Kosara Dwinanta

Kosa went home to Mas Andri in a bad mood. His feelings raged and his thoughts were filled by the incident this morning at Vira's house.

Mas Andri was angry because Kosa did not come home yesterday so he had to use an online taxi. Not to mention found the white SUV car is now full of dirty stains used rainwater splashes.

Finish washing the car, Kosa permits back to Depok. Looks like Kosa should stay away from Vira first. Let Vira rest for a moment to neutralize her condition.

Although they did not fight but Kosa was sure that this time Vira needed some time alone. And if the time comes, Vira will tell Kosa everything.

With his Vespa, Kosa walked along the Kalimalang road which was still wet because it was raining this morning. Cross Cawang and turn left to the road of Dewi Sartika. After passing Kalibata, Kosa took the straight path of Pasar Minggu to Depok. A long and exhausting journey. Even though all this time with Vira, the Bekasi Depok route seems not to be far.

The atmosphere of the boarding house is very quiet, still left by its residents back home. His room had been abandoned since his visit to Yogya for almost two weeks. A little bit smelly.

There are some dirty clothes that he forgot to wash before going down the field and added after returning from Yogya. The amount is quite a lot, leaving only half the clean clothes in his closet.

Kosa immediately put dirty clothes into a large plastic to be taken to the laundry which is only 100 meters away from the boarding house. The cost is only six thousand rupiah per kilogram, quite cheap not too drain the bag. The rest of the research money is still enough to pay for his boarding room and daily meals for the next few months.

Kosa remembered the man called Mas Cokro by Vira. Perlente men who seem to be in the upper class category. His car alone might be worth over a billion. The casual suit he wore was also of a different material. Is Vira interested in the man because of his wealth? What Vira did made the man come to his house. The mind of Sin begins to be filled with prejudice.

Kosa began to compare with her who had to work part-time and frugally to meet her daily needs. Fortunately, he got a scholarship to pay his tuition fees so that his time was not up to find money. Therefore, Kosa can only take Vira on the road with a vespa motorbike or Mas Andri loan car.

From the laundry place, Kosa stopped by the nearest mini market. He bought a room freshener, some snacks to accompany him to work on his thesis data, toothpaste, and headache medicine. Kosa also bought instant noodles with a considerable amount. It seemed that he would spend more time in his room and not go out with Vira.

 

Elvira Kinanti

Vira repeatedly reads messages from Mas Cokro's number. Repeatedly he tried to retaliate but deleted it again. There are great doubts about responding to that message. He did not want to prolong business with Mas Cokro. Enough to get here.

Vira's feelings for Kosa are really bad. It seems like Kosa was well aware of what had happened between her and Mas Cokro. Although he considered the incident had passed but it was not as easy as he imagined to forget everything. Vira is convinced that the presence of Mas Cokro this morning began to give the first puzzle pieces that will be compiled by Kosa.

Vira wants to explain everything to Kosa, but can't. It was not until her heart to say what happened even though the kiss had happened not by her will. He simply asked Kosa to trust him that nothing had happened.

But it seems like Vira also has to make sure that there is nothing going on between her and Mas Cokro. Finally, Vira decided to return the message. He also had to return the ring. It's not good that he just took it.

The reply was for Mas Cokro. Two sentences is quite short.

[Cocro Bag alone determines when and where. Vira will come]

Vira message immediately tick two and blue, direct sign read. Mas Cokro immediately typed in his reply.

[Just pick it up, the day after morning]

 

Adjie Tjokro Pambudi

Cokro felt himself coming at an inopportune moment. His presence only made Vira nervous in front of the man who became her boyfriend. Though his arrival only want to give a cashmere sweater he bought in Pokhara. Which he could not give directly in front of his fellow accusers.

Cokro admits that Vira gives a new feeling that arises in his heart. But is this love? He doesn't know for sure. Cokro just wanted to thank him by giving gifts that he believed Vira would like.

When Cokro clasped Vira's hand tightly before entering the car, he just wanted to say that there was nothing to worry about. But it's not that easy to say. Because there was that man who made Vira nervous and she was speechless.

Cokro felt like he had to meet Vira once again. Vira. The next morning he'll pick up Vira.

 

Cokro was only twenty-three years old when he married Rahayu, a student he had been dating since entering college. Married while graduating from the Faculty of Engineering, one of the State Universities in Surabaya. Only two years later Ayu died of ovarian cancer. So quick. Leaving Cokro alone.

Five years old Cokro's been widowed. Even his age is young. It's only been thirty years. For five years, Cokro was busy with business with his friends. Start-up business and develop a subsidiary owned by you in Surabaya.

Not a single woman could attract Cokro's heart because her memory of Ayu was so strong. There is a great fear that ambushes him that makes him reluctant to connect with women.

Today is the umpteenth time Mom and Dad tried to introduce Cokro with women from families they consider equal. The first child of a divorced Sasongko family. Divorce lives. I don't know what the cause is. This meeting was planned for a long time. Only Cokro stalling and only able to meet after Annapurna.

Father and Mother introduced herself, her older sister Sitoresmi Adjeng, and her younger brother Sambara Bagas to the Sasongko family. The family of businessmen and politicians who were introduced welcomed him by introducing his daughter and son.

“Forcuse us, our second son is taking his master in Birmingham, England. So can't take part in this meeting,” said the glasses man and white-haired. A senior politician who is often included in newspapers.

After the introduction, the family meeting turned into small groups leaving Cokro with Lydia Sasongko, the woman he wanted to be betrothed to. Just both.

They were silent for a long time and did not look at each other.

“Actually, I just don’t get it why we are here [actually I do not understand why we are here],” said the woman slowly, as if afraid to sound.

“I’m tired of all this. They think we couldn’t find a way to get life partner by ourself [My grandfather, They think we can't find our own life partner],” he continued slowly.

Cokro looked at him and smiled bitterly. This woman has the same feelings as him.

“Just follow their wishes for a moment. Don't be too quick to decide,” suhut Cokro short.

“Why should I [why should that be]?” ask the woman again.

“The sooner we decide then the sooner they will match us again with another,” explained Cokro.

“Oh, I see [oh, I understand]!”

“You are not coming to Senayan?” ask Cokro

“Nope, I don’t like politics, I just want to do business [no, I don't like politics, business only]!”

“Out yuk!” the woman said, then stood towards the swimming pool. Cokro.

 

Mother was satisfied with the meeting at the Sasongko family residence. Her husband's business friend who is also a politician of one of the strongest parties in Indonesia.

“The child is beautiful, does not look like a widow. Suitable for you!” say Mother.

Chocolates smile short.

“Mother is a beautiful origin, all suitable for Mas Adjie,” seloroh Sambara who sits next to Cokro.

“The child is also healthy and from earlier I see also always invite Adjie to chat. Good right?”

“Bagas, you yourself when is the wedding?” ask Mom who made Cokro laugh.

“Koq so I'm the Mom who asked for marriage? This is Mas Adjie,” elak Sambara.

“Umurku is also still 28, still young,” continued Sambara with a somewhat irritated tone.

“Djie, when did you return to Surabaya? Tomorrow?” ask Mom to Cokro.

“Drawn Bu, the day after morning!”

“Loh, you said straight home after Sasongko family meeting?” ask Mother.

“Iya Bu, it turns out that tomorrow there is an event with friends all day,” replied Cokro.

“Same mother I want to go to Adjeng's house again tomorrow, want to see grandchildren. Later you go to the city to be escorted by Mr Manto!”

Cokro nodded slowly.
