"Come, in. We're talking inside, "take Jupri with Setya and Rizki, who are still standing in the doorway.


They entered the house of Mr. Jupri, and sat on a bamboo chair located in the living room of his house.


"Sonya, and Nak Rizki, what do you want to drink? Let me make you." Mr. Jupri offered.


"No need, sir. We just had a drink. Yes, Setya," refused Rizki smooth, while looking at Setya, so as to refuse the offer of a drink from Mr. Jupri. Because to be honest, Rizki is still suspicious of Mr. Jupri. He was afraid that Jupri would harm him and Setya.


"Eh, yes, sir. No need to drink. Just sit here. We have so much to ask you." Setya who immediately understood the code given by Rizki, then prevented Jupri sir to serve drinks to them.


"Oh, yes, I have. You understand." Mr. Jupri nodded his head, as if he knew about Rizki being suspicious of him.


"Well, you're gonna start telling me about the father, and the coach." Not waiting for Setya to ask, Jupri immediately opened the topic about Ratih, which was the reason for the arrival of these two young men to his home.

*Ratih and Jupri's youth flashback*


"Oh, yes, my letter yesterday is about to arrive or not, yes, Jupri?" Ratih, who will send another letter to his family, asked in advance about the letter sent earlier to the post office employee.


"It has been brought with the courier, has arrived perhaps. Want to send again?" jupri asked Ratih, who was now sitting next to him.


"Yes, I miss my mother very much" said Ratih with teary eyes.


"Why don't you just go home for a second?" jupri's proposal to Ratih who seems to miss his mother very much.


"Where I'm allowed to go home. I've been entangled here, Jupri. I'm very depressed to be honest. But, for my family's sake, I have to endure." Ratih explained to Jupri, who actually already knew about the life of Ratih.


Ratih and Jupri are best friends, since Ratih often returns to the post office where Jupri works, to send letters to his family in the village. Ratih's playful attitude, and easy to get along with others, makes Jupri comfortable making friends with him. Likewise with Ratih, who saw Jupri was a good listener for him, making Ratih make Jupri a friend for him. Remembering, that Ratih did live far away from his family. And in a big city like this, only Jupri is the place to moan.


"Just get out of there, Ratih. I have reminded you repeatedly. Just find another job." For the umpteenth time, Jupri advised his best friend.


"Udah, you don't have to talk about it anymore. I'm afraid you're the one who was hurt by those people. Here, I bring you chicken porridge. I bought it at the end of the road there. Buy it with halal money really, take it easy," he continued, while thrusting a package of chicken porridge on Jupri.


"What the hell are you, by the way. Did I ever ask you about the status of your money if you bought me something? You're a weird girl." Jupri softened his head, which was accompanied by a small laugh from the girl in white.


"Here, how fitting, I haven't had breakfast." Jupri then snatched the package of food brought by Ratih.


"Jupri, yesterday, the boss' mom brought a new kid." Ratih told Jupri who was eating chicken porridge that he brought earlier.


"Well, continues? Why report to me?" ask Jupri wonder.


"Ih, you are! She's beautiful, you know. 'The price' is also expensive, said the boss. You don't want acquaintances?" Ratih who is enthusiastic about telling stories, actually getting led by Jupri.


"Well, whoa. Means now, there's a rival of yours dong. You're no longer the most beautiful, right there. Haha." Jupri continued to laugh at Ratih, and made the girl make a funny expression on her face, which instead made Jupri laugh even more.


"Huh, you're just pissing me off. I was going to taunt you, and you even turned around to mock me." Ratih who was still pushing his lips, now turned his back to Jupri.


"Cup.cup.cup. Don't sulk, yeah, my beautiful best friend. Here, here. I was just kidding, really. You're that, still the prettiest in my eyes." Jupri persuaded Ratih, while stroking the beautiful hair of the woman in front of him.


"Hm. Yeah, deh. I'm not angry, though. Hehe. Yes already, yes. I'm going back there. Later mute boss mom. Cerems." Ratih got up from his seat, and intended to return to his place of work.


"Yes, honey. Be careful, yes," Jupri teases Ratih.


"Bas naughty, you." Ratih pinched Jupri's arm, and immediately stepped away with his umbrella.


Jupri smiled looking at the shadow of Ratih who had started to move away.


"But I really love you, Ratih," Jupri said.
