Rai Universe
CHAPTERS 80. Two Expectations But Opposite.
As promised by Esta, if on the eve of the new year he will leave for the city of Jogja to attend the grand reunion Lantern Bangsa there. So since morning he has been busy arranging his clothes for him to carry.
“Ri, please pay for travel tickets dong.” His orders to Giri who was helping him.
“I ordered, Buk.” Answer Nisa.
“Ooh, have you? Thanks yes Nisa.” Esta told her secretary.
“Mbak, mbok buy that car. Let's not be hard anywhere. So I can nganter mbak everywhere.” Giri raised his protest.
“Iya, Buk. Cook ibuk everywhere ngojek.” Nisa.
“Can already have a car.”
“That's a laundry car. Meaning it's a private car so it's not difficult everywhere.”
“I'm not that hard. Ngojek is easy and easy.” Esta defended herself.
Giri and Nisa can only look at each other. They still couldn't persuade Esta.
Indeed, Esta prefers to go everywhere with a taxi or other public transport. He has no intention of buying a car.
Not long after, a travel car comes to pick up Esta. He didn't bring much stuff. He will only stay there for two days. Giri helped carry Esta's bag and placed it under Esta's chair.
Giri and Nisa let go of Esta while waving their hands. As long as Esta leaves, all laundry needs will be handled by Nisa.
On the way, Esta tried to sleep. But his fikrian just keeps soaring to a man who is missed by his little heart. His ex-husband in short.
Honestly, his heart trembled at the thought that he would meet rai. He had imagined a thousand times what rai was like now. A thousand times also he imagined his first meeting with the man after not meeting for more than 10 years.
“Where are you, Ma'am?” Ask a man sitting next to her.
The bespectacled handsome man with dimples smiled at Esta. It seems he was trying to drive away boredom on their long journey.
“Oh, go to Jogja, Mas.” Esta answered trying to be friendly.
“Oh, same dong. Original Jogja what is it?”
“Neg. Just going there to play. Coincidentally there was a grand reunion from school.”
“Wah. Same again. I also went there for a grand reunion. Which school is it from?” Ask the man later.
“From Lantern Bangsa, Jakarta Mas. Force 31.”
“Walah. Same dong if that. I am also from LB. Force 26.” The man immediately sumringah.
“Wah. Apparently the big sister to. Greetings, Mas.”
The man smiled. He reached out a hand which was then welcomed by Esta.
“Me, Oza.” The man introduced himself.
“I Universe, Mas. Commonly called Esta. Gee. Didn't expect to be together with upperclassman.” Seloroh Esta's.
The introduction brought Oza and Esta chatting with each other along the way. Oza tells a lot of his experiences while still in school in LB. He is a friendly guy and likes to joke. The journey was not boring.
“In Semarang live where?” Ask Oza again.
“Lazy Areas**, Mas. What about Oza?”
“I live in Kalis**i area. Deket workplace” clear Oza later.
“Oooh. So gitu.”
“Hehehe. Yes.” Reply Oza blushed in embarrassment. “If you? Work where?”
“I only work in laundry mas. The Universe Laundry.” Esta replied low. He did not say he was the owner of the Laundry Universe.
“Oh yes? Gee. It turns out that many coincidences yes mas.” Esta is getting more and more happy to get acquainted with her loyal customers.
“Easta Laundry...” Oza seems to think. “Don't tell me it's yours?!” Pekik Oza was suspicious.
“Hhehehehe.” Esta was ashamed to admit it. He doesn't want to look like a proud man.
“Hahahahaha. Oh gosh. I'm a neighbor, an alumnus, and it turns out I'm a regular at your laundry. Justjust wonderful. Hahaahahaha. Apparently Semarang is this narrow.” Oza looks very happy.
“Iya yes Mas. I didn't expect that.”
About 4 hours passed and travel has entered the Special Region of Yogjakarta. And now it's time for Esta and Oza to part ways. Oza's down at a hotel to be held reunion tonight. He's staying there. While Esta down at the Princess's house in the Tim**o area.
The Princess' house looks empty. The girl did not seem to be home. Makes Esta snort annoyed. He had already told me he was coming.
Esta pulled out her phone and called the Princess.
“Where? I've been living in this house.” Esta.
“Again buy eat. Bentar yes.” The princess answered across the phone.
Not long after, the Princess had already come riding her motorcycle. He brought some food for himself and Esta. Today he was lazy to cook, so he just bought it.
“Udah from earlier?” The princess asked who opened the gate immediately.
“Not too long, really. Lots of food?” Esta was astonished to see the many parcels brought by the Princess.
“My race. Laper eye. Hehehehehe.” Bela Princess.
Esta and the Princess then went inside the house. Esta put her small bag in one of the rooms she used to use when staying at the Princess' house. He briefly laid his body on the bed before coming out and joining the Princess who was preparing to devour his food at the dinner table.
“Come eat first.” Bring Princess.
“Waaahhh..” Esta looked up at how much food the Princess had bought.
On the dining table, there were already two packs of goat satay. Two servings of chicken. Vegetable lontong. Fried bakwan and tempeh, molen, and some other small snacks.
“gila. This is what's greedy?” Esta's grunts that even made the Princess chuckle. “Who will be playing all this?”
“Ya we are. Who else.” The princess was busy eating her pock.
“What time is the event tonight?” Ask Esta.
“Jam 7.”
“In hotel XX, right?”
Princesses nodded. “Said they'll have a fireworks show at the rooftop. Definitely exciting.”
Esta nodded in agreement. He thinks tonight's show will be a lot of fun. He also talked about his encounter with Oza. They are the same alumni as them.
“Ganteng?”
“Basic. You're the mulu in tanyain.” Dengus.
“I've been kebelet merrid, Ta. Just a soul mate who has not shown the reason.” The princess joking like a poet who really misses the figure of a companion.
“Measuring him don't choose sugarcane. Dapet the chubby new tau rasa.”
“Jut picky let not dapet that bongkeng. Hehehehe. Than you. Diem-diem. Still ngarepin ex?”
Esta looked directly at the Princess. The girl felt bad. But because it has already been, so all of you discussed.
“There are those who say that tonight Rai will come to the reunion. But only the birds. Don't know exactly what engak.”
Esta did not respond. He simply chewed on the freshly landed satay meat in his mouth. He hopes to meet Rai. But he also wished to never meet the man back. I don't know, it's like Esta's heart is split in two.
