Waiting Morning

Letter from Beena

Akbar took the elevator to the destination in his messenger. It didn't take long to find Mary.

In the corner of the bar counter, women wearing a knee-length dress designed Louise Vuiton black without arms are enjoying the concoction of the bartender.

“ Mary..” shouted Akbar.

Mary immediately turned her head towards Akbar and waved her hand.

Akbar sits on a high bench next to Marry.

Mary downed her cocktail.

“ Want to drink what?”

“ Blue lagoon mocktail one, mas". Akbar said to the bartender.

" When in Semarang?” ask Akbar.

“ New come semalem. There is monitoring at this hotel”

“ How long?”

“ Just a week” Mary put down her drink.

Soon the bartender handed over Akbar's order.

" Thank you" Akbar told the bartender, and replied with a friendly smile.

“ Oh yes while I was in Semarang. You want me to go back?” Said Mary with a slight pushy look.

“ Can” Akbar chugging his drink.

“ But no one is jealous right?” marry asked, making sure that Akbar doesn't have a girlfriend.

Akbar shrugged his shoulders.

“ Mumpung you are in Semarang, later stop by the house huh. Definitely mommy happy”.

“ Are you sure?” Mary is excited, of course this is the right beginning to get to know the family of her loved ones.

Although until now, Mary has not declared her feelings to Akbar. But he was sure that Akbar would not disappoint him.

Before going to Akbar's house, Mary stopped at the Bakery shop at the hotel.

" Bar, briefly "Mary stopped her steps.

"What's wrong?"

" Mommy likes croissants?" ask Mary to Akbar while pointing towards the window that displays various pastries.

" Mommy likes all the pastry" Akbar replied as he walked into the cake shop.

Mary asked the waiter to wrap some of the pastry in the storefront.

Akbar walks with Mary to the cashier.

Akbar took out his wallet from his pants pocket.

" Bar, please "Mary asks to reinsert some money from Akbar's wallet.

" This time do not refuse my gift, this is also for the mother. Not for you"

Akbar realized his attitude was overdone on Mary. Of course Mary will feel dislike for her attitude this time.

"Sory, Mar. I just don't want to bother you"

"Hey, who's being bothered? I'm always the one who bothers you Bar"

Mary was still confused, how could the man she loved still think of her like a new person.

" This is not a bribe because you have to accompany me while in Semarang really"

Akbar smiled.

They immediately drove his vehicle towards Akbar's house.

On the way, Akbar introduced several destinations in Semarang that they passed.

" Mar, this is called the intersection of five or Pancasila square of Semarang city. So landmark and crowded on Sunday nights and mornings"

Mary just nodded her head, she was not so interested in tourist attractions like this. Because it's a little different from Mary's hedonistic habits. But not too bad, he still accepted the origin with Akbar.

They did not stop just looking from the window, enjoying the crowd of five intersections.

Akbar continued his journey.

"Well, if this is Lawang Sewu. "

Akbar showed his hand towards the ancient two-story building filled with doors and windows.

" No angker?"

"Well, if you are serem. From the physical already looks haunted hiiih..." Mary shuddered.

" Don't draw conclusions before looking directly at it" Akbar said.

"Ok just as long as there's you I want" Mary developed her beautiful smile.

After traveling for forty minutes, they reached Akbar's house.

The house is simple when compared to the house of the Bram general family. But it looks beautiful with some flower plants and hanging pots.

Arriving at Akbar's house, he was greeted warmly by Mother Ramy.

This is not the first time Mary has met Ramy's mother, having previously met at Akbar's graduation ceremony for her law degree in Jakarta last year.

At that time the graduation was only attended by Mother Ramy, because Akbar's father died while he was still sitting in High School. And his only sister Akbar was unable to attend because she was accompanying her husband who is a businessman from Singapore.

“ Afternoon bun”

“ Wow, nak Mary more beautiful aja” praise mother Ramy.

“ Thank you bun “ while handing over a line containing various pastries.

“ How to BOTHER Yes “

“ Oh yes bun, can greetings from Mami same Papi”

“ Say hello back from mom yes, come on.ayo in. Mother has cooked Akbar's favorite food. We had dinner with ya”. Take Ramy's mother to the dining room.

Mary glanced at Akbar then whispered,

“ I kebelet peed” Marry's facial features blushed holding back the contents of his urinary that mostly drink cocktail in Lounge Bar earlier.

Akbar walked towards Ramy's mother, “ for a while ya bun, Akbar between Mary dulue”, Akbar,

“Where?” ask the mother with a light

Akbar walked with Marry and then turned to look back and gave the code to Ramy's mother “ kebelet peed”.

Mother just a thin smile while shaking her head.

“ Use the toilet in my room only, I wait in the dining room ya” Akbar open the door of his room.

Mary ran straight to the toilet.

Finished emptying her bladder, Mary stared in amazement at Akbar's room. A masculine room with military knickknacks.

Some medals from the swimming championship are neatly arranged on the walls of the white room. There is a reading corner, with an elongated sofa near the window.

Mary walked to the bookshelf, holding several books with her index finger as if she were passing each book title . Mary picked up one book at random.

Khalid Bin Walid Biography by Manshur Abdul Hakim. Then on the front page, a hand-written greeting is pretty neat

...“Happy birthday.wish you all the best”...

...From me...

...Been...

Mary sat on the sofa, and grew more and more curious about the words on the cover of the book. Hopefully there is something he can find in the book about the giver of the book.

Who's Beena? He murmured in his heart.

“ Mar... “ call Akbar from the dining room.

Shocked by the sudden call, Mary placed the book with the origin on the table beside the sofa.

The book overrides a 6 R photo frame containing several random polarid photos. The photo was taken on scouting activities, seen some adorable poses some of the campers members.

There are some similar photos, a photo of Akbar with a hijab-wearing woman. One part of the photo that made Mary even more curious, Akbar was staring at the girl.

“ Mar...” call Akbar the second while knocking on his room door.

“ Yes..”

The call of times really should stop Mary's curiosity. He rushed to the door.

“ You're okay, right? “ ask Akbar.“Very long!” continued.

Mary shook her head, then walked out of Akbar's room.

“ Sorry...sorry... old mother wait for me?” ask Mary to Akbar while tidying up the dress.

Akbar pulled a chair for Marry, they sat next to him.

“ Let's eat son, sorry you know the food ala area”. Said Mother Ramy

“ Mary likes kok bun”.

The three of them finished their dinner cheerfully. Mother tells of Akbar's process towards his ideals. Never failed to enter Akpol and cadets Akmil in AD. I finally got in the Marines.
