(Little Time is Less Happy)

" No papa also if you really want to walk on the beach for a while, besides dear also if we have traveled all the way here, but only for lunch and go straight home".

" The two of you do not have an important event at home, right?, how about we play a while to the beach as planned by Utari."

The call to Yoga made Utari whose worsening mood changed to improve. The speech and attitude of Yoga is very influential on Utari. Just a few minutes ago he made Utari upset, in just an instant he changed the bad mood for the better.

I looked at Bian, of course asking for his approval. And Bian gestured in agreement with a slow nod.

" Yes already mumpung already here, maybe a walk to the beach for a while there is no harm. The weather is also not very hot, even a bit cloudy, so the streets during the day like this will not feel hot because the sky is cloudy".

" Well, let's wait what else, we go to the beach now, I'll ask the same waiter here to pack all this food so that it can be brought home". Utari first stood up and waved her hand asking for our lunch payment bill. Just by swiping his credit card everything is in order. I had a glance and read how much Utari had to pay, and it turned out to be almost a million. That's a huge sum to me, equal to my salary of half a month.

" Please pack all this food in Mba, we want to take it home".

The waiter nodded and brought all the food on the table to the kitchen. After a few minutes of waiting, the waiter came out with a large paper bag with the name of the restaurant on the front. All dishes are neatly packed using plastic feeding and neatly arranged in a large paper bag.

The four of us went straight to the car to store the food first in the trunk, then we walked to the beach.

Utari walked ahead, at a fast pace, and was so excited. It seems he's still mad at me, because he hasn't talked to me since. I walked with Bian and Yoga walking at the very back.

" What is beautiful if it is cloudy like this to the beach?, maybe soon it will rain. Is it not papa we are on the beach like this, I am worried that the sea water will overflow if it rains, where the wind is tight, more cool, if the water overflows and we are carried by the current how? ", i'm a little worried because I'm not good at swimming.

It's not that I can't, but it's not that smart, if I swim just a few meters like in a swimming pool, of course I can. But if I get carried away by the currents, and drift in the infinitely vast sea, I will surely sink from the exhaustion of swimming towards the edge.

" Just relax, I'm here, you know I used to be a swimmer in Junior High, and there's Steve, too, he's my high school rival, we often become school representatives if there is a swimming race. It's just that we don't work on it, because our goal is not to be athletes".

" The athlete is indeed quite a big salary, but only briefly retired, and more troublesome, having to exercise every day, it is very tiring. Moreover, the ideals of Steve from the past wanted to be a successful and wealthy person, without the help of his parents. That's why we chose to be entrepreneurs. I'm in the culinary field, because my hobby is cooking. Steve is an entrepreneur in the field of machines".

I stopped my steps. We had reached the beach, Utari immediately took off his neck and put his feet in the water. Gradually Utari walked further and further to the beach, until the water closed to the extent of his chest.

Bian said Yoga company in the field of machines?, I immediately glanced towards Yoga who is now walking past me, because I want to call it also into the water, actually, all this time I only knew Yoga had a company, but never knew what company Yoga owned was in what field. So in the field of machines. I suddenly remembered the night of last week, when my bike broke down on the road, is it possible, Yoga sabotaged my bike?. I remember things I shouldn't remember anymore.

" Why stop?, we play water like the two of them, it will be fun", Bian invited, while pointing at Utari who deliberately splashed sea water towards Yoga with both hands. They are both wet right now. Yoga submerges itself until it is invisible from the surface. Though the sea water is salty, how can he drown himself until his hair is also wet. It will be a lot of sand and will be sticky.

" I'm just here, I don't bring Bi's change of clothes, later if the clothes get wet and go home the trip is almost two hours, I can catch a cold" I refuse, I refuse, because I think what Utari is doing is like a child. It's not the time for me to play around with water like that. Maybe I'll just throw myself in and play around with them if this happened 10 years ago.

" It's not papa Ra.., it's not a problem, look at the outskirts there, there are a lot of clothes sellers, so we just buy it when we want to go home later".

Bian still persuaded me to go with him to play water like Yoga and Utari. But I still felt reluctant to play around with water like a child.

Utari and Yoga also splashed water towards Bian, so Bian ran into the water and joined the water play with Yoga and Utari. Definition of a less happy childhood. Isn't that supposed to be for me?, I'm the one whose childhood was less happy, whereas the three of them, I'm sure they're happy living with their families who never had any economic difficulties, not like me who has to save since I was a child until now.

I chose to take off my sandals and use them for the seat. I bend my knees up. And I hugged my feet with both hands.

" Husma......".

My whole body sank into the water, soaking wet everything from my toes to my hair. The cold of the sea water, made my drowsiness just disappear.

" What the hell are you, I told you not to bring a change of clothes, it's wet like this, I'll be cold" I protested as I stood up and came to the surface.

I walked to the side, but Bian grabbed my hand and hugged me from behind.

" It's not cold now, is it?".

Bian's treatment made me misbehave, which I want to see right now is exactly what Yoga looks like, seeing me wearing a wet shirt, and being embraced by Bian from behind. What is clear, at this time the curves of my body can be seen clearly, let alone my clothes are classified as thin, understand cheap clothes.

It turns out that my guess is correct. Yoga has set up sangar mode. Her face was red and held back the emotion of seeing me being touched by another man. Not just in touch, but in the embrace.

" Lepas Bi... is not good to see Utari and Steve", I whispered, while releasing Bian's hand that stuck to my stomach.

" Because it's wet how about we rent a boat, and muters in the waters around here?", ask Yoga.

I knew he was only distracting so that Bian wouldn't keep hugging me. And the effort succeeded. Utari and Bian walked over to a place where many fishing boats were lined up.

" You really look sexy in a wet shirt like that. Can I do the same thing that Bian did to you?. If you are too expensive to sell with me", murmured Yoga. And I felt really upset by what he said just now.

Fortunately, soon the boat came with a fisherman, and there was Utari with Bian who had been sitting sweetly on the boat.

" Come on you two get up here. We'll take a boat and explore the beach around here, it'll be fun", Bian said.

Yoga and I got on the boat in turn. Wooden boats are commonly used by fishermen to catch fish at night, and the day is rented to tourists who are on vacation like us.

" Another overcast like this so the beach is quiet, thank God someone rented a boat, it means the wife's children will be able to eat, tonight".

The fisherman's words made me and the others feel sorry for him. It seems like he is in a position of economic difficulty. Because the catch of fish is not too much.

The cost of renting a boat for half an hour at once circling in the waters around 50 thousand rupiah. It was expensive for me, but hearing the fisherman's words, made me sincere with such a large fee.

Even Bian gave 100 thousand as a rental fee for half an hour, and did not ask for change, when the fisherman said there was no change.

" That's for you, just make dinner shopping for kids and wives".

That's what Bian said, and we were being driven around the beach. I saw the face of the fisherman who had been grim, already brighter than before.

But not with the weather this afternoon, the cloudiness grew darker, and the rain began to fall soaking the earth. The fisherman hurriedly pulled the boat over because of the rain.

" I'm sorry for having to pull over, I'm afraid the boat sank because the rain was getting heavier" said the fisherman.

The four of us understood that, and walked towards the clothes seller around the beach that we had seen. Apparently some of them have closed, and only a few sellers are still selling.

Fortunately there are still open, only they only sell shirts, and casual suits. They do not sell clothes. That means we will all just change clothes, without wearing underwear to go home, because the clothes, until the interior we are all soaked. How is this supposed to be?.
