The Couple SAID

The Couple SAID
Duka



The sun has not yet revealed its form, the girl who began to awaken first. Ana opened her eyes that were still reluctant to open slowly. The first time he saw it, his left hand held tightly to his sister who was asleep comfortably waiting for him. Ivan lay his head on the edge of Ana's bed, Ivan's peaceful face made Ana calm.


The wiggly eyes glanced at the sleeping girl on a long sofa, covered in a jacket. Ana recognized the black jacket. The gift Ana gave Lili's sixteen-year-old birthday just two months ago. Lili was so happy to get the gift, what else was the jacket she had tagged for a month. His intention is Lili will buy the jacket later, after the school needs he has bought, understandably, the savings are not enough.


Lilies to jump on her mattress when opening a gift from Ana. He prayed that Ana would be his sister.


Ana is so nice, remember to wear it. Really happy Ivan became his sister, Lili did not want to be disobedient with her brother, her name is sister, the nature of Lili and Arya is not much different, Lili is cold but not frozen, different from Arya, different from Arya, his coldness from a distance of one km was already felt.


Ana tightens the grip that channeled warmth, eager for Ana to embrace Ivan, her wayward sister who she always loved.

Salat alarm from the cell phone that pinned the girl's body, woke the owner. His heavy eyes forced open, Ayu was still dazed, his eyes moved left right, trying to recognize where he slept. Ayu sat down, still with her life not yet fully accumulated, Ayu flinched, as her feet stepped on something. Ayu turned her head down, her eyes could not guess who was sleeping on the floor. Ayu shifted to the end of the sofa, and turned on the lights.


“Cetta?” he said after the middle room filled with light.


“What is he doing here?” I thought for a moment, then


“Gosh.” Ayu patted her eel, then grimaced. It rubs its clapbed eel until it makes a sound. Ayu just remembered Bian staying over. But instead of Bian sleeping in his room huh? Why would it be here?


Ayu doubted whether he should wake Abian up. At the sight of Abian very sound, afraid Abian will be angry later?


Bangunin, no. Bangunin, no. Bangunin, no.


“It does not need to be builtin.” He said then passed leaving Abian who wriggled.


Bian's eyes glared at the glare. He glanced over the sofa, Ayu was already nowhere. Thankfully, so Bian did not have to wake Ayu up. Bian sat up and shook his bandaged feet.


“As can already?” Abian was about to wet his feet. Yes it is not possible Bian ablution but his feet in staying, feet should be wet, if not yes where the legal wudhunya.


Bian slowly stood up, he was relieved that it did not hurt anymore, although it would feel painful anyway when exposed to water later. Bian continued his steps towards the room.


“Eh Cetta! Careful.” Kaget Ayu finds her best friend who insists on walking normally.


Ayu who was daydreaming, suddenly worried. Ayu stepped over to the friend who had just entered his room, Ayu's hand was outstretched to help Bian walk but, quickly rejected Bian.


“no need Yara, I can kok.” Ayu just stared at Bian who was looking down uncomfortably.


“Oh, okay.” Ayu took two steps back while smiling awkwardly.


“I wudhu first.” Before Bian went any further, Ayu made a sound.


“Your feet,”


Ayu glanced at the feet of her best friend who was still wrapped in bandages. Bian forgot to open it. Without asking Ayu to pick up the scissors lying on her dresser. He took his desk bench, then put it behind Bian.


“Sit.” Tell Ayu, Abian according.


Ayu crouched down, removing the bandage that wrapped Bian's leg.


“It's dry.”


Ayu stood in followed by Bian.


“You sure, peri loh?”


Abian nodded steadily. After storing the scissors, Ayu again sat on her bed, her legs dangling in her waggles. Bian came out of the bathroom with water dripping on the tip of his bangs even the water on his face was not in the cauldron.


Ayu threw away her face, she gulped.


Satan teases the friendlier for Ayu to stare at Bian for longer. Not wanting to be instigated, Ayu immediately stepped out of the room, before reaching the door Ayu's steps came to a halt.


“Yara no salat?” I looked at the one who asked.


“Against the obstacle.” Ayu's hand grabbed the doorknob on the pull, wanting to close, before the closed head Ayu poked.


“Together sheath is in the closet, take aja.” The door was closed tightly. Bian Smile, hopefully they stay like this, no more quarrels will damage their harmonious relationship.

“Cetta breakfast.”


Bian who was daydreaming on the prayer rug was awakened. Bian turned his head, he nodded, the girl has changed her clothes. Ayu took a bath in her mother's room, some of Ayu's clothes were also tucked inside Dini's closet.


Ayu walked to the dining table, leaving Bian who was tidying up his prayer equipment. Before leaving the room, Bian took the time to look in the mirror.


“Suffering.” He said as he rubbed his eyes, expelling the puddles present. Bian smiled in front of the mirror, he smiled widely, not wanting to look moody, after ready Bian passed to Ayu and Dini at the dining table.


*****


“Already?” ask her daughter who just arrived.


“Already ma, Cetta back here.” They waited for Bian to start breakfast. Breakfast in the morning, has become a habit of Early, yes want how again to be able to breakfast with his daughter before the daughter left for school. Even on holidays, breakfast is still carried out at half six in the morning.


Not long after, the one who was waiting approached. Bian smiled kindly at Dini.


“August aunt.”


Ayu thrust out a plate that contained two rice cobs.


“Enough?” ask Ayu. Most of the time. Instead of running out, better ask first, right?


“Enough.” Bian only ate enough, for him two pitchers of rice, able to make him fast all day. Ayu has moved to get Lauk pauk for his best friend, but quickly prevented Bian.


“Let me just.”


Bian is not good at being treated like this, he has been sleeping, continues to eat, eh even want to be served like a host. No. gabe. Bian refused. Ayu placed the plate that had been fertilized with vegetables in front of Bian. Dini who saw the rare phenomenon in her home was smiling to herself.


“Please mama now want to go to your house, you take care of yah” house


“Eh now ma?”


“Mama said what?”


“Now?”


“That's it.”


Habits of +62 residents already know, even just called, nanya again. Patience.


“Bian aunty stay yes, fine at home, don't fight.” Emphasis-filled early speech in the last two words.


“Iya aunt.” Answer Bian clumsy.


Dini was ready from earlier, he just wanted to see his two children eating in front of his eyes that was all. With the bag draped over her shoulder, Dini approached her two children, standing between them. Abian who was devouring his food in shock with a swipe at the top of his head, more like a randomization than rubbing anyway. Ayu greeted her mother, then Dini passed from Bian's sight.


“Why?” ayu asked after swallowing the rice in her mouth.


“Gak papa.” Bian sounded sad. His face looked a little gloomy, a little. Ayu could recognize that expression even though others were unaware.


They finished breakfast, Ayu cleaned all the dishes and dirty glasses, while Bian kept the remaining food into the closet.


“You are helped Ra?” tanya Bian wants to help wash the dishes


“No need to sit down.”


As Ayu finished his laundry, Bian again daydreamed about what he was thinking. Ayu who had finished Washing, he looked at the gloomy Bian, this time the sadness was very noticeable on his face. Bian was unaware as Ayu approached him.


“What's up?” ayu asked worriedly, honestly this is his first time seeing an Abian Cetta this dark. Bian is a cheerful figure, always managed to give color to him, and to the people around him. That's what Ayu knew before they split up. Bian's out of town, and Ayu stays here. Something must have happened that could not have been a figure who always created excitement, could look this sad.


“Cetta?” after being called, Bian realized, he was too fond of seagrass.


“Iya?”


Oh naw. Actually what happened, Ayu wanted to know. As Bian looked up at the girl standing next to him. Bian didn't know what was going on until he made his best friend cry. Ayu is unable to hold back her tears, her Cettanya looks about to break. Like understanding what happened, Bian's eyes were watering, not wanting to hold back, water dripping just like that. Both of his palms Ayu used to cover his wet face, he was sobbing more and more.


Bian kept looking at his best friend, there was a sense of relief in his heart watching Yanya cry for him. Still with the melted water, Cetta's smile rose.


*****


After being satisfied with the crying scene, the two now look more relieved, as if they have just released the tightness that has been charming. Ayu stood facing Bian who was ready on his bike, day went, Bian had to go home today, after all tomorrow they returned to school.


“You sure? Her legs don't hurt anymore, do they?”


“Iya Yara I can.”


For the umpteenth time Ayu kept asking the same question. Ayu is just anxious, Bian's bike is heavy, yes even though Bian's body is also high, not making it difficult to ride but his body is a bit thin, Ayu so worried Bian can not support the weight of his motorbike now.


“You why use a big motor anyway? Doesn't have a motor matic?” tanya Ayu now looked annoyed.


Bian chuckles


“Nevent, this is the only motor at home.”


“There home.” Get rid of Ayu


“Gosh I was kicked out nih.”


“Udah spit there.” Said Ayu as both of her hands moved to expel. The engine is on.


“I go home well, be careful at home. Assalamualaikum.” The motor sped up, leaving Ayu who kept looking until Bian's figure disappeared from his sight.


“Waalaikumussalam.”


Ayu stepped inside her house, leaning her bully and head against the sofa's support.


“I haven't been to Cetta's house in a long time.” Ayu stood up, walking towards the room. He put his body comfortably on his bed.


“Mama Cetta how are you?”
