Ride in Bed

Concert Held

After performing the dzuhur prayer service at the mosque near the contract of the Soleh Hajj, Aditya returned to his contract. After changing his coco shirt with a t-shirt, the young man came out of the house. He intended to buy a lotto sold by Nenden. Some buyers seem to be there. Aditya stepped foot towards where Nenden was selling.

“Bu.. loteknya one.”

“Eh, son Adit. Spicy no?”

“Sedang aja.”

“Daunggu yes. Queue first,” Nenden threw his smile.

“Siap, bu.”

Aditya immediately returned to his contract. As soon as the young man passed, Lia's mom, Farah's mom and Titin's mom, started asking Nenden about Aditya's figure.

“That's a new occupant huh, bu?” ask Lia.

“Iya, just this morning the entry.”

“Name Adit?” now it's Farah's turn to go.

“Iya, her friend Dewi.”

“Duh Dewi tuh lucky ya have friends handsome-bull. There's Roxas, and now Adit. His class guardian is also handsome. Kok I kepengen so Dewi ya,” Lia giggled herself to hear his words.

“Emang bu Lia know where her homeroom teacher Dewi handsome?” ask Titin.

“Can that time ever be here. Mana is young. I thought it was Dewi.”

“Bu Nenden has three potential ghosts. If you need help with your selection, we're ready for kok.”

Nenden laughed at the absurd chatter of his neighbor. But their conversation comes to a halt when Aditya reappears with the guitar in his hand. He pulled out the plastic chair there and sat down near Nenden's sales desk.

“Taking a wait for the order to finish, how about I entertain, beautiful mothers,” bargain Aditya.

“Ya to oruh. Meni casep pisan, saha namina? (that's so cute, what's his name?).”

“Aditya, mom. Call aja Adit.”

“Sok or Adit, sing for us-us,” Titin said excitedly.

“You what song?”

“What ajelah, the important is good to hear.”

“Siap.”

Aditya tuned his guitar first while strumming the strings a few times. After it felt right, he fell silent for a moment, thinking about what song to bring. Shortly thereafter, the sound of his guitar was heard.

“Tiara memgamit memories of school age. Tiara, I dream we're hanging out on the heaven. As if I could touch last night. On the night of the feast, you whisper the word amulet in the ear.”

Everyone there, including Nenden, was immediately stunned to hear Aditya's sweet voice. While continuing to knead the peanut seasoning for the lotek order, the woman heard verse by verse that Aditya sang. While the three buyers, pay attention with unblinking eyes. Their eyes and ears were presented with something so beautiful.

“Someone knows this song not bu?” aditya asked on the sidelines of his song.

“Tau,” replied Titin enthusiastically.

“Come sing along with me bu,” invite Aditya.

The goddess who was studying in her room, began to be disturbed when she heard a melodious voice singing one of the songs that went viral some time ago. He immediately recognized that it was the voice of Aditya. The girl rushed out of the house to be sure.

“If you meet me like this. Muddy bodies and sweat wet the earth. In prison, locked up, punished. Just making friends. Can you appreciate. This sacred love of mine?”

Lia and Farah covered their ears together as soon as they heard Titin singing the song. Aditya deliberately gave the woman a chance to sing, while she was just accompanying him with her guitar. The goddess who had just come out was also shocked to hear the magical voice of Titin. Luckily their suffering ended quickly because Aditya had finished the song.

“Singing again, Dit,” pinta Lia.

“Now the duet is the same Goddess, do not be the same bu Titin,” said Farah. Aditya just chuckled at hearing it. With an eye gesture, he asked the Goddess to sit nearby.

“You sing what?” aditya asked, turning his head to the girl.

“Ehmm.. what is it? One heart to death, how?”

“Bby.”

Aditya was silent for a while, trying to remember the guitar chord of the song that the Goddess mentioned earlier. Then his finger began to play the guitar strings in his hand. The two prepared to sing a duet song that was chosen by Dewi.

“Walau cries this heart-wrenching. My beloved will remain immortal. Until the end of your time. You're all I love,” Dewi sings her part first.

“Dead oath, not intent at heart. 'I'm leaving you, oh, love. I walked away because of the promise. Worry, Love, you are sad,” Aditya connect the next part.

“This new match,” said Lia.

Back Nenden lotek customers presented a beautiful appearance Aditya who is now duet with Dewi. It turned out that their singing attracted several other rented residents. They gathered near where Nenden was selling. Some even ordered a lotto. Of course Nenden was happy, the sale was suddenly in demand because of the impromptu live music initiated by Aditya.

Unknowingly all who were listening joined in shaking his limbs. Some wiggle their thumbs, their heads, even Titin is not ashamed to wiggle his hips.

“Only you, Love, the one I love. Unreplaceable. May you and I one heart to death. Faithful is irreplaceable,” Aditya and Dewi sing the last part simultaneously. Harmonization of the sound of the two increasingly make the audience slammed.

The sound of applause was immediately heard when their song ended. They immediately asked the impromptu artist to sing back. Seeing the enthusiasm of the audience and for the sake of controlling the sale of her mother's lotto, Dewi finally willing to sing again. He and Aditya were back in talks.

“Ok.. Our second song is an old song by Doel Sumbang and Nini Karlina, miss me miss you, agree?” ask Aditya.

“Agree,” answer the others compact.

Aditya is back playing his guitar. The rhythm of the song they sang this time was more cheerful to make the watching unbending to join sway. Titin, Farah and some others immediately jogged to the rhythm of the guitar played by Aditya.

The melodious voice of the Goddess feels so fitting when duet with Aditya whose voice feels soft in the ears. Plus both have an attractive face, really a perfect blend, both from the voice and face.

“When suddenly the waves in the high tide,” Aditya look on the Goddess.

“Love we both also plug, dear,” Dewi stare back at Aditya.

“When suddenly the waves in the sea recede.”

“Love we both stick.”

Whether because of the ability to sing the two young people or the lyrics of the song sung according to the current state of their hearts, the song they sang so fitting to the heart that heard it. Nenden, who was still busy making orders, quietly took notice of the interaction of the two people. He was sure that they had been hit by the cupid's arrow.

“Duh Adit, your voice is really good anyway,” praise Farah.

“Iya, very suitable duet with Dewi,” timpal Titin.

“Don't you guys date ya,” terka Lia.

“Ng.. ngga.” deny Dewi quickly while glancing at the mother.

“We are not dating. Just the process of ta’aruf until sermons and marriage. Doain ya mothers,” said Aditya.

“Wah bu Nenden want to ghost in a moment,” seduce Lia.

“Aamiin.. aamiin. thanks for the good prayer,” said Nenden.

“Don't forget the invitation yes.”

The goddess could not say anything hearing the comments of her neighbors. The girl was only able to fall silent while lowering her head, hiding her blushing face from Aditya's words.

“When to bed Dit?” ask Farah.

“Later ma'am, if my savings were enough. The goddess also wants to go to college. If married now, yes I love Dewi singing doang hehehe.”

“Can be you. But I pray you guys mate and get married quickly,” Lia sincerely pray.

“Aamiin.”

“Tomorrow concert again, yes,” pinta Titin.

“In Shaa Allah, ma'am. Tomorrow morning yes, while breakfast yellow rice and rice uduk.”

“Siap.. tomorrow we come here for breakfast together.”

Aditya raised both his thumbs. His heart was happy to see the enthusiasm of these rented residents. Hopefully what he did was able to boost the sales of his future mother-in-law.

“Really Dit, want another concert?”

“True. Selling mom is selling. If you can, bring Rox here tomorrow. We're a three-way concert, kept on recording. Let your mother sell more viral. Keep eating places ready. We can title mats or carpets, rich lesehan that. Agree no ma'am?” Aditya looked at Nenden.

“Set up with you. If Adit nak doesn't mind, mom is happy aja.”

“Mother is calm. Tomorrow Goddess calls troops here to help.”

In the brain of the Goddess was imagined asking Roxas, Micky and Hardi to come. They can study together before the exam. The goddess looked at Aditya who was sitting beside her. The presence of the young man was like a rainbow that made his life beautiful after the heavy rain that struck at the departure of his beloved father.

🌸🌸🌸

“Aditya?” ask Eagle.

“Iya, Chef.”

The eagle immediately invited Aditya to get acquainted with other kitchen staff. Seeing that there were new members joining, all welcomed his friendly arrival. For a moment they stopped their work.

“This is Aditya, the new DW in charge of the steward section,” Eagle introduces to everything.

“Chief Steward you, Mr. Dadan, but today he's off. Now you're the same job Akay, yeah. He will help you with your work. Kay.. help first yes,” Eagle look on Akay.

“Siap, chef.”

“Si Ateng boga rival euy,” chirps one of the staff who is there.

Without wasting any time, Akay immediately guided Aditya to do her job. The man explained what Aditya had to do, teaching him how to use the dishwasher and whatnot. Aditya listens intently and begins to try what Akay says one by one.

As a start Akay asked Aditya to do the work she already understood, such as cleaning the garbage, drying the furniture and arranging it on the shelf. The man was happy, in addition to being quick to respond, it turns out Aditya was also deft at work. In addition, his suble attitude made Aditya easy to blend in with others.

🌸🌸🌸

By nine o'clock in the evening, the crew in the new kitchen could rest. The tight schedule of meetings at the Amarta hotel, making them continue to struggle to prepare food for the meeting participants. Eagles allow them to rest in turn. Akay invites Aditya to rest her body in the basement, where she and her friends spend time resting.

Akay took out a pack of cigarettes and took a stick, presented the box to Aditya, but subtly rejected. After putting the cigarette pack back in his pants pocket, the man burned his cigarette. Smoke immediately shimmered around him.

“Where? Hard to work?”

“Alhamdulillah, not bang.”

“Cape for sure, his name is also coolie. This is the work in the kitchen. If you say Eagle, the kitchen is like a battlefield. We are at war with time and the desires of diverse consumers. Must withstand criticism and hold up as well. Do not be surprised if at any time there is a rampage again pursued time,”, Akay explained at length while sipping his cigarette.

“Pak Eagle fierce huh?”

“Ngga.. pak Elang tuh santuy his person, if it can still be spoken well, will not be angry. Ex Chefnya, too, santuy. What's wrong is the CDP, Mr. Jose.”

“Pak Jose his boss pack Eagle?”

“Bawahan. If Ex Chef is Mr. Soni, sous chef Mr. Eagle, well under him CDP, Mr. Jose. Beuh he mah anything innannya ngegas mulu. Sometimes I want a tampol with gas tube.”

“Hahaha.”

Aditya couldn't help but laugh at Akay's words. From the look of his face looks dislike when mentioning the name of Jose. But it made him curious, what kind of man named Jose was. There was no such thing as that when we met.

“Which Jose sir? He didn't come in?”

“Ngga, today she is off.”

“He's an outer descendant of that? His name is Jose.”

“Hahaha..”.

Akay even fell back to hear Aditya's question. Even the man coughed as a result of his cigarette smoke ingested. Aditya patted the back of Akay who was still coughing, the man to the point of throwing away his cigarette that had just run out half.

“Jose the original Sundanese derivative. So gini yes, in the kitchen there are three names Asep, two parts cooking, one steward. The first one, Asep Herdiansyah, was his real name Jose. I don't know where he got the inspiration from when he asked to be called. Two, Asep Wijaya, his call Ateng.”

“Ateng?”

“Iya, aka Asep Ganteng hahaha.. but among Asep's name, he is the most handsome, even in all kitchens, without involving a pack of Eagles yes. But now his most trusted title has moved to elo, Dit, hahaha..”.

“Can aja. Keep Asep third?”

“He's just as rich as us, in stewards. His name is Asep Radian, commonly called Rajet.”

“That's weird, Rajet.”

“Because among Asep's name he whose face is the most beautiful aka horahahaha.. Hence called Rajet, aka Radian Bajret hahaha.”.

Back Akay's laughter echoed, no doubt Aditya also laughed to hear it. It turned out that his new environment worked, not inferior to the environment of his friends. Looks like he'll really enjoy working with the kitchen team.

“So steward team all there are how many people?”

“Lima, same chief, Mr. Dadan. Two staff, I'm the same Rajet. Well two more DW, elo same as the poco. She's been on the shift today.”

“Not real name for sure.”

“Who?”

“Poco.”

“Emang instead.”

“Kay. for cigarettes.”

Suddenly there was the sound of someone interrupting the conversation of the two. Aditya notices that men of Akay's age are already near them. The man's height was slightly below it, but it was like there was something strange with his body portion, I don't know what.

“Long life.nih whose name is the poco,” Akay introduces the man nearby to Aditya.

“Co.. know the bari steward team, Adit,” Akay continued.

The man called Poco extended his hand to Aditya while mentioning his real name, Hendri.

“Heleh Poco, I.e.,” cried Akay as soon as he heard the word Hendri come out of the mouth of his colleague.

“Emang my name is Hendri, nying.”

“Hendri poco huahahaha.”

“Poco what?” aditya asked confusedly.

“Cokor lodge (short legs) satisfied in vain??” said Hendri while looking at Akay but no doubt he laughed afterwards.

“Hahahaha..”

Akay just kept laughing. Aditya tried to hold back the laughter until it became a smile. Now he understood, what made Hendri's posture a little awkward in his eyes. It turned out that the man had a longer body, and was disproportionate to the length of his legs. No wonder his friends called him poco.

“Dit.. nyaho teu eta ngaran Akay timana? (you don't know where Akay's name came from?” ask Hendri aka Poco on Aditya.

“Ngga.”

“Eta tea kapondokan tina ngaran manehna, Ade Kayat hahaha.. jiga brand her helmet hahahaha.. (That stands for her name, Ade Kayat. Rich brand helmet yes)” Poco laughs satisfied can reply Akay.

“Oh yes, KYT hahaha,” sambar Aditya while laughing.

“Alus pan, urang boga royalty. Use Kayat helmet when driving, hahaha.” Akay instead follow discuss his name.

“Menta cigarette Kay.”

Akay took out a pack of cigarettes from her pants pocket and then gave a deep throat to Poco. After taking a cigarette from Akay and burning it, he said he was going to come out for a while.

“Nuhun ah, kaluar his heula (out first, yes).”

“Rek thinks Esme must be.”

“Hahaha.. enya, tah keur ngamen deket perjunct.”.

Poco immediately passed from there, rushing out of the basement. Aditya kept looking at the man who was walking out of the hotel gate.

“Esme who?” ask Aditya curiously.

“Esmeralda, a creature who likes to mejeng with a group of kuntilanak and dedemit in front there hahaha.”

The hotel where Aditya works is indeed located around the Asian African road, where there is the Cikapundung river. The river is often arguably the longest river in the world as it divides Asia and Africa. For those who are confused, please search on google, there is definitely no answer ekekekek…

“Ooh hahaha..cool very name Esmeralda.”.

"Inspired ti indungna cenah, telenovela hahaha lovers.."

"Nancy mah geus his market, so we Esme hahaha.. (Nancy is already on the market, so Esme)," Aditya laughed again.

After resting her body, Aditya and Akay return to the kitchen. They are ready to fight with dirty furniture that asks to be cleaned. While the Eagle and the others were busy tidying up the remaining buffet dishes.
