11. Caribbean from Java (3)
...11. Caribbean from Java (3)...
Kirei
The girl blinked her eyes a few times. Trying to dispel the reflection of light rays that enter glare into the net.
Muttering is not clear because it still feels stiff muscles.
His consciousness almost completely returned and how surprised he was when he pulled the blanket to see that his clothes had changed.
"Yes, cantank ...." Her speech.
His eyes rolled around the room. Right this is the room he occupied. But....
He gets up and leans towards the headboard. Shortly after that, the sound of knocking on the door was heard.
“Rei,” said Aldi who immediately approached and sat on the edge of the bed. “Sgratitude ... you are already aware.”
“Mas Aldi, I ..“ He was confused about where to ask, because he remembered he was snorkeling and then felt muscle cramps and after that....
“Hey, you fainted while snorkeling. Try if I don't know where you were at the time. Surely you have been to bring the waves,” he explained.
“Terus the gan-gantiin ba ...“
“I ...“
“Hah!” He was flabbergasted, his eyes perfectly rounded surprised instead of playing.
“Mas ... Mas who?” His face was as red as a ripe tomato now. Red because of anger mixed with shame but more dominating anger towards the man in front of him.
“Ha ha ha ... Rei ... Rei.” The tall man laughed, shaking his head so anxiously at the reaction he saw.
“It’s secret ..” Aldi's whisper with a grin slightly leaned towards him.
He covered his head entirely with a blanket. His breath was hunting in annoyance mixed with extreme embarrassment. How not his body has now been seen by an Aldiansyah who he nicknamed a strange and annoying creature. And it's proven that he's really very annoying.
Instead Aldi chuckled with crispy. What makes him angry is not playing.
“You're sober, Rei?” Ask Mas Budi who is already standing in the doorway.
He slowly removed the blanket that covered his head.
“Mas Budi, is it true that replaced my clothes Mas Aldi?” Ask.
“Ck, believe you Rei same playboy like him?” Decak Budi while putting a bowl of fish soup on the nightstand. Then he pulled the chair right next to his bed.
The girl grumbled, “Oh .. basic sucks!” His grunt.
Aldi chuckled and did not stop to not laugh at him.
“Quiet Rei. We ask for help from hotel employees who are girls to change your clothes.” Clearly Budi.
“But by the way, how can I pass out anyway?” Continue to ask.
“Em .. That I don't know either, Mas. At that time I did not realize so excited it turned out to be far into the middle. Frantically trying to swim to the edge. But, precisely the same leg cramp hand difficult to move and pain,” he explained.
“That's your evidence that's wrong. Should have done the warm-up. Keep on not panicking. This swim can not want to wear support all the way!” Chirps Aldi.
The girl is getting frowning, “Gak denger earlier, Mas. I said, didn't realize so busy tau!” he nodded with a slumber.
Aldi stretched out his hand and ruffled his head.
WHATS! The pecker is in the heart.
He brushed off the man's hand, “Don't fuck!” threaten her.
The two men who were in his room chuckled together, “Rei ... Rei."

“Feed the fish soup first, Rei!” He gave a bowl of soup that he brought earlier, “mumpung still warm,” he added.
“Or want me a bribe," bargained Aldi with a slanted smile.
“I still have hands,” Kirei said quickly and ketus.
“Well, it seems we can not go home tomorrow morning,” Aldi said.
“Why?” The girl was on the sidelines chewing her food.
“Info BMKG bad weather two days ahead. It's raining tonight. When you fainted it was the condition of the sea was high. That's why you don't realize you can take it to the middle?” Unmistakably.
Kirei nodded.
Suddenly Aldi's phone rang loudly, “I came out first,” he said as he got up and passed out of the room.
The girl placed the finished soup bowl on the nightstand.
“You drink, Rei?” she pulled out a glass of water to him.
Without answering Kirei had already gulped it down, “Makasih, Mas.” The reply.
“Aldi is the one who worries about you the most. He's the one who panicked the most to see you pass out, Rei." He said with a look at the door of the room that was still open. Sayup-sayup Aldi's voice who was calling was heard even though it was unclear what to talk about.
“Because he feels guilty, Mas. Been meaning to snorkel,” kilah the girl.
“Not ...” Rebuttals.
Sontak Kirei turned towards him. “It looks like he's putting his heart on you."
“Hah!” The girl gasped.
“You can feel it too, right? Even though he already has a potential fiancee. But who knows? (But who knows?)”
“He's my boss, Mas. So naturally he was attentive and panicked to see his subordinates faint,” the girl kept on caving. Refuse all his prejudices.
“We’ll see."

Heavy rain with strong winds. Latest info sea tide up to four meters. All ships are advised not to cruise while waiting for conditions to improve.
The three sat at the inn restaurant while eating their breakfast.
“You're better, Rei?” Ask him.
“Alhamdulillah, Mas.” He answered while putting his spoon and fork on the plate. The breakfast sign is done.
Outside the rain is still pouring. The sky was covered in dark clouds and occasional lightning struck and accompanied by thunderous roars.
“Where is the latest info, Al?” Ask Aldi who is sipping coffee.
“Two rainstorms today. But hopefully tomorrow the weather is friendly" said Aldi.
The tall man reached into a pack of cigarettes in his pants pocket, then picked up a stick and lit it.
Just a few times he exhaled smoke into the air, He who sat in front of him suddenly covered his nose. He coughed and made his whole face red.
“You, it's okay?” Ask Aldi to panic. But it's getting more uncontrollable. Lekas Aldi turned off his cigarette on the ashtray available there.
“Rei ...” Budi who was sitting next to him tried to pat his back.
“Drink!” yelling Aldi thrust a glass of water at him. And he took it a few times.
“Sorry, can't you get smoke?” Aldi felt guilty. Until the cough subsided a little the girl had not yet voiced out.
“What need to call a doctor?” Tawar Aldi was worried about him.
He shook.
“You sure, it's okay, Rei?” Budi chimed in with a look that was also anxious.
He nodded, “Udah improve,” he said slowly.
The two men were seen breathing.
“I can at least get smoke, Mas. Dust too. When I was a kid I had bronchitis. It has healed anyway, but often relapses if there is a trigger,” he explained.
“Okay .. if gini I know. You can't smoke in front of you. So sorry!” tukas Aldi felt guilty.
Whats? Aldi apologized? A shitty person can apologize too turns out. Kirei said in his heart.
Rain continues to pour over the island of Karimun Jawa until noon. He decided to rest in his room. Checking some of his social media and then replying to some of the messages that came in on his phone.
He also downloaded some photos to post on his social media page. Photos at sunset, when the children swim and last while snorkeling yesterday.
Do not wait long many incoming comments that just respond or like the post.
[Wow .. perfect sunset]
[Perfect angle. Like it's.].
[REAL! The road also goes to Karimun. Bye the way when you get home. Miss you..] comments from her best friend Anisa in the news.
[By-by yes, Rei ..as tributes] from Oka's fellow division.
And there are many more comments that make him smile himself, until the post got hundreds of likes in fifteen minutes only.
Ting.
The notification appears again. He opened his ig.
“HAH!” sergatannya spontaneous.
[Even fainting, but I like it! Accompanied by an emoticon, a wicked laugh shuts his mouth and the emoticon runs away] from Aldi.
In the afternoon the weather improved slightly, although the rain had subsided but the tide of sea water was still relatively high. He decided to take a walk on the beach near the inn.
Without using footwear, sebetis pants and casual t-shirts with images of underwater biota inscribed with the island of Karimun Jawa which he bought at the time of coverage yesterday.
The fine and clean white sand seemed to tickle on the soles of his feet. The sea breeze brushed off the hair of his shoulder that he left free.
Then the girl sat with her legs bent on the dry sand of the beach, looking far out at the endless sea. It even seemed to merge with the sky as a barrier.
How amazing!
“Java Carimun is nicknamed Caribbean van Java because of the beauty of the sea and its beaches are similar to the Caribbean. The nickname is because Karimun Jawa has in common consists of several small islands one of which is the island of Cilik.”
Momentary pause.
Aldi came to him and sat next to him straightening his legs and his hands supported his body leaning back.
“Cilik Island consists of 27 islands that make up the Karimun island cluster of Java. The underwater view is clear and still natural. All presented are not inferior to Bali, Lombok or anywhere else. If you've been there. Unfortunately, it is not as famous as the places I mentioned. But honestly, I love Karimun Jawa more than others,” said the man.
He sighed softly.
“But unfortunately I have never been to Lombok either. Just reached Bali," he said plainly with a small laugh.
