Ride in Bed

Community Service

In the morning, Adrian was ready to leave. He and Jiya were appointed as representatives of the ISIP faculty to conduct community service activities. Other than the two of them, there were still four other fellows who came from different faculties.

This community service activity is planned to take three days. Actually Adrian was quite anxious to leave the Goddess. Afraid that pregnant women experience cravings and want something.

After spending his breakfast, Adrian put the traveling bag into the trunk. Before leaving he approached the Goddess who was sitting sunbathing in the front yard. He sat next to his sister-in-law.

“Wi.. brother go first, yes. Three-day plan in Subang. You're all right here. If you want something, do not hesitate to say the same mom or dad. Or if you are embarrassed, say to bi Parmi, then aunt who told mama.”

“Iya, bang. Just calm. Careful brother, beware of smitten same miss Jiya, hihihi..”.

“You are.”

“Bang.. I actually time to say brother can be in a relationship with anyone. Once upon a time, Jiya was really a soul mate. Ms. Jiya is a good person, beautiful again.”

“You get paid how much he equals promo.”

“Ish..”

This time Adrian could not help but laugh at the pouting face of the Goddess. He was always anxious when he saw the Goddess' cheeks bulging like a puffer fish. Adrian looks at the clock on his wrist. It's time to leave.

“Abang go first. Assalamu’alaikum,” Adrian damaged the top of the head of the Goddess.

“Waalaikumsalam.”

The eyes of the Goddess continued to look at Adrian's back which was getting further away. The man got into the car and opened the window. Waving his hand, Adrian runs his vehicle. Suddenly the Goddess felt sad. Adrian, who used to accompany her as long as Aditya was not around, also left her. And that makes his heart a little gamang, the man will go with Jiya.

Dewi..remember he is only the past, you have no right to be jealous. You have Adit now and your child. Adit. I miss, hiks..

🌸🌸🌸

Adrian's arrival has been awaited by Jiya. As soon as the man arrived, Jiya immediately put her traveling bag into the trunk, then took a seat in the front passenger seat. Before heading to Subang, they first headed to campus to take a letter of duty and also pocket money.

Arriving at the campus, the two lecturers immediately took a letter of duty and pocket money from the campus. Adrian greeted the first four lecturers who will leave together to Subang. In total, they used three cars. After the business on campus was completed, the three vehicles began to leave the campus area.

The journey to the village of Cupunagara, Cisalak sub-district is taken through the path of mount tangkuban parahu. The village they will visit is one of 15 villages that are used as tourist villages in Subang district. In addition to having a good tourist potential, Cupunagara village is also known as an Arabica coffee producing village.

After traveling for two more hours, finally the accompaniment of the vehicle arrived in the village of Cupunagara. Their arrival was of course welcomed by the village head and also the manager of LAD (Village Customary Institution) Cupunagara. Later these six people will stay at the homes of residents during community service activities.

After a formal reception interspersed with casual talk about the potential of the village and the obstacles faced, the village head invited his guests to rest or take a walk around the village. One of his subordinates guided the six men towards the houses of the citizens they were going to live in.

Adrian and Jiya live in different houses. Their residence is only five houses away. Later they will visit schools, village organizations such as PKK, LAD and also coffee plantations. Adrian's arrival was welcomed by Deden and Neneng as the host.

The house that Adrian lived in belonged to an old couple who only lived alone. Their children are married and live separately, some even live in the city. They let Adrian occupy their son's room.

Adrian put the traveling bag into the wooden cabinet in the room. There's not much stuff in this house. There was only a cot with a cotton mattress on it, a wooden cabinet, a table and chairs. The room cover only uses curtains, without doors. After putting his things away, Adrian came out of the room.

“Cep Rian bade kamana ayeuna? Supados dijajap I father (Cep Rian go where now? Let us deliver with father).”

“You met the LAD manager also PKK.”

“Hayu I father dijajap (Let's father inter).”

Adrian nodded his head. He walked with Deden. Some of the people he was crossing threw smiles at him. This is one of the advantages of the Indonesian nation that should be proud of, smile. No matter if they know or not, but a smile is always on the face, indicating the friendliness of this nation.

As soon as the two men passed the house Jiya occupied, the woman immediately joined in. He will also visit the same place as Adrian. Along the way, Deden tells about the state of this village. In addition to having produce that has recently begun to be hunted by many business people. Cupunagara Village also has a beautiful place that is used as a tourist attraction.

🌸🌸🌸

On his second day in the village of Cupunagara, Adrian and Jiya visited the Arabica coffee garden which lately increased demand. Not only from the city of Subang, but also from other cities. The taste of Arabica coffee in Cupunagara village is quite unique. There is a sweet taste like caramel and also sour like fruit.

Currently, the area of coffee plantations in the village of Cupunagara reaches 200 hectares and about 250 residents are involved in it. Every day the coffee farmers work picking ripe coffee beans from seven in the morning to noon. Later the coffee beans will be dried by being dried directly in the sun or dried in a drying room such as a green house.

Many women also work to separate and sort the coffee beans that have been dried. While watching them work, Jiya joined a casual conversation with them. Similarly, Adrian who has a lot of chatting with coffee activists in this village.

“Pak Rian, Ms. Jiya. let's eat first,” invite one of the residents who have prepared lunch for them.

Together with the others, Adrian also Jiya headed to one of the residents' houses to enjoy lunch. Adrian's arrival to this village in addition to providing counseling or counseling, his presence is a separate entertainment for young women who immediately slapped his handsome face.

There are even some mothers who do not hesitate to offer their daughters to the man. But Adrian can always avoid with his subtle language and friendly attitude. The beautiful Jiya is also not spared from the temptation of single men who hold the motto guessing mangosteen fruit. Who knows, someone made Jiya's heart hit.

All the food was on the mat. There are so many people who donate food for this joint meal. There is timbel rice, liwet rice, tempeh, tofu, chicken and fried fish, stir-fry kale, stir-fry toge tofu, chili sauce, sambal terasi, various vegetables and fruit.

“Mangga pak Rian, bu Jiya.”

Adrian started the meal by taking a plate and filling it with rice and side dishes. Jiya also follows along just like Adrian did. He was a little embarrassed to be noticed by the people who were with him.

“Bu Jiya.. if Jiya's mom is ready sir Rian?” ask one of the most senior citizens.

“He's my coworker, mom. We teach at the same campus.”

“Just a co-worker? Nothing else is that?”

“Bu Jiya herself already has a partner yet?”

“Bu Jiya doesn't like it the same sir Rian? Kan handsome.”

Begiulah a series of questions launched by the mothers of the kepo. Jiya was overwhelmed to answer him and chose to be quiet. On the other hand, Adrian was also busy answering the questions of some of the men and women who ate with him.

“Neng Jiya is Rian's girlfriend, right?”

“Not, bu.”

“Euleuh sugan bobogohan tea (facing circuit).”

“Pak Rian likes what kind, I will find,” said a mother while messing around.

“Thank you, bu.”

“If ma'am Jiya already has a boyfriend yet, sir?”

“I don't know. Please ask yourself.”

The barrage of questions kept sounding like a machine gunshot that was emitting a continuous bullet. As much as possible Adrian tried to avoid their shots while putting a smile on his face.

After the activities on the second day were completed, Adrian returned to his place to stay while driving Jiya back to the house of the people he lived in. Many residents were whispering as the two passed by. Many of them also say that Adrian and Jiya are a compatible couple.

“Citizens here turned out to be a lot of kepo also yes, sir,” Jiya laughed a little.

“Yes that's human nature. Always wanted to know.”

“Many of our relationships what.”

No response from Adrian, the man threw a faint smile. Actually Jiya wants to see how Adrian responds to gossip their relationship. But Adrian seems not to care at all about it.

“Many also want to mate ya?”

“For now, I have not thought about getting married. No one is suitable yet,” replied Jiya while looking at Adrian.

“Happy rest, Jiya. Tomorrow with the others we go to Cikaruncang waterfall. I'll pick up tomorrow at eight.”

“Good, sir.”

Adrian nodded his head then continued his steps towards Mr. Deden's house. Several times he returned the greetings of the people who met him. As a foreigner who lived a few days in this village, the welcome of the people is quite friendly.

🌸🌸🌸

Exactly at eight Adrian has arrived at the residence occupied by Jiya. After picking up her bag, the woman immediately followed Adrian's steps towards where the others had gathered. This time they will visit one of the attractions in the village of Cupunagara, the Cikaruncang waterfall.

Curug Cikaruncang is located in Bumi Pertiwi Subang Nature Tourism. Curug is still very beautiful, there are no facilities such as stalls, photo spots and others here.the path to the location of the waterfall is also still in the form of red land. Luckily Adrian and others came when the rainy season was over.

Together with two guides who were locals, the six men walked down the path, through the forest that was still filled with trees. Several times they stopped to take pictures.

After traveling with a trekking that is quite challenging, they finally arrived at the main location of Cikaruncang waterfall.

The sound of water falling from a height instantly greeted their sense of hearing. The air also feels cooler. Tired of them while traveling, paid off with the beauty of the waterfall panorama. Compact everything immediately immortalized itself with the waterfall as a background.

Adrian sat on the rocks to let go of his fatigue. In his hand there is a cellphone used to make videos of places he visited. Surrounding this waterfall is still beautiful, there are no facilities that usually exist in tourist attractions that have been managed professionally.

Jiya walked carefully through the rocks then sat down near Adrian. The hijab she was wearing seemed to move in the wind. He handed over the food that the owner of the house had brought to Adrian. Just a spoon and a fry. Adrian took the lontong and ate it along with the fritters. Jiya took the lontong and fried food and then ate it.

There is no conversation between the two. Jiya was also confused as to how to start the conversation. Adrian's improbable answer, sometimes makes it difficult to continue the conversation. Glimmed Adrian who looks still enjoy the beauty of nature.

Satisfied playing water, exploring the waterfall that is still awake keasriannya and spend lunch brought by local residents, before dzuhur all prepare to return home. Adrian chose to walk in front while talking to one of his fellow lecturers.

Jiya was walking the very back with a lecturer from the food engineering department. Several times the man tried to get along with Jiya. Seeing the beautiful and smart Jiya, the young lecturer was interested in becoming more familiar with Jiya.

Finished performing the dzuhur prayer and say goodbye to the residents and also the village apparatus, Adrian and others returned to Bandung. Jiya still went with him. Before going home, the man first stopped by to buy souvenirs. Honey pineapple is definitely a souvenir option. And for Dewi, Adrian bought snacks made of pineapple, such as pineapple cake, cupcake, pie or pineapple chips. Not to forget he also bought her favorite pineapple drink.

At four o'clock in the afternoon Adrian arrived at his residence, of course the man drove Jiya first to his home. He put the souvenirs he bought on the table. Dewi and Ida who were at the dining table, welcomed the arrival of the man.

“What is this, bang?” tanya Dewi looked at the package that Adrian brought.

“That's pineapple cake, there's the same cupcake pie too. Make mama, I buy pineapple drink.”

“You know mama's favorite. What is the activity there?”

“Alhamdulillah smoothly.”

“Jiya is also coming with you, right? How's it? Are you interested in Jiya?”

It was not Adrian who reacted, but the Goddess who turned her head to her mother-in-law. Adrian did not respond at all to the words of his mother. The man immediately went to his room.

“The child... when to get a mate if his attitude like that continues,” Ida murmured slowly.

The goddess chose to turn her attention to the souvenirs brought by Adrian. Her sister-in-law knows that she likes cake. Especially when pregnant like this, it never gets tired of enjoying the sweet snacks.

🌸🌸🌸

The goddess looked back and forth in her room. Because he saw the status of his friend WA, he wanted to eat martabak telor made by Ewok kang who rode in the Pungkur area. And most strangely, he also wanted to see Kang Ewok make martabak. The man often showed off his skills twirling martabak leather dough.

The eyes of the Goddess were fixed on the clock displayed on the wall of the room. Time has shown at nine o'clock. Dewi confused himself, go alone must not be allowed, want to ask for help Adrian not bear. He had just returned from Subang. Ask papa-in-law for help.

Finally the Goddess chose to lay down her body. He tried not to think about martabak kang Ewok anymore. But when his eyes closed, the shadow of food made from eggs danced before his eyes. The woman nodded when she heard her phone ring. It was my husband who made the call.

“Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam. My beautiful wife how are you?”

“Good... but son mas.”.

“Why my son?”

“She wants to eat martabak kang Ewok, but it's already night want to buy out.”

“Order online only, dear.”

“I want to see directly kang Ewok make martabaknya. It's cool to fit again spread martabak skin dough.”

“Hahaha. Request inter-bang Ad aja.”

“Ngga nice, bang Ad just came home from Subang this afternoon, definitely cape.”

“How do you want to dong?”

“Ngga anything. The power of the dede also wants to be invited to compromise.”

“Ya I have sung yes to the dede.”

The goddess nodded her head while smiling. Aditya put his phone in the right position, the man then picked up his guitar and started playing it. The goddess sang along when the husband sang one of his songs.

“Dede bobo yes, tomorrow just buy martabaknya,” Aditya said after singing.

“Iya, papa,” Dewi imitates the voice of a child.

“Sleep yes, darling. Sweet dreams, love you.”

“Love you too.”

“Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam.”

The video call ended, Dewi's phone screen again showed her wedding photo wallpaper with Adit. The woman placed the phone on the nightstand and laid her body back. Trying to sleep in order to dispel the shadow of martabak telor.
