My President

My President
Chicken Porridge



The night air propagates into the pores of Aksa. His eyes were looking at the not so cheerful sky. Like his heart was broken earlier. He was thinking about how to talk to Tania if she was going to get married next week, but not with the woman, but with Aza. Guilt enveloped the man. Is Tania going to take it with a chest? Or the opposite?


"Coffee, Sa!" exclaim Devano put two cups of coffee on the front desk of Aksa. They were like this every night, chatting on the balcony of Aksa's room by sipping a cup of coffee as a friend.


Devano was the same, he looked troubled, I don't know what the man was thinking. Occasionally sipped coffee, and let out a long sigh afterwards.


"I love that woman, I tied her up. Even if only with dating status. I want to tie him up more than that, Sa." The words came out of Devano's mouth. His eyes were still fixed in the other direction and did not look at the person he was talking to.


"Living tied up just why is it so hard. If you want, you can borrow my Mama's hairband to tie her up" Aksa exclaimed.


"I want to marry her, not tie her hair!" tukas Devano accompanied by a upset.


The two men again fell silent sipping black coffee on the white cup. Occasionally eat brownies served on a melamine plate with tulips.


"You know for yourself it's not that my parents with Clara's parents never got along. I'm just afraid the two won't agree if I get Clara married." Devano again vented his disquiet to Aksa, but the friend who had become his brother seemed indifferent.


"My problem is heavier, Dev. Don't add to it."


"I'm thinking about how to untie me with Tania. Would that woman accept if I married someone else?" connect Aksa. The man put his hands behind his head and leaned against the chair.


"It looks like he's gonna hate you. Tania is so obsessed with having you, she will definitely not accept this reality." Devano's remarks are allowed Aksa. Tania does love her, but not Aksa. The man had no taste other than affection as a brother and sister only.


"I'm afraid that Tania will take revenge and try to destroy my relationship with Aza later. Rich in the soap opera 'Ku crying', there are many rich that," said Aksa, Devano immediately elbowed his stomach.


"You see that often. The president of the coke spectacle is that, dih, not really!"


"Mama is watching, I am not following her," replied Aksa with his leisure.


The night was getting late, the two men had not yet moved from their places. The coffee in the cup has been toilet and leaves only the pulp. There were no stars that night, but both of them were staring at the dark sky.


*****


What a beautiful morning? Ah no, morning for the woman there is no beauty at all. All he thought about that morning was the sound of a melodious bird chirping with the whirring of the wind that sounded beautiful also in the ears. But in reality, the sound of crows and a traveling porridge that he hears every morning.


"Zoooooooo!!!!! Bur!!!!!" shouted Bang Jono, a porridgeist who every morning always held in front of Aza's rented house.


"Yes Bang, grab a bowl!!!!" sahut Aza from the inside and no less harsh.


The bowl with a spoon was in his hand, he approached Bang Jono and handed him over to be filled with chicken porridge.


"Za, great yes you can work in Sanjaya Group," said Bu Nani, Aza's neighbor who was also buying porridge at the time.


"Hehe, it's normal, Buk. Besides, just being a financial staff." Aza grimaced showing her teeth.


"Oh yes, Za. Do you want to be like a mother's child? He actually likes you since long ago, but does not dare to talk," added Bu Nani.


"Your son is that item, skinny, and ugly? Which is really dong, Mom. Aza is beautiful, he deserves the same guy who comes here every morning" said Bang Jono.


Suddenly, Bu Nani also pinched Bang Jono's arm. The woman did not accept Bang Jono's words when her son was said to be an item, skinny, and ugly.


"Give me my bowl! I won't buy your porridge again!" Bu Nani immediately took his two bowls and left while stomping his feet. The woman was really upset with Bang Jono's words.


"Have to buy again tomorrow!" bang Jono chuckles.


Aza shook her head looking at the two people. Not only this time, but almost every morning they argue and end up Bu Nani not so buy porridge owned by Bang Jono.


"This is Aza! Wisdom chicken porridge without beans, favorite neng geulis," said Bang Jono thrusting bowl owned by Aza that has been filled with porridge. The man bent his body, always making Aza chuckle because of the ridiculous things that the forties-old man did.


Aza put four pieces of money two thousand into the hands of Bang Jono. "Thank you Bang Jono who is handsome, kind, and likes to save," said Aza while curling his lips to form a smile.


"Ahh, the eneng mah can only." And as usual, Bang Jono always misbehaved when Aza praised him.


Aza then went into his house, enjoying the chicken porridge which was always his mainstay at breakfast. Just finished, the sound of a motor horn was heard from outside his house. Aza took the bag and put on her helmet, immediately came out and did not forget to lock the door.


"Ayokk's leaving!" said Aza pat Sarah on the shoulder when she was sitting sweetly behind her friend.


"Ready, Boss!" Sarah immediately propelled her motorcycle at moderate speed. Tracing the crowded streets creeping. Traffic lights are red, Sarah stopped her motorbike lined up neatly with other road users.


Aza squeezed Sarah's jacket, closed her eyes, and rested her head on Sarah's shoulder. The woman looks angry.


"Za, what's wrong with you?"


Aza did not answer Sarah's question, he hugged her body tightly. His hands were trembling a little. He won't open his eyes.


"Zaa...Don't freak me out, what's wrong with you?" Sarah asked again, she looked at her friend through the rearview mirror. Sarah panicked to see it.


"Aaa-I'm afraid.." lirih Aza stammered.


"Zaaa, don't scare me too. You why?"


Tin-tin-tin !


The sound of the car horn in the back made Aza even more frightened. Sarah immediately put on her bike again because the lights were green and the rider at the back was impatient.


Sarah stopped her bike again on the lonely road. He was still panicking with Aza's attitude. Aza looks pale and sweat on her forehead is also a lot.
