Ren's Secret

Ren's Secret
Bayu Kanigara's



While enjoying the afternoon, on the balcony of his room, Ren's attention had been on the lawn mower who was cleaning the yard, and some watering Bougenville flowers that he planted, he planted, it shifted to a car that just came in.


Ren notices the behavior of a man who just got out of the car. When viewed from stature it looks young, but Ren is not too sure, because he only sees from a distance.


"The snack is non" bi Nina put a plate of chocolate cookies and a cup of tea on the table.


"Bi, who's new?"


"New driver non"


"Kok papa find a new driver, bang Ahmad where is it?" asked Ren while sipping his warm tea.


"Stop non, want to get married he said"


"Kok bang Ahmad did not tell me, very much"


"Ahmad said, if later the wedding event is done, he will come to friendship, with his wife"


"No wonder yes bi, finally bang Ahmad married too, deserved lately, papa often bring his own car"


"The fool has met, I'm looking forward to what else to try"


"He's a bi too, oh he's, papa's new driver, old or young?"


"Young non, maybe not much different from non"


"Tumben papa find a young driver, usually papa more trusting the old, he said experienced"


"About age can not be a measure of non work experience, if life experience may be it"


"True yes bi, later Ren will ask papa, can not borrow papa's new driver"


"Where are you going?"


"Near streets, later aunty also come, sumpek also bi, the routine that has been done only around the house"


"Just arrange non, aunty just come along" said bi Nina with a smile.


Ren meets his father, and expresses his wish. Ren was actually afraid that his father would not allow him. Because his father was worried, with Ren's habits, since Ruli died, from his intention to shop, but at the end of the day, Ren's journey always ended up to Ruli's tomb.


"There are those who want Ren to buy, can ya pa, bi Nina come too really"


"OK, and all papa want to introduce you to Ahmad's successor, his name is Bayu"


"Hai bang Bayu" said Ren, and indeed that is what both of Ren's parents have taught him all along, even with the grasshopper, must be polite, especially if it is an older person of his age, and even with a grasshopper, so the conclusion is not to look at what his work is, but look at his age.


Because even though the maid or whatever her work at home, still manners must take precedence. Because without them, the homework would not be finished. Even though they work because of salary.


"Bang Bayu has been a driver for a long time?" ask Ren to start a conversation


"From graduating high school non"


"Call Ren, don't add non, like we're the same age"


"Just obey nak Bayu" said bi Nina.


"Non, ma'am, ask where are we really going? Sir who seems to tell you, if we go for a walk"


"Say you want to shop bi, surely mama wants to order something"


"Yes, bang Bayu, know the location"


"I also love the bread that is sold there"


"Wah happened to have the same appetite place, mama must be happy, finally have a partner to eat, his favorite food, because papa is not so fond of sandwich, papa more like egg martabak"


 


"Bang Bayu does not order, he said like, but not many people who buy tablets, just choose the stuffing, want more than one is also okay" said Ren, while chewing his sandwich.


"Compose first, then swallow, and then just talk, if choking how?"


Ren just smiled at bi Nina's words. And occasionally steal a glance towards Bayu, who according to Ren is handsome.


"Non, the lady said, later we all invite him, because soon, the arisan is finished, today at whose house bi, where the arisan mama"


"House of Nurul's mother, in the area of the banyan ring road" bi Nina explained its location


"Beni's house whose body is bongsor is bi?" ask Ren.


"He's, instead, Beni's her little friend non"


"Yes, but my little friends are now slowly leaving me one by one"


"There is still a non aunt, and Bayu also would want to be friends with non, he wants Bayu"


"I have to ask Mr. Hadi first bi"


"Kok asked papa everything, it's just friends, not strange"


"The rules are so, if you are working, just focus on working, do not mix personal and work affairs, must be professional in order to be trusted"


"Oh.. So, complicated as well, apparently, papa's rules are a bit strange, but because papa does not see, bang Bayu need not hesitate yes, consider it a friend, okay" said Ren, said, while forming okay on his finger.


During the trip, picking up her mother from her routine activities, namely arisan, Ren felt, as if she had known Bayu for a long time, but where they had met, Ren did not remember her very much.


I want him to ask a lot about the origin of Bayu, but that means, he must have a strong reason, why to know about one's personal identity in detail.


Ren knows very well how typical his father is, in accepting new workers, the most important requirement is identity, all must be clear.


If Bayu is accepted as his father's personal driver, it means Bayu has met the standards of his father Ren.


But still Ren is still curious about Bayu, because finally for the first time, he has peers at home.


You see, the workers who were mostly employed by Ren's father, their average age was far above Ren's.


Though Ren really wants to have a chat friend who is connected, sometimes his mother's arisan friend's child, often visits, if by chance, his transition at Ren's house.


But the chatter is there, it's just a stale base, and the fall is boring. And Ren could see that the children of his mother's arisan friends, such as reluctant to be friends with him.


What because it has strange habits, but what should be, stay away from someone because different, after all the strangeness that is in Ren, is not something dangerous or contagious, so why almost all his little friends, and so on, stayed away.


Ren is sad to remember this, and when Bayu comes, he feels as if he is getting a gift.


But the problem is how to get close to Bayu. Moreover Bayu is too rigid, and he only runs all the regulations according to the standard operational procedures or SOPs given by Ren's father.


Ren continues to look for ways to approach Bayu, so that he can be invited to chat between friends, and because he is still deadlocked, he can only steal a glance if he happens to cross paths with Bayu.
