When he arrived home, the Princess had not been seen everywhere. According to information from Mbok Kalis, Eyang Putri went with his party to visit another neighbor in RSCM who was being treated for stomach pain.
Aunt Dina and Sandra are visiting and planning to stay at their house at the same time clean. Kak Bulan has not returned home, as usual there are exercises paskibraka at school. Father had not yet seen his presence, usually after magrib arrived.
As Matari was chatting with Mbok Kalis who was watering plants in front of the house, Iko suddenly passed by. He stopped his bike and was still wearing his High School uniform.
“Halo, Ri, Mbok Kalisss…. Long time no see..” saya Iko.
Mbok Kalis smiled without answering anything. Matari just threw a thin smile reluctantly.
Unasked, Iko put her bike in the yard and sat down next to Matari.
“For a long time, Ri. Friday is still a Boy Scout, right? I never saw you again. I wanted to wait, but you never seemed to be in the security post. I waited 10 minutes at the stop, and I kept coming back. ” Said Iko start a chat.
“Iya, Scouts are disbanded. Trus next week there, only I came home later, Ko.” Sahut Matari later.
“Kangen nih chat with lo. How's it? Everything is healthy, right?”
“Alhamdulillah.”
“Sorry Mas Iko, what would you like to drink?” mbok Kalis asked as he rolled up the water hose and put it back in place.
“Air white only, Mbok. Haus nih abis.”
Mbok Kalis nodded and went inside the house. Matari stared at Iko's seemingly new bike.
“New bike huh?” ask Matari.
“Iya. The old one sold, there are nawar.” Iko Sahut. “Not good? Wanna try? It can set the speed loh.”
“Hehehe, no need, Ko. Altitude for me kaya.”
“Kagaklah, lo lo aja height already want to mengejer me. Can, can, come here deh.”
Because Iko was a bit pushy while pulling Matari's hand, accidentally their faces faced so close. Making Matari clumsy, Iko too.
“Sorry, sorry.” Iko took a step back, Matari reflexively did the same.
“No, no papa.” Sahut Matari later.
Mbok Kalis came out carrying a glass of cold water. Iko immediately drank it up, until it ran out,
“Gile, the glass is leaking huh Mbok?” matari Goda on Mbok Kalis.
Iko laughs. “Haus is so me. Very hot earlier.”
“Street with Raline?” ask Matari to Iko.
“No idea, tonight maybe? Lo alone?”
“Neasily also.”
“Not know? Do you have a girlfriend, meaning? Which one is which?”
“Not, Ko. No, I mean, I don't know night out or not the same bokap.”
“Yes elaaah, ngeles aja lo kaya bajaj. So belom is there, Ri?”
“Belom.”
“Why?”
Matari smiles. “Yes no papa.”
Matari's floating answer, interpreted differently by Iko.
“Wah, adek I might be flashing again have a girlfriend. If there is, then know me. I need screening not macarin lo.”
“Yeeee, what the hell?”
Then Iko came home. Hearing about Raline and the others, Matari was no longer as hurt as before. At that moment, Matari realized, maybe her feelings for Iko had gone out of nowhere. That fast. Yeah, that fast.
***
After Magrib, his house was still deserted. None of it looked like his nose. Even his father had not heard the sound of his motorbike entering the yard. The phone rang, Matari picked it up quickly. It seemed like he realized that he was a little bit waiting for that phone on his current Sunday night. Rather than thinking of Iko who already had another girl.
“Halo..”
“Hello, Ri. What more?” davian's voice sounded.
“Again sit, next to the phone table.”
“Udah know. Haha. You're not a weekly night?”
“Never. Hehehe.”
“You're a home child huh?”
“Maybe yaaa.. I like it if you have to be at home. Sleeping, watching movies on tv or watching cartoons. As simple as that.”
“When can I go there?”
“Ngapain?”
“Main aja.”
“Iyaaa, if I am at home yes.”
“Eh, Ri, your voice is good. Sing dong.”
“Iya. I want to hear again. Only this time I'm your listener.”
“Too, ah.”
“And I didn't see. Let's just say I don't exist.”
“Thy am people home. Thought I was crazy calling time while singing.”
“Hahaha, yes also.”
But then Matari realized her house was deserted.
“Mau denger?”
“What?”
“If I had wings.. Fly, fly me.. What's it for here…? If you could feel.. Cruel, cruel world..No more justice... What am I here for.”.
“Udah, already Ri, do not use reff...”
“Hahhaa, fortunately not yet bablas..”.
“If until ref, until finished, I can..”.
Davi fell silent.
“Woi, can what?”
“Can't sleep all night. Keinget your voice continue.”
“Yeah, dreadlocks.”
Even so Matari felt her cheeks heat up and redden.
“You've eaten?”
“Not yet. The house is still empty. Waiting for rame kali.”
“Emang on where to?”
“Ndon't know. Eyang went with the arrisan. My cousin, Sandra, who was dead at the time, had her mother go to her house for a while. My brother is still practicing pascibra at his rich school.”
“Your brother paskibra?”
“Iya.”
“Wah, super cool. Eh but your family is tall huh?”
“Yes, but my sister is taller. Bokap high anyway, so I am my sister descending her genes from him. So...”
“Iya, we are the same height.”
“Enth shave?”
“And how many times have you walked next to me, Ri. I'm a prank on mercatin.”
“Kalo lo, how many children?”
“I'm the second child. I still have an older brother, 1st grade High School. Girls.”
“Oh, so. But the power is deserted too, your house, Dav? No noise whatsoever.”
“Not really, I'm in the room. My sister's on a Sunday night. If Mami is with Papi again to church, there is worship.”
When Davi said the church. Matari momentarily realizes, although finally suppose, Matari can like Davi, but is it possible? They are different religions.
“Matari, have you ever dated?”
Davi's next question, made Matari increasingly silent.
“If lo?”
“SD time ever, but just jerk.”
Matari laughs. “Gue SD just thought of colorful scented letter paper, Dav. Continue to tukeran sama. Or if you don't watch cartoons on tv.”
“Hahahaha, I also watched SD time cartoons. It was only at that time that I was being lined up, because I felt sorry for it. Only 2 weeks kok.”
“I'm supertimes yes, Dav. I have never known about love from small, hahaha.”
“Ngak, coke. I even like the same one that I've got your rich kuper. Home child, I have no problem either. In fact, I think, you don't have to go out a lot, let's not have a lot of fancies. Let me just.”
Matari laughed, outraged. While covering his heart that was pounding irregularly. I feel like screaming. Mix it up and somehow there's a little bit of pleasure. But he realized, that moment was impossible. He's still not sure what he'll expect with Davi. There's a lot he can't say. There was a lot of fear that made him doubt. Religion is one of the many considerations. But there are many more.
“Assalamualaikum..” Father Matari enters, while greeting.
“Waalaikumsalam I'm legit. “Bent a minute, Dav. Bokap I'm coming.”
“Besok lo at home is not it? Ask Davi.
“At home anyway kaya. Most seperation early in the morning.”
“Only? What's the same curly?”
“Hahaha. Alone, Dav. Yes, see you.”
Matari hung up the phone quickly. Then walked over to his father to shake his hand as usual.
