Love is Different

Chapter 39. Always Accompany

Already a week Oma in Jakarta, Oma has had many conversations with me and with Eyang Putri, Mama and Bapak. What I heard from Adi, Oma will stay a month in Jakarta. After that, Aunt Ratna accompanied Oma back to Padang. 

"R..." Call Adi while I'm sitting in front of the house.

"Why Ka?" I approached him directly. 

"Si Oma is just senile.. But it's the same Riri inget loh." Bisik Adi's. 

"What time?" My toot.

"Yes... This morning Ka Adi had breakfast with Mama Papa, and Oma nanyain Riri."

"What about Ka?"

"Where is Riri? Ya Ka Adi said Riri again at Oma's house... It's." 

"MashaAllah... Maybe because I was at Ka Adi's house a lot from yesterday. So Oma memorized me Ka..." 

"Yes kali yaa.. Oh yea.. Sunday tomorrow meet Ka Adi yuk meet Ka Adi."

"Week? What time?"

"Yeah most Dzuhur, Riri not where - where right?" 

"okay... No, the next morning I do my job first yaaa Ka.." 

"Judek.. Work first. You see, we're afraid to go home."

"Yes, that's why.. Must have gone home from the mall with Ka Adi." Ledek.

"Well, how am I a night child.."

"That's basic..." I answered while pinching his stomach.

"Ihhh don't pinch dong. It's sixpack Ka Adi's stomach..."

"Yes a diligent mangym so burly.."

"Oh yes dong..." 

"Jaudah Ka Adi is leaving first.." 

"Yeah baby.. Heart - heart yes.. It's half a day, right?" 

"Yeah.. But Ka Adi wants to see you first." 

"Just hang out.."

"Not for a moment, it's Ka Adi ngegym."

"Jude okee..."

"Daah.. Assalamualaikum.."

Adi left and I went straight into the house. 

***

"I go first Maa.. Mr.." I permission directly to Mama and Father while tidying up clothes. 

"You're praying, right?" Ask Father.

"Udah Sir.." Answer's short. 

"Judah heart - heart, yes.." Sahut Mama's. 

"Yes Ma..." 

Adi was ready in front with the car on. I immediately went out and approached him. 

"Of.. Aunties... Go ahead, yeah..." Pamit Adi to Mama and Father. 

"Who's not welcome?" Sahut Eyang Putri from the bedroom window.

"Yeahorgia... Go first yaa.. Assalamualaikum.." Adi replied, waving her hand.

"Bad.. Zakinikumsalam." Replied the Princess with a smile.

I also saw Om Budi and Aunt Ratna in front of the house.

"Of.. Aunties... Go ahead, yeah.." My broom.

"Yes a heart - a heart.." Answer Aunt Ratna and Om Budi.

"Yeah.." My answer and Adi in unison.

Me and Adi are leaving.

"Yes very exciting yaaaaa that they all saw his son go both tuh seneng so very..." Adi memgebu - gebu.

"Hahaha yes... It's the first time I've had a girlfriend next door Ka..." 

"Yes yes..." Answer Adi briefly.

"So my sister ate?"

"Udah... Ka Adi ate first. Let's not snack outside, Riri has eaten, right?" 

"Udah is too.. Many even. So that it won't be laper later.."

"Yes Ka..." 

Adi, a very calculated person. I've walked with him several times, I've never been invited to eat out. Must have eaten before you left. So I just accompanied him without buying food. But I'll spend my own money if I want to get caught. 

"R.... Later Ka Adi know the same temen - temen Ka Adi yaa..." 

"Yeah.." 

After a 30-minute journey, we reached our destination. There are 2 friends of Adi, male and female. 

"Known, this is Ka Adi's friend at school first." Adi introduced her to her two friends.

"Rendy..." 

"Relain.."

"So yesterday.."

"Relain.."

"This is Riri..." Ka Karin.

I'm just smiling. 

"So Riri lives next door to Adi?" Ask Ka Rendy. 

"Yeah Ka.. Hehe.." I answered while laughing.

"Don't you want Adi?" Ledek Ka Rendy's.

"I think I'm on a pellet Ka.." Reply meledek.

"Enak.. Ahhaha.." Adi Sahut. 

"Jude yuk.. We'll buy tickets first." Take Ka Karin. 

Me, Adi, Ka Rendy and Ka Karin went into the cinema and bought tickets. 

"duh.. I think this is a sad movie." Adi said.

"Hmmm... Don't cry.."

"No, I'm tough. But it's gonna cry too soon.."

"Pearly uuu.. I'll hug you later if you're sad.."

"Yeah.. Is there 20 grand? Add to buy Ri ticket."

"Hmm no, just a minute. Nih."

"Thank you, baby." 

"It's the same - the same.." 

After we finished buying our tickets, we went straight to the cinema. Because the film starts immediately after 30 minutes we buy tickets. Throughout the screening, Adi tried to sit close to me. Even when there was a sad scene of her crying and me too, I kept clasping her hands. 

***

"Duh, put the movie down." Said Adi in a slow tone.

"Yes the name of the film about the family is sad." Sahut Ka Rendy's. 

"I can't cry right in the end." Ka Karin.

"Udah deh cry out - nangis gini drain energy. Eat yuk.. In front is a restaurant. We'll eat it." Ka Rendy.

"Yes laper." Sahut Ka Karin's.

"Jude yuk.." Bring Adi. 

Finally we all ate at a fast food restaurant, after finishing eating Adi delivered Ka Rendy and Ka Karin one by one to the boarding house each. Then we go home.

"Thank you for your love Ka Adi.." Adi said on the way home.

"Yes the same - the same.. All acquaintances with friends - Temen Ka Adi."

"Yes, we will walk again with Ka Rendy and Ka Karin. They seem to be working in Jakarta."

"Oh yeah? This is them in Jakarta until when?"

"Yes this month they stay in Jakarta Ri."

"Oh that.. Okay okay.."

"Today is not perfect. It's a shame if it's ngegym."

"Yes, tomorrow will be right to go home from work."

"Yes, if every weekend will you want to meet Ka Adi ngegym?"

"God willing I no longer go with Mama and Mr. Ka.."

"Yes, Ka Adi, if you don't go with Mama Papa."

"OK on..."

Since we know how each other feels, every weekend Adi always invites me to go alone or with his family.
