The Part 67



Although Bagio has a lot of free time between his two work schedules, but Bagio does not want to meet Sarimunah's father at the police station.


Bagio preferred to pretend to forget that the old man was in prison, and would probably remain there for a long time.


Maybe at first, Bagio had felt sorry for Sarimunah's father, and wanted to forgive him.


But not right now.


Bagio has been through a lot of hardships, due to Sarimunah's father and family.


And at this time, Bagio actually began to think of revenge, until the Sarimunah family was really down. 


"Where did the good-natured Bagio go?" chirps Sucitra.


Bagio who had just finished issuing his frustration to Sucitra, did not respond to the joke from Sucitra.


"It's good, if you can vent your anger. It can help you, in order to reduce stress in your brain," Sucitra said.


Bagio and Sucitra are currently on their way to the yoga practice site. 


Because according to Bagio the place is not too far away, then Bagio invites Sucitra to walk there, and Sucitra also agreed.


"Do you not want to ask for compensation to the people—ayah Sarimunah—it?" ask Sucitra. "Or would you rather, if he was just in jail?"


"What do you mean?" ask Bagio.


"Why don't you just pretend to make peace? ... You asked her family to reimburse you for all your medical expenses. Starting from your stay in the hospital, to the cost of psychiatrists," replied Sucitra.


Bagio had never thought about it before, and according to Bagio, what Sucitra said had a point.


If Sarimunah's family could reimburse all the expenses, which made Bagio indebted to the agency, then Bagio would no longer be burdened with that debt.


"But ... In that case, I have to retract the report of the persecution that he did," Bagio said.


"Yes ... But you said earlier, he was reported by your RW Chairman, right?! In that case, he would still be processed with a different report....


... If you manage to arrange it, you can get compensation, and he will still be jailed. Although maybe, his time in prison, will not be too long," said Sucitra.


"Do you think you can?" ask Bagio curious.


"Maybe ... Try it first!" replied Sucitra, lightly. 


"Or at least try to find the information first. You came to the police station, to meet with the man, and then look for the information there" Sucitra continued.


It does not hurt, if Bagio tried, what was said by Sucitra, because mana knows it can work.


"You've already paid?" asked Sucitra, suddenly.


"Not ... Hana said maybe the day after tomorrow," replied Bagio. "Why?" 


"It's okay. I just asked, because my salary has not yet come in, either" replied Sucitra.


"Eh! ... I just remembered. How much does it cost to practice yoga?" ask Bagio, again.


"Not think about it. I already paid for it." Sucitra then threw his cigarette butts, carelessly into the streets.


"That's exactly it ... You paid for it?!" bagio.


"You can replace it, by taking me for a walk to your village" said Sucitra, who appeared to be careless.


"Magazina! ... You never told me. Do you have any family?" ask Bagio.


"There ... Only my father is still alive. My mother passed away, giving birth to me" Sucitra replied.


"Eh! ... I'm sorry," said Bagio.


"What are you apologizing for?" Sucitra. "My father's been married again, since I was five."


"Then, don't you have to send her money?" ask Bagio.


"No need. She's still working, my stepmother's working. They are both civil servants. Until one of them dies, still get a salary" said Sucitra.


Sometimes, Sucitra's style of speech, it can indeed make Bagio confused because of it.


Sucitra always looks indifferent to the world around him, but if it can be close to him, it seems Sucitra is a person quite attentive.

From some yoga poses for beginners such as Bagio, it feels that can make Bagio sweat wet, is a plank pose.


Uttihita Chaturanga Dandasana, as Ganika calls it.


Bagio's arm trembled, only to hold his body from leaning on the floor.


Though the time still free to exercise first, Bagio often train his arm muscles. 


But when doing that one yoga movement, Bagio as if there is no strength in his arm.


From a distance not too far away from where Bagio posed, Sucitra who was caught off guard by Bagio, was glancing at Bagio, and always just smiled as they exchanged glances, it was as if Sucitra was mocking Bagio.


Bagio to feel anxious to see the behavior of Sucitra, who occasionally blinked one eye, while looking at Bagio.


Ckck! 


Just wait for the reprisal of Bagio later!


Want it feels like Bagio proved, if his arm muscles are still able to withstand push-up movements, up to dozens of times. 


It was fortunate that Bagio was still able to control himself, otherwise ... Nevermind!


Bagio still needed Sucitra to accompany him, in order to sleep soundly, for the next few nights.


If Bagio to think negatively, then Bagio may even be less sleep later.

"Pff.ht...! Ahaha!" Casually, Sucitra let out a laugh, as the two of them were already on their way back to Dorm.


"Is it that hard?" sucitra asked, after he might have been satisfied, to laugh at Bagio.


"Don't make fun of me! ... It's just because I'm not used to it yet" Bagio said, defending himself.


"But what do you think? Is this sport fun or not?" ask Sucitra.


"Fun fun anyway fun. But can it really help you lose weight?" 


Bagio still feels doubtful, if the exercise is not much moving, it can really burn calories.


"of course! You will see the results! ... It's not instant, but if you do it regularly, the results will be visible," said Sucitra.


"Indeed if you want faster, yes strenuous exercise. But you still can't, right?!" continued Sucitra again.


"I don't know ... I haven't seen the doctor yet" replied Bagio.


"What about your food?" asked Sucitra, then lit a cigarette of his.


"Hana ordered it, from the restaurant you suggested," replied Bagio, scratching his head. "Eat all vegetables."


"Yes, that is! ... It's a vegetarian food" said Sucitra. "But it still tastes good, right?"


"Yes, good ... So it's kind of like, like when I was quarantined. The difference is, there is only no meat," replied Bagio.


"Is your meat still lacking?" asked Sucitra, glancing towards Bagio.


At first, Bagio was confused by the intent of Sucitra's question.


But after thinking about it for a while, and seeing the look on the face now shown by Sucitra, Bagio understood that Sucitra was mocking him.


"Eh! ... Watch out for you, yeah! You've been mocking me!" said Bagio ketus, while chasing Sucitra who looks to have run while laughing.


Bagio was a bit overwhelmed, to chase after Sucitra who ran far in front of him, until they almost arrived at the gate of Dorm, and Sucitra was suddenly seen just standing there.


Bagio who was able to catch up with Sucitra, then quickly, curled the neck of Sucitra, using one of his arms.


"Baggio!" sucitra exclaimed half-collared, then held the arm of Bagio coiled around his neck, and tried to let go.


"Bagio! ... Stop that!" said Sucitra again, pointing towards the gate of Dorm.


Looking at Sucitra's hand, Bagio then came to see in which direction Sucitra pointed.


Apparently, in front of the gate of Dorm, there is a picture there. 


Citra was standing still, staring at Bagio and Sucitra there.


Bagio was completely unaware of the existence of Citra there, when he approached Sucitra earlier.


Slowly, Bagio removed Sucitra's neck, and Sucitra said,


"I went in first! ... You just talk to him."


Without lingering any longer, Sucitra walked past Citra, and entered Dorm, leaving behind Bagio and Citra.


Bagio walked slowly, and planned to catch up with Sucitra, by entering Dorm, but Citra blocked his steps.


"Do you still not want to talk to me?" ask Citra, slowly.


Bagio fell silent while staring at Citra, who was also staring fixedly at Bagio.


"I don't know what to say to you" said Bagio.


Suddenly, Citra hugged Bagio, then said,


"What's my fault? Why are you like this?"
