This afternoon, the neighborhood around Stevani's contract seemed deserted. Because it is time for people to work. A man is walking a mother. They walked towards the contract which was in the right row, facing the left. The front room.
“Nah mas Hendra, this is his room” said the mothers.
The one called Hendra went into this three-room rented room. He spread his gaze across the room, nodding.
“The name of the contract, certainly kosongan, mas” said the mothers, responding to the views of Hendra, which spread everywhere.
“Pastinyalah, bu” sahut Hendra.
“I just mastiin aja, no one leaked” he continued.
“Dijamin anti-leak, mas. If you ever find out something is leaking, just say it to mom! We must immediately fix” said the mothers.
“Good, mom. I take” said Hendra. He opened his wallet and took out some money for the payment.
“Aalhamdulillah's. Yes already, this is the key mas” replied the mothers. apparently he owns the contract.
“When to move?” ask the rented mother.
“Move? Kaya already married, bu” sahut Hendra while chuckling.
“My stuff is just a little, ma'am. Just the same mattress closet doang, the same most” laptop he continued.
“Oh, still single, to? Pantesan. He he”
“Iya, ma'am. still single I”
“Ya. I lived first, yes. When parking, arrange for other neighbors. Don't take jaan motor ngalangin!”
“Oh. Yes, mom. Abis this, I want to know the neighbors of Kontrakan”
“OK. Mom stay, huh?” pamit mother contract.
“Please, bu” replied Hendra.
After the departure of the owner of the contract, Hendra immediately took his bus mattress from the car. Some rented neighbors who were scheduled to enter the night, came to greet him.
While diving drinking water, Hendra took advantage of the moment to introduce himself.
He did not expect, it turned out that the neighbor next to his contract was a light-handed person. Unasked, he helped bring down her luggage.
Hendra felt bad to refuse, even though there was only a plastic cupboard that he had dismantled, and a few stels of his clothes, were left. Practically, in just one transport, finished the loading and unloading event.
Hendra took the initiative to buy cold drinks and snacks for his neighbors. All for the media to extract information about Stevani. Seeing Hendra return with plenty of snacks, practically his neighbor greeted him with delight. They gathered as if celebrating the arrival of their new neighbors.
“Kalo may know, that's the room there, why is there a police line, sir?” asked Hendra, on the sidelines of their conversation.
“Oh, sealed equal police. Again there is investigation” replied his neighbor.
“Loh, why, mas Yusuf?” ask Hendra.
“I don't know the original story” Yusuf replied.
“But horrified, the Stevani was again arrested by the police. He was accused of being the brain of the bulldozing of mixed-sari” artists, he continued.
“Artist?”
“Yes, Adelia Fitri” replied the other neighbor.
“His current boyfriend, used to be the goons of this city” he continued.
“Eem. Bentar mas Burhan's. Adelia Fitri, instead of being scrapped, huh?”
“It used to be so. He's a biker gang scuttle. He fell, fainted. Sampe forgot memory” replied Burhan.
“Certainly, how can you stray into the occupants of the contract?” ask Hendra.
“Oh, that chick, that motorcycle gang member huh, mas?” hendras continued guessing.
“No, lah. He's an office guy. Naek motor aja nyusruk, how do you want to be a member of a motorcycle gang?” answer Yusuf.
“Iya. Hi hi hi hi hi. His wife was Yusuf and raged. Liat mas Yusuf ngajarin si Vani naek motor. Where's jatoh, again. Decor. Ha ha” sahut Burhan.
“Wah, rame looks like. Ha ha ha ha” comments Hendra.
“Yes, so deh” replied Yusuf.
“But that was just too. Again dizzy, he” continued Yusuf.
“Emang if no longer dizzy, given permission, so?” ask Hendra.
“Yes not really. I mean, if it's just jealousy doang anyway, not so much. At least I'm not given rations. Ha ha ha”
“Because of you, we are talking to him. We all claim that Vani is royal. If abis from outside the city, must bring his own car. we all part, tahu” continued Yusuf.
“Bener tuh. If old date, like to be saviour” timpal Burhan.
“Kirain I myself who likes debt with him. You either? Ha ha ha ha ha”
“Iya, mas” replied Burhan. They laugh together.
“Truly sincere what does it want?” ask Hendra fishing.
“Two. Ha ha ha ha” Burhan replied with a laugh.
“Means?” ask Hendra.
“Yes, let me tell Yusuf nyuciin his car, buyin eat, what are all macems. He is spoiled. If you have met the mattress, the luggage of mager. There must be something told with him” replied Burhan.
“Yes no papa. Ask for money too. Good for buying cigarettes” Yusuf comments.
“Oh. If you are with your neighbors who are familiar, when he became a criminal brain?” ask Hendra to fish again.
“Cia cia. Just heard the story sympathy. Especially if you look at the person. Hem, smitten address, this” god Burhan.
“Ha ha ha” he and Yusuf laughed seeing Hendra misbehaving.
“Iya. His strength also turned out. There used to be a guy as brave as a sampeyan, pounded Vani, annoying him” added Burhan.
“Masa?” asked Hendra not to believe it.
“Totally. Our people see for themselves. Yes here, again hanging out gini”
“Why sampe tonjok-tonjokan?”
“Ngot satisfied times. Ha ha ha ha” Burhan replied.
“Hem. If you have spoken Vani, rich has no end”
One commented while walking closer to them. She's a girl, coming with a tray. On it were several bowls and glasses.
“Loh, mbak Ning, who ordered soto?’ ask Yusuf.
“This, its mas. Neighbor baru” replied the woman.
“Iya, mass. I am the pesen” replied Hendra.
“Much very, mas? Who wants to eat the rest?” ask Burhan.
“Ya mother minister dong” replied Hendra.
“Wah, really? Alhamdulillahot. Rejeki emang will not be exchanged” comments Burhan.
The woman called mbak Ning served the bowls of soto rice to the three men in front of her. Also the glasses contain orange ice.
“Kalo affairs tonjok-tonjokan that, emang because of his guy who geblek” chirps mbak Ning.
“How is it, mbak?” ask Hendra.
“Yes abisnya, affairs so use recorded everything. Good thing to be caught with Vaninya. If you do not, and until the spread, it increases the reputation he” replied mbak Ning.
“Now has also reached, mbak” suhut Burhan.
“Iya. Because next door tuh, three one” comments mbak Ning.
“Whose next door is it, mbak?” ask Hendra.
“Police, still young” replied mbak Ning.
“Ganteng anyway, but belagu. Sok sell mahal” mbak Ning.
“Kok she can drag Vani to her case Adelia?” ask Hendra again.
“Gini, shoot the hell with him, it's because of his tapping tool he” replied mbak Ning.
“Tap tools?” ask Yusuf.
“Iya. Some say the device is rich in stethoscopes, but there are batteries. Rich in mushola amps, there is a daughter also”
“Oh. Research tools?” ask Hendra.
“No idea deh” answer mbak Ning.
“Continuously?” asked Burhan curiously.
“Ya. He said the cop's girl was playing with the stethoscope again. He stuck it up, on the left wall, which shared the same Vani. well, he was horrified tuh, Vani again so same guy.”
“Wow” comments Hendra.
“Well. Abis is that, he said, Vani is the same guy chatting with Adel and Adel”
“Lah, so, yes?” comment Burhan.
“Well, he said, they talked about the restriction. Same injections gitu”
“I mean Ning, Adelia forgot her memory not because of the fall, but because of the injection?” ask Yusuf.
“Ho oh's. Embak dengernya that, sih” replied mbak Ning.
“Secondage Adelia is the same girl that cop?” ask Hendra.
“Cowoknya Adelia, her brother she” replied mbak Ning.
“Oh” comments Hendra short.
“Hem. Police, title doang. Same with the geblek. Going quiet, invite his girlfriend to rent” comments Burhan.
“Eh, yes. Bener too. No one is looking?” ask Hendra.
“Ada” replied Yusuf.
He smiled amusedly as he passed into his contract. Hendra scrunched his forehead. He was still second-guessing the meaning of the answer with that amused smile earlier.
Seeing Burhan eating with an amused smile as well, Hendra finally understood. It's just paradox. He also smiled while nodding. Seeing Hendra smile meaningfully, Ms. Ning also smiled. He wrote something on a piece of paper.
“Sorry, mom. It's nota” said mbak Ning, breaking the silence.
“Oh, yes. it's mbak” replied Hendra.
He handed over a piece of red money to mbak Ning. He also received a note presented to him.
“Wah, the change is not brought, mas. It's in warung” said mbak Ning.
“Mild. Just go, mbak. I also did not cook, Kok” replied Hendra diplomatically.
“Oh. Okay, thanks mas”
“Sama-sama”
Ma'am Ningpun went to return to his stall. Somewhat surprised Hendra, found a row of numbers below the nominal total order. And that's not a sum, but a line of cell phone numbers. He cantongi the paper, then continued to eat it with Burhan and Yusuf, who had rejoined.
