Neighbor Husband

Episode 3 - Matching Couples

Over the last few days, Luke has changed a lot. He locked himself up more inside the house and used a headshet, so that the chatter of 'new neighbors' was not so heard by him. He was also lazy to meet his two high school friends.

"Where is Luke? How rarely do they look now?" said Kak Nada, a rented neighbor who is on holiday today.

"Yes, here. Usually early in the morning has already cleaned the house, then breakfast," replied Brother Tyas while drying the cloth.

"For as busy as possible, a lot of nulis jobs" Lukman said. This handsome guy works as a security guard at one of the minimarkets, where Nada works as well. It is a creature that is usually awake at night. No one knows that the man is actually the best graduate of law school. But his proposal has not been accepted.

"Idih the brother. Come along kayak mom. Oh, go sleep there. Nightfall to watch, right?" reply Kak Nada.

"Where can't you hear? You guys gossiped about it in front of the contract like this" Lukman said.

"Good, dong if he rarely comes out. I'm afraid to see him spread that charm."

"Hadeh, Nurul the Queen of gossip has appeared," thought Kak Nada and others.

"How much charm?" ask Brother Tyas.

"Yes, in this contract it is only him and Fitri who are single. But Fitri already has a candidate. Why is she sitting in front of the window every day, if not glancing at our husband."

"Darahd, Nurul. No other story topic? Don't you get tired of yelling?" kak Nada.

"He is not self-conscious, but not confident. So afraid her husband glanced at another girl. Therefore Deck, take care of your own household. Let the husband be at home" said Brother Tyas.

"Hey, you guys forgot about me? Am I single here?" Lukman.

"You want to disturb our husband too? Idih, amit-amit," said Kak Nada.

"Mahaha ..." Brother Tyas was heartbroken at Lukman's sour expression that turned sour.

"You don't know? Why did Leli move out of here? She was bullied, her husband was seduced by Luke" Nurul said.

"This is a child, so much love Luke," thought the three neighbors.

"Luke's not that kind of guy. With me who is still equally single he always keeps his attitude. You know for yourself, right? He's always teased me" said Lukman. Nurul glared at Lukman, a sign of disapproval.

"Well, brother's in the group, huh?" Ina came out of her house, carrying a tray containing several small plates.

"Ina, huh?" ask Kak Nada. He had not met his new neighbors in person, because he was busy working all day.

"Yes, brother. What number of people live in the house?"

"Sister lives in house number one, this is Nurul in house number two. Tyas in house number five. And Lukman in house number eight," explained Kak Nada.

He shook the hands of his neighbors. While the tray he had been holding, he placed it on the wooden chair they were sitting on.

"Cobain dong, Ina cuisine. From yesterday moved, have not had time to thank and acquaintance with the brothers, nih."

"Dude, Ina. Repot-repot cook for us" Lukman said. But his speech and actions are out of sync. His hand quickly grabbed the dish on the plate.

"Elah, pleasantries, Lu. Tell me it's good to get free food," said Kak Tyas. The creature that is talked about is just a whimper while chewing food.

"Just corn pudding, really. While the same introduction Brother - brother here. Oh, yeah, where's Luke, huh? So who's occupants number six and seven?" ask Ina.

"Call just try. Maybe he was busy writing the script. If number six and seven, tomorrow you will also meet," said Kak Nada full of secrets.

"Assynolajet. Brother, Brother Luke."

Luke pretended not to hear. He was so lazy to come out. "I can't go straight back to my room. Have to have a nice chat first. It's exciting" Luke said in his heart.

"Haloo... Lukee.." exclaimed Brother Nada and Brother Tyas.

"So, they didn't give up apparently." Luke passed to the room. He combed his hair and polished his thin face with powder so as not to be too shabby.

Chequek! "Eh, again on the gathering?" Luke put on a fake smile.

"Sorrys. I write the script while I hear the song." Well, no lie, anyway. He was writing a script and listening to a song from his smartphone. But that doesn't mean he doesn't hear their talk.

"Now, Ina wants to share the cake" said Brother Tyas.

"Ah, a simple cake, really. It's not very good at cooking."

"Enak kok, Dek," said Nurul.

"Thank you."

"Luke, look at Ina. Beautiful, nice, young, has a cute husband. Uh, how old are you, Dek?" ask Nurul again.

"Come on, find her followers. Sok well same new boy," Inner Lukman, Kak Nada and Kak Tyas.

"Twenty-seven."

"That's only a year's difference with Luke. Luke is gini-gini. Unemployment, snoring at home. How do you want to get a soul mate? Yeah no?" nurul.

"You think finding a job is easy? Luke is great, you know. From the honor of writing, he can help his college tuition," said Lukman.

"Yes right. I'm the only one who graduated from D3 accounting ended up as a cashier at the store. Some can mate it's not like we get the time, the time can be estimated." Kak Nada spoke to Nada rather high.

"Eh, Luke's sister is great, you know. During school, it always represents the Physics and Astronomy Olympiad. Where are the graduates of Physics University famous again." Ina diverted the conversation.

Everyone there was dumbfounded. They had not expected their humble neighbor at all, to be a genius. Physics is a major that is quite avoided by people.

"You know where it came from?" ask Lukman.

"We're going to one SMA. Ina's husband is also a classmate of Luke's."

"But what good is a great graduate if finally unemployed?" timpal Nurul's.

"Was you alone? Unemployed too. It's just gibahin people. I'm pretty smart, I went to school a year earlier than a friend my age, "reply Luke. Nurul's face instantly turned sour.

"Ah, Luke must have another job that we don't know. Nowadays, there are many freelancers. If Ina is just a housewife," said Ina.

"This thing, is it low to elevate its degree, or is it humble?" think Luke.

"You and your husband are a good couple. Both beautiful and kind" said Tyas.

"Be careful, Ina. Luke and your husband used to date. It looks like they're too close" Nurul said. He looked at Luke, needing answers.

"What the hell, you forgot? I'm single from birth" Luke said with a forced smile.

...******...

In the afternoon, Luke makes chicken rica-rica. He wanted to return Ina's cake plate and fill it with his side dish. Every house gets one plate.

"I-na," Luke stopped. Dede who was still wearing a shirt embraced his wife affectionately in the living room. The door opened, allowing Luke to see everything clearly. His heart is so cut.

Luke immediately turned to his house. But late.

"Luke, what's wrong?" call Dede.

Luke was silent for a moment. "Ah, this. I'm going to return the plate. Thank ye. Sorry my cooking is not good." Luke hurriedly handed the plate to Dede, and rushed home.
