Why Different?
The Fate of Insight
At 12 p.m., Juan found Reno back in the room with an unwelcome appearance. Salem shirt that the man was wearing looked tangled, the top three buttons open so that it showed a white underwear, two-toned hair was disheveled, disheveled, while the musty smell of cigarette smoke emanates so clearly from his body.
With such a state of confusion, they could not go straight home. So Juan took the initiative to hold out a drink, telling his cousin to first wash his mouth with a new cigarette using mineral water that he gave.
The man just complies. With a super-slow movement like a human who no longer has any power, Reno sat on the sofa with him, chugging the mineral water as if he had been thirsty after so long.
There was no comment Juan made, he just patiently waited until Reno finished drinking.
“Ju,” great-granddaughter Reno after putting a bottle of mineral water on a glass table in front of them. The man then turned his head, allowing Juan to see how no twinkle had been emitted from his cousin's netra. “Did I kidnap ya Clarissa, keep me pregnant, let her no reason not to accept me again?”
Hearing that crazy proposal, Juan practically glared. Love is love, but don't act crazy! “Astagfirullah, Reno, Istighfar lo!” yells. With ease, he thumped Reno's shoulder to make the little guy stagger.
“Astaghfi—eh! We're christians!” Reno reflexively stopped his words. He almost obeyed Juan's desire to take up the bar. “This is the same courting effect of Zahira, so mix the language lo. Who just called the name of the Father, beware istighfar. God is also confused, Ju, look at the behavior of lo.” He continued to grumble.
The mention of Zahira made Juan snort annoyed. This is not the first of Reno's. The man has often discussed the matter of Zahira as well, even proposing himself to convert so as not to bother thinking about the love story of different religions.
Juan who was not essentially pious was very tempted, but then he realized that converting was not as easy as it seemed. His opponent is the whole family! If reckless, maybe he will end up castrated even before he could say the word shahadah.
Long inaudible sound from the two, which appeared first even a loud snort from Reno. The man then took out a cigarette from inside his pants pocket, about to light it up.
“Do not smoke in the room.” Prevent Juan. Wrap the cigarette he snatched, then he put it in a slightly rough motion onto the glass table. “Lagian lo already smoking a lot to your body smell of tobacco. Lo know? Lo kayak out shower water immersion tobacco.”
Reno throttled, her gaze falling on her confiscated cigarette pack. Want to protest, but the power seems to have run out of nothing. Last time Juan pounded him hard enough he didn't retaliate, did he? It was because he already did not have the energy to create the fistfight.
While Reno was silent lamenting his cigarette, Juan took the initiative to get up first. To be able to fly to Singapore tomorrow at dawn, they must go home immediately in order to sleep well. After all, there is no benefit in also silence lamenting the fate of their love that is equally complicated.
Juan walks to Reno's desk, kindly picking up the man's car keys, wallet and cell phone, which he accidentally left there while the owner was out smoking. Accidentally, Juan noticed that there were a lot of missed calls coming from Mami when Reno's phone screen lit up, instantly making her grimace.
“Ren,” call him slowly. His footsteps automatically came to a halt near the glass table, where Reno was still smoking her cigarette.
The so-called raised head, not expecting that what Juan was going to say next managed to land him in a mild heart attack.
“35 missed call from Mom. Like, tonight, we're going to die.”
...----------------...
Die. A scary word, at least for some people. If for Juan anyway, that word is not scary at all. Death is like a keyword, which he and his Pain Killer friends will say whenever life feels very bastard to live.
But tonight, for the first time, Juan was afraid he was really going to die.
His arrival and the late Reno are met with sharp glances by Mami. The woman stood in the main doorway, ruffled her waist and her eyes kept moving up and down scanning her appearance and Reno in turn.
In this mansion, Mami was on the highest throne. The woman was feared by all family members, except her cheating husband.
The reason was obviously because Mami was too bar-barous. The scene where the woman drowned the face of a mistress into a pot of boiling water was not the only one that was creepy. Not long ago, maybe about 3 months ago, a young woman came to the big house with a battered facial condition. The woman demanded compensation, because she said Mami had made her face like that.
After getting a mouthwash, it turns out that the young woman is the new mistress of her father Reno, who, and the wound on her face was the result of Mami's unmerciful beating on her face using whatever objects she found when she caught her husband making out with the woman.
At the end of the day, they have to spend money, but Mami does not mind at all because the money in her account will not run out just because it has to compensate.
“Why just got home?” ask the woman.
“You know, right, if tomorrow dawn we have to fly to Singapore?”
“Tahu.” Again, Reno answered briefly. As if he did not care if tonight he would be the next victim of the mother.
“So there's a little problem in the office, Mi, so it's late.” Before the atmosphere became increasingly tense, Juan opened his voice. “Sorry, yes, Mi.” The connection while showing puppy eyes wishes Mami would be kind enough to let them go this time.
Mami looked at Juan long enough, then sighed before shifting her body position. “Log in. Up to the room, keep sleeping.” directly Tell the dominant woman.
Juan nodded obediently, in contrast to Reno who did not even react to anything, as if deaf.
Seeing that, Juan was annoyed. Taking away humanity, she drags Reno's arm, exerting all the energy she has to bring the man into the house before the real Mami turns into a psychopath.
“Least-“
“Shut up first, shut up. Later in the room. You don't see that Mami has started to change from a psychopath, huh? You want us both dead tonight? Da? Don't you want to fight anymore for Clarissa?” with a super slow voice.
Another keyword specifically to calm Reno is Clarissa. Evidently, the rancid boy immediately fell silent and according to after that name he called.
“Ju,”
“What?!”
“Gue seems to really want to kidnap the Clarissa deh.”
“Not to be crazy.”
“Udah is crazy.”
“Ist—nebut lo, remember God!”
“But it's okay Ju if making a child first, will I still marry the tip Clarissa.”
“Let your child be an illegitimate child, want to lo?”
“Ish! How do I keep?”
“Tahajud there, ask God for directions.”
“Si bastard!”
And so it continues. They were still mocking each other about the fate of their romance that was sad even until the two arrived on the 2nd floor and prepared to go into the room.
They don't know, if the absurd conversation was all heard by Mami, who quietly followed to make sure the pair of cousins actually went into the room and slept.
“Ha... basic young.”
