THE STONE THAT LOVES

Reunite

"It's Abeel? MasyaAllah, already this girl" cried Bude Lia while embracing me

"Yes bude" I replied by kissing her shoulder

"This who's Beel's man?" tanyanya pointed at Aksa

"It's Aksa bude, Abeel's sister" I replied holding Aksa's hand

"Yaa Pardon handsome, here to enter, enter" asked bude Lia

"Mother go straight away Beel, you guys are fine here don't bother bude Lia" said my mother kissed me on the cheek

"Yes ma'am, be careful" I replied and then entered the house following Bude Lia

Bude Lia entertained us very special, he had a fairly large grocery store across from his house, bude Lia bude back and forth to his shop even though there were employees who looked after him. Maybe just make sure the store is okay.

"Well, mama?" call a girl my age

"Yes Fa, ma'am in the kitchen" said Bude Lia from the end of the kitchen

Safa is Lia's last bude daughter, the same age as me. When we were kids we played together.

"Safaaa?, how are you?" I approached him

"Okay, who? answerable

"I'm Abeel, remember?" my words explained

"Abeel?, Abeel, Do you forgive ABEEL?" he hugged me quickly

"You're here, I really don't know you"

"I'm on my holiday Fa"

"Where's mom?"

"My mom has 2 days of work, so I'm here for a while"

"Well, so you're just here 2 days dong"

"More or less the Fa"

We started talking to each other here and there, like old friends we haven't seen in a long time.

I began to look around the corner room, looking for the male figure I expected to present. Well, I was looking for Abi, but I didn't find it.

"Fa, you're in the same house with your mom, your dad? ask me to investigate

"There's bang Bii as well Beel, but she's rarely home. Busy with his own world, because he loves his job so never know the time, but he certainly came home not necessarily when and what time"

"Later if you meet Bang Bii cuekin aja, he's got the face of the plate so, haha" he explained

"He is not clear, even his family considers him unclear" I murmured inwardly

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

At night I feel unable to sleep comfortably, because indeed I need time to adjust to a foreign place that I rarely or never stop by.

Aksa fell asleep. I went out, because it was so hot that it made my throat feel dry. I went to the kitchen to get some mineral water and suddenly

"Preaaac"

I hit something so my glass fell on the floor

I tried to feel the wall to find the location of the light switch.

But as soon as the lights came on, I immediately crouched down to pick up the broken glass scattered on the floor regardless of someone standing in front of me.

"Do not need to be given Beel, then let it go" said the man who made me look up

"Mas Abi?" I said while standing looking at him

Somehow it felt so happy to see his flat face back, I continued to look into his eyes as if not willing to switch views that had been lost all of a sudden.

"Mas isn't a demon, so don't look at me like that"

Abi crouched down to pick up the remaining glass shards on the floor and dumped them in the trash.

My eyes were still focused on him, neither moving nor moving from his place.

"Want a drink?" abi

He thrust out the cold drink he had just picked up from inside the refrigerator, making my daydream break instantly.

"Ooh yes, thank you" I smiled

We were sitting at the kitchen table, not many words came out. Just looking at each other while sipping cold water to melt the atmosphere as if it was very hot.

"Where was the UAS yesterday?" tanya Abi opened the chat

"Current Mas" I replied briefly

I felt like I wanted to ask why I left so suddenly without telling me, but it felt like my courage had not yet been pinned down.

"Pardon me, huh?"

"Yes no papa, I know Abeel accidentally hit" he replied

"Ooooh, so that time Abeel was eavesdropping? wasn't it because Grandma told you to bring a mas into the house?"

"Why is Abeel nguping?" continue with questions

"Emmmgh, it's Mas, Abeel curious" I replied honestly

Abi did not reply just silently looking at me, this time his gaze was really very deep like he was looking for something he wanted

"But I'm better off with my girlfriend?" ask me just to break the atmosphere that makes me uncomfortable

"Udah, even we've met. Had worried every day thinking about how he was, what his diet was awake, but it turned out he was fine" he replied full of explanation

"Aaah, thank God" I said as if I was sorry for Abi's reply

"I went to bed first Mas, it's already malem"

"It turns out that my guess is correct, that Mas Abi already has a lover" I murmured inwardly

I headed for the room I had prepared for me and Aksa, I locked it. He began to lie down and try to close his eyes, but it felt heavy.

It still sounds clear the real answer that Abi said earlier, it hurts so much but why? I still didn't understand the mood as if it was suppressing a feeling I never ignored.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Today, the second day at Lia bude's house, I feel fine and began to adapt to the atmosphere, Aksa always invited bude lia to his shop. Bude Lia very indulgent aksa like his own son.

"Beel, follow the same path my friends" Safa asked

"Eemgh, I'm home with the Fa" I refused

Of course I refused because it would be very foreign if I suddenly joined Safa's comrades especially I know they are a couple.

"Yaudah, I walk first Beel" Safa said

I sat in front of the TV, saw that there was a bookcase so big beside the TV I approached it and observed one by one the books there.

Various kinds of books are there, such as deliberately to be collected. I started to get interested in one novel and picked it up.

"It's a novel by TL, good in it" the sound from behind shocked me

"Well, yeah, this is all Mas's collection?" ask me to guess

"yes, there are actually many more in the room because the room is full so some mas moved here" he replied approaching me

"Abeel's been to GRM?" abi asked, sitting next to me

"What is GRM Mas?" ask me curious

"The biggest bookstore center in town" he answered, looking at me

"It seems nice to be there, it must be like a big book house" I began to dream

"Put there" Abi asked

"Huh?, can you?"

"Who is it?"

"Mas Abi doesn't work?"

"Mildly"

"But then how will Aksa and bude Lia?"

"Later Mas who asked permission, Abeel change clothes first there, the time of using kolor doang, later the ease of looking at it for free" he said

Trying to be joking yet stiff and not at all funny.

Abi and I went to the biggest bookstore in town on an abi motorcycle. It was like when Abi drove me to school just under different circumstances.

We spent time in the store, I started wandering around the shelves and shelves inside, I didn't want to go home.

Abi bought some kind of book that I wanted.

"Would you go to the park?" abi asked by giving me a bottle of the drink he just bought

"Away no?" ask me back

"No" he replied briefly

Apparently near Abi's house there is a small garden, like a kindergarten but not too many people are there.

Shady trees make the garden look still beautiful and cool to be visited by relaxing.

"How many days in Jakarta?" ask Abi who slept in the green grass

"Emmm, maybe 10 daily mas" replied me who sat beside Abi while eating ice cream that Abi bought on the street

"Mas Abi, don't you go back home again?" connect me with questions

"Why?" ask Abi back

"Aaaah, no papa, just the name"

"Beeel, Mas same Abeel how many years?" ask her while tilting her body at me.
