THE MENTARI FOR ESTUARY SEASON 2

CHAPTER 26, C E M B U R U (2)

            In plane. Riana was still inexhaustible with what she saw just before she left her former boarding house. How can? How could? And how is it possible that Maura is now anchoring herself and her heart to...

“Hai, girl!”

“Eh chick jump... Yes ALLAH does not think who, Alit tho.”.

“La ho-oh, why are you meeting here mbak?” the young man named Alit was grim, astonished, because it could one flight with Riana, without any prior agreement.

“Awakmu arep nang Surabaya pisan ta Lit?” ask Riana.

“Ck, yo iyo ta, ki destination plane must be mbak, ora koyok karo Ica karo stak, ups..” Alit covered his mouth, flashing.

“Heh... Kowe ki ra ono story opo-opo moro-moro wes karo Ica wae... Ica-e Rose Cafe right?” ask Riana.

“Halisa Fibrina, who else if not the figure of the girl..”

“La by isok... Kepiye ceritane?” Riana curious.

“Mbuh, maybe my fault too, this guy's a runaway from Carissa too kok..”.

“What?” Riana almost screeched. Just what had happened in fact, to the point that many stories that he did not know at all were like this?

“Wes is mbak, I'll tell the story later. Again males think that's right, so I stopped by Surabaya, I want to look at Hanum as well.” said Alit while leaning weakly on the back of the plane seat.

“Oh. Yes already, later together during there, my people sak kost yoan mbek your sister.” said Riana.

“Iya, but there is cheap hotel info about there? Just make two days doang kok.”

“Hotel is a lot, but do not need wes, later nginep nang kost-e my sister aja.” said Riana.

“Well, can you?” ask Alit.

“La why can't you? Wes calaho..” said Riana. Alit just nodded. The rest, they chose silence, focusing on their individual thoughts, while listening to the direction of the flight attendants who were conducting a demonstration of in-flight safety instructions. In the next hour, they will fly, high, far away from Jakarta.

***

Juanda Airport, at night. Thankfully, the two of them – means Riana and Alit, arrived in this East Java capital safely.

“Lho, congratulations where? Were they just the two of them he said?”

HEH chicken skin chrysanthemum, that's not what it means. Not that they went escorted with the congratulations, that is to say, the flight went well, without any obstacle. Ah, it's hard to talk about rempeyek crumbs!

“Iya-iya, pack rice padang. Back there continue the story!”

***

“Hey mbak, welcome back!” exclaimed Hanum excited while showering Riana with a hug. Riana hugged the girl back, and pinched her kingpin cheeks.

“Lho, why Riri Thok? Sing iki not hugged ta?” ask Alit suddenly. Hanum. But suddenly, his screams echoed, and he immediately hugged his older brother tightly.

“What a surprise? Why did Mas Alit come with Mbak Riri here? Do you still know each other? What was the acquaintance on the plane?” ask Hanum streak. Duh boy, his habit if already nanya, kayak train, panjaaaaaaaaaaang very.

“I'm the same masmu tuh turned out to have known each other long deck, wong I'm surprised dek-e said you're his sister. I can't believe Han, about you ayu, masmu elek..” ledk Riana.

“Asem..” murmur Alit.

“Oh yes Mas Al, this is Ganesh, my girlfriend, her brother Mbak Riri,” Hanum said cheerfully while bringing Ganesh, introducing him to the older brother.

“Duh, yoopo iki, meet the future sister-in-law..” whispered Ganesh half nervous.

“Quiet, Nesh, masku did not bite kok,” said Hanum origin.

“Deeeeek, masmu dipadak-ke karo helly iki piye tho..” pickle Alit again.

“Guyon mas, elah, younes kono acquaintance!” hannum was impatient. Ganesh shook his brother Hanum's hand first, while introducing himself.

“I Ganesh mas, his girlfriend Hanum.”.

“Iyo, greetings, I'm Alit, the masnya... Did Hanum never tell you?” ask Alit.

“Pernah kok mas, ever.” replied Ganesh timidly.

“Mas, don't interrogate my guy..” Hanum's scolding.

“Halah already, let us familiarize ourselves, eat-eat!” sela Vishnu's.

“What is mbak?” ask Ganesh.

“Which voice?” riana asked, with her eyes inspection all around.

“Oh, he waited at the cafeteria mbak, mbak to get there aja, luggage business so it is our responsibility.” said Hanum.

“Lho, box..”.

“Wes tagged, actually he said Hanum. And I guess you guys need time for both.” Ganesh Timpal.

“Ja-So how?” ask Riana.

“Yo paranoia, samperin. There, hus!” expel Ganesh. Riana was just grumbling. While leaving his luggage trolley, he walked, looking for the whereabouts of Muara which he said was in the cafeteria inside the airport.

***

Muara looked at her puja girl with a wounded look at once... Longingly. Yeah, he's hurt, but he misses too.

“Ra..” call Riana. Muara did not answer, but she immediately approached Riana, then hugged her – just hugged, without saying anything. And despite the confusion, but Riana still returned the hug, because she also felt the same longing.

“Udah long wait?” Riana broke the silence.

“Not yet. Want to go straight now? Goods where?” ask Muara.

“Udah brought the same children to the kost, insya Allah safe.” Jhawab Riana's.

“Oh, if so we go directly to the road, anyways I also just bring the motor..” said Muara. Riana nodded. And together, they finally came out of the cafeteria and airport area, looking for food stalls that are still open, despite the late atmosphere.

“You to Kenjeran?” tawar Muara's.

“Wherever you take it, I come,” replied Riana slowly. Muara smiled, then forwarded his motorbike according to the direction of the goal he offered earlier.

***

Silence remained king, even when two plates of kupang lontong had been barren, along with his young coconut ice. Kenjeran, night. And they still choose silence, dialogue with their own feelings. But, one has to start, before things get drawn out and end without edges.

“Ra... Anything to say?” ask Riana.

“Ngg... I think there is no,” replied Muara slowly.

“Or do you want to do something?” ask Riana again.

“Cuma peeper hugs you... Can?” without waiting for the same request for a second time, Riana immediately immersed herself in the Muara's embrace. Strong, comfortable, and protective grip. The love he missed too.

“Tomorrow, I will tell you everything,” said Riana, after the breakdown of their embrace.

“Tell me if you're really ready, I won't force..”.

“My every day is tomorrow, we meet again, and I will tell you everything without exception.” replied Riana slowly. The mouth smiled, then grabbed the girl once more.

“Then I take you home? It's eleven o'clock, nih,” said Muara. Riana just nodded. His head and eyes are heavy. He really needs his room, his mattress, his pillow and his blanket too. Everything that had happened to him since a few days ago had drained his energy so much. And maybe, when he can sleep all day until tomorrow, he's better prepared for anything heavier.

“Hey, sleepy huh?” ask Muara. Riana flinched, then raised her head.

“So-Sorry..” great-grandson.

“Ssssttt, no need to say sorry. I am anter yes. Yuk, hold my hand,” said Muara. Riana nodded. His eyes were completely uncompromising. He must immediately reach his boarding house, if not risk falling on the road because of sleep.

“Nyender to my back yes. This is your body and my body is bound. So you can sleep. I will walk slowly, just calm down,” said Muara. Riana nodded again. His head was heavy and sore, his eyes were spicy because they were holding back the drowsiness. So, he can only resign, whatever Muara will do to him. He believed in that man.

***

“Eh, here mas, directly lifted his Mbak Riri. What's the sleep?” asked Ganesh who was astonished to know that Muara was carrying someone.

“Iya Nesh's. Bring it in, pity, tired of the power he..”

“Eh no need, wes I do not go home, I just walk myself to the room,” Riana said as she rubbed her eyes.

“Yowes gek turu, beautiful. Good night.” Muara said while peeping a glance at the girl's forehead. Riana just nodded and smiled. Groping the wall, he walked towards his room, continuing... Go to sleep again. What do you want to do, emang?
