“Poor Aldi, Rei ..”


“The body is getting unkempt,”


“While he was detained at the rutan Polrestabes.” Tukas Anisa over the phone one week ago.


That means being the authority of Danang her husband. He had not asked Danang directly about it. Because of his busyness and the busyness of the man of course.


“Please him, Rei.” This is Anisa's last message.


Before his departure for the roadshow he called Nana to the production room.


“Nih,” Nana thrusts some news sheets about her. The photo of him hugging the man from the front corner to the look of his face and only the back of the man. Then the photo enters the elevator while holding hands. With a news headline column that makes it buzz.


‘Host talk show program seen kissing friendly in apartment lobby in Slipi-Jakarta Pusat’ area


‘Presenter initialed KF who was rising leaves dipped in romance with a man in public place’


‘Talkshow host caught on camera being with a man, suspected to be the mistress of’


And some news columns that made his chest rumble. He closed his eyes for a moment. Sighs.


He did not expect it to be a source of news. Actually not too surprised. But Nana's words that made her fall apart.


“Lo play this news. At least can raise the rating lo.”


“Despite true or not.”


“Lo can use for lo popularity as well as lo.” program


He looked at Nana flat expressionlessly. Even though his heart was half dead. I am not looking for popularity! His anger in the heart.


“Originally you know, he's my husband. Not like what's in the junk news and mind lo!” anyway.  He pulled Nana's hand and returned the cheap news sheet to the woman who served as the Production Assistant.


“Excuse me,” said she rushed to leave Nana's room.


It was not long before he met Anton in the producer's office.


“It just so happens that you came here, Rei. There's something I want to talk about.” He who had just entered the room Mas Anton was sitting in the front seat of the 2-child desk.


“I know,”


Anton stared.


“Soal news .. about me.” Guess it.


“Sorry, Mass. So uncomfortable. That's .. not really. She ... I guarantee all just cheap gossip.” The drill.


“Ya, I know.” Anton Sahut.


“But it would be nice for you to make clarifications. Through media. Let's not be blunder.”


“News improper (not true) must be fought with the right news according to the facts. If you keep quiet, they are happy and will increasingly become a wild hot ball of public consumption. And in the end the public will be led to jugde you.”


“Our program has been running for a month is quite good. More than what I was targeting. Do not let everything be in vain. The Kirei I know doesn't want to be famous but always professional. Thank you for your hard work, Rei,” Anton.


At least the producer had the same thoughts as him.


“Thank you, Mas.”


He returned to his room intending to study the script that will air tomorrow.


Anisa: Aldi got snapped by group I drug users. Maximum 4 years imprisonment. If you can rehabilitate. He's just Rei's victim.


Anisa's message made her exhale heavily.


Anisa: When are you going to Semarang? I want to meet.


Anisa never made a statement that the girl was interested or liked Aldi. But he could read the book. Especially when Anisa devoted her attention to Aldi. As it is now. The girl was so considerate and worried about Aldi.


Kirei: Next week.


The reply. He thought he could meet Anisa for a moment and also visit Aldi during the roadshow to Jogja.

Danang


“Lawyer Aldiansyah wants to meet with Mr.” Rendra.


It cringes. Strange, it should be enough to meet with investigators.


“I've advised to see the investigator who handled it. But according to the lawyer, this is out of context. Not discussing Aldi.” case


It's getting cringing.


“How, Sir?” Rendra asked to confirm his superior. Because there is no answer.


“What other suspect lawyers also want to meet?” Ask.


Rendra shakes her head, “Only Aldi.” lawyers


“Alright, one more hour tell meet me.”


Rendra resigned after getting an answer from her superior.

Kirei


This morning she confirmed the whereabouts of her husband. Because I want to give you a surprise. He has been in Jogja for 3 days. The roadshow has just ended.


“Still, Rei. You are one of the proud alumni. Hopefully it can be imitated by your level brothers,” said Dean Fisipol. Where he had been educated for 4 years.


“I should say thank you very much, Mr.” Reply sungkan. “thanks to the upbringing of the Father and the lecturers here I can like this.” Yes, Prof. Wawan used to be his guidance lecturer during the thesis. He now serves as Dean.


The show that day was very good. Located at the Fisipol Convention Hall. A fragment of scattered memories flashed into a single story.


Although his class friends have been tidying up somewhere. But there are some who are still loyal. Serving as part of the educator on campus.


“Eh, instead daydream!” Sergey Jidan. His classmates were close to him.


“Sori .. sori, I missed the past. So keinget.” Legally. They sat in one of the empty seats at Fisipoint. In front of him was already avocado juice that had just been delivered by the waiter.


“From 31 children Komed (Media Communication and Journalism), who became a journalist like you only 5 people. You, Sita, Juan, Fredy are the same Basar. But the Basar again in Amrik. Contracted CNN,”


“Another one in LN took S2 same S3. There are also those who work in the embassy. So bureaucrat.”


“Tompel with Gogo work in broadcasting so copy writer equally advertising. Anyway, do you remember Ganjar? Now he works as a PR in a Japanese automotive company. Uh ... He used to ask you, Rei. It's been a long time, I love you. Your contact number cannot be contacted. You also say from civilization. Tau-tau appeared on Tv.”


He smiled thinly. Ganjar son of Komstra (Strategic Communication) and former chairman of KOMAKO (Communications Student Corps) was indeed ever approached, ever expressed his feelings. But somehow suddenly retreated slowly away from him. Before he gave an answer. Pun, other boy friends where dare more on him. Because Ken always stands behind her and always claims to be her boyfriend.


“I'm the same Fika who came back here.” Jidan.


“You have no plans to continue S2, Rei?” Ask Jidan later. As he turned over the post-graduate program brochure that Jidan brought.


“For now,” Imbuh Jidan who saw it may be interested in the brochure.


“Back time,” he said, “fear instead—”


“Don’t worry, you can take employee classes. Aman ... later I help you,”


He smiled, then thinned his lips. “Ya deh .. mentang-about secretary of Department Ilkom.” Her lips.


They were laughing together.


I want to spend the whole day on campus full of memories. Combing places that are so deep incised the story during his struggle to get a college degree. Sansiro, Salbar, Fisipmart, Digilib Cafe, The Lounge owned by HI children who make sleeping when they sit there, so comfortable. Even the Fisipoint he was now attending.


But he had to go that afternoon. Bidding farewell to Jidan and Fika who just came from Diklat. They say goodbye to each other. I don't know when I'll see you again.


The trip to Semarang takes approximately 2 hours and a half. He chose to sleep for a moment. Hope to arrive in Semarang can directly meet the man who missed him.


Luckily the end of the roadshow in Jogja finished Thursday. And Friday afternoon he can immediately dart to Semarang.


“Mas, I'm permission to go home to Semarang.” He told Mas Anton last night by phone.


“Morning Monday I returned to Jakarta,”.


And the producer agreed, “Salam for TVS kids when you meet,” message Anton.


Anton who initially did not know about his marriage with Danang, a little unexpected and incredulous. That she became the wife of a Danang Barata Jaya. Anton was also close to the man. In fact, he was helped by Mas Anton to clarify the cheap news about him and Danang in one of Emtek's media.


He can smile now.


The online taxi he was riding had passed the BRT Kariadi stop, that means ....


He published a smile. The goal is not the house. Except her husband's office. Because the time is still at 15:00 WIB. The man is in the office right now.


Also, he confirmed it with Rendra.


Rendra: Mas Danang is still in the office. Maybe a new afternoon in the field.


Rendra answered by message 30 minutes ago. His smile was perfect.


The car entered the Mapolrestabes gate after checking the metal detector. The uniformed guards in full three people were respectful to him. He looked down for a moment as a sign of reply.


Her mind was relieved when she saw her husband's service car parked in place.


As soon as he got out of the car and brought a tote bag he greeted Rendra who happened to be outside looking at him.


“Mbak ...” Sapa Rendra's.


“Eh .. there is Mr. Rendra.” Legally. He stepped foot into Danang's room.


“Mas Danang ..” Rendra seemed to wet her lips a few times.


“Mas Danang is there, right?” Rhetorical questions that he asked. But he already knows the answer, right?


“Do not know. I want to surprise.” The connection that Rendra keeps following.


“Mas Danang .. em ...”


He grabbed the handle and pushed the brown wooden door without knocking before. With a smile that has been decorating since getting off the car .


Once logged in, “Mas ...” He immediately fell silent. His lips clenched at once, seeing the man receiving a woman's guest. Sit close to the sofa. And seemed to laugh happily.


They simultaneously looked up to him, “Eh, kok ngabari.” He got off the sofa and approached her.


He's still flinching.


The purpose of coming here is to surprise the man. But why did it seem that he was actually surprised by the scene he had just seen.
