The Part 54
In accordance with his promise, Citra came to pick up Bagio in Dorm, when it was still early in the morning.
Citra had even arrived at Dorm, before seven in the morning, but fortunately, Bagio was ready to travel when Citra came.
That way, Citra did not have to linger outside the dorm, Bagio had already come out and met him there.
"Do you have breakfast?" ask Citra.
"Yes" said Bagio, while putting his seatbelt on.
Bagio had, indeed, had a cup of coffee without sugar, which was accompanied by fresh biscuits, given by Sucitra.
The biscuits, which he said did not contain many calories, were bought by Sucitra, then placed them on a table in the room, and given permission by him, for anyone who would eat the food.
When Bagio came out of his room, Sucitra was still dressed in there, looking ready for work.
Two of their roommates, however, were seen sleeping soundly, undisturbed, with Bagio and Sucitra pacing around in the room.
According to Sucitra, last night, he quickly came home from the pub, because there was a commotion there, and Sucitra did not want to get into trouble, by staying in that place.
Juno and her partner were there, too, at the same night entertainment venue, so they could return to Dorm together.
Sucitra also had time to say to Bagio, that, if only he had no work schedule today, he actually wanted to go to the village of Bagio, and take a walk there, he said, mumpung there is Bagio, who can be his guide.
But because of the situation that is not possible now, Sucitra finally only made Bagio promise, so that at some time, if they have the same empty schedule, he said, then the two of them will go to the village of Bagio.
And Bagio agreed, because if Bagio has an empty schedule, Bagio will indeed prefer to return to the village, to ensure, if all the relics of his late grandfather, are still well maintained.

The image of driving his car, suddenly reduced the speed of the vehicle, until it finally stopped in front of several street vendors' carts, which were on the side of the road.
"I rarely leave the house at this hour" Citra said, opening her car door.
"Come with me for a minute! I want to buy snacks," said Citra invites Bagio.
Surrounding traders, who are right on the front of a traditional market, are seen trading a wide variety of wet cakes.
"Where do you want?" ask Citra.
"That's all!" Bagio pointed at the lemper cake, which looked still warm, and did look tantalizing.
"Is that all?" ask the image again.
Bagio nodded his head. "Yes." Yeah."
In addition to lemper cake, Citra still choose other traditional snacks, namely onde-onde and cucur.
And before Citra spent the money, Bagio already paid it.
"I saw this place, on a Google Map last night," Citra said, walking back to her car.
"Seeing the photos of the snacks that look good, I want to try it," continued Citra, who looks excited.
"Have you never eaten a snack like this?" tanya Bagio, when the two of them got into the car.
"Earlier. But it's been a long time. Before I moved abroad," Citra said, who then started the engine of her car, then started driving again on the streets.
While driving, Citra seemed to eat the cake of his choice, until Bagio looked at it there.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid that I'll eat while driving?" ask Citra suddenly, who may realize that Bagio is looking at her.
"Calm down! ... My car is automatic transmission. So, I just relaxed driving it," continued Citra, before Bagio could answer his question.
"Not so" said Bagio. "Have you ever dieted?"
Bagio to ask about it, because it feels, every time Bagio meets Citra, the appetite of the woman always looks good.
Citra does not pick and choose foods that must be low in calories, and she also eats in normal portions, even sometimes, Citra eats her food in large portions.
As if, Citra does not feel worried, just in case the weight will increase.
"Pffit ...!" The image of laughing restrainedly, while covering his mouth with the back of his hand.
"I always eat as I like" Citra replied, then stuffed an onde-onde into her mouth.
"Aren't you afraid of getting fat?" ask Bagio.
"Hm ... Do you think I'm fat?" The image back asked.
Flashback, Bagio recalled the time when Citra was only wearing swimsuits, which could make Bagio swallow his own saliva.
Bagio shook his head. "No. Your body's good."
"At overseas, I often eat Junk Food instead ... Fast food. But my body is like this" Citra said, smiling.
"Couldn't you? Are you a tight sport?" ask Bagio, curious.
"I'm a regular exercise" Citra said, then it looked as if she was thinking about something.
...For example, exercising is too extreme. You may be afraid to eat, until you don't eat at all. Or you eat, and then spit it out again....
... If you have experienced Anorexia or Bulimia, it is difficult to return to normal again. And the effect is bad for health. Some even died, because of the disturbance."
Citra spoke to Bagio, with a serious tone of voice, and was convinced of it.
"Yes. I've heard of that. Which he said, usually done by models, to stay thin" said Bagio.
"Correct ... There are already several models that I know, who eventually have to see a psychiatrist, because his health condition has been very bad," Citra said.
"In my opinion, it's better to stop being a model. Than it has to be like that. What good is money, if the body and soul are sick?!" continued Citra, like a man who was grumbling.

When Citra stopped by once again, to refuel her car, Citra took out one of her photo cameras, and gave it to Bagio.
"The camera is kind of standard, but I'm not going to put an extra lens on it" Citra said, as Bagio took a photo camera from Citra's hand.
"But even so, I still want to see you try to take good pictures, on the way," continued Citra again, before they continued their journey.
Along their journey, which led to the village of Bagio, their time was spent chatting casually.
And every once in a while, when they see something that catches their attention, Citra will slow down the pace of the car a little, and let Bagio try to take pictures for himself, using the Citra's camera.
Citra said, Bagio can take pictures as much as possible, and Citra will check the results later, after they arrive in the village of Bagio.
Bagio not only took pictures of the scenery, but he also photographed Citra, when Bagio felt that the shadow of the woman would look good in the photo.
The image realized that Bagio was taking a picture of his face, then laughed, and then said,
"What are you photographing me for? Didn't I tell you to take pictures of the scenery?"
"Yes ... Are you also included in the view?!" sahut Bagio, with a big smile.
"Haha! ... It's smart to seduce now, huh?!" image said, laughing. "Take a look at you later!"
"What can you do? ... Biting me?" Bagio was still mocking Citra, until the woman seemed anxious, as she looked briefly at Bagio.
"Yes! I'll bite your lips, later!" sahut Image's.
"Oohhh! ... Just please! I will wait," said Bagio, not to lose, smiling, and winking one eye at Citra.
"Pfft ...!" The image laughed stifled, while shaking its head.

Upon their arrival at the entrance to the residential area in the village of Bagio, Citra cars indeed seem to attract the attention of the citizens.
So, along the road leading to the house of Bagio, residents in the village who saw the arrival of the Citra car, seemed to stare, to the extent that, they seemed to forget how to blink.
Neighbors who were next to the house with Bagio, even out of the house, and walked closer to the house of Bagio, when the car Citra entered into the yard of the house Bagio.
When he saw the villagers, who were approaching his home, Bagio felt a little confused, because the children of his neighbors who were supposed to go to school, but now, could be seen by him there.
"What day is this?" tanya Bagio, just to Citra, because she saw the day marker on her phone screen.
"Sunday!" Along with Citra answering his question, Bagio also saw the day listed on the phone.
"Want it," chirped Bagio.
"Why?" ask Citra.
"There is nothing" said Bagio, then prepared to get out of the Citra car, and Citra also moved out of the car.
"This is the house of my late grandfather. So, I hope you understand this old house," said Bagio, carrying Citra, go to the front porch of his house.
"House still looks good. It seems, it is still more comfortable to live here, than in the city" Citra said, then sat on the terrace chair.
Bagio then opened the padlock attached to the front door of his house, using the spare key he brought, and left the door wide open.
Some of Bagio's neighbors, then someone came to Bagio at his house, then rebuked, while asking for news of Bagio.
Bagio who welcomed his neighbors, in addition to returning greetings and answering their questions, Bagio also introduced Citra as his close friend.
And Citra also seems to have no objection, and joined in greeting with Bagio's neighbors.
Bagio then asked about Kartono, to the villagers who were still in front of his house.
After getting the information, where Kartono is now, Bagio then said to Citra, saying,
"Kartono, my friend, is in the rice field. I'll follow him there. Do you want to come?"
The image nodded its head. "Yes. But wait a minute!"
After opening the middle door of his car, Citra took out one photo camera, which had an additional lens attached there.
"I'm ready. Let's go!" citra.
