Jogja At A Time
39. About Love

Good morning greetings heard from the radio at the Samirono boarding house. The topic of love then flowed into the language of the broadcast on a Sunday morning that was a little cloudy.

The soft voice of the female announcer who was skinning the effects of a love interest Seto to follow her.

The narrative of love jolts his soul again after a night of accompanying Bening at the home of Wirobrajan.

Feeling the influence of the love that still exists makes the cold heart of Seto melt with that feeling. Trying to relieve sadness and all problems Bening protracted in his way. Hope the affection given by him will be a useful support for Bening.

Respecting and caring for loved ones in earnest, feels good.

Being loved is better than loving, but it goes deeper when there is a mutual love. That is what Seto is feeling now when he returns the greeting of Bening's heart.

Feeling that there was still enough time to spend his coffee and cigarettes before picking up Bening at Wirobrajan's house, Seto continued to listen to the soothing love narrative of his morning.

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

Dressings and makeup as necessary do not hide the beauty of the Bening face. His smile returned that morning as Silence tried to flirt in front of the mirror.

"Ehem ... I could dress up again" said Silence after a long silence commenting on her brother.

"Hen's shower ?" Clear diverted the temptation of his sister. Her cheeks were somehow hot to hear her sister's temptation.

"Ntar siangan mbak .. anyways if you just want to hang out in malioboro with Yuni, Joe and Doni ngapain must be fragrant .. hihihi ...," Silent who is still lying answers as soon as possible.

Both laughed out.

After the brother sister's chat about Jengki's house was discussed last night, there was now relief from both.

After Seto from Wirobrajan's house there are two hours of Clear and Silent discussing about Jengki's house. In any case, Silence did not mind if Jengki's house was abandoned after Bening decided not to stay in the house again.

It's just that if Jengki's house will indeed be sold, Hening advised that after Bening her brother married again.

"Who said you'd marry again ?" Bening tried to twitch from the rumbling of his heart. As much as possible hide about Seto to Silence.

"If that's what you want, .. I'm not gonna let you drag on in your past ... Come with me." Seto's soft voice last night was still ringing in Bening's ears as he again asked Seto's opinion to leave Jengki's house. That night Seto firmly answered his request.

"My word, ..." A Silent Voice distracts the Clear memories of Seto.

Mutually stare. Bening hugged his sister tightly. There is a new cheer from both at home Wirobrajan ...

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

At eight o'clock in the morning, the RX-Special that entered the home page of Wirobrajan made the heart pounding faster.

A tall figure in a black jacket approached the hallway of Wirobrajan's house.

"Here comes breakfast first good," om Rudi greeted Seto from sitting on the terrace. It seemed that he was enjoying the warmth of the morning sun whose rays partially pierced the roof of the passageway.

Go up to the terrace floor. Seto greeted Rudi and sat in front of him.

"Yes, .." said Seto, shoving a pack of cigarettes into Rudi.

"So to Drini today To ?" om Rudi received a pack of cigarettes that were handed out by Seto. He took out a stick and sucked it deep after Seto pushed a match.

"So om," Seto helped light a cigarette accompanied Rudi.

The two chatted about a lot of men's business. Smoke and steeping coffee add to the joy of the home Wirobrajan. Intergenerational male chats continued to comb through that morning. Of course, each topic is framed from the point of view of each era.

Soon Yuni came out from inside carrying a tray. Two dishes of fried rice that were still smoking mixed with spices diverted the two men's chatter.

No wait long Mr. Yuni started playing his spoon. "Spend To .. add if still less," he continued in between a spoonful of fried rice from a plate.

"Yes om," unwilling to disappoint the host, Seto followed a scoop of fried rice in front of him.

"Not a nak ?" Tanya Silence who followed outside. Two glasses of water were placed on the table.

"That's your cooking Hen," replied Rudi. "Far with Yuni cuisine.. hahaha.." he continued, chuckling.

"Ah Father was just teaching me a picture .. of course I'm not good at cooking," Yuni who followed to the terrace to deliver bananas protesting the words of her father. His face was pouted as he put the banana he had brought to the table.

Bening was seen following later in the direction of the home of Wirobrajan between the familiar contradictions of om Rudi and Yuni.

Sitting next to Seto made the argument switch topics towards him.

Bening felt his blood flow erratic. The taste that once perched on the slopes of Mount Slamet appeared again.

"Asiiik .. ," Silence chimed in. Seeing the wrong behavior of her brother, she allowed the guess if Bening was in love again. A carefree laugh looking grimly at her brother was seen pulling over.

"Have you had breakfast ?" Not wanting to linger seeing the wrong behavior, Rudi turned the chat towards the three women in front of him.

"Of course" answered Bening short.

"Let's bring a lobster... I haven't tasted lobster in a long time,"

"Ah Father.. cholesterol sir .. cholesterol," Yuni interjected from beside her father.

"There is only a little .. there is a doctor if the headache of my father," argued om Rudi. His sneer towards Yuni made the familiar contradiction of father and son repeated in the hallway of the Wirobrajan house.

Occasionally there was a laugh from Seto, Bening and Silent heard the dispute which showed how close the closeness between om Rudi and Yuni was the only daughter.

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

RX-Special was seen leaving Wirobrajan's house at nine in the morning. Om Rudi reminded his lobster order when Seto and Bening say goodbye.

It looks like Seto does not want to rush to point the bike in the direction of Drini. Choosing a leisurely ride on the bike, enjoying the togetherness with Bening who hugged his tight waist.

Seeing the loose smile of the woman who had once stopped in his heart, Seto guessed there was no problem with the Bening and Silent talk. Letting and looking at the long-overlooked carefree smile without bothering to tease her with further curiosity about the conversation.

"I'll propose to you later in Drini." Rumbling Seto's heart was tight. This time his maleness did not hesitate to be immediately expressed.

The right words to express later along the journey try to be carefully assembled by Seto ... However, the guilt still persists ...

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

"Stop the To, ..." Bening patted Seto's shoulder after passing the incline of Irung Petruk.

"What's up ?" Ask Seto after stopping the bike.

"Drink first yuk,"

"There's no restaurant here" an astonished voice rang out from Seto's mouth looking right left.

"Who's driving to the restaurant," Bening got off the bell. "I brought a coffee flask .. enough for both," he continued, taking out a small flask from his backpack.

Seto received a glass of hot coffee from Bening's hand after pulling the motor over the shade of the Teak tree.

"You accomplished ?" Seto asked in between his coffee.

"Gaklah ..," Bening smiled. "Still far away ?" Ask Bening later.

"Lumayan, .. but if you reach later we rest first in Wonosari," replied Seto. "Your homemade coffee is delicious and refreshing," he continued while thrusting the glass back towards Bening.

Clear smooth hand is clearly visible when receiving coffee sodoran from Seto's hand. A small laugh justifies the effect of the coffee that was just drunk.

"Silent nights talk a lot with me,"

"There's no problem with that conversation, right ?" Seto tried to justify his conjecture.

"No,"

"Thank God,"

"Just Silence seems to tell me to remarry, ..." This time Bening's eyes stared intently at the man in front of him.

"Good .. at least you won't be alone anymore" Seto returned the gaze.

"You yourself how To ? Want to be alone like this ?" It seems Bening is trying to provoke the continuation of his closeness with Seto.

"Later I'll tell Drini what I'm going to do about my life" Seto put his arm around Bening's shoulder.

Both of them then close their bodies with their own heart guesses.

The old love that repeats is always fun. Of course with more caution when sowing again ...
