Owner of Heart #1
Chapter 29
Apparently my body was a lot more tired than I imagined, I fell into a deep sleep on my comfortable bed complete with a thick blanket wrapped around my body, I only woke up for a short time to pray at dawn and went straight back to sleep until I finally woke up when I heard my phone ringing.
With my eyes slightly closed I saw who sent me the message and then smiled when I saw the sender was the man last night driving me home. My eyes are now open perfectly, still with the position of the bed I opened the contents of the message and then laughed when he saw a photo where the Lieutenant took a picture with the brother of the ketoprak seller whose right hand held the yoke while his left hand showed the index finger and the middle to form a V sign with a smile adorning his face.
“Report! Already up to Jakarta, now want to have breakfast ketoprak first. don't get the same focus as his brother-branch corpsman ya.”.
“Hehehe... beware do not take photos of the two later brother impersonator ngaku-ngaku girlfriend Mas Yudha could be dangerous later.”
“Hahaha..
“Hahaha.”
“Again?”
“But up, hehehe.”
My phone suddenly went off but it wasn't the message that came in but the video call from the Lieutenant made me furrow my eyebrows for a while before I smiled and without thinking I raised it.
“Hai...” my handkerchief with a slightly hoarse voice woke up with a smile when he saw the handsome face of the Lieutenant who appeared on my phone screen.
“Hai,” reply still with a wide smile with eyes looking at me softly as usual.
“Why suddenly video call?” I asked while closing my mouth because yawning made the Lieutenant laugh.
“Nothing just want to see your face when you wake up and listen to your voice that is still hoarse like this.”
Instantly I realized that I had not even washed my face which meant that my face was still wrinkled! As fast as lightning I pulled the blanket over my head and I could hear the Lieutenant laughing, making me lower the blanket until only my eyes could see.
“Udah yes! Close first!”
“Why?” He asked still with a wide smile adorning his face.
“Still messy haven't showered.”
“Hahaha... it's okay to still be beautiful, even now you look prettier than usual.”
Secretly behind the blanket I smiled at her praise. I could see the Lieutenant taking the ketoprak plate that the seller was delivering.
“Bent, Bang! Beautiful no, Bang?”
Instantly I was wide-eyed when I saw a foreign face adorning my phone screen.
“Beautiful, Mas, his eyes are very beautiful his face must be more beautiful,” praise the brother ketoprak make the Lieutenant laugh proudly.
“My candidate it, do not like ya Bang, later my rival added a lot.”
“Iiih Mas Yudha What the hell?!” I laughed embarrassedly at his words.
“Let's just, let everyone now know that you are mine.”
“Hahaha... candidate, is not yet valid.”.
“Iyaaa candidate, hehehe.”
“Have the protocol been made? Yes already ate first gih, later call again if it is done.”
“Yes already, I ate tar first if the business is done I contact again.”
“Ok.”
“Bye, Za.”
“Bye Mas Lieutenant.”
“Mask there but don't dress up and be pretty-beautiful.”
“Why?”
“Tar many like.”
“Hahaha.. Mas Yudha too, don't hang out on the roadside for long.”
“Why?”
“Tar passing on likes, what's more wear rich uniform so it's double handsome.”
“Hahahaha..just calm later same brother said that I already have a beautiful and fierce candidate.”
“Hahahaha... Yes already, close the phone first he said he wanted to eat.”.
“Hehehe... yes already, now really bye-nya.”.
“Hehehe... Assalamualaikum, Mas Lieutenant.”.
“Wa’alaikumsalam, Za.”
I lay back with a big smile while hugging the bolster for a while before finally leaving the room to enjoy this holiday while waiting for the Lieutenant to come home from Jakarta.
Arga came to the house at about 4 pm but he was even fun playing PS with Dirga and only able to chat with me after the magrib prayer. We sat on the back porch with a bowl of pempek in our hands.
I told him about what happened to Musi Rawas including about Bang Eddy and Leona, I even showed the screen shot of the Lieutenant to prove that he did not lie. As usual Arga listened to me carefully even with a mouth full of pempek.
“Everyone in the camp at that time suspected the Lieutenant's relationship with Leona, only I wasn't. Maybe because it was blinded by anger and disappointment so it all escaped my attention.”
Arga looked at me for a moment then nodded.
“Continue now how?”
“What's the way?”
“You're with him, not yet?”
“But.”
“Why?” Arga asked again while bribing the pempek into his mouth.
“I don't want to before the same problem Leona and Bang Eddy sorted out.”
Arga nodded in agreement.
“We'll see if he'll solve this problem or just be left so rich yesterday.”
“I promise I'll take care of it.”
A heavy voice made me and Arga startledly looked back where the Lieutenant standing in the doorway was still complete with his uniform.
“Mas Yudha! When to?” I stood up with a happy smile to see her coming.
“Just now, Dad told me to go straight to the back said you're the same Arga again here.”
I nodded with a smile still adorning my face.
“Do not grin mulu, tar his teeth dry,” said Arga who immediately made my smile wider and it made Arga roll his eyeballs while shaking.
“Mas Yudha is Arga, my friend from the time of Junior High.”
They now shake hands with eyes still judging each other.
“Still need me to hit until all his teeth fall out ga?” Arga whispered making me look at him with round eyes when remembering his promise first.
“Do not!” Reflexively I almost screamed with my eyes round looking at Arga.
“But I promised.”
“No! I promised I'd cancel.”
“And I promise not you, Key.”
“You promised me it would be the same, so it's up to me dong.”
Arga looked at me while shaking his head.
“Ckk..
“Biarin.” I smiled triumphantly as I pulled Mas Yudha's hand to sit down and join us around the table of white wrought iron that was deliberately placed there complete with 4 chairs of the same material for us sit back and relax like now.
“What promise?” ask the lieutenant in curiosity.
“Promise to make someone's teeth fall out because it has made him cry... Aww!!!!”
I immediately kicked Arga's calf in disbelief that he was going to say that.
“Not to be heard, Mas, he likes ngaco.”
“Whose first asked? Aww!!!” I kicked the other calf back.
“Do I need to order dentures now?” the Lieutenant asked grimacingly and making us look at him and then laugh.
“No need, if I keep my promise, I think I will also need dentures because Kekey will definitely make me lose my teeth as well,” Arga said as she looked at me who just shrugged his shoulders casually.
“Mas Yudha, just returned from Jakarta?”
“Iya.”
“Live here?”
“Iya.”
“Not go home first?”
“If you go home first scared overnight.”
“Cape sure is so?”
“Engga also, Jakarta-Bandung now only 2-3 hours if it does not jammed.”
“Macet not earlier?”
“Engga.”
“Have his office done?”
“Already.”
“Have eaten yet?”
“Before?”
“Mas Yudha has not eaten yet? What do you want to eat? Chicken pecels want to? Or satay? Or rice padang?”
“Woi! Keys! nanya slowly, continue to mgeliatinnya ordinary, Mas Letnannya will not say kok, now make first drink, cassian kan cape new come from Jakarta even directly introgasi rich gitu.”
“Hehehe.. Mas Yudha want to drink what?”
“Anything,” said the Lieutenant with a smile making me smile before finally standing up to take a drink.
“Nitip yes, Ga... don't like, he already has a candidate for the problem.”
“Iih amit-amit, still normal, Key.”
“Hahahaha.”
I laughed as I walked inside and I could hear the Lieutenant laughing as well. I walked into the kitchen and passed the living room where my mom and dad were watching TV.
“Yudha just got home from Jakarta?”
“Iya, Well, come straight here if you go home first afraid of the night he said.”
“Kasian must be tired, have eaten yet?”
“He hasn't, Bu.”
“Waduh... eat what dong yes? I didn't cook about it.”
“Buyin pecel ayam si Dul want to not?”
“Don't know, Well, Kekey will ask now Kekey wants to make a drink first.”
Dad nodded and I walked back to the kitchen to make the Lieutenant syrup. I went back to the back porch with a glass of syrup, I saw Arga and the Lieutenant talking and it seemed quite serious but they stopped the conversation after seeing me coming.
“Ngomongin what?”
“Male secrecy,” replied Arga with his ignorant smile while standing, “Udah ah! Go home first yes.”
“Cock home, Ga?” ask the Lieutenant while standing.
“already from earlier, Mas, anyways if here continue to tar disturb again.”
“Iya really too,” said the Lieutenant made me laugh.
“Hahaha... nitip him, Mas, don't let it cry again rich yesterday.”.
The Lieutenant nodded confidently while receiving Arga's helping hand, “I'll make sure from this second he will only smile, although he cries I will make sure it is happy tears.”
Arga nodded in confidence with the words of the Lieutenant. Finally, the Lieutenant and I drove him forward until the bike was completely invisible.
“You're lucky to have friends like Arga, Za.”
I nodded with a happy smile because the Lieutenant also thought the same as me about Arga, one of the important people in my life like my own family.
