok if you use a car not sangu antimo because of it" ledek Mahen.

"Don't you think Elo yah is the mabokan?"

"Iihh when?"

"That's when Nathan's car, you're not diem mulu" Gantari said with narrowed eyes, "yes, right?"

"There's stelanya" elak Mahen in a low tone.

"Even, expensive cars don't use stellas! You're a tacky one" Gantari melengos. There are so many reasons, even though the same is also often in the wind of the country often riding a motorcycle.

"So usually don't have to make an effort!. I threw up all over the car." Tukas Mahen is no less nyolot.

"Sono shower, keep grooming!!" Mahen's order after spending 5 corn bakwan, bi Mina's heart intention to fry the cornbakwan for breakfast menu was even toilet first by Mahen and her husband.

"Where are you going?"

"Well, use it again, boy. Do you think to Jogja just sleeping doang? Sia sia dong Gantari I brought you to Jogja.

Gantari then grinned, moving from the dining table to her room.

After doing a fairly long bathing ritual spend about 30 minutes. Gantari never felt calm even though he was in the shower, Mahen still bothered him by banging on the bathroom door, I don't know what the purpose of this man, but honestly this man is really annoying.

Not only there, when Gantari and Mahen were still bothering him.

"Gan,?" Call Mahen who is rummaging through this girl's luggage.

"Eum" Gantari cleared her throat and was still focused on her makeup.

"Cowok, can't you?"

Gantari looked at trying to see what this man was doing.

Mahen holds Gantari's lipbalm, a strawberry-flavored wardah brand lipbalm that is a favorite of this girl. The man opened and then he inhaled deeply.

"This is what you're wearing, right?" Mahen chirps while tasting his own lips shortly after applying the lipbalm on the lip area.

Gantari Kepayang almost choked on his own saliva for the umpteenth time. Mahen is very conscious and does not forget the incident last night. I really want Gantari to hit Mahendra in the face. Why was the man so relaxed about saying such an ambiguous thing?.

"Strawberry, Sweet, I like" said Mahen after really feeling the sweetness of strawberry lipbalm. "Lo don't forget to use this again huh"

With a smile that is somehow difficult to interpret, Mahen passed by without packing back Gantari goods.

"Yesterday my lips are not pregan, now my lipbalm. Mahendra, motherfucker!". He looked at the fateful state of his lipbalm lying on the mattress. His first kiss was taken away by Mahendra.

...____________❁❁❁..˗ˏˋ 'ˎ˗..❁❁❁__________...

The city of Jogja is indeed full of warmth, so warm hot sun today is so stinging make Gantari filled with sweat on his forehead. Waiting for Mahen who did not also come out of the ATM booth, either take the money or just check the balance.

Gantari wagged her hand hoping that there would be a little wind that reduced her sweating. Occasionally it will look at Mahen in the room, until finally it is furious to choose to enter the ATM room.

"What else is it?" Tanya Gantari who was already standing behind Mahen.

"Peel up!" Mahen said with a tone of urgency, anyways this girl is strange if she asks. "You take duwit!" continue Mahen.

"Wanna see my balance?" Tawar Mahen while removing his ATM card from the wallet.

"There are no 500 grand at most"

Without responding to Gantari's remark, Mahen filled the pin without her covering it by hand. This man let his pin be known by the girl who was slowly staring at his movements.

Mahen's pin was clearly remembered by Gantari who was watching Mahendra. How astonished Gantari after knowing how much the balance of this man, 498,500,000. this girl reflexively closed her mouth suddenly opened.

"That's zero don't you add yourself, right?"

"Yes, when I write it myself! You're a freak"

"That's not ATM lo kali, lo nemu where it is. Once upon a time taper had the same person"

"Isn't that supposed to be me?"

Gantari shook his head, "lo it was always in arrears to pay Mahen's rent, always owed fried rice to Tinah ma'am, always minjem money to Lukas to buy egg rolls. I've never seen you work either"

"But I always pay, right?." Mahen simply scooped his shoulder while turning his lips, put his card back into the wallet and then left Gantari.

"Well" Obviously it leaves this girl with the question, 'where did she get that kind of money?'. Or maybe Mahen was born from a family that is?. If so, why does this man continue to owe him? Why did this man never treat Gantari? Well, this must be asked where Mahendra gets that much money.

"Snap, you wanna come with me?" Shouting Mahen who had been hanging on his cross motorbike made Gantari burst from his daydream.

Gantari quickly came out of the ATM room and immediately approached Mahendra. The man immediately put a helmet on Gantari's head. "Meet my mother first yes Gan, I took you out" said Mahendra with a small smile.

Both left the ATM area. Mahendra drove the bike casually, apparently this man wants Gantari to enjoy the trip more. Until Mahendra's motorbike stopped at one of the flower shops.

Gantari clearly immediately blushed, just the time Mahendra was again cosplayed into a romantic man.

"Nih" said Mahendra while thrusting a bucket of white Lily flowers at Gantari, the girl could only frown confused because the flowers loved by Mahendra did not match her estimates. Why did Mahendra give her a white Lily? Gantari is not dead.

"Nitip bentar" continued Mahendra as if to understand with a confused look that had been flashed on Gantari's face.

Shortly after, Mahendra continued his journey. The two chose to be silent, Mahendra did not start any conversation as usual.

Mahendra stopped his motorbike right in front of the entrance of the Tomb, then marginalized his motorbike so as not to block people from entering and exiting the tomb area.

Gantari was more confused, why did Mahendra take him to the Tomb? Then these flowers?.

"Remain" Invite Mahendra while holding Gantari's hand.

The girl just followed the direction of the man beside her, Gantari's mind was already thinking so far. Does Mother Mahen no longer exist?.

"Mahen..." Lirih Gantari when the two have arrived right next to the navel that Gantari thought was the tomb of Mahendra's mother. The man looked up and then smiled meaningfully.

Mahendra took off his grip on Gantari then turned to lower his body resting on both knees leaving his dirty black pants exposed to the ground. Gantari was still fixated, both hands tightly grasped the Lily flower that had been entrusted by Mahendra earlier.

The man's hand stretched out to clean the dried grass around the tomb. "Bun, Mahendra has promised. But unfortunately you can't see this directly"

Gantari was filled to see Mahendra who almost calmed down, he lowered his body. Then put the Lily flower right above the tomb.

"It's Gantari bun, it's Mahendra." Mahendra introduced Gantari to his mother, glancing slightly at the girl beside him.

"For otw bun, doain Mahendra" Mahendra said at the capital was so soft that Gantari did not listen.

"Hi mother, how are you?" Gantari asked his hand to pluck the dry grass.

"Hopefully always well mother, Mahendra emang nyebelin and rame really. Gantari sampe dizzy." The girl muttered, making Mahendra who was beside her laugh, heard Gantari tell a story as if he was talking directly to his mother.

"I actually also really want to mengepunahin Mahendra bund, but unfortunately also if humans like Mahendra in extinct. The universe will have no reason to laugh. There is no reason to color. Calm down, I guarantee that Mahendra is naughty I will go to the back well of the house"

Mahendra who heard the saying then chuckled, "indeed behind the house there is a well?"

"There" Gantari brief.

"I never know"

"His age was closed with Dad"

Ohalah, Mahendra beach never know if behind Gantari house there is a well.

...____________❁❁❁..˗ˏˋ 'ˎ˗..❁❁❁__________...

After a few hours they were in the grave of Mahendra's mother, the two chose to end their visit because the day had also begun in the afternoon.

The two got up, Mahendra slightly cleaned the stain on Gantari's pants.

"Gan, are you tired yet?" Ask Mahendra.

Gantari shook her head, "why?"

"You are not going to camp, hehe" Mahendra said

The girl nodded in agreement to the man beside her.

Gantari was again amazed at Mahendra who did not run out of topics, apparently this man was relieved to be able to visit his mother again. Gantari is also very happy to see Mahendra has become himself, returning to his habits. In his steps towards the exit of the Tomb somehow became felt long because indeed both of them stepped so casually.

"Mas Mahendra?" Sapa a beautiful woman carrying a bushel when passing by the two of them.

Gantari choked when she saw a man she knew was with the beautiful woman.

The man who had disappeared for the past month, the man wore a black hat to cover his hair that was a little long, the man smiled awkwardly.

"Nathan?" Gantari muttered still looking at the man holding the white chrysanthemum flower in his grasp beside the woman.

Gantari turned to look at the woman who wore a white dress that responsibility, very beautiful and calm look.

"Mas Mahen how are you?" The woman returned to voice. "I haven't seen you in a long time"

Mahendra nodded while smiling very politely, "Mahira how are you? Are you healthy mom?.

"It's healthy" the woman next to Nathan smiled.

Mahendra introduces Mahira to Gantari.

"Mas Mahen moved in here too?" Mahira asked, Gantari was clearly confused, hearing Mahira's question. Why didn't Mahendra move? What's wrong?

"No, to Jogja for holidays"

Mahira then smiled very kindly. Then glanced at Nathan who had been silent. This girl realized something.

"Bang, I go first" Nathan's voice then sounded still with his awkward smile.

Mahendra nodded.

Nathan's hand reached out with Mahira's hand to take the girl to leave Mahendra and Gantari.

"What's really going on between you and Nathan?" Tanya Gantari, the girl was already curious at the strange behavior of Nathan and Mahendra.

"Later I'll clear."

Mahendra again clasped Gantari's hand and took her out of the grave area. His grip as if not shed, he grasped it so tightly as if he did not want to let go of Gantari just like that.
