Not the Image of Rashmi
CRF #54. DAMPEN EMOTIONS

Asmi stared out the car window, the flashing lights of the vehicle did not interfere with her daydreaming event.

"Mang E, sorry Asmi snapped earlier. We go to the minimarket for a while, mang," he asked.

Eka glanced from the rear vision, "nothing den ra, rich as anyone. Mang E knows the nature of den rara..."

Asmi dropped a glance at the clock on her wrist, "mang, it's still 8.Almost once in the seafood booth, we snack!" invite him to dismiss all the sadness and confusion about Alvaro.

"Ready!" the answer turned the steering wheel towards the row of foodcourt horns.

Asmi does not play games, he invites Eka mukbang seafood and records it into whatsapp status with the aim that amih or his family know if forced to kauan blur.

Seafood sambal padang with crab weighing 1 kilo presented in front of him with dozens of shells, appetizing and quite spicy. Although no more spicy than the previous incident, suppose Asmi is channeling her anger through this food.

"Den rara, isn't this much?" Eka.

"Engga mang! Anyway we're having a seafood party tonight!" the answer is to put the phone and set it up in such a way that it can take the best side of the recording.

Alvaro tries to contact Asmi, not unwilling to run after like a bollywood movie, but Alvaro has responsibility for his duties tonight, he can not just leave the show and his job responsibilities.

A second later when he really clucked, the status in whatsapp'nya got a notification that his contact there upload a new status.

"Ammi?"

Alva laughed not because of the concert or his work, but because of the video made by Asmi.

"Mang E, not yet tritt! Don't take Asmi shrimp! Both will be together!"

"Eh, I'm sorry, kirain took it?! Nih atuh mamang balikin,"

Asmi screamed, "mang Eih!!! Take it again, time has been held behind againiii!"

The video ends with Eka who is loved by Asmi, her lips reddened by the spicy taste, her face sweaty, apparently the girl is snacking seafood one full table.

At first Alvaro was worried if Asmi would cry into or events then repeated again, but it turns out he did not need to worry as much yesterday, because in fact Asmi was fine.

"Kang, sorry.tadi I reflex so panicked..." Niah wiped her tears and walked over to Alvaro unpleasantly, actually there is also good Asmi so misunderstood on Alvaro but why should his lost phone in the pickpocket gondol while standing near the crowd of spectators, this event is indeed risky with crimes including pickpocketing.

Alva turned his head coldly, "the next time you don't carelessly hug people, Ni." He immediately let go of the girl without saying okay or I'm sorry.

Alvaro tries to pick up Asmi, he turns the motor handlebar towards the alley of Asmi's house.

*Mi, I'm in front of the house*.

The message was sent two checks, but Asmi had not read it.

Alva rang the bell of Asmi's house to make the wooden fence open slightly popping the head of Ajat mang.

"Eh, there's an Alva kang...want to pick up den rara huh?" shoot mang Ajat.

Alva commented a thin and grunting smile, "is there?"

"Yahhh, kang Alva late. Den rara just left ushered kang Dedi."

Alva faded her smile, her face water changed, "oh have you left?" he nodded in understanding.

"Indeed kang Alva did not say the same before den rara want to pick up? Or den rara didn't say she wanted to go with Mang Dedi?"

Alva thought for a moment, maybe Asmi was still angry with the incident last night.

Angry women are complicated, Alva clucked want to get to campus soon.

Amih who happened to be outside saw Alvaro in the gap of the fence that was opened and Ajat was talking to the security of his house.

With a cynical face full of hubris, Amih walked quickly towards the fence.

"Wait!" the resistance when Alva wants to start the engine of the motor until Alva finally undo his intention.

"Can you come in and have a quick morning coffee?" ask amih. Alvaro nodded without a sense of trepidation even though his amih gaze was so intimidating like a snake.

Alvaro entered when the Ajat man opened the fence wider, not until the parking lot, Alva chose to park his bike next to the security guard post and open his helmet.

Amih walked quickly even with a barricade in front of Alvaro made a loud bang on his cloth until it sounded.

"Sit down!" pinta amih's.

Alvaro smelled the scents of the steep incline at this time, but he would hear and face it without fear.

"Just want to go?" ask amih.

Alva nodded, "yes."

"Asmi's gone."

"I know, just now Mang Ajat said." reply Alva. The words of the two must be stopped because the arrival of Ambu Yuyun brought a treat in the form of 2 cups of warm sweet tea.

"Nuhun is ambu," said Alva saw a cup of tea that still reflected smoke in the thrust forward.

"Yun, got me 3 teaspoons right?" ambu Yuyun.

"Sumuhun raden," he bowed deeply then passed, "mango..."

"To the point only. I don't like you.." he said grabbing his cup and sipping gently the warm sweet tea water was delicious.

Alva is silent because he already knows without having to talk, even ants or flies only know just by looking at the sharp eyes.

"I don't like any men other than the ones I've chosen for Asmi!" look hard at Alva.

"I don't know, what Asmi saw from you?" raden nganten put his cup on the table, his red-cut nails look shiny exposed to light.

"If you ask me, you are wrong. Because the answer is I don't know. But if you ask me why I like Rashmi, the answer is simple because Asmi has my world."

Sekar Taji let out a wry laugh, "who doesn't like Rashmi?!"

Alva did not intend to argue, because whatever useless he would say, will not be white in front of Sekar Taji.

"Leave Asmi after Asmi improves.." she again dragged her cup.

"Please" said Amih staring hard at Alva. When he wanted to fight for Asmi, his mother instead asked him to leave Asmi.

Alvaro now pulls his cup and sips it in one gulp to the toilet, "that's it, give me one reason why I should leave my mother's daughter? If it makes sense then will I do it?"

Sekar Taji again snorted loudly, "you don't read? What do you have ?!"

"I know you're just playing around with my daughter, so leave Rashmi as I'll set her up with a serious guy! Don't you block my efforts or a man who's really serious about my daughter!" intonation increases.

"If it turns out that mother's estimation is wrong, I am serious about mother's daughter how?" tanya Alva makes Sekar Taji inflamed, a boy like Alvaro can not be serious.

"You want to feed my daughter? Can you support and fulfill the financials? His future, his children later?!" he almost shouted, but Sekar Taji dampened his emotions by twitching the base of his nose, "already. Please go, don't you have to go to college?" He left Alvaro outside.

Alvaro is not angry, he is very angry and offended, but still reasonable enough not to rampage in people's homes.
