Ryuka And Four Secret Men
Chapter #9
Time passed, the afternoon rolled into night, it was time to eat from the food brought by Gino and the others. Raka kept her promise to behave as usual. Ryuka was also with great difficulty of course.
“Where Q, dapet island girl?” Tempting Ryuka at Q who was returning home continued to bend her face.
“Dapet, ten years older than me, many even,”
“Hha?” Ryuka asked not to understand.
“They can be called thirty-eight year old women who are not married,” obviously Q is getting upset.
“Hahahhaha”
“Kan according to the real definition of Qwenzy, they are not married yet,”
“Hahahhaaha” Ryuka laughs satisfied. “Thank you didn't join Ka,”.
Everyone laughed, staring at Q who was silent did not turn into a joke that night.
The day is getting late, because it is too early to fall asleep. Q and Ryuka, the five of them, start the karaoke machine. Fortunately, Gino and Ken built a villa that was quite far from the house and close to the beach. Make their noise no matter how noisy, still swallowed by the breeze and the sound of the waves.
“However I am Kaa, how come there are people who are blind in your rich tone,” Ken with a concerned look to Ryuka.
“True, but if the voice he spoke, nenangin the patient so, how nice, yes,” Gino also looked at Ryuka while crossing his arms in astonishment.
Q and Raka just laughed while looking at Ryuka who covered her ears no matter what.
“Let's people on ngiri if I'm really perfect, so.” Ryuka said confidently.
All four of them just rolled their eyes lazily, not forgetting the look of disgust.
Soon, Ryuka and Q began singing various genres. Starting from Raka's favorite ballad, Ken and Gino. Until now, Ryuka and Q are getting ready to sing their favorite genre Pop-Rock.
Qwenzy did choose that genre for her career and Ryuka had many song references especially pop-rock to liven up her busy days.
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life
They started with a million-person song, Bon Jovi. Accompanied by jumping around like their single concert. As well as stretching out hands as if welcoming the hands of the audience who enjoyed the stage action.
*They always recognized Ryuka as a complete package woman, Ryuka knew how to position herself among her friends, even Ryuka did not hesitate to replace one of them when they had to accompany their parents check-up* to the doctor or just pick him up in the airport. Work a holic but he is good at having fun too, except for his discordant and unhelpful voice of course. The five of them finally partied until 4 a.m.
Ryuka as the morning people, at any time he just fell asleep, his eyes will be wide open, at 6 am. It was as if there were automatic switches in both eyes. Things that can make Ryuka upset on her day off that she should be able to use to sleep as much as possible.
Ryuka swept her eyes towards her friends who were still in the dream. Except for Raka, who also started wriggling in her place a sign she already had back her consciousness.
“Hmm morning, hooaaammm,”. Ryuka walked slowly past the sleeping Q towards the coffee maker. Without asking, Ryuka makes a glass of green tea for Raka, she knows Raka's stomach is less friendly with coffee in the morning.
“Why did you guys sleep in the guest room anyway? Dear room,”
“Keet you sleep alone there? Yakali we all have the heart,”
“And I'm used to it, dear room is taken Ka,”
“More dear you,” Raka stared sincerely at Ryuka who stuck out her tongue.
In the middle of them enjoying the sunrise and light conversation, Raka's phone rang, Mother's name stated. Ryuka chose to play her phone next to Raka.
“Nih I want to say,” Raka thrust her phone at Ryuka.
“For Mom, I'm in good health, right?” Ryuka greeted me kindly.
Their conversation lasted less than 10 minutes.
“What mommy said? No more weird talk, right?” Ask Raka, because Ryuka deliberately moved away to freely chat with Raka's mother.
“Hehehe. Just news, my work, continues to be taken a little because now rarely stop by the store he said,”
“Mmmmmm, yes, you rarely go home too,”.
”And that was before I moved house, your old house will be the most strategic to gather first, that was before we are all busy now,”.
”I've thought to buy back old house,”.
”Oh yes? Why not be?”
”Mother who ngelarang, he said for what to move if still want to maintain the house,”.
”It's true too, but a lot of memories of the five of us in your home, so noisy, dad until the renovation of the basement to be our headquarters,”.
“How is it not, the neighbors have already complained to Mom and Dad, want to evict you guys is also not possible. Where could Daddy,”.
”Bener, Daddy is very cool, not infrequently also will hang out with us until the middle of the mall,”.
”Until Mom protests because her husband has no mouth next to her if you want to sleep,”. They both laughed.
No more conversation, they are immersed in each other's thoughts. Including the biggest loss that Raka experienced. Dad was one of the victims of a back-to-back accident. Although he was rushed to the hospital where Ryuka worked at that time.
But unfortunately, shortly after arriving, Dad had a cardiac arrest and finally breathed his last. Mother lost her beloved husband so quickly, making Mother so late in grief that it really disrupted her health.
That reason is also what makes Raka take the forced step by selling their house. Watching the Mother often cries because she remembers every memory with Dad in the corner of the house, even with a quarrel with Mom. But after watching Raka cry begging him, until the sentence, he did not want to lose his mother too, then the mother finally collapsed and tried to give in.
A big step, which ushered in the condition of the mother getting better. Trying to accept fate and looking for some busyness, to decide to open a flower shop, which is indeed a favorite activity of the Mother. When she heard Mom's plan, Raka immediately agreed to it right then and there.
Raka and Ryuka choose to enjoy the morning with silence while continuing to repeat their memories like a movie with a manual projector in each scene, which they realize has been assembled a lot.
“Kaaa,” Raka start a conversation.
“I don't want to be horrified if you talk weird again,”.
“Ya is gone,”. Will Raka give up in the end?
