The Story of My Time

Episode 114

I just kept quiet unable to answer ripa'i questions, because I myself do not know how I used to judge ripa'i because at that time I judged him just like the others.

Ripa'i kept staring at me, hoping I would answer her question but I just kept quiet.

Our order came and it saved me from confusion, confused what to answer on ripa'i.

" All right! Looks like this time you survived "he said in a mocking tone

" Please enjoy "said the father who delivered our food

I was about to scoop my food but stopped because of the ripa'i, he took the spoon in my hand and put the spoon back.

" You told me to eat, why take my spoon" I said without turning to ripa'i but focusing on the spoon I was going to take back but in the ripa'i barrier.

" Let me scoop food for you" he said with a sweet smile

" Pai, if it continues like this I better go home "flat me

" You angry? " Tell me seriously

" All right! I'm sorry, good-bye "he continued in a lethargic tone, seeing the reaction of ripa'i's face like that, I felt bad, I felt bad, though I know ripa'i just want to show a little attention that has not been seen for a long time because of the circumstances.

I took my spoon back, scooped up the food in front of me, I just kept silent maybe he had no appetite to eat.

A spoonful of food did not enter my mouth but I gave it to ripa'i, I brought the spoon full of food to his mouth and he glanced at me then smiled and opened his mouth.

After feeding the ripa'i I scooped the food back then put it in my mouth and it made the ripa'i smile widely.

We ate with our hands in peace.

After eating we did not go directly from that place, still at home sitting in that place.

" I'm sorry I made you feel uncomfortable" said ripa'i slowly

" No, I'm the one who apologizes for always disappointing you" I replied

After a little conversation we left the place, and on the way suddenly the rain fell while the time had come.

We stopped in front of the house, whether it was the house where we were just hitchhiking, I kept glancing at the watch in my hand because time continued to run but the rain was still very heavy.

Ripa'i saw the worry on my face, because I was really worried about missing my time.

Ripa'i knocked on the door of the owner, and asked the owner of the house for a place of worship, it just so happened that we took shelter in the house whose owner was good, they allowed us to perform prayers in his house.

We entered and were led to the bathroom to clean the body and ablution.

Ripa'i cleaned up first, while I waited outside, finished ripa'i me alternately.

I was loaned a prayer tool by the mother of the owner of the house, ripa'i loaned peci and sarong finally we performed the prayer isya with ripa'i who became my priest.

Finished with that, we want to say goodbye but prevented by the mother of the owner of the house, he said the rain was still quite heavy and we did not bring raincoats anyway, he said, the mother asked us to sit in her living room and she went inside, and she came back with two glasses of warm tea.

" Please drink the "friendly while putting the warm tea in front of us,

Ripa'i glanced at me as if asking if it's okay if we drink it.

And ripa'i drank it even if only a little.

Waiting for the rain to subside we had a little chat with the owner of the house, I also had time to ask if they lived just the two of them, because as long as I sat in the house, I saw no one else but the father and mother of the house owner.

Ripa'i answered the question that the landlord's father asked, she explained the time I was her fiance and would marry him as soon as my brother recovered.

They nodded in understanding at ripa'i's reply.

The rain had subsided leaving only a fine drizzle, me and ripa'i saying goodbye because I have the lyrics of the watch in my hand already showed almost ten nights, you can imagine how long we have been here.

When I said goodbye and kissed the hands of the father and mother, they stroked my head with a warm smile after saying.

" Look after him, don't look at his shell but look at his heart and sincerity" he said, at first glance I realized that the father was holding my hand and said it had a sixth sense, deservedly from earlier his words were able to calm my heart, even as if he was worthy of my guidance, somehow the thought was there when we had just met this time.

Alternately, it was Ripa'i who kissed his hand and the father also said to ripa'i.

" Don't make the worry that he feels end up regretting for you son "he said to ripa'i, ripa'i smiled at the father and kissed him on the back of his hand after looking at me and smiling, and inexplicably I felt ashamed for the first time at Ripa'i, either because of his smile or because I understand the heart of the mother and father.

After saying goodbye, we went straight to my house, ripa'i riding his motorbike only slowly because it was still raining even though it was just a drizzle, I asked Ripa'i to increase the speed of the bike but he said the disaster would not tell first, it is good to be patient to go to safety.

Hearing ripa'i words I was a little confused what made him speak so wisely, or I who never realized that the man who was with me was always wise.

Long enough on the bike we finally arrived, when passing in front of Caca's house, I saw him in front of his house me and Ripa'i had a greeting.

Arriving in front of the house, I was immediately greeted by questions by my mother and father, the password was also there while Indri somewhere he was.

" How's your brother doing? " Ask the mother, believe the fathers in my place do not like to ask a lot, they are worried about their children but still act calm.

" Thank God my brother was better "my answer, wanted me to ask why they didn't tell me if my brother was sick.

" Thank you" the word I heard from my mother's mouth.

Ripa'i I live in the room, he is accompanied by a password, usually the password is just silent because among others he is the most quiet do not like to talk much what else to ask.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, I went out to bring a warm drink for ripa'i, I said on the table there was already a big glass of tea that I was sure was warm tea, I was warm, ripa'i had also changed clothes maybe a password that lent her clothes.

I talked to ripa'i before he said goodbye.

" When will you be back? " I asked in the middle of the ripa'i smiling

" Do you want me to leave so badly? " Anything I responded with just a smile

" Tomorrow I'll go back to China, bang herdi tells me that everything he's taken care of, I just have to take care of the rest" he said.

I looked at her worriedly, humanely if I felt that, and again I was not the cold girl I used to be on the ripa'i.

" Don't worry, I promise everything is fine, because I don't want to part with you either" he said, and I kept quiet

" If you had been my lawful, maybe I would have brought you to remain beside me, for you are my strength, you always make me strong by thinking only of you " continue again

" Eemmm, I'll wait for you here" I said

" Here, so you're not going home today? " ask

" Home! This is my ripa'i house, I should have been here" I said

" When are you going there? " ask

" Maybe I'll be here a long time, all I want to develop a new business that I wake up in this "my answer, ripa'i looked at me as if he pitied me, I smiled at him.
