BROMOCORAS
The Meeting with Arya

In the same morning in a different place with a different atmosphere as well. In a street stall there were two young men who seemed to be talking between the noise of dangdut songs from the radio played loudly by the owner of the stall.

"Hmmm, I see you're starting to feel at home." Say one young man to another.

"At home, Yes." The young man whom the other young man spoke to looked a little grumbling.

"Already, Hexa. You have to be patient first. Okay!" Sahut the young man to the young man who was none other than Hexa while patting Hexa's shoulder.

"Hmmm, you're good at talking about it. I am the one who walks this." Hexa grouse again.

The young man opposite Hexa then laughed. Then he stopped his laughter and stared at Hexa.

"That's why your cheek? Looks like it got hit? Who did it?" Ask the young man then.

"Already, Arya. It's nothing." Sahut Hexa while shaking her hand at the interlocutor she called Arya.

"Hmmm, yes yes. I hope it's nothing." Sahut Si a young man named Arya was then.

"Oh, yes, Hexa. Yesterday I met Armel." Arya said later.

Hearing the name Armel was mentioned by Arya, Hexa immediately turned her gaze quickly and stared intently at Arya.

"Then did you guys have a chat?" Ask Hexa then.

Arya smiled wryly. "Four but not much."

"What's he talking about?" Tanya Hexa hunt.

Arya laughed at Hexa's impatient expression.

"Hexa Hexa, you must expect her to talk about you or ask you, right?" Guess Arya then.

Hexa turned her gaze away, "Not really."

"That's it, you don't have to lie." Arya said afterwards while slightly curling her lips.

"He did ask you about your news. He actually wants to meet and talk to you a lot." Imbuh Arya later.

"Talk to me? What does he want to talk about? Did he tell you?" Tanya Hexa is still hunting.

Arya waved her hand, "No! He doesn't talk about what he wants to talk about. He just said there's a lot he wants to talk to you about." Aryan Sahut.

For a moment Hexa did not reply, she only then bowed and sighed heavily.

"Why?" Arya asked who saw the change in Hexa.

"Honestly, Yes. I also want to meet him very much. No need to meet, just seeing it is enough. But once I thought it felt like it would just make my pain even more pronounced again, Yes." Sahut Hexa later.

"Hmmm, does that mean you don't want to talk to her anymore?" Arya asked to make sure.

Hexa slightly raised her shoulders, "Come on, yeah. I don't want to be a bully in relation to that choice. What else does he want to talk about, huh? It feels like there's nothing more to talk about." Hexa with a heavy voice.

Arya then simply patted Hexa on the shoulder, "Keep it, Hexa. One day something better came for you."

Hexa only then smiled hearing Arya's words.

Meanwhile, at the Ajimukti place. Ajimukti still enjoys his chat with Manan, Sobri, Khalil and Imam. But shortly after, Khalil also the Imam was seen glancing at the clock.

"Record, Gus. I am the same Imam must say goodbye first. Go to the market. It just so happens that there are some necessities that we have to buy." Khalil said after that.

"Oh, yes, Kang. Anu, all of you smoke cigarettes, Kang." Sahut Ajimukti while seen reaching for money in his pocket.

"Just use this, Gus. There just happens to be." Sahut Imam's.

"Here, no, Kang. This is all." Say Ajimukti while thrusting money towards the two of them.

They only then receive the money.

"Two packs are common, Kang."

"Snake, Gus." After saying goodbye, they passed from the courtyard. While the chatter in the courtyard of the pesantren mosque is still continuing.

After a while on foot, hit the blazing morning sun that began to feel its sting. Khalil also the Imam arrived at the market. They first buy the Ajimukti deposit before finding a need for them.

"You guys look like santri huh?" Greet someone from behind them when they are in front of a market fringe store.

Khalil quickly turned his head and found a man in a black T-shirt with jeans and a pair of jeans. Judging from his appearance, this young man still seems to be a resident of this area because he is so memorized by the views of the santri Pondok Hidayah.

"really. We santri Pondok Hidayah. Who is this Sampeyan?" Ask Khalil later.

The young man smiled, "Include, I am Arya. I happen to be a monitor." Said the young man named Arya while sticking his hand inviting acquaintance.

Without a doubt Khalil and the Imam welcomed Aryan's hand.

"Khalil."

"Priest."

"So long ago Mas Mas nyantri in the pesantren?" Ask Arya later.

"Emmm, the road's about eight this year." Sahut Khalil threw a smile.

Arya then nodded her head.

"What I hear from people, now the nanny is young. Is that true?" Ask Arya again.

"Yes, that's right. The nanny is very young now. Still our age. But his insight is far above us." Sahut Khalil thereafter.

"Emmm, so yes. If I could know whose name is?" Ask Arya again.

"We used to call him Ajimukti. Gus Aji's. But when he was in Jogja many called him Gus Aufa." Khalil was after that.

"Hmmm, Jogja huh?" Arya muttered while nodding her head.

"Alright, alright. Nice to meet you guys." Arya said later.

Khalil just then throws a smile.

"Send my regards to your Gus." Arya said afterwards.

"Well, we'll say God willing. Then we'll excuse Mas Arya." Khalil said later.

Arya just nodded. Khalil and the Imam passed by to buy what they were looking for.

"It seemed like he was chatting." Tegur Hexa who came out from the side of the store in Arya.

Arya just smiled.

"What was that conversation?" Ask Hexa then.

"Just acquaintance." Aryan Sahut is short.

"You know them?" Imbuh Arya after.

"Near familiar no. Just know it. His name is Khalil and Imam. Those seniors in the pesantren are also khodam." Sahut Hexa's.

"Well, you better get back to the pesantren. Worrying that they're showing up here." Arya said later.

"Yes, I want to go back too." Sahut Hexa while starting to swing her legs leaving the place. Arya just then smiled and also passed from that place, opposite the direction of Hexa.

While walking towards the motorbike, Arya again met with Khalil and Imam. Arya greeted them both.

"Where are you going, Mas?" Ask Khalil later.

"You're just muter, Mas. His intention was to find work but it was half dead." Arya complains of stale bases.

"Indeed, Mas. The difficult situation is further complicated by the difficulty of finding work." Sahut Khalil thereafter.

"Yes, Mas. I think the idle was delicious, it was even more unpleasant." Kelakar Arya while slightly chuckling.

"We'd better have a chat while we have a better coffee, Mas. That's if you two aren't hunting." Imbuh Arya after.

"Emmm, so is it okay, Mas Arya. Coincidentally in our pesantren there is also no activity after this." Khalil Sahut.

"Then we can make coffee at the stall there, Mas." Point Arya at one of the stalls not far from where they are currently.

Khalil just nodded then walked after Arya, while the Imam just kept tailing behind Khalil.

"Coffee three, Kang." Arya cried to the seller when they were in the shop.

"Loh, Mas Arya was the same..."

Arya immediately cut off the seller's words by sticking her index finger in front of her mouth. The seller was silent and did not continue his speech, then immediately made coffee orders Arya.

"Looks like you're here a lot huh, Mas Arya?" Ask Khalil later.

"Yes, Mas. Almost every day." Arya lit a cigarette.

Khalil just nodded.

"If every day means getting to know young people who also often hang out here, Mas?" Ask the Imam to arrive.

Arya slightly frowned. "Young man? What's name?" Ask Arya later.

"Hexa." Answer the Imam briefly.

Arya slightly swallowed. Just at that time the coffee seller came to deliver their coffee order.

"Well, thank you, Kang." Arya said to the seller.

"The same, Mas Arya." The seller's law.

Arya slightly blinked her eyes, the seller did not really understand but she only then nodded slowly.

"Monggo coffee in sambi used to be still this hot, Mas." Arya said as she shifted the coffee glass in front of Khalil and Imam.

"Thank you, Arya." Khalil Sahut.

"I really want to be able to pay, Mas. But people say pesantren costs are expensive. I'm afraid to bother my parents, Mom. That's why I'm happy to have every santri friend. E, who knows what the science is nular." Arya said later.

"Saw it, Mas. Come to our pesantren. Our boarding school is free, Mas." Sahut Khalil thereafter.

"Free, Mas?" Arya asked slightly frowning.

"Yes, Mas. It was also the time Kyai Salim who held also in free. But Kyai Aminudin time there is indeed a small cost for the continuity of pesantren. Only after being held back by Gus Aji, the pesantren back in free." Khalil then.

"Kyai Salim's?"

"Kyai Salim was Gus Aji's father, Mas. But he died a long time ago." Khalil.

Arya only then nodded her head lightly.

"Oh, yes, Mas. The question I was asking was how is it, Mas?" Sela Imam then.

"Questions? Which question yes, my. I'm sorry, because I'm a forgetful person." Sahut Arya slightly grimaced but scratched his head.

"On a young man named Hexa, Mas. Kan Mas Arya said almost every day here. Means Mas Arya knows a young boy named Arya that's possible?" The priest repeated the question.

Once again Arya swallowed her saliva. Then shut up and frown as if thinking of something.

"Hexa huh?"

Seriate...
