Red Hooded Girl

Seeking Deka

The atmosphere was dim, bustling and noisy so to describe the place where God and Jejed set foot. The two friends visited a classy discotheque in the Metropolitan city, in search of Deka.

Deity and Jejed watch the "night man" coming to this place, trying to find the person they are looking for.

Various types of people are present in this place with various styles of clothing. Starting from those who wear jeans to mini skirts. The plain-clothed to the tight-dressed and open. Various kinds of scents ranging from perfume aroma mixed with sweat, cigarette smell and even the smell of alcohol filled their breathing room.

This was not the first time that God and his companions had set foot in a place like this. Like other young people, they have or several times come to this place to just be creative to eliminate fatigue. An important principle that they hold firmly and that becomes a commitment in music is no drugs and no s*e*x before marriage. No matter what their environment is in getting along, just do not betray their firm principles.

"Hi handsome," said a beautiful woman dressed in a dress on her knees, and with a low cleavage on her chest.

"Hi, Pretty." Jejed who returned the greeting of the sexy woman, while the Gods did not budge at all.

"Excuse me men could pass by" said Jejed every woman who tried to seduce God.

"Men please play to this place, to sono mosque!" sahut the Woman.

God and Jejed continued to walk past the "night man" of the entertainment connoisseur. Netra both browse the entire discotheque room. Noticing some men sitting on the sofa accompanied by some sexy-clothed women talking while laughing.

Then their gaze turned to the dance floor where the nightly humans frisky "ajeb-ajeb" under the floodlights of various colors shooting to and fro a disco lamp that was wired to spin above the middle of the room where they jogged.

"Who...!"

"Well... What?!"

The noise of ajeb ajeb music played by the DJ, practically makes them have to shout loudly when talking.

"Ga there's your brother here!" exclaim Jejed.

With a hand gesture, God told Jejed to follow him. Because if talking will actually drain energy, the sound that comes out of the mouth will be defeated by the frenetic sound of music.

The god walked towards the bar table and Jejed followed behind him.

"Hi, Bil," said God to one of the known bartenders.

"Hi, Wa," replied the bartender named Billy.

"Bil, see my brother?" ask God.

"They??"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I haven't seen him for a long time. Where the hell is he?"

"I'm just looking for him again" said the Lord.

"Bil, you know ga, other than here my brother hangs out where he usually is?" ask the gods again.

Then Billy mentions some nightclubs that Deka might visit.

"OK, sip. Thank you, Bill," said the Lord.

"Sip," said Billy.

After getting information from Billy, the Gods decide to search for Deka at another night entertainment venue.

This is the second night of the Gods and Jejed is looking for Deka. Almost all the nightlife spots in this city they have stopped by. However, it turns out that finding the existence of Deka is not as easy as imagined. Just as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. Even if only God knew, that looking for the existence of Deka in Jakarta is like chopping water. Doing something in vain.

The god placed both hands on his head. "Sial has to go where else we look for Deka," said Dewa frustrated.

"Don't Deka not be in Jakarta, Wa. Maybe he's in another town." Jejed expressed his opinion.

"Yes, yes, too. If he was here, surely Pak Harto's men have found him yes" said God.

"What if we look in another city" Jejed suggested.

"But in which city?"

"Bandung, Surabaya, Medan or not in Bali," said Jejed.

"It's two days left, Jed. Continue how I find it in many cities like that," lamented God.

"What if we split up. I happen to have a need tomorrow to go to Bandung. I'm going to rub the city of Bandung for nyari abang lo, how?"

"Benere lo Jed. You find Deka in Bandung and I'm looking in Bali. But first, I want to go back to Serang." Instantly his wife's beautiful face crossed the space of her heart which was engulfed in deep yearning. "Mina's gang," he said.

Jejed patted his best friend's shoulder. "Lo has to be upbeat, Wa. In my opinion, you should tell Mina about this matter," Jejed suggested.

"Gue's scared, Jed. I'm afraid that I should lose Mina," the Deity shrieked with a distant look.

"Prophey yes, Wa. Hopefully we can find your brother soon" Jejed said.

"Yes about your guess about Clara, later I want to meet Jenny's best friend Clara," continued Jejed.

"That beautiful Jenny?"

"Pretty so-called. He was my Junior High, his real name is Jono now replaced by Jenny."

"What's the matter Jed?"

"If you don't believe it, just open the skirt. You must have found a sword in it."

"Haha...." Both are laughing.

*****

Next day.

"Well, follow the Gods to Serang ya," whined the Gods at his mother.

"Yes, Honey. When are you going to Serang?" tanya Bi Dewi's.

"Now, Ma."

"Not now. How about it in the afternoon?"

"Now it's Ma."

"Singing in the afternoon let your papa come along" said Ms. Dewi.

"Well, do you want to come, Ma?"

"Yes, papa said he wanted to come. Want to meet your future in-laws, he said."

"Well, so Mama can persuade papa," said Dewa sumringah.

"Yes dong. Mama is that."

The god hugged Haru Bu Dewi. "Thank you, Ma" he said.

Madam Dewi smiled as she tightened her embrace. "Mama always prayed for my mother's children" he said sincerely.

*****

More silence was created on their journey. There was no casual chatter let alone serious chatter between them. Only a small suggestion from the driver who asked the road and so on.

When the magrib arrived, God asked to stop his journey in order to perform Magrib prayers. While Bu Dewi and Pak Satya chose to eat at one of the dining places in the Rest Area.

"Oh, look at it. After the departure of the Gods, something changed from the Gods. Now he is diligent in praying," said Miss Dewi who was happy with the change of God.

"He's a former child of the school. Shouldn't it be like that" replied Mr. Satya flatly.

"Yes, but yesterday God wasn't like that."

"That's because the association he's not clear, what band is."

Miss Dewi shook her head to hear her husband's opinion.

"Papa still does not realize that God used to not like to pray because it follows us, because we never pray!" rebut Bu Dewi broke her husband's opinion.

After performing Magrib prayers and eating, they continued their journey to the village of Cibening which was near the distance. Ba'da magrib or before Isya, the family of Gods arrived in front of the house of Haji Zaenudin.

Dewa developed his smile as he got out of the car and stared at the homes of Mimin and the rent he had left four days ago.

"This is your wife's house, Wa?" ask the Goddess after getting out of the car.

While Mr. Satya just flinch while staring at the house in front of him. Perhaps the house of Haji Zaenudin including a luxurious house in this Cibening village. However, of course it is still less luxurious with Pak Satya's house. Especially when compared to the house of Suharto Darwin his father Clara, much different.

"Yes, Mah. And the next one, the contract on the door there is a writing number 1 is the residence of the God, Mah. The gods live together Sol here, "god explained.

"God! You feel at home living in a small contract like that?"

"Small yet gives great happiness Mah," said the proud God.

"Mama's happy you're now changing. So an independent child," said Bu Dewi while patting her son's shoulder.

Then the God swung his steps with great steadiness towards the residence of the wife he missed. Pak Satya and Bu Dewi walked behind him trailing the Gods.

God knocked on the door and said hello several times. Not long after, the door of the house was opened. Opi opened the door for him.

“Ka Dewa,” greet Opi with a smile.

“Abah, Mami, and Mina are Pi?”

“There, Ka. Enter Ka, sit down first,” Opi said before then enter the house to notify the arrival of God. Do not forget to greet the two God parents first.

“That was your wife, Wa?” ask the Goddess. The three of them were sitting in the living room.

“Not Mah. Earlier it was called Opi, his sister Mina,” explained Dewam

“Oh. Her sister is also sweet,” said Bu Dewi.

“Assalamualaikum,” greet Abah so up to the living room. Behind Abah there are Mami and Mimin who also stand.

“Waalaikum greetings,” sahut Dewa and Bu Dewi. While Mr. Satya was silent, he did not answer the greetings.

“Change, Mami, these are my parents,” said Dewa introduced both parents.

Abah and Mami warmly welcomed the arrival of the God family. Madam Dewi smiled kindly while introducing herself. While Mr. Satya, he greeted his prospective besan with a flat face only.

Then the God's gaze turned to the beautiful woman standing behind Abah. Highlight the eyes of the two interlocked, clearly visible twinkle of longing in the eyes of the two.

The two throw smiles at each other. The approaching God is eager to hug and give a friendly kiss to the beautiful wife he misses so much. But the urgency happened because through eye gestures, his wife seemed to say, "don't! there's Abah, Mommy and your parents. Shame to know."

Mimin grabbed the hand of God and kissed the back of his hand.

“Mina, I came with my parents,” said Dewa.

“Ma, this is called Mina... Jasmina Zahra.” God introduced his wife.

“Yes geez. Beautiful amazing your wife, Wa.” Madam Dewi was stunned to see the beauty of Mimin and then threw a friendly smile to her daughter-in-law. “This is Beautiful,” she told Mimin.

Mimin smiled and nodded kindly. Then walked over and kissed the back of her mother-in-law's hand. Madam Dewi hugged Mimin warmly. “You are so beautiful, darling,” he said still fascinated by the beauty of his daughter-in-law.

Then Mimin saluted Mr. Satya, his father-in-law. As usual, Mr. Satya greeted his daughter-in-law with a flat expression.

“Please sit down, Sir, Bu,” Mami said.

Both families sat down. While Mimin went to the kitchen to prepare drinks and treats for her husband and in-laws.

“Ding, how are you, Healthy?” tanya Abah opened the chat.

“Alhamdulillah healthy, Bah. Yesterday fitting home, had a pickle Bah. My hape is gone, so can not tell here,” explained Dewa.

“Oh, so.”

“Pantesan si Tetang urgency, looks like worry so. It turns out that because you guys broke contact,” said Mami.

“Iya, Mih.” God smiled happily to hear Mami's story, that Mimin also had the same feelings as him. Very homesick.

Then created small conversations between Bu Dewi and Mami and Abah. For Mr. Satya is still loyal with his flat expression.

Until then the atmosphere full of warmth was turned into gripping because of the speech of Mr. Satya.

“Haji Pack, Hajj Mom. Straight away, my arrival here is to sever the relationship of my son God with the daughter of Pak Haji!”

“Papa..!” exclaims Bu Dewi and also the God who did not expect Pak Satya would say that.

“So this is Mr. Haji. The former God girlfriend is now pregnant.” Mr. Satya increasingly became, not caring about the reaction of his wife and child.

“And the Gods must take responsibility for the pregnancy of her ex-boyfriend. God will I marry his ex-girlfriend!” said Mr. Satya.

Prahaang....

A tray containing three cups of tea was slid down onto the floor, regardless of the grasp.
