Traveling to the Unseen Realm

53. Decker And Joshua

All day Ranvier seemed restless. How not, no one he knew in Indonesia he could contact.

" What the fuck !. No one picked up the phone and replied to my chat. Akmal, Erwin, Grandpa, Bang Tomi. The two temperatures also can't be connected...!" ranvier was upset.

Ranvier looked straight ahead. He thought hard about who else he should call. Ranvier seemed to smile thinly when he remembered the two people who lived with his Grandfather.

" Oh yes, Mr. Krishna and Mbok Rah...!" ranvier said enthusiastically.

A moment later he started dialing the mobile numbers of Krisna and Mbok Rah. But after waiting for a few minutes, the two people in question did not respond.

" What the hell is it. The satellite communications are problematic. This is between countries. If the two countries can not exchange information can morat-marit dong the country's economy..," murmured Ranvier upset.

Ranvier turned to his right and saw Decker talking to someone on his phone. He sees Joshua standing not far from Decker and calling someone. Ranvier believes that his two friends are talking to their families. Moreover, the dialogue of Joshua who is a native Japanese citizen was clearly heard in Ranvier's ears.

Decker and Joshua smiled as Ranvier approached them.

" Why is Lo's face so rich that Vier...?" joshua asked shortly after ending the phone conversation.

" Gapap. Who else is telephon...?" ask Ranvier.

" Family telephones in Japan. Mama said that I just proposed to my sister with her boyfriend. Maybe in two months they want a fiancee and next year a wedding." said Joshua with a beaming face.

" Well congratulations Josh. Soon will have a bangs dong..," joked Ranvier.

" It's still a long time Vier. Marriage is next year. Even though the era is already sophisticated, but the family I still collot Vier. An extramarital relationship is illegal. Therefore do not expect children born due to se* relationship outside marriage will be recognized by the family. They and their children will be thrown away. Keep the perpetrator se* free will be marked until he did not dare to appear at the family event..," said Joshua with a serious face mimic.

" Oh that. Are all the families in Japan rich like Josh...?" ask Ranvier.

" When other families I don't know Vier. Kan I said it's the rules in my family. I'm a colot anyway, but I'm grateful because it can make Kami who this younger generation can be careful in hanging out with the opposite sex." said Joshua with a smile.

" Agreed...!" sahut Ranvier made Joshua laugh.

" Does that mean Lo's same boyfriend Lo ga-ngapain Josh...?" decker asked suddenly as he patted Joshua on the shoulder from behind.

Joshua turned his head towards Decker while frowning.

" How do you mean Deck...?" joshua asked, not understanding.

" Lo said the rules of the Lo family were too bad. That's why I'm just like Lo's girlfriend Lo did it if she met...?" ask Decker.

" Yes talk. Especially...?" asked Joshua reluctantly.

" Don't believe me. We are normal guys. I'm not interested in doing this and it's the same boyfriend. It's kind of like a kiss or a fumble. Oops, I mean the same girlfriend herself you know, not someone else's girlfriend.", Decker said while holding back a laugh.

Joshua seemed uncomfortable with Decker's overly vulgar questions. Ranvier who understood also tried to mediate. He patted Decker on the shoulder and said.

" Everyone has a private domain that can't be shared with others Bro. So, there's no harm in respecting Joshua and his family's principles" Ranvier said wisely.

As if awakened, Decker turned to look at Ranvier and then looked back at Joshua.

" Lo bener Vier. Sorry Josh, joking I missed that," Decker said regretfully as he extended his hand toward Joshua.

Seeing Decker's regretful face and sincere intention to apologize, Joshua smiled. He nodded and welcomed Decker's hand. Joshua and Decker hugged each other tightly while laughing.

Watching his two friends reconcile, Ranvier smiled happily.

Ranvier understands Decker's dating style because Decker is an American citizen whose association is notoriously free. Maybe that's one of the reasons why Decker is difficult to believe in this era there are still couples who are dating without having sex*.

After Joshua and Decker broke down the embrace, they turned to Ranvier.

" Because you've omitted a wise sentence that makes us both not into war. Let's go to the cafeteria. I'll treat you to a full meal..," asked Decker.

" Seriously Lo...?" ask Ranvier.

" Yes..," Decker said quickly.

" Just Ranvier is the only one with Deck...?" ask Joshua sulking.

" You too, you don't have to cuddle with that dong Josh...!" sahut Decker.

Decker's words made Ranvier and Joshua laugh. Then they walked to the university canteen.

Later that night Ranvier again tried to contact his family in Jakarta. Luckily this time Ranvier got a welcome.

" Askelter Ranvier...!" greet the enthusiastic Grandpa.

" Wa alaikumsalam Grandpa. How's Grandpa there, all right...?" ask Ranvier.

" Thank God Grandpa is healthy. You are healthy yourself too. How's your college, there's a problem...?" ask Grandpa Randu.

" Alhamdulillah smoothly Kek. By the way why from yesterday I did not pick up the phone anyway Kek...?" ask Ranvier.

" That's what Grandpa asked. Why can't you be contacted for a week. Telephon or chat is also not reciprocated at all. Grandpa even told Krisna, Tomi, Erwin and Akmal to make your phone you know Vier..," said Grandpa Randu.

" The time is Kek...?" ranvier asked in disbelief, because as he remembered the people in Jakarta he could not contact.

Ranvier also remembered that this week he had never received a phone call, message or chat from people mentioned by his grandfather.

" Oh yeah. Did Grandpa get an invitation from Akmal Kek...?" ranvier asked, changing the subject.

" An invitation from Akmal, no. Does he want to make a wish ?. What massage...?" ask Grandpa Randu.

Ranvier was surprised to hear Grandpa's reply. He was increasingly concerned about Akmal's condition.

" Ranvier, you're still there right...?!" call Grandpa Randu from across the phone.

" Yes Kek..," said Ranvier quickly.

" Akmal's invitation earlier, you mean what is Vier...?" ask Grandpa Randu.

" It's nothing, Grandma. I'm kirain Akmal has started to spread the invitation. He said he wanted to be married this year. That's why I asked him directly to Kek..," said Ranvier.

" Yes, askin same Akmal ya Vier. Tell him Grandpa's angry if he's not invited. Two days ago, she came here but told me nothing about her marriage. Maybe he forgot. Akmal and Erwin must have understood how Grandpa was angry again.", Grandpa Randu said.

" Ready Cake. I close first, Kek, Assalamualaikum..," said Ranvier.

Ranvier appears frozen in place when he learns Akmal is not spreading the invitation at all. He also remembered the gray invitation card he received a few days ago.

Ranvier swiftly got up from his seat and rushed to the room to look for the gray invitation card.
