Hey Indigo Girl (The Series) TAMAAAAAT!!!!
12. Tumultuously

"Where, baby, so the catering message?" ask Radit.

"So. That's it. Just wait aja. I'm asking 3 o'clock in the afternoon to be delivered here." Aretha is making a fruit pudding for a snack later tonight. For heavy food, they are already planning to use catering services. Because the guests who will come to study are not a little. It would be a hassle if everything was cooked at home. Moreover, there are only Aretha and Bu Jum who will do the kitchen business.

"That's all right, honey, cook for the snack? Why not just order. So you don't have to bother. You'll be tired."

"What's wrong, Dit. It's just a snack. I used to make it if Mommy used to have an order. I also want to have activities."

"Yes already. But ...." Radit wrapped both hands around Aretha's waist. The woman who has the status as Radit's wife, is not surprised at all will be the husband. Radit has always done this romantic thing since they were married.

Aretha was only more careful especially because now she was stirring the pudding dough on a hot stove. Don't let the concentration fall because of Radit.

The sound of footsteps came in. As a result Radit who initially still hugged his wife from behind, relaxed his hands while looking back. Bu Jum came in with several bags of groceries after shopping at the market on Aretha's errand this morning.

"Home home, Ma'am Jum? Same with Mr. Slamet, right?" ask Radit base stale. The intention of wanting to do a romantic scene with the wife suddenly collapsed due to the arrival of Bu Jum. But at least Aretha's smile widened, and her heart blossomed.

"Yes, my husband is ahead. She said she was going to tidy up the garden" explained Bu Jum, pointing to the direction where her husband was.

"Oh yes already. I'm ahead first. Please help my wife, yes, ma'am."

"All right, Mr. Radit."

After Radit stepped out of the courtyard, Bu Jum swiftly helped Aretha. Actually Aretha mastered the talent of the Mother in terms of cooking. It's just that he would rather make a snack than a heavy meal. Aretha will be smarter in creating snacks. From the main dish. However, the cooking is still delicious.

Radit saw Mr. Slamet mowing the lawn in the front yard. He had brought the flower seedlings according to Aretha's order. The garden at Mr. Ibrahim's house was already pretty good. It's just that some plants wither and die. So there was some land that seemed empty when Radit and Aretha moved into the house.

Aretha deliberately wanted to plant some ornamental plants. Starting from various kinds of flowers, such as chrysanthemums that he wanted to plant long ago. But unfortunately, his house is not suitable for planting chrysanthemum flowers. Then the dream feels like it will be realized in this place.

"Sir Slamet?" call Radit.

The man with mostly gray hair came closer. "What's up, Mr Radit?"

"That's ... Eum, the door in the main room, fixed or not, yes, sir?"

"The main room door? That's it, sir. I've changed the door hinges, so it won't sound again. What's the matter, Mr Radit?" asked the man while looking up at Radit, because Radit's posture is indeed higher than Mr. Slamet.

"It's completely replaced, isn't it, sir?" ask Radit once again, affirming.

"Already, Mr. Radit. A moment." Mr. Slamet reached into his pocket and pulled out an iron that turned out to be a rusty main room door hinge. "It's an old hinge. Mr. Radit can check if the hinges are rusty or not. Because I've replaced it with the new one yesterday."

"Oh yes, sir. Don't need. I believe the same Mr. Slamet."

"What's the matter, Mr Radit? Is something wrong?"

"Eum, no, sir." Radit's answer seemed ordinary, without burden. But the look in his eyes showed unease. So that Mr. Slamet continued to ask questions after questions until finally Radit told what made him anxious.

"Oh so," said Mr. Slamet while looking serious. "Then, I'll check the condition of the door again, Mr. Radit. Maybe there's something to fix."

"Thank you, yes, sir. Then I want to go to Mr. RT's house first. There is a need," said Radit resigned.

"Oh yes, sir. Go ahead. I also want to plant the seeds. Poor thing, Ms. Aretha has been asking since yesterday."

"Yes, Sir. But you better eat first, sir. Just take it in the back" Radit said.

"Yes, Mr. Radit."

The living room of the house was cleaned. The sofa and table have been moved to the living room for a while. Because the carpet will be held for the study event later tonight.

Aretha and Radit have guests on Radit's side. They deliberately stopped by for a friendship. Most of them live in company-provided mess houses. Most of them are still single, so there is no need to bother to bring a wife or family. The team that used to be with Radit already knew Aretha. The togetherness that has been built so far, makes them a family.

There were about five people present. They are now eating a snack that Aretha has prepared, accompanied by a cup of black coffee, which makes everything complete.

Enjoying the afternoon atmosphere in the cool place, it feels to make their casual chatter can last a long time.

"Well, moving here could be considered like a second honeymoon, yeah, Dit." Norman, one of his employees who was the same age as him was often mocked Radit when he was with Aretha.

"Oh yeah should dong. Moreover, the view is very good."

"Add the atmosphere, it's cold" added another.

"That's why find a wife. Don't be a bachelor anymore" Radit quipped.

"Gue has been looking, but has not been able to. Tha, cariin dong. Who knows if there's still a single place."

"Mending nyari to ustaz ustaz, there is usually a forum for taaruf. Than I'm looking for, not necessarily a good fit."

"Ah, most Norman is still reminded of the former. So it has not been able to move on," said Hendi.

"Whose ex are you, man?" aretha asked with a puzzled expression.

"Don't belaga don't know, Tha. I have to make it clear who I mean" said Hendi.

"Oh whose initials are Citra?" aretha asked and suddenly made everyone laugh.

"That's not an initial! But the name is clear. Bini you are the most bitter to sneak me, Dit," said Norman with a bright look at Radit.

"Patience to you, man. You really can't move on, can you?" radit asked more and more to make Norman upset.

Suddenly there was a loud noise like a door being closed. Everyone was silent with a frown. "Who?"

"Sir Slamet is possible" Radit said. But from the front door Mr. Slamet actually entered because he heard the loud voice.

"That's it, Mr. Slamet!"

"Sir Radit, what's wrong? What was that loud?"

Aretha and Radit looked at each other. They also did not know what and where the loud noise came from. All they know is that it's like a door shut tight.

Finally the couple examined the source of the vote accompanied by Mr. Slamet and Hendra, Radit's bravest friend among others. Because other friends are busy eating snacks rather than having to check there.

Hendra and Radit walked first into the living room. While Aretha and Mr. Slamet just tailed behind. They got to the living room, and there was nothing there. While Bu Jum who is still cleaning the kitchen also saw their arrival. The husband approached and they whispered with the discussion of the voice earlier.

"It looks like from above," Bu Jum replied as he stared at the second floor with a scared face.

Hendra and Radit compactly looked up. Where there are no living beings there. They looked at each other and nodded. Their steps continued up the stairs. Hendra, who had just entered the house for the first time, looked around.
