Because Amen is the Same
6. Workshop

This morning Viona was entrusted to find work by bringing her own motorcycle, a motorcycle given that was a used motorbike from her brother Rifal.

"Vio, this morning just use the Rifal motorbike to make it good to find a job" said Heti's mother.

Viona ya who still enjoy the bread immediately stop chewing, "motor car aja bun" bargained Viona.

"In order not to be spoiled" his mother answered briefly and then drank the sign of ending her morning breakfast.

Viona nodded at her mother's answer. After finishing breakfast he paid to return to find work using his brother's motorcycle. From one company to another he put in a file making him tired and sultry with the sun getting hotter.

"Tut tut tut" Viona's motor sounds with a slight jolt.

"Wow strike this" muttered Viona and rightly immediately stopped, "hhmmm, gini was told to bring a butut motor" He came down from the motorbike and guided his motorbike down the highway in the hope that around there was a workshop.

Viona was full of sweat and occasionally paused for a moment to gather power pushing her motor. It has been about 500 meters but has not got a workshop as well, turning left right in the hope that there are people passing by to just ask, but the results are nil.

"Why no one passes let one man yes, this is a sign of good or bad. ahhh already, think without stepping is useless" muttered Viona then he again sighed and threw it away quickly and then pushed back the motor.

"Spirit of spirit" Viona cheered herself up.

"Pip pip pip" motor horn from back direction.

"Hmmmm. don't want to go through it" said Viona.

"Pip pip pip" horn the second time.

"Dad" annoyed Viona then he turned his head with a little squinting his eyes because of the glare in the sun.

"Ray" Viona said with a bit of shock, "eehh" he continued.

"Why motor?" Ask Ray.

"Betting" replied Viona briefly.

"Ohh, can I help you?" Fresh Ray.

Viona with a forced smile because it is not good-natured "thank you, but do not need to still be able to push".

That innocent answer made Ray smile instantly, "it's no problem, but maybe it's my sustenance too" Ray replied.

"meaning?" Viona asked not understanding.

"I have a workshop around here" he said again.

"Ohh yes" Viona's response was quick to hear the word workshop, in Viona's ear like a glass of water for a thirsty person.

"Yes, or am I calling the tow truck?" haggle Ray again.

"Ehhh.. Don't" ban Viona by slightly waving her hand quickly.

"It's been" Ray said briefly making Viona frown.

"meaning?" Ask back to Viona who does not understand.

"That's a tow truck, save the bike later they bring it and you come with me"

"Follow" repeated Viona, "what is it, right now I need help again" he continued to batin and then he carefully rode on the bike Ray.

The journey was quite far from what Ray said, on the bike no one started talking.

Ray is busy with his thoughts as well as with Viona, especially when Ray first hugged Viona using a motorbike.

"You've been waiting in front of the mosque?" Just asking to break the silence.

"Yes" Viona replied briefly.

"The question, the time he had forgotten.The feeling from yesterday-yesterday met now even asked about it" monologue Viona.

While Ray heard Viona's short answer was just a beard. He was confused to ask what else just to melt the atmosphere, while the words in the brain were empty.

During the journey to the workshop even to the front of the workshop no one started the conversation. Silence!!. That's what happened between the two.

"Lhoo" points to Viona spontaneously

"When sick, so examined" replied Ray then he road to his workshop followed by Viona from behind.

Arriving, Ray told Viona to sit down, "Please sit down" Ray said politely and Viona nodded with a smile and sat down.

"Thank you" Viona said.

The workshop person immediately turned to look at Ray and Viona alternately, only this time the boss brought a woman who was piggybacked directly.

"Who?" Ask one of them.

"Do not know" replied one of them.

"Possibly girlfriend"

"Oohh"

They were still discussing the boss suddenly came a female who was dressed quite courteously and gently.

"Hi all" he said kindly.

"Hi too" they answered except for Ray.

"Ray's having lunch?" He asked despite being ignored by Ray.

Ray immediately turned to another place with a lazy smile. Viona who saw what was happening in front of her eyes was currently confused

"Eehh please sit down" Viona softly told the woman.

"Thank you" he said and sat down.

After he sat there was more silence than before. Ray told everyone working in his workshop to buy lunch.

"Lunch outside and here's money" he said, spending a few red money.

The employee smiles happily and receives the money, "what fortune today, oohh may be the arrival of the former" inner employee.

All the employees of the workshop knew the former boss, only since breaking up with Ray had begun to change his appearance from the lack of materials had begun to close and the language had begun to be polite.

At once Ray's workshop was silent from the sound of tools to repair cars and motorcycles. Viona began to be confused by seeing the motor has not been repaired and stored away.

Viona turned to look at Ray and ventured to ask.

"When will my bike be repaired?" Ask politely.

"After lunch" replied Ray and went back to silence.

At that time the former Ray just sat quietly between Ray and Viona.

"Ra lunch yu!" Take him and Ray quickly shook his head.

"Ra, why always hide your feelings, I was wrong to not think you exist" said Gladis.

*Flashback*

Gladis and Ray date since High School, but after college Gladis changes and does not consider Ray anymore as his girlfriend.

Gladis instead says that he will never return to Ray at any time. Gladis instead chose his affair that always invited him every day to campus.

Ray was down. How not, he loved Gladis very much even though he sometimes spoke rude even so unfortunately he was willing to defend Gladis in front of his parents who raw refused the arrival of the woman. Ray is willing to leave the house just to keep him, but what he can do is not Gladis do the same thing but cheat and go with his affair.

"Friend Rendra?" Ask Gladis.

Viona immediately turned to look at the face of the woman beside her, "me?" Viona asked back while pointing at herself.

"Yes, Rendra's friend?" Repeatedly again.

"Sorry, who's Rendra?" Ask Viona back just heard that name.

"Ohh, meet me Gladis" he said with a smile as he extended his hand to Viona.

"Viona" said Viona after receiving the hand of Gladis.

"Have been here long?" Ask Gladis again kindly.

"Lumayan, my bike suddenly broke down on the road" replied Viona as she pointed at the blind motor.

"Why keep that butut bike? I mean why not buy a new motorbike, it's an antique motorbike" Gladis fastened and then he turned to the side where Ray was, and it's true that Ray was looking at him sharply.

"It hasn't changed" Ray's inner self.

It does not feel the time has shown at 2 pm, all employees return to work. After Viona finished asking for the cost of repairing her motorcycle.

"Sorry where did it pay?" Viona asked innocently to the person who fixed the motor

The employee just silently looked at Viona for a moment and then he aimed for a place to pay. Viona followed the direction of the person's finger and Viona directly opened her mouth forming the letter O.

"Don't see that" said Viona then he left and the person who heard it all shook their head.

"Did he just come in this workshop?" Ask one of them.

"I think I just saw the woman" replied one of them.

"From his guts he's a new man" one of the others said.

"True" the other person justifies the words of his friends.

Viona after paying him straight out of the workshop, he was eager to thank Ray but since the bike was fixed Ray was not in his seat along with Gladis.

On the other hand, Ray and Gladis again had lunch due to the coercion of Gladis himself. Although Ray had no love for Gladis, he could not make Gladis constantly ask him just to have lunch with him.

"Done, we go for a walk" asked Gladis again.

"Where?" Ask Ray.

"As usual" Gladis replied casually with a smile.

Ray saw the smile frankly his heart gradually returned to flowery although not as it used to be when they were dating.

"Okay" Ray replied.

Ray and Gladis get back out together after a long time they break up and do not meet. Ray carried the motor silently without opening the word as usual.

Gladis who does not like to be quiet and try to get back to Ray, then he was also back to melt the atmosphere.

"I'm sorry Ra" he said and hugged Ray's waist on the bike.

Ray is silent a thousand languages.

"Rendra forgive me" he repeated.

"Yes" replied Ray and then kept quiet.

"Anything right, isn't there a next sentence?" Ask Gladis expectantly.

"What do you mean?" Ask Ray back.

"I miss the old Ra" said Gladis again.

Ray immediately smiled disappointed and even he laughed on the motorcycle laughing at himself who used to be so stupid to choose Gladis compared to his parents.

"I was a fool to have chosen you and stayed away from my parents" he said, leaving Gladis silent for a moment.

"That feeling is a little still there, but to return is already unable. Moreover, my parents have rejected it outright first" Inner Ray on the motor

"I'm sorry" Gladis said. I don't know how many times Gladis said sorry since on the bike.

"Forget it" Ray replied again then kept quiet.

15 Minutes later, Ray parked his motorcycle in a special parking lot in the area on the beach. Gladis is waiting for Ray.

They walked side by side on the beach, occasionally the sound of waves hitting the naked feet of both. Ray walks with Gladis but his mind is elsewhere.

"Ra, why did it change?" Ask Gladis again.

"meaning?" Ask Ray back.

"So quiet"

"Oh" replied Ray lazily dizzy and returned the way without any special refraction from the two of them.

Gladis deliberately invites Ray to talk freely, but all of that is hindered by Ray's cold attitude.

"Ra stopped at the front gazebo" Gladis pointed and Ray just nodded.

Gladis deliberately chose the gazebo to enjoy the wind despite the heat. They sat quietly with a view towards the sea.

Ray's phone rang, he answered the phone.

📞"Why?.. how many?. next time if he comes do not pay... regular customer" said Ray across the phone with a slight smile.

"Who?" Gladis asked after seeing Ray turn off the phone.

"Customer" Ray replied briefly.

"Customers are free" said Gladis again.

"It's my business with the employees, it's none of your business" Ray replied, leaving Gladis silent for a moment.

"Okay, I won't ask any more questions about it" Gladis said, pausing his sentence slightly and taking a slow breath before continuing, "Can we now talk about our problem?" Connect with questions.

"Our problem?, since when do you and I have a problem?" Ray asked with a distant look in the middle of the sea.

"Ra, we're back to what we used to be" Gladis said.

"It used to be different now" replied Ray again.

"Give me a chance Ra, I've changed Ra" Gladis said.

Ray laughed disappointedly, "be honest with yourself, living in the pretense is tired".

"You mean, I'm not seriously changing for the better?, your Evil Ra" said Gladis then he kept silent and hoped in silence, Ray would start the word.

Ray silently stared at the ocean waves. He almost forgot that tomorrow morning he was going to fly to Korea to meet his parents.

"I almost forgot" he muttered and walked away.

Gladis watched Ray leave, got up from his seat and chased after Ray.

"Ray wait, goddamn it" Umpat Gladis was annoyed at being abandoned.
