LIFE (Han, Ian, Dina, Ute & Pras)
Ep. 22 Shake Asmara.. (Han, Ute and Pras)

...~ HAN ~...

“How ‘te?” ask me to Ute who is concentrating on his HP, exchanging messages with Dina through wa.

“Okeh Kak, Ka’ Dina is also again a cruise, he just got BIP to buy ATK he said and I agreed to meet him about half an hour again” replied Ute ceria.

“Okeh, wear your seat belt deck!” my orders again while getting ready to run this rental car towards the BIP.

“Every senior.the spirit of speeding to do good.” replied Ute jokingly as usual while putting on a seat belt and clenching hands give encouragement.

It's the comfort I feel with her. All the jokes and comments of Ute that once felt brazen, now only contain funny that cheer the day. Even if at first glance I remember a few words, I often smile to myself, which several times makes me forced to explain with lies to the people around me, who might be worried, but mostly relieved, by this change in my attitude.

“So later Ka’ Han wait aja us at the restaurant, Ka’ Han ready to meet Ka’ Dina ya! Do not get nervous let alone show the impression of not sure the same words Brother. Let me first pick up Ka’ Dina in *ramedia, all of you give time for Ka’ Dina also to not be able to refuse our request.. Haish, hopefully my acting is quite convincing.” said Ute a moment later.

“Semangat Ute..” I said later while clenching his hands modeled after his style.

“Hahaha.. ga is too funny, but good enough for a Ka’ Han.” said Ute sarcartis.

“Hei!!” my exclaim put on a look of pretending not to accept with his ridicule.

“Sorry Brother, as you know so far, I’m just being honest as usual.” he said again while raising his shoulders and winking cute eyes. (translation: I'm just used to being honest as usual)

“Yes you should always be honestly hurtful as well as kale ‘te?” I said I still don't want to lose an argument.

“If it hurts you, but honesty is still the best!” Suddenly he fell silent, like just remembering something and again said: “Hadeuh, just realized me, if we are on the way to a lie. ga pantes banged calling for the statement yes?” Ute again said while clapping his hands to his forehead and at a glance seen his face reddened with embarrassment.

‘Ampyun deh, the more cute this beautiful girl's behavior. It seems that the despair in this self every day is getting bigger, but I have to prepare the heart, just in case in the end reality will not be in accordance with expectations.’ my inner self is softened.

“I smell the scent of regret neh, do we want to undo the plan to pretend dating in front of Dina neh dek?” I expect Ute will say no and remain determined to continue our plan.

“Hm.. seems to continue, brother, our intention is not for good. according to Ka’ Han how?” reply Ute with a follow-up question after a moment of silence.

“I follow your decision only. Abdi mah kumaha sae na wae.” I said then imitate the term often spoken Sundanese around Ksatrian when asked for his opinion. (translation: I seh how good it is)

“Ka’ Han feels ga seh if your character has changed a lot?” ask Ute again while turning her face to observe my face carefully.

“Meanway? What kind of changes does deck?” tanyaku pretended not to understand the direction of the conversation. Even though those who say it have been some people and inevitably, I also began to examine myself and realize, my character is now more tolerant and began to be able to accept the situation and conditions as they are.

“Ka’ Han is not as old as I used to be, in the beginning we met. If it used to be Ka’ Han it was like a dry kanebo, stiff abiz.” replied Ute lightly.

“Hei!” my sergeant again pretended to be angry.

We laughed together not long after. Both laughed at the development of our relationship, which completely deviated from the estimates.

“Since I was allowed to absorb the liquid of cheerfulness and wisdom that comes out of a Ute, it just started to be able to be more tolerant and accept whatever it is. Thank you yes ‘te..” said I broke the silence after the laughter.

It did not feel the car I drove into the parking area and we walked together to enter the mall. Then we parted at the front door of the restaurant, I noticed the figure of Ute walking away until she entered the bookstore *ramedia. Then I went into the restaurant and was greeted by the waiter who after giving greetings and asking for the number of visitors, then directed me to the best table. I also ordered a number of food menus and ordered to be served as soon as my friends attended later.

Then I took a sitting position facing the entrance, so that Ute and Dina would have no trouble finding our table.

...***...

Not long after, the two slim figures in PDP (Jail Service Clothes) uniform also entered my eyes and unconsciously I waved and stood up to welcome their arrival.

“Hi Dina..” my greeting as if to make Dina look fixated for a moment.

“Good day Brother.” Dina finally replied awkwardly, trying to pull her right hand which was seen in a coupling with Ute, probably to give PPM.

“Udah just sit you guys, do not PPM everything.” my word again.

I gave a questioning look towards Ute who nimbly (looks innocent without guilt) pulled Dina's hand to sit beside her, while she herself sat down before me.

“So this Ka’ Han and Ka’ Dina don't need to be introduced again right?” tanya Ute turned her face towards me and Dina took turns. Then it seemed to whisper in Dina's ear, which seemed to then roll her eyes.

“How are you doing Dina?” ask me a moment later.

“Good Brother.. I see Ka’ Han's condition is also fine huh?” said Dina slowly with her distinctive style of slow but firm, again showing her sweet dimples.

I also smiled, tried to calm this heartbeat, then said: “I've ordered food and drinks for the three of us, hopefully my choice is suitable for you guys yes.” while flicking your fingers, I've ordered food and drink, I asked the waiters to serve the ordered dish earlier.

Shortly after, several types of food (fish, squid, shrimp, duck, dried vegetables and soup) appeared to be served on our table.

“Already out all orders yes sir? For his drink is there extra or enough hot lemon tea in this pitcher pack?” ask a waiter a few seconds later.

“I want Hot Americano only, but later after eating yes. Ute and Dina want to drink what?” ask them both.

“I want ice summer-brize if there is yes.” replied Ute quickly, while Dina still seems to need time to determine additional drinks by opening the menu book.

But finally the menu book he closed and said: “I am enough, no need for additional.”

“Okeh.. can you directly eat neh huh Kak-kakak?” asked Ute Jahil towards Dina and me.

I returned to smiling cheerfully with the cuteness of Ute and then said: “Please enjoy. happy meal Ute and Dina.”.

“Bon appetit..” says Ute again after praying for a moment. (translation: good meal)

“So in Ka’ opinion Dina how neh?” asked Ute suddenly, I noticed that Dina was surprised and sprayed her drinking water a little.

“Wait for us to finish eating Ute, just chat again. Poor Dina until surprised ituh.” my word then and push the tissue box towards Dina.

“Abis is not strong I am in silence Kak.. as again in the grave ajah.” replied Ute again stubbornly, then added innocently: “Tadi we sepercah about the continuation of our relationship Kak, kak, anyway I leave it to Ka’ Dina who decides, whether we will win or can be more than temen..” said Ute again, which makes Dina look more surprised than before.

I again directed my full concentration to Dina who was seen trying to swallow her food, then replied: “Herm.. it was up to Ute.” and Dina poured the drink into her glass and drank it.

“Daddy, Ka’ Dina from earlier refused to be involved. I don't know why. whereas Ka’ Dina is like Ute's own sister. Like a substitute parent, sometimes we need the opinions of others we trust when hesitant in making decisions. Is it Ka’ Han?” ask Ute further innocently.

“Your opinion is not wrong Ute, but maybe Dina aga doubt because me and Dina once had a story that did not end happily. It was only natural that Dina was reluctant to argue. Maybe he does not want the end of our relationship will experience the same thing.” my words slowly.

“But the story of Ka’ Han and Ka’ Dina is not over yet.. There can still be a sequel, who knows it will be again?” said Ute again while calmly feeding her food.

“Apaan seh Ute! Like to talk if you say.” said Dina looks pronounced while trying Ute's waist.

“So brother-in-law means Kak. ka’ Dina is Ute's only sister, while if Ka’ Han will be the same Ute, you will be your brother-in-law..” said Ute again explaining while winking one eye at me, who again could only smile happily in response to Ute's ignorance.

“I mean Ute might be like Dina. She wants you to bless our relationship. He doesn't want unfinish businesses between us. So your input is important for him to step up.. To be honest, I am also waiting for your opinion.and I will personally accept, if you think, the relationship between me and Ute should be enough just a friend.” my word again. (translation: the unfinished problem)

Dina was seen re-chugging her lemon-tea, before finally saying: “Alright, it looks like the two of you have made a deal before entering this conversation. Once again I apologize to Ka’ Han.Our relationship did not go according to expectations and it is not my fault we both, it is just the condition. So if asked if I approve of Ka’ Han and Ute's relationship, my answer is YES. I think Ka’ Han and Ute are a good match, I think, they can understand and understand each other. Mengkin you do not realize it, but you often communicate without words and I really hope your relationship can last full of happiness.”

The silence was re-created, for a while no one made a sound. We were swept back in each other's minds. Until finally there was a waiter who approached us and asked if he could serve my desserts and coffee orders.

“Alright, I think my current existence is no longer needed. If I may say goodbye first and preferably Ka’ Han and Ute discuss with more depth his future relationship plan. Again, congratulations on the relationship.” said Dina a moment later in a sad tone.

“Thank you yes Dina. I hope you can also soon get a matching and best partner for your future.” replied me finally.

“Thank you Ka’ Dina..” I also heard Ute saying while holding Dina's hand tightly for a moment, before Dina finally stood up and left the restaurant in silence.

I could not bear to see Ute's hand lying on the table and holding it trying to comfort and strengthen Ute, giving her spirit. It felt comfortable when our hands were holding tightly. The white palm of Ute's hand, felt smooth as I stroked it with my thumb, then the strangest thing happened.

I realized I wanted Ute. He wants it to be my whole thing.

Very badly wanted it. Even if it was just a mere crumb, like clasping his hands at a glance, sitting next to him, listening to his laughter, perhaps later seeing the red hue of his cheeks or smelling the fragrance of his body..

I don't know why this surprised me. Of course I want Ute. I'm a hot-blooded batak man, like any normal man, who wouldn't be able to spend as much time near a woman as pretty and attractive as a Ute without wanting one.

But at this moment, sitting face to face while grasping Ute's hand, the sense of wanting to have it became extremely urgent.

...***...

...~ UTE ~...

Aura Ka’ Dina increasingly darkened full of grief, when I finally heard his voice break the silence that momentarily created: “Alright, I think my existence is no longer needed. If I may say goodbye first and preferably Ka’ Han and Ute discuss with more depth his future relationship plan. Again, congratulations on the relationship.”

“Thank you yes Dina. I hope you can also soon get a matching and best partner for your future.” replied Ka’ Han further with an aura that also darkens.

Ever since learning to read auras, I have understood that dark auras are contagious. When we attend someone's funeral, then that dark aura dominates. Especially when looking at the aura of family grief that is left behind, even up to infants or toddlers (whose aura is relatively still very pure, usually white or transparent pink), when they are present at the funeral site, their aura can be contaminated. That is probably why, it is not recommended to bring small children to the funeral home.

Without being able to hold it, my hand held Ka’ Dina tightly even though it was only for a moment cold and said: “Thank you Ka’ Dina..” before finally Ka’ Dina stood up and left the restaurant in silence with an aura that was still full of darkness.

My aura, which momentarily darkened with the aura of Ka’ Dina, suddenly felt a bright aga, like smoke blown by a fresh wind, then my gaze was glued to the hands of Ka’ Han, my eyes were fixed on the hands of Ka<TAG1> Han, with her faint pink aura, as if trying to comfort and strengthen me. It felt comfortable when our hands held tight, even when Ka’ Han's hands began to caress my hands with his thumb.

‘Oh Lord, what is this?’ my mind glares. This feeling I had never felt before, a feeling of being loved and cared for with great, sincerity. The comfort of life that I never seemed to feel, is much more beautiful in this heart, when compared to the luxury of life that I used to enjoy alone.

We do not know how long our hands are interlocked, but when the strains of instrumental music titled “Perfect” from Ed Sheeran that I like the lyrics stop, the lyrics stop, I also pulled my hand which I realized changed the aura emanated from Ka’ Han, from soft pink to light purple.

“Shouldn't we follow Ka’ Dina ya Kak?” many finally. And back to say when Ka’ Han's view like asking ‘Why’: “So I'm not worried that Ka’ Dina, who's upset, why-why on the road?”

“Galau? It's just that you know Dina again upset dek” asked her with an amused smile that seemed to be unable to hold Ka’ Han.

“Please deh Kak, sensitive little so men can right? Ka’ Dina, who incidentally once felt to be the most important part of Big Brother's life, just received news that his position was replaced, he said, while he himself has no one to replace Big Brother in his heart, it is logical that he feels upset.” I said a little annoyed.

“Dina who I know is a rational person and can always carry and take care of herself very well. It doesn't look like it's going to be a macem-macem.” Ka’ Han said further after seeming to think or remember a moment.

“Okey.. okey..” replied Ka’ Han later, flicking his finger calling the waiter to hand over our lunch bill this.

“Hayu lah Kak, will be lost track Ka’ Dina us.” I said again in front of the cashier table and Ka’ Han just smiled in response, type a pin on the expedition machine and receive a receipt with his card.

I unconsciously pulled Ka’ Han's hand while looking for the figure of Ka’ Dina who was full of darkness. But what I felt was even a pink aura that came back out, from a Ka’ Han who followed my steps with full patience.

It didn't take long, the figure of Ka’ Dina appeared on the tail of my eyes, moving towards the exit of the mall. But he looked not alone and the aura of Ka’ Dina, although still relatively dark was also not as dark as before. The aura of the figure beside him is very familiar to me, feels cool. Ka’ Pras really is at the right time.

“Nah Ute my dear, your worries are not proven right?” the sound of Ka’ Han sound very close to my ears, had made me creepy, but not in a creepy way, but still feels tickling. I immediately pulled my hand from his grasp.

“You're not well ‘te? Kog your face flushed?” asked Ka’ Han again, boldly putting her palm on my forehead as if to measure her temperature. Then when I clapped his hand with a pouting face, I heard his laughter unravel, as a tinge of pink aura earlier.

“If Ute does not have a fever, your cheeks are now flushed is it because it is blushing? Do not think me, if a Ute who does not know fear, it can also blush.” said Ka’ Han again with a seductive smile that somehow looks just widened in size.

“Neither ach..” I said briefly clenched his mouth tightly after.

“Iya seh,” rebut Ka’ Han again: “Your cheeks are blushing.”

“If my cheeks turn red, it must be because I was wondering why a Wasana Praja who has many fans of this, could-can obey all my requests that only a Young Praja..” I said then perfunctorily.

“Your mouth and attitude are too intelligent for a junior. how can I ignore it?” ask Ka’ Han again, now without a smile.

“Sorry Kak..” said then in a hurry, while making up: ‘Feel already very late with senior neh. Sometimes if you are too pampered, like not self-conscious so I am.. Remember your position Ute. You are just a boong-boongan girlfriend.. Don't forget yourself.’

“Hey, I say so as a compliment. There are rarely juniors who dare to oppose their seniors, even if it is for good. Please don't hold back just because of our senior-junior status!” Ka’ Han looked surprised by my reaction, then we were silent for a while and finally Ka’ Han again said slowly: “In my opinion, your attitude feels a bit.” Ka’ Han was silent for a moment, as if he was looking for the right word, then continued: “Fresh.” with a fresh light green aura that was clear.

Unable to resist teasing her back, I got closer to our standing position and said: “Did Ka’ Han always fascinate like this to everyone or just with me huh?”

“Surely only with-mu Ute.” Ka’ Han now grinned and continued his sentence: “I will have to constantly make sure that you will still act as my beloved girlfriend. For the sake of Dina, your dear sister, then I must bring out my best qualities.”

“Oh okay..” I said a moment later, maybe with reddened cheeks, because the heat I can feel on this cheek, like a senior slapped out, but in a way that calms and makes comfortable, then add: “Thank you Brother.”

Ka’ Han chuckled again in a happy laugh and this time I smiled.

“So after making sure your dear Ka’ Dina has a guard, who is none other than your Ka’ Pras who you also care about, where will we go today?” ask Ka’ Han again after her laughter subsided.

“Back home Kak, although I am happy to be able to entertain and cheer Big Brother, but it feels lazy if it becomes a joke someone continuously.” I said continue my style of snacking that had turned cheerful.

“Sorry beautiful Ute.. sorry to bang, but promise I won't laugh at you again. don't go straight home! How about we go for a walk first? Cruise is still long. time to go home directly?” quickly Ka’ Han said as he raised both his hands as if giving up and a moment later put his palms together like begging.

I can only smile in response to her request, while listening to a soft song on the mall's court, titled ‘Permission to Dance’ by BTS: ‘Yeah, ‘Cause we don’ need permission to dance.’ my inner self follows the lyrics of the song and enjoys the comfort that has been created between us. (translation: because we do not need permission to dance)

...***...

...~ PRAS ~...

My brain couldn't stop thinking about how to get closer to a Dina who kept her distance and shut herself down after dropping her off.

It seemed like Dina's cold figure was getting tighter and tighter seizing my attention. It no longer mattered whether we could chat or keep quiet with each other's thoughts, I just liked being around her, something about Dina's presence that made me feel at peace.

It was like constantly looking at the figure from behind, but the sky seemed to suddenly open wide and in a flash of lightning flashed, for a moment I saw the look of his head and was like a fool, it makes my smile spread wide while being deeply: ‘There is still hope.’

It only takes about 1 minute to make the PDP (journey service wear) that I wear fully soaked. I should have walked shivering in the cold towards my guesthouse, the temperature of Jatinangor in the rain was relatively unfriendly to the human body, yet I felt full of hope now.

‘Well, if love is a fool, let me enjoy this folly.’ my mind is back in tears supporting the stupid smile that remains on my face despite walking in the rain.

When I was with Dina, even in silence without conversation, I could always feel something different inside me, a throbbing and quivering sensation, which in normal conditions should make me feel scared, because there is a difficult feeling of breathing periodically, but the dominant passion felt, further strengthening my determination to be able to have this woman named Dina.

It is still clear in my memory, when Ka’ Han proclaimed Dina as his girlfriend. It was as if the earth was flat and Dina's figure disappeared, as if falling right on her edge without a trace. Disappointment took hold of me for a moment of agony, several times I forced myself to give up and forget.

It is not a characteristic of a true man if he still wants to belong to others. In some ways, I gave up. I no longer visit the library as often as I used to, in order to see the seriousness when reading in that corner and I also no longer compare every Praja Woman who interacts with me with the figure of a Dina. ‘If Dina were faced with this situation, surely she would take this action.’ often my inner self unconsciously thinks so when there is a junior asking for my advice or opinion.

However, I still could not prevent myself from looking around for Dina in the crowd. For a moment that disappointment did indeed feel thickened, I might no longer feel the same urgency as before, but each time faced with a swarm of Madya Praja, I could not help but feel the same, I found myself circulating this gaze throughout his ranks in search of his figure and as he entered within the reach of my eyes, subconsciously I would immediately move closer and sharpen my hearing in order to catch a faint echo of his voice.

Dina may have belonged to Ka’ Han, but when I was able to accept the reality and not as intelligent as before to observe Dina's movements, I suddenly heard the grapevine that they had split up, exactly after the implementation of the final leave of last semester.

Ka’ Han also looked closer to Ute (suggested that they spent the past holidays together in Jakarta) and I found myself facing a Dina with a cold and closed figure.

So I remained hopeful and resourceful and went back to observing intensely.

As a child who despite material deprivation, but I grew up in a large family full of affection. Father and Mother are parents who educate their children to be proud of their own families, regardless of our condition. Mutual caring is something that we naturally always do, such as: exchanging news with relatively frequent intensity, giving a pat on the shoulder to encourage, such as, comforting and listening to complaints and even exchanging warm hugs. We are also accustomed to being sensitive to the emotional needs of others. No one is ever left alone in grief.

These things certainly build my character. I believe in true love and it is foolish not to fight for it when I find it.

Love is real.

Love is not just the imagination of poets they create in poetry to sell in order to avoid hunger.

Love may not be visible to the naked eye, not manifested by the human sense of smell, hearing, taste or touch, but it is everywhere. But unlike the air we can breathe freely, love only comes to a person within a certain period of time and is usually unexpected arrival. So basically, it's just a matter of time for everyone to be able to feel love.

And Dinah is the meaning of the word love for me.

I don't exactly understand why Dina, I'm just sure that I found her.. Dina was something so important, it even shook my world and she changed my life.

At our first meeting, my heart knew it immediately.

When his figure entered into this eye view, I froze, stunned. The air did not flow as it should, as if it disappeared slowly and was not left. I could only stand looking at him, feeling empty and wanting him.

All I could think of when I saw the dimples in her faint yet gentle smile, was: ‘I was hers’. There is no place for another woman in this heart. The excitement and the overflow of intense feelings, for the first time I felt. Standing only a few meters away from her figure, I felt gasped, amazed and somehow satisfied, from being able to find her. Soulmate for which I can feel whole.

...***...

When I saw Dina on various occasions that were not intentional or planned in advance, such as passing by the door of the Menza building, or in the courtyard of the library building, in the WBP Secretariat room or wherever, this chest will definitely flinch, but a smile I definitely can't bear to crack without me noticing. It feels good to meet him.

For a moment, Dina would show an attitude of not knowing to do or say anything, it was clear that her doubts, which over time I noticed aga reduced the intensity, then then she would definitely smile too, too, maybe because I contracted my smile and gave greetings and PPM, as junior to senior, but with a chunk of familiarity that we could not help but feel.

Like this afternoon in the meeting room Wapa Manggala, which unfortunately I was forced to attend late because it was held back by the needs of a lecturer, who needed my help. The meeting had ended because only a few Praja people were left in the room and each of them was busy with his affairs, no one noticed my presence.

“Good afternoon Dina.” said I gave my greetings as I approached the back of her figure who was busy cleaning the table of leftovers and paper cups of drinks that might be served to the participants of the meeting.

Dina turned her body and as usual seemed hesitant to act for a moment and finally showed a little smile dimpled his cheek and said: “Good afternoon also Ka’ Pras..” then handed me a glass of coffee in a paper cup.

“To be thrown away?” my mummy: “Or for me to drink?”

Dina's smile seemed warm, as warm as the coffee on the lukewarm felt on my palm.

“As for Brother, although I have to warn Ka’ Pras, if the coffee is cold and honestly feels sour.” he replied.

“Dina tried it then?” manya tease him. Dina answered by showing her index and middle fingers forming the letter V, indicating she had drunk 2 glasses but with a forced attitude.

Then the awkwardness seemed to evaporate. vanished unnoticed.I felt the acceptance attitude of a friendly Dina back and as if everything could go smoothly.

...***...

In some nights when participating in routine activities (but not mandatory) at the Darul Ma’arif Jatinangor Mosque, such as joint recitation events every Sunday morning, Tuesday and Thursday night, which of course involves a number of Muslim Prajas, we are often unintentionally able to walk back to each other. Because both toward the guesthouse that is not too far away, then we often walk the same.

One night, we talked about my big and unique family.

Dina felt I was overconfident when I said that my whole family loved me very much and that I was in the eyes of my sisters a role model they were very proud of. And I said, jokingly, that my confidence is one of the best qualities of this self.

“According to who?” he asked while squinting, without hesitation showing his skepticism.

“Yes, Dina can ask my Mom!” I answered trying to downplay the made-up.

Dina suddenly laughed and because she realized that many other Praja were turning their faces towards us who were still on the street, she covered her mouth with both hands, trying to ease the tingling she felt.

Then because I was not satisfied to hear his laughter, I added again: “Aga surprising in hindsight, when some of my younger sisters felt. the opposite.”.

“Maybe they ever Ka’ Pras torment unknowingly?” asked Dina again with a curious face.

“I tortured them not because I was cruel or because I liked him.” said I tried to defend myself, “I have to do it because it needs to be done!”

“Need to whom?” ask Dina again.

“For the good of the whole world!” I answered lightly and quickly.

Then Dina turned her sweet face back at me with a skeptical look and said: “There is no way they are that bad.”

“You've never met them, so it's hard to describe them so clearly that you can understand what they really are. But it seems my mother also likes them, although it also does not confuse me.” I said again that makes Dina's laughter back on the air, her voice is very beautiful, subjective word indeed, which is, yet somehow it feels right to describe it. Dina's laughter seemed to come from inside her heart, feeling warm, full of sincerity, contagious and addictive.

Then suddenly his attitude came back serious when he said: “Ka’ Pras may be happy to torture the Ka’ Pras sisters, but I dare to risk all my savings, he said, if Ka’ Pras would be willing without thinking to sacrifice the life of Ka’ Pras for their happiness.”

I stopped this footstep, pretending to think for a long time as if considering the truth in the sentence, then replied: “Indeed how much are you saving?”

“Ka’ Pras avoids confirming my statement in a very embarrassing way.. hahaha..” back his laughter fills my need.

“Of course I will do anything to strive for their happiness Dina.. They are my sisters, mine to torture and protect. No one can make them feel suffering other than this self.” now my laughter is blaring, following the statement of disgrace and we also laugh again together.
