Quiet Wife
39. The Concert for Naura
Not really, time has gone so fast. The peak of the event on the first day began to be held right in the coastal area. One party starts a barbeque party. There are those who roll out carpets, make campfires, even those who sing while playing musical instruments there.
For example, Wika and Gino. Wika works as an impromptu singer. The woman was already famous for singing from the High School. While Gino, the man played an acoustic guitar. Picking string by string so as to produce very melodious music.
Since there were no drums, one volunteer was tasked with playing empty gallons as drums. It feels cool and fun. Although the fall in the sound of the music sounds a little strange, it is precisely there the peak of excitement.
Many who do not get the task just sit in a circle on a carpet while singing together. Sometimes, asa dressing session for those who have long been in charge of taking care of the barbeque.
Oh, forgot one thing. They also opened a cold drink stand on this starry night. Although only a lemon tea stand, it feels luxurious when holding it with a group of classmates alumni.
And here, Calvin's duty as a campfire attendant seemed to begin to relax. The fire that was made finally no longer extinguished like some time ago.
In addition to requiring more branches and dry leaves, adding a little more kerosene actually makes the fire last long enough. And now is the long-awaited part. That is, adding dry wood that is fibrous so that the fire is more durable.
For its own barbeque baked in a special roasting place. Calvin made the campfire solely to enliven the atmosphere while making the object of illumination clearer.
"Eh, guys! Reques song dong, I'm confused about what song to sing again." Wika told her friends. His brain feels dead. I was getting confused about what song to sing again.
Suddenly, Calvin thought of something. He quickly got up to Wika and Gino. "Here, I want to sing! Here, please videoin, want to make shipping material to the wife so she can treat the same taste of kangennya me."
Everyone cheered Calvin who so clearly showed his love for his wife. Although his wife is not here, somehow it still sounds so sweet.
"Here, let me videoin! There's a camera." Romi interrupted in the midst of the excitement of his friends. Oh, ja. Here Romi is tasked to photograph every moment of their togetherness.
"Ntar send it to me, yeah!"
"Berez, Vin! Just relax,"
"okay! Everything stands by! Three, roll, action!" Dani interrupts, as if as a director. Btw, Dani studied film.
Calvin's silly face started to turn serious. Likewise with Romi who began filming so carefully. His audience members began clapping as Calvin plucked his guitar several times until it became a musical tone.
Before long, the rhythm of Calvin's guitar passages that were originally still slowing down, began to sound fast so that the resulting tone was more melodious again.
The flashlight from the phones of his friends watching began to be directed at Calvin. Everyone was playing as if they were in a concert.
Feeling sufficient for the intro, Calvin began to take a deep breath.
"And it happened again
The old story repeated
You're hurt again
From the complicated love you're living
I want you to feel
You understand I understand you
I want you to realize
Your love is not her ..."
There was a pause for a few moments that made the opportunity for Calvin to take a breath again.
"Listen to my barrel
This voice calls your name
Because it's half me
Yourself ..."
The sound of applause and cheers are echoing. Everyone was excited to sing along to Calvin's singing.
"I'm here
Understand, you're never alone
Because I'm s'lalu
Near you when you fall
I want you to feel
You understand I understand you
I want you to understand
Your love is not him ...
Listen to my barrel
This voice calls your name
Because it's half me
Yourself ..."
Calvin improvises when he starts entering a part *******. All his friends were getting swept away by Calvin's singing. No doubt, some of them began to carry feelings until they glazed over.
"Listen to my barrel
This voice calls your name
Because it's half me
All your wounds have become my wounds
Because it's half me
Yourself ..."
The singing session was over, but Calvin was still playing his guitar to finish the final note. Just a few tens of seconds passed, Calvin finally finished. The applause and the cheers are getting worse. Everyone still did not expect to hear Calvin singing again after a long time they graduated High School.
And, yeah. Calvin's singing is the same. Especially accompanied by his increasingly melodious guitar playing.
"Thank you!" Calvin began to leave his place. Both of his feet stepped towards Romi who was busy fiddling with the camera.
"No, I sent it to hape lo!"
"Thanks, yes, Bro!"
"Okay, it's mateng! Who's in the laper?!" Screeches from the girls who served as barbeque cooks, immediately invited the attention of the whole.
"Gass! Laper me!"
"Mantapp!"
"Anvuuu!"
...****...
Tonight will be the first night for Calvin to sleep without Naura. The clock shows at eleven. Because tomorrow still has other plans, the barbeque event was stopped. Surely so that tomorrow can move well.
If only, Calvin had rolled here and there in bed long enough. Zaki and the others must have fallen asleep to dreamland. The sound of a subtle snoring makes Calvin conclude that Zaki has completely fallen asleep.
Trying to find the most comfortable position, Calvin began to pull the blanket to the neck. Both of his eyeballs, which were not sleepy, continued to be forced closed. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for Calvin to open his eyes again.
"Ck! I have to sleep without a wife, why does it not taste so good? I can't sleep, goddamn it!" Calvin moved back agitated until he ended up kicking the blanket.
Okay. Calvin Tidal could sleep without Naura. But what about Naura tonight? Does the woman feel the same way?
Too late will be a variety of daydreams about Naura, making Calvin gradually began to feel sleepy. Eventually, Calvin begins to fall asleep in a dream.
...****...
This morning, was the first morning Naura woke up without Calvin all night. Honestly speaking, Naura could barely sleep earlier. If not for continuing to repeat Calvin's singing video while playing the guitar, Naura could have fallen asleep.
Indeed, Naura was jealous of her friends Calvin who watched Calvin sing in person. Naura also wanted to be there and applaud like the others.
Oh, ja. Last night, Naura pretended to be asleep when Calvin sent her a video. Because if Naura gets caught still playing cell phones, Calvin's gonna be pissed.
However, thanks to the video, Naura began to feel calm until she finally fell asleep after quite a long time of being awake.
And this morning, after cooking and having breakfast with the others, Naura chose to take a walk alone to the complex park. Usually Naura will be accompanied by Calvin if here. But now, Naura herself.
Either because it was still early morning, the complex garden looked so desolate. When glancing at the clock on the mobile phone, it is shown at nine past fifteen minutes.
Naura let out a long sigh while choosing a wooden swing to serve as a seat. Naura secretly watched every inch of the swing that made her feel nostalgic.
Slowly, Naura moved the swing so carefully. And, yeah. Naura grew more nostalgic as she played that swing. His reflexes closed his eyes while taking a deep breath.
Not long after, Naura opened her eyes again. Want how strong the shadow of the past that rests on the head, still his sense of loneliness when this is the most dominant.
Honestly, Naura misses Calvin. Naura was eager to send a message asking about her news. However, Naura is afraid to interfere with Calvin's activities while having fun with his friends.
"Boss." Naura grumbled with her head lowered.
Time continued to run so that the morning air gradually began to fade. The day began to feel. Sunlight that previously felt warm, now began to heat up. Rushing Naura got up from the swing to return home.
But before that, Naura took the time to reach her phone. Look back at the video of Calvin singing to finish his longing.
In between footsteps towards the house, Naura unceasingly kept smiling sweetly staring at the video. He did not realize his steps because he was too focused. Until when Naura almost hit a pole, someone with lightning fast pulled her to the edge.
It was clear that it made Naura gasp to the point of dropping her phone. His heart was pounding, especially when his eyes started to sit with someone Naura clearly did not recognize.
"Bak if you walk carefully dong! Don't you see there's a pole? Just keep the same focus, not taken care of itself. It's still a good thing that the pole is plain. That's a branching pole, try if you get a stomach? That mama's pregnant again, a little careful can't she?" The long-winded babble from the young man made Naura come to a realization. Naura quickly distanced herself.
However, the current thing that made Naura confused was, where did the young man know that she was pregnant?
Being nervous and also a little scared, Naura just lowered her head while trying to find her phone. Sensitive to that, the young man also spread his gaze to the ground. When he found a cell phone, he grabbed it. It was about to be returned to Naura, but because her phone screen displayed a video with a familiar figure, her reflexes frowned while turning her attention back to Naura.
"Calvin's wife?" Feeling called out, Naura reflexes looked up. Not lasting, Naura's attention was immediately focused on her phone which was in the young man's grasp.
When Naura was about to grab it, the young man quickly hid it behind his back. Of course that made Naura wonder.
"I-it .. please-"
"Gue Davin, my friends. His former best friend Calvin."
"Huh?"
