GENK DUDA ACUTE
62. It Turns Out All along

“Why don't you call me, anyway, De?” ask Rio. “Prestigious ama bini herself. I am Jenni like there are no prestige anymore, deh.”

“Entar thought I was insecure a male member of the Service,” Dean said.

“Insecure,” replied Ryan. “Where?” Ryan nudged the hand of the Sky that was in front of him.

“Lo insecure, De? Don't feel sorry?” ask the Sky, make sure.

“That's called insecure, huh? I was so excited that I was laughing in front of another guy. I feel threatened. I feel like sitting there. But I don't think it's possible,” Dean's murmur.

“Fixed, insecure. Whereabouts? Here?” Ryan looked at his hand towards the sky.

“Anjaaay .. lose me. Fixed lo is now the number two after Bu Win,” said Sky, grabbing the clutch in front of him. The sky stirred up the contents for a while, then took out a card that read Platinum Huge Gym Membership.

“What's wrong?” ask Dean.

“No, not nothing.” Ryan took out a gym membership card that expired for a lifetime. He won a bet with Sky about Dean.

Some time ago, outside Sukabumi Police Station, Sky confidently said that Dean is a man with a myriad of confidence.

“When is Dean insecure? He likes heights. Pede. Especially in front of the bin,” said Sky at that time.

Ryan quickly nodded. “Pak De insecure only ama Bu Win.”

“Masa, anyway? Unbelieving. Dean was never insecure. Pede abis.” Sky shakes. They stared at the car where Dean had made out with Winarsih after their business at the Sukabumi Police Station.

“Kalo Pak De insecure how?” challenge Ryan, to the Sky.

“Gue keeps my Huge Gym members for the rest of my life. Lifetime you can use, dapet locker, can join all classes, apply in all branches. If you buy it yourself, it's now 30 million. I give it free to you. I'm sure Dean will never insecure until he dies,” said Sky.

And that night, Ryan glared at the newly-shown member's Sky card at him to the bright light of the cafe's lights. The sky grimaced at Ryan's behavior, while Dean frowned inexplicably.

“Eh you talked about that guy from Dinas. What service?” ask Sky.

“Dinas education,” replied Dean.

“Wah, can be a teacher Bu Win, dong, if so.” The sky looked back. Dean threw the roll of tissue in his hand at the sky.

“Should have been sent. Entar at the birthday show Mami Toni is known to Jenni, to Orange. Let alone, deh, once hang out with a girl. Bini lo is young. Time of day lo doang face,” explained Rio.

“Lo is not worried that the wives can form a dangerous unity? You know, right, the reason the colonial era used to be that all forms of association were forbidden? That's because it will potentially lead to the incorporation of ideas that make the occupier feel threatened by its position.” Dean looked at Toni who had just returned after speaking to Winarsih.

“And you want to be a perpetual colonizer. Oh, cute Mr. Dean,” Sky Syndicate.

“Awhile she said. It will come to pass,” Toni said, as she sat back across from Dean.

“A minute? Will follow?” dean asked, looking angry.

“Yes, how are you going? Just call there!” sergeant Toni, get pissed.

“Yes, memaaaang ..” All the men at the table answered in unison until several people from the next table turned to them.

“Ehem!” Dean's cleared his throat. “So you said what? You need my opinion about Wulan, right?” ask Dean.

“Iya. I told you that. I need the opinion of Bu Win,” replied Toni. Let Dean be with his own mind, he thought. Toni felt letting Dean keep the ego in his own mind was very important at the time.

“Oh, yes, already. Good for that,” said Dean, stirring his drink with a straw. Ryan grimaced at the hearing of that. It turns out that his boss can indeed be stupid for special things.

At another table, Winarsih stood from the iron chair he had occupied.

“I'm on my husband's desk, yeah. You guys continue chatting,” Winarsih said, attaching her bag to the shoulder.

“Hurry really,” said Pratama, glancing at Dean who was staring intently at him. “Pesen eat first. Kan, haven't eaten.” He tapped on the menu book in front of him, smiling.

“Yes, here, I'm also a laper. I want to eat with my husband. Yeah, I went there first. There will be a time when we chat again,” said Winarsih, smiling then turned to the table where Dean was.

Winarsih walked holding her bag so as not to swing. His eyes were fixed with narrowed eyes with jet-black eyebrows framing him. That good eyebrow is grim. Her hair down covered part of her forehead. The selfish man is handsome, Winarsih thought. He knew the man must have felt unconcerned. Not having dinner, but being able to call the waiter and order the food. Often to the cafe and can be independent, but so fussy when he came there.

Dean looked at Winarsih turning around leaving his friends' table. How could he sit quietly if the woman who used to pay attention to him was now sitting laughing in front of another man? His wife is his absolute possession. Other than himself, only their children deserve the attention of his wife. Oh, yeah, their families too. But not for anyone else. Winarsih was sent to his house by God. Through the Utomo intermediary of course. As long as the woman was out of her reach, she felt that she could do nothing quietly.

“Kok, haven't eaten pesen?” asked Winarsih, when she had just arrived on the right side of her husband.

Dean immediately shifted his seat and pulled Winarsih's hand. “Sit here, don't go anywhere. My dinner pesenin.” He clasped his hands and grabbed his wife's waist as she sat down.

“Pffff ...” Toni breathed a sigh of relief.

Dean waved at the waiter gesturing for the menu. Before long the waiter came with a menu book. With a swift Dean put Winarsih's hand that he had just held on his thigh. “Do not go anywhere,” whispered Dean again. He then flipped through the menu and ordered some dishes for his wife.

“You sat there at last. It was time to eat Malem. My son will be late in the dalem,” Dean's murmur. He returned the menu book and nodded at the waiter.

Winarsih sits back. Take Dean's glass and sip the contents. He was asked to go there because Dean hadn't had dinner. On arrival at the table, her husband ordered food.

Dean could see his senior wife on campus still looking in their direction. Dean looked down and whispered in his wife's ear.

“I don't like you laughing in front of other people besides me.” Dean kissed Winarsih's ear, then swept the tip of her nose over the woman's cheek. “Do not go there again,” whispered. Burning his nose on Winarsih's cheek grimaced with the amused warm breath of Dean around his neck.

“Oke—kalo so the actual meeting can start. Danawira’s Law Firm is not closing!” sky from the end of the table.

Winarsih's participation in Beer Garden has just made Sky have to take care of a new Platinum Membership Gym card for her for life.

“So, De ... illegal business si Rey what?” ask Toni. He saw Dean's look was back to normal.

“Jadi gini ... Rey has a holding business and sells subsidized fertilizer. Dipped out of the area. One of them, yes, the Situbondo. So in my opinion, your case does not need to go to court. Barter with this info. He does not need to be reported because it will stop after we know. All about the debts and shares in the Wulan company. While the testimony of Mah—”

“Pak, we can say that Mbak Wulan also complained about the rudeness of Rey.” Ryan cut Dean's conversation just in time. He did not want his boss who was on fire, mispronounced the name.
