Swaras



Jogja-Malang trip takes about seven hours. Half four in the afternoon the new train stops at Kota Baru Malang Station. The air typical of Arema City returned they inhaled after four days out of the city.


Bryan and Caroline are still in silent mode. What is their relationship now? Break up or keep? To be sure, Caroline hated the sole heir to the barge company.


"You guys fighting again?" Ask Anara who from yesterday noticed the movements of her two best friends.


"No." Bryan looked at Caroline.


"No fight. But, it's done. Close the book." Tukas Caroline fast.


Anara and Candra stare at each other alternately towards the two. Of course they were both surprised. How can? Wh why? That's the only question that pops into your head.


"You want to know why?" Caroline's voice was made to satirize the man who had been willing to play her.


"Why?"


"He .. made me an escape."


Candra frowned at Caroline's confession. All he knew was that Bryan was with Caroline by accident, not for the runaway. Then, what kind of runaway did this shoulder-haired woman mean?


"meaning?" Anara also wondered what Caroline meant.


"Ask, noh! The man's still alive."


Caroline braved herself. He did not want to look sorry or look lost honestly Bryan. Instead he has to prove, without Bryan he can be happy. The failure of their relationship was not a sad one. So Caroline thought.


"Where does Yan mean? You guys broke up?"


"Yes, Ndra." Bryan's down.


"Why?" Anara asked.


"There's another woman in his heart." Caroline can't wait for Bryan's confession. Then the woman walked away.


Everyone was silent at Caroline's last words. Indeed, at the beginning both of them established status. Bryan once told Candra and Anara that the man had no taste for Caroline. The inauguration of their relationship was purely a misunderstanding, so was at least a confession from Bryan.


"Don't tell me it's mine!" Sergey Candra to Bryan.


"It's impossible, right?" Keep Candra on again.


"Gue wouldn't be too nervous if it were." Firmly Candra looked at Bryan who was just speechless.


"Truly bad you." Candra chirps remember the reason for the broken relationship Bryan Caroline.


"Where else? I am not in love."


"It's hard if the lizard has become a crocodile."


"Husses. With gini. Caroline doesn't feel more lied to." Tukas Anara and made Bryan nod feeling that his attitude was not wrong.


"Tell Rati that we've reached Malang!" Anara Pinta.


Rati did not come back to Malang. The girl who believes she will pass the entrance exam chose to visit the house in Klaten. After the selection yesterday Candra drove him.


Closing the phone with Rati. The taxi carrying them had already swept through the city streets. Bring the three of them back to walk the spaces that will be remembered nostalgia.


"I went straight to the kos. The day after tomorrow I also want to go back to Kediri."


"That's rushed. Ramadan is one week away."


"Yes. I've been very kangeeen with mom, same dad." Anara imagines longing moments in Ramadan with family at home.


"When are we gonna catch it, Ndra?"


"I'm going to Kediri, right?" Ask Candra.


"Raptain you?"


"Meet the future-in-law." Answer Candra confidently.


"Not to!"


"Why?"


"Yes, said Bryan. What's to do?"


"Udah said to meet camer."


"That's fine if you've graduated. It's work."


"Why is that?"


"Yes. Strange, what do you want now? It's the neighbor's talk."


Anara's living environment is indeed full of neighbors who like to chat if something is fairly unusual for them. Moreover, Candra wants to go to Kediri. It can't be a day home. Definitely stay. He and his family can be used as talk.


Hufc ... It sounded like Candra was breathing rough.


...----------------...


"Read longer, Yan."


"That's why you enjoy!"


"Nikmatin, enjoy! You feel good to have a chat. L'm I?"


Bryan looked back at the passenger beside him. A middle-aged woman who was fast asleep in her sitting position. His mouth is a little bit open.


"See who you come with?" Candra's rhetorical question made Bryan breathe out loud.


Finally Bryan fell asleep following the middle-aged woman beside him. On both ears hang a headset that plays beautiful tones full of rhythm. Take him to the dream world.


"Yin ... Bryyan. Whoi! Wake up!"


Bryan's brown eyes were open. Revealing the look of his sidekick whose hand was shaking his sturdy arm.


"What?" Bryan rubbed his eyes.


"Udah until. Didn't you come down?"


Without asking again. Bryan got up from his seat. Following Candra and Anara. He saw an empty chair next to him. The middle-aged woman was no more. It's down when he's asleep maybe.


"Still far away, An?"


"No. Half an hour, Ndra."


"What are we doing?" Bryan's voice in between him yawned.


"Wait to pick me up!"


About 20 minutes they were stranded at the grocery store. A car stopped across the street. A man in a slim fit black shirt chime into ¾ beige trousers crossed over and walked towards the three.


"Swari." Greet that man.


"Have you come?"


"Yuk! The car's over there." The man pointed at the car across the street.


Huh huh? Who her? A swari? Which man is my rival. But why look alike?


Same with Candra. Bryan shrugged his shoulders as Candra stared at him as if questioning who this man was driving.


"When to get back from Bandung?" Anara's voice broke the silence.


"Fusa."


"Oh." Anara nodded.


"Go home?" The man asked from the rearview mirror, staring at each passenger in the back seat.


"Yes. I've laper once. I'm momuk's cooking." The man agreed.


Who the hell is he? So cool again.


"Oh yeah, my goodness. I forgot to know this is my sister. Swara." Anara realized that had not introduced her two bodyguards since Malang earlier.


"Marty."


"Gue Bryan's. And the man was floating beside me. Her name is Candra." The man named Swara smiled.


Oh ... So Anara has a twin sister. Unsuspectedly.


Bryan was still staring at Anara and Swara alternately. But ... a minute. A swari? No stranger according to him. Swara and Swari .. haha are happy that he also has a brother of that age. Especially the gender difference. Must've been exciting. Can be invited to walk when singles like this.


Unknowingly Bryan smiled happily. Imagine that his imagination becomes real. Until a clap resuscitated the daydream.


"Down, Yan!"


"Eh, you're here, An?" Anara nodded.


"Smiling. What shadow is hayoooo?"


"No, I'm afraid I have a twin brother. Exclaims for sure."


"What call? You do not have a brother rese macem Rati. Lu shadowinnya your brother who is calm-kalem aja anyway. That's why you can smile." Gerrilla Candra.


"That's because you keep calling him 'Rat'. That's why he's so welcome to you. I'm not going to." Tukas Bryan's.


"Eh you amnesia? Who is the most passionate about singles? Haha."


"Udah. Coming in!" Tell Anara to stop the quarrel of the two karyabnya.
