Ride in Bed
One Feel of Love



“Pit.. please help your mba prepare a delivery to propose to Dewi,” Toni said in the middle of their lunch event. Ida turned her head to her husband.


“Mas.”


“The wedding is the longest worship of a Muslim. If our child is ready to do so, then we must support him.”


Ida was silent to her husband's words. Although his heart still can not accept the marriage of his youngest child, but as a wife he can only accept all the decisions of the husband. Moreover, what he does is not contrary to religious norms. A smile was imprinted on Aditya's face.


“Still, pa.”


“Papa just hope you get married in earnest.”


“In Shaa Allah.”


“You don't have to worry about submission. Let your aunt take care of your mama.”


“Still aunt.”


Toni looked at Aditya, there was a happy feeling seeing his son's smile. But on one side of her heart was hurt to see her firstborn who was enduring her own pain. Maybe this is the reward God gave him. If only he could be fair from the start, perhaps something like this would not have happened.


Ida put the plate with the rice and the side dish in front of Toni. The man still hasn't touched his food. He stood up and headed to Adrian's room. The door to the child's room, and then into it. Adrian was still sitting in his chair, closing his eyes.


“Papa has granted your wish. Can you join the others?”


Slowly Adrian opened his eyes. Toni stood in front of her desk, looking at the child with a sad face. Slowly Adrian lifted his body then walked closer to Toni.


“Papa approves marriage of Adit and Dewi. As your wish.”


“Thank you, pa.”


“Promise me, if this is all too hard for you, share your burden with papa. Papa knows you're a strong boy, but let him be a vitamin to strengthen your heart. Come to me if you feel weak. Papa will be a shoulder for you to lean on.”


“Papa..”


“Papa know already done a lot of mistakes. Papa has been unfair to both of you. I'm sorry you put such a heavy burden on your shoulders. But papa loves you both very much. From now on, it's papa's turn to take your load. You. live your own life. Find your happiness, don't worry about Adit anymore. There is a papa who will take care and love him.”


“Thank you, pa.”


Toni pulls Adrian into her arms. This man couldn't hold his tears to flow. Adrian hugged the back of the father tightly. He knew his struggle to endure the pain would be even more severe. But he sure can get through it all. Time will heal the wound, no matter when but for sure it will happen.


“Let's eat,” Toni breaks her arms, then rubs her tears.


Adrian simply replied with a nod. While embracing, the father and son came out of the room. Ida looked at her husband and eldest son who were walking closer to the dining table. His little heart said there was something between them. A secret that only the two of them seem to know.


🌸🌸🌸


Tita who occupies the room of the former Nenden walks back and forth. Sometimes he bit his fingernails. The words of Revelation demanding that the money be returned or her child be a substitute for the Goddess, really make her heart unsettled. Nandang went into the room, then saw his wife who went back and forth like an iron.


“Why you?”


“Astaghfrullah. Akang ngagetin aja.”


Nandang just shook his head. The man went to the bed and sat there. Tita approached her husband. Instead of thinking about everything alone, it is better to exchange opinions with the husband.


“Kang.”


"What?"


“Ehmm. i.. the. so. about the master of Revelation.”.


“What's with the boss of Revelation?”


“Begini.. euung. juragan Wahyu asked for the money to be returned.”.


“What money?”


“The money we use to make the house boil to the bank.”


Sontak Nandang was surprised to hear that. He looked at his wife with a sharp look. Yesterday the woman said that the money was loaned by her parents who had sold rice fields. They only live on Tita's parents alone. But now his wife even said it was money from the prophet of Revelation.


“What do you mean? He said the money was loaned by the father, the result of selling his rice fields.”


“Sorry, kang. I lied. Actually it's money from the prophet of Revelation, when I persuaded him to accept the Goddess as his mantra. Therefore kang, so anyway we have to marry the Goddess with den Soka.”


“TITA!!”


The woman jumped to hear her husband's loud voice. This time Nandang yelled at him. Her eyes looked in disbelief at her husband. But that gaze was only for a moment, he then lowered his head. I am afraid to see her husband's face now. Never had he seen this Nandang semurka.


“Your path! It's the same way you sold the Goddess her name! Give back the money of the Revelation! How much did he give you?”


“Du. twenty-five million.”


“Twenty-five? To redeem our house is only 15 million! You want the rest?!”


“A.. I give it to you. Ba.. I want to add her goat cattle.”


“Jeez, Tita!!”


Nandang crept his hair roughly. He was really upset with his wife. He did something behind himself. And now threw the matter to his face. Like a jackfruit, Tita who eats the fruit, herself into the sap.


“Ka. if the money is not returned, the nurse wants Nita who married the same den Soka.”


“If that is what the prophet of Revelation wants, yes already married Nita with den Soka. It's not good we got the son-in-law of the boss.”


“But.. den Soka already has two wives,” Tita's voice is getting smaller.


“WHAT?!!”


Nandang's head was hit by Godam hearing the wife's explanation. He heard a loud scream. Tita was terrified to see her husband. The woman sat down while crouching in the corner of the room. His mouth could not bring out the spicy words he often said. Only sobs are heard now. Nandang came out of the room, then left the house feeling annoyed.


Dewi and Iis who happened to be in the front room just looked at each other. They had accidentally stolen the hearing of the two quarrels. The goddess was truly grateful to be able to escape from Soka's entanglement. But he also takes pity on Nita, who must become a victim of his mother's greed.


From the outside, enter Nita who has just bought some food in the Haji Soleh mini market. He put his groceries near the Goddess. Iis looked at Nita with pity, but she also could not do anything. It was all Tita's fault that was too greedy.


“Wi.. ehmm.. her brother Adit what's her name?” tanya Nita opened the conversation.


“Bang Rian's. Why emang?”


“Flat, yes. Have a girlfriend yet?”


“You don't need the height of Adrian. Mending you think what will happen to you,” Iis overtaking the conversation.


“Emang what's up, bi?” ask Nita confused.


“Just ask your mother. Aunt mah not follow, lieur (dizziness).”


Nita's forehead frowned upon hearing his aunt's words. His daydreams were broken when Roxas went into the house and said his greetings. The man sat down near the Goddess. He was astonished to see the faces in front of him being confused.


“Why? Any problems?” guess Roxas.


“Ngga..” reply Iis.


“Wi.. later tonight want to go to the cafe? Since my mother died, you've never seen me look the same Adit again. Later tonight to the cafe yes,” invite Roxas.


“What Roxas said. Mending you to the cafe, healing hihihi..” timpal Iis.


“Vy, Rox. But hejo is still in the name, right?”


“Iya. Take it easy, we take a taxi online. Aunt Nita wants to come too?”


“Ngga ah, aunty wants to be at home. Curious to follow the continuation of the Aldeburik,” Iis giggled amused. He is a fan of Indonesian sinteron. Although the storyline is considered increasingly absurd, but he still remains faithful to follow.


“I can come?” ask Nita.


“Bby. Abis maghrib we leave.”


Nita's face looks bright. He didn't worry about what Iis said just now. The girl hopes to meet Adrian there. The goddess stood up and took Roxas out of the house.


“Rox... You have no money? I'm pinjem dong. I'll pay you later cicil.”


“25 million.”


“Create what? The wedding cost? There is a responsible Adit. Partially if for an elo wedding, do not need to pinjem, I will love free.”


“Not for me.”


“Continue to whom?”


Dewi recounted the quarrel Tita and Nandang heard earlier. Honestly, although still upset with Tita, but he could not bear if Nita was used as a debt-paying tool to the prophet of Revelation.


“Buset si Biti totally outrageous. So yesterday you wanted to be the third wife? The men's camp. Kaga is satisfied if you already have two,” sewot Roxas.


“Lo has the money? I pinjem ya.”


“Gue has the money, but I won't give it. Let Biti find his own way out. It's his fault, you don't bother taking care of him. You forgot what he did yesterday?”


“But I pity ama tea Nita.”


“Not that I have the heart, but sorry if for the Biti I will not love. Partially if it is Nita's mate is the Basoka, let you pay his debt, still they will marry. That's also if he's not the mate of the shucks, you will be their marriage. Take it easy, Wi.”


“Iya, anyway. But I pity Nita tea and Mang Nandang.”


“From on to them, mending the money for elo. Make your daily needs. But I won't give it to you now, tar lo love you with Biti.”


“Ngga gone, Rox. I still have money, though. Mending thanks to enin.”


“Enin already has its own ration. I want to go to Elo as a wedding gift. During this time, you have also helped me a lot. Now when I exist, there is no harm if I also want to share the same fortune elo. Consider it a gift from brother lo,” Roxas damaged the top of his best friend's head.


“Yeah Rox, I'm so terjura.”


“What elo, father and mother do to me is not worth the money I love. And remember, don't be given to the Biti, I'm not sincere in the afterlife.”


“Hahaha.. yes.. yes..”.


Roxas's smile rose upon hearing the Goddess's reply. Once again he damaged the top of the head of the girl in front of him. Since first meeting, Roxas has indeed considered the Goddess like his own sister. Moreover, they are both only children. Their relationship is like destiny. Roxas can get a sister, and Dewi gets a sister.


🌸🌸🌸


As always, the atmosphere of the Red Kingdom cafe will be more vibrant if The Soul appears. Visitors always exceed capacity. Sometimes the employees to the hassles of arranging seating for the visitors. Until finally they move the stage to the back garden which has a larger space.


The goddess along with Nita had already come. The two depart from the contract together with Roxas. The man immediately joined the stage with the other members of The Soul. Pipit who also came with Adrian, immediately welcomed the arrival of the Goddess. He invited Aditya's future wife to sit together at a table.


Seeing there was Adrian at the table occupied by Pipit, of course Nita was happy not kepalang. Finally he was able to meet again with the man who immediately made his heart captivated since the first meeting. Unfortunately, he had never met the man, not even acquainted.


“Night bang Rian,” greet Nita ventured.


Adrian's forehead creased to see Nita who suddenly reprimanded him. He looked at the Goddess, from the look in his eyes as if asking, who she is. The goddess who knew what was in the mind of her future sister-in-law, immediately explained.


“Kalatin, this is Nita tea, her son Mang Nandang.”


“Ooh.”


That's all that came out of Adrian's mouth. Nita who was about to extend a hand, undo his intentions as soon as she saw Adrian's indifferent attitude. He sat down beside Adrian, while the Goddess was next to him. Their sitting position is facing the stage and their table is in the middle.


Aditya pulled a chair onto the stage, for the performance this time they will carry the acoustic concept. Three chairs lined up at the front of the stage. Similarly, Fay who chose to sit while playing the keyboard. Roxas and Rangga sat in their seats while tuning the guitar and bass. Aditya pulls the standing mic forward. He looked at his two friends. As soon as everything was ready, the man started with his speech.


“Goodnight everyone.”


“Night.”


“For the show this time we concept acoustics yes. Who knows the song, please come sing along with us.”


Fay first played the keyboard, then followed by Rivan who beat the drums, and finally Rangga and Roxas entered to play guitar and bass simultaneously. Aditya grasped the standing mic with his hand. There was a voice singing one of Noah's songs, The Great Dilemma.


The quiet music accompanies all cafe visitors to enjoy the dishes. There are some of them who capture with their cell phone cameras. Meanwhile, The Soul's team began taking pictures of them. Already six months ago, The Soul always record his performance in Red Kingdom which was then uploaded to the youtube channel. That is also what makes the Red Kingdom more crowded during the weekend and The Soul is getting famous.


After singing the first song, now the two are preparing to sing the second song. After the second song, as usual, The Soul will give the audience the opportunity to request the song.


“Ok.. for the second song, I dedicate specifically to my future wife.”


“Aaaaaaaaa!!”


There was an involuntary shout from the audience when Aditya called out the future wife. They do not believe the handsome-cheeked vocalist runs out, will soon end his bachelor.


“Dewi. This song speaks my heart to you. I love you.”


“Aaaaaaaa!!”


“Basic gumbal.”


Adrian laughed faintly at the suddenness of Pipit. While the Goddess was speechless, only her face was waiting for a smile. At first glance Adrian looks at her, it's time she let the girl go from her heart.


“Don't ask how tomorrow. I don't want to guess this feeling. All I know is that I love you today. All I know is that I love you very much. Let it all pass. Live as it is. The flowers will bloom even if the drought hits. Flowers 'will bloom despite the drought hit.”


The eyes of the Goddess continued to look at Aditya who was still singing verse for good Arief's song which was covered in various versions. But for him, the Aditya version is certainly the most delicious and fits in the ear. Moreover, the man brought it with love.


Some of the audience also got carried away while listening to the song. Some move their heads, tap their fingers on the table, or open their mouths singing the lyrics of the song without sound.


After part refrain, Aditya removed the mic from the handle and then moved from his seat. The man came down from the stage to the audience on the front desk. Mila cs who was there immediately shouted when she saw Aditya approaching.


“Yuk who can song, we sing together.”


Aditya sang back the song from the first verse, one hand signalling to all who watched the song. He approached Mila's desk, then thrust a mic into the girl's mouth.


“Let all pass. Live as it is. The flowers will bloom even if the drought hits. Flowers 'will bloom despite the drought hit.”


The sound of Mila's cry was heard singing the verse. Aditya just laughed to see one of the Goddess's friends who was so excited about singing. While sitting with him, compactly covered his ears. The man saved the ears of the cafe visitors when taking over the refrain part.


“Not I want to be sure. I am your true love. Reassure your heart. I am the destiny you are waiting for. I want you to feel good. Let it be beside me


Because I love you so much.”


Aditya's eyes continued to look at the Goddess while singing the refrain part. He walked up to his maiden as he continued to sing the next verse.


“I will prove the love in your heart. One sense of happiness.”


Aditya stopped in front of the Goddess, then knelt in front of the girl. The hand of the Goddess then continued her singing.


“Coupinang thyself as a friend of my life. Promise me, Love, be faithful with me.”


The man ended the song with a kiss on the back of the Goddess' hand. It made the visitors, especially the women scream hysterically. They were treated so romantically by Aditya. Dewi's red face gets a very sweet treatment from her future husband.


Aditya walks back to the stage along with the rhythm of the music at the end of the song. Budi sniggered at the man, his heart was unbearable to see the girl he liked turned out to have received the Goddess's proposal. He pinched when suddenly Micky rubbed his ear and Bobi rubbed his nose. His eyes glared at his two mortal companions, making his face even more unsightly.


“Basic sadut, can be a child. Beware Wi.. you can diabetes long-time called him,” exclaimed Pipit.


“Tante sirik aja,” chirps Adrian.


“Mana. Uda ngga era ya aunty want digituin.”


“What do you want?”


“Dication of rain money hahahaha.”.


“Basic matre.”


“Ngga life if no matre, hahaha..


Adrian just shook his head. Then the man looked at the Goddess. The girl's face looked happy. It seemed like Aditya had already completely diverted the heart of the Goddess from her. Adrian can only pray for their happiness and hope that he is not too sick to accept reality. He was sure there would be a rainbow after the rain in his life.
