Later that night, which means a second night for Matari, after dinner at a restaurant near the hotel, Matari returns to her room with Dian. Matari was lucky enough to have Dian beside her. Although he did not talk much, at least Matari felt the same fate as the little girl. Take a vacation with another family. Matters
what he just realized, it turns out hitchhiking a vacation, even with a hotel as good as anything, does not make it too comfortable.
In fact, Aunt Indira and Om Baskara do not interfere too much with the affairs of the children who come with them. They really enjoy the holidays in their own way. Children who are already considered bigger and can be responsible, are not at all too regulated. It is certainly different from the way Eyang Putri or Matari's father at home. If they were here, there would definitely be unwritten rules to be kept.
Matari did a lot of things together. Like a walk by the beach, eating at a restaurant, eating breakfast, lunch and night are always together. In fact, that night, Aunt Indira and Om Baskara invited them to eat at another restaurant outside the hotel to change the atmosphere. The meal was quite familiar and had a lot of laughter. Because Mr. Raden and Kang Udin are a lot of funny to enliven the atmosphere.
However, for some reason, Matari wanted to hurry home. The sound of the waves crashing at night in the distance, making the dining atmosphere feel more familiar and fun. And the most surprising thing was, he was eager to hear Davi's voice. Chat with him just to discuss things that are not important or just
talk about music and books. Two things that Davi is trying to like as well.
After dinner, Matari did not join Iko, Raline and Kamal on the beach. He decided to go back to the room because he wanted a BAB. Apparently, Dian's coming. When finished the CHAPTER, Matari was reluctant to go back down to catch up with them. She stays in her room with Dian.
“Tok... tok.... tok...” heard the sound of the door being knocked several times.
Matari peeked out of the door. Mr. Raden's shadow looks next to Kang Udin's.
“Eh, night, Mba. I'm the same Udin going to the shop, buying cigarettes. Can I drop Dian for a minute?” ask Mr. Raden politely.
Matari nodded while letting her in. “Dian, there is your Father!”
Dian was as fast as lightning approached his Father. Hugged for a moment and said carefully.
“Pak, if for example Dian want to sleep here yes papa, anyway. Later I will be notified to the Father's room by phone yes,” said Matari. “Tung-it nemenin I.”
“Ohhh. Okay, Mba. Maybe I'm a little long, because you guys want to smoke too. If in a hotel room does not feel good with Mom and Dad,” said Mr. Raden.
“Mba Matari tea together?” kang Udin asked as he realized Matari's quiet room, there was no one else.
“Iya. The others are on the beach. I was back here. The intention is for a while but Males wants to go there. I'm a gini, Kang!” answer Matari.
“Gelo yes, Sir. It's not cold or go to the beach at this hour. Windna strong tea pisaaan!” exclaimed Kang Udin with his Sundanese accent. “Kaya semalem atuh, do not know how many hours, people we invite Dian on no
look at both.”
“Udahlah, Din. It's none of our business to know. Yes, yes, Mba. Let's go down first. Excuse um. Dian, same with Matari. Don't bother!” timpal Mr. Raden, excuse me politely.
Matari then closed the door.
“What time did you get picked up by Father?” tanya Matari while taking a drink and some snacks provided by Aunt Indira in the closet.
“Ndon't know, Brother. At 1 o'clock 2an that,” said Dian while sitting back watching tv.
“Oh. Didn't see Iko's sister Raline?” ask Matari curiously.
Dian shakes. “Bapak, Kang Udin and Kamal together behind it. Kamal went straight to the room, slept. But Dian took a look at Kamal Kak to take a blanket for sister. Trus we got out. Just met Raline
same Sister Iko again, breakfast time.”
Matari nodded in understanding. Then sitting next to Dian invited her to enjoy a snack together.
***
The next morning, after dawn, Matari noticed Dian who was still asleep beside her while thinking. Last night, at about 11, Mr. Raden and Kang Udin had come, but because Dian was asleep, Matari could not bear to wake him and let Dian sleep in his room. If Raline came, she intended to give up and sleep on the sofa. Matari knew, Raline would not want to sleep on the sofa or give up for the sake of others. Sleep one
the room with Matari alone might Raline feel forced. Two nights in this room and Raline never slept next to him. I don't know where he slept.
This morning, Raline did not look at all. Only Kamal suddenly came to his room and greeted him in his usual friendly manner a few minutes later. As Matari opened the door, Kamal seemed to stagger in front of her while yawning several times.
Matari was not surprised. He did see a bottle of liquor in a kamal bag some time ago. So seeing Kamal's situation like that, Matari knew, last night, Kamal most likely had drunk a bottle of liquor that he brought himself.
Passing through Matari, the smell of alcohol on Kamal's body burst out. Matari never drank it. However, the smell was the same as the smell of the wound healing alcohol, only it was louder and mixed with the scent of grapes. That kind.
“Ma-tariiiiii, ka-mar man-di lo ko-song no?” ask Kamal with a stammering arrangement.
“empty. Just, Dian's still asleep. Don't be noisy!” matari half whispered.
“Te-nang, I ka-lo ma-bok not re-see…. Cu-ma is not sleepy na-han!” yelled Kamal while he went into the bathroom.
Matari looked towards Dian who was already awake. Kamal's voice was indeed quite excited, making people who heard it would definitely be disturbed.
“Sorry, did you wake up? Dian want to be escorted to the room Mr?” ask Matari.
Dian nodded while yawning. Matari then took her. The door of his room was left open, because the distance of his room and Pak Raden's room was only 1 room, which was the room belonging to Iko and Kamal. Matari slowly knocked on Mr. Raden's room.
“Wah, sorry Mba! So bother nganterin,” greet Mr. Raden after opening the door. “Dian want bobo again or want to shower?”
“You're bobo back again, sir. Can?” sahut Dian lirih's.
Mr. Raden nodded, then took Dian in and guided him to the bed. From the direction of the bathroom, Kang Udin came out while wearing a towel on his wet head. He grimaced while greeting Matari.
“Ke Mba Matari room was rich yes, Mba? Understandably wake-up want to pee, the door is still on the floor. Long time again!” replied Mr. Raden.
“Lho, are they still not awake? How to Get to Mba Matari?” ask Kang Udin.
Mr. Raden cleared his throat, shrugging his shoulders as he glanced at Matari. Kang Udin then nodded in understanding. Matari knew they were talking about things she might not want to know or discuss. Finally Matari said goodbye and went back to her room.
In the room, Kamal was making warm tea. He looked fresher than he had come.
“Thank yaaa, without lo I can wet!” exclaim Kamal.
“Luck aja...,” sahut Matari short.
“Big two lovebirds. This clock is not awake.”
Matari was silent for a moment, knowing who he meant. But said nothing, then stepped onto the balcony of his room. Before long, Kamal followed behind him.
“Lo have met Aunt Om not?” ask Kamal then.
Matari.
“Hopefully yes already departed jogging.”
Matari just smiled in response to the words.
“Gue here first, no papa? Dian has returned to his Father?”
Matari. But actually, she wanted to take a shower. It's just uncomfortable if Kamal is still in his room like this. After all, Kamal was the opposite sex. Matari was not comfortable with that.
“Semalem I mabok really bad. Fortunately there was Mr. Raden with Kang Udin. Don't know if there are no them, I can sleep on the beach time yah?”
Unable to hold back her curiosity anymore, Matari finally asked. “You all mabok?”
“Gue doang anyway. Raline and Iko had a drink, but not much. Abis that they unplug first.”
Matari then glued. Then where are they?
“Lo must be surprised huh?”
“Attracted? Why?”
“Gue equals Iko drinking!”
Matari took a breath. “Ngak too anyway. Not really surprised either. I am still Junior High. But instead, you are the same Iko belom 17 years?”
“Iko. I am not hahaha. Raline is too. But actually rich has nothing to do with age, Ri! Among us, we are ordinary. Only sometimes like keki only if rich gini, must be clear with rich children lo. Especially when I see, you're a good boy. Macem-macem. So semalem Iko has been warning me not to say the same lo.”
“Trus why are you talking to me?”
“EH YES? Damnit damnit! Still mabok a little time yes I?”
Matari did not answer. Look at the balcony of the next room that is still tightly closed.
“So they are now where?”
“In the next room! Kaya you do not know if people are dating how?”
Matari. He knew what Kamal meant. Not because of Iko's way of dating. But because of him
suddenly I remembered that Iko used to forbid him to do free sex because it was not yet the time. But why Iko herself who even did it at the age of even just 3 years adrift above Matari? Why is it that other people have difficulty advising others to be better, but they themselves cannot live it?
Sentence after sentence thrown by Mr. Raden and Kang Udin previously remembered in Matari's head, even the implied sentence of Kamal was enough to make Matari aware and know, The Iko he had known all along might not really be fully known to him.
“Kok diem? Shocked, are you? Dah ordinary kaliii…. Last night too. That's why I'm sleeping on the couch.”
Matari then recalled the previous dawn incident when she was about to enter this room and the door could not be opened. Matari even thought because she was sleepy and inserted an access card was not appropriate. If he had known last night only alone with Kamal, maybe Matari would have chosen to sleep in
hotel lobby. He did not fully believe in Kamal.
For some reason, Matari felt, she was completely alone in the family entourage. Completely alone and marginalized.
“Casual. You're safe with me. I'm not the one who understands that. Although as Iko said, I do not want to mabok. But as much as possible I don't take advantage of women. If I want to, I can. But I don't. For that kind of thing, I have a principle. Suerrr. Ask Mr. Raden and Kang Udin. If I want, we are both rich, I can seduce you to fulfill my lust. But, I also know myself, a paid vacation. If you have mah bebaassss!”
Matari looked at Kamal who seemed to be able to read the thoughts that were in his head.
“Now, because of my bact, you already know about this. Please don't say anything with Auntie Om ya. We should thank them for the holidays. If you know, it could be dangerous. You know, Iko is now the only child for them. There must be a lot of hope that is charged with Iko. Relax, they play it safe. Surely later before Om and Aunt jogging*, they have acted as if nothing happened.”
As Kamal said that, Matari's disappointment in Iko grew even more.
