Tone & Sound
#30 [Chapter blue sky and five friends]
"The Sound..."
Someone who had been heard greeting from far away, was now in front of Tone and Sound. He seemed to be very happy when he looked at Sound.
"Mang Asep." Said the Sound.
After greeting each other, Bunyi and the person named Mang Asep then hugged. Like I was missing.
The tone only pays attention. He did not know Mang Asep.
"Where do you look now? Mamang thought Akang mah did not live in the Netherlands anymore" said Mang Asep after their embrace was over.
"I went to Jakarta, Mang.ngurusin Mama's orphanage. It was only Thursday yesterday that we got here." Clear Sound.
"Pantes aja atuh, never seen." said Mang Asep. Smirks. Patting Sound's shoulder.
Then Mang Asep switched to look at Nada.
"Danita, Mang. It's Nada, my boyfriend." Sound said. Smilingly.
Surprised tone. Even directly seeing the sound. The one seen even glanced with a myriad of other meanings or intentions.
But at this time, Nada was not even as usual who immediately protested or was upset that Sound was saying a no-no. Because this time, the look on Nada's face showed no signs of resentment. In fact, Nada immediately shook hands with Mang Asep.
Mang Asep nodded, also smiling. "If so, Akang same girlfriend please sit down. Let mamang make two servings of meatballs special."
"Don't forget the tea angelnya, Mang.." said Bunyi.
"Ready." replied Mang Asep. Eager.
Then Mang Asep stepped away. Leaving the Tone and Sound that was now stepping slowly towards one long wooden bench to the left of the shop. Right at the entrance to the small library.
In addition to many people who were seen eating their own meatballs, there are also those who are seen standing, pacing on the sidelines of the bookshelf. Some even stand while reading books as well.
And if examined, how can the concept of a shop, shop, or restaurant like this can be so integrated with the books? Tone pays clear attention to each part. Perhaps, this is called complementing each other. Even the two previously unthinkable things can be put together, will eventually unite also without any coercion.
"Wait here first, yeah, Lea.." said Beep. Step inside the bookshelf.
Tone sitting on a long wooden bench. Put the helmet next to it. And gazed towards the Sound that was picking up books.
What does that guy want? Think Tone. But when the thought was over, that very moment the Sound came back towards Nada. Bring a book in his hand.
"Wait for me? Afraid I'm leaving?" rayu Bunyi's. Sit beside Nada.
"No," replied Nada confidently.
"So why worry?"
"Gue was confused, why do I just know now that in Amsterdam it turns out there is meatballs." explained Nada.
Sound staring at Nada. Then turn to look ahead. And still seemed to be holding the book he had taken earlier.
"Mang Asep used to be Mama's worker. But three years ago, Mang Asep opened his own restaurant. And uniquely, he just select meatballs that are on the menu list. There's nothing else. If the library, I deliberately gave the idea that the restaurant is different from the others. After all, there's no harm in combining two very different things into one?" The sound brought his gaze closer to Nada. Smilingly. "Our kayak..."
"We?"
The sound is sure.
If only one strange question was worth saying in this moment, then that question was worth getting by Nada. Looky. What's wrong with her? He was not at all as upset as before. The beautiful woman in the 9th minor white dress was silent.
What Sound is right. There is no harm in combining two different things into one. Yes, because, sad and happy are two very different feelings. But humans often feel those feelings simultaneously. Iganla. People are too naive to talk about differences. In fact, from the differences that humans can learn how to behave mature to judge and appreciate something.
"Now, take it." Sound gave the book to Nada. The book he had taken from the mini library.
Nada accepts.
"The book is good" a smiling voice.
"From that book I learned how to be sincere, Lea. It's a gap for a loss." he added.
Tone saw the book. Which is now in his hands.
"From this book?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"But this is a horror book, it sounds."
Laughing sounds. "Where's the horror, Lea? Have you read it?"
Tone shook slowly. "Not yet, but in the past Mas Bara once said that this book is a horror book."
"Bara lied. It's not a horror book, Lea. It's an adventure book." It's clear.
"But even if it's a horror book, yes, it's, it's like losing something, Lea..."
Tone scrunched his forehead. "the same from him? Ngacos."
A little laugh. Close his face, "Same creepy..." His whisper.
Laugh again. Now turn his face away. Watch around. Meanwhile, Nada was silent. Hanging confusion on the end of his face. Look at the book in his hand.
Everyone has their own way of explaining or understanding something. And the man who was considered strange by Nada, who from the first time met often made Nada upset, maybe even almost all the time, there are many ways to explain things from a different perspective.
Nada stopped his attention to Enid Blyton's famous Five-Secure book. Which was given by Sound. The tone then looked around.
