Tama And Ratna

63. Memories of the First Date

In accordance with Tama's promise, after from the residence of Mr. Broto Tama invited Ratna jajan in the square of the kidul as well as meeting with Cece. Tama wants to introduce Ratna to his wife Cece so that at least he will not be alone once when it comes to gathering with bhayangkari mothers later. Tama and Ratna had already arrived at the square of the kidul. Tama more followed Ratna's steps to buy a grilled octopus for fear of running out. His wife can turn violent if she is late.

While Tama and Ratna were waiting in line for the crib and tempura, Cece called and said he had arrived. They deliberately wanted to enjoy the vast scenery so they chose to sit on the grass after buying a lot of snacks. Actually Ratna already know the figure of Veronika Agatha, Cece and Tama introduced the two of them through video call, but this new meet so a bit awkward as well. Fortunately their awkwardness could soon be liquid as it turns out that Vero and Ratna have something in common. Eating that likes to explode.

"Dek Davina, here is the same aunt," asked Ratna.

Davina is Cece's daughter, about two years old and is running around with laughter on her lips. Ratna persuades him by buying him a balloon shaped Nemo fish. Then Davina would sit in Ratna's lap.

"Your minister Dek persuaded the little boy," praised Tama.

"Ji's program again" said Cece.

"Ntar first, which was then the battered origin of the program. Damaged my wife who bothered me too," replied Tama to her best friend.

"Emang still sick Dek Ratna?" asked Vero who was sitting in front of him while feeding Davina.

"It's not hurt, but not full recovery. Than later there's nothing. Again complicated also the house is not yet finished, new transfer. But as soon as possible" replied Ratna.

"Well, if there's any story. Because Dav's Papa is the same Aji our position is also yes," said Vero.

"Yes tea," replied Ratna who could already be familiar with Vero Tea.

While busy chatting, suddenly Ratna put on a mask that she deliberately carried in the bag. Cece and Vero were confused as to why, but after seeing Tama switch seats he understood. Near them were two men who were smoking. In fact, not only Ratna, but little Davina immediately coughed.

"Go ahead" asked Cece.

"Do you want to eat?" bring Tama.

Tama, Cece, Vero and Ratna then covered the angkringan row on the other side of the square. They alternately ordered dinner. After Ratna and Tama returned to the seat, it was now Cece and Vero's turn to go order. Tama was checking her phone when her arm was nudged by Ratna making her turn immediately. Tama saw Ratna take out the medicine, inhaling it once then storing it again. After that, he tried to drink a lot of water.

"Why Deck? Breathless?" ask Tama.

"No, but my stomach hurts."

"Can't you?"

"No idea, it's weird. If I get smoke my stomach likes to hurt," complained Ratna.

"Do you want to check up again?"

"No need, I will definitely check up full for work requirements. The schedule is next week, but we don't know what day the doctor is still out of town" Ratna said.

"Hopefully there is nothing" said Tama, taken by Ratna.

As a result of her stomach ache, Ratna not only felt the pain of her stomach but her body also became heavy. He can't even afford to spend his dinner when Ratna usually eats a lot. Because Tama was worried about his wife's condition, Tama first said goodbye to go home. Cece also saw Davina, her daughter was already whining from sleepiness so she and Vero came home too.

"Your welcome is next week right?"

"Yes. It's Wednesday."

"OKs. See you there's. I'm sure others can't wait to see you, too" said Cece.

"Prophey. 4 more days," said Tama with the peda.

...***...

As per the agreement of the two of them while still in Kalimantan a few days ago, Tama and Ratna will spend the day by taking a walk around Jogja. Starting from the morning, they headed to Ngrumput beach. The place they first date after a third meeting that continues accidentally. Once there, Ratna immediately released her sandals and walked barefoot along the beach which is now very crowded visitors.

Ratna was sitting on a rock sticking out near the shore. Tama took off her jacket for Ratna's seat whereas she preferred to stand up and let Ratna's height be more than her. In addition to Ratna's habit of playing with her nails and the tip of her pants, Tama also has a habit of drowning her head in Ratna's arms and letting her pet her head. But because of this in public, Tama did not ask to be hugged. He just brought his head closer to Ratna's hand.

"Dek..," call Tama.

"Hmm?" ratna asked while looking down.

"Well, remember what we used to do here?" ask Tama.

"Yes at that time you called Mas use the name "Father". Fear is not polite. And now he likes to mess with my hair," Tama's tease.

"Jude, stop."

Ratna instantly distanced her hand making Tama pout. Just got teased once when he gave up. Not cool, but Tama usually had to try hard to make his wife give up even though more often ended with Ratna angry and strike talk to him. Tama did not accept, she grabbed Ratna's hand and put it again on her head as a code if she still wanted to receive the treatment. They like the reverse both. If usually who likes to be randomized hair of a woman, this is even her man who likes.

"Dek..," call Tama again.

"What?"

"Bas kepo," said Tama hanging.

"Kepo why the hell?"

"You once said, you like the same Mas because Mas dutiful same old man. Because I love Mama. But you've seen for yourself Mas often angryin Mama, Mas even once snapped Mama. Do you love the same mom?" ask Tama a little carefully.

"No, before I dared to declare my love for you, I had already accepted all your shortcomings."

"Where do you know Dek? We didn't know each other at the time."

"Feeling Mas's. I don't know where, but since Mas said he wanted to invite me to PDKT in this place 7 years ago I was immediately sure if Mas was the person. And when Mas came on the day of my graduation, facing directly to Father and Mother I was increasingly convinced that Mas was the right person. We had LDR at that time, but Mas was able to maintain Mas' commitment to choose me. For approximately 7 years I know Mas, has never scratched my trust with Mas," explained Ratna.

"Where do you know that Mas never scratched your trust? Deck, in the old Mas unit there is often the same Mas story if his wife always checks the contents of his cellphone. Always check her husband's financial transactions. Always demanding news. But you never Dek" said Tama.

"Because I believe the same. It was myself who said. There are 3 things in this world that Mas most feared, the anger of the patient, the silence of the chatty people, and the disappointment of the faithful. I know that principle still holds true. Why am I jealous. Lha wong Mas wherever the place with whoever it is called is always me. Nesya was jealous of me. Because in front of him the story about me continues," Ratna said with a small laugh.

"Not 3 Decks, but 4," replied Tama.

"Dha?"

"One, the angry patient. Two, silence of the chatty. Three, the disappointment of the faithful. Four, Adiratna Widiyatna," Tama said as she bent her fingers one by one.

Ratna did not reply with words but she immediately grabbed Tama's ear until Tama complained in pain, "Dek. O Allah istigfar Dek the same husband should not be impudent," said Tama makes Ratna let go of her jewel but instead Ratna's face immediately bent sullen.

"Well, how not to nakutin. You are the person who patiently ngadepin Mas's random behavior, fussy when at home, and you are also loyal to Mas. If Mas scratches the trust you can die in Masnya place," said Tama trying to persuade Ratna. He wrapped his hands around Ratna's waist which was still holding up to sit in place but would not look in front of him.

"Oh I'm chatty, huh? It's yaudah I want to take care of."

Instead of being persuaded, Tama said, "Yes there. If you feel at home do not talk 10 minutes just Brian Mas paid off today too," said Tama.

"That's it. Naw. Unwilling. Just delicious. If Brian Mas lunasin now keeps my spending money how? Want to cut. Yes please if you dare. Do not use soap, clothes do not need to be washed, eat also boiled stone just take in the front yard. Not going to be Ratna masakin" Ratna said.

"That's the chatter coming out. Yaudah because you said there was not even 1 minute in them, Mas is not going to pay off Brian right now."

Ratna without a second thought immediately fished out both ears of Tama. Had really wanted to jam it, but it's a haircut Tama cepak, so it can not be grabbed. Yes, it is the ears that are the victims.

"Give mercy too. Maafin Mas yes, released this dong is really sick Dek Mas does not lie. Do you believe you'll never lie to me?"

"Mas the hell is nyebelin."

"Why do you want to Dek? Emotion again? Or is it sensi?"

"Not knowing, it feels like people are snapping. I want to shake people. I want to scream really hard. Pengen mecahin goods," confided Ratna.

"You can feel unfair. Clear your anger. Let Mas know, how big the wound that Mas has scratched in your heart," said Tama who was calm.

"Mas loves Ratna, right?"

"Don't ask Ratna, I love you so much."

"If I want to promise, whatever happens with Ratna, never stop Ratna from taking steps. Don't cover for Ratna anymore. Because Ratna wants to be strong to accompany a great figure like you Mas. AKP. Pratama Aji Saputra my husband, let me catch up to my. Let's walk side by side. Because I don't want to stand behind your back anymore. I want to look ahead. Looking at our future together" Ratna said.

"definitely. Whatever you want, I'll give you. But don't go too far. I'm not messing around about my fear of losing you" Tama replied.
