THE WOUNDED EARTH

THE WOUNDED EARTH
GUESTS ARE NOT INVITED



The sound of knocking on the door was heard again.I went out of the room to the door.


"Who's sister...?"asked Bani who was standing next to me with a book in her hand.


"Maybe Ridwan, he said he wanted to come here" I replied.


"Ooo, that's it."he said briefly and went back inside the room.


"Assalamualaikum.."the voice of the greetings of men from outside.


"Wa alaikum salam." answered me by opening the door.


"Eh bang Ronald, I thought it was.." I said disconnected.


"Who are you waiting for..?"ask Ronald with a smile.


"Aduh bang bang Ronald smiled like this usually if at work his face stiff continues.."in my inner.


But I really have to admit that her smile is so sweet.


"Ah no one bang."I answered my own wrong behavior.


"What's the matter bang, Tumben came home...? search me.


"No, it just happened to pass.In front there are people selling the same moon martabak light so I buy it for you." he replied casually.


"Well, trouble my brother,"welcome me with condolences.


"So get in bang..?bargain me.


"Some time, I still have business." answered politely.


"Thank you for bringing the same moon light to the bang."


Bang Ronald just smiled then passed away using his big motorbike.


I stared at his back until it was lost in the crowd."Tumben bang Ronald being so sweet, wrong eat what ya.


Actually he is handsome.., any girl who sees must be klepek-klepek.Sad, his attitude is cold and too stiff.


I brought in the light of the moon as well as the martabak.


"Is that brother...?"asked Bani who suddenly appeared again behind me.


"Are you, bikin big brother aja deh.."sungut me.


"It's a shock, then don't dream too much.."sahutnya while grinning.


"Nih martabak is as bright as the moon," I bid as I opened his packaging box.


"Well good, thank God the sustenance of the righteous son" he replied with enthusiasm.


"Where is Ridwan...?"


"Not Ridwan's brother but Ronald's bang" I explained.


"Why can't it..?"ask her again while putting the light wedge of the moon into her mouth.


"She happened to pass by so stop by for a while" explained I who then participated in enjoying the delicious martabak telor.


"Sister Ridwan canceled coming here..?"


"Some, there's no news." I replied.


There was the sound of the roar of the motor stopped in front of the house.We who were still engrossed in eating with reflexes simultaneously looked at his direction.


It was from the moment Ronald left, the door didn't close again.


"That's the man" said Bani, turning her lips.


"Assalamualaikum, ." - Brother Ridwan.


"Wa alaikum salam." I replied in conjunction with Bani.


"Look brother,"tawar me.


"I brought the light of the moon with martabak." said Brother Ridwan while handing it over to me.


"Why is it the same..?"said Bani interrupted.


I looked towards Bani, I hope she understands my code.


"No, I'm just the same, this is also fitting we again eat martabak as bright as the moon that." said Bani with a smile made.


"If so, I eat into it, brother.."


Bani went straight inside while carrying martabak also bright moon that was brought bang Ronald.


Ridwan smiled at Bani's behavior, fortunately he did not ask any more questions.


"Which meaning...?"


"In the room again, rest in the room."I answered briefly.


"What do you want to drink...?" I tried to melt the awkward atmosphere between us.


"No need to bother, here I also buy juice." he said as he opened a plastic cup containing orange juice and avocado.


"Why don't you know if I like avocado juice as much as eating martabak and moonlight...?"ask me wonder.


"If you like the same person should know what he likes and what he doesn't."


" That's it...?reply me cuek.


"Libur next week, we go yuk.."he said.


"It's up to you where you're going, just relax..."


"Look at me later, sister, can anything not.." answered I was worried.


"If you can't, that's okay too.I don't mean you." he said calmly.


"Oh yeah, tomorrow you're in the morning shift right...?"


"Yes, why brother...?"


"When you get home from work, can you accompany me to the hospital for a while..?"


"Who's sick...?"ask me.


"My mom, after appendectomy.Can...?"


"Can you brother.But later I go home to take a shower first all change of clothes, when the sick people wear work uniforms.."my joke.


"Yes yes, the room will stink of your body."ledeknya.


"Huu.."that's why I heard the taunts.


"Why the hell, can't ya ....sehari just don't sneak me...?"I said put on a pouty face.


"No." Cut it up quickly while laughing.


"Based on guys.."umpat me.


Ridwan's sister quits her laughter, "a day doesn't bother you, despite her taste Yat."


" What's quiet...?"


"There is Amel who continues to chase brother, why not in response...?"


"Kasian son of a man, kak."I said at length.


"Who said the monkey boy was...?


"Emang feelings can be forced...?"


"No, no."


"Part of you are just insensitive" he replied with a style no less ketus.


"Oo that's it..?"reply I put on a bego face.


"It's a child." said Brother Ridwan in a soft voice of surrender.


"Well, I'll say yes..."


"I want to go to the hospital first take care of my mother tonight, send greetings to my mother and sister-in-law, yes."pointing Ridwan to Bani's room.


I just smiled back at her words.


I released the departure of Mr. Ridwan to the fence of the house until no longer visible shadows.


I step foot into the house not forgetting to close the door.


Bani approached with a smile.


"Select which one, brother...?tease her.


"What the hell...?I said pretending I didn't understand what he meant.


" Tortoise sister in the boat." she said with a laugh.


"Seriously this brother."


"Which one will you choose..?"


"If Bani noticed, Ronald's bang was a grown man just looks a little stiff anyway."


"Like the polar ice, cold" he said with a cold expression.


"Keep that Ridwan's brother...?"I asked him to know his opinion.


"If Ridwan's brother is rame, that's humorous."


"Where's sis...?"


"Who do you like...?"his insistence wants to know.


"That's Ban, I still haven't thought of."


Bani approaches, and embraces my shoulder.


"Dare to know that you still do not want to open your heart to accept the feelings of a man."


"Don't keep covering your feelings for anyone, don't turn off your own heart because of the past."


"So we don't deserve to be happy, we deserve to be happy with the people we love."


Her spirit while smiling.


Bani left me alone.


Everything Bani said is true.I deserve to be happy, we deserve to be happy without the shackles of the past.


Bani, it turns out that now you are an adult.


I started to have tears that started to drip.
