Ms. Dorky
C2; 3. Partitur Matters
At one o'clock in the afternoon Ayu just finished cleaning Heru's room. I don't know where the owner is, but now the room looks neater than before. Heru's room was much larger than Ayu's. Heri's room is predominantly white and gray, in the corner of the room there is a large shelf containing various collections of Heru, ranging from robots, cars, to camera lenses neatly arranged there. Very amusing. Even Adit has stopped playing such toys since graduating from Elementary School. In Heru's room there are also various musical instruments, ranging from guitars, flutes, to violins lying near the door with paper scattered here and there. Heru's bedroom is divided into three parts. Toilets, the main bed, and one more room inscribed with the genius of the studio. From Ningsih's story, the room was the place Heru used to channel his hobby.
“Hobinya many Yu. Play music, make pictures, play. Even last month until snatching on the back wall. It was there, but again painted white, said Mas Heru he was tired of the same picture, so want to take a new picture again. Anyway strange is Yu, but mending it anyway rather than nagging to us.”
Ayu peeked at a glance at the wall in the backyard, the white wall was only finished painted yesterday afternoon by Toto, before there was a large cartoon image there but now it looks like a new wall.
“Yu..Yu...you are looking for Mas Heru.” Early appeared hurriedly, his expression horrified as if he had just seen a demon in broad daylight. “Wah Yu, dead! What are you doing in his room? More raging now!”
Ayu was imprisoned, suddenly her body immediately cold hot. Kening Ayu frowned trying to recall what he had done wrong. But as hard as Ayu tried, he did not feel he had made a fatal mistake. His task of cleaning Heru's room was done just like any ordinary day.
“Yu's mange was samperin. I was horrified to hear Mas Heru angry. Wah Yu finished you!”
Ayu gulped, timidly stepping up the stairs to Heru's room. Ayu's body was getting hotter cold, it felt like it was heading towards the demon kingdom.
“Mas Heru nyari me?” ask Ayu slowly.
Heru turned away, his face flushed looking extremely annoyed over something.
“Lu neatin score above keyboard?”
“I-iya mas?…” Ayu is nervous about remembering Heru's words yesterday. 'Don't touch the score on the keyboard!'
Deg. Ayu obviously just made a mistake. He was so eager to tidy up the room that he forgot Heru's orders. Moreover, there was one problem Ayu, he did not know Heru called the organ with the word keyboard and the pile of scribbled paper was a scorer.
“Lu can work anyway? Things that make me bother! If I said don't touch ya don't! If you can't work, resign there!” spray Heru annoyed.
Ayu lowered her head in fear, this was the first time anyone had shouted this loud at her. “M-sorry mas, I don't know if it's called partitur......Sorry I Mas Heru.”
Heru snorted out a cell phone calling someone. “Gue late coming, my score is scrambled, I should sortin first”
“.....”
“Iye know, the problem is not I give the sequence number. Udeh diem lu, in an hour I go there” said Heru. Strange because his tone is much quieter than how many seconds ago.
“Ngapain you still there?” said Heru after he finished calling, his eyes looked at Ayu sharply as if he wanted to crush the girl.
“S-me-”
“Sana go, lazy I look at your face” expel Heru ketus. Ayu retreated timidly, right after her body came out of Heru's room immediately slammed the door making Ayu's heart seem to want to jump out. Ayu's eyes glazed over, he descended from the second floor with a limp expression.
“Wiapain you Yu?” ask Dini when Ayu arrives in the kitchen. Collapse of Ayu's defense, the girl cried a hiccup hugging Ningsih. “Udah Yu, let's just bete the guy” said Dini patting Ayu's back.
“Yesterday I had heard Mas Heru fight with Mr. Henry on the phone. Again apes you Yu so impingement”
“I don't know if the score means song paper, keep going in the village nobody says keyboard, we call it organ!” isak Ayu is sad. Ningsih and Dini looked at each other and then gave a small smile.
“Yu, from tomorrow you learn English only. Why the names of objects in this house use English, so that no one else” entertain Ningsih.
“Iya Yu really, later I pinjemin my English dictionary. Udah Yu did not have to cry for long, if you heard Mbok Raya even you were scolded. I also used to be scolded by Yu, the exact same thing happened like you” added Dini pity.
Ayu nodded wiping her tears, next as if nothing happened Ayu returned to work, even though her face was slightly reddened by crying. In Ayu's heart he promised, this will be the first and last time Ayu cries in this house.
...----------------...
Since that incident Ayu became more diligent in learning English, armed with a dictionary from Dini and Ningsih notes, Ayu has started memorizing many names of objects at home. According to Ningsih there is nothing wrong for Ayu to learn, in addition to minimizing the same mistakes, Evangelin's mother, Mr. Henry's wife, often uses English when communicating.
“When Eva's mother came here, I died of Ra's fleas, told to take my sugar. Fortunately just in the match” story Ningsih “I intention to work instead so learn. School is not finished.”
Ayu became more eager to learn. “Sofa sofa, table table, window window..” murmur Ayu memorize while watering plants. “Salt salt, ginger ginger, orange, apple apple, grape wine, plate-”
“Plate.”
Ayu turned away in surprise, Brandon Heru's friend who came the other day stood beside her without greeting. “Mas Herunya again out Mas” said Ayu without further ado. Brandon shrugged his shoulders and stood beside Ayu.
“Flower”
“Please?”
“Tree”
“Langit?” Ayu shut up, her vocabulary has not yet arrived. “Sky” says Brandon. Ayu nodded her head to take out her little book and recorded what the guy said.
“Write gini?”
“Iyaps, that's right. Why are you suddenly learning English? Want to prepare for a seven-teen quiz?”
“Let's not scolded Mas Heru” geleng Ayu lugu recounted the incident of the scorer some time ago, Brandon was amused.
“Yes Yu, plain bang lu”
“My fault mas. I should have recorded Mas Heru”'s order
Brandon grinned wide. “But I just know Heru likes to be angry, I think patient like an angel.”
Ayu sneered making Brandon smile again amusedly. Ayu looks like a plain Laras, the difference is that Laras has two fierce guards like demons, so Laras is more difficult to tease.
“Tomorrow if Heru rams again you report me aja, let me beat him”
“Eh do not mas, it's getting longer, even I was fired”
“Yaudah if that later I hug Heru so that his anger is gone.”
Kening Ayu wrinkled in confusion, her eyes on Brandon changing in judgment. “Mas Brandon equals Mas Heru's..”.
“Canda Yu, yakali I'm curling Heru”
“Oh cirain..”.
“Lu”'s thoughts chuckle Brandon gently nudged Ayu's forehead.
“Mas Brandon just go inside, I want to continue working”
“Here I helpin” said Brandon instead took a water hose without Ayu can prevent. Not waiting for long the two people were already chatting familiarly. Brandon turned out to be a lot more fun than Ayu thought. The tattooed guy admitted that his hobby of listening to dangdut songs made Ayu laugh in disbelief.
“Don't tell anyone ya Yu, but I have one box cassette Ikke Nurjana, the legacy of nyokap”
“Then the mas? how not to look?”
“Because of my tattoo? Yes the name is also appetis” replied Brandon casually. “Lu like what Yu?”
“Me? Hmm...I like to watch people decorate cakes, mas tau youtube channel Chef Athena? I often watch on his phone Mbak Ningsih” Ayu stories hot. Brandon nodded, his eyes looking at Ayu carefully, the girl looked happy when telling his favorite.
“Brand, long wait huh?” The two turned away, Heru appeared in a shirt and a basketball.
“Research lu?”
“Iya. Yuk. Yu please bring a soft drink, a cold” Heru peech without further ado.
“Gue first ya Yu” said Brandon waved and stepped away with Heru.
Ayu hurriedly put the hose down and walked hurriedly to the kitchen, she no longer wanted to make any mistakes that caused Heru's wrath to come. But, Ayu was stunned when she opened the freezer, she did not remember the meaning of soft drink. Ayu tried searching in the dictionary and all she got was the word ‘light drink.’
“Which one is it?” gumam Ayu tattered the contents of the freezer, there were many canned drinks there but none of them read soft drinks. Without feeling almost twenty minutes Ayu did not get what Heru asked, his head suddenly dizzy until he did not realize Heru appeared from behind.
“Trongly Yu.”
Ayu turned away with a frightened expression, she gulped trying to keep sounding calm. “No soft drink mas.”
Heru came closer. “This what? Blind lu? Time to take gini doang I have to teach anyway? Just eat you I bribe. I'm here!” ketus Heru roughly took a canned drink from Ayu's hand and then without saying anything else he stepped away. Ayu's tension was gone, without realizing her lips were sneering as Heru had already disappeared from behind the door.
“Where do I know it's a soft drink, just say ask fanta what's hard anyway?”
