LOVE BLOWS FROM REUNION
Episode 7: MEETING OLD FRIENDS

    13:00 Jogja time. Rini raises HP, calls Anik, her best friend at High School.

    "Hello, Rin .... You're going to the reunion, right?!" ask Anik at HP.

    "Yes so, lah .... I've arrived at the hotel ...!" answer Rini.

    "Huh ..., where?" ask Anik.

    "Gue in the room. Do you have nyampe lon ...?" said Rini.

    "Well, Rin ..., what's in the room? I'm still in the lobby, here's a list of friends who came. Come on, you get down here, register first." said Anik.

    "Okay, I'm down." replied Rini. He also rushed down.

    Not long after, Rini arrived at the lobby. He looked to the left right. Looking for his High School friend named Anik. Understandably it has been more than thirty years not met, definitely pangling. His face and body had changed, so he did not know again. Is his friend small, or has become fat.

    "Hello, Nik .... Where is elo? Nich, I've arrived in the lobby." asked Rini over the phone, looking for her friend.

    "Hello, Rin .... I'm at the committee table. From the reception side, there is a hallway. That way, we will arrive at the meeting room. I was in front of the room. Later that night our activities in that room." said Anik from the phone.

    "Okay .., okay .... I'm going there." said Rini.

    Right, on the reception side there is a lobby hallway to a large room that is commonly used for meetings and wedding receptions. Rini went straight to the table in front of the hall. There were two women sitting on the chair behind the table. The short one was a bit fat, still looking fresh and sweet. The other one is not so fat, but also not slim. Her dress is like an office man. Must be the fat one Anik, so the guess of Rini. But if the other one, who looks prettier, Rini completely forgot. The two women were still chatting.

    Rini stopped in front of the table. With a smile he observed the two women, whom he was certain were his friends.

    "Rini ...?!" shouted the fat woman, who was none other than Anik.

    "Anik ...?!" sahut Rini's.

    "Haaaaaaa ...! Huaweu ...!" they were shouting.

    Anik immediately stood up, hit and hugged Rini. Likewise Rini, who hugged her friend tightly. The two of them hugged tightly as if they did not want to escape. The bodies of the two were shaken, so he wanted to lift each other up.

    The other woman also stood up from the chair, joined in hugging Rini from behind.

    "City ...!" shouted the woman who was a bit slim.

    Rini hugged back. But he forgot the name of the friend. Rini looked at the woman's face, trying to remember, the edge had not yet been remembered.

    "Definitely forgot the same me .." said the woman whose two hands still held Rini's hand.

    "Sepent .... I want-inget first ..." said Rini.

    "Who, try ...!" said Anik who added curiosity.

    "Yayuk, yes ...?!" guess Rini.

    "Yes ...! Right ...!" shouted the woman called Yayuk.

    "Biohh .... You've changed so much, Yuk ...?!" said Rini.

    "Maclum, Yayuk is now the CEO of a bank in Palembang. His appearance must be kept. The attraction for his customers." said Anik.

    "Ach ..., ngaco you, Nik!" sergeant Yayuk while hitting Anik's shoulder.

    "You are beautiful, Rin .... Still the same as beautiful at High School." praised Anik.

    "From the beginning Rini was beautiful, Nik .... Former princes, that's a loh ..." said Yayuk.

    "Ach .., ngaco you guys. How's it going?" rini asked her two friends.

    "Anyway, well ...!" said Anik.

    "I'm on assignment in Palembang, Rin. Two more years of retirement" Yayuk said.

    "Ah, good ..." said Rini.

    "What is my son ...?! Get you dong, Rin .... So the wife of a rich man, wants anything." Yayuk.

    "Ach, loh on ngaco. Eat lo, dong Yuk, can find your own money, the salary is big." said Rini.

    "It's not good just me. So PRT." timpal Anik.

    "Well, same with me dong, Nik!" sahut Rini's.

    "Different, Rin .... You're a rich PRT, I'm a lowly PRT employee ..." sergeant Anik.

    "Yes .., yes ... we are both women, servants of husbands." Yayuk mediates the debate.

    "Which other friends?" ask Rini.

    "There are some who are present. Only nine people signed up, went straight to the room. He said tired!" reply Anik.

    "Gue's on the list first, Nik" said Rini.

    Anik went straight back to the chair, looking at the participants' records. Then look for Rini's name in the list. So too Yayuk, sitting next to Rini.

    "How many people, Rin?" ask Anik.

    "One. I'm alone." answered Rini.

    "Well, she said the same husband ...?!" ask Anik again.

    "Yes, yesterday with my husband. But there was a sudden meeting. My husband just came home, it was ten." replied Rini.

    "Aow .., aow .., aow .... Important men. The end of the year should be meeting." ledek Yayuk.

    "Regard .... There are guests from Germany." said Rini.

    "You're often left behind, huh, Rin?" ask Anik.

    "Ordinary" answered Rini.

    "That means I'll be alone in the room?" ask Anik.

    "Gue's got a room, Nik. No need to register a room." said Rini.

    "Well, this is already a plot room" Anik said.

    "No papa .... I paid for it, the room made another room. In fact, later there will be girls who are alone, tell me to sleep in my room." explained Rini.

    "OK, Iah, then" said Anik.

    "How is the show going?" ask Rini.

    "Eh, yes .... This is the time schedule. Later that night at seven o'clock start the event, in this hall room." said Anik while giving a piece of paper rundown event.

    Rini skimmed through the event rundown. A two-day activity plan.

    "Wow .... Fun, there's a picnic. Where are we going?" ask Rini.

    "Round Jogja." replied Yayuk, "Mumpung we gather in Jogja." he continued.

    "Eh, you guys at lunch, balloon?" ask Rini.

    "I haven't ...!" sahut Yayuk's.

    "Yayuk, we're looking for food, nyok." take Rini to Yayuk.

    "How's an?" ask Yayuk.

    "I've eaten. Please eat first, later stomach pain lo." said Anik.

    "Come, we'll eat together." take Rini.

    "Come ..." replied Yayuk.

    "Daa ..., Anik!" said Rini leaving Anik while waving her hand.

    Rini and Yayuk leave Anik at the committee table. They both stepped out. Rini wants to invite Yayuk to find food outside the hotel. The two took a taxi parked in front of the hotel.

    Meanwhile, in front of the hall, Anik receives the arrival of his friends who will join the reunion. One, two people, three people, and keep coming, coming and coming. Some come alone, some come with their husbands or wives, some invite their families, some invite their grandchildren. The atmosphere in the reception room was very crowded. Tumultuous. Cuddle each other. Mutual reprimand. Tell each other stories. Ask for work, ask for husband or wife, ask for children, ask for grandchildren. Various talks, various chats. Mutual kangen. Although the event has not begun, but the hall room is already very crowded atmosphere.

    Anik, who was assisted by other friends, was busy arranging the division of rooms for the participants. Until before Maghrib, there were forty participants from class one during High School, who registered as participants of the reunion activity. Only four people were not present, it was his friend who was abroad. Yes, Brun is in the Netherlands, Albert lives in France, Leni lives in Canada, and Eva lives in Australia. They are all successful and successful in the land of people. Even though they did not leave, they have sent funds for reunion activities. Likewise, during the event later, they want there to be room meeting, whether using google meet or zoom meeting, or, to display virtually between friends who cannot attend with all participants present in the hall room. Yes, of course with the existence of this modern technology, it is very easy to meet virtually. Distance is not a barrier to direct communication.

    Some organizers have arranged hotel employees to arrange meeting rooms. A total of thirty round tables equipped with chairs with white cover cloth plus purple ribbon, neatly arranged. At the front was given a fairly large empty space, which was planned later for the kangen meeting. On the wall is plastered MMT background with a large inscription "REUNION KEKANCAN SELAWASE". On the right and left side, there is a large white screen, later used to rotate the LCD. Of course the show will be fun.

    Handoyo, the chairman of the reunion committee, is still at the front office, managing the financial administration. Yes, Handoyo is indeed the most sintered and most successful person in the High School class. He became a doctor. It's a specialist. He is now the head of a hospital in Mataram. In the organization there is no doubt. Since High School he has been an OSIS manager. So when he was appointed as the chairman of the reunion, he had carried out the organization well.

    Handoyo asked for financial deposits that had entered the committee. While dragging the HP screen, see the transfer funds that go into the committee account. From the front office employees of the hotel, conveying the deposit funds have entered fifty million. The provisional calculation for a two-night inn is thirty-five rooms, about seventy million. Handoyo saw income in the account, there was already fifty million funds. Thank God, that's enough. Hopefully there will be more revenue.

    Yes, hopefully this old friend meeting event can be a success, can be a good familiarity, can be a true friendship forever. Aamiin ....
