The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

ask gowes make confused

This morning, the front yard got wet after a night of rain flushed almost nonstop. The leaves of the cheery tree fell in the strong wind. Some dry twigs fall because they are broken.

Although dawn had just passed, and the sky was still dim, but Budi could no longer resist sweeping the yard. He was uncomfortable when he saw his front yard dirty. Madam Ratih until the head bobble saw her son was already clean this early.

“Mas, phone”

The voice of the Princess echoed in the morning silence. He walked half-run to his brother.

“Makasih” replied Budi.

He received the cell phone his sister had brought. After that, the princess went back into the house.

“Assalamu’alaikum, ta” greet Budi.

“Wa’alaikum greetings, bram. Praying already?" answer Adel

“Udah. Tata?”

“Alhamdulillah udah.”

“Alhamdulillah”

“Oh yes, bram. Last night abram rain, no?” ask Adel. It sounds like he feels guilty.

“Little. I've deket home kok” replied Budi as is.

“Alhamdulillah, no papa. Cuman mules doang, dikit” continued Budi.

“Entar, earlier. If you get wind, nausea, bram. Same bloated. If you mules, different business. It mules because of coffee, what because,”

“Pubitan, lah” says Budi.

“Times anyway, still feels, bram?"

“No, anyway. Godain tata doang”

“He, abram. Make tata was-was aja”

*Srek srek vr*

As they fell silent, the sound of Budi's broomstick was heard very clearly from across there. Makes Adel wonder.

“What's that sound, bram?” ask Adel.

“Sapu” reply Budi briefly.

“Oh, abram again nyapu? Morning very, bram? Want a guest?”

“Neg. Totally filthy. Semalem wind is very tight, leaves in the fall. Want to make a coffee so uncomfortable”

“MasyaAlloh's. This ideal husband candidate, sih” Adel comments.

“Amiiin”

“Eh, bram. There was an event this morning, right?”

“Not yet, anyway. if the week, the mother's stall in the Princess. There is no side job either. Why, ta?”

“Gowes, yuk!” take Adel.

“Gowes?”ask Budi to clarify.

“Emm, must be this morning, yes?” continue Budi.

“Yes, tomorrow will be abram work” replied Adel.

“Emm”

He seemed to think for a moment. He doesn't have a bicycle. There was also a bicycle from his childhood. It is also not immediately wearable.

“Why, bram?”

“No papa, abram needs time, make the bike. Her ashes were not used for a long time. Must be nyari first, front wheel”

“Well, the front wheel is, bram? How can?”

“Know, sir. If angry like weird aja.all front wheels are pumped. Can you be confused, if you want make?”

“Ya abis, naughty not about, sih” Adel comments while laughing.

“Ha ha ha”

“Jam seven, waiting system on the dock, ya”

“Mana can? At seven, the bike shop is not open” yet

“Kan can still be digowes. Rear wheel still there”

“Ya continues? That standing, until pacitan?”

“Ha ha” Adel laughs off hearing Budi's question.

“Just seven o'clock, bram. Don't be late! Assalamu’alaikum”

*TUUT*

“Dih, main matiin aja” grumbled Budi.

“Wa’alaikum salam” Budi continued to answer Adel's greetings.

Continuing the activity of sweeping his yard. Until it is clean, until there is no more left, scattered rubbish. Then he put it in an organic garbage can. A short message came in as he walked into the house.

*Happy standing, handsome*

That was the brief message from Adel. Making the mind laugh and grumble simultaneously.

“You why, mas? Laughter but ngedumel” asked Princess confused.

“This, mbak Adel, ngajakin gowes” replied Budi.

“Terus?” ask the Princess again.

“Ya gowes”

“Mana can? Kan sepda mas Budi,”

“Standing” cut Budi, with face mimic made like pissed.

“Can't, mas”

“Huu, ngeremehin mas Budi?”

“Hi hi hi. Look at it first, the bike!” princess advice while laughing.

Go straight to the back. He opened a room behind the kitchen that functioned as a warehouse.

“Alllohu Akbar, bak” exclaimed Budi, made bu Ratih out of his room. He asked the Princess, but the Princess laughed amusedly.

“Truly-deh, sir. The wheel is reversed, the steering is pumpedin” exclaimed Budi again. He's ruffled around the waist.

“Hmpf. Ha ha ha ha ha”

The princess could no longer hold back her laughter. Instantly the laughter of the jaim earlier, turned into a loose laugh. Mrs Ratihpun also laughed, hearing the grunts of her son.

“Pak, the circus also has no one to make rich attractions gini. Usually, one-wheeled bicycle. At best also lipet” bike continued Budi. The princess laughed even harder.

“But there is still a steering” Budi bobbing heads.

The princess rolled on the floor, so unable to hold her laughter. Madam Ratih also came out with tears, so she let go of her laughter.

“Pak, Budi never tried a one-wheeled bicycle, easy it turns. Lipet bikes have also been. You can still make it. Waist doang bouncy”

The princess held her stomach. The other hand was thrown towards his mother. Mrs Ratih also held her stomach, while shaking her head.

“Lah, this? Ouch. What are these visions, huh? steering is pumped, forks are cut with iron. This turn can not, standing also can not”

Mrs Ratih followed the roll on the floor. Sitting against the wall had not quite expressed how amused his heart was to hear his son's nagging. Where Budi called the vision-mission of all. Dwi single who often questioned his father Budi during life.

“Startnya not from home, mas!” chirps Princess.

“Start from where, Put?” ask Ratih ma'am.

“From across the bridge” replied Princess.

“Had, this too, sir. Father love vision-mission what, anyway?” sahut Budi's. The princess laughed again.

“Emang if start from across the bridge, can be sampe?”ask Ratih ma'am. The cliche question.

“Sampe bu, his home ndalepuk”.

“Ha ha ha ha”

“Nadlepuk, netting. Sendal ijole. Sendal break up a pair of dapet krupuk a pack”

“Ha ha ha ha”

“Jeger. Budi landing in the sedal” pile continued Budi imitating the ball commentator.

“Walah mas, the rim is bent. Crackers, yes?” continue to joke.

Bu Ratih and Putri were getting louder again laughing. He made his neighbors ask from far away.

Hearing the reprimand from his neighbors, Mrs Ratih realized that their voices had gone too fast. While still laughing, Mrs Ratih left Budi. So too with the Princess.

Until about to leave for the market, Mrs Ratih still had time to laugh again. That's because Budi put his bike on the terrace fence, while being looked at.

As if he was thinking, how to ride the bike.neighbor who asked just now finally laughed, after bu Ratih pointed his index finger at Budi's bike.

There are no bicycles, Budi has several options. Borrow a neighbor's bike, ride a motorcycle, ride an angkot, or run. If you borrow a neighbor's bike, it will risk causing chaos.

After all, it is not new for Budi, long distance running. The surrounding industrial area is also more than ten kilometers. That's what he does often.

With complete confidence, he set out in his flagship running shoes.

It took an hour for Budi to arrive at the dock. The new dock. His position is at the west end.

From afar, Budi saw a group of women stopping at the west end of this new pier. Really on the end. There is no road after that end. Everything is cycling, and their bikes look different. Although only from behind, but Budi can be sure, if one of them is his lover.

“Assalamu’alaikum” greetings.

everyone looks towards him. Some of them are confused because they feel unfamiliar.

“Waa’alaikum salam” answer them.

“Bram?” Adel was a bit confused to see Budi coming on foot.

“Sori ta, telat” sahut Budi.

“Abram up what?” ask Adel. He shook his head, and kissed his hand.

“Nih” reply Budi. He showed me his shoes.

“Astasghfirulloh, there is ee’ cat” exclaimed Budi, knowing there is dirt on the soles of his shoes.

“Ha ha ha ha” all who saw it, laugh.

“Yes, yes, we go first. Want to be beautiful, kita”

One of them represented the other, asking Adel for permission to continue the journey.

“Loh, Sinta? Aduh sori, sin, do not see” exclaimed Budi. Budi then greet Sinta, and the others.

“Iya, huh. His name is also in love. Bay the way, congratulations, on the part. Hopefully lasting, sampe pelaminan” said Sinta.

“Amiin”

Not only Budi, all there is also to guarantee Sinta prayer.

They left, accompanied by jokes and laughter from their own neighbors. Adel looked at Budi's face fixedly. It was as if I had found something beautiful to look at.

“Why, anyway? Something strange on abram's face?” ask Budi.

“Abram marathon, from home?” Adel asked back to ask.

“No, take angkot” replied Budi lying.

“Fix, abram boong's. The answer makes no sense. Means it does not match reality”

“Means?”

“Why take an angkot, do you have a motor? There is also a parking lot in front. Don't tell me you don't know, yeah!” answer Adel.

I was just shaking my head at Adel's answer. He didn't expect to be guessed that way.

*Ow, my girlfriend's detective cuy. Can't be weird, huh. Ha ha v*.

“Frying. Lontong pecel, arem-arem”

There was the sound of mothers selling their wares. Instantly Budi turned to look at the mothers.The old bicycles of the mothers, look full of merchandise. The smell of fried foods and arem-arem, as if it was melting his stomach that began to feel hungry. And it was read by Adel.

“Bu, arem-arem, bu” call Adel.

Budi turned towards Adel. He seemed to be recalling the contents of his wallet. He did not remember clearly, the initial amount of his money. After being reduced to buying a drink on the road earlier, the rest now could not be ascertained. Adel chuckled looking at Budi stunned.

Regardless of Budi who is still sculpting, Adel immediately chose fried foods and arem-arem. Be aware when Adel wants to make a transaction. Late, Adel already paid with the right money. And the merchant's mother left immediately.

“Sit there, yuk!” take Adel.

Budi just nodded then followed where Adel stepped. Adel invites Budi to sit on the foundation stone of this pier. Somewhat dangerous according to Budi. But after he saw that there was a large stone that was flat, he finally came along.

Their position was now as if they were shielded from the outside world. The foot of the hill behind him, high enough to hide them from any point of view. Including from above. The thick trees above, just make a blank spot.

“Why, smiley-smile?” ask Adel.

“Enggak” Reply Short.

But his smile was getting wider. He chose to sit to the right of Adel. As if to keep the edge of the stone, so that Adel is not mired.

“Kok knows, rich place gini?” ask Budi.

“Oh, hehe. Sinta told you. Fun, yes. It feels like having your own” replied Adel.

“Nih, breakfast, bram” Adel continued. He opened the plastic package containing the fry.

Take the arem-arem and the bakwan. Like eating rice with side dishes. He did not want to jaim, because his stomach was starting to get hungry.

Adel also took the arem-arem. While enjoying the savory arem-arem, and the breeze of the morning, Budi idly extended his hand behind Adel's body.

“Ehm, um. Naughty, yes. have dared to embrace-angkul” comments Adel.

Just smiling, not knowing what to answer. Adel himself did not refuse to embrace Budi. In fact, when the arem is exhausted, he then rests his head on Budi's left shoulder.

“Bram, don't stay tata, yes!” chirps Adel. I was surprised to hear that phrase.

“Cuman a moron who died tata” replied Budi.

“Udah many scholars who retreated. Not strong with the fathers of tata” said Adel.

“Tata really hope, abram not ngeper rich them. even though the father of the same mother tata, kejemnya not ketulungan” continued Adel.

“Hem, you will never know, till you try. Patut kotir” comments Budi.

Adel straightened his body. He looked at Budi's face as if looking for seriousness in the words of the mind earlier.

“For the money, abram was once knocked down by the same people bego. Abram never spelled out brain ******. Same name dog, pig, gecko, whatever. But, thank God. Abram could give proof, if this moron, it could feel above him, who felt bitter. As bad as dogs, they can be made pinter, made ferociously, according to their needs. Yeah, okay, I'm a dog. My job is to deal with the bad. So don't let me discover your ugliness at work. Because I will make you miserable” Budi story. Adel gasped at the change in Budi's face.

“And abram evidin. Do not think the new child can not make a senior fire beard” continued Budi.

“But, bram?” argue Adel.

“But Abram confessed that earlier, not in the context of revenge. But there is a work attitude that needs to be addressed” cut Budi. He smiled at Adel.

Adel fell silent. He hoped that what Budi said was the truth. That Budi will not be vengeful, whatever his parents have done.

He hoped that Budi would stand the test of their love. And managed to get the blessing of his father and mother. That hopeful gaze, made him unconscious, as the distance of their faces slowly approached, approached, continued to approach.

*cuup*

I don't know who started it, and I don't know why no one refused. But that's what happened. Their lips were fused with the warmth. Still in the grip of Budi's hand, Adel closed his eyes. Enjoying touch after touch on her lips. They were clinging to each other in intimacy.

“Emh”

Adel had forgotten to breathe, until he almost ran out of oxygen. His breathing was heard as he regained his senses. Like a diver who just appeared to the surface of the water. Even so, he did not intend to release the appearance of Budi's lips on his lips.

“Emh”

In that moment, Adel wondered. It's been so far, but Budi just grabbed his body. Just being frowned upon and fenced off. But his right hand, did not take action at all.

If with his ex-girls first, there is no need to wait a minute, surely he was immediately charmed.

“Ahh”

Budi let go of the pagutan. He looked into his lover's eyes. In his heart he was grateful, able to get Adel's whole heart. On the other hand, Adel felt that what Budi had just done to her, was an expression of deep love for her.

Adel did not see any lust on Budi's face. She smiles. He hoped, Budi will always be. Can distinguish between intimacy and lust.

“For the sake of an angel of heaven, Abram will face whatever challenges come his way. And Abram promised, Abram would not take revenge on his father and mother. Because abram knows, they just want the best for tata” Budi said breaking the silence.

“The best according to them is just a treasure, bram” Adel said.

“No problems. If so, that's a challenge for Abram. Abram must be more active to wake up at night. Ask the Allah, to be given directions. In order to be given a path to success” cut Budi.

Adel smiled, his eyes glazed over. Adel knows, Budi is not trying to change it. He can feel that. He held great hope, so that what his lover said could come true.

“Bram”

She immediately hugged Budi. He has no power to linger looking at the eyes. In his heart he prayed, that the Almighty should bless their relationship.

In the heart also Adel admitted, if he is tired, must be in direct conflict with both parents. He wanted to end this difference of view.

During this time, he had not found a match of the men introduced by his parents. May Budi, the person he loves, be able to raise his social status. So that he can get acceptance as his father received Luki.

“Bram, to teleng, yuk!” take Adel, suddenly.

“Teleng?” ask Budi in shock.

“Iya, teleng ria”

Adel knew, Budi must be considering, to accept or reject his invitation. Because of the distance between this new pier, with the beach teleng ria is quite far. Although it is still a coastline. Intentionally he did that, he wanted to know, the extent of Budi's earnestness.

“Abram has not been paid, ta” replied Budi. Adel gasp. It turns out that the consideration of Budi is not only one, but two.

“Ngak papa, just plan to take a walk on the beach. I haven't had a long time, replied Adel.

He still remains in his mind. He still wanted to hear what the final answer was.

“Lewat top dong? Again high tuh” asked Budi.

“Ya, how to do again”

“Yuk!”

Adel did not believe what he saw. Budi looks excited to obey his wishes.

Indeed, it was rare for a man to refuse his request. But with no vehicle, it means he has to run, or at least walk. This was the first time Adel had seen a man who wanted to. They walk hand in hand. Maintain each other's balance when passing through the rocks of the pier.
