Like a Former Nail
Episodes 12.2
Rion refocused his gaze towards Gebri, the woman still looking at him with an annoyed look, glaring at him sharply.
“Bray me to your house.”
“Hah?” Gebri's eyes are wide open. Goggled. Meanin?
“I've proposed to you.”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HUH?” gebri shouted with bulging eyes. Anger is really encircling him right now. “AS I SAID, I DO NOT WANT TO MARRY YOU,” is still in the same tone, Gebri again exclaimed loudly.
“Tapi—”
“AKU WILL GO HOME NOW.”
Gebri quickly got up from his seat, walking hurriedly towards the door before a hand held his wrist again, forcing his footsteps to stop and Rion immediately turned Gebri's body to face him.
“But you promised to accept me, as long as I left all the luxuries of my parents, and I did. I'm moving out of this house. I have also returned all the facilities and items given by my parents,” explained Rion at length while staring inside.
Gebri throws Rion's arm. The grip of the man who was putting on a serious face was immediately released.
“NO. WE CAN'T MARRY,” Gebri loudly before he was about to move his legs again, but Rion again held his wrist, staring not to move.
“Why? I've fulfilled your wish.”
“No. Anyway we can not get married,” said Gebri by pushing Rion's body, trying to release his grip, until the body of the man collided with several piles of cardboard behind him.
BRACKET! Cardboard used cigarettes storehouse salt that is at the top immediately fell. The items in it were immediately scattered, revealing some special clothing strands of pregnant women with various shapes and motifs, as well as the contents of two small black boxes that are also open and the contents are scattered on the floor.
“What is it?” gebri asked as he approached, so curious, the items that were now lying on the floor were so eye-catching, especially the black and white photo sheets that had once been something to be happy for him.
“Not, not nothing.”
Rion quickly backs up the objects his hands could reach and puts them back into the cardboard.
“This is USG photo, right?” gebri asked by lifting a piece of the photo that was still lying on the floor.
Rion did not answer, his body was trembling.
“This is yours?”
Rion was silent.
“Why?” gebri asked with suddenly sparkling eyes, glazed, and then turned into melts when the memory of the meeting in the early week of his college entrance turned, showing some scenes of Rion in delusion, which was in delusion, imagining that she was pregnant, not meant to mock as she had been expecting all along.
Gebri can no longer hold it, now the clear-clear is increasingly wetting both cheeks. It turned out that all this time not only he was suffering, the man was also. It was only fitting that Rion seemed eager to approach him, disregarding the views of the people and constantly questioning about Gebian. Even now the man's eyes are also glazed, maybe his tears are ready to spill at any time.
“I beg you, marry me. I want to account for all my actions five years ago, or I'll be completely insane because of this regret.” The clearness finally spilled, followed by the sound of small sobs coming out of Rion's mouth. “Me-married to me, I-I must have delighted you d-and will never leave you the way you used to,” she said again with tears streaming down her cheeks and a slightly stammering voice.
Gebri fingers spontaneously wiped the streams. He didn't know what to say, or how to react. Only her tears are getting bigger.
Nearly thirty minutes of Gebri and Rion spent crying together. Shedding the burdens piled up in their hearts and minds. While Bik Sumi who was about to deliver drinks was forced to return to the kitchen, decided to do other household routines rather than interfere with the full activities of the living room. Gradually the sobbing sound of crying began to subside when the typical ringtone of the Line application from inside the black backpack was heard. Gebri forgot to set into vibrate mode.
At first he wanted to ignore. The most chat from the group. But the beautiful and unique voice of Halsey echoed, signifying an incoming call. Gebri hastily picked up his cell phone which once swept away the traces of tears that were still flowing. Missed calls. From Galang. Once again ringtone with the sound of the bell was reverberated and immediately displayed the chat box. Gebri's eyes suddenly widened when the series of words had been digested in his brain.
“I want to go home.”
Gebri's hand that wants to open the door back in Rion's hand.
“What's up?”
“Galang and Bundaku are already in front of the kosan. I have to go home now,” his body while capturing Rion's facial expression demanding an explanation.

The journey from Bale Hinggil to the only boarding at RW 31 only takes about fifteen minutes. Rasti and Galang seemed to be having a small conversation when the super white Toyota Yaris car entered the front page of the boarding house Wisma Bestari. When Rion got down from the car, was about to follow Gebri who approached the figure of Rasti, his eyes immediately caught the muscles of Galang's hardened jaw, his eyes glared sharply but still did not undo the intention of Rion who was following Gebri.
“Mother and Galang have long arrived here? Why didn't you tell me before you got here? What are you guys wearing here?” gebri asked in succession while taking Rasti's hand and regretting it.
“How are you, Tan?” said Rion who followed the Gebri movement, joined the hands of the middle-aged woman with glasses.
“Thank God, Aunt is fine,” reply Rasti by showing off a friendly smile.
“Why can you be with my Ma'am?” yang Galang ketus's.
“Lang, don't talk like that. He's older than you,” Rasti scolds.
“We don't have to be okay with him, Bun. He deserved it.”
“Lang, you—”
Not wanting to see a small debate between the child and the mother, Rion quickly replied. “It's okay, Tan. Attitude is natural. He must have loved Gebri.” very much
“Ck,” decak Galang dislikes, his eyes increasingly glared towards Rion.
“Yuk Bun, we go inside!”
Gebri picked up the tote bag on the chair, then took it in.
“Bun, Ma'am, I'm leaving for the station now, huh?! I have messan gojek and soon may come,” said Galang while taking Rasti's hand, regretting it and also doing the same to Gebri.
“You didn't stay here, Lang?”
Galang shook his head. “Ngak, Ma'am. Tomorrow I go to school.”
“What's up? Train?”
Galang's head nodded small.
“Where is your bike going, Lang?”
“I delivered it to the service. Yesterday broke down.”
“Geb, how about I drive Galang to Solo?” said Rion who is ready to get a sharp shot from Galang.
“No. I don't want to,” reject Galang half yelling.
“How's Bun?” gebri whispers into Rasti's ears, but they can still be heard.
“What's not bothering you?” rasti asked hesitantly, in fact he felt uneasy with Rion, considering their last meeting which was arguably not good. But he also felt he could not bear to let Galang go alone, even though he was not a child anymore. Rasti is still a mother who is always worried when her eyes can not catch the form of her children.
Rion shook his head before smiling. “No hassle really, Tan.”
“Sorry yes already troublesome you.”
Rasti was still feeling bad, there was a little bit of worry also that disturbed his mind, afraid that Galang would react like that afternoon, brutally beating Rion until the corner of the man's lips was torn and the marks are still visible now.
Rion returned a smile, so friendly, hoping that this was the first step to be close to their small family.
