Our Love Among Corona

Hurricane Corona & Durak Games

Ever since Luky was in my apartment, my life has changed a lot. More precisely my activities have changed a lot. I rarely go out into the woods near my house, nor walk to the supermarket. Because it is so easy to access transportation, I prefer to ride a vehicle rather than walk. Actually because of the weather. If it's minus, I'll say no to walking. But Luky's presence changed all this laziness. He would pull me out of the house and force my feet to walk. Not infrequently I complained, but he was so patient facing me.

In the midst of all the busyness and activity, previously the wind of news blowing about the Corona is only happening in some countries, but the next surprise for us after in Estonia was found to have 2 positive cases of COVID-19. Corona news began to be the lips of anyone. People began to be afraid of him but still do not know what to behave like.

My days with Luky were also filled with Corona news. He read the news without skipping a single day. I feel like our home is like a television news room. Luky provides daily news updates such as meal schedules. Starting from the political news, the economy and especially Corona, very detailed. He knows which countries have the latest cases and how many. While I'm not very following, but quite updated information by him.

"In Estonia not only 2 people, it turns out that the data has increased". Luky is back to inform the latest news.

"That from yesterday. He's an Iranian citizen, isn't he, a tourist?" many doubt.

"Yes, the Iranian national. He came from Latvia. Caught up after arriving in Estonia. That's the first case in the country" he explained.

"But have the people he's been in contact with been quarantined?" ask again.

"Indeed, we still have to be careful. Make sure you always wash your hands every time you go home or wherever the opportunity arises. Don't touch or meet just anyone" Luky was like giving me orders. But he was right, that I should be careful. Because here, I'm the one who goes out most often and meets a lot of people.

"Ready boss" I replied while doing the ready position.

"Indonesia how it developed. Let me check the info again. Your vice president says he's immune from praying". He smiled when he mentioned this part because he had time to read the news. Luky started surfing the internet again. He is really interested to know the development of this Corona.

"There was a mother and daughter couple who first got Corona. Now it looks like they're still in quarantine" I said.

"Yes, but a country as big as Indonesia with a business network from various countries can not be just two people. There must be a lot, maybe your country doesn't have the proper tools to test?" Luky frowned at me.

"Maybe" I answered accordingly. Because actually I also do not know clearly what the development is like at this time.

"Hey instead of talking about Corona mulu, playing cards again yuk?" my door.

"Blooded?" he's waiting for an answer. Because it's one of the best we've played.

"Yes, I'll beat you this time" my challenger.

"You've won a lot over the past few days. I defeated the Durak master".

"I know I know, just a few times. I want more".

"Huu! basic thing! You know, I don't teach".

"Come on, I'm adding to it" I whined at him.

Durak is a Russian card game called Durak which means stupid or idiot. This term is often applied to the loser. In the past they called the losers as Durak, so be the name of this game played with the name Durak. This card game can be played by several people. The winner is the one who first spends the cards in his hand.

Durak was present at the right time. When the unrest because of Corona and need a little entertainment. Too stressed by thinking about the condition of this Corona whose news mushroomed every day. On Radio, TV, Newspapers, the internet and all whatsapp groups, full of the same news. On the one hand it is worrying because there are many dead people already in China and some other countries because of this virus.

What if death from this virus also occurs in Estonia? What if the next victim is us? These thoughts often come up, every day. On the other hand, if you think about it, stress because this also can not solve anything.

"Then Durak was also played in prison by the Russians," Luky began the story again about Durak.

"How do you know? Are you German?" I often wonder about his stories. Because often if he tells something as if he is an expert or comes from the place of the story.

"I spent my school days playing cards with Russians. They tell us a lot of Durak's history".

"Oh pantes, you're good at this. You've played it even in school".

Luky started handing out cards. I received 7 cards and for him 7 cards. Next we have fun in this game. Temporarily sidelined concerns over hurricane Corona. Playing cards is nothing new to me. I have a lot of other memories about this. At my school in Aceh first, I have known him even since sitting in Junior High School. Although we played not Durak, but sheets 9 or 41 points and some others.

"Allan how are you?" suddenly tanyanya.

"good. He said he'd call today, but there's no word yet".

"How much love are you with him?" Luky started this process of interrogation again.

"Love only. I don't know how much if you ask me" I replied hesitatingly with my own feelings.

"You're sure he's the one? The soul mate you were expecting?".

"Where do I know if he's the one or not. It's also been a month's walk".

"What if it turns out he's the wrong guy?" this time Luky looked at me seriously.

"It's not pa-pa, it's important I've tried".

"What if he ever had a discussion about this relationship would be taken to a more serious stage?".

"Like?".

"Wedding or getting married?".

"Mhmm not yet. It's still too early. I just got to know" I said.

"Yes anyway. I'm afraid he'll act the same as K".

"Lah K only two years of contact with me can break up. What about this that hasn't been two months. I wish a lot indeed. I love him, he loves me. Just yeah it's him, is he serious about this relationship".

"Be careful, you are exotic. Have a strong sexual attraction. Don't let him just use you for this".

"You why the hell. How about talking about him it feels ugly mute".

"And I'm just telling you...".

"Break! You are loose again".

"Oh no's. You just cheated. How could you win many times".

"You forgot I'm Princess Durak?" I said proudly shaking hands, content to beat him.

"Huh! Who pinned you Princess Durak?".

"Why don't I lose? Sleeping outside tonight".

"Cruel really is. I'm tickling this".

"www.....Luky stop stop....awww!!".

He tickled me all over my body. Laughing satisfied to see me persecuted by his behavior. We were both like little kids. This is what I love to enjoy with her. Be happy until you forget time.
