Romance In Makara Orange

The Go to Pieces

^Inner immunity

Vira is well aware of what has happened between her and Mas Cokro. Her biggest fear when she met Mas Cokro has now happened. The efforts made to avoid this man are meaningless. Mas Cokro knows for sure his weakness.

Vira himself does not understand why his body motion sensor does not go hand in hand with his thinking. From the beginning actually Vira could have gone home alone as his initial desire was reluctant to be delivered home Mas Cokro. Escape by taking an online taxi or even an online taxi. But it didn't happen. He was like a buffalo that had its nose plucked. According to him without a fight.

“Mas wants Vira to wait. Don't go from my side. There's something I have to finish first, hopefully Vira can wait patiently.”

Vira fell silent. I don't understand what Mas Cokro said just now.

“If Mas has finished his business, Mas promise we will be together and we will be happy.”

Vira remained silent. His mind wandered off somewhere. There were faces flashing in his shadow. Faces that make themselves happy and have meaning in this life. The faces that are always there when he needs to be. Be happy? What kind of happiness would Mas Cokro give him? Is happiness accompanied by pain and sadness in the heart as Vira currently feels? Vira really doesn't understand.

“Vir, did you hear what Mas just said?”

“Vir, Vira,” jolt Mas Cokro stop his daydreaming.

Vira aware. The digital clock shows the first number with a different day. There is no way he returns to the boarding house now because the fence is padlocked and the boarding mother also double locks the front door of the house. Go home and I don't know what Mom and Dad would say. But it feels like Vira just wants to sleep. Let go of all the fatigue in his body and mind.

Vira looked towards Mas Cokro. “Mas, Vira wants to go home late,” he said slowly.

“Where do you go home?” ask Cokro.

“Where else does Vira want to go?”

“I mean Mas, go home or to the boarding house? You're close to campus, right?”

“Back to home Mas.”

“Who will open the door? It's late at night. You better go to the boarding house. Mas also do not know the place cost Vira.”

Vira quiet. Remembering that he deliberately stayed at the boarding house because he wanted to avoid Mas Cokro. Now this guy wants to take her home.

“Place cost has been padlocked every hour 12 nights. The rules are so.”

“Vira want to stay at hotel only? Here there is a hotel, later in the morning Mas take home.”

Vira was silent for a moment. There's no way he's in a hotel with Mas Cokro. Not for any reason. Although repeatedly Mas Cokro kissed him but he would never do it that far.

“Do not get me wrong. Mas order two rooms.”

“No need Mas. Antar Vira just go home to Bekasi,” pinta Vira insisted and then walk first to Mas Cokro's car.

 

Natha asks Mirna to accompany her to wait for Vira to come home at two o'clock tonight. Repeatedly Vira miscall to Natha's phone and only sends a short message about what time Vira will arrive. Mirna is upset that Natha is interrupting her sleep but Mirna can never say no to Natha.

When a beam of light penetrated the front curtains, Natha and Mirna immediately peeked to find out. Visible by both pairs of eyes that resist drowsiness was a black metallic color car that stopped in front of the house. The car they knew because several times the owner came to this house.

No one was seen in the car because it was blocked by a layer of glass that was quite dark. Natha and Mirna thought Vira would get out soon after the car lights were turned off but she didn't. I don't know what Vira and Cokro did in that car.

Irritated, Natha walked out of the house and approached. It doesn't matter that he's only wearing a short cotton negligee. His intention was only to ask Vira to get out of the car immediately and get into the house. It turns out that before Natha gets angry, Cokro gets out of the car and so does Vira.

“Sorry, I drove Vira home this late,” Cokro told Natha.

“Mas, Vira enter first yes! Thank you for being escorted home,” said Vira slowly and without seeing Cokro or Natha, she immediately rushed in.

Natha took a long breath. “Thank you for taking my sister home. But next time even though the business between you is long, you should pay attention to the time. Not good for women in between by men who are not family late at night like this,” said Natha Ketus, no matter Cokro older than herself.

Chocolates smile. “Good, thank you very much and apologize once again.”

Natha went in without waiting for the Cokro car that disappeared from her sight which was now starting to turn normal. His drowsiness had disappeared replaced with a sense of annoyance and curiosity about what happened with his sister Vira.

On the green sofa of the family room, it looks Mirna who settles down with her eyes closed and Vira who sits pensively. His face was so flat yet harbored so many emotions within him that Natha realized to be right. Not until the heart saw it, even though from the beginning Vira called herself to unlock the door of the house, Natha wanted to scold him. Even Mirna who is usually nosy to comment now only chooses the rebound beside Vira.

He took a glass of cold water from the dispenser and thrust it in front of Vira. “Drink first let it fresh. I think you're really tangled.”

Vira turned her head towards Natha and smiled half forcedly. “Still Nath.”

“Gue knows you're like there's another problem. No need to tell me now, mending you wash your face and sleep first. Do not get stressed just because of ginian aja, said Natha trying to calm down.

“Mir, wake up Mir, go in there to the room. Don't sleep on the couch, ntar got your iler so stinky,” Natha orders while patting Mirna on the shoulder.

Mirna without speaking and with half-open eyes staggered towards her room and Vira then headed for the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Although it feels like taking a bath to be fresh but the power is no longer able and just want to immediately hug the pillow and close his eyes.

 

Vira is perfectly sound until the curious Natha is forced to wake her up. The clock has shown at eight in the morning, only Vira who has not been seen below for breakfast. Even Mirna had breakfast for the second time.

“Eat at the cost is delicious, can change the menu, just a little portion, must buy a lot of new full. The taste is also not as good as Mamah cuisine,” confided Mirna at the dinner table after eating a cheese tuna sandwich. There was also a piece of cake in front of him.

My mom smiled hearing that. All his children do like to eat anything with large portions especially in college like this. I don't know how heavy the workload of students is but it seems that the energy needed is quite drained. As a parent who always provides food every day, at first it was a bit heavy to let his daughters to stay at the boarding house. Thinking about how they survived and taking care of their own needs made him a little afraid.

Ever since Vira decided to board, Mama guessed that Vira did it to avoid the man who had visited the house several times. A man with a beautiful face and always driving a luxury car. I don't know where Vira can know a man whose age is mature enough to have this family. It doesn't seem like a college friend either.

Both Natha and Mirna, have never been in a relationship with a man. Even Natha who was old enough, there was never a man who confessed to her boyfriend and came to visit home. There were lots of greetings and gifts from men who liked him.

Vira's two sons are different. In one not so distant moment, there were two men present in his life. The brave one came to the house, gave him gifts, took him by the road, and showed his seriousness.

Mama pensively thought about how Vira arranged her heart that might branch. It also crossed her how she felt so sick when she found out her husband's heart was also branched. There is always something hurt when love is no longer one.

“So, last night Vira delivered home with Cokro?” ask Mama to Mirna who is still busy chewing pieces of strawberry cheesecake.

“What time?”

“Jam two malem Mah, cheating ya koq sampe malem so, Kak Vira is so bad deh!”

“Eh, don't say that, you don't know how!” said Mama sage.

“Mamah who would like to know Kak Vira's boarding address to Mas Cokro?” ask Mirna. “Koq can pick up Kak Vira?”

“Not Mamah koq. Mama also does not know your boarding address. Mom was never invited there.”

“Yesterday after maghrib Mirna tuh nyamper to kos Kak Vira but not there. She said that auntie was there Kak Vira left early in the morning and had not yet returned. Yes, Mirna has returned to Bekasi itself, eh Sister Vira also does not exist. Even the malem-malem delivered with Mas Cokro. Mirna doesn't know either!”

“Koq si Vira hasn't come down Mir? Try to get to his room. Afraid why. Mamah so serem ngebayanginnya.”

“What do you think? Afraid that Vira killed herself because of the affair? It is impossible that the son of Mamah so,” replied Mirna reassured Mama.

“Then, when Papah you claimed to have another wife and children, yes Mamah had thoughts of suicide. Just remember you Mir, remember your sister Natha and Vira. But yes it was then, now even if thought still hurts too. At least there are you guys sources of happiness Mamah.”

“Iih Mamah who cheated on Papah, yes it's natural to have that feeling, but this is Vira's brother who cheated on him. Very different, Sister Vira who makes people hurt times Mah.”

Not long after, with a towel draped over her shoulder, Vira walked towards the dining table that Natha followed.

“Child Mamah koq really long wake?” mama said as Vira approached and kissed her forehead.

“Capek really Mah, can only sleep at three nights.”

“News dong Vir, yesterday koq can be delivered the Cokro?” natha asked who was curious.

“My mouth still smells jigong.”

“Iih Kak Vira, this is Mirna's cake. Take it yourself in the refrigerator why the hell? Tuh, right scoop gini smell,” protest Mirna when Vira directly took over the spoon containing pieces of cheesecake from Mirna's hand.

“That's the cake from Cokro. Thursday night come bring this cake. In the refrigerator there are still several pieces of koq!” said Mamah who immediately made Vira almost choke. Immediately grabbed a glass of Mirna which still contains half a warm milk chocolate.

Natha swiftly patted her sister's shoulder to stop her cough. So that Vira immediately tell the story and eliminate the curiosity that has arisen. Vira set her breath back to regularity. He took a breath and was arrested and then exhaled. This is done several times until normal.

“Mandi first there,” pinta Mama to Vira.

“Who is Mah? Still in the room?” ask Vira.

“Saturday Papah there is a same family event there,” said Mamah slowly. Although it had been many times permission for the same reason still made this middle-aged woman sad.

“Ya yummy dong Mah, Mamah can have me time [time for yourself] a lot. Don't think about food. We can take care of ourselves. Food pens online only!” natha Sahut tried to comfort Mama.

Mom smiled. “Your are there. Later Aunt Hana, Mamahnya Dita want to take Mamah to Tamcit (Thamrin City), want to buy equipment for her baby Dita. She said she was giving birth next month. Mamah same Aunt Hana who bought, she said that Dita was pregnant was big, getting tired.”

“Keep there up what?” ask Vira.

“Hana's car was raised by Aunt Hana but who mengupirin si Bimo, her sister Dita. He said Dody's the same Dita's on vacation. The Bimo all hapalin street, just yesterday he made the SIM problem, said Mama explained.

“Iya, Mah, yesterday Vira met with Mas Dody in Ancol, just did not meet Dita. Says Confiscated again at Mermaid Cottage.”

“Elu why in Ancol Vir same as Dody?” natha asked in astonishment.

“There is a farewell party (parting party) event that I want to go to Japan.”

“Temen-temen mount lo?” asked Natha again who was greeted with a nod of Vira.

“Oh, so you met Cokronya in Ancol huh? So he's Dody's friend too?” natha asked who was trying to conclude their conversation.

“So you spent the same time together Cokro in Ancol? Pantes till night,” Natha accused.

“Yes, the story but not like you shadowed Nath. If from your speech I think I am a cheating man who really enjoys meeting with Mas Cokro,” reject Vira.

“Gue does not say that koq, do not be angry also times Vir, just usual. Take a shower to get fresh. Like sweat the rest of last night makes tension lo start to rise,” said Natha.

“Nanti Mamah was picked up by Aunt Hana at ten. Returned at the end of the afternoon. But do not know also, the Bimo he said again happy fun driving maybe later even invited to walk around Jakarta.”

“Nothing koq Mah, have fun with Aunt Hana yaa, go for aja let hepi Mah, let stay young,” said Vira who was struck with similar remarks from Natha and Mirna.

Vira went to the bathroom. There was a smile on his face. Coming home in the inner stillness he felt now was a wise move. There are families that are a place to share stories and flavors.
