Tito’ Room


I arrived at this room when the clock in the room had shown at four in the afternoon.


The unexpected ‘-way’ event with Tito’ really makes me very happy. I couldn't help my excitement so subconsciously, I smiled to myself instead.


All the friends in the room looked at me in wonder, except for the Little Book that came home with me. Unlike me, she expressed her joy in silence. On the way home, he said nothing.


Tito’ left after putting me and the Little Book on the table.


“Looks..” A new book breaks the silence, “There are kasmaran.”


“Iya. From earlier I tried hard to remember.” Political Science seems to think hard, “Gold seems to have..”.


“What's it?” Social Science cannot withstand laughter.


“Dating, do you mean?” Motivated guess.


“Nah, Yes. That's my point.” Political Science grumbles, “It's hard to remember.”


“Often forgets something that is not related to us. That seems like a natural thing. Not only age, we even experience it as well.” The new book is back to comment.


I just kept quiet, waiting for a chance to comment.


“Eh, Novel, what do you mean by kasmaran?” Ask Motivation on the new book which turned out to be a novel book.


“Tany to KBBI. He can definitely explain it better.” Novel's book shifted its duties to KBBI which had been silent since.


“That casualty,,” KBBI finally spoke, “Can be interpreted with a drunken hangover or falling in love.”


We all looked up, except for Novel.


Mean what?


“A..What is it?” Political Science has no power to refrain from asking questions.


We all reflexively looked at the KBBI, waiting for further explanations.


“Mmm.. I myself can't explain it well to you.”


Quite unexpectedly, KBBI actually gave up, “Just.. That's all that humans write to me. Problem, what is meant by drunk or in love.. I myself do not know.”


Novel laughs.


“You seem to know, Novel?” Ask Motivation.


Our attention is now turned to Novel, waiting for an explanation.


“No.. I don't know either.”


We go back to gawking.


“Your attitude is laughing at me, as if knowing clearly.” KBBI grumbling.


“Makanya, I leave the task of explanation to you. Because all this time, I didn't understand.” myself


“Then.. Why do you say the word kasmaran? Where did you find that word?” Ask Motivation represents us who are confused.


“Y.. That word is written to me a lot.” Novel admitted.


“My author even smiles while writing for me.” Novel said weakly, “I think, KBBI can explain it. Turns out not.”


“Yes.. I can give an explanation according to the word written. But if you need an explanation of that feeling.. I also gave up.” Kbbi Sahut.


“Looks.. The feeling about it is like a mystery well.” Political Science said, “If only we could talk directly to humans, maybe we could ask.”


“Or we have a feeling like them.” Motivation Word, “Thus, we can understand.”


We nodded in allowing. Somehow the feeling of ‘love’, which even he said was difficult for us to understand.


“Eh.. By the way, since when was Novel here?” My toot.


“I'm a long time resident tau!” Novel snatches, “I should have asked you, since when are you here?”


“Dia paper Book Supreme.” Political Science answers.


“Oh.. So you book.” Nevel seemed to understand.


It seems like my book friends have told me a lot.


“So you old book here?” I'm clumsy, feeling guilty.


“Y.. About five months ago, Tito’ bought me in the bookstore.” Sahut, “But the last three months, Adi borrowed me. He just returned me this afternoon.”


“Oh.” Sahutku understands.


“Letter complains to me.” Novel glanced at Surat, “Hin, since the arrival of an important book. Position eliminated.”


The clumsy smiling letter.


“But I want to thank you.” Novel said again, “Before your arrival, Letters are very important in the eyes of Tito’ more than all of us. It made him look down on us. But look at the condition now.”


Novel laughs.


I looked at the Letter who chose silence. I just realized, the letter was still lying on the floor.


“Already, Gold. You don't feel guilty.” Letters understand the meaning of my gaze, “As an object, there are times when we are boring. You too, Gold.


From now on, we should all learn to be patient, in preparation for his human boredom on us.” The letter, wise.


Novels and friends laughing.


“She's already insyaf. Thank God.” The Book of Islam.


The laughter of friends is getting louder. Me and Surat laughed.


Adi entered the room on the sidelines of our loud laughter. Adi who managed to enter without the locked door turned back towards the door.


Adi smile, “Lupa locked or on purpose?” Ask yourself.


“Intentionally!” Novel yells answer it, “Make anything Tito’ lock this room.”


Adi breezed in, still with a smiling face.


Of course he did not hear Novel's scream.


“Unlockable container. Chance to find something that might just be secret.” Adi said to himself with a smile.


“I told you, Tito’ accidentally didn't lock it!” Novel again shouted affirming, “During this, Tito’ did never lock it, right?”


Free, Adi was just busy with himself.


The novel became angry.


We all laughed again because of it.


“Adi won't hear you.” Motivation is concerned.


“After all, why is he so happy to find the door unlocked.” Novel looks surprised, “For this long, it was never locked right?”


“Iya.. Since you joined us. Tito’ never locks it.” Political Science is serious.


“But.. Every one of you is not here. For some reason, he always closes and locks the door.” Political Science commented while looking at the Novel, looking concerned.


“I was guessing.” Motivation does not want to lose, “Tito’ deliberately so that Novel is taken by anyone who visits. Justjust look.. He disappeared from the book, too. Tito’ does not care.”


All of my friends look serious.


I'm stunned.


Did ya?


All my friends are joking..


I'm the one who thought too late. Wkwkwk..


But it seems like Novel believes the words of friends.


“What you noticed, Gold.” The letter said to me, “It looks like Tito’ realized that Novel is back. That's why, he left without locking the door.”


“Maybe he wishes there were people who visited and were kind enough to take Novel.”


KBBI join nimbrung, “Do you know Novel, Tito’ does not even care to look for you when you are not around.”


“Althought.. Tito’ realizes he doesn't exist?” The words Social Sciences made us all laugh.


Novel's face looks crumpled. “What is it?” weak tanyanya.


Little Book laughed, she looked concerned looking at Novel.


“Of course, no. Tito’ treats you all the same, really. It is only because you have been read by him that he lets you be taken for the benefit of others.


In fact, you should be grateful. No book Tito’ reads for less than a week other than yourself.”


“But.. They said.” Novel's face remained shriveled, in disbelief.


“They are just jealous of you.” A Relaxing Little Book. “You know, Novel. None of the books in this book can make Tito’ smile while reading, except you.


On average, the face of Tito’ is actually more wrinkled when reading them.


I'll bet, they must have been read by Tito’ for months.


Maybe, some are annual. But still not finished-finished.”


The words Little Book suddenly made everyone laugh, Novel was no exception. Now, he looks proud.


Adi was busy walking down the bookshelf.


“Hh.. No new novels.” Adi said bored.


His words made the novel even more proud.


“Not be happy that way. You should be sad. Because you have entered the human boredom stage on you.” Motivation reminded.


“You are not like your name. You should have raised my heart.


After all, I'm proud because books like ours are at least more sought after.” Novels defend themselves.


Smile, appreciate.
