The Desire Tarnished

The Desire Tarnished
Omah's Silence



Drrt drrt


Wine's phone vibrated, Wine immediately answered the incoming phone call.


"Hello, Neng Wine!" the sound of mother kosan.


"Hello mother!"


"Where are you neng Wine?" What time is it?"


"Yes, Wine's coming home soon!"


"Remember at 10 p.m.'s boarding gate is closed."


"Good ma'am."


Wine hung up the phone while looking at Vishnu.


"Cosan's mom called you?"


"Yes." Yeah."


"Come, I'll take you home!" vishnu.


When heading to his boarding house, Wine asked Vishnu to stop his motorcycle on the side of the road near the city park, where the city park is, where Wine with his papi often spend weekends. A glimpse of those childhood memories flashed in the embrace of his eyes.


The atmosphere tonight is cooler because of the heavy rain from last day, although so sparkling garden lights decorate the beauty of the night. Tonight was not too crowded because of the heavy rain and wind that made some trees in the city park fall. Many people and children walk and sit in the park.


"Let's sit there!" vishnu.


Vishnu parked his motorbike on the side of the road, then they walked together, Vishnu noticed Wine's slow and slow footsteps.


"Are you tired?" here I carry!


Vishnu crouched down and offered his back. Wine went up on his back, where Vishnu would carry him up to the park bench.


While sitting on a city park bench, her childhood memories shot up, bringing her to mind her cheerfulness with her papa. Seen from a distance a walking busker, Vishnu called him.


"Bang, here!"


The busker approached, then Vishnu whispered something to the busker. The busker nodded his head then he started singing a love song. But the sound of the busking sounded deafening. Wine smiled widely, as soon as his laughter broke. Vishnu laughed amusedly and asked that the song sung be stopped by giving money to the busker.


"Why don't you sing that song for me?"


"I can't sing, baby!"


"Come, we're home!"


The night air is getting colder


Vishnu took off the jacket he was wearing and gave it to Wine


*At the same time in different places.*


Katrina sedang duduk menghadap laptopnya, tiba-tiba ponsel yang tergeletak di sampingnya berbunyi.


"Hello!"


"How's Windy doing, Katrina?"


"Is he okay?"


There was a very loud and heavy male voice from there.


"Who's this with?"


"Haha..Have you forgotten Katrina?"


"What do you want?" yell Katrina.


Tet...Tet..Tet..


The phone connection was also cut off.


Katrina's face was tense and anxious. He looked back at the phone number he had just contacted. He tried calling the number but was not connected. Katrina recalled her daughter, with her cell phone still in her hand, Katrina tried to contact her but there was no answer.


While Wine did not realize that his phone was shaking when Vishnu turned on his motorbike, Wine immediately climbed up and sat behind him while holding tightly to his Beloved's waist. The motor drove through the cold city air to deliver Wine back to its boarding.


******


Next day.


Wines...Wines


A loud voice called out, breaking the silence of the morning. Wine opened the window of his room.


"Yes mom!" sahut Wine's.


"Mamih neng, phone!"


The mother of the boarding house told him to go down and show him the cell phone in his hand. Wine hurried down, passed the stairs and took the cell phone that was thrust at him.


"Hello mamih says Wine.


"You're okay, baby, last night I called you." Why don't you answer the phone from Mamaih?


"Sorry, Wine didn't know you called last night!"


"Yes, come on, I've taken care of your return ticket for the 2pm flight!"


"Yes, get ready for the airport!"


"Good mamih!"


Wine hangs up and returns the phone to the costing mother.


"Your phone can't be reached, so your mom called my mom's phone!" say mom kosan


"Yes last night the battery was lowbat, ma'am!"


"Cas your hape battery yes!"


"Okay, thank you mom!"


Wine rushed back to his room, Wine's sudden return, making him unable to tell Vishnu. During the trip to Denpasar, Bali. Wine became agitated, worried that Vishnu was looking for him or even angry at him. Wine tried to contact Vishnu after the plane landed at Ngurah Rai international airport, but his girlfriend's mobile phone could not be reached. Wine saw his watch showing at 16:15 p.m. Vishnu should be contacted or maybe Vishnu has a meeting in his office, he murmured in his heart.


In front of the arrival door, Katrina was waiting for her beloved daughter to arrive. Wine waved his hand as he looked at it from a distance. Katrina waved her hand when she saw Wine walking towards the arrival exit.


"Darling", Katrina hugged her daughter. "How was your trip, tiring",? ask Katrina.


" Yes, said Wine.


When Wine set foot in his house again.Omah who was sitting in the living room, suddenly stood up and walked towards his room, seeing the presence of Wine. A condition that becomes a burden of mind and heartbreak, where the omah who is none other than her own grandmother but never spoke to her, Omah is always silent and never shows affection to her. Omah impressed haunted in the eyes of Wine. Omah is always silent and does not like the existence of Wine.


The figure of omah so haunted his mind with his attitude impressed as if Wine was never in his eyes. Katrina understood very well what her daughter felt about her mother's attitude towards Wine, but Katrina preferred to be quiet and let the situation go instead of explaining it to Wine. Katrina made her way to the omah room while Wine noticed there was tension on her face.


"The bell has come!"


Mbok Lastri greeted Wine kindly and took the wine suitcase from Wine's hand, then carried it into the room. Wine went straight to the room, resting his body on the mattress while holding a cell phone and sending a message to Vishnu.


*Sorry didn't tell me my return today*.


Fill in the message Wine wrote.


Drrr.


The phone vibrated, visible on the screen incoming calls from Vishnu.


"Darling, where are you?


vishnu's voice came from there.


"Bali, sorry to tell you!"


"What, Bali?" a surprised voice sounded.


"Yes, sorry Vishnu!"


"It's okay, I'm waiting for your return, give my regards to my future in-laws!"


"Dear, I'll tell you!"


wine's smile grew to hear Vishnu's words.


"I have a meeting, yes!"


The connection was terminated, Wine again broke his body. Feeling tired during the trip made him sleep for a moment. Wine woke up from his sleep when he heard the screams from the back room like someone was fighting.


Wine walked quietly to the source of the sound and peered from behind the door that was not tightly closed.


"Until when do you keep quiet with me, Katrina!" bentak.


"Mother please, don't interfere in my business!"


"I deserve to know your business, you're my son, Katrina!


"Mother, help!"


"Tell me everything or you'll be sorry about the kid!" omah's voice sounded so loud.


Wine stepped back but he nudged the vase so that it fell and made a noise.


Brraaac


Vases of flowers fell and broke scattered on the floor. Mamih came out of the room omah trying to help Wine who was picking up broken glass. Wine saw a tear in his eye.


"You're awake, Wine!"


"Yes, sorry for accidentally dropping this mamih vase!"


"It's okay, let the mbok who will clean up!"


Her face was still tense even though Katrina tried to hide it from her daughter. Wine knows there must be a very big problem between mami and omah so there was a fight earlier. With a slightly restrained voice, Wine tried to ask what he had just heard earlier.


"Why is omah so angry, mamih?"


"No, honey!"


"Was Wine the one that made you quarrel with omah?"


"No, honey!"


"Who's the kid mamih?"


Katrina was surprised when Wine asked that and she looked very nervous when Katrina heard the question from her own daughter's mouth.


Seriate......
