THE MENTARY FOR THE ESTUARY

CHAPTER 18, MEET AGAIN IN JOGJA

On the train, in the morning. Riana wriggled, releasing herself with all her might from the clutches of sleepiness that were like continuing to want to contain her. Next to her, it appeared that Abhi was busy reading something on her phone. Abhi nudges Riana's arm, asking her to wake up immediately.

“Why, Bhi?” tanyakanya.

“Build, non, a little more Tugu Station..” he said.

“Oh, yes? Sorry yes, I woke up late.” said Riana while rubbing her eyes several times.

“Ngak papa, Ri, anyways, the journey is far away also we are..” Abhi smiled, then hung up her phone. Riana squirmed her body once again. And he just realized, that there was a jacket with a very good perfume fragrance wrapped around his body. It seemed like this had been around since last night, and he was completely lulled into comfort from sleeping using that thing.

“That's my jacket, sorry yes. Last night you were cold like that, so I put it on.” said Abhi.

“Lho, no papa, I do not feel good, ngerepotin you... But the fragrance of the perfume is very good you know, Bhi, usually the perfume of the guy is mostly nyegrek yes, this is not, soft, calm it is..” said Riana.

“You like tah?” ask Abhi.

“Yes like it, there are rarely guys wearing perfume, keep it calm..” said Riana.

“This is my sister's product, she sells perfume online so, both for girls and for guys there are all..” explained Abhi.

“Wah, fun as it were... What's the olshop's name? It's on IG gak?” riana asked excitedly.

“There, IG in Mayang Ristiana, just look there..” said Abhi. As fast as lightning, Riana took her phone, and scrolled on her personal instagram account, searching for an account on behalf of Mayang Ristiana. And a moment later, his eyes were perfectly rounded.

“Lho... This right?”

“Why Ri?” Abhi wonder.

“This is my student, Mamay, 12th grader IPA 1... His school is in Pelita Bangsa, in his bio IG..”.

“Lho, you taught there ta?” Abhi followed in shock.

“Iyaa, I'm an art teacher there.”.

“Yeah, that narrow world turns out. Lak mbulet ae tho crew dewe i..” Abhi laughing.

“La yes, hadeeh... Nek ngene ceritane ya tak japrine wae arek-e ngko... Yowes, ndang get ready yuk, little again until we..” said Riana. Abhi nodded. He immediately picked up his bag in the compartment above them, followed by Riana.

“Can you grab it, Bhi?” ask the girl while lifting her backpack.

“Can dong, Just like this. Yuk...” Abhi immediately clasped Riana's hand. Riana greeted him, and they immediately descended from the iron snake that took them from Jakarta to Jogja.

“Horeeee, meet againiii!” muara exclaimed as she patted hard on the shoulders of two human children who had just got off the train.

“Alah, just came to this KDRT we... Where are the others, Ra?” riana asked while hitting hard on the boy's shoulder.

“They were at the hotel, were invited instead did not want, on want to sleep he said, yes already..” replied Muara.

“Yeee, disobedient yes boy... Yes yuk, straight to the hotel, I also want to rest, want to take a shower too, very tired, must shampoo the wealth...” said Riana while rubbing her hair that was coiled from that origin.

“Woi, diapakno karo Mas Abhi you, sampe should shampoo everything?” ledek Muara's.

“Your thoughts are ndi wae cah, ora yooo... Yowes ndang ah, heavy tau carry a backpack.” murmur Riana.

“Iyo, iyo, ndoro princess... The car over there is good, good, and facilities again I..” said Muara. Riana immediately took Abhi's hand, to continue their journey, boarded a car, then headed for the hotel.

Riana enjoyed the gudeg rice very greedily. Next to him, there was Ganesh who was also eating. From his expression, we all know that he is very happy, because he can see his brother again.

“Mbak, often meet kayak gini yes, frankly, I am happy..” said Ganesh while sipping on the warm sweet tea in front of him.

“Insya ALLAH deck, but the meeting nomad gini no papa tah?” ask Riana.

“As long as the same mbak, meet on Mars also I do not papa kok, which is important mbak not go again.” Ganesh smile. Riana stroked dear the top of her sister's head. He never realized before, that his rash decision three years ago turned out to have changed many things. If there is no social media, if there are no events, it seems little hope for him to be reunited with his brother who is very much loved.

“Iya no papa Ra, anyways like we this afternoon there is an agenda both yes, Riana wants to eat ice cream gelato in the area of Kaliurang there.” said Abhi.

“Melooooooookkkk!” exclamation Vishnu and Ganesh compact.

“We won't let you guys have fun just the two of us, without us,” Ganesh said with a funny face mimic, and it couldn't help but make Riana laugh, and snap her head.

“Iya-iya, we go four later,” he said. The mouth just smiles. Worrying about the four of them like this, somehow it becomes like a happy family filled with mother, father, and two children huh? Is there a front like this that he dreamed of? Who is the woman who will be the mother of her children? Riana, huh? Hus, what the hell was it! Udah ah, yuk, we continue their activities sightseeing in Jogja.

“Although a thousand months

Even though a million nights wait

I am faithfully waiting for you

Love you to death

Why did you leave?

Why have you forgotten?

A beautiful story is like a dream

Until the leaves fall off

Until my hair turns white

No one can change the heart

Even a thousand months

Even though a million nights wait

I am faithfully waiting for you

Love you to death” Song Thousand Months Million Nights performed by the eccentric buskers typical Jogja was so sweeping Riana in the atmosphere. Malioboro, night. And in the end, he was just walking alone with Muara, because Abhi, Vishnu and Ganesh chose to go to the Cultural Park, because there are festivals and puppet theater performances there. At the lesehan stall they stopped at now, there was a busker who was entertaining the visitors, and the song was yes, Kahitna.

“Mas, here!” exclaim Riana. The four buskers exchanged lyrics, astonished. Mama called them, didn't she?

“Hey, mas, here, why even dumbass?” Riana waved her hand right towards the buskers earlier.

“Oh, nggih mbak, actually call us tho it turns out..”

“Iya, I plow you here..” said Riana while removing some sheets twenty thousands.

“Nyanyiin song Kahitna for us yes..” the door.

“Wo ready, mbak!” exclaim the four buskers while welcoming the sumringah of the money sheet. Riana smiled, and returned engrossed in enjoying her meal with Muara.

“Ngeliat buskers here are different yes the same buskers elsewhere..” comments Muara while cleaning his hands. They had finished eating, and the singer finally disbanded after chanting the last song (still from Kahitna), titled “Cantik”, and made Riana blush throughout the song.

“Yes, so I dared to kayak earlier to them because I appreciate them anyway.” said Riana.

“You ride a rickshaw not?” tawar Muara's.

“What time is it? Later we return, tomorrow you fill the event right?” ask Riana.

“New eleven o'clock, ride the rickshaw also the shortest. Come on, mumpung again here,” bargain Muara. Riana weighed in for a moment. And for the sake of seeing Muara's hopeful cute face, the girl finally felt unbearable.

“Ya already, yuk, ride the pedicab..”

“Yeeeey, ayok, over there!” exclaim Muara while taking Riana to the nearest rickshaw base. Well, glad they both are. I also want to take a vacation.
