SPECIAL ACTOR

CHAPTER 5. SPECIAL GUESTS

"Duh Lodiku darling ... Why don't you get acquainted?"

Santi immediately regretted Lodi who did not try to get acquainted with the helper.

"I forgot. But I've already thanked you, San."

"If you invite acquaintances, it can be followed up."

"Ih, what the fuck. He's still very young."

"Aiihhh .. You are still beautiful too, Lod. Pregnant your body does not stretch. I deserve twenty."

"Idiih" said Lodi manyun.

Santi chuckling. Satisfied to tease his thickest friend. They both relax in the kitchen.

"But Lod, I don't think you should be too tired. Your pregnancy is getting old. Just have your assistant go around, who is it?"

"Zula?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Zula can't ride a motorcycle."

"Find someone else."

"But who? I can't just replace Zula. He is diligent and trustworthy. You could say the weakness is only one, can not ride the motor."

"Seek one more!"

Lodi took a deep breath. Santi's advice is okay as well. Just ....

"I can't promise a salary according to UMR. That's the problem."

Both Lodi and Santi fell silent. Both think about 'other people'.

"Eh, I have mango sweets. Eaten, nih," said Santi while prodding a plate of sweets.

Lodi takes and chews slowly.

"Lod, what about my sister?" suddenly Santi gave me an idea.

"Your sister? Juki mean?"

"hey are. Who else?"

Lodi. Marzuki aka Juki is Santi's younger brother. Last seen when the boy was Junior High. After that, we never met again. Also in college in Bandung.

"I haven't forgotten the smell of the fart" Lodi said grumbling.

Lodi, Santi and Umay were still in high school at the time. Juki's still in a red and white uniform. Lodi and Umay play to Santi's house.

"He put the carcass of the lizard in Umay's shoes. Then the roaches' carcass in my shoes."

Santi chuckles at remembering the past.

"But I was really emotional as she gathered her fart in hand. Then throw the smell of fart on my face!"

Santi chuckled louder and louder.

"Lodis... It's so ugly your memory of Juki. But believe me, he is not so now. Funny thing is still, but his attitude is mature."

"Oh, huh? But, does he want to?"

"At this time, he received drawing orders, designs. New kid, not busy. I think it's for her experience as well."

"If he wants to, I don't have a problem."

"Assalamualaikum," someone said hello.

"Waalaikum salam. Uh, long life. That's Juki's voice."

Santi looked at Lodi with a smile. Lodi replied with a thumbs up right hand.

The sound of feet approaching.

"Em, what's cooking, Mommy? It smells good."

"Ki, remember not my friend. Lodi."

"Oh, are there guests?"

Juki turned towards Lodi. His roar surprised. But just for a moment. Next smile sweetly. "Mr ...."

Replace the glaring Lodi. Breath restrained. Mouth's open. "You ...?!"

So Lodi, what does a Juki mean to you right now? A super-foolish ex-boy? Or the dark-eyed angelic youth?

***

"Mas, aren't we going to Mama's house?" ask Nada.

A long sigh passed before finally answering, "me only."

"When can you accept me?"

Fall silent. Mama's words are still ringing, "my daughter's Melody. Not Tone."

"Yesterday I looked at Ms. Lodi. Just shut up when I see me."

Nada now looks at mom more often. When visiting, it was unexpected that Mama Sumbang was also going to besan's house. But to see Lodi.

"You also did it there," said Sumbang flat.

Instantly the taste in the heart of Tone became bitter. 'Is it worth it to answer like that?'

"I didn't know Mom was right there. I'm there looking at mom."

"Mas is not seen trying to soften my mother's heart" protested Lodi.

"You should have shouted that time" said Sumbang in a high tone.

"What do you mean, Mom?"

"You should have fought that time. If you fight a little, I won't continue!"

Nada looked at her husband. Both of his hands gripped the bed linen tightly. If the current position stood up, surely Nada had fallen.

"Kok Did you say that?"

To throw away face, ogah see the face of Nada.

"Mas!" call Nada as an effort to make her husband look. But the man stood away.

Nada fell in love with the man at first sight. He remembers the details very well.

"It's your crutches." That's the first sentence you said. His crutches were dumped by his prankster friend.

Coed tones. Contribute lecturer assistant. Actually Sumbang never taught Nada. They are just university. But not as a faculty.

He was heartbroken when Sumbang finally proposed to Lodi. Tone continues to love in silence.

"Why are you saying that, Mom?" sound Tone vibrating.

Not answering. He clenched his hands tightly.

"If you don't want to divorce me, I'll sue for divorce!" Lodi yells.

"I'll take responsibility. That's certain. But I can't afford to divorce you!"

"Then what kind of responsibility do you mean?"

The quarrel was still clearly drawn in the minds of Sumbang. He still loves Lodi wholeheartedly. But the hard-boiled woman if you have decided something yes should.

"Arghh..." Shouted Sumbang while hitting his fist against the wall.

Stiffened tone saw an emotion-filled Beetle. Two tears flowed down his cheeks.

***

"Mom's glad you got more rest."

Lodi's content has entered the eighth month. His stomach looks big. Conditions without a husband. It's natural that you're worried.

"Yes, Mom. Juki is reliable."

"Juki who almost made you break up with Santi?"

Lodi. That was years ago. Juki's mischief almost makes Santi, Umay and Lodi's friendship disband.

"Your sister too! Used to get cockroach carcasses into shoes. Now the gum."

"Duh, I'm sorry. Juki..."

And the one called out of nowhere. Stick while laughing because Santi got angry with his friends.

Juki's not just ready to drop off. He is also innovative.

"Sir, do you have an address or contact number for the craftsmen to order?"

"Make what? They obviously refused the return."

"Maybe you can exchange for goods worth. Daster, mukena, kid's dress. If only the router was a little hard."

"May try."

And Juki's pretty successful lobbying. It's only part, but good.

"Great you, Juk.'

"Thank you, Ma'am."

"What are you getting into guest shoes now?"

"Haa.ya it's not Mbak."

Lodi chuckled again.

***

That morning Lodi to the kiosk. Two days he didn't look at the stall.

"Relope ...."

"Eh, Miss Lodi."

"Why so?"

"Eat the lotto."

Lodi looked towards the inside of the stall.

"Well, are you too, Juki?"

"Eh, yes Ma'am. Sorry, the lotto only bought one. Mommy want me to buy it?"

"Ah, no need. Just ate. You two plates?"

"Eh, anu. Juki only bought one when I was hungry too."

Lodi shook his head, then smiled. "Ah, you young man."
