Sorry, We're Not in line anymore

Buttonhook

I stared at the ceiling of my room. Chirping. I don't know what they're fighting about. I know they seem to be actively interacting.

I don't know why, I suddenly want to go fishing. Button it, cool. Practicing patience. Bayangin only, already giving shrimp bait, if not destined to get fish, yes for days, will not be able to.

Remember the story of Subandi, he said, at that time salary and honorary benefits did not come out for three months.

So, the days every night he fishing in an area that he said a lot of fish. But, one night he could not at all, until the 2nd day.

Finally, he owes fish in a Chinese shop. Fortunately, the man was kind. Fish debt for up to a week, please.

"Oah, Subandi.....Subandy. Your fate is lucky again. Try it when the Chinese are stingy. Continue to be given what to eat, the people of his house," murmured me, while remembering the story of Subandi at that time.

After all, I want to minjemin money to Subandi also no money. So, I was just a loyal listener, when he told me.

Honestly, I would really like to help make a loan, if I had the money. But I myself am also helpless. The same fate was Subandi, at that time.

Now, do I just lure, so I can save expenses. Moreover, in three months, Hira is the birth of our son. Borrow where if not save yourself from now on.

Well, there's three months left. God willing, when the birth time comes, I am not confused about the cost of labor.

Yes already. I tried to take Subandi. He also has a hobby of fishing. So, let a friend go fishing.

Fishing alone, would be boring. If there are friends, it must be at home in fishing.

I tried to contact Subandi via whatsapp chat.

Whoa! Straight okay, he said. Steady nih. The spirit! The spirit!

"OKAY. Mas Bro's. Tomorrow we leave at 23:00 wib how?" said Subandi immediately wanted, when I invited.

"And tomorrow Sunday. So, we'll have a Sunday night at the Dompak bridge. There are a lot of people fishing," Subandi assured me.

"O yes." I said excitedly.

Not satisfied with talking through chat. I finally called him.

"Yes what. Mas Bro." he said as he answered my cell phone call.

"Tumben here, what's wrong, why suddenly fishing?" tanyanya.

"Regular Bro. No more money. So if fishing. Appreciable. Got fish. Keep making side dishes" I replied casually and to the point on Subandi.

"Oah. You two are already employees, Mas Bro. Yes, you do not have money" chirped Subandi still through the phone.

"Haha!" I said let out a laugh.

"What officer. Officer from Hong Kong? If Hira, he has been appointed as an officer. Well I am, still honorable. You are mocking me yes" I replied at length.

"Hmmmm Patience Mas Bro. Maybe it's not time to be an officer. Mas Bro is still an honorary. I have, five years of serving as an honorary. Only after limping his way. I was appointed officer. It was quite a struggle for me," said Subandi changing the story at length.

"I have also served five years. My son will be born soon. I'm still this way. Soon, I will be a father. I don't know what my next fate will be after my son is born. Income is not added. Spending will be a lot." I complained.

"Yo Patient toh Mas Bro. There's a child, there's a windfall. There is no way God can hurt us. Gusti Allah will give you the same fortune Mas Bro, said Subandi consoled me.

Spontaneous, I guarantee what Subandi says. I'm relieved, at least I've confided in Subandi, let the burden on my head be light.

"Yes at 23:00 and pick me up. Now I want to go to bed first. Kan tolerable. An hour and two hours, it could refresh the brain," I said to Subandi and we finally separated.

In half an hour, Subandi picked me up. I waited. I'm prepped. Setting up some fishing gear and my bait.

"For a long time, I didn't use my fishing gear. But, it's still good and awake. I put it in a special bag. Thank God long time not used, now used again. Bismillah have good luck tonight" I murmured excitedly.

Subandi motor sound. He's been nongol at home. Exactly 23:00 wib.

I hurried out to the terrace, welcoming his arrival.

I see, he also has his fishing rod, on his back.

"Eat the fishing bag," I said suddenly.

"It's been a long time, Mas Bro. I really don't wear it. Sometimes I want to go, no friends. I also rarely get big fish. The biggest fish is the pinky. Kan males, Mas Bro," Subandi's story.

"Hmmm, it's the same with me. Every Saturday/Sunday, we go fishing. I also found a fishing friend. If it is alone, it must be the innate males," I said again.

"Hahaahahahah. Wouldn't Mas Bro rather be alone?"

"If you go fishing, in a dark place. By ourselves. Not ah. Serem." I said.

"Huhahahahah.....!" Subandi laughed.

At twelve midnight, we arrived at Tanjungmoco Port. Said Subandi, in this port many people fishing and fish big-gede.

"Buskey. Know here people's favorite fishing spots. I come here every day. Why just tell me now, Bro. If there's such a cool fishing spot," I said protesting to Subandi.

"Yes, I guess since I got married, Mas Bro doesn't like fishing. Anyway, I'd like to take Mas Bro, disinclined. Afraid again the same people home," said Subandi.

Kebayang, later tonight can big fish as big as my arm. Kan tolerable. Can for a week's worth of side dishes.

Later, if there is a fish supply in the refrigerator, I will diligently cook. Cook themselves. Eating alone. The wife left it at her mother's house. Hahahahahahahahah!

"Mas Bro, Hira when is the birth?" ask Subandi.

"Bro! Bro! Heavy Bro! Something's on nihhhh!" my peek.

"I'm sure I got a gedeeeee!" I said reassuring.

Is correct. When the fishing line tried to lift me to the surface, there was a fish. "Fish in harmony" said Subandi.

"I can also nott nih Mas Bro," said Subandi excited.

"Well, we'll be here in the morning. Let's get a sebakul. Can make a stock of side dishes a week." I said.

"Hm. I'm okay Mas Bro would like to be invited until morning," he said.

In my heart, if I'm like this. I want to go fishing every day. I hope with the results of this fishing, my monthly income from salary, I can save.

Hopefully, when Hira lahiran later, I can finance it. Not to mention buying baby clothes. I must have spent a lot of money.

"O Allah, grant me fortune, before my son is born" I prayed in my heart.

Suddenly Subandi said hungry. He said he hasn't eaten. I'm actually hungry, too. I had the idea I was going to burn the fish there. Digado must be delicious.

"That's a great idea" said Subandi. Finally we burn the fish there, until waiting for the morning.(connect)
