Om Pamungkas
A year five months

Ratih stood beside the window of his room, visible lights dim from his yard.

It's been over a year, or maybe a year and a half, now,

he never heard from her again.

After the incident in Sarangan and returned to Java without saying goodbye, it is true that no one at home called the name of Pamungkas.

I don't know, his mother seemed to catch the impropriety, but after Pamungkas left, his mother did not discuss anything.

It was as if lost in the swallow of the earth,

since then Ratih realized, that what he felt was just a temporary feeling, but,

it could be because he is injured and lonely.

" Ah. lah.." that's what Ratih said many times when the memory with Endungkas suddenly appeared.

Naturally, he should still have a hard time forgetting Arga, but somehow his hatred grinded out his love feelings.

" Tok tok..?!" the sound of the door of Ratih's room was knocked.

" Have you slept Rat?" hendras voice,

" not yet mas," replied Ratih to make Hendra open the door of the room and enter.

His older brother showed his neat teeth arriving, and,

" showing teeth is not clear." Ratih grumbled,

" get out ayokk.." invite Hendra to throw himself on top of Ratih's bed.

" It's night, where?"

" find angkringan, chat.."

" talk here, can you?"

" where exciting, mas also want to go to sawojajar. order reading glasses for papa. it seems it's time to change.."

I look like I'm thinking, though,

" elehh.. think a lot, this same date with your mas is okay anyway..?!"

said Hendra,

" or? do you have a boyfriend? because you think you wanted to come out with me??"

" disfavor?!"

" i kok ngawur? who knows, after all, you've been widowed for over a year,

it doesn't matter if you fall in love again.."

Train quiet, though,

" how quiet is that, still having feelings for your ex-husband?"

" i'm not crazy mas," replied Ratih quickly.

" good thing.ayo we're out, buy what you want, when else.."

" didn't you want to move here? we meet every day, right?"

" Om providing a small contract next to the workshop.Maybe mas will take one.."

Ratih frowned, though,

" is it far from home until you have to stay outside?"

" I've been living alone for a long time, Rat, it's just weird to keep coming back here.."

" this is your house?"

" the house of papa mama. , as a boy I must have my own house..

otherwise how will my wife's son be.."

Ratih was shocked to hear his brother's words, never once did Ratih think the words would come out of his brother's mouth.

" So you're not married because you think about it?" ask Ratih,

Hendra laughed, then got up,

" This is the result if I often talk to om Pamungkas.I become old because often given advice..!" Hendra laughed, though,

" fulfilling the clothing, the food, the board.is it the duty of a husband?

then how dare you marry someone if you cannot meet all three..? kasian mas wife later.." added Hendra.

" Mommy, papa and mama will always help us." said Ratih kalem,

" no. maybe for you it's natural, you're a girl, but for me. I'm ashamed Rat, if you still have to accept papa mama's help, I'm ashamed,

I was the first child and a man who was quite mature.."

Ratih saw his brother was still in disbelief, so much influence, he could change his brother who seemed to be more concerned about the future

" then why arrive to work with om Pamungkas?"

" because I'm tired of working on projects that have to move around..

especially next year the project is finished I have to move to Kaltim,

" you don't regret it? your pay is big.."

" o sure gave me a bigger salary.." Hendra laughed, though,

" is this guy kidding?!"

" i keep going? that's it. It's important that I go back to poor after this..",

" Hemm. ya already, it's up to mas only good how.." Ratih took the hair and put on his jacket,

" said to go out mas? ayoo.." she said calmly, then walked past her brother.

Finally stopped his motorbike right on the porch of his service house.

" Where is midnight like this?" ask the yellow-skinned man and and the typical pointed nose of an eastern person.

" Why are you at my house this night?" tanya Pampung take off her helmet.

" I'm making a fuss with my wife.."

" and what does this have to do with me?"

" uh, especially if you don't sleep?!"

He got off his bike, looked at his friend for a moment.

" Jeez Raf.. You're not bored what's the fuss with your wife?" ask the manager,

" i'm bored.he's not." replied Rafael,

" gr.." Finally clucked upset, because this friend always uses his house for escape.

" Come on, open your house. Have I been this sleepy?!"

" patience..!" Unlocking his house, though,

" why don't you just stay at Dery's or Frans' place?" he asked after opening the door of his house and entering.

" Uh! can you finish me up?! here the name is beautiful white holy and clean just your name..,

my wife's not mad that I ran to your place.."

" uh. make a crap,"

" let's go, let me sleep in front of the TV, please,"

" That's fine, sleeping on the couch there.."

" are you the last one?!"

" dear.." replied Pamungkas into the room.

Inside the room she replaced her shirt with a shirt and shorts.

He took his HP out of his jacket pocket and sat down on the chair he had placed next to his bedroom window.

" Hendra.." he muttered seeing the missed call from Hendra three times.

" Yes Hen?" He called his nephew back, though,

" Om, haven't slept?" hendra's voice came from the phone,

" just got home from Hen's foraging, what's up?" answer Pamungkas.

" Ah nothing important om, just let me know that I've been in poor,"

" oh.. good, means you're going straight to the location tomorrow?"

" yes, it's a little afternoon no problem? I'm going home this morning, o'm.."

" Oh, you're having a show,"

" yes, I'm on a date with this beautiful widow." Hendra's laughter sounded so loud, too,

" Do you have a girlfriend Hen?" ask the smiling man,

" haha..!" hendra's laughter was loud again, making Pamungkas astonished.

" This is you know, the widow next to me, would you like to say? wekeek..!" Hendra did not stop laughing until the voice of Ratih who was angry.

Hearing Ratih's voice after more than a year made Pamungkas unable to say a word, he froze long enough.

" Hello om? um?" hendras voice,

" yes hello.." reply after quite a long time,

" want to talk to Ratih?" haggard Hendra,

" ah, no need. You guys just continue your show. I'm a little tired, so I want to sleep first," said Pamungkas quickly.

" so is it? really don't want to say hello?" ask Hendra again,

" no, you guys go on. I'll hang up the phone, okay?" without saying anything else, cut off his phone connection.

The man was pensive for quite a while, still holding HP in his right hand, he said,

His heart is fine for 5 months, this year,

but why, hearing the voice of Ratih just a little is not because anymore.
