Not the First
EP. 11 Calling

Not even ten minutes the car that was driven by Rey drove and they were still crossing the Rawamangun area, Rey's phone that he had pinned in front of the dashboard rang. From the screen, a call from Mr. Gun.

Deftly, Rey put the earphones in her ear and answered the call.

"Hallo, Sir. Assalamualaikum,"

"Waalaikum, Rey," replied Gun from across the street.

"Sorry sir, I didn't hear a phone call from you. Again in the bathroom," Rey gave a reason why calling from her lecturer as many as 6 times was ignored.

"Yes, Rey. What the hell is it. I'm afraid you didn't have my name on the contact list. It could be because the call is not known so you don't pick up,"

"Oh, it's not so sir. I've saved, so you know you contact me, I call back but the tone is busy,"

"Sorry, Sir. There was something to say, "Rey immediately switched the conversation to his goal because it was too time-consuming if he had to serve the lecturer's pleasantries. Rey knows, the lecturer likes to chat especially for things that are less important. He proved it this afternoon.

"To the point very. You busy, Rey?" ask the man in a serious tone.

Rey turned her gaze to the rearview mirror and saw the expression of her husband. Wibie seriously followed their conversation. Her lips revealed a smile that was difficult to understand.

"Hallo, Rey," call Mr. Gun again. Maybe he wants to make sure that their connection remains connected because for a long time there is no confirmation from Rey.

"Yes, sir. I'm on the road again. There was just a motorcycle that overtakes," he was forced to lie. After that Rey smiled amusedly, she saw from the rearview of her husband just bobbing his head to see his behavior.

"Oh, where are you going beautiful. How come the malems are still on the road?"

"Children ask to walk, sir. Want to see Monas at night,"

"Well, besides being beautiful you are also a good mother. Truly a dream wife like this,"

Rey almost choked on hearing this lecturer's answer. How could he talk to a student like that, a married woman again.

"Luckily.luckily, I wear earphones so the voice from across is not heard by children," Rey can sigh a little while thinking about what to answer.

"Rey!" call Mr. Gun again.

"Ready, sir,"

"If you're busy, I'll break up first. I'll call you back later,"

"Oh, no sir. If there is anything to say, please. It's all right, "Rey was forced to hold the man down so he wouldn't disconnect the phone because he hadn't made the point.

"Who knows Mas Wibie is right. He wants to discuss orderan?"

"Later tonight, Rey. Let it be more relaxed. The important thing is that you focus on driving first, your safety is more important than anything else,"

Uhuy.. again Rey felt choked salak seeds hear the man's speech. Why are the nights like this he speaks this way.

"Maybe mabok?" think Rey. Because what he knows is not usually Mr. Gun talk like this. When giving college, he was so decisive and disciplined. Wibawanya as a lecturer is very in his care so that all students of his class always obey all the rules set in order to follow his lecture.

As a core accounting lecturer, there are three courses that he can afford. All courses are compulsory. Rey has completed everything, for that he memorized the character of this one lecturer.

In addition to being a lecturer, he also served as the head of the study program. Instructing the thesis and often even become a testing team. Mr. Gun is an important person at the Rey campus, especially for the accounting department of the employee class.

"Rey, I'll close first. Don't go to sleep before I call" No sound was heard from across the street. Then Mr. Gun really hung up after that last word.

"Me?" Rey tried to spell out the words of the lecturer.

"Why did he suddenly call himself "me"?"

Rey shuddered even more considering that. He immediately removed the earphones from his ears. The sound of the gun pack that was quite disturbing Rey was still ringing in the ears.

"What the hell, she is" asked Wibie as soon as Rey removed her earplugs.

"Ga's clear. Just a little pleasantry,"

"He.huh,"

"Later he'll call again" Rey continued. His eyes are focused on the streets.

"Is he a typical flirtatious lecturer?" ask Wibie to investigate.

"Let's go" Rey recounted her lecturer's attitude during her lecture. Nothing leads to it, either attitude wants his words. He was so good in front of the students.

Wibie simply shrugged both of her shoulders and looked towards Rey at a glance. Knowing his wife was so focused on driving because of the very crowded streets around the Senen market, he finally chose to postpone discussing the matter.

Wibie who was enjoying a warm kebab occasionally followed the direction pointed by Nathan and Devara. The two children were so engrossed in discussing the objects they had seen along the way.

As an older sister, Devara patiently answered all her sister's questions. The little boy never stopped asking

"That's what, that's what?" to his brother.

*******

After surrounding the area Monas continued to Ancol, there was no sound of Devara and Nathan babbling again. Both fell asleep on their way home.

Rey takes the direction to the terminal Tanjung Priok towards Yos Sudarso then turn left after they are at the intersection of ITC Cempaka Mas.

"Racid?" ask Wibie.

"Ga, it's getting really stiff. Can relax,"

"Yes, ntar dipijitin. Let Mamang angkotnya ga bosen ngajakin we go for a walk," ledek Wibie.

"Hem..kalo I drove the angkot, full of passengers,"

"Believe me, I saw the evidence for myself,"

"Wk.wk...wk.

"Funny too, yeah! I met Mr. Gun outside the new school hours this afternoon. His attitude is also friendly, it is a little different compared to when he was in class. Just now I know if he is friendly and often laughs break when what we discussed is not funny"

"Maybe she doesn't know you're married yet?"

"You know. He asked, yes I answered honestly. Instead he held out his two thumbs,"

"Hemm," Wibie seemed to think. There was something that had crossed his mind, but he did not reveal it to his wife. As far as Mr. Gun's attitude can still be tolerated, Wibie will still hold back.

"Alhamdulillah has arrived" cried Rey relieved when the car he was driving had arrived in front of the gate of his house.

"Ntar, Mommy. Come in. All these new kids we're moving,"

Ms. Fat who heard the sound of a horn ran towards the door and opened it for them. As soon as the car had entered, Ms. Fat took Nathan from Wibie's lap, while Wibie carried Devara who remained asleep.

"What room, Mas?" yang Bu Fat who walked ahead of Wibie

"Upper room, Mom,"

They climbed the stairs with the boys who were so asleep. Growing smiles from their faces after her parents fulfilled her request.
