Ms. Dorky
Love Barrel
The semester break began, but only a week Laras was tired of dying. Laras work during the holidays is monotonous, cooking, bathing, eating, cleaning, there is little difference when struggling with Apin.
“Makin bent aja his face” scolded Sri when he saw Laras uring on the sofa.
“Udah, if kangen meet aja”
“Whose window?” reply Sewot barrel. Sri shrugged, needless to explain he knew very well Laras was kangen Dano, but yes her name is a girl of high self-esteem Laras, until her own distress held back her gala feelings that wanted to explode out.
“When you used to work in Manda a month, Dano often came here to help me clean house” Sri's story from behind the dishwasher. Laras looked up.
“Dano?”
“Iya”
“...”
“Ra”
“...”
“Ra!”
“H-hah?”
“Don't suddenly budeg”
“You don't make up stories, do you? Really Dano? A class of Dano willing to volunteer to help clean the house? He's a moron or a bego?”
“Both and all of that happened because of Laras Keshwari Adiratna, daughter of Mr. Susanto. You're the same Dano, what's the matter? How come you don't want to talk? Dano cheating?”
“I also hope that Sri” reply Laras weak. His phone vibrates, there is an incoming message from Rakai that invites him out but is quickly rejected. Strange, even though Rakai has clearly shown his interest in Laras but the girl's heart is still fixed on Dano.
Instead of entering a cell phone, Laras just looking for Dano number. The hot weather made Laras' mind go awry and without thinking twice his fingers pressed the call button. Only about a few seconds the call was connected, but not Dano's voice, but Yanti's voice.
[Hello Neng Laras? Bentar ya neng. Dano is vomiting]
Laras surprised. “Dano sick? What pain?”
[GARD]
“Hah? GERD?”
[Yes neng, same vertigo too]
“Not taken to hospital?” The barrel panicked.
[Say Dano doesn't have to]
“What?..I'm there mbak.”
The call was immediately switched off, Laras hurriedly picked up his wallet and jacket. Stupid time he has not had a bath, Dano GERD, vertigo, and vomiting but does not want to be taken to the hospital. What if the guy dies?
“Sri I go first, behind it late” said Laras frantically ran out.
Yanti put Dano's phone back on the table with an astonished expression. “Neng Baras phone, he said he wanted to come here” reported to Dano. Dano's eyes were round in surprise.
“Seriously? Ma'am said what to Laras?”
“I said Mas Dano is sick. Udah mas, I take the porridge again, it's my stomach remedy I put on the table” saying Yanti stepped out. In his heart he astonished at Laras. GERD and vertigo are cool medical words for heartburn and dizziness, at least that's what Yanti learned from Rudi when chatting three days ago.
“Basic teen drunk in love, panikan if her lover is sick” muttered Yanti.
...*****...
Laras stood in front of the fence of Dano's house, until two times the bell rammed Rudi's face appeared.
“Search Mas Dano ya mbak? It is in” said Mr. Rudi without further ado, Laras smiled clumsyly to apologize.
“Mbak Yanti” call Laras when entering the house, the middle-aged woman appeared with a dirty laundry basket. The barrel frowned, for the size of the child of the owner of the hospital, household assistant Dano looks very relaxed.
“Yeah Neng Laras, how did it just appear? Busy learning so do not want to play here?” yanti girang.
“Dano where mbak?” tanya Laras without further ado does not want an impromptu kangen meeting with Yanti to last long.
“Tuh in the room, discharged I feed porridge”
“No need to take it to the hospital?”
Yanti shakes. “Mas Dano won't. Part of GERD same vertigo doang.”
Barrel glaring. “Mbak, I am not a medical person, but once I GERD that if not treated can be a dangerous problem for the stomach, let alone Dano to vomit so. Continued vertigo should also be checked, not a serious symptom anyway, but I worry vertigo Dano relapse in the moment not right, like again driving or climbing the tile, if he accident how?” said Fiery barrel.
Yanti's forehead frowned with an innocent look. “Own Neng Laras. GERD I mean it's an ordinary ulcer, Dano mas late to eat but I already love promag, ater also healed like usual. Keep saying Mas Dano he's dizzy thinking of life, yes it's vertigo.”
Baras bengong, where did Yanti learn such a medical language?
“Kalo late eating called ulcer or GERD, dizziness vertigo, liver pain. I'm really, right?”
Laras is getting bigger.
“Udah neng, samperin aja Mas Dano above, again play PS kayaknya” said Yanti cuek. Inner Laras berated, he could have deceived Yanti and frantically came here. But already confused, inevitably Laras nodded and then returned to Dano's room, deliberately he chose the stairs to calm his sudden heartbeat pounding uncharacteristically.
Basic Yanti!
One breath Laras sounded. Relax Ra, relax, you just meet Dano, not meet the president of the United States, no need to be nervous! inner Laras calms.
Two taps were heard until the door opened. Laras looked up as soon as he saw Dano, the man's appearance was disheveled with a hoodie and futsal pants. Dano's face also looks a little limp, probably because it still hurts.
“H-hai..” greet Laras nervously, Dano looks at him carefully then shifts giving room for Laras to enter.
“Here is not papa”
“Oh yaudah, you stand here, I fall on the bed. My stomach still hurts. If you want to talk yell aja” said Dano kalem make Laras relented and entered. Just as it used to be the room still looks attractive in the eyes of Laras, although it is a bit messy due to the wipes and dishes on the floor of the room.
“I'm here because Mbak Yanti said you are sick” tell Laras without asking.
“Cuman maag ordinary” reply Dano sat on the mattress, his eyes staring at Laras standing clumsy in front of him. Dano's hand patted the space next to her. “Sit here, the floor has not been cleaned.”
Laras. “Sick you how?”
“Udah meningan”
“Oh”
“You've eaten?”
“Udah.”
Silent. Because now Dano is sitting opposite Laras, it does not appear that he will talk actually seriously staring at Laras to make the girl careless.
“If you're better, I'll go home to deh”
“My stomach is still painful. Here aja, accompany me until I recover” hold Dano pull arms Laras.
“Kalo so when does it heal?”
“Lama. I'm here first, where the hell is fast?”
“Bantuin Sri masak”
“Alesan aja you”
“Yeh does not want to help Sri cook, if for example we are hungry because there is no food how?”
“Numpang eat only here, my house is still able to gig two more people, three ding, plus Apin. Keep specially you eat it I bribin”
“Ya mobile.”
The two looked up and laughed, how long have they not argued and laughed like this?
“I miss you” Dano said without permission to hug Laras. Guilt, frustration, and longing evaporated out in Dano's embrace. Laras hand raised up stroking Dano's hair slowly, it turns out that his affection for the man never disappeared.
“I haven't had a shower.”
Dano looked up, her lips pursed. “Don't spoil the atmosphere of Ra, I'm sick again, want to spoiled the same you”
“It's true I haven't had a shower, smell tau!”
“Biarin, I am also not.”
Laughing barrel.
“That time you why cry?”
“When?”
“Pass rain and I love you umbrella”
“I enggak nangis” elak Laras lied. Dano took off her embrace with a look of disbelief.
“Masa?”
“Iya.”
Dano nodded, pretending to believe.
“You miss me right?”
“Enggak”
“Oh okay. You don't cry, don't miss, but you're here when you hear me sick” shoot Dano directly. Barrels are misbehaving.
“I...”
“What?”
Laras is silent, embarrassed to have to admit his feelings of worry to Dano.
“Yaudah, don't follow up. Without you to answer I also already know, you actually care about me, just prestige”
“Who-”
“Ssst...” Dano spontaneously shut her mouth Laras so as not to protest, the girl snorted with an annoyed look.
“I want nanya, but you have to answer honestly” said Laras lowered Dano's hand. “You're the same as Rita?”
Dano's forehead frowned confusedly. “Why do you think so?”
“Rita likes you” replied Laras then explained at length what he heard and suspected. Dano laughed out loud, her hands rattling the hair of the fat Baras.
“Ra, Rita shot me that night, but I didn't accept”
“Why?”
Dano grinned, her face forward to kiss the lips soft Laras. “We fight great Ra, but we never break up. I'm still your girlfriend, if I accept Rita just as I cheated on you.”
Stunned barrel. Is correct. Not a word broke out of both mouths. Laras feeling suddenly improved, his anxiety and turmoil all this time was meaningless. As beautiful as Rita, Dano still belongs to Laras.
“Is Mrs Laras satisfied with my answer?”
“Not yet. Then why is the time in your canteen so friendly?” Barrels cross hands on chest.
“I really do not feel that friendly yes, because Rita sits near me because she wants how to play the drum.”
Excuses! You gatel chick!
“But if it makes you feel upset, I want to bow down thank you”
“Loh how is it?”
“Kalo to the sign you are jealous. If you're jealous it means you still like me.”
Laras did not dodge and Dano won a landslide. The guy laughed happily back hugging Laras tightly.
“Sorry I Ra. Don't be mad anymore, I can go crazy because you keep me on”
“I'm also sorry” reply Baras. Both are smiling sweetly.
Baras has been cheated on, cried, lied to, disappointed, heartbroken, and hurt. But all those feelings evaporated out. The gray day that haunted Laras is no longer visible, maybe in the future there will still be days like that, but Laras does not care, he has someone here who knows how valuable the presence of Laras is to him
Danos.
A stranger at their first meeting, now in Laras' arms. The man who treated Baras's heartache, made a new wound, and tried to close the wound again. Laras does not know what will happen in the future, but Laras decides to take the risk.
The risk of falling in love with someone who is trying to close the wound in the heart of Laras.
“Constructed yes?” the word Laras turned towards the outside of Dano's room window. And right, not long after that the clouds began to darken the sign of heavy rain.
...*****...
“Ra view.”
Laras looked up at the volume of paper full of scribbles offered by Dano.
“I'm officially in chapter two”
“Brogan kamu” grunts Laras busy typing the contents of chapter one, because the supervising lecturer retired without notice Laras required to change the supervising lecturer. The drama of a week of stress interacting with a new supervising lecturer made Laras forced to change the title and start all over from scratch again.
“Hust dong. Don't brush his face, envy mark can't afford” taunted Dano cuek lying near Laras.
“Until I hear first, I spit your face”
“Try aja. But until I hear first. We marry”
“Enak! I want to be a career woman, her marriage plan is still a long”
“You have a career in my heart Ra, load your life until beyond retirement”
“Basic gumbal” laughter Barrel.
“Break break Ra. Poor handsome guy gini you grapein. Later I snatched another girl.”
Laras put his laptop to the side and kissed Dano's lips.
“Iya, yes. Guys I'm really handsome, baby if not in any-apain”
“Do you want to know me Ra? Basic pervert!” canda Dano pretends to protect her body from Laras.
Laras laughs his head back and kisses softly Dano's lips.
“I love you” whispered Laras slowly.
“I also love you, unfortunately until spilled” reply Dano.
Baras smiled sweetly, he felt happy.
...Tops ...
