Ride in Bed

Best Brothers

After Maghrib, Adrian and Dewi left Gantole hill. Before returning to the city of Bandung, Adrian took the time to stop by the gift shop, buying typical Cililin food to take home. Moreover, his mother is very fond of wajit and Aditya likes gurilem crackers.

Arriving at the gift shop, Adrian immediately took a few wajit packs. Wajit Cililin is a typical food of West Bandung Regency that has a sweet taste. Wajit is made from the basic ingredients glutinous rice, palm sugar, coconut, and vanilla for aroma. The shape is conical and wrapped in dried corn leaf. In the past, this confectionery should not be eaten carelessly, because it was the food of the nobles.

In addition to wajit, Adrian also bought scroll crackers. The word gurilem itself stands for savory and calm. The word in Sundanese means delicious. Before it was known as gurilem, people called this cracker as a window cracker. After innovating by giving additional flavors such as onion, spicy and nut flavors, the name changed to gurilem. The difference from other crackers, gurilem crackers are roasted using sand.

Finished buying souvenirs, the two then continued on their way. Adrian increased the speed once the car entered the freeway, because he did not want to arrive too late at the house of Dewi. Once out of the toll gate, Adrian instead took the road that leads to his campus. He turned the car towards the road behind the quiet, dark campus.

The goddess turned her head to the side window. Rows of tall and shady trees adorn along the road that passes. Adrian even slowed down the speed of his car. The goddess recognized the path she was walking. This is the street where he was attacked by thugs a few days ago.

“A.. why go this way?”

“Ngga anything.”

Just as Adrian finished speaking, suddenly a few meters in front of him, a burly man stood in the way. Adrian had to stop his vehicle. From the side appeared two other people banging on the car glass. Adrian pulled the handbrake and opened the seatbelt.

“A.. it was the thugs who were huddling me.”

“Which one hit you?”

“That's the biggest body,” Dewi pointed to the man who stood up to the car.

“You stay quiet in the car. Lock the door.”

The goddess nodded in understanding. After Adrian got off, the girl rushed to lock the car door. Calmly, Adrian walked up to the three thugs. He saw the three thugs before him one by one. The largest man had a penknife in his hand, while the other two carried clubs.

“Serahin car lo!” the biggest word.

“The key is inside, just take it,” Adrian replied casually.

The large-bodied thug who was believed to be the leader gave his men his mark. The sleeveless shirtless man immediately headed for the car, but Adrian pulled his shirt until his body staggered back. With a quick movement Adrian hit the man's stomach until staggered.

Seeing that, the other thug immediately attacked, but his body also crashed backwards when Adrian's hard kick hit his stomach. The furious leader charged forward while wielding the knife in his hand. Adrian did a spinning kick, pointing at the man's hand until his knife dropped. With the edge of his foot, Adrian slapped a knife into the car.

Two downed thugs immediately woke up and helped his boss. Adrian gripped both shoulders of the leader and kicked his stomach with his knees. The man's body was bent and bent over when Adrian hit him on the back using his elbow. Then with the man's body as a pedestal, Adrian lifted his body slightly while doing a spinning kick. Two consecutive kicks hit two thugs at once.

The eyes of the Goddess could not be seen Adrian who was beating the three thugs. The girl's mouth was gaping to see Adrian who was so cool when finishing off his enemies. It didn't take long for Adrian to get all three of his opponents to their knees.

Without giving his opponent a chance, Adrian again kicked the two thugs until they fell stranded and fainted. Then he approached the leader who was still in a kneeling position, enduring the pain in his body. With a face without expression, Adrian pulled the man's right hand and twisted his wrist.

CRICK

“AAAAARRRGGGHHH.”.

There was a loud shout from the leader when his wrist was turned so tight. He was lying on the asphalt holding his hand and screaming in pain. Adrian picks up the phone in his pants pocket then calls Dawn.

“Halo..” sounding Dawn from across.

“Ke here now.”

“Where?”

“Gue send location now. Carry!”

Adrian ended his call. He then sends the location of his whereabouts plus a photo of the three thugs sprawled out. Seeing that it was safe, Dewi got down from the car and approached Adrian who leaned his butt on the hood of the car.

“Aa nothing?”

“Ngga.”

The goddess glanced at the man who was screaming in pain. The thug who hit his stomach the other day.

“Dih... Now just cry. Yesterday was a very big doubt, sokoooorrrr..”

The goddess who was still upset because she had been hit by the leader of the thugs immediately taunted her. Adrian laughed and heard it. The goddess held onto Adrian's arm as soon as the thug in pain looked at him.

“What do you look at,” Dewi stuck her tongue out at the thug.

Ten minutes later, Dawn came with two of his men. He just shook his head looking at the two people who were sprawled and another one still grimacing in pain. There was the cry of the thugs, when one of the men of Dawn was about to handcuff him. Adrian moved from his place and approached Dawn.

“Lo why people?”

“His hand was broken times.”

“Just, Ad.”

“Salah them, want to begal me.”

“Heleh..lo deliberately went this way. I don't know the head of Lo.”

“Whispering. You should thank me, I've helped nangkep tuh thugs.”

“That's his hand why it should be broken?”

“Tuh hand has been made to hit Dewi. Real urus, I unplug.”

Adrian immediately left Dawn, then took Dewi back into the car. He honked his horn as his vehicle passed the Dawn which still bore the perpetrator.

“Basic bucin,” mumbled Dawn as soon as Adrian's car passed.

Dewi glanced at Adrian who was focused on driving. He saw a sweat patch on Adrian's temple. His hand moved pulling the tissue then wiping the sweat on the forehead of the man beside him. At first Adrian was surprised, but then just let Dewi do it.

“Still yes, a. Now I'm calm down to college. The three thugs were caught.”

“Other times you have to be careful. Avoid rich lonely places earlier.”

“Iya, a.”

“You should be more diligent in training, in order to protect yourself better. Not forever I am there to help you,” Adrian rubbed the top of the head of the Goddess.

The tongue of the Goddess feels silly just to answer yes. Adrian's attention made him only able to remain silent. The atmosphere was again quiet and it made the Goddess awkward. The girl moved her finger turning on the car audio. Several times Dewi changed the radio channel, looking for a song that fits in his ear.

“Ish.. The song is nothing good,” complained Dewi.

“There is usb. Install it,” Adrian said.

Dewi felt the place appointed Adrian and found a small colored usb. The girl immediately plugged the usb into the car audio. His smile expanded when a familiar song in his ears instantly sounded.

This story is no longer the same

Even though your heart is always here

Understand that I have not changed

Look at me from the other side

Lean on me, feel my heart

Lean on me

Ariel Noah's melodious voice is heard singing one of his popular songs. While leaning back his back to the seat, Dewi hummed along to sing the song.

“Aa likes Noah huh?”

“Hmm.”

“I also like. Ariel's song is cool. I like the sound, it's so special. Especially if you've heard him sing falsetto, beuuh cool. The shift from low to high is cool. Not everyone can sing her song. Rich is easy, but hard. The lyrics are also dalem. Anyway he's one of my favorite vocalist band deh.”

Adrian smiled at the Goddess's long explanation. Hearing the girl's words, she remembered her sister. Aditya is also one of Peterpan's fans who have now changed his name to Noah. And he once revealed the same thing as the Goddess. Maybe because both are equally good at singing, so a little know about vocal techniques.

“Aa singing dong. I want to hear aa sing.”

“I can't sing.”

“Slightly want to hear aa sing.”

No response from Adrian. The man stayed focused on the streets. Finally Dewi gave up, he again listened to Noah's song that had not been finished. The car stopped at a red light.

“And I am not without you to hold me. You complete me, you perfect me.”

The goddess turned her head when she heard Adrian singing a song in the refrain. Although not as good as Aditya, but his voice is still good to hear and does not make the ears hurt. The goddess kept looking at Adrian who was still singing the refrain part.

“And I am not me without you accompanying me. You calm me down, you relieve me.”

Adrian sings the rest of the refrain temple while looking at the Goddess. As if he was saying that the lyrics of the song he sang described the current state of his heart. He was no longer the same when he met and knew a Mantili Goddess. The girl who had managed to shake his heart, made his frozen heart become liquid and made the man sure opened his heart to his former student.

The Goddess cheeks met red when she met Adrian. He hopes the lyrics Adrian sings are for him. If only the Adrian fans knew that his teacher who always acted cold and expressionless, could laugh and sing like that, maybe they would faint. Dewi believes that Sandra and Mila know, if only Adrian laughs and sings, the two girls will be jealous to the roll.

Together with the Goddess, the man got down from the car then took the bag and also the souvenirs he bought earlier. One for the Goddess, one for Aditya and another for Roxas. The two then walked towards the Goddess's contract. Roxas who was playing guitar on the terrace rented Aditya, immediately put his guitar then approached Adrian.

“Bang..” greet Roxas.

“I go in first, yes. Thanks for today.”

“Sama-sama. Greetings to mom.”

The goddess nodded her head, then went inside the house. After the Goddess died, Adrian gave gifts to Roxas.

“This a-by for you.”

“Still, bang.”

“So, which one is Adit?”

“That, bang. Let's go in first.”

Adrian walked in Roxas's footsteps. After taking off his shoes, the man went in and looked at the contents of the brother's contract. Not much stuff that his sister had. After looking at the contents of the contract, Adrian chose to sit for a while in the front room.

“Adit hasn't come home?”

“Not yet, bang. From last Saturday the extension mulu him. Get in at seven, get home at nine o'clock at the earliest."

“You're in the morning?”

“Today is the same tomorrow holiday.”

“Where does it work there? At home?”

“Alhamdulillah at home.”

“If your money has been collected, try to go to college. Minimum D3. College is not only to get a degree, but also to open insight, expand our mindset and establish wider relationships.”

“Iya, bang. Hopefully there is a rejekinya.”

“Aamiin. what is enin?”

“Alhamdulillah healthy. The plan is tomorrow to see Enin. Last month from payday, so can give to enin.”

“Thankful then. If you set aside a fortune for the elderly, In Shea Allah will be able to make a bigger return.”

“Aamiin.”

“Abang go home first. Oh yeah, can you come to the car for a second? Want to nitip something for Adit.”

“Ready, bang.”

Adrian stands, followed by Roxas, and the two leave the house. They're headed for Adrian's car near the gate. The man opened the car door, then opened the dashboard drawer, retrieving something from it.

“This vitamin love to Adit. Said it had to be drunk. There are two bottles, one for you.”

“Still, bang.”

Roxas received a package containing two bottles of multivitamins. The young man was moved because Adrian not only bought it for his sister, but also for himself.

“Oh yes. If a good electric guitar is what brand?”

“Macem-romance, bang. Depends on the type of the same brand. Why why?”

“Abang to buy Adit new guitar. But if you ask, he won't answer. Can not you find out the same type of brand what Adit wants to buy, continue to tell brother.”

“Ok, bang. Relax, I'll give you the leak.”

“Sama told Adit to tell him to go home, look at my mom. Tomorrow brother to Batam, maybe a new Sunday home. If you can Adit accompany mama, because the day after papa want to go to Malang.”

“Ready, bang. If peru later I anter the Adit until the front of the house.”

“Still yes, Xas. Brother go home first. Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam.”

Adrian got into the car, a few moments later the wheels of his vehicle had moved leaving the contract of Haji Soleh. Roxas, who was still standing in his place, looked at the two bottles of multivitamins that Adrian gave.

“Abang lo very good, Dit. I am so grateful to have met you just as much as Rian. You are two important people in my life now, after Enin and Goddess. I hope none of you are hurt. But what is possible.”.

Roxas looked up at the darkening night sky. Thousands of stars are scattered in space, making the sky look beautiful. His daydreams were scattering when a light shone on him. The motorbike that was riding Aditya entered the contract of Haji Soleh.

“Woi.. why bengong there,” Aditya reprimand.

“Nungguin lo flip.”

“Tumben.”

Roxas climbed to the back of Adit then hugged the man's waist tightly while leaning his head against Aditya's back.

“Suddenly I miss elo, Dit.. Mmmuaaccchhh..”

“Dih unclean... I'm still normal. Down sono!!” Aditya shook his bike, but Roxas' embrace tightened.

“Jalan aa,” Roxas said in a spoiled tone.

“Najis!!”

Roxas heard it. Aditya runs his vehicle again, Roxas still teases him by continuing to hold tightly to the waist of the friend until the motorbike stops in front of the contract.

“Down!”

“Aa minute. I still want to hug aa.”

“Najis!! Down no?? I farted!”

Hearing Aditya's threat, Roxas immediately jumped down from the motorbike. While continuing to laugh, the young man entered into a contract followed by Aditya. Arriving inside, Aditya's eyes were immediately fixed on the package on the table.

“What's tuh?”

“By-by from brother lo. She was here.”

“Hahhe's here? How did he know my contract was here?”

Roxas was silent for a moment. It is also impossible that he said that Adrian had just brought the Goddess home after taking her for a walk all day. The young man scratched his non-itchy head while throwing his trademark grin.

“So your brother phone I keep rented lo where. Sorry bro, hehehe.” Roxas raised two fingers.

“Keep the brother in?”

“Ya log in.”

“Keep him looking through the contents of the contract?”

“Iya. Why why?”

Aditya just patted his forehead. He was sure that his brother would send something for him. The young man sat himself in the folding mattress Roxas and then opened the package given Adrian.

“Weh no gurilem, my favorite. The Goddess likes it?”

“Kaga think of the Goddess. He also gets souvenirs. She's a former student of Bang Rian. Yes, I am also, rich I.”

“Thank God that the Goddess is loved too. My brother is not stingy, so there is only luck. He often gets that proyekan. I am sure that his savings are plenty. Now the car already has, briefly nyicil home. Only candidates who do not have.”

There is a candidate, Dit. Candidate Dewi, but if your brother nembak Dewi, how do you continue to fate? What is the Goddess ninggungin elo. Aaahhh.naha so aing deui nu lieur, bodo aah (why so I'm dizzy again, bodo ah).

“Dah mending lo shower keep resting, definitely cape.”

“Ok, deh.”

“Eh almost forgot. This vitamin from the Rian bang, must be taken he said,” Roxas give a bottle containing vitamins to Aditya.

“Keep bang Rian said tomorrow leave for Batam, just come home Sunday. I was told to go to my mom's house. The day after tomorrow, you leave for Malang, mama has no friends at home. You were told to nginep there.”

“Wokeh.”

Aditya went into the room. Put a vitamin bottle on top of the plastic cupboard, then take a towel hanging behind the door. While walking to the bathroom, he thought of the message delivered by Roxas. Actually lazy to return to stay at home, but because this was Adrian's order, he could not refuse. Aditya is also worried that the mother is alone at home.
