The morning sun on the weekend feels warmer greeting, the white sand and blue sea immediately welcome mesrab once Via set foot on Tirta Maya beach. The atmosphere of the beach is quite crowded on the weekend, although this is not the first time Via visited but of course this time it feels different. Besides because the beach is cleaner and more maintained after being managed by the local tourism service, also of course this is very happy because all members of his family participated.
“Vi!” Call Tia waving her hand from a distance.
Via and Bi Narih looked for the source of the voice and came over as soon as they saw Tia sitting on a mat under a tree with Bu Elin and the rest of her family.
“Tante Via ...” The next loud call followed, Ica ran down her tant. “Kok really long?” Rajuk Ica hugged his favorite aunt's waist.
“Iya, the solution was aunt ...”
“Wah, there's Om handsome!” Ica instantly let go of her embrace as soon as she saw Danar walking over while carrying two large boxes in her hands. “Halo, Om handsome ...”
“Hai, Hello beautiful ...” Reply Danar while bending over Ica's chin, and Ica shamelessly draped her two lenagn at Danar's neck.
“Om handsome, we play yuk!” Bring Ica.
Bi Narih took over Danar's luggage, while Via sighed rudely looking at the familiarity of Ica and Danar.
Basic Ica! There are handsome people, directly amnesia as tantenya. E what was that? Danar handsome? Ah, lupain lupain!
“I went there first yes.” Via left without waiting for Ica and Danar's answer.
“Ica want to play what?” Tanya Danar saw Via's departure.
“We play ball yuk, Om.”
“Bby.”
“For a while, Ica take the ball first.” Ica ran to pick up the plastic ball then immediately returned the Danar pead and dragged Danar's hand a little away.
The atmosphere was getting crowded because some employees of the Bu Elin cake shop began to arrive with his family as well. Via Nampak blends in the mat with Bu Elin and her family. Various foods and drinks are presented complete, Bi Narih assisted by other employees to distribute food to several groups of employees who held separate mats from them.
“Eh, where was Ica earlier, Vi?” Tia is looking for her son.
“Main equals Danar.”
Tia stood around his eyes, Ica seemed to be playing with the ball with Danar some distance away from where they were. Ica occasionally laughed cheerfully and chased the ball that rolled in the wind towards the beach.
“Ica, play not far away, Son!” Tia cried out loud.
Too late! The boy had already splashed to the beach because the ball continues to roll swept by the waves, Danar immediately chased Ica so as not to get carried away by the waves of the beach which although slow but quite dangerous for children as small as Ica.
Hup!
Danar immediately picked up Ica's tiny body and brought her to the edge. Ica laughed happily because her body was soaked.
“Liat tuh, your son Ma'am!” Via the ringing of the head seeing the behavior of Ica.
“Mas, susulin Ica change clothes.” Pinta Tia on Arya.
“Biarin aja Bun, his name is also playing on the beach ya must be wet clothes.” Arya reluctantly obeys his wife's orders.
“Thener it, Tia. Let's be satisfied first Ica playnya.” Timpal Bu Elin's. “Lagian Danar also seems very fun playing with Ica. Excite them to look at it.” Bu Elin throws a glance at Ica and Danar who are engrossed in collecting beach sand. “It looks like Danar is well deserved to have a child huh, Yah?” Miss Elin looked at Mr. Rian.
“Heum, but he's still relaxing Bu.” Mr. Rian exhaled while correcting the location of his glasses.
“Ri, how are you the same Danar?”
“Uhuk ... uhuk ..” Riri who was drinking suddenly coughed at the end of such a question by Ms. Elin.
“Bu Harni agrees if Riri and Danar we match?” Ms. Elin now turned to Ms. Harni who had just become a loyal listener.
Miss Harni became a misbehaved smile, she looked at Via and Tia alternately as if asking for approval.
Triringring tringring …
Mr. Rian's cell phone voice saved Ms. Harni's worry.
“Ya, Hello. Where have you been, Mas?” Greet Mr. Rian to the caller.
“(………………………..)”
“Oh, yes have been waiting for a while, I am there now.” Mr. Rian got up with the device still attached to his right ear, he walked to where the caller was while continuing to talk.
“Eh, where were we?” Ms. Elin wanted to get back on the topic of the initial conversation.
“Until the matchmaking of Mas Danar and Mbak Riri.” Sahut Bi Narih while grinning.
“Oh yes. What do you think, Vi?” This time, Elin looked at Via.
Via was a bit surprised for a while but soon took control of himself. “Yes if I'm up to Riri aja, Bu.” Via looked at Riri who became clumsy.
“But you are happy that Danar is your sister-in-law?”
This is Miss Elin why is the question so strange? Why do I keep being asked? Ask Ma'am Tia, can Mas Arya?
Via smiled to overcome his own strange taste. “Seneng-seneng aja Bu, Danar my boss in the office. Then I have a boss' sister-in-law, right? Hehe ...” I don't know why even that answer was nyeplos from Via.
Ms. Elin smiled at her, Via did not know that Ms. Elin actually knew how Danar felt on Via. Miss Elin just want to ngetes Via aja, it turns out true love Danar is not reciprocated. But Ms. Elin was grateful for that.
“Kalo what do you think, Tia, Arya?”
Ms. Elin is exactly a kindergarten teacher if you like gini. Ngabsen his student one-on-one using the question, hemm.
“Kalo we agree anyway-agree, right Mas?” Tia looked at her husband. Arya just nodded. “Danar seems like the person is patient and mature, fits Riri who is still childish and still likes spoiled.”
“Ish! This Tia Ma'am!” Riri thaws.
Ms. Elin the mangosteen seemed pleased with Tia's more rational answer than Via. Their chat then turned around a new cake and bakery product development idea plan to meet customer satisfaction. Miss Harni can breathe a sigh of relief now, because no longer talking about matchmaking. But the relief was only for a moment, because his breathing seemed to stop suddenly when he saw a man who came with Mr. Rian.
“Good day, everyone.” Sapa Pak Hadi with a charismatic smile that successfully made the heart of Bu Harni as if to be dislodged.
“Wah, Mr Hadi also followed it?” Via welcomed the most enthusiastically.
“Which may I miss this very rare and special event.” Sahut Pak Hadi's. “It's not too late to join?” Its effects.
“Ah, you are Mas. So formal. Cepet sit, here!” Ms. Elin patted the mat next to her.
“Huh, there is Mas Hadi alone husband directly dicuekin!” Ceplos Mr. Rian pretended to be upset.
All who heard him laughed, except for Bu Harni who was still overcoming his nervousness that attacked suddenly.
“Yes already, dad is sitting here next to Mom. Don't sulk that dong, like a child. Mas Hadi sat next to it near Bu Harni.”
Mr. Hadi immediately took a place next to Bu Harni who was still empty.
“Oya Bu Harni and everyone, know this Mas Hadi his biological father Danar. Mas Hadi for me and Mas Rian is already like our own brother, because young people who accompany the fall of our business from zero to be big and successful as it is today.” Papar Bu Elin's.
“You're overreacting, Her.” Welcome Mr. Hadi with a smile on his face.
“Ya is so, right? Mas, this is Via's family. If the same Via Mas Hadi must have known the problem neighbor.”
“How is Dik Harni.” Sapa Pak Hadi politely nodded to Bu Harni.
“Lho? Mas Hadi already knew Bu Harni?” Ms. Elin was astonished, and so was Mr. Rian.
“Eh, yes ... I am the same Dik Harni this ..”
“We're schoolmates first.” Sambar Bu Harni fast. “SMP Friends, right Mas Pram?” Miss Harni glanced at Mr. Hadi.
Ms. Elin and Mr. Rian looked at each other still in astonishment. “Mas Pram?” Miss Elin was astonished. “Wah, it seems like there is something we do not know about Mas Hadi and Bu Harni yes, Yah?”
Mr. Rian just nodded, though curious as well but not to the extent of Bu Elin. Via and Riri who know the past of his mother and Pak Hadi chose silence.
“If you are already familiar means even good dong. This matchmaking plan will be easier.” Miss Elin is excited.
“Stupid?” Replace the astonished Mr. Hadi.
“Iya, so I'm the same Miss Harni have plans to mate Danar with Riri, Mas.”
“Danar with Riri?” Mr. Hadi looked at the youngest daughter of his former lover, who was seen even looks very awkward.
“Eeemm, if I think I am .. “ Riri that was used as a chat material began to sound.
“Why do you mind?” Cut Bu Elin on Riri.
“I ... haven't thought about getting married, Mom. Sorry ...” Slightly unpleasant Riri answered.
Miss Elin laughed. “Who asked you to quickly marry Danar? Go ahead, Ri. Peddling yes, let you guys get to know more and more.”
Mr. Hadi knows the anxiety that Bu Harni is feeling.
“Her, how about we discuss this issue next time. Now eat first. Because this morning I had business so I haven't had breakfast yet, laper.” Mr. Hadi held his stomach.
“Hem, alright.”
Mr. Hadi was relieved, his efforts were successful as well. He really did not want to make the event that should have been walking casually and cheerfully so awkward suddenly because Miss Elin just kept talking about the matchmaking problems of Riri and Danar while she herself knew that her son instead fell in love with Via, Riri's older brother who was married.
It was late afternoon, but the sun still felt quite hot. All employees have occupied the resorts that have been provided although there are some who still appear to be on the beach, including Arya and Tia. The two of them walked down the beach hand in hand. Tia and Arya are enjoying this free holiday so much, they look the happiest.
“Hoy! Ma'am, Mas!” Call Riri. “You even feel good walking together, this is his son taken care of!” Riri walked closer with a roaring tone, he handed Ica from his carrier to Arya.
“Ngook him! Ask to play wet again, just changed his clothes was wet all out playing with Mas Danar this afternoon.” Cerocos Riri is upset.
Ica's lips pursed making her cheeks more bubbly. “But I haven't played with the buoys I brought, Dad?” Ica TWEets.
“Tomorrow in the morning baby, let it not be hot. Later Ica sick you know.” Persuade Tia.
“Tuh dengerin said Mommy. Do we buy food or ice cream only yuk.” Arya persuaded because Ica still scowled.
“Huh, you're a piece of crab! Udah ah, I want to go to the resort tired ngurusin him. Bye!” Riri passed by with a quick step towards the resort taking a different path than the one he had passed by the radi, accidentally Riri saw Via who was again engrossed in a backrest on the beach chair berselonjor ria accompanied by young coconut ice.
“This again, this one guy is really santuy. Feel again in Bali huh, Bu?” Sapa Riri meredek Via.
“Eh, Ri. Where have you been?” Via upholding its position.
“From ngurusin kids kempong tuh!” Riri looked at Ica who was walking away with her father.
Nyengir. “Why the little drama queen?”
“Custom, sulk him! Really nice!” Riri monyong, then ….
SRUUT .. SRUUUT ….
Riri sucked up Via's young coconut ice without permission.
“Hey, nyebelin sih nyebelin but don't ice coconut young Mbak also dong so the impingement?” Upset Via glanced at his careless sister without sin.
“The baby is tired of carrying him, wear him out. Where his father even delicious walk alone again. What honeymoon do they think they are on? Sampe forgot his own son so!”
Via chuckled at Riri's chattering. Riri manyun's.
“Oya Ri, how is Danar?” Via deliberately fishing Riri.
“So got out of the resort together. Abis change her pants wet gimso water toy same Riri.”
“Yee. What do you mean by how you feel about Danar?”
Riri kontan glares. “Mbak, please! Don't talk about it, I don't want to get married.”
“Can Bu Elin said tell us to do the explorations first?”
“What piracy? Orang Mas Danarnya also cuek so.”
“Brarti if Danara want you also want right?” Via curious.
Riri looked straight at the bead of his second brother's eyes. “I'm sure I'm not the type of girl dreams Mas Danar.”
“Kalo it turns out that your guess is wrong, how?”
“Tau ah! I don't want to think about it!” Riri got up leaving Via for the Resort.
Via stared at her sister's departure, a smile decorating her beautiful face.
“Vi, alone?” Tegur Pak Hadi who came out of nowhere.
“Eh, Mr. Hadi. Are you alone too? Where are you from, Sir?” Reply Via.
“Tadi abis streets with your mother.”
“Same streets mom?” Mumbled Via astonished.
“Iya, just enjoy the beach atmosphere.”
Via simply nodded, reluctant to ask further. Just let them both want to do, anyway they are both bangkotan as well, hehe ….
Suddenly the atmosphere of the beach so boisterous, some beach visitors seem to gather on the left side of the beach. Looks like a beach volleyball game is going to be held.
“We look there yuk, Vi.” Invite Mr. Hadi to walk ahead without waiting for Via. Via also chose to follow because it was not good to refuse.
Mr. Hadi and Via joined the other audience, they stood on the edge of the field made a potluck voly. Mr. Hadi looks enthusiastic, while Via himself is less fond of beach voly.
“Eh, that's there your nephew right?” Mr. Hadi pointed Ica who was engrossed in playing sand with Tia not too far from the volley field. “There's Danar too, let's go there!”
Although relieved because you do not have to watch a beach volleyball game, but why should you approach Danar again anyway? But although a bit upset, Via came again with Mr. Hadi.
“Pak Hadi, Via?” Sapa Arya who also just came while carrying two bottles of cold drinks for Ica and Tia.
“Tante here play the same Ica.” Said Ica who was engrossed in forming a sand dune resembling a palace.
“It's sand again anyway? Did that change clothes? “ Tegur Via.
“Enjoyous to say too, Vi.” Tia Sahut.
“Tante here, spout!” Ica pulled out Via's hand with her two tiny, sand-bottomed hands.
“Yeah, Ica!” Kaget Via's.
“Kalo Aunty does not want to follow, I dirtyin all of you! Here ... rasain!” Ica throwing sand hoarding feet Via.
Reflex Via tiptoe made Ica laugh crisply at her tant behavior, Tia just stroked her chest with her daughter's obscenity, while not far from there Danar also smiled to see the ridiculous sight.
“Huh! Beware, aunt will not make you nginep at aunty's house again!” Via drifting away cleaning his legs.
“Sometimes following up to be like a child is fun.” Danar looked at Via with a smile.
“But I no longer want to be a child.” Via sat himself in a chair near Danar patting his calf, knocking out the sand that stuck there.
“Tante Via is not fun!” Cebik Ica who returned to play sand with his mother, while Pak Hadi and Arya were busy talking to him about what.
“Udah dirty so why not all water toys?” Danar sat next to Via while taking off his sunglasses.
“No need to cheat, you also just changed the gegara diusisn Ica?” Via upset.
“I don't feel rubilin. I can play and feel like a kid again.” Danar.
Via sebel semaki. Anybody else why sit here? Make it even more so.
The beach breeze plays the Via brat into a bit of a mess. Via tidying it, the beach sand grains accidentally stamped on his forehead because of Via's dirty hands. Danar looked at Via's face with a smile.
“Ngapain smile so?”
“Jidat you sandbox tuh.” Danar pointed at Via's forehead.
Via rubbed it, but it actually made more and more sand stuck there. Danar's smile grew wider.
“Danar, you don't need to know me!” Via glaring.
Danar closer his position, want it to feel like he rubbed a beautiful face with sand in front of him. Danar leaned his body towards Via.
“Danar?” Lirih.
Their eyes met and locked onto each other. Danar's heartbeats are beating faster, it feels like there are special forces pumping his heart rate to rhythmically irregular.
“Vi, I'm glad we got so far.”
“Means?”
Danar swept his hand at Via's forehead, the sand grains were lined up. “I want to be honest with you.”
Suddenly the atmosphere was like silence, the two pairs of eyes were still staring at each other.
“I fell in love with you. If I could control my own feelings, maybe I wouldn't let it go this deep. I loved you from the very beginning, and that feeling grew into a love I couldn't escape even though I knew that you were no longer alone. Tell me, Vi. Do you feel the same way as me?"
WHOOSH ….!
BUGH!
One volley ball right hit the right side of Danar's head, although not too tight but enough to make it shocked. Danar suddenly woke up.
“I'm sorry, Mas. I was not on purpose.” A teenage boy approached to pick up the ball filled with guilt.
Danar who seemed to have just recovered from his subconscious only nodded faintly.
“Danar, you are not papa?” Via asked worriedly as he looked at Danar like a confused person. “Saki yes?”
It hurts so much, Vi. I just asked, just halu! Ah, if only I had the courage to express this feeling to you.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
