There is No Need for Love

There is No Need for Love
Back to Jakarta



The time has finally come. Yesterday there was a welcoming event, today the delivery event, children to parents are equally crowded in the port, their destination to take Risda and Asrul home to Jakarta. Their service period is over.


Risda looked unsettled, there were two faces he was looking for, Meylani and Mr. Nas. But, none of Risda met, until the tears of all, especially the mother's mother took between Risda and Asrul boarded Pak Buang's boat, only a wave was left, but the, it was lost when the boat entered the bend.


Risda was now sobbing, there was a sense of sadness that stuck directly into her heart, Risda continued to bow and sob sob, Asrul let it go, Asrul felt, let Risda will be better, later in time, in time, when he is satisfied, everything will go away.


The most sad Risda actually is Meylani, want to see the little boy's face before Risda really left, but Risda did not find it at all, Risda knew that Meylani was sick, and she was very sick, but Risda couldn't see him yet.


Even though after boarding this boat, it will be very difficult or even impossible for Risda to come to this remote village, it seems impossible for her whole life to meet Meylani.


“We are really going back to Rul ?”.


Asrul chuckled. “Are you not happy we are back in Jakarta ?”.


Risda. “Gua misses Mama”.


Asrul laughed again. “Do you think the cave is not Ris ?. Already three years not heard the scolding of mama, of course miss the cave, time is not ?”.


Risda shakes. Even if you want to give examples, not also with the word scolding, there are many other words that are more appropriate. But, it is also true, Risda is sad to leave the interior that for three years has been her residence.


But Risda also admitted the joy of re-hugging and sleeping in her mother's caress. It was actually quite able to close the sadness of Risda, now that filled Risda's head even the smile of her mother.


Risda finally laughed a little, but her tears were still flowing profusely. “Mama already how ?, is she healthy just?”.


Asrul bobbin head. “Mama gua mah sadis, one of the words aja play tabok”.


Risda stared at Asrul, returning a thin smile, shaking her head again. “Ngatain mom herself sin lu Rul”.


Asrul shrug. “Emang your future in-laws are so, yes indeed gitu”.


Finally Risda was not strong anymore, even though he was on a boat, Risda really did not care anymore, hundreds of his fists now landed on Asrul's shoulder, Asrul could only duck by holding his head, resigned.


Mr. Buang and his two friends just smile, the three are increasingly convinced that these two young teachers have a special relationship, three years together in the interior is certainly able to give birth to many things, he said, as people say, cinlok, love location.


Until, the boat has docked at the sub-district port, Risda and Asrul greet Buang and two friends, then down, the sub-district people have been waiting, even there are other groups that first arrived, even, including the Wiwik group.


The women immediately screamed and chased each other, hugged and similarly jumped, long time did not meet making everything look so carefree. The men just greet each other and pat the shoulders.


After everything arrived, crowded together with the district party ride a pickup car to the capital of the district, the road that is not right often makes those who become passengers almost fall, but there is only laughter, but there is only laughter, very cheerful, until the journey is not felt, has reached the district capital.


There the commotion of the women repeated again, all chasing each other, hugging and the same jumping again. Here everything is complete, thirty teams, or sixty people have gathered. This will be easier, because the regent is willing to prepare a plane ticket to the provincial capital.


Until just a few hours later, the entire group was already on a ship that would take them across the ocean to the port of Merak. The condition is still the same, which women do not also finish the storm, while the male is still with his academy.


Risda was surprised when Asrul approached her, but Wiwik was also on the same ship, but Risda still gave a smile as well, and let Asrul sit close to her, even very close, to her, until their shoulders meet each other.


“How are you doing Ris ?”.


Risda immediately nodded. “What the hell is Rule ?”.


“Emang you don't see ?”.


“Gua also wants to hear directly from lu”.


Risda increasingly shook his head, he saw Asrul more and more unreasonable, the new time this morning the same from the interior, just a few hours away was the news, what try ?, strange according to Risda.


“Lu far away napa Rul. Cave does not want to spray ama Wiwik ya”.


Asrul. “Lu want to know who your friend is ?”.


Risda. “Emang what ?”.


Asrul stood up and pulled Risda's hand, although initially rebellious, but Asrul's energy was much stronger, so Risda stepped with her hand still firmly held by Asrul, both of them headed upwards, so that she could not help but walk, to the ship bridge.


Risda. Can not say anything more, what he saw made Risda die of fleas, seen Wiwik so casually leaning his body on the chest of the man, and the man hugged Wiwik from behind, the hands of both of them clinging to Wiwik's stomach, obviously everything, were very clear.


Risda instead chose to go down, Asrul like chasing behind, the two returned to their original place, now not sitting side by side again, but sitting opposite each other, staying close, proof that the two lutu they met each other.


“That's really Wiwik right Ris ?, not another”.


Risda nodded her head. “Wiwik has no twin”.


“That Wiwik you always say faithful, proof what ?”.


Risda bobbing head. “Then you want a cave replace Wiwik, so ?”.


Asrul shook his head. “Gua emang dear lu Ris, cave emang love to you, this has nothing to do with your best friend it”.


Risda sneers. “Belagu”.


Asrul gave a long sigh. “Gua want how to nyampein to you if the cave is really dear. Lu ajarin cave is Ris, so can actually live with lu”.


Risda stood up. “Cotty cave, so dizzy see lu Rul”.


Asrul just stared at Risda who passed and joined the other girlfriend and really fell asleep. Risda could not give anything to Asrul, many considerations that Risda had to understand.


Risda knew that Asrul came from a luxurious family that was thousands of times different from her, an orphan who only had a very simple mother, not to mention their different beliefs, according to Risda, it is wrong if he loses and dissolves with it, he is not his type Asrul, less worthy of Asrul.


It was still early in the morning, when all were awakened by the strong trumpet of the ship that was about to lean. Everything is ready with each default, even many have begun to lead to the exit when the ship has just managed to lean.


Yes, Risda and his friends have arrived at the port of Merak, there is a great sense of joy for everyone, especially all who come home today are welcomed by their respective families, Risda no longer saw Asrul who was busy looking for him.


Natalia had even been almost two hours in the harbor to wait for Risda to come home, once down from the ship Risda immediately saw her mother who stood alone, Risda certainly smiled widely and immediately chased after her mother.


Natalia who saw Risda chasing after him just stood waiting, but her hand she stretched. Risda immediately dropped her bag and hugged her mother Natalia tightly, of course there were tears, very fast even.
