Pursuing the Love of the Widower

Secret Code

“Hah, the real one?” Grandma Sri immediately stopped her complaints. “Unfortunately this tip works where?” tanyanya enthusiastic.

“I opened a small business, Nek,” replied Manggala low. Though Gendhis knew that the man with slightly shaggy hair was not a random man.

“Biarpun small, but if his own business name is still a businessman,” said Granny Sri. “Ya, already. Come on, let's eat first. The dish is ready.” Again, it was Grandma Sri who made the decision.

After directing the two men to walk first towards the dining room, Grandma Sri suddenly stopped her steps. He blocked off Gendhis arm. “You accept it if offered cooperation with him, yes. Grandma doesn't want you to have a lot of spare time that is not useful while here," he said.

“Why would I have so much free time, Grandma?” Gendhis scrunched his forehead.

“It would be too dangerous for a heartbroken person. You will often daydream, laugh at yourself. At the end, if not crazy, yes suicide,” Grandma Sri replied with narrowed eyes. He indicated that he said very seriously.

“Why the hell, everyone always thinks like that, Grandma? Yesterday Madam Hanum also thought I would kill myself. Like no other guy,” grumbled Gendhis while stomping his feet, then went into the dining room. Come to think of it, what would drive him crazy to commit suicide, was not a broken heart. It is precisely the attitude of the people around Gendhis that makes the girl more stressed.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Sri followed in the footsteps of Gendhis, then walked ahead of her granddaughter. He then sat next to Manggala saying, “My grandson is willing to work at Ujang's place. So, when can he start?”

“Nek!” gendhis protest was half desperate. It has become the habit of Grandma Sri to decide everything without her people's consent. Whereas Gendhis still intends to relax and relax for a few days, in order to calm the mind. However, it seemed like Grandma Sri did not understand that. It was obvious that he didn't want to be at home all day.

“Kapanpun Mbak Gendhis ready, Grandma. I am also ready,” replied Manggala calmly.

“Then start later tonight only,” said Granny Sri.

“Ih, what's Grandma, anyway? Where anyone starts work night-night,” protest Gendhis.

“Ah, many people whose work is precisely night-night. The complex security guard also came out at night," replied Grandma Sri.

"Anyways, faster would be better, Dhis. Grandma wants you to have a lot of activities soon. In addition, let Grandma not have to spend too much,” said Granny Sri.

"Gosh, just got here, too" complained Gendhis quietly.

However, Grandma Sri did not touch him at all. He is more focused on Manggala. “Ujang, know not?” Susena's mother stopped Manggala who almost put a spoonful of rice in her mouth.

The handsome man then smiled as he turned to Grandma Sri. By force, he put his spoon back on the plate. “Why, Grandma?” tanyakanya.

“Gendhis it rarely takes a shower. After bathing, it must be electric and hot water,” said Granny Sri fiery. “Can be out of money retired Grandma then how,” fret women with glasses perched on the nose, without any hesitation at all.

“Yes, God! This is how I have a grandmother. Good thing it's the only one." Gendhis raised both his hands high. Gone was his pride in front of Manggala. Gendhis already had nothing good to show the man.

“Then let Genthis come to the office tomorrow morning for an interview, Nek,” Manggala said without caring about Gendhis grievances.

"Well! That's much better" said Grandma Sri enthusiastically.

"But tomorrow is Sunday." Gendhis propped up his chin while playing the spoon on the plate.

"It's okay. Some are overtime, really. Tomorrow I will stop by the office" said Manggala.

"What's? On a Sunday? That's right!" Gendhis felt inexhaustible. He didn't know what to say, other than to give code 69 to the handsome man he just met.

Manggala who actually did not really understand the code 69 from Gendhis, immediately replied by giving the code 86. That, made Gendhis knit an eyebrow. But the girl pretended to understand. Gendhis nodded like a Flaming Bird in the song.

After Manggala died, suddenly Gendhis cell phone rang. Kalini's name appears on the screen. I don't know why Chand's mother contacted him. Gendhis also chose to sit on the rattan chair on the terrace. "Hello. Good day, auntie?" gandhis was doubtful.

"Hello, Dhis. How are you?" reply Kalini.

"Good news, aunt. Aunt herself how?" Gendhis asked back.

"This, Dhis. Aunty still feels disappointed by Chand's decision. But how else. Chand's decision is like a broken glass. It is hard to get back to being like it was. Chand looks calm. However, when he has made a decision, then he will not pull it again" Kalini explained. The widow of the two children exhaled softly.

"Then?" gendhis asked still not catch the intention of Chand's mother contacting him.

"How about we have lunch together tomorrow? But you came alone. Don't keep it with your dad." Kalini sounds misgivings.

"Oh sorry, Auntie. Not that I refuse, but I can't" said Gendhis carefully.

"Why, Dhis? Don't you want to see aunty again?" Again this sounds restless.

Genphis did not answer immediately. He was worried whether to answer honestly or lie. The girl also stared at the sky that overshadowed the city of Bandung. It looks so bright and beautiful too. Gendhis was hoping to gain enlightenment from there.

"Whatever the reason, Mama doesn't like it when you lie." Always, such words were what the mother had said to Gendhis.

"Lying a little for the legitimate good. Being too honest can kill us, too." The father chimed in with the opposite words.

Both the opinions of his parents make Gendish confused. The girl just watched the mama who was fighting with the papa, in order to win their respective opinions.

"Dadeuh." Gendhis exhaled in annoyance, making the shadow of his two feuding parents immediately turn his head.

"Why, Dhis?" susena and her husband asked simultaneously.

"I have to how?" ask Genthis.

"Well, you lied too? What did that do for Chand? He won't let you come here, even if you say where you are now" replied the mother.

"Well, Papa agrees once," Susena chimps along with the disappearance of the shadows of the two parents of Gendhis, from the left and right sides of the girl.

"Alright," said Gendhis after a moment of pensive contemplation to seek enlightenment from the heavens.

"What's 'good'?" ask Kalini wonder.

"I mean .. I can't take a lunch call from auntie. The reason, because now on vacation in Bandung. I want to calm down, soul, body ...."

"Hand?" kalini interrupted Gendhis speech.

"Yes. What's the matter, auntie?" asked Genphis curiously.

"It's okay. How fortuitous. Chand has also been in Bandung for two days," replied Kalini, causing Gendhis to falter.
