My boyfriend's a Vampire
Episode 92: The First Day at the Kos House
Not feeling graduated already, Maya began to contract her home for 3 years and began her new life in Jogja as a general medical student. That morning, Ryan picked her up with the driver. The guy looked very handsome in a black t shirt and dark blue jeans. Maya also looks beautiful in twin clothes. The atmosphere of the airport is quite crowded, they walk while pushing their luggage and entering the boarding area. A trip that will take them to another city in a matter of 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Arriving there, the girl rented a boarding room near the campus, and canceled the original plan of contracting the house on the grounds of cost. He does not want to burden Ryan, his husband, and determined to be independent with his part-time efforts to open an English online course. The boarding house he occupied had fifty rooms located on the first and second floors. The girl occupies . A boarding house with an ancient building painted white with dark brown sills. Although there are still many modern buildings around it, Maya chose it because the boarding house next to it is full while the rental price of apartments near the campus is much more expensive.
“Tok..Tok..Tok.
Two teenagers knock on the door, Maya puts her suitcase on the floor, just to the left of her body that is standing facing the door.
“Kreek..”.
The sound of the door opening, a young art with hair tied together and wrapped in a flower negligee opened the door and smiled.
“Good day,Neng. Have you booked before?”
“Already,Mbak. I Maya who had a phone call the other day with the mother of the owner of kos.”
“Please enter. I call him shortly. Ms. Laksmi rarely comes out of the room because.”
Maya and Ryan took a sitting position facing the exit. The living room was quite spacious with carved teak chairs with a garuda head motif on each head of the chair, a carved white teak table and an ancient console table with an umbrella.
Maya observes an elderly woman about 65 years old, sweet-looking with a face that has been filled with fine lines of wrinkles all over her face, her slightly fat body wrapped in long, batik-patterned negligee, while his gray hair was tied up to form a spiky konde. Her appearance was very simple, much different from the city women who were very self-care.
“Include me Mother Laksmi, the owner of the cost here. I just stay alone with my maid.Mbak Atin and my gardener, Pak Darto.”
“Where are husband and mother's children?Sorry to ask,” wondered the girl while sliding her seat closer to the table.
“Suami and my son have died a long time ago. Precisely forty years ago, a car accident that was hit by a truck that was on the highway,”hut while wiping tears with the back of his hand.
“Oh...Sorry, has made mother grieve.”
“Nothing,Son. Therefore I decided to make a boarding house so that mothers are not lonely.”
“Around here are many food stalls,Bu?”ryan asks who seems worried about Maya's situation at the next boarding house.
“Many,Nak. On the right there is also a food stall owned by the mother managed by the employees. Open 24 hours instead.”
“Oh. You can relax here.”
Maya smiles, and now she understands why Ms. Laksmi has to sit in a wheelchair forever. His right leg had to be amputated because his entire leg was crushed, and now he has to use a prosthetic leg and sit in a wheelchair. His advanced age did not allow him to constantly stand and walk using crutches that confiscated all his strength.
“If you need to contact Ms. Atin who will help you clean the room and bathroom inside. About iron washing please laundry at home next door.”
“Laundry next door belongs to mom too?”
The old woman nodded and shifted her seat wheel, re-entering her room. Ma'am Atin helped carry the suitcase up to the second floor.
“May..I'll wait here first ya!”
The girl nodded and followed the art to the second floor. There was a staircase that branched in two, leading to a row of rooms to the left and right, just as large.
A room measuring 3x4 meters with a bathroom in it, and a large window facing the village area.
“Mbak..It's not noisy in the morning?”
“Now,Neng. Most if there is a celebration,”sahut the art while installing sheets.
The girl stuffed her clothes into a cupboard that had previously been stocked with fragrant kamfer. Within minutes, the room looked clean and fresh.
“There are already residents too?”
“Already,Neng. Oh yes.I'm sorry, would like to do another job.”
The girl locked the door and went down the stairs. Ryan was still sitting in the living room with a small suitcase by his side.
“Yuk,May anterin I find a hotel here?”
“How long have you been here?”
“Until you enter college, May. Make help-help searchin equipment OSEK.”
“Can be a week more you know..What is not a homestay rental?”
“Hotel more convenient,May. Nothing.Toh for you this.”
Finally Ryan managed to get a five-star hotel not too far from the girl's boarding place, which can be rented on a weekly basis. The type of room he chose was quite large with a bedroom, bathroom and a living room to watch television in it. The room was on the first floor, behind the receptionist room, the large window facing the pool. So that from the room, Ryan can enjoy the people who pass by there. Glass is one way so it will not be seen if outsiders want to look into the hotel room.
“Actually if we've had a wedding. This is going to be our honeymoon, May.”
The girl just bowed in embarrassment and laughed showing the dimples that adorned her two white cheeks.
“One more year. Be patient! Oh yes...later we eat at the hotel or streets in Malioboro?”
“Oh Yes,May. I ate a lot of food there. Let's go out while wriggling as to whether it's the palace of Jogjakarta.”
They eat at a food stall that is very crowded with visitors. There are two places of choice, sitting in a chair or with a lesehan. The two teenagers chose to eat lesehan on a bamboo woven mat arranged lengthwise. While waiting for the order to arrive, a street painter offered his services to paint faces.
“You Want me to Paint,Neng?”
“How much does it cost,Mas?”
“One hundred thousand.”
“Capacity. How about fifty thousand?”
“That I love seventy-five thousand only. Ud cheap.”
“Good,Bang.”
Eventually the painter sketched with his pencil, the girl enjoyed the dish, and remained the target of the painting. Suddenly a message from whatssup reads, Maya opens her phone.
“From who,May?”ryan asked as he sipped a drink from the glass with his straw.
“From Ardi, online course student,”sahut Maya while cutting fried chicken breast with her fork and spoon.
“Oh..Then what does he say?”
“She's in this place too. Want a direct acquaintance,”sahut Maya while laughing.
Soon they finished dinner and came out of the food stall. Suddenly a voice greeted Maya from a distance.
“Hai...You Mayan?”
“Iya..You Ardi?”
“True..Recognize yes..This is my husband, Ryan.”
“Salam knows ya! I'm Ardi, a boarding boy around here.”
“Oh..Pantes gercep,”sahut Ryan while chuckling.
The two men shook hands with each other. There is a little anxiety in Ryan's heart in a week to leave Maya, while in this city there are other guys who are quite handsome and of course will be closer to Maya.
