Wrong Room

Wrong Room
Laughter and Grief



I still faintly heard Aldo's voice that giggled when I heard my curse on him, but in the end his voice was lost along with the door that I finally looked closely at.


Crush my body on my wife's dresser chair, drowsiness and fatigue disappear instantly. Plus see the condition of my bed that now looks collapsed like a former Dutch colony was Kutu Kupret earlier. There was not the slightest desire for me to ride in my division there.


I rogoh my pants pocket. I took a cell phone that I don't know how many hours it's been untouched. My life today has made me forget everything. There were several notifications, 5 missed calls and 4 WhatsApp messages. Silent mode makes me not know about my cell phone activities. 'My Wife' so the name of the owner of the call was missed and the WhatsApp message was. And there are 2 more WhatsApp messages from my colleagues which of course is not important I discuss here.


12.02


(Place Dzhuhur Mas, lunch truss yes 'emot kiss love') I smile. My wife is always active in sending chat during break hours.


13.00


I saw my wife calling me twice


15.30


(Uy Mas kuh! Busy as hell? Didn't you have any news? 'Emot moody face') Read the message of both there was a little guilt lingering in my heart.


15.33


(Emm, yes, I am busy. The important Azhar Prayer is guarded)


16.00


Three missed calls from my wife again.


16.15


(Mas, I'm going to Mom's. I'm just coming home tomorrow. If I could follow me! Really kangen! 'Emot kisses in a row') hmmm. If this seems like a hard code to ask for a good shot. Hehe! If I had read this message, maybe the dragon's palm strike and the style of my thousand-shadow kick would not have landed on Aldo's body.


The night is getting late. Reading her last message made my mind go back to looking far away, the perfect woman as if calling me to come quickly to see her for fun. Akh, I really miss this woman. Plus the sound of chattering and giggling that vaguely sounded from the next room made my male instincts mutter. Patience Rey! Sabarrr.... Uh, but by the way this aldo is taking off longing or again judo match anyway? A very stormy yak.

That time...


After dinner, Dad asked me to talk about something serious. And that night had gathered my Father, Mother, Meta My sister, and Ferdy my cousin who happened to come to spend the night at my house.


"Rey, do you remember Om Doni, the father's best friend who now lives in Surabaya?" ask me to open the conversation.


"Om Doni is handsome like Indro Warkob Artist is Yah? The one with the bushy mustache looks like Mr RT?" askaku.


"Yes, that's right." replied my father.


"Why Indro Om?? Uh, Om Doni means that?" manya curious.


"Emh, so gini Rey! I meant to set you up with Anita. His only daughter Om Doni. "for a moment Dad was silent. Trying to see my reaction. And I was silent, no reaction, no idea what to answer. On the one hand I am happy, no need to bother looking for a soul mate who has not yet appeared on the surface of the earth for me. But on the other hand I keep the prestige, the good-looking and well-established man whose face is 11-12 with Jefri Nichol can be a matchmaking wife anyway. What the world says.


"Anita is a good girl, a well-known graduate of Pondok Pesantren. I'm sure she can be Sholeha's wife to you later" Dad said, closing the conversation and still waiting for my reaction.


"I'm sorry Dad, not that I refused but I. "not finished I spoke sound crisp sound Meta.


"Ahhhh Mas Rey, that's it! Don't be panic-stricken, pretentious shocked, pretentious unwilling. Tell me twilight, will be released tuh title Jomblo Hakiki." said Meta fiery.


"Eh rancid boy, who says I'm single. There's my boyfriend. You're the one who doesn't know." I said as I glared at him.


Once I shot a girl.


"Kinan, can I ask for a moment? There's something serious I want to say to you." I asked at the time.


"Of course you can, what's Rey?" ask Kinan directly.


"Kinan, we've been in office for a long time. We also know each other very far. I know you don't have a boyfriend. So do I, if I were to ask for our relationship to be one level more than a friend would you like to?" ask me frankly, confidently and steadily. I saw her eyes sparkling, a beautiful smile on her red lips. Yet it was only for a moment, suddenly his face was gloomy.


"Honestly, I'm happy to hear this Rey! But I'm sorry, I can't" he said with a very soft tone of voice.


"Why?" I said with disappointment.


"You're handsome Rey, son of a respected man. As for me, I am an ordinary woman. I'm not ready if one day you become a kite break, or even I won't be able to if I have to become the captain of a broken ship" he said.


"God Kinan, I can't possibly be like that, believe me. We'll go first, okay?" I said reassuring. But he just fell down and stood up and passed.


"Mum Mas Rey is silent. Knowing again lying, Meta you know Mom that Rey mas is Singles. Sunday night always at home, uh ever been out Sunday night. But same with Mang Kosim. Find the Crickets" chirped Meta again. Disperse my daydreams about Kinan back then.


"Hey, Meta. Your brother is a handsome man who holds fast to Islamic culture. There is no story mojok-majokan model of yours" answered me in self-defense.


"Silith, alesan!" meta said again. Eventually we both got into a fight, the atmosphere became a little boisterous.


"Yes already If indeed Rey does not want later Dad can explain to the Om Doni Family, well even though the family there has agreed all. But if Rey doesn't want to, we can't force it" Dad said, breaking us up, then stood up.


"Okay then, I want to call Om Doni first" move Dad walked to pick up his phone.


"Don't yahhhhh! I want yah!" I said out loud and made all eyes suddenly look at me. Silence, silence, look at each other, and... Break their laughter. I who have lost face, endure shame.


"Huuuu shamelessly wanted to" Meta said mocking me. And was greeted with laughter that was breaking.


After negotiating and getting a deal, we finally went back to our rooms. The decision I made, I don't care what Anita looks like anymore. The most important thing right now is... Marrying...


When I got to the door of my room, Ferdy who was walking behind me greeted me.


"So you've never dated before" she asked in disbelief.


"Why did Fer come?" i said wonder.


"Yes papa Rey, just a little surprised. You're well established, handsome again, even one woman no one wants to be with you." continued Ferdy.


"Ga know what Fer is, every time I shoot a girl, they don't believe me. There was even one girl who said that I was a stump crocodile. Dih, I usually say crocodile. I never had a date" I explained enthusiastically.


"Miris" said Ferdy as he looked at me with a clear face.


"Lho why is miris. Relax Fer! A soul mate isn't going anywhere" I'm sure.


"Miris is the same Joni. Life with you 30 years turned out to be just peeing on you" said Ferdy grinning as he passed away leaving me.


"Weeee, this is it! Tenan kiddo iki's cricket."
