Salto World Wine

Chapter 19: Dead Lice

Waw, what kind of surprise is he seeing now?. Wine just silently observed the man. If he did not know Arka bang even met his ex first after returning from Solo, Wine might run towards the man and hug him so longing. But in fact, the sentence mbak Alin was as if his nail remained standing in place.

Behind it all, at least Wine is grateful because Arka looks so fresh and in good health. Unlike what bang Jaka said yesterday, if there is a possibility that the plane that bang Arka boarded can fall anywhere because it is classified as a new plane. Even bang Arka was the first person to drive it.

“He's even dumb. Failing to eat this good mah Cha. Back again yuk kantin, I'm still laper because. Baikan already sanah” Anya pat Wine's shoulder and then back left Wine alone. The purpose of Ocha and Anya was obviously the school canteen.

Wine walked closer to Arka. There was no smile at all as Arka waved at him. Wine just walked past the man and got into the car. Not talking at all even when Arka was sitting in the steering wheel.

“ Not this surprise story? I thought you would run away and keep meeling so surprised”

“ Brother Arka who Wine knows is still in Solo. Why hug others”

From the tail of the eye, Wine could see the wrinkles on Arka's forehead. The man drove his car a few meters away from the school before finally coming back to a stop on the shoulder of the road.

“ Loh cuddle with this brother story Dek?”

“ Think by yourself”

Arka laughed, though, scrambling the wrath of Wine's hair before finally returning to tidying it again when getting a sharp gaze from this girl “ Brother thought would be Waw if suddenly brother was already in your school when brother said he was still in Solo. But instead it's bete”

“ Yes it is bete. Brother said he was returning from Solo would meet directly with Wine right? Eh even met his ex first”

Wine looked at Arka's surprised expression now. The man's mouth now forms the letter O complete with rounded eyes. Like a thief who is caught with the people of the village.

“ Ko you can know?”

“ Knows many eyes same ear Wine in squadron”

“ Oh's.. “ Arka nods her head then returns to drive her car.

This time the Wine made was surprised by Arka's response. After saying ‘oh..’ his surprised face disappeared into a calm face with a smile that swears handsomely many times.

“ Cuman oh doang?”

“ Yes keep brother should how?”

“ Forget” Wine folds his hands in front of chest.

Arka laughs amusedly. The hand that was previously folded in front of the chest is now taken over by the Ark and grasped tightly. Instantly the sense of peace spread throughout Wine's body now.

Do not he also have a pot of Alin mbak same mas Akhtar?. Oh Wine never imagined he'd be an air force bucin.

“ That's just the past. My brother met him in Solo. It turns out one plane was back here. “

“ Didn't my brother till last night? Why did you meet again in the morning?”

“ Wah.. brother horrified himself. so many eyes in the squadron yes.you make them smitten use what? This beautiful face of yours?”

“That's mah brother”

Wine laughs. If it is bucin it can not last long to be angry.

“ So don't laugh. Brother kangen want to hear you laugh. Not a rich pout. So since your mood has returned, where are we princess?”

“ Wine has not bought snacks for study tour tomorrow. So the rich want to shop first bang”

Arka sighed sadly “ Just met, tomorrow has separated again dong. How many days are you studying tour?”

Okay. It's not just her being so pure. Arka is the same.

“ 3 days”

“ Okay. Ready for princess shopping?”

“But the brother who paid ya?” if there is an Arka then Wine will make the most of it.

“ Ready bu bos”

The journey to the shopping center is still relatively smooth considering it is still at 13:00. along the way both Wine or Arka share stories about their respective activities. Wine tells the story of what Ocha did while teaching himself and Anya mathematics but ended up with Ocha himself who was crying because of emotions. And Arka told me about her 4-day job in Solo. Oh the story about his ex also did not escape the question Wine.

It only takes about 30 minutes. The car they were driving had arrived at the shopping center. Wine instantly picked up the trolley and began to browse the shelves containing different types of snacks. Hearing that Wine was shopping with Arka, Ocha and Anya immediately gave a list of light snacks they wanted. Miraculously bang Arka agreed to pay for everything later.

The man who first met became his guardian at the police station, now turned into a walking bank of the three of them.

“ You don't buy chocolate dek”

Wine smelled his smile. That call this time already sounded laughable in the ear. But Wine did not matter because Arka also did not intend to change the call.

“ I don't like chocolate bang. But maybe buy one for Anya”

“ Which one is deck?” Arka who was already in the position nearest to the shelf containing a row of chocolate again asked.

“ A small aja bang”

After Arka took the chocolate. They returned to the shelves containing various types of Snacks made of potatoes.

“ You like this one right dek”

Wine nodded.

“ Dek”

“ What?”

“ Dek”

“Dek”

“What is bang?”

Arka laughs that make Wine also laugh “ Ngga seneng just call you adek. You have no intention of calling me mas”

“ Don't dream bang. Wakeup” Wine walked away leaving the man who was singing his lips.

Really people who see them will definitely think himself a chili-cabean who still wear school uniform is on the road with om-om.

“ Where are you going? To the house of what mother to the home of the commander?” Arka again asked questions when they were outside the shopping center and were putting one by one shopping bag into the trunk.

“ To home mom first yes bang”

Arka closed the trunk door, then entered the car followed by Wine who was now sitting next to him.

“ Instead of brother giman-gimana yes deck. But you don't want to see your baba? More than 2 weeks ago dek”

Wine shook his head “ Later ya bang. Wine is not ready. But if Wine meets baba later, bang want nemenin right?”

Arka smiled then nodded. Wine is already in early adulthood, this girl can already know which is good and bad for herself. The task of the Ark only needs to be reminded.

“ Okay. We walk to mom's house then”

***

It only takes about 1 hour, the high fence of the mother's house is in front of her. But it's been almost 30 minutes. Arka still has not released their hand link.This man still holds his hand while telling a story that is also not clear direction.

Although not clear, like the story of Arka nemu frog sleeping in the pool in front of his house to stay, the story of two lovebirds who seized in the cafe Solo, Solo, even up to the horse who told the road but even fell asleep to make delman almost nyungsep forward. Wine was still listening with a smile.

The strange story was just an excuse to add hours to their meeting today.

“ Bang this don't want to be released? Udah ½ hours more just in front of the fence” Wine wiggle their hands both.

“ In a moment. right tomorrow I don't see”

“Ya brother enter aja then”

“Abang has to go back to the squadron again.someone has to report. If entering is not good if only briefly keep permission to go home”

Wine squinted his eyes suspiciously “ Not good or afraid to meet dad?”

“ Why fear. If you tell your brother to sleep now your brother is also ready. Brother is a true man”

“ Can be a chance. I went back to the squadron, later brother did not get a leave of absence if his work has not been done"

Wine got out of the car. Walk to the back of the car, then open the trunk and pick up 5 bags of his groceries.

But only 2 pockets in his hand. His body was pulled gently and ended up being embraced by Arka now. The man hugged her tightly while shaking his body to the right and to the left.

“ This what is it anyway bang?”

“ Brother is still missing. So justin brother hugged you briefly”

Wine put two shopping bags from his hands then hugged Arka back tightly.

“ Kangen but meet the same ex dulu”

“ Still discussed anyway dek”

Wine laughed as one step softly landed behind his head.

Still with the same position, Arka again asked “ So how did you propose yesterday?”

“ Which one?”

“ The To Jogja”

“ Oke”

Arka releases her embrace and stares at Wine in disbelief “ Okay? Seriously you want deck?”

“ Cuman is known, right? Yes no problem”

Arka's smile. The man hugged Wine tightly again while saying thanks. Wine was still hesitant indeed, but let alone this time he would fight his doubts for the first time.

Wine hugs behind the Arka “ Bang this if father knows his son hugged long and did not let go of your bang”

Arka laughing. But it does not care because the tiny body is even more tightly embraced by Arka. If you look from behind the Ark, maybe Wine's body will not be visible to your eyes so small.

titttttttt...

the sound of the car horn that Wine knew so much made Arka let go of his embrace instantly.

Wine approached intending to prank the man by re-embracing him, but Arka slowly dodged Wine's embrace.

Of course the man did not dare, when he saw who the driver of the car was honking just now. Dad, and the one sitting next to the driver is the commander.

2 Shots according to Wine who is now laughing amusedly at Arka's awkward behavior.
