Oceanic Heart

The Heart of Captain Barry

The cabin that has been occupied by Melodie in two days this room is quite neat and clean well maintained. There is a small bed, a wardrobe, a writing desk with a chair, a television, a dispenser and an air conditioner unit and a bathroom equipped with a sink and bathtub inside. The cabin is indeed a cabin that is intended for guests who stay on the ship The Promise Land.

With all the facilities and comfort possessed by the cabin, it should be able to make people who live in it feel at home and comfortable. But unfortunately not so, already two days the occupants who inhabit the cabin instead stricken with anxiety and unclear feelings of anxiety. Almost every time he spent in that cabin daydreaming. From morning crawling to night creeping just daydreaming that continues to be done by the girl. Just like this afternoon, the girl drowned again in her daydream while gazing at the waves crashing through the round glass windows in her cabin. While busy daydreaming, suddenly there was a knock on the cabin door that suddenly suddenly spread the girl's daydream.

“Ya wait a minute..” said Melodie while rushing to the sink in the bathroom to take a moment. After feeling his appearance was quite neat and appropriate, the girl then moved and opened the cabin door.

One bespectacled face with a silly smile appeared from behind the door.

“Evening is ready non beautiful, would you like to join us or be brought here again as usual.?” who else if not Marco the bad boy who spoke.

“Ehm, this time maybe I will eat with you guys only.. I'm tired of just staying here constantly..”.

The silly young man immediately cheered in excitement.

“Well, so donk... do not just crouch continuously in the cabin, briefly once out directly as a membrane squirm Captain dah so aki-aki…” casual Marco who immediately replied to laughter scattered by Melodie

“Ah... Your captain is indeed grandfather! Chasing the outside who looks young.. Try, where there are young people like to snack the same high blood hobby as your Captain…? Aye right..?” said the girl who changed this time to make Marco laugh cheerfully

“So our Captain was indeed from the first person likes to snack and grumpy model so?”

Melodie nodded her head

“That's it! Especially if you are sleeping, no one ever dares to make a storm. Don't be people, singing frogs just ask for rain directly on the spear! So in the past, if the dry season, frogs no longer dare to sing for rain. They only dare to sing it through sosmed.”ucap the girl while giggling amusedly.

“Gokil... gokil.. ah really dah... loe really gokil the person turned out to be Mel...”ucap Marco while laughing out wide.

“Already co, I'm hungry nih... don't laugh..”.

“Ok... ok... well, let's big mistress, let's come with me to the dining room...”.

“Kok Big madam anyway…? If I'm the big lady who's the big master.?.”.

“Ya obviously Captain Barry donk..” kekeh Marco while then kelit here and there avoiding rain pinching from Melodie!

“Eits... is not affected. is not affected.... cie... cie... ciee.... there is a shy blush of goats...”.

Buseeet…! different epochs are also shy! Yesterday the feeling was still shy cat deh coeg! Now it turns out to be a sheepish goat again! Goats apparently have now also started to follow the current trend!

“Already Marco, don't flirt anymore! Or I'll go back to the cabin again!” threaten Melodie while pretending to frown and twist her body.

“Iya.. ya dehorry... it's just angry..” said marco while laughing and scratching his curly hair.

“Let's just go straight to the dining room. Putra and Maikel are waiting for us there..”.

“Lho, Captain Barry does not eat with us?”

Marco seemed to shake weakly

“I had already persuaded him but he just kept quiet while standing in the bow. Frankly, Mel, since meeting you the other day, the Captain has become much quieter and rarely touches food. Even if he ate it would have been just a few spoons and then just left..”.

“Just..! can you do that.?”

“Iya Mel, me and the other colleagues so anxious and worried in case the Captain fell ill because of this.”.

“Yes already, then you go first to the dining room, let me try to persuade him..”.

“Espirit ya Mel, we depend on you you know. try him want to eat his food because his stomach has not filled anything since last night.” said Marco while giving his thumb.

“Sip...Sipp...” said the girl who then turned around and walked directly to the front.

Arriving at the bow of the ship, the step of the girl then appeared to stop when looking at the back of the Captain who was seen standing that afternoon while leaning towards one of the guardrails of the ship.

The blowing wind began to feel tight towards the stern, but the eyes and mind of Bob Barry actually crossed the boundary to the horizon in the distance.

“While thinking what...”thanya the gentle girl.

“Melodie..?”

Bob Barry was surprised by the sudden presence of the girl standing behind him.

“Ti.. thought nothing of..”Ucap the young man clumsily and somewhat stammered.

“We have been friends for a long time since we were children Bob, and since long ago you are not the type of person who is good at lying.” Melodie said with a smile.

“I... I just rest for a moment to unwind.. soon I will also return to the bridge and continue our journey.”

“Ah must be lying..”.

“It is your pleasure if you do not believe..” said Bob Barry while throwing his face trying to take his eyes off the face of the girl.

“Oke.. Okay I believe.. It's just that these two days according to what I heard, you're so much more silent. Then according to Marco, you also now so rarely touch your food? Or are you still mad at me for slapping yesterday? If that's the case I told you before that you can slap me back anytime if you want.!” fawning Melodie while moving to the side of the young man while then looking deeply into Bob Barry's clumsy pair of eyes.

“Ti..Nah! not because of that..” said Bob Barry.

“Then because of what Bob..? A dozen years we have just met again.Honestly at first I was so surprised and also at the same time happy when Mr. Kalangit told me that I would work with you… but when I remember the events of how you left me without saying goodbye in the Galapagos, I was spontaneously upset! you know you're a really annoying person.?!”

Bob Barry lowered his head.

“Iya I'm a bitch! But anyway I did not leave you alone there. right there is also Arga.”.

Melodie's eyes suddenly grew

“Oh so all that because of Arga? Not that the reason you called me when you came home secretly was that you had to go home because your father was sick…? Why not be straightforward from the beginning Bob.?”.

“Not Mel! Not because of Arga! My father was really sick at the time so I did have to go home as soon as possible. I'm really sorry about it.. Besides..”.

“Besides what...?”

“In addition.. You are Arga's girlfriend. However Arga is also my friend Mel, I obviously feel bad about her.”.

“Gosh…!!! Who said that…? Arga…? No Bob! That's according to Arga's own story, not mine! If it was me and Arga that it was, it was clear you were the first one I would tell.!”.

“So you guys weren't dating that time..?” said the gamang captain, somehow his knee suddenly felt weak

“Oh Lord Bob! You are really insensitive! Try to think carefully, why did I invite you to accompany me to do research into the Galapagos instead of the Arga? You couldn't see every signal and code I gave you back then..?” gaunty Melodie

“Ja... So that time you were also... I... but... why.... I...ah...” this time Bob to stammer and can no longer speak so surprised.

It was never suspected that the girl in front of him, the girl he had loved so much since he was a child but kept her in this heart turned out to have the same taste! His love did not clap one hand! Honey, it took me a dozen years to figure out a truth. And a dozen years is definitely not a short time!

Meanwhile Melodie finally could only breathe out a long breath while shrugging her shoulders.

Bob Barry seemed to lower his head and close his eyes for a moment, after taking a long breath and then exhaling it, the Captain then spoke in a slightly quivering tone.

“We were still both very young and naive at that time Mel, so it was natural that something like that could happen…” there is a bit of bitter regret caught from Bob Barry's tone of speech

“Already Bob, it is not your fault either... and again it is also the past for both of us, which is clear for now you still consider me a friend right.?”

Hearing the question, Bob slowly raised his face. And for the first time after two days of drowning in depression, a single smile now appeared on his lips!

“Nah.. if you smile gini kan cakeep.. So look handsome...” said Melodie while walking Bob Barry's nose.

“Ah you are still as nosy as Mel…! from the beginning it turned out to be unchanged.. Then how is the Arga? How many children have you had..?” asked Bob who was immediately met with laughter scattered by Melodie

“Ha.ha.ha... son of Arga from Timbuktu? I told you I wasn't with him.”.

“That's a terrible thing you are Mel…! Why don't you just accept that she's your girlfriend? though he was tired of your nyusulin to Galapagos you know.”.

“If you don't like yes how to be accepted? It's a matter of Bob's heart, it can't be forced.. But you know what makes you feel the most? Unwelcome come persistent fight, While the likes even butek ****! Various signals and codes but masiiih also insensitive.In fact, it says go flying secretly…! Really messes up, right? stupid Flamingo Basics..!” melodie said with red cheeks.

“Ah don't you remind me again Mel. I'm so embarrassed to remember how stupid I was at that time..” said Bob who then started laughing.

“Iya... Flamingo Stupid…!!! Stupid.... Stupid....!!!” tease Melodie also while starting to laugh amusedly

The two eventually laugh at each other. The awkwardness and wedge that has been in the heart for the last two days was finally extinct.

After a while, the laughter of the two began to subside. The two are now seen glancing at each other and staring while throwing smiles at each other.

“But now the Flamingo is smart, Mel.. Dozens of years of learning make him now finally able to read various signals and codes.” said Bob then while staring at the girl with a hopeful look.

The cheerful eyes that had previously been seen in the eyes of the girl somehow dimmed when she looked into the eyes of the young man who looked at her with those loving eyes.

“I'm sorry Bob.. But I. I'm engaged. He's a good guy, and we've agreed to get married next year…” said Melodie while bowed and rather deliberately showed the engagement ring on her ring finger.

“You.... You want to come to give your blessing congratulations right...?” whispered the girl with a barely audible voice

Bob was silent for a while while staring at the gold ring on the girl's finger that had apparently escaped his attention. A cold stream seemed to flow through his spine and then spread throughout his limbs. The cold flow then finally returns and gathers in the chest and then causes pain that is difficult to explain by words. His hands were holding on to the iron guardrail of the ship, even to the point that it seemed to shake wavering for some time.

A very cold silence was hanging in the twilight in the middle of two hearts that had just returned together. If only a dozen years ago Bob Barry had the courage he has today, maybe the story would be different. But what do you want to say? This is what is called reality. Bitter is felt. But although bitter, although painful and also makes a wound, but the reality is that it eventually forms a person's character. Whether he will eventually become a winner or choose will not rise again and become a loser!

Bob Barry is definitely not a weakling, let alone a loser! Like an ordinary man, his heart is also sometimes vulnerable and can be injured. But time and experience have taught him to be more open and mature in the face of reality. Sadness did have time to master it for a while, but a Captain would not be recognized as a Captain if not able to get through the first storm is not it? whether it's a storm in the ocean or a storm in life.

“I congratulate Mel then, I'm glad to hear that you now have a prospective companion... I promise I will definitely come to your wedding, who is the lucky man..?” said the young man with a rather hoarse tone

Melodie seemed silent for a moment before then seen wiping clear in the corner of her eyes.

The girl was crying!

“He was a Turkish man introduced by my brothers Bob, a very kind and understanding man. His name is Abdullah and his job is as a mining engineer in one of the offshore oil drilling units of Kalimantan.” said the girl slowly.

“Sorry, whose name was earlier..?” bob Barry tried to confirm his hearing.

“His name is Abdullah Bob...He...” but not finished the girl said, suddenly there was a sound of contention behind the two of them!

When Bob and Melodie turned around to pay more attention to the source of the sound, it turned out to be invisible to no one!

What exactly happened just now? What exactly was the shape of the sound of the contention earlier? Does this little ship have ghosts?

Take it easy, my good friend, I dare to guarantee that the ship The Promise Land has been destroyed and certified free from all kinds of jinn, demons and ghosts…

Except for the Ghost Kepo!

Yes, the ghost of a kepo who is in the form of two rogue squirrels named Marco and also Maikel!

Apparently these two bengal youths were quietly sneaking around and then squatting near the Hydrant box of water to hide and trying to steal the conversation between their Captain and Melodie!

And the most ridiculous is that they both stole the talk of the Captain still with an aluminum rice plate in each hand!

The ghost of the poor boy who was starving apparently!

So these two were when the eyes of the ears and also his attention were fixed on the conversation of their Captain and Melodie, their mouths were also unwilling to quietly chew food from the plates they were carrying! They also only use empty hands! Even the funniest, due to being too focused and the thrill of peeping, it is not uncommon for these two to unwittingly feed each other! Bribes with naked hands!

The highlight was when Melodie called her fiance Abdullah's name, these two mischievous squirrels stared at each other and almost broke into laughter together if they did not have time to smother each other's mouths! Marco smothered Maikel's mouth and vice versa! Funny, isn't it?

And that's when two aluminum plates fell and made a crashing sound as a result of being released from each hand smothering each other!

“Who's there…? Quick exit..?” bob Barry snaps at Marco and Maikel's hideout.

Meanwhile, in his hiding place, Marco and Maikel appear to be sweating coldly and slowly starting to release their hands…

“Psst... Quickly tap the sound of chicken Bro.... Sound ayaammm..! Let the Captain not suspect!” marco whispered who did keep some chickens at the stern of this ship.

Actually Maikel did want to imitate the sound of the chicken as whispered by Marco, but unfortunately, because they had both heard the name Abdullah called, so his mind at that time was still clearly imagined the figure of little Abdoolah who was in Somalia that had made them both almost laugh out loud in hiding.

Therefore, what comes out of the mouth of Maikel then is not the sound of “Kukuruyuk” or “Petok-petok” like the sound of chickens in general, but a sound that mimics the voice of the little Abdoolah !

“Auuuuh.. Auuuuh... Auaahhh...”.

“Capable us...!” marco said as he patted the eel and then quickly returned to the mouth of Maikel Stefen!

“Abdoolah's voice is not like that Setaan Borokokok...!!!” snapped by Captain gregetan

“A... Chicken...Kept! It's chicken..!” this time Marco replied! When panic struck apparently made this one young man even so unable to think clearly! Really ridiculous!

“Morely Chicken..!!! No chicken speaks that way..!” The Captain said with a heavy tone.

“You know Abdullah? Know where...?” melodie said as she looked at Bob Barry with astonished eyes

“Not Mel... This is another Abdullah, it has nothing to do with your fiance Abdullah..” Bob Barry said as he suddenly grabbed Melodie's hand and then pulled her along.

“Ki... Where are we going Bob...?” melodie said with red cheeks. He did not expect that the young man would hold his hand.

“Ke dining room Mel... I was suddenly suddenly suddenly hungry…! Just remember that you have not eaten from last night, so now you want to eat raw chicken meat!” said the Captain as he walked towards the dining room without caring about the girl who seemed to glance and smile at him.

Meanwhile, hearing the voice of the Captain, Marco and Maikel who were in his hiding place which was located to be passed by the Captain and Melodie suddenly turned pale.

“Kabuur Bro! for the safety of your soul!” Whisper Marco into the ears of the colleague before then running down the alley ridge down the corridor of the ship leaving the friend who a while later followed behind him while accompanied by an oath of absorbency!

“Basic Marco SETAAANNN!!”
