Painting Images With Light

Part 7's

Foro, who had only entrusted her hair to be tinkered with by Kartono for free, seemed to have underestimated the weak-looking barber's hand.

Although the glasses he wore sagged down almost to his nostrils, the pruning skills of the old man still deserve thumbs up, after Bagio saw the results on Yanto's head.

However, Bagio still felt a little horror, when the razor that vibrated because of the hand of the holder, approached the neck of Bagio.

With a little shaving foam draped over almost half of Bagio's face, the razor's sharpness seemed able to cut down the banana tree in one slash, slowly moving over Bagio's facial skin.

Sreet ... Sreet ... Little by little, Bagio's sideburns and mustaches were thrown away by the barber, until the skin was left feeling bluish smooth.

Without the slightest injury, around the jaw to near his ears, and above the lips of Bagio, now it was clean from the lush masculine feathers.

Now, only Bagio's hair will be trimmed.

On the advice of Yanto, the hair model of Bagio is cut in a style that trends today, wearing an electric shaver that walks on the head of Bagio.

The straight, thick, black hair is still thinned slightly using special hair clippers. And results?

"Cool, bang!" Yanto smiled broadly, as he pointed his two thumbs towards Bagio, who was still sitting on the chair, who was facing the large mirror.

"Mrs! ... Nina!" yanto shakes Karenina's shoulder.

From the reflection of the mirror, Bagio who was still cleaned the remains of a haircut that fell onto his shoulder, could see Yanto who seemed busy disturbing Karenina's concentration from his cellphone screen.

Karenina then looks up, and looks towards Yanto. "What's wrong?"

"That's a loh! ... Let's see! Brother Bagio, look cool and handsome!" Yanto insisted, for Karenina to immediately look towards Bagio.

Karenina then stood up to Bagio to where Bagio was sitting, then, while standing behind Bagio, Karenina looked at Bagio's face in the mirror reflection, with a gaze full of inquiry.

"Hm ... Okay! ... Brother is handsome. But ... Sorry, bang. Why didn't you from yesterday shave his beard?" karenina said astonished.

Karenina did seem to admire the new appearance of Bagio, but the reaction that was seen on Karenina's face, still showed much more confusion, than her admiration.

Bagio simply fell silent, and chose not to answer Karenina's question.

It is impossible right, if Bagio confides about his broken heart to Karenina?! Moreover, if accompanied by the tip of the eye Bagio, which may be a little wet.... Nah!

After Bagio has been cleaned of the remnants of his hair, they do not immediately leave the barber's house.

Karenina actually held Bagio back, to stay standing in one corner of the room. "Watch you stay there for a second!"

"His eyes look there, bang! ... His chin lifted up a little! ... Again! ... Again! ... Yeah, enough! Hold on a second, will you?!"

Apparently, Karenina wanted to photograph Bagio's new appearance there, directing Bagio to pose.

A flash of light from the back of the phone, which is a picture of an apple belonging to Karenina, was seen several times at the tip of Bagio's eye.

"OKay! Already, bang! ... Thank you!" karenina said, then looked at the screen of her phone.

While Bagio stood by the exit, waiting for Yanto and Karenina, Yanto kept his promise to pay all the costs of the services they received, to the barber.

With a simple thank-you note and alternately they said, Bagio, Yanto and Karenina, then left the place.

"We went straight back to where we were staying, huh, bang?!" Yanto. "Thank you!"

"Ooh ...! Ja. I also thank you, because it has been paid the cost of the trim," said Bagio.

"Together, bang!" yanto said casually.

Before Bagio turned into his yard, Karenina held off the steps of Bagio. "Shortly, bang!"

"Yes. Why, deck?" ask Bagio, who stopped walking.

"It!" Karenina then shows a photo of Bagio, on the screen of her phone.

Although Karenina only photographed Bagio using a cell phone camera, but the results were good, and Bagio looked handsome there.

"If you can, just my advice, you should routinely shave your beard and mustache. So, you can look like this when you shoot later," Karenina says.

"Oh ... Okay!" sahut Bagio's. "That's it, deck?"

"Yes, bang," replied Karenina. "We go first. Thank you, bang!"

Yanto and Karenina then walked away, down the country streets, while Bagio walked into his house.

While lying on the bed in his room, Bagio thought about his conversation with Karenina earlier.

The feeling, until the two young men returned to where they were staying, Karenina did not offend the amount of payment she would give to Bagio, for the photo shoot later.

Hm ... Nevermind!

Even if Karenina only gave one piece of blue money, it was okay. Kan, it is not always Bagio until it does not work, just for the sake of being taken photos only.

Moreover, Bagio has no other work offer for the day after tomorrow.

The tired body, the stomach that was full with a plate of rice, and the rest of the side dishes given by the owner of the rice field last day, made Bagio able to sleep soundly that night.

***

"Braa!" An object that felt quite large, hit the roof of the house Bagio, to cause a loud enough sound.

The surprised Bagio jumped down from his bed. What the hell's going on?

Not long after, there was a sound as if someone was walking on a clay tile, which became the roof of Bagio's house.

Followed by the sound of chickens squawking, and the noise of some people talking half yelling, on the side and back of the house.

"Teak, kotek, kotek, koteeeek! ... Tek, kotek, kotek, koteeeek!"

"Mpeyan nyekel pitik-ee ing kono!"

"That, loh! Pitik-ee way to sampeyan!"

"Aaaah! Yo wis! Just catch him!"

Outside, though still vague, the sunlight had already begun to illuminate a small part of the courtyard of the house of Bagio, when Bagio opened the back door of his house.

One of his neighbors' children, standing in the yard of the house, raised his head, looking at the top of the house.

"What's wrong?" ask Bagio.

"Eh, bang! ... Sorry to bother you, huh?!" One of the teenage boys who looked a little surprised to see the existence of Bagio there, then pointed towards the roof of the house. "The point of my mother's release."

Without being asked for help, Bagio rushed to intervene, helping the children to catch their loose pet chickens, and fled to Bagio's house.

After doing a chase that drained quite a lot of energy, finally Bagio and two of his teammates, managed to catch the chicken back.

"Thank you, bang!" The two teenage neighbors walked away, carrying their chickens, after expressing their gratitude for Bagio's help.

Now, the sun has shown its splendor, and if you do not want to be late to go to work, Bagio must rush to the rice fields, without having time to fill his stomach with breakfast.

Bagio just enjoy a glass of empty water, which at once he drank, to replace the sweat that was pouring because of catching the chicken earlier.
