The RoofTop Girl's

A little lesson for him

People say it's beautiful

But for me, it's torturous

Jakarta

Senen Market, 16:30 wib

Subterfuge

His net swept away every rush that happened at the Senen market train station that afternoon, the hustle and bustle of station visitors did not bother him at all who sat on a waiting bench with a headset attached to his ear and a motivational book written by Dale Carneige opened.

A moment of leaving the capital will give a fresh new atmosphere to his soul and body. Deliberately choose a road trip by train to the destination so that he can be spoiled with stunning natural scenery. A large rice field area stretches, trees are lined, and the highlands will accompany him until he arrives at the destination station.

Of course the destination station is Sidoarjo Station (SDA) which is in the area of Lemahputro Sidoarjo, East Java, where the prospective in-law is located, who else if not Audrey's mother. He had already contacted the middle-aged woman before without Audrey's knowledge.

Exactly at 16.55 wib, Jayabaya train which is his ride that day began to depart towards the destination which will take quite a long time, the, about 12 hours 8 minutes with a distance of about 784.1 km.

He had turned off his cell phone and had no intention of telling anyone, only the future mother-in-law he had contacted before departure. The night trip put him to sleep, instead of enjoying the beauty of the night trip.

At exactly 05.00 am the train arrived at the destination station, yawned while stretching his body wriggling to enjoy the morning in Sidoarjo and it turns out that the future mother-in-law and husband had been waiting for him there.

"God willing, what a tenan buk, Audrey's candidate."

He could hear the future father-in-law whispering to the mother, and he greeted the two one by one with reverence. They boarded the city transport to Audrey's mother's residence which is about 4 km from the station.

The green atmosphere immediately spoiled his eyes that almost never saw the mountains and rice fields. Having repeatedly inhaled different air than in Jakarta makes his chest feel fresh.

"Like here, Galih? same thing in Jakarta." Mother's voice.

He nodded enthusiastically while smiling.

"Mother also used to, recently came here with the father it feels very happy, the atmosphere is cool, not like in Jakarta." Mom chuckles softly.

It took about ten minutes by riding an angkot, they arrived at a simple house, semi-permanent cement floor and roofed precarious.

"Now just put it in the front room, clean first abis we have breakfast." He patted his back slowly.

Before long he had come out again with fresh conditions wearing t-shirts and home pants. On the table there is a banana stew and warm tea that is still steaming the smoke.

"Let's sit down, Galih."

"Before we thanked her, Audrey last called she said she worked at a clinic with Galih's son."

"Mother was confused at that time, ask him to stop college because he was unable to pay, but he said Audrey went to college while working, thank you very much for giving work to Audrey."

"Yes mom's the same."

"So here why don't you take Audrey?" Finally my mother said that too, perhaps from yesterday on the phone, she was somewhat suspicious of him asking not to tell Audrey about his departure.

He briefly inhaled the air around in one breath, trying to neutralize the nervousness that struck, more nervous than performing a Caesarean for the first time.

"I mean I came here to propose to Audrey and pick up mom and dad to take to Jakarta."

"I'd like to marry Audrey as soon as possible, ma'am, if I can this week before I go to the IDI seminar."

And he could see that the two old men were surprised instead of playing, they looked at each other, but the next second immediately smiled.

"Mother is happy that Galih's son has such intentions, at least Audrey is responsible, to be honest, seeing Audrey alone in Jakarta, sometimes she was often was."

"But isn't it too sudden?"

Hearing the answer of the prospective in-laws, it was like winning a lottery with a prize of billions of rupiah, his chest felt spacious, as clean as the rice fields he passed before here, as far as the eye could see.

She smiled, "I'm sorry, it's a little sudden, but I need to make sure that Audrey is my wife before I go to the seminar."

Since I didn't want to take any chances, the girl turned the wheel, developed the screen and turned around to dock at the former dock. Let's say it's a fear that's too naive, well, who cares.

"So when can you go to Jakarta, ma'am? accommodation and other problems do not think, I will bear it all, until my father returns here later." He looked at the two candidates-in-law, waiting for an answer.

"The next time people want a big harvest, son, maybe about five days from now can just leave, how about ma'am?" Tell the father to the mother who sat next to him and followed the nod of the woman.

"No problem sir, I'll wait here if you don't mind? help with the harvest."

"No, I'm not mom."

Audrey

While hundreds of kilometers from there, there were very languishing. So weak that not showering all day with swollen eyes and dry tears on the face, really sad.

"Have you heard from Galih?" His voice was hoarse when I don't know how many times to call brother Dimas. Luckily the man was kind, who did not mind being bothered by him at all.

"Not yet, Drey, the number's still off."

He sighed as he swallowed the saliva that already felt like a thorn strangling his neck. Said the misser was beautiful, but to him this was really torturous.

"It's grown up, every step the guy even thinks about it a thousand times, don't worry, he's gonna be fine, okay. It just takes time alone." The sound of Dimas calms.

"Thank you brother."

"Hmmm, oh yes brother send food to Rooftop, eaten yes, keep don't forget to shower."

He looked astonished, how did the man know he had not bathed while smelling his ketek, was it possible to smell there??

Dimpled

He was still in the office, when Audrey repeatedly interrupted his work, stopping him from activity by relentlessly asking the same thing, Galih.

And somehow for how many times he tried to call the male contact jerk, but nil, Galih number can not also be contacted. Those who have a problem why I bother ckk.

And just as he refocused on the BHP report on the suspect curanmor, his phone vibrated, Galih called. Whaattt??? like getting a call from heaven, he quickly picked it up.

"Crazy!! goddamn bum!! bastard where you are!!!" As well as he cursed that he believed Sonia would definitely faint if she heard him.

And the one who was cursed even chuckled across there.

"I'm on vacation." Saying Galih without load.

"Curtain, vacation. You left Audrey!!" His voice went up a few octaves.

"Not leaving him, but giving a little touch about the meaning of a miss, let him learn what miss is like, your duty please take care of him until I return."

And he's pinching his temple, obviously dizzy. Take care of people's lovers, that's right.

"I was in Sidoarjo, at Audrey's parents' house, and they picked them up. Come home from here, I'll marry her." Obviously Galih's voice made him a stroke, the man...

"Don't say anything to Audrey."

"Hahaaaaaa, you're crazy man !!!!" Decaknya while throwing cigarette butts into the litter box which is five meters from where it is located.

"Sometimes in life it does need to be a little crazy man."
