episode 52

...🌸 Happy Reading 🌸...

Rico drove his motorcycle at medium speed and according to the direction of Bimo who was riding behind, and, Rico stopped and parked his motorbike neatly in the parking lot of a restaurant on the side of the road followed by a car that was boarded by Mbok Nah. Bimo got off the bike and approached him. Similarly, with Rico, seeing Nah and Tejo getting out of the car, Rico ran up to them.

"Lho, uh, mbok Nah and Mr Tejo here too?" Greetings Rico.

"Njih den." Sahut mbok Nah and Tejo simultaneously..

"Would you like to see Inem?" Ask Rico.

"Njih den." Mbok Sahut Well again.

"Oh yeah Inem where did you go these few days not go to college? He's not sick anymore, is he?" Ask Rico again.

"Well, Aden have met non Inem?" Ask mbok Well back.

"Not just meet mbok, we're one more campus." Rico Said.

"Den Bimo has met non Inem?"

"Already,, already talking continued into yuk! It's not good to talk in a gini parking lot." Said Bimo who immediately invited everyone into the restaurant.

In the restaurant they sat down and Bimo waved his hand at a servant. Seeing Bimo's cue, the servant came over to him.

"Good day, please choose the menu!" Greet the waiter while putting the menu list on the table and develop a smile on his lips.

"Bok Nah same pack Tejo aja that you like!" Bimo.

Enthusiastically pack Tejo take a list of that menu and look - see the contents of the list. But mbok Nah nudged the arm of Tejo's pack so his view now turned towards mbok Nah. Mr. Tejo who understood the signal from mbok Nah is now grunting annoyed. He couldn't spoil his stomach with a delicious meal.

"No need to bother den, we have eaten earlier and sorry we can not long here because our train is soon leaving! Mbok Nah.

"Lhoh mbok Nah want to go back to Jogja?" Ask Bimo.

"Njih den." Mbok Nah nodded slowly. "Why did you get here and meet non Inem the story den?"

"Oh that's because Rico asked for help with cousin Rico who was here mbok. After mbok Nah sama pak Tejo stingy did not want to tell Inem's whereabouts to us." Grumbled Rico.

"Sorry den, not the intention mbok intend to be like that. It's just that non Inem does not allow mbok to talk. Because non Inem said there'd be time for him to talk to himself about den Bimo and den Rico." Mbok Nah.

"Oh yes mbok, Inem trus here tuh actually live the same who ya mbok? Isn't Inem no other family? Why did Inem have to move here?" Bimo asked consecutively to reduce his curiosity.

"Once again sorry! All the questions aden let non Inem himself answer. I have no right to answer it." Mbok Nah was downcast while playing his fingers to cover his nervousness.

"Thank you, I tried asking, but he just said they were distant relatives."

"Mbok, wes wayahe died at the station! Go,,, ! Even late ra sido back." Tejo chirps who do not want his wife depressed because of questions from Bimo and Rico.

(Mbok, it's time to go to the mbok station. Go,,, ! It was too late to go home. )

Mbok Nah nodded and said goodbye to the two young men. Then they went to the parking lot. But when mbok Nah will get in the car, mbok Nah pull Bimo and take him away from Rico and Tejo.

"What's the mbok?" Ask Bimo who is confused about Nah's unusual attitude.

"What does mbok mean?" Bimo was even more curious.

"Excuse me, den!" Pamit mbok Nah while releasing his grip.

Instead of answering the question posed by Bino, mbok Nah instead walked quickly back to the car and get inside while Bimo just fixated trying to digest the speech mbok Nah.

In the evening Bimo felt angry that he could not sleep. That's because he couldn't contact Inem since he missed his girlfriend so much.

As he lay staring at the sky - the sky of his room, suddenly he remembered the words Well earlier this afternoon right in the parking lot. He asks himself why did Nah say that and why did he have to let Inem go? So who exactly are the people that the family says they are?

There are so many questions in Bimo's mind right now. Moreover, the attitude of Inem the end - this end is not as usual while still in Jogja. Bimo felt that something was covered by Inem and Nah. But what,,,?

While Bimo was dissolving in his daydream, there was a loud sound and a strong shock from someone who immediately broke his daydream.

"Hoee, instead of sleeping even dumb!!!" Rico shouted while shaking Bimo's body.

It turns out that the culprit is Rico. Rico then sat next to Bimo who also rose from his sleep and sat in the mattress.

"However, watch out for kesambet!" Chirping Rico while laughing.

"What the hell? Your jokes aren't funny Co." Bimo Sahut.

"What do you think Bim is serious about?"

Bimo then told him what had become his heart. Bimo also said that the speech was right when he wanted to go to the station.

Hearing Bimo's story, Rico also seemed to seriously think. Actually from some questions Bimo had crossed in the mind of Rico as well. Rico also said it to Bimo, but they haven't got the answer yet. Especially when asked, Inem only dodged and instead diverted the conversation. This made the two of them even more curious.

Like ironing, Rico has now risen from his seat and walked back and forth in front of Bimo who is still sitting looking at his behavior. Rico's left hand ruffled his waist while his right hand rubbed his nape. How long does the step stop and then sit back in its original place while saying.

"How about we find out where Bim's guy came from?" Called Rico who suddenly came up with an idea.

"Who?" Ask Bimo.

"That's, you know, what you've told me before. The guy who dragged Inem fit in the cafe first. You want to?"

"Oh, what did Inem say was his brother?" Ask Bimo back.

"Ho oh right, right, right, right." Said Rico while mimicking the style of children's animated film characters.

"Think,,, ! If he is just a brother, then why is his attitude until his side is the same Inem just see Inem both are the same as you? Isn't it natural?" Said Rico again.

"It's only natural, he can mandate to take care of Inem."

"Aiihh Bimo, take care of it, but not that time either. Try to associate with the words mbok Nah that you just said earlier!"

Bimo started thinking again. Trying to digest what his best friend said.
