Salto World Wine
chapter 34: Back to the Hugs
“We'll talk about this next time. You go home first”
“If I don't want how?! For a year I was by your side. I was next to you when you were sick after being shown the same boy who was even 9 years younger than you. I was always there when you were hospitalized. I'm always there when you go back to Jogja. Butwhat? You still can't escape that boy”
“You know I'm going to Jogja open to meet you”
As the sound of Anggi's laughter rang out, Wine squeezed out his own hands which began to tremble.
“I know you are going to Jogja to find budhe from the boy, but I am always there for you mas”
“Fig, please we discuss next time huh?”
“Not funny, you who are 28 years old know to be watered, reviled just to get the boy?”
“Stop calling by ‘bocah it’ she has name”
“See? For now, when I even cry in front of you now, you still care about the name of the girl. continue what I have been doing all this time mas?. What have I been hoping for all this time?. I was willing to wait even up to 1 year more let you accept my application, but the richness is all in vain mas”
Wine closed his eyes, his hands closed his mouth so that the sound of his sobbing could not be heard outside. What was he doing to the two people up ahead?.
“Mas never asked you to wait for Gi. Mas has been firm since the beginning that mas absolutely can not make you accept you again”
“But in fact women are always willing to wait for mas”
“That's your mistake means”
“Funny you yes mas. How great is he actually to make you so in love with him?. All this time when I blamed him for leaving you, you always said that this is not the same Wine but your fault. But now when I say I'm waiting for you, you're saying it's all my fault. You're funny mas”
“Anggi”
“You know mas? Your mother always asks me what happened to you, but I only answer that I will be by your side forever. Mommy is happy and hopes I will be your wife later”
“You know that I don't have any feelings for you, right?”
“Yes I know. And I will try to make you have that feeling just for me mas, not for that boy again”
Wine held his mouth tight. His body was already shaking hearing the sentence of two human debate out there that involved him as the source of the problem. How big a mistake he made two people there hurt each other? How big was his mistake to make Arka so miserable all this time?.
As the sound of the outer door returning locked, Wine hugged his knees and buried his face, his cry breaking with a sobbing sound that could no longer be held back. Why is he feeling so bad right now? why does he feel like he has a big mistake?.
Wine further immerses the natural between the knees when in the sense of someone touching his guard. Arka, it was clearly the man who was crouching in front of him right now. Wine did not want to cry in front of this man, adding to the Arka pain he could never imagine at all.
“Dek”
Arka's soft voice rang out, making Wine even more weeping and guilty to Anggi for hearing the different tone of Arka's voice with him.
Wine raised his head, his already wet face complete with reddened eyes from crying looking back at Arka who was smiling gently at him. Adding another point of his guilt to Anggi.
I don't know why he's thinking about that woman's feelings right now.
“Sorry because you have to hear all those things yes dek”
Arka wiped her tears gently.
“Sorry also because you are angry brother, you must be afraid same brother?”
Wine did not answer. Her tears were still sliding and were rubbed by Arka's thumb.
“Sorry also because you feel bad with Anggi”
Wine is silent.
“And Sorry also because it might make you worry about what your brother has experienced when he met your budhe.”
When I heard the words just now. Tightness in the chest Wine again felt until the sound of Wine sobs again sounded. In addition to feeling bad with Anggi, since yesterday Wine also felt worried about all that experienced by Arka during his meeting with his budhenya.
“Abang is fine. Brother love you deck. Don't cry anymore yes. it should be a crying brother here dong not kamu”
Wine still did not answer even until Arka pulled him into the man's arms.All the things that Wine had feared for so long disappeared as Arka hugged him tightly while patting his back soothingly. Wine again cried great, as much as possible that made Arka even laugh to hear it.
Everything just needs time and explanation, avoidance will never solve the problem.
***
After almost 30 minutes the girl locked herself in a room with the excuse of wanting to calm down and asked Arka to wait outside, Wine finally came out with a fresher face complete with ponytail-tailed hair.
Arka who was now sitting on the sofa just looked at Wine while laughing. Wine's red face with her eyes was funny and pitying at the same time, Arka could not even hold her laugh until she was told to wait outside the room.
“Wine laper bang”
“You eat out?”
Wine shook.
“Interested?” Arka pulled Wine's hand to sit next to her. Not wanting to let go, Arka clasped Wine's hand tightly.
“Mau delivery or cook?” ask again.
“Emang brother got what in refrigerator?”
“Ngga. We can cook using that material” Arka fingers point towards the grocery bag that is on the dining table. The grocery bag that Anggi brought.
One blow from Wine landed right on Arka's upper arm. Not knowing where the mistake lay, Arka tilted her head while staring confusedly at Wine.
“Why were you hit? Pain tofu”
“Yakali we cook using the ingredients brought by Mbak Anggi. Don't forget brother already made him cry earlier”
“Indeed why? There's no harm, right? Mubadzir if not cooked”
No longer a punch, this time the pinch that Arka felt.
“Wine does not want ah. That would be using Anggi's money. Brother has no shame anyway. Udah make children cry people, eh still want to be treated aja money”
Arka laughed, rattled the hair of the gnarled Wine then got up and walked towards the dining table. Seeing some of the ingredients in the plastic bag then started to take them out one by one, ignoring Wine who was now sitting next to him looking at him dislike.
“We are open aja bang. Wine does not want to eat the same mbak Anggi”
“Who said this is who bought Anggi? Here buy him a brother card. So use money brother”
Arka moved to the kitchen table, making Wine follow and sit on the pantry table.
“Meanway? How can?”
“He holds one of his brother's cards"
“Why is that?”
Arka glanced at Wine for a bit and then laughed again. The wine side that asked a lot has also returned completely.
“Ya can dong. You see 3 months ago Anggi just moved to Jakarta. continue mother to tell brother to help aja aja Anggi need help.”
“Keep that card? You know that the help in question is not material help?”
Arka nodded then pinched softly on Wine's anxious cheeks. “Abang a lot of work in Squadron so rarely met. That's why my brother gave me the card so he could tell people to help him. Make pay them mean”
“Najong. So rich so much lo bang”
This is what Arka missed for the past 1 year. Talking with Wine is the most fun and there is no substitute. Enjoying a variety of expressions aimed at Wine makes Arka addictive.
“Why? Do you also hold a brother card? Brother can and willing to love at will for you”
Wine down from the pantry table then help cut carrots into match size “ Not necessary. Wine has a lot of”
“ Make a meal and treat Ocha Anya quite loh dek” now Arka who changed to sit on the pantry, more freely staring at the beautiful face of this girl of his puja.
It doesn't matter if Alan or everyone thinks he adores Wine so much that he's a love slave, Arka doesn't care at all. With Wine on his side, then all the things he has passed over the past 1 year have been sweet.
“Eh but.”
Arka smiled as Wine looked back at her.
“If you make it instead we can not meet bang, passable. Kan was brother said can not meet mbak Anggi because he was busy in the squadron right? Then there is a possibility that we also do not meet bang? Pretty Wine can go to the mall if you do not meet bang”
“Who said?” Arka came down from the table and hugged Wine from behind.
“We will meet every day. Every time I wake up, my brother's face will be adek see first. Want to marry your brother?”
“OK”.
