Time rolled so fast, it had been so many months tragedy rolled waves in the sea he passed, now the normal life Ajeng began to return. He could already accept the fact that this was indeed the best. Her love is gone. Maybe carried away by the waves with all the memory stored in his heart and mind.
Although it can be ascertained, far from the bottom of his heart, still terbesit Barata Aji Dewandaru name. The figure of yes all this time very much he missed.
He walked into his life with a new beginning. A new story, a new story and maybe a new love.
His activities at the blue campus where he studied increasingly become. Some days he did not even go home, sleeping in his friend Lystriyani boarding from the opposite Island.
Currently, the campus is preparing for an international seminar entitled Psychology in individual and community empowerment which will take place tomorrow. He became one of the students involved.
"Well, aren't you home today if you don't go home again?" The more familiar Lyriyani called Lilis reminded her.
"Subhanallah, beluum. Hold back, I ngabarin people home first. Brabe nih if you forget" Ajeng immediately moved, combing the room looking for a place that is not so crowded. Some days he was staying at Lilis boarding house, and he had promised that today he would go home, but the schedule he expected was missed. Looks like tonight he has to go the extra mile for the smooth running of tomorrow morning's event.
He immediately looked for his home contact number. It didn't take long, the phone was connected.
"Hello Asalamualaikum"
"Walaikumsalam" Someone replied.
"Kamti MBok? Mr wonten teng ndalem? Niki Ajeng"
(Kamti sir? Dad's at home? it's Ajeng)
Mbok Kamti is a neighbor of his house who is usually asked for help by his mother.
"Mbak Jeng's medal father, kalih wau enjing's rank mother, tirose bade teng Bank."
(Father was out Ma'am Jeng, with Mother, leaving this morning. He said he was going to the bank)
"Mbok Kamti also bade kondur nopo tekih dangu?"
(Bak Kamti is going home yet?)
"Niki was bade wangsul Mbak Jeng, cantun nguncini lawang. Uh telpune moni. Important mbok dados kulo tampi"
(It's already going home, Ma'am Jeng, just locked the door. Uh the phone rang, fear was important so I picked up)
Getting an answer from Mbok Kamti, Ajeng glanced at the clock on his wrist. It turned out to be noon, the clock showed almost 2 o'clock.
Mbok Kamti is a handler - a helper at his house, an iron-washing specialist and cleaning up every day. Come in the morning and go home after dhuhur.
"Oh nggih sampun maybe Ajeng call HP Mr. Nopo Mama mawon. Maturnuwun Mbok's. Asalamualaikum"
(Oh yes already, later Ajeng call HP Bapak or Mama only).
Rena turned off her phone.
"Udah? " Lilis suddenly came, patting her shoulder. Makes him instantly surprised.
"Astaghfirullah, Subhanallah iiiihhh you" Ajeng glanced at his eyes. Feeling annoyed with Lilis who was suddenly behind him.
"Mama's father went to the bank again he said. Then he's in Purwokerto. Like again managing his retirement savings Mr deh" Ajeng replied with eyes still fixed on his cellphone screen.
Yes, a few days after the phone and the bag disappeared, he immediately looked for a new phone, and with a new number of course. Ajeng deliberately changed his number, not without reason he did. Besides not bothering to take care of KraPari, he really wanted to bury everything that was in his past. Including Barata yaang lost without news and messages. It was as if he had indeed disappeared into the earth.
Yes, he had already swallowed the earth. He will never appear before her again. Never will!!!
Sometimes love makes people go crazy. And his madness is probably what makes things complicated.
"Heh, I'm dumb. How's it? " Lilis who saw herself pensively started to get impatient.
"Eh, yes, patience has been established" he replied.
"Halo Asalamualaikum, Mr.. "
"Walaikumsalam, again busy Jeng? Mr. again in Purwokerto nih, out of the Bank. Where are you? can follow you to Jln. No bank? finished your school hours? "
Not saying anything, his words have been cut and muddled with questions that persist.
"To Jln. Bank yes, I wait at the usual soto chicken stall. We certainly wouldn't have thought who was with you at this time"
While Ajeng was still dumbfounded. Trying to digest the words of his Father.
"Where?" Lilis asked when she saw herself putting a cell phone in her alma mater's pocket.
"Tell it to Jln. Bank it's me, Mr again there nyoto."
"Oh cus, it just so happens that we haven't had our lunch yet. That work lives a little more, can be done first with the other. " Lilis looks excited.
"Far off but, get in there, it's hot"
"Eh you want to be a bad boy do not mengejalanin mandat Bokap? You wait here, I'll find a vehicle first. " Lilis ran a little leaving Ajeng alone.
Free dining opportunities rich gini when will come again, mumpung windfall hahha
Lilly laughed to herself.
Not long after, he came back by showing off a key to her.
"Yanuar's motorbike pinjem nih, yuk " Without asking Lilis explained.
They came out of the parking area of the Faculty of Psychology. Looking for the existence of Yanuar's sweet black motor. It didn't take long until they found what they were looking for. Lilis drove it away from the parking area, passing through the main campus door leading to Jln. Banks.
The streets today have begun to stretch, maybe because it's past lunch, making not many people who come out. It took no more than 15 minutes for them to arrive in front of the Jln soto ayam shop. The legendary bank.
Every time you go to the city, Mr. Grace has never been absent to eat here. In addition to its comfortable place, the taste of the sotonya was timeless, it still feels the same from the new era of standing until it has a name like today. When the weekend arrives, many visitors from outside the city are deliberately stopping to Soto Jln. Banks. For the matter of price is more expensive, can get 2 bowls if in his village.
Lilis parked the motor he was driving according to the direction of the parking attendant. Then they both entered the stall to find the whereabouts of Mr. Grace.
"Ajeng" was heard calling his name and a wave of hands from his mother, who was sitting not far from where he stood.
Ajeng approached, throwing a smile at everyone sitting at the table. But his eyes were in disbelief.
"Mas Ren? " he said as he walked face to face, forgetting the whereabouts of Lilis beside him.
"Haii Jeng, "Reno stood up to welcome Ajeng.
"Whoa dream did you meet last night the god of help" he said with a smile.
"Old old age? " ask everyone. Ajeng greeted his Mother with solemnity, followed by Lilis, with the same thing.
"Lumayan, the same father Mama met nak Reno at the Bank, continued to be invited to stop by here. Yes, I will gladly not refuse" Mr. Grace laughed.
"Mas Reno is one of the people who will come here, yes surely you will not refuse. This legendary soto Mama same father when young first, he said here their love adrift."
Ajeng spoke with sparkling eyes. "Until now have 2 daughters yes Ma Pah" he said.
"When to the city definitely stop by here. Never absent" Ajeng pulled a chair for him to sit on.
While the others just smiled hearing his lithe story.
"Heh, here sit here" Ajeng suddenly raised the volume of his voice, disperse the daydream of Lilis who had been dumbstruck without expression.
"C.e.. Yes, Lilis stamped." He who had stood up earlier admiring Reno's good looks was aghast at Ajeng's voice.
He patted the bench next to him. And without waiting for her ordered times, Lilis immediately sat down.
"Yes, Mas Ren knows this Lilis my friend, Lis this is Mas Reno. Brother met my gedeku hahahha" Ajeng laughed considering his words a few months ago during his first meeting with Reno.
His laughter made everyone look at him. No exception Reno, he who is increasingly fascinated with women who have been harassing his mind for several months, nothing, he was only worried about Ajeng's condition after the incident that night. And when he saw Ajeng laughter that was so light and loose, he believed that Ajeng was in better condition.
"Eh, women are laughing" his mother rebuked.
"eeh" Ajeng immediately closed his mouth, "Sorry" he said while blushing.
And that's where it all started. Their closeness starts from eating soto together, starting to exchange mobile numbers, telling stories about the campus he is, about the majors that Ajeng took and stories about their respective activities.
Until finally continue to share the news, mutual friends and accompany each other, ask for help and walk with Ajeng and Reno friends. In fact, not infrequently they walk together just to do crazy things together to remove fatigue from the activities that have been passed.
Until, it was time for Reno to open a secret that he had always kept himself. The beginning makes everything complicated. Complicated for both of them.
