Because Asti and Aryanto were joking around unconsciously. On the terrace stood a man watching Asti and Aryanto who were joking, with mixed feelings.
Throughout his observation of Asti, it was only then that he saw how free the girl expressed her feelings.
Never this long had he seen such a happy girl. His cheeks were red, his eyes were sparkling and his laughter was free.
The man was none other than Tomi. When he saw such a scene, he felt his chest rumble in jealousy.
There is an understanding that now arises in his mind, about Asti's attitude towards himself and Asti's attitude when facing other men who approach him. More especially against him or against Mr. Eko.
The girl is obviously always making distance and always trying to avoid his approach and approach with Mr. Eko. Apparently, it was because the girl already had a lover in the city of Yogya.
Standing in a short period of time and looking with his own eyes, the woman he loved turned out to have a partner.
So happy when they are together, so fun when they joke. Even his presence is invisible.
Tomi's heart was broken, like a wound that was splashed with vinegar. His heart that had been strong for a woman he loved was in vain.
So long were the days that he passed in Yogya. But his determination remains strong to go on duty by leaving Asti in Jakarta.
Certainly withholding such a great longing towards the woman he loved. But he must go to be a decent man and be the best man, to be able to return to face the woman he loves with a ready situation. But at the moment all his ideals and hopes seem to be no more.
It is like a fruit that had grown, from flowers to become fertile fruit but is currently in a storm. The fruit falls on the ground. Do not let the fruit of the tree also fly carried by the storm.
Tomi's spirit when pursuing Asti when he was still attending college at that time, now it is no use anymore. The longing that he endured while on duty outside the city, to the point of ignoring the beautiful women who also liked him. That's no use anymore.
The attention and enthusiasm he gave and he showed, while taking care of Asti in the hospital, did not seem to be a big thing or serious in the eyes of this girl. Lost hope Tomi. I don't know what to do again, after knowing the reality he saw just now. If a man can cry, this is the moment he can cry.
For so long he stood up while thinking about many things, Tomi finally realized and felt not wanting to know and face this reality.
Tomi blinked her eyes and intended to leave quietly from this house. His arrival was unknown to anyone, he thought.
It is better to go unnoticed by anyone, including Asti or his partner. Because if his presence is known by Asti or her lover, it will even become an uncomfortable situation or her with Asti, or with a man who is cool with the girl he loves.
Tomi turned her back and intended to move away from the house. But dear, his intention was not fulfilled. Because Aryanto who happened to look into the porch saw Tomi's movements.
“Ti, have guests yes there?” he said to Asti. Then the man immediately stepped out with wide strides .
“Good evening, Mas. What need is it?
Tomi had to turn her body back. “Em...” Tomi said as she stared at Aryanto's face.
“Or want to find someone, Mas?” aryanto said again.
“Oh... Asti.. Yes there is..ada...” Aryanto replied with a smile. Aryanto's suspicious feeling when talking to Asti earlier, grew again when he saw a white and handsome man coming and looking for his cousin Asti.
“Let's go in, Mas” said Aryanto again invited Tomi to enter his Eyang house.
“Thank” Tomi said Aryanto's words, but he stood on the porch.
“Alright.. I call Astinya first” saw Tomi did not want to enter with him, Aryanto immediately called Asti who was busy cleaning tablecloths, seat cushions and magazines scattered by his jokes with Aryanto earlier.
“Ti, your guest is outside” Aryanti told Asti.
“Hah? My guest? I have no agreement with anyone, Mas!” asti answered his cousin.
“Ya already look there, kasian tu he stood outside.. I've invited him in but maybe he's shy” replied Aryanto asked Asti immediately see the person looking for him in front.
Asti who was still walking with a cane immediately came out. When he saw the person looking for him it was Tomi, Asti's eyes glared. The unexpected arrival of this man, made him startle and his heart started with an abnormal beating as usual.
“Oh, you..” he said briefly while regulating his breathing. Ever since he learned that the student was a doctor, Asti almost never visited Tomi with the name ”Saudro” again. He felt sad because of that.
“Good evening, Bu Asti!” conversely, Tomi still continues to call Asti by calling “Ibu” as usual.
“Iya.. Good evening..” Asti was forced to be friendly. However, he remembered that Tomi had helped him a lot and contributed to him as long as he lay in the hospital.
Many of the men served in the hospital where he was rushed during the accident. Because the nurses and doctors at the hospital knew that Asti was an acquaintance of Tomi and they looked at Tomi. Asti gets more special treatment from the doctors and nurses there.
“Mari, please sit” said Asti directs her hand to the chair on the porch of Eyang's house and invites Tomi to sit.
“Sit inside only, Mas!” initiative Aryanto, seeing his cousin's sister instead pointed to the chair on the terrace instead of inviting his guests to sit in the guest room.
“It feels fresher sitting outside. The air is cool” Tomi replied with a really uncomfortable feeling. It feels like being a bully of the cool atmosphere of a couple.
“Oh, alright please. That's delicious!” Aryanto behaves as the host. It was a reasonable attitude, since the house was his eye-catching home as well. His mother and mother Asti are brothers. They were the sons and daughters, the masters and the hostesses of the house.
“Thanks!” Tom pulled one of the four seats on the terrace. The feeling is not good. It was the first time he felt this kind of thing.
But before Tomi could sit down, Asti stopped her movement with a hastily spoken word to Aryanto.
“You also sat with us, you know, Mas!” Tomi heard an anxious tone in the girl's voice. His heart is getting worse. Because he was sure, Asti did not want to sit alone with him. And he was also afraid that his lover would be misunderstood the presence of male guests whose partners did not know. What more if you talk alone with this guest.
Seriate…
