^Fever Sunday Night
Gani isn't long at Vira's house. After eating, he decided to go home. The plane from Schipol Airport in the Netherlands, which was boarded by Mr. Herman and Mr. Ruth, landed at four in the afternoon. Gani promises to pick up instead of Mr. Yadi, their driver.
Gani's return makes Natha and Mirna stare at Vira with a look that makes her careless. As if he was a guilty accused.
“You koq so look at me. I think I'm fuckin'!” vira said in a slightly annoyed tone.
“Koq can you know Gani? And koq can he know our house?” natha asked in wonder.
“Badahat Kak Vira not very cute, but the guy why cute all, so strange!” mirna said astonished at the cynical intervention.
“Iih Mir, I sakep times Mir, your eyes are myopic,” reply Vira.
“That's Nath, remember I didn't tell elo if there was a Brotherhood who would sue me using the proposal. Well, that's Gani, Nath. Turns out Gani was Mr. Herman's son, a board member at my internship office. Crazy right? Who would have thought?”
“Koq you can know that Gani Brotherhood, koq Gani can know it you, he said you immediately returned the proposal!”
“Well it was Nath, Gani played to his Father's office when I was there and he remembered me. He said he sent me a proposal because he knew me. I know my face because I often meet in the same center perpus mosque. I'm just surprised, koq can happen like gini. Kayak soap operas aja!” hatch Vira.
“So you are actually confused not only about Kosa and Cokro, but also Gani huh?” ask Natha
Vira was silent in wonder. “Means lo Nath?”
“Suddenly Gani so close together elo to play to the house everything and koq can-can he know our house?” natha asked once more in a tone of wonder.
“Thursday I was invited with his brother to lunch together, there is also Gani so fitting return home to Bekasi. Just... turned out to be right until the house there is a car Mas Cokro Nath, so forced to ask Gani nganterin I returned to Depok. I am so scared!” vira said.
“Then have lunch with his sister? It's gotten that far?”
“Gue only invited to lunch with koq, that's it. Not far from Nath. There's no talk either. Maybe his brother knows who I am but doesn't interfere at all. Lagian Gani will also leave for Riau next week. He was directly accepted to work at the oil company.”
“Kak Vira must have done it, the car is built in that way!” sindir Mirna's.
“Ya is not. Why do I feel sorry, I do not love Gani. I told you, I'm not a girl matre.”
“If Mirna can choose, mending same Mas Gani only. Kak Vira come to Riau and be a good wife than here the temptation is too much,” Mirna advice without being asked.
“Tumben Mir, usually a supporter of Kosa,” said Natha.
“Myrna did not know that Kak Kosa used to like mutusin girls. I think Mas Gani is the best!”
“Iiih what the heck, emang milih guy tatitut choose this just choose it. It's a matter of the heart times. You're freaks!” vira is upset.
“Koq lo angry anyway Vir, it's good Mirna give opinion. Everyone has their own perspective on romance. No need to baper, you too are choosing!”
Vira fell silent. His stomach suddenly felt hungry. Remember just ate two slices of pizza and gave up the salad for Gani.
“Gue hungry, you guys are already full to eat just that?” vira asked as she stroked her stomach which began to roar.
“Gue is enough, ntar afternoon want to go with friends, most lunch and dinner outside,” replied Natha.
“Myrna is enough, not full but not hungry either. Eeh, what time did Mamah come home? Natha's sister coming home at what time? Mirna wants a reunion with her high school friends today. Just now Meita sent chat ngajak jalan.”
“Just yesterday passed already using all the reunion of Mir,” said Vira half insinuating.
“Vir, you are okay alone at home?” ask Natha
“It's like I'm a ten-year-old boy, Nath. Mom will also be home. It's good that I can sleep happily. No one bothers.”
Suddenly his hunger just evaporated. Thinking of solitude tonight made him no longer tasteful to think of what food to overcome this hunger.
Vira could not believe it when he opened the door of his house it turned out Mas Yudha, his front neighbor stood up gallantly. Office worker-style hair, jeans, collared jerseys, and the smell of vanilla and a little wood burst from his body.
“Mas Yudha?” ask Vira to just fix it.
“Iih Vira is already big. Long time no see Vir, but in front of the house. How's college?” ask Mas Yudha.
“Mas Yudha find who? Papah Mamah does not exist. Natha wants to go with her friend. Mirna also wants out.”
Mas Yudha laughed crisply. “You find Vira aja deh who is in front of your eyes,” Goda Mas Yudha.
“Mas Yudha koq so handsome anyway? Do you like gym? Koq's body so muscular gini? I think the last look is still very skinny deh!”
“You're watching Mas huh?” goda Mas Yudha again.
“Iih Mas Yudha. Mas Yudha kalem koq now so like to tease gini anyway!”
“Natha No Vir?” ask Mas Yudha.
“There's in his room. He said he wanted to go with his friend. Eeeh, hold on, hold. Don't be Natha's friend Mas Yudha huh?” vira looked at Mas Yudha with a probing look.
Mas Yudha simply answered Vira's question with a crisp sound of laughter.
“Sit first Mas Yudha, let Vira call Natha first.” Vira rushes towards the stairs, towards Natha's room.
He saw Natha was sweeping the powder with a brush on her face. Korean Look make-up matches her fair skin. Natha blends her blue jeans with a white T-shirt with a famous brand logo.
“The friend you took the road was Mas Yudha ya Nath? Didn't think I. Not yesterday you ngetawain his mother who nawarin Mas Yudha to you?”
Natha laughed crisply. “Hahaha, I was ogah Vir, but Mas Yudha keukeuh ngajak road. Because at home continues, the drought takes care of the front garden, love the same encounter Mas Yudha deh. The occasional road with his own neighbors does not sin too,” said Natha gave an excuse.
"I think Mas Yudha changed, huh Nath? A little aggressive, the feeling used to be very calm. Don't because now it's been a lot of money so pede it."
Natha just smiled and was still busy sweeping the blush-on brush across her face.
“Watch what time is Nath?” ask Vira.
“Mas Yudha has booked a ticket at eight past ten nights anyway. Yes, I'll probably be home around eleven o'clock tonight!”
“Old bushes are very Nath, this is mah not a friend anymore. Dating like.”
“Lu want me to bring what?” ask Natha.
“Myrna was invited to visit Meita deh Vir. Don't go to sleep before Mom gets home! Pity later if Mamah to wait outside,” pinta Natha to Vira.
“You don't bring home key?” ask Vira.
“Since when did our Mom get out of the house? Where ever bring a spare key. You who like to wander never bring the key.”
Vira laughs miris. I imagine tonight is a Sunday night alone. Watching movies on paid channels until you fall asleep is not a bad idea. Just need to prepare a lot of snacks.
Vira has completed two romantic Hollywood movies in a row. Serendipity and Leap Year never fail to make her heart flowery. After cutting Maghrib and turning on all the lights of the garden and the room, Vira intends to continue the show watching it. This time there are several choices of the latest romantic Korean movies that are presented by paid channels.
Suddenly the front door bell rang. Vira was immediately happy to think Mamah had come home. He can sleep faster. No matter still wearing short pajamas, Vira immediately ran to open the front door.
“Mamaaaaaah,” exciting Vira happy.
However, tetiba Vira was still riveted. It was not the middle-aged woman before him but the man he had just met last night. It's just that the black feathers on his face have now been shaved clean. I remember a similar face when this man first came to his house.
“Mas...Cokro Bags? Mas Cokro why come here?” vira asked in shock, her tongue now felt faint. His body now feels stiff, just standing.
Cokro smiled so happily at Vira who opened the door for her. This sweet woman must not have thought that she was coming. Even Vira only wears short pajamas. Her black hair now extended beyond her shoulders, making Vira even more beautiful in her eyes.
“Mas can enter?” tanya Cokro broke the silence on the front door of the house because Vira seemed to still be shocked to see herself.
“Eeh, uh, enter Mas,” said Vira slowly with a tongue that is still confused.
Cokro follows Vira who then sits on the green sofa of the family room. Cokro stared at Vira's face looking at the television screen. It seemed like the arrival of Cokro made Vira nervous and unaware of something. Vira only plays the television remote but it is not clear what movie he will watch.
“Watch what movie? Koq deserted house, Papah Mamah where?” cokro asked with eyes looking around.
“Papah went to his second wife's house. Mamah went with Aunt Hana, Natha the same way Mas Yudha, and Mirna nginep at Meita's house,” said Vira without turning to Cokro.
“You're beautiful. Your hair is getting longer now. Same match Vira.” face
Vira turned towards Mas Cokro. I don't understand what he said just now. His head and hands immediately touched the dense black hair. His eyes looked at the pair of legs that had no cover up above his knees. At once Vira realized what was happening and immediately dashed towards the stairs and towards her room.
Cokro saw Vira running and opened the door of her room located not far from the stairs. He laughed at Vira's behavior.
But it seems like a long time Vira did not go down, making Cokro become restless, waiting alone in the family room.
Cokro went upstairs. It's like Vira's room repeatedly. Cokro was afraid that Vira would fall asleep in his room.
“Vir, Vira. Koq Mas left alone downstairs? Vira angry with Mas?” cokro asked as he non-stop knocked on the door of his room.
No answer was heard by Cokro. Accidentally his hand turned the knob of Vira's room door. I want to open it and get into it. Make sure this woman is okay. But Vira locked her room. Cokro breathed.
“Vir, Mas go home yes!” said Cokro slowly.
Looks like Vira fell asleep or didn't want to see her. Cokro turned around with heavy steps towards the stairs.
He turned around when he heard the open door. Vira looked neatly dressed out of the room. Clad in blue jeans and a long-sleeved sweatshirt and a short, matching veil Vira walked down the stairs, passing Cokro without looking at her. Faint rose scent smelled in the nose of Cokro.
Cokro followed Vira who was walking towards the kitchen. He saw Vira preparing a Vietnamese dripper to brew coffee that seemed to be made for himself Cokro. Cokro's smile expanded in satisfaction while waiting in the bar stool located there. Vira looks patiently waiting for the last drop and then directly given to Cokro without any additional.
Chocolates smell the steaming aroma of coffee and then gulp it down gently. Enjoy the results of the droplets that are patiently awaited in order to create a good thick coffee.
“The coffee is good. What kind of a thing?” ask Cokro.
“Arabika Wamena,” replied Vira without turning to Cokro
“You're smart to mix the coffee.”
Vira smiled wryly with eyes staring at the floor. Then leave Cokro to the family room. Chocolates followed with a cup of coffee in his hand. Vira sits back on the green sofa and plays the television remote. Choose the movie he will watch.
“Vira want to see what? It just seems to be playing the remote. Already eaten?” cokro asked while looking at the analog clock on the wall that showed at seven past twenty minutes.
“Not yet,” replied Vira who was still staring at the television.
“You order online or eat out?” ask Cokro
“Serah Mas only.”
“You cook both?” asked Cokro again which finally made Vira turn to him.
Cokro smiled looking at the face of Vira who finally looked at her. The look on his face was not believing what he was hearing.
Vira did not think Mas Cokro could cook. Only use the ingredients in the refrigerator. Mushroom sauce chicken steak with cheese baked potatoes that are now served on the kitchen table.
Although the tongue of Vira prefers Indonesian cuisine but really Vira was fascinated to see Mas Cokro in front of the stove. Open canned mushrooms, defrost chicken breasts in the microwave, wash potatoes, and prepare other ingredients. Mas Cokro his hands are so fast and shrewd. Vira just help a little and wash the furniture.
They eat in the kitchen. Just two. Without wax and only accompanied by two glasses of apple juice full. Sometimes Vira steals a glance towards Cokro and casts a glance as Cokro looks back.
They eat in silence. There was no talk coming out of the two mouths that were just busy chewing slowly. But Cokro believes that Vira no longer tries to avoid or even feel afraid of him.
Vira himself could not remove the shadow of Mas Cokro when cooking earlier. The shadow of Mas Cokro that helped him clean the dirty dishes. Showing a different figure. Vira felt that there was something strange about her in looking at Mas Cokro this time. Even when they were watching together in the living room. Strange feelings were getting on him.
He watched Cokro secretly.
“Why?” tanya Mas Cokro surprised Vira. Making Vira flutter.
“Nothing koq Mas.”
“By the way, Vira want to go home?”
“Not, not Mas. Vira just wanted to say thank you for dinner,” said Vira sungkan and began to dare to look into the eyes of Mas Cokro.
Chocolates smile. “It’s my pleasure [with pleasure].”
Vira was silent for a moment but his eyes could not help staring at the lips of Mas Cokro who smiled warmly at him. That strange feeling was getting more and more into him. Vira approached Mas Cokro until their faces became so close. Dirabanya Mas Cokro cheeks are now without fur, but still feels rough. The tip of his fingers now touched the lips Mas Cokro who without realizing it is now replaced by his lips. Vira kisses slowly with the taste of cheese left behind. No longer a tobacco taste. His sense of compassion made him aware and stopped this shameful behavior.
“Sorry, sorry, Vira does not understand why Vira is like this,” said Vira pulled her face away from Mas Cokro with great shame.
But Cokro silenced the shame of Vira with a reply kiss so warm, mengumpum lips Vira completely. Cokro never expected that Vira would willingly accept it and reply to it was completely unexpected
