The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

breakfast porridge

Budi pensive on the corner stand. The few people who were in front of him were as if invisible to him. His eyes were fixed on his phone screen, but his life seemed to be somewhere else. The one who was about to greet him, undoes his intentions. Though wondering, they seem to be able to understand. At least that's what they thought. Though Budi is not thinking about this stand. I'm not thinking about any other work.

“Hei. You why?”

A woman shakes her daydream. Be surprised. He did not answer immediately. It took him a few seconds to regain consciousness of the surroundings. Make the one who reprimands him scrunch his forehead.

“What's up, anyway? reprimanded sir Paul?” ask the woman again.

“Oh. Eeem, no. Not” replied Budi still stuttered.

“Erika?”

“Bukan”

“Don't, don't mugkin. He must have made you wik wik. Yeah, right?” ask the woman.

“Aaan, anyway?” refuse Budi.

“Udah deh, ngaku aja! sampe bengong, gitu” cecar the woman while smiling amusedly.

“Not, Hilda. Don't have your pusher, do you? speaking of jidat” replied Budi.

“Ha ha ha” Hilda laughs off.

“Abisnya, you bengong sampe kaya gitu” continued Hilda.

“The girl in the world that I deserve is just her? I also have kali”

“Ha ha ha ha”

Hilda laughed again. While Budi sighed fast, but heavy. Not that she didn't know, but Hilda acted like she didn't.

“Eh Bud's. The waste that you hit first, no?” ask Hilda.

“Iya. Wh why? He's sick?” reply Budi.

“Neg. Yesterday I met with Saga. She nanyain kau”

“Terus?”

“He said, you are a match with Erika” replied Hilda.

Budi was stunned, his forehead shriveled. For a few moments, they looked into each other's eyes.

“Hempf. Ha ha ha ha ha ha”

He laughed and laughed loosely. Make it too funny. The laughter made Hilda pout.

“Know from where, non?” ask Budi.

But Hilda who did not like to be laughed at, did not immediately reply. He put on a sewot face. But I laughed again.

“Only did you forget what, just what did that cesspool say?” hilda said a few moments later.

“Which one?”

“That you were told to wash your mother's feet, keep drinking that laundry water”

“Inget. I was lakin, kok”

“What did the doctor say, while you were in the hospital?”

“What does hilda have to do?”

“Jawab first!”

Be silent for a moment. He tried to remember the days in the hospital.

“Kalo the doctor anyway, didn't say anything. But if the princess said, I barely survived. Because the bullet has almost penetrated my heart” replied Budi later.

“Terus?”

“Kalo from mom, doctor said it, my heart is rich kevlar. The bullet is not perforated. Just aja”

“Nah, tuh. Hitchhike, right? Because you confessed what was suggested by the waste, your heart became impenetrable bullet”

“Ha ha ha ha. There is only, you, Da” comments Budi.

“Kok any-anya?”

“My work has been done since I was not born. If it's not time for me to die yet, it's easy for Guti Alloh to digeletin me. Just say, kun! No need to use air”

“Not the water, Bud. But your mother's prayer” kilah Hilda. Budi gasp.

“And the waste is rich already can read what will happen, so. What rich, huh? share of guardians may” continued Hilda. Budi is still silent. He admitted in his heart that he felt it too.

“But whose name is destiny, it can still change. Especially soulmates. That is the prerogative Gusti Alloh” replied Budi.

“Haih, it's hard to talk to someone with knowledge. The point is, deh. It's up to you to believe what enggak” said Hilda gave up.

“Ha ha ha ha” Budi laughed to see his partner was resigned.

“Ya, many visitors. Don't bengong doang! How many prospective buyers fled, you pekanin” said Hilda reminded.

“Astaghfirullohal’adzim. How many people?”

“I'm counting anyway, three”

“Ya. No, someone wants to talk to you. Don't be the fourth!” answer Hilda.

“Oke” says Budi as it passes.

*Hopefully this is just my jealousy. I hope it's just because of time. Part of it anyway, if the six o'clock agreement. Hopefully this is just because Mr. Fajar does not pantes for a girl to meet a guy this early. Not because there's a Luki there. O God, I take refuge in You from the jealousy and suspicion that I now think*.

***

At a simple stall, on the side of the road, Luki was enjoying the chicken porridge that was sitting in front of her. Quite crowded this morning, the menu faced by each visitor is also diverse. Not only chicken porridge, there is nasi uduk and nasi kuning as well.

“Hei. How come bengong? Don't like porridge? Want to change?” reprimand Luki.

“Oh, no. Not” replied Adel floating.

“Still breakfast, Del. Want me anther? I waited in the parking lot aj” Luki bargained, as if I could read Adel's mind.

“Oh, no need, mas. Adel told you, just now. I answered too, not papa”

“Duh, so not good, I. Because I maen this early, Adelnya so hass”<TAG1>

“Kok said that, mas? No, lah. Not so, kali” replied Adel.

Luki's speechless. He looked at Adel's face, fixed. Getting a gaze that contains a lot of meaning, Adel became misbehaved. He shifted the atmosphere by scooping the porridge before him.

“Still yes, Del. You want to nemenin me breakfast” said Luki a moment later. Adel raised his face that had been bowed.

“Thank you Adel, mas. If Mas Luki is not maen, maybe we have become vagabond”

“Kok that, by the way?”

“Truly, right?”

“I'm just one of many intermediaries. Coincidentally, I was chosen” said Luki. Adel was stunned to hear that answer. The humble answer.

“Adel asks for time yes, mas? Adel will return the money Luki. But nyicil. And do not know until how long can be paid off” pinta Adel. Luki chuckles.

“Whose request is also behind, Del?” ask Luki.

“Lah. It is also not required to return, it is. His name is also indebted” replied Adel.

“Yes do not need to be in debt!”

“What? Mas, it's all money you know, not daun” Adel said in a soft tone.

“Iya. I like it, kok” replied Luki.

Adel gasp. He looked into Luki's eyes. It was as if he could read Luki's heart from the look in her eyes. Instead of not knowing, Luki understood what Adel thought of her.

“Despite indeed I like Adel, I like the same kok that earlier. No need to factor Adel into consideration! Think of it that never happened!” continued Luki.

“It can't be that, mas. You nganggep this Adel, nursing?” adel with a face that does not like. Luki. He was confused by Adel's answer.

“Kalo cuman a million-two million, okelah. Adel Angep is proof of the struggle of a man. But that big thing, sorry. Adel can't accept it. Adel will be keel. Adel strong nyicil, kok” continued Adel. They looked at me again. A few moments passed without a sound.

“Hempf. Pantes, “ comments Luki hanging. His expression as it chuckled caused a question mark for Adel.

“You are loved by many. You are other than the others, Del” continued Luki.

Adel did not answer. He was still guessing the direction of the sentence Luki had just spoken. Is it a compliment, or an innuendo.

“You other girl, even the joy I said so. Proud even. Wanted to go there. But Adel, he was offended. That's a value I've never seen in another girl, “ continued Luki, but hangs again. Adel scrunched his forehead.

“Yang ever deket same I” continued Luki closed her sentence.

Adel sipped his warm tea. But from the look of his eyes, it appears that his mind is watching me somewhere.

“Sorry, mom. Adel is rarely able to get help. Especially in the form of money. Always a keinget when there was someone who gave sembako help. But give it to him while being videoed. Especially the same neighbors. Malunya mas, still feel until now” said Adel later.

“Gosh. Sorry, del. I didn't mean to, “

“Iya, mass. Adel tofu” cut Adel.

“Yes, let's take it, yuk! Still hunted for Adel nganter breakfast to expo” stand invite Luki.

“No need, mas” replied Adel with a smile.

“Adel already intentionin make nemenin mas Luki”

“Don't do that, dong! I don't want Adel to be forced. Adel has the right to not if it is not in line with the order of mr”

“But ridho Alloh, depends on the same old man ridho, mas” said Adel. Luki.

“Terus?”

“Adel sure, Alloh will help Adel, as long as Adel obeys the same parents” replied Adel. Luki mangosteen megeri.

“Just the same mas Luki, Adel has a lot of previlage” said Adel again. Luki was confused.

“Mau slap, want nonjok, want to kick, there will be no kualatnya” continued Adel while laughing. Luki was even more confused.

“So, don't even think of nakalin Adel! Auto gaping. Ha ha ha” continued Adel ended his sentence.

He laughed while raising his right palm. Luki who was shocked suddenly made Adel's laughter even louder.
