Jogja At A Time
25. About Honesty and Trust

The Purbaya train arrived at Purwokerto station around seven p.m. Silence and Yuni were seen walking side by side leaving the train line towards the station exit. The corner of the tavern he had visited when he left for the first time to Jakarta was seen when Silence approached the station exit. Reminds a beautiful story of a sense of trust in someone who is very imprinted in his heart.

It is said that any trust in someone in charge will end with two endings. Stories about friends and stories about life lessons. The fabric of stories about trust is easy to say with beautiful words, especially when there is a passion for romance that laments it.

The relationship with Seti and Asri makes Silence learn from her past story to make her understand more about trust in someone. How distance Jakarta-Jogja teaches him about honesty in the fragility of a trust. Wirobrajan's house makes him more trusting of Seti, and instead makes him not to leave his closeness just like that, when finally Seti reveals a further relationship with Asri.

How finally Seti chose Asri as a mooring of the heart, it is not a problem for Silence. For him, expressing Seti's honesty was more than enough. Seti's assertiveness on the best choice of his heart shows that Seti trusts him as he also trusts Seti. That honesty will actually strengthen the mutual trust each believed correctly by Silence.

Silence does not want to repeat the love story of Bening who was swayed in the uncertainty of romance because of helplessness and doubt Seto revealed an honesty of choice in a relationship of mutual trust that is fragile due to coercion of will.

The taxi driver who offered services diverted the Silent memories of the corner of the tavern. Do not want to linger bargaining price, Silence asked to be delivered to Jengki's house. Before leaving Jogja, he called Bening. Tomorrow morning he went to the Hospital with Yuni to see Bening and see Joko.

...----------------...

Jengki House looks grim welcoming the arrival of Silence and Yuni like to know the difficulties that are facing its residents. Only the patio lights were lit when Silence and Yuni entered his courtyard.

"Nobody in a house this big Hen ?" Tanya Yuni while putting a large cardboard box containing samples of Malioboro lap merchandise on the terrace of Jengki house.

"none. Ms. Ning is only alone with Mas Joko in this house. During my illness, the house is empty" replied Silently while unlocking the front door. The key to Jengki's duplicate house was given to him when he came home to see Joko when he was first treated at the Hospital.

The lights that were turned on Silence after entering Jengki's house turned on the gloom of the house.

Yuni sat in the living room, letting Silence open the room after the two entered Jengki's house.

A large painting of a pair of men and women in Javanese clothes is displayed on the wall above a buffet full of knickknacks of pottery crafts from various regions.

From the style of the paint strokes and the paint brush, Yuni guessed the painting must have been made by Silence.

"Sit down first Yun while taking a break, I prepared the bedroom for a while," the silent voice from inside the room distracted Yuni from every corner of the living room she was observing.

"Don't bother Hen, you're still tired, too" Yuni replied.

"A little while, you're my guest now anyway,"

It seems that Silence wants to make Yuni comfortable and at home in Jengki, just as she feels comfortable and at home in Wirobrajan for two days in Jogja accompany Yuni.

If he does not know Yuni, of course, the separation of his past story with Seti will leave a wound. Fortunately Yuni is not the type of girl who is whiny with the story of her love past. His coming back contact with Seti at the home of Wirobrajan made a new story about his closeness to Seti and of course Asri.

"Cure the water for a quick shower Yun, all for coffee and noodles. Put your stuff in my room, "just before long silence comes out of the room he cleaned.

"Ah you make a fuss," Yuni followed the words of Silence. Move to the designated room in silence.

"Later after the bath we sit on the back porch while having a coffee." Keep quiet while walking towards the kitchen.

...----------------...

The back porch lights highlight two grown women sitting next to each other on the back porch of Jengki's house. Looking fresh with their respective beauty after the bath, Silent and Yuni enjoyed the hot noodles that were on the table. Tired of the journey Jogja Purwokerto seems to have disappeared replaced by hunger.

"Enak is also the house of Hen," Yuni said on the sidelines of her hot noodle soup.

"The house of the Father and Mother," replied Yuni slowly.

"Ah no problem, I'm fine," Silent smiled towards Yuni, relieving Yuni's condolences. "Especially since knowing you, I'm not shaken by the past," he said again.

"I know that. Even I saw you were fine after meeting Seti," Yuni switched the conversation about Father and Mother Silence.

"And I learned a lot from your love story, .. hihihi ..." Silent laughs loosely in response to the words of Yuni who seemed to want to know more about her, Seti and of course Asri.

"What kind of Asri are you telling me ?" As Silence had guessed, Yuni wanted to know about Asri.

"Good and very beautiful son. She's Joko's sister Ning," replied Silently, "We've stayed close until now. Tomorrow we'll meet him" he continued.

"Would he be honest with you ?"

"Honest about what ?"

"About her relationship with Seti," Yuni replied while spending the rest of the noodles in her bowl.

"Content, ... I think he would be frank if I told him about my meeting with Seti in Jogja," said Hening while cleaning the bowl of noodles that had been finished.

Yuni looked at Silence while lighting a cigarette, "So before meeting Seti in Jogja you didn't know the seriousness of their relationship yet ?"

"Hihihi .. You're like Ning's mom," Silence lit a cigarette, sucked it deeply, "From Seti's letters I've felt it she thinks of me as a sister. Mas Seto Seti's brother used to be Ning's mistress,"

"Ah right Hen,"

"They parted well after Ms. Ning accepted Joko's mas,"

"Now Seti's brother is married too ?"

"Not yet, still sailing,"

"Oh being Seti's sister is a sailor" Yuni said as she drank the coffee in front of her.

"Seti said, Mas Seto will see Mas Joko as soon as possible,"

"Can they know each other ?"' Yuni was curious to know again.

"They were together in Semarang first during the cruise course,"

"You two sisters can have a relationship without ever knowing each other's relationship,"

"Hihii .. it is like that. I can't believe it either" replied Silently, "Then about Doni ?" This time Silence turned around wanting to know the extent of Doni and Yuni's closeness.

Yuni stuttered slightly in response to the Silent chatter that now wanted to know the story of her closeness to Doni. "Do I need to answer now ?"

The two laughed together after looking at each other. The back porch of Jengki's house was warm with a conversation about men. Silent with her past with Seti, while Yuni with a story about Doni who does not know how the story ends ...
