Jogja At A Time
7. Unleash the Jug

Asri did not expect Sigit to see him again on campus after coming to the Mantrijeron boarding house first.

Sitting on the front balcony of the campus waiting for the next lecture hour, Asri could not avoid when Sigit approached him with some of his male friends.

From their makeup and gold necklace model, showing everything had a.

Sigit separated from his entourage, walking closer to Asri's seat.

"Good morning dear," Sigit's voice as usual flirtatious teasing Asri.

"For the mas," the stale Asri replied lazily. His heart feeling was uncertain. Leaving Sigit just like that was not good, because many were paying attention.

Besides being the chairman of the Senate. Sigit is famous for royal if it pleases anyone who wants to be near it. Especially the beautiful woman he wanted.

Mr. Sigi is the largest silver craft entrepreneur in Kotagede. Of course with all the facilities available, it is easy for Sigit to get whatever he wants.

Asri who is very tempting maleness does not want to be missed Sigit. Since seeing him at Ospek campus. Intended to pull Asri into his embrace.

Sigit's anger when Asri refused his invitation at the Mantrijeron cost instead made Sigit more determined to get Asri. No matter how.

"What time is college ?" Feel responded .... Sigit basi asked. His eyes looked at Asri.

"In a moment," the more uncomfortable Asri avoided Sigit's gaze.

"To the canteen first yuk. While waiting for college,"

"Thank you mas. I'm going to Perpus" Asri replied as he stood up.

" I happen to be going there too. You go there together." There is only a reason Sigit to be close to Asri.

Can't find any more excuses. Asri let Sigit follow him towards the Library. Sigit's friend's whistling sounded in the back.

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

The stale base in the Library was very torturous for Asri. Instead of reading a book. Sigit even constantly seduced him. Offering to drive home to the boarding after college later.

Fortunately, Asri's lecture hours arrived. Leaving Sigit who continued to follow him from the library to the front of the class. Sigit's offer was rejected as smooth asri.

There was a look of anger on Sigit's face. Only this time there was a woman who refused his invitation.

Asri did not care about Sigit's angry eyes. Entering her college classroom relieved Asri's heart.                             

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

Returning home to the Mantrijeron boarding house, Asri rushed to meet Ms. Yem who was cooking in the kitchen.

"What cooking is mbak ?" Asri asked after approaching Mbak Yem.

"Weh is ayu apparently. Cook chicken soup for your lunch." Mbak Yem looked towards Asri.

Asri often helps cook mbak Yem if you happen to finish college mbak Yem is still in the kitchen. Often helping the mother in the kitchen makes Asri happy to spend his free time cooking.

Getting acquainted with the funny Mbak Yem makes Asri familiar quickly and does not hesitate to help him cook.

Yem's widow has one child. Her husband ran away with another woman to Surabaya. So she worked at the Mantrijeron boarding house after her husband ran away. With her six-year-old daughter Sri, she occupied a room near the main door.

In addition to cooking for boarding children and eating inside, Mbak Yem was assigned to supervise the boarding of Mantrijeron's daughter who still belonged to her relatives in Solo.

Of the ten fully-filled boarding rooms, six residents chose to eat inside including Asri. Everyone went to college on the Asri campus. So almost everyone knows about Sigit on campus.

"If at night there are men who look for me other than Seti or Joe just answer me I'm out mbak," said Asri while cutting cabbage leaves.

"Indeed who's looking for you deck ?" Ma'am Yem asked.

"There's something else that I'm mbak. Just make me lazy."

Asri finally laughed at Yem's words.

"Emang mbak dare to cut birds .. hihihi..." Asri responded to Yem's grunts.

The two talked to each other about men. Of course with the female version of maturity each.

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

Relieved to release his uneg-unegnya to mbak Yem. Asri went into his room after cooking in the kitchen.

Issuing diary. As always, write the story today. Of course about the frustration to Sigit and cuteness mbak Yem.

Opened a diary about the story last week while with Seti pleasing Asri. How much the desire to be with Seti was in his heart as he passed Kyai and Nyai Daru. Hope, as Seti said, will be granted by Time.

If only Saturday tomorrow Seti comes again little heart Asri hope Seti who will take him outside to enjoy the hallways of Jogja. 

Unfortunately Seti said he would go to his friend's house in Gunung Kidul. Next Saturday he will go to Mantrijeron.

The knocking sound from the door of Asri's room diverted the diary she was reading.

Sri cute girl's smile Mbak Yem expands when Asri opens the door.

"Eat first, mbak" as usual the boy roamed the boarding room when lunch was ready.

Sri's hair was shaved upwards. Gupis teeth mostly eat candy. His cheeks are round with white skin. It adores anyone who goes there.

Sometimes Sri is the rebutting of children boarding Mantrijeron at night. They invited him to sleep in their room. Most Sri will choose to sleep with Asri if his mood is carefree. 

Asri is happy if Sri accompanies him to sleep. His round-eyed hen always wanted to know the meaning of the vocabulary he was learning to read from Bobo magazine. Magazine in Asri's childhood.

Listening to Asri read the story Bobo, Coreng, and Upik made Sri linger in Asri's room.

Luckily, Yem was strict with Sri. If he sees the boarding boy is busy with his campus duties, Sri is prohibited from disturbing them.

"Have you eaten Sri ?" Asri asked while following Sri's small steps in front of him.

"It's mbak .. use the chipper."

Tinkling sounds of spoons and forks rang out in the dining room as Asri walked in. It was seen that Tyas and his senior Linda on campus had preceded him to eat.

Tyas's room was in front of Asri's. Her son is beautiful, tomboyish and jolly. Originally from Klaten. Her hobby is up the mountain.

Linda from Cirebon. Beautiful white, chatty and hobby reading. Many of his male friends came to the Mantrijeron boarding house. 

Asri does not know whether they already have a lover or not. Still asking them more personal questions.

"Eat As," Linda rebuked Asri who was taking the plate.

"Take the plate again" replied Asri and took the rice and went to Linda.

"Sopmu son As. Yem said you cooked it, "Tyas interrupted.

"Ah just help cut potatoes with cabbage leaves," replied Asri while pouring the hot soup on her plate. 

"Mapala to Mapala to As. Let on the mountain some cook. hihihi..." Tyas invites Asri to join their campus extra-curricular.

"Ngapain As. Lack of employment .. hahaha..." Linda said, "Eh, but Tyas said. Your soup is good." praise Linda.

The table was crowded with women talking about food.
