Driving on a Horse Race
“Aaa..!” I turned towards the voice that greeted me. A sinless flat face greeted with a wide smile. His white skin was blindingly exposed to the sunlight that fell freely on the beach.
“Why the hell, how shocked?” heran while sitting in a nearby hut, where I leaned while circulating my gaze.
“Sapto? Huff kirain who ... call us your name again!” my snort then followed sitting beside him.
“Hahaha .. Hayooo, who's coming?” his insistence.
“Kepo! What are you doing here yourself?”
“Eits, make no mistake bro, every weekend, We often to this beach, you know..”.
“We?”
I looked at my old office friend, now he has been moved in another part after his marriage to Nania, which is in the same section. To be conductive, now they are separated into different parts. Nania is still in my office.
“Iya, my little family, Gie.”
“Where ?” I looked back, but I did not see Nania and Azwi, their daughter who was a year and a few months old.
“New on the children's pool rides near the evergreen forest, with my sister's family. You know, Gie, recommended by Dr. Wur, sea breeze therapy in the morning is good for my son's lungs. Hehehe .. dear that was a bit of bad luck. “
“Oh, then how do you know I'm here?” I was still surprised, Sapto was here, until I first saw Sapto.
“It just so happened that I saw you leave the parking lot, when I picked up my son's changing bag in the car. After I gave it to Nania, I continued to nyariin you, that is. Btw, you seem confused, Gie? What's the matter exactly?”
“Ngledek!”
My sigh successfully made the man in front of me laugh freely.
“Hahaha .. then where is Ghifa?” inquiringly.
“This is also new to nyariin!”
“Emang Ghifa who is here?”
“Bik Well,”
“Bik Well?”
“Iyaaa ..”
Sapto raised one eyebrow. His eyes showed disbelief.
“Bik What do you wear? Emang Bik Nah can ride the motor?”
“Ya enggak .. “
“Whose needs to be the same? Ahah! I knew! Don't-don't ..”.
“Be quiet, don't guess!”
Hahaha.Sapto, the tall white young man chuckled again and then patted my shoulder.
“Gie, why are you blushing so? Like ABG child only ..” god Sapto.
“Shit! So you know!”
The watery wind greeted my cold face. My eyes swept back every corner of the beach. Some of the four-wheeled All Terrain Vehicle Motor which is more often referred to by the cool term ATV is located near one of the photo spots. Two of them were seen driving along the tenant along the coastline, then turned back to where the ATV was based. And I have not yet found Ghifa.
I moved, restless as well so far as not met. Or is he on another ride? No longer on the beach.
“Didn't you see, Ghifa and Bik Nah in the pool earlier, Sap?” I saw Sapto shake.
“There was still quiet earlier, Gie. So it will be clear if Bik Nah and Ghifa are there.”
“Hemmm,”
“Wait, Gie! Where to?”
“Okey, come on I'm temanin.”
Our steps are slow on the sand. I pressed Beanie out of a knitting combination of light ash and old ash, giving her the hair and stalk of the sunglasses I was wearing. Sapto accompanied with both hands in the pocket of moca pants of denim material. His white t-shirt made the man look handsome with his solid body.
In the distance, there are two leased horses tethered near a gazebo.
“There are horse rentals too?”
“Now anything is here, Gie. After all, the horse breeder rides only in the Mulud month for the children's khataman agenda. In addition only one two at the time were hired for the Khitanan event. By filling tourist destinations here, so quite right. Although the crowds are only on Saturday Sunday.”
“True too, meaning the management of this beach needs to involve many parties. I heard, from the village government to encourage and open opportunities for its citizens to provide culinary places here.”
“Of course, Gie. Opening a tourist spot means opening a job, right?”
“Yups!”
In ignorance there is a jet black horse with a long tail dangling roaring. Not too tight, but as a rider who is not accompanied by a rider, it is enough to indicate that the rider is quite accustomed to controlling the horse that is classified as large. Although not holding the kenkang rope, but the horseman still participate in running small watching his horse.
“Woiii, the girl's seat, Gie!” show Sapto pointing at the horse I was watching.
“Hemmm,”
The mustard color hood of the horseman was fluttering in the wind. His loose t-shirt and black denim kulaot seemed familiar to me. Shit! Is he Kunthi? Then where are Bik Nah and Ghifa? My eyes swept around the gazebo. Zonk. At some point, the rider looks pulled the kenkang make the black unravel slow down and make a roundabout step in direction.
“Ghifa!” Panicked exciting.
Of course I don't pangling in the pink shirt that that little girl with curly hair wears. Although it was still far away, but the approaching speed made me more convinced, the horsemen were Kunthi and Ghifa. There was also a scarf wrapped around Ghifa's waist, holding it together to Kunthi's waist.
“That's Ghifa, Sap!”
“Quiet, Gie. Look at Ghifa laughing cheerfully on that horse's back.”
“But ..”
“Lho Mas Gie here?”
Suddenly Bik Nah was standing in front of me. His two hands were full holding the two conical ice creams in his right hand, and several food boxes and 3 bottles of mineral water in a clear crackle bag in his left hand.
“Bik Well, is that true Ghifa?” point me.
“True mas Gie, already three times this round, Non Ghifa ndak Mau down. It turns out that Non Kunthi is good at riding horses, you know .. Mas Gie can ndak?”
Glekks.
Well you know, I've never been on a horse, so how do I know if I can control it, haven't I tried it yet? A hufffff!
“Hihihi ..” the crisp laughs from Ghifa were faintly heard, as the horse passed the shoreline parallel to where I was standing. Distance 10 meters, but clearly visible lips Ghifa widened.
“Forward, auntie! There!” point Ghifa in the front.
“Siap, Ghifa beautiful ..” Kunthi slightly pull the kenkang make the horse slow down, then pull both of its front legs up for a moment.
“Yeah!” kunthi exclaimed, swinging his two legs towards the horse's stomach slowly after the two front legs of the black horse stepped on the sand again.
“Nggikkk” the horse neighs then re-deeps straight along the shoreline to the east.
I gawked, I heard Sapto's chuckling laughter. I felt his hand on my shoulder. Our eyes are still staring at the dark horse carrying Kunthi and Ghifa.
“Often times, Mas Gielang, you don't have to look too. Here sit, Bik Well search for coffee!” I according to follow Bik Nah sitting in a roofed hut that looks wider than other huts. Bik Nah put the bring, then back up.
“Mas Gielang do not go anywhere, will disappear, Bik Nah who bother!”
“Hahh, Bik Nah Just Any-nothing!” my murmur was upset and greeted with laughter exploded Sapto, while Bik Nah passed by regardless of my protest.
“Hehehe... so that's Ghifa's future parent, Gie?”
“ ….”
