I walked back to the parking lot where I worked. As usual, after the afternoon break, around 13, my office work was done.
I rushed home with my black yamaha fino. But when I just pushed it for a while, the bike turned out to be heavy. I immediately checked the front and rear tires.
I clicked annoyed after finding my rear motorcycle tire turned deflated in a flash.
“Why, Sophia?” ask someone to surprise me a little.
“Oh, Mr. Adi. This sir, my rear motorcycle tyre seems to be leaking.”
Adi Bagaskara, a PNS who also worked there. The man is often the subject of temptation for office employees because they have not been married at the age of which is quite enough. But, even though the man is already 30 years old, he still looks youthful, really.
Pak Adi took the initiative to squeeze the rear tire of my motorcycle. “I tried the pump first how? Who knows this is just the wind,” bargain to me.
“Bby, Sir.” I answered a little unwell but agreed.
Pak Adi also moved to take the motor pump which was already provided by the office near the parking lot there. He also began to pull and push the lever of the manual pump that filled the wind of my motorcycle tire.
I kept watching Mr. Adi who was being kind. One minute. Two minutes. Mr. Adi sighed.
“Why, Sir? Really leaked, huh?” I asked Pak Adi who was crouching holding my rear motorcycle tire.
Mr. Adi stood up. “Iya nih, I think it leaked.”
I stared at Fino. Fino, the real name I gave to my black motorcycle. Fino's fussy today, maybe I'm not good at looking after him. Fino's tires have also started to smooth, perhaps that's why he leaked. Maafin Sophia, Fino. Hik….
“You assisted push motor to workshop?” Again, Mr. Adi offered me help.
“Not done, Sir. I am alone. Not good with Mr. Adi, later exhausted because of me again.” I-i refused.
Adi smiled warmly at me. “Neither, Sophia. Deket workshop here is quite far, loh. I help you push, yes?”
“But, Sir.”
“Udah.., no pa-pa.”
Mr. Adi also helped me push Fino away to the workshop. True said Mr. Adi, the nearest workshop from the office was quite far away. About twenty minutes, we just arrived.
***
In workshop…
I gave a bottle of cold drink I just bought at the store near the workshop to Mr. Adi. The man looked very tired after pushing Fino.
While waiting for Fino's tires to be repaired, Adi and I sat waiting on the long bench provided in the workshop.
“Pak Adi,” call me slowly make the man turn his head. “thank you much have helped me push the motor until here. I am not good.”
Adi laughed softly. “Casual aja, Sophia.”
“Oh, yes. This is not an office hour anymore, you if you talk to me just relax,”, said Mr. Adi who might see my behavior a little awkward with him.
“Iya, Sir.”
Adi laughed softly again. What's so funny, anyway? Wonder me. “Call Adi aja, Sophia. Do I look old, huh?”
I smile. “Not really, Sir.”
“Kok Sir again, anyway?”
“Oh, yes. Adi means.” I smiled in shame.
Adi and I were talking to each other. Five minutes. Ten minutes. I started checking my phone too. My heart rippled thinly after seeing a message from Juna.
Juna: Sophia...., where else?
Sophia: Again in the workshop. Fino's sick.
This is why I'm picking 'Fino sick', anyway? I was amazed by myself.
Juna: Again in the workshop? Fino's sick? Meanin?
Ha ha ha, I work for Juna. Inner laughs.
Sophia: Yeah, I'm in the same workshop as Fino.
I'm still waiting for Juna's message to be sent. But the man seemed to be typing it for a long time. One minute. Two minutes. Juna hasn't returned my message yet.
“Sophia, I'm back first, yes. You don't pa-pa do you wait for yourself?” pamit Pak-, oh, that means Adi. Pamit Adi suddenly told me.
“Yes, not pa-pa. Again thanks, Adi,” I said a little cringe calling the man in my office by name only.
Adi smiles. “Iya, equally. Yes already, I first, yes.”
Adi also went with an ojek that was not far from the workshop. I can see it. The man walked towards the office street. Maybe he wants to go back there to get his bike.
I'm still waiting in that workshop. I went back to check my phone, and a reply from Juna I read.
Juna: Which workshop?
I smiled while typing.
Sophia: Anugerah Workshop, Jalan Widuri.
Juna: Okay, OTW get there.
Juna wants to send me here? Seriously??? I jerked my feet into the stucco of the workshop. Luckily, no one saw my stupid attitude. I also took a relaxed breath.
Five minutes. Ten minutes. Juna came to me. “Hai,” he said staring while sitting on my right.
“Hai,” reply I say hello smile at him.
“Why are you smiling like that? Do I have samperin?” Juna grinned mischievously.
Juna King of the Universe, I forgot that he believed himself to be of an acute level! Relax Sophia.., stay calm and elegant. Don't look cheap, okay!
“Isss...” I sizzled, then threw away my face.
“So the Finns are better yet?” juna asked, glancing at me.
I'm a little bit glaring. Does Juna know that Fino is my bike? Failed dong I fucked him earlier? “Nknow. Still replaced the tires.” My answer.
“Lo has lunch?” Juna is really paying attention, huh? A long time ago I met a guy like Juna. I'm sure he's a good man.
“Udah. Lo alone?” askaku.
“Udah. Prayer also udah.” Juna smiled at me.
That answer reminded me of the exact same answer when I replied to her message. At that time, Mini said, Juna borrowed his phone to contact me on whatsapp. Throwback, right.... I lowered a silent look smiling inwardly.
“Iya. It was really fitting I want to go back, and it turns out the rear tire Fino already deflated.”
“So how do you bring Fino here? Push?” Juna looked curious.
“Iya. But I'm not the one who pushed Fino nyampe here. There was Adi who helped me.”
“Adi? Who?” And now Juna's face looked even more curious than before. She why?
“Adi, he won me.” Reply relax.
“Temen what is temen..?” Juna grinned.
“Not temen, anyway. He was my senior in the office. He worked there first rather than me.”
“Hmmm Juna responded to me, and then he kept quiet.
I also kept quiet.
Hose shortly, Fino was finished replaced by tires. I also paid the workshop wage, then led Fino out to the side of the road.
“Juna, you want to go back or what? I want this afternoon, I also have to go back because.”
Juna walked over to me. “Entar malem I chat lo. Don't sleep yet, yeah. Careful, Sophia,” whispers her close to my ear.
The wind blew slowly after Juna inched away. The man smiled, then left on his black kawasaki trail bike. Heart oh heart, why are you twitching inside?

In the room with Mini…
“Serious he asked who Fino was to lo?” I was in disbelief with Mini who he said that afternoon Juna asked him about Fino.
“Yes, seriously!”
“Gue first startled my nyamperin guy in class suddenly. He's nanya gini. Ni, who's Fino? I don't know anything, so I'm confused. Fino who the hell, brother? Keep kayaking Juna that. What does Fino have to do with Sophia? From there I began to understand. Oh, Fino…. Fino and Sophia have a very close relationship, sister. Fino it.., its motor Sophia.”
I'm excited about Mini's story to me. Jeez, so Juna replied to an old message earlier because of how much Fino went to Mini? He's funny, anyway.
“Continuously? How did Juna pas lo say that?” I was so curious about Mini.
“She's a masang cake of that flat face. I think he's embarrassed. Where there the kids see us again,” obviously Mini makes me laugh a little.
I also walked slowly to pick up my phone at the study table. I sat on that wooden chair, then opened the whatsapp app. Juna, why hasn't he sent me a message yet? He said he'd chat me this afternoon.
“Ehem-ehem, someone waiting for chat, nih?” Mini started teasing me.
I glanced sharply at Mini who was sleeping on the bed.
“Yes if Junanya has not chat, lo chat first, lah,” Mini said to me.
“Ngak, ah. My target is considered flirtatious again.”
Mini chuckles, then sits down. “Juna yes can be differenta girl flirty same girl miss it kayak how.”
“I mean lo, I'm not flirty but miss it?”
“Emang really, right?”
“Ogah, ah. Entar if I chat first dianya kegeeran again. You know, Juna is the pedenya level of god.”
Mini laugh. “Funny is that guy too. But anyway, you and Juna have to be! We can double date, Phi.” Mini cheerful.
“Double date nutmeg lo?”
“Kok nutmeg lo, anyway? Come dong Phi his PDKT spirit!!”
I'm sighing. Tling. Incoming message notification sounds. Juna, that guy just sent me a message. I read it immediately too.
Juna: Belom sleeps, right?
Sophia : Belom.
Juna: Is that the answer?
Sophia: Continues? What do you have to answer?
Juna: Didn't ask back?
Sophia: What? Now you again chat me, meaning lo belom sleep, right?
Juna: Ha ha ha.
Juna : Lo Saturday off, right?
Sophia : Yes. Wh why?
Juna: Tomorrow Saturday afternoon to campus, yes.
Sophia: To campus? Whynot? Oggone, ah.
Juna: You have to!!! Anyway you should bring me lunch tomorrow Saturday. If you don't come, I won't have lunch. You don't want me to get sick, do you?
Sophia: Serah lo! Whether you want lunch or not, it's none of my business. You're sick, it's none of my business. I don't want to go to college. The point!!!
Juna: Thanks, Sophia. I'll wait for you on Saturday at the college. See you's….
“Ni sane person no, anyway???” ocehku looked at the astonished reply to Juna's whatsapp message.
“Why, anyway?” tanya Mini muttered as she fiddled with her phone on the bed.
“This is Juna, when he told me to bring lunch to his campus tomorrow?”
Mini, who was initially indifferent, suddenly woke up from the bed with a face of spirit. “Serious?” Mini widened in awe with his mouth agape.
“Bodo, ah. I don't want to go there anymore.”
“Why? Ih, not pa-pa times, Phi. This is your chance to show to the college kids. Hi, this is Sophia, who managed to make a Juna King of the Universe a different guy that you might not all believe see! Come on, Sophia...!!!”
“Crazy lo, Ni!”
Mini chuckles. “Cock crazy, anyway?” He's clucking. “Gini, Phi. College kids want to see you again. How do you know, you go there continue to get a lot of fans. Sophia, the buluk girl Juna called on the stage of First Day Campus. Wah..., will be a trending topic throughout the campus lo, Phi!” Mini wettest.
“For a long time I talked with you when the crazy, Ni! Synthesize!”
Mini is still broken. “Apaan, anyway. Love is crazy, Phi!”
I walked out of the room room leaving Mini who was adding to the burden I thought it was. Basic Mini. [ ]
