Soldiers — For Remi

Seeking Alternatives

Travel can be said to be boring and exciting at the same time. All because in one car, there are two parents and two young people who better understand the development of the world today. Often om Sujana starts a debate between them. While they were debating the superiority of the Beat and Aerox motors, Mudita could only listen to their conversation—and, in the end, fell asleep on Oddy's shoulder.

　"But I often read that girls love guys whose bikes are beat. Aerox has never been discussed," om Sujana replied.

　Oddy held back a laugh, while bang Arif patted his eel, his laptop was on his lap. "It's different, um," said Oddy briefly. "Beat the market, om. That has more beats than Aerox. Not that girls like it, but average on the beat."

　Before you can reply to Oddy, their car suddenly stops. They all staggered forward, let alone Mudita who had fallen from her seat. While Mudita Siuman and Oddy help her sit back while holding back a laugh, om Rival stops and gets out of the car.

　"What's wrong?" mudita asked, her voice sounded like a drunk.

　"Law. There's a guy talking to diem, uh it turns out to be sleeping. Keep j—" Oddy's sentence was cut by om Sujana who opened the car door and exited.

　"Out yuk, it's been sampe," he said briefly when on foot.

　Bang Arif opened the car door and restrained her, waiting for the two brides to get out of the car. With Oddy's help, Mudita is still half-consciously guided out.

　The place is not too grand, but surrounded by various kinds of plants. The parking itself is fairly narrow, although beautiful. Not far from where they stood was a house, in which appeared some side dishes, vegetables, and some tables and chairs, like a warteg in general. In the distance om Sujana and om Rival walked closer to a man and woman.

　"Oddy and," om Sujana kept silent, trying to remember the name of Mudita who had not introduced herself from the beginning.

　"Mudita, um," said Mudita.

　"Thou... Mumu," om Sujana patted the shoulder of the foreign man next to her. "It's Jack Heart, well that's next to Queen's Heart."

　The man thrust his hand at Oddy. Her skin is yellow. "My name is Fajri. Nice to meet you," he smiled, his teeth eleven-twelve with his skin. He looks the same age as Bang Arif.

　"I'm Reemar" the woman smiled sweetly. Another case with Fajri, the woman with him looks more attractive. Her skin was pure white, her black-brown hair was shoulder to shoulder. His hands stretched out, clasping Oddy's hands.

　If only Reemar had just shaken Oddy's hand, maybe he wouldn't have felt uncomfortable. However, Reemar's hand clasped Oddy's hand tightly. Oddy pulled his hand forcefully, taking his eyes off Reemar.

　"Yes, come in, yuk," Fajri gave way for them to enter the Tree-Hindu area. Fajri becomes the host and guide, walking in front, in contrast to Reemar who walks with Oddy's entourage.

　The outer and inner appearance of Tree Longs is much different; from the outside, Tree Longs appear narrow, yet inside, Tree Longs are very broad. There are places to rest at some point and various means of entertainment such as swings. In addition, the plants they encounter are more and more diverse, even to some plants that are rarely found in the surrounding environment.

　"Oh, yes. Where is our new heart candidate?" asked Fajri, looking towards them.

　Mudita slowly brandished her hand, still hiding behind Oddy's body. "I, mas," he said softly.

　His smile is getting wider. Fajri approached Mudita, grasping and pulling her arm. "Well, you have a lot to learn. I pinned him down first, yeah. You can rest here."

　Om Sujana, om Rival and bang Arif seemed to agree with Fajri's request. But not for Oddy. "I can come, can't I?" ask Oddy spontaneously. He will not lend his pacsr to just anyone, let alone be left with other foreign women.

　"We want to train him immediately. You can wait with Reemar and the others" said Fajri, pulling Mudita's arm so she could walk.

　Mudita could only smile a little. "I stayed for a while, yes," he grabbed Oddy's hand, greeted him and said goodbye. Maybe because he was lazy, Oddy did not return his greetings and looked at him disappointed. Slowly, Fajri and Mudita walked away from the group, out of nowhere.

　Within minutes, the Soldiers were comfortable in their own places; om Sujana and om Rival were sitting in a hall, enjoying a cup of coffee and a pack of cigarettes, bang Arif is continuing his duties on the laptop. Oddy? Sometimes he sits with om Sujana and om Rival, sometimes also keep Mudita's phone and see the development of bang Arif. Reemar is still following Oddy.

　"Gga mesen anything?" reemar asked with a sweet smile. He sat on the same long bench as Oddy and bang Arif, and every second moved closer to Oddy.

　"Ngga, thank you," replied Oddy briefly. His face looks sour— clearly he looks annoyed, but whether Reemar is an idiot or does not understand, still he tried to approach Oddy.

　A few minutes later, Oddy walked to the table om Sujana and om Rival. His presence interrupted their conversation, for at once, they were aware of Oddy's sour face.

　"Why you, Dy?" tanya om Sujana was astonished, offering her cigarette.

　Oddy just shook his head. "Ngga papa, um. Just curious about SMS."

　Attention om Rival distracted, glancing towards Reemar who is now watering the plants. "The girl has a crush on you" said om Rival.

　As if not hearing Rival's words, Oddy only grabbed a cigarette. With a lighter om Sujana, he burned his cigarette, exhaling smoke. "Yes, I don't know."

　"Bring it up, Dy!" whispered to Sujana. "You're just different how many years he's got."

　Oddy just shook his head, smoking his cigarette in silence.

　Just called, Reemar had already walked up to their table. "Om, want another pesen? We have snacks too, you know! I'm the cook. Quality assured!"

　"Nga, neng. Thanks," said Rival

　Om Sujana chuckled. "Udah saucy, can cook again. Won't you be a housekeeper?"

　Reemar just smiled, then approached om Sujana and whispered in his ear. Om Sujana shook his head, "Ngga, neng. Why why?"

　"Dy," whispered om Sujana, approaching Oddy. "Last time he went to me, I'm one house not with you. Really demen ama amu you she."

　Oddy shrugged both of his shoulders, putting the rest of his nipples in the ashtray. He just hopes Mudita can come back soon and accompany him here.

...♡...

Time shows at 2pm—it's 3 hours they wait for Mudita and Fajri to return. Om Sujana and om Rival have spent at least 4 packs of cigarettes, while bang Arif began to surrender with Mudita's phone. The young man took a long breath.

　"Why, bang?" asked Oddy, smoking the rest of the cigarettes he burned earlier.

　"It can't be, '" replied bang Arif. "Gua tried this-that, didn't see you either."

　Om Sujana and om Rival approached the table bang Arif. "Gimane, Rip? Meet you?" ask me about Sujana.

　"Some, bang. Don't know either. Arip tried this, but still didn't meet."

　Hearing his answer, om Sujana sighed. "This is how it is, we have only one choice."

　"What's that, um?" Oddy responded immediately.

　Before om Sujana could answer, a woman with a white sundress approached their table. Who else, if not Olivia. "Again busy, huh? What, all of a sudden a bunch of gini?" she smiled sweetly.

　Om Sujana turned to Olivia, returning her smile. "No, neng. Kite's going to the news broke, yeah."

　Olivia's face looked a little disappointed. "I just cooked, om. Eat here, huh?" his tone sounded clear.

　"We want to buy cigarettes also outside" said Rival.

　Although she looked disappointed, Olivia nodded her head with a forced smile. "Yes already. Ati-ati, um, Oddy."

　That way, om Sujana and om Rival began to walk towards the main gate. Seeing Oddy who was still sitting next to the Arif bang, om Rival stopped his steps. "Oddy, come on!" sahut om Rival.

　Oddy shook his head. "More money for gasoline doang, om. Oddy's lager isn't either."

　"Udeh, I pay. Rich don't know me!" reply to Sujana.

　"Udah, you're coming. The cave wants to continue this daunted," said bang Arif while fiddling with his laptop.

　Being forced, forced and a pushy situation, Oddy mindlessly goes after om Sujana and om Rival. On the one hand, he is worried about Mudita's phone and SMS that have not been tracked; on the other hand, he is relieved to be out and free from Olivia for a while.

　Because of the strategic location of the Tree Miss and is on the side of the road, the Soldiers do not need to walk too far. They stopped by a shop to buy a pack of cigarettes. A few meters later they walked, they found a warteg.

　Om Sujana enters warteg first. "Assynnya!" warm greeting to the owner of the warteg. That way, om Sujana and the owner of the warteg started their warm conversation. "Lu on mesen first no papa. My friend who has a warteg."

　Om Rival pulls out a long chair and sits down, followed by Oddy next to him. They each ordered their choices and started eating. Another case with om Sujana who only ordered a cup of coffee, raise his left leg on the chair. The brother of the owner of the newsg pamit, asked om Sujana to keep the warteg while he was out.

　"Dy," call om Sujana, exhale the cigarette smoke. "You kite want to play the Joker, our only choice is one: Soin girl you bait."

　Oddy's appetite is gone. The rice and side dishes in his mouth felt bland. "What do you mean?" he asked, swallowing his food.

　"Gue Belom never found a rich case of your girl. The underage. And, he's the only person I know, who's instantly connected to the Joker. So, yeah, he's kite bait. Want not to want, kite must always know the development of "training" him."

　Oddy nodded, removing the spoon and fork from his grasp. "Can, um can go straight to Jack Heart."

　"Well, look, Dy," om Sujana shifted closer to Oddy. "Jack ama Queen The new heart. Still young again. The real mah, old. I suspect the Fajrinya."

　"Kok, can? Isn't the department of each group just the same?"

　"Well, that too. I dapet news The heart of Wajik has been changed first from when the day. Only Kinky Soldiers blom."

　"Where, si?" oddy's patience is thinning.

　The sound of the glass being slammed rang out from the right; om Rival clasped his glass tightly, but his face was flat. "Since Soldier's death that time, everything changed..."

　Om Sujana nodded, nodding his head. "Iye, I also felt everything changed," he exhaled his cigarette smoke, now silent and contemplating.

　Instantly, the atmosphere changed completely. Warteg kemvali silent, except for the voice of commentator ball from TV in warteg. Oddy slowly pushed his plate, then asked for a cigarette from om Sujana as a dessert. Everyone shut up, thinking.

　Yes, yes, there is no other way?
