Happy reading...
After the rain stops, the weather will feel very cool. The breeze that blows as if forcing the leaves to drop the remaining rainwater. Slowly, the sun began to dare to appear again, inviting creatures on earth to enjoy the day.
"Good day, good afternoon! Woe, o-o bad luck!"
The sound of the parrot greeted Riky's arrival on the back porch. Salim smiled with satisfaction knowing that his beloved bird was getting smarter.
Paijo. It has been one year that the bird accompanied the daily life of Salim and of course became a pleasant friend for the middle-aged man.
"Jo, have you had breakfast yet?" riky asked casually while sitting down.
"Coffee-nuts..."
"Who's coffee? You or Papa?"
"You. Ugly comes, ugly comes..."
Riky turned towards the door and smiled at Alena who came with her ordered sandwich.
"Paijo ugly, Paijo ugly..." Alena scoffed back.
"Seek dong, Paijo asks..."
"Want? Wlee.." -..." Alena clenched her tongue, it was common for her and the bird to mock each other.
"Devil, stingy..."
"Jo, my wife is beautiful. You're not saying anything."
"Some are coming, some are coming..." Legally. The bird seemed to feel agitated, it perched from one part to another very quickly.
"It's Ajeng, Jo. Riky's cousin who just arrived yesterday." Papa Salim introduces Ajeng to Paijo, but the bird does not reply.
"Om it's just there. The time of the bird is introduced the same. If you want to recognize it as a rich handsome guy. New Ajeng want," said Ajeng flat.
"Still small, don't think of guys. College was right" said Riky.
"It certainly can't. Alena's still in college, but she's married." Delicateness.
"Don't call dong, Jeng. She's your sister's wife. She's also older" said Mama, who came in with a bowl of fruit salad. Mama Widiya thrust the bowl at Alena, but quickly Ajeng pulled it.
"To Ajeng yes, Tan. Hmm, good." His word.
"It's not polite, Jeng. For two yes." Mama Widiya felt bad for Alena.
"It's okay, Ma. Alena's been drinking milk."
"Dear, a..." Riky fed the bread she had bitten. Alena bit and smiled at her husband who gave her a seductive look.
"Sister Riky, take it to campus. Please," pinta Ajeng who put on a pretentious face.
"Cannot. If you want to take Riky's sister, ask Lena for permission." Flat language.
"Geez, bossy." The bells glared at Alena.
"Are you in college today? Not starting ospek next week," asked Riky.
"Ajeng just wants to look around, brother. Want to know how the campus environment is."
"Then go together. Brother also wants to take Alena to campus," said Riky.
"Okay, what time is it?" sahut Ajeng lazy.
"What time, honey?" riky asked Alena.
"An hour away," said Alena flatly.
Papa Salim who had noticed them just smiled faintly. He and Widiya also understand how Alena is
After finishing the sandwich, Alena prepared to go to campus. Not only on Riky's parents, he even said goodbye to Paijo.
"Bye, ugly Paijo!" He said as he passed, but in the doorway his steps came to a halt. Alena turned her head with an astonished look at the bird that jumped to and fro as if it did not want to remain silent.
"Tumben nyaut," muttered Alena astonished and continued her steps.
***
Being in the campus area makes Riky miss his college days. A glimpse of the shadow of the woman who had once stopped in his heart flashed just like that. Quickly he brushed off the shadow. The man did not want if later such a small thing would disturb his feelings.
Right now Riky is waiting for Alena who is in class. He accompanied Ajeng around looking around the campus area.
"So, how could Riky like Alena?" ask ajeng slowly. Without a doubt he wrestled spoiled on Riky's arm.
"You should have asked that to Alena." Legally.
"meaning?"
"Definitely want to, Riky's sister is handsome. Rich again," said Ajeng.
"That's what you said. Do not know, among my brother's friends, Riky's sister is the most cool. So grateful for the time Alena wants to be invited to marry," said Riky low.
"What time?"
"Hmm," nodded Riky.
"That's the canteen, brother. Go yuk!" Bring along.
"You are yes. Brother wait here," said Riky. He was sitting in a garden chair not far from the canteen.
"okay."
Riky smiled her smile at Ajeng's behavior. The attitude of the girl is not much different from the attitude of Alena at her age.
Meanwhile in the cafeteria, Ajeng intends to buy juice and soda for Riky. The woman passed by some students who were joking.
While waiting for an order at the kiosk of one of the sellers, Ajeng did not seem to like there was a student before him.
"Mang, the change is a splinter." Her request.
"Nindy, you don't have any classes?" ask one of the students.
"There's dong" said Nindy.
"Loe truant ya. Ask Alena dong if you want to skip! Pak Waketu kangen said, "towered the man while pointing at one of his friends.
"Sir Waketu, Agam? Since when did Agam like Alena?" Mumbled wonder.
"Neng, here's the change."
Nindy turned her head and smiled while apologizing.
"Well, I'm in first." Pamphitt.
"Nin, here dong for a moment," said Agam pulled slowly Nindy's arm.
"You want what the hell? I have class, I'm in a hurry."
"Attent. Ask for Alena dong's number" he said.
"Not knowing? He is also a member of the BEM (Student Executive Board)." His word.
"There it is, look. But why do I chat rarely dibalesnya. Once upon a time it was stale. Is there another number?"
"Nothing. I also know that number. Ah, I want to go in. Hye!"
Agam looked at Nindy's back with a disappointed look.
"Patience, Bro. Try to find another way. Isn't Fany an Accounting kid? Just ask him, they must have a class group," Kamil suggested.
"Where is alena? Which Accounting kid is it? Isn't she married?" ask another friend.
"No idea, Agam. I'll tell you too, just ngeyel."
"Loe wants to tell you what he is, Gam? I'm waiting for your bath, is that it? Crazy loe yes, no virgin ting-ting?" Clumsily.
Agam just grinned hearing his friends making fun of him and laughing at him. They didn't realize that someone was listening to the conversation.
"Eh the Eneng, even daydreaming. Here's the juice, and here's the drink," the seller scolded.
"Oh yes. Thank you, sir."
Ajeng passed by leaving the canteen. The laughter of the students was still heard even outside.
"I don't think you're straying" joked Riky.
"It's stray, brother? It was visible," said Ajeng while giving Riky a drink.
"Old kok?"
"Ngantri," lies Ajeng.
"Oh," said Riky briefly as he sipped his drink.
"So, Alena's majoring what the hell?"
"You didn't hear what Mama said. Don't just call names. Call Kak Lena," said Riky.
"Yes, I mean Ajeng. What majors is Alena?"
"Accounting. Why, interest too?"
"Accounting, oh..." Slowly, then he grinned.
