There are some people whose work every day is angry, what is responded to with anger, accustomed to yelling at people and accustomed to cynical and hurtful sentences. People like this are very easy to explode, the term is short. Mama Lisbeth is one of them, but mama still has her soft side as mama who gave birth to Holly.
Hanie arrived home and was turning the key to her bedroom door ...
"Han, your room you've been locked up since?"
"Yes... did you see when I left... Why?"
"That means Holly's not home..."
"It's this night?"
Hanie looked at the watch on her left hand.
"Udah sleeps ma, mama knows for herself she never goes out of the house at night..."
"Eat him, but he's not in the room, not everywhere. That was.. mama... Maybe she left because..."
Mama who is usually sangar, this time looks so different, the face of a mother who worries about her child.
"So why?"
"So mama saw Holly crying in the kitchen, all the time..."
Mama breathed violently.
"Ma??"
"Well, you've said he doesn't need to clean the house or cook, he doesn't want to be horrified. She was working crying, my mom told me to stop. Even more so the cry. mama did not understand. Han, he didn't run away from home, did he???"
"You sure mama didn't snatch or talk carelessly? Mama's mouth likes unfiltered, rough, ugly..."
Mama did not answer trying to remember what the talk was about.
"I'm looking for him ahead..."
Hanie left again, this time on foot. At the mouth of the aisle Hanie circulated a look for her sister's figure in a meatball stall, in a small shop that sells the same groceries all kinds of snacks belonging to her friend. Hanie crossed over and tried to search among the people who were again hanging out in the waist-high concrete that was displayed along that section. Hanie walked to the end of this wide road, not finding Holly. He crossed again and tried to peek at the coffee stalls he passed, although it was impossible that Holly went in there, full of fathers who played cards or chess even halma.
"Don..."
Sonny, one of the neighbors and friends during High School called right in front of his three-by-two-meter-long grocery store, the kiosk where Sonny and his wife lived.
"Son..."
Hanie was sitting in a plastic chair in front of the stall, Sonny was trading full in the stall, not yet a mattress for them to sleep on, no place to go in and sit inside, no room to sit inside, even Sonny's wares were partially laid on the sidewalk of the road. Hanie noticed that Sonny's two children were still running around, still small in the middle of the night and not sleeping.
"Request Dina mineral water..."
Hanie took out five thousand silver from her jacket pocket and thrust it at Sonny's wife who was staring at Hanie. Sonny's wife was their first class sister.
"Still working in a building store?"
Dina gave a bottle of water and a thousand rupiah, while Sonny was chasing two children who had crossed the road.
"Where else is it..."
Hanie gulped down half the bottle. Sonny came in with two children in his cradle, then put the two children on the bed.
"So, look at Tenry here, but I'm not sure if that's him.. He went to Aussie, right?"
Hanie raised her head as she thought of a possibility...
"Udah is done, have come back here too, maybe you see it's Tenry, Son..."
"Mmm... Is her hair blonde? He had a black sedan..."
"He's here means..."
"So his car parked in front of the stall, long time ago. keep him down and back again in a hurry and immediately go. I see it at a glance, so doubt..."
"Tenry doesn't know this is your shop, Son, if he knows he's stopping by..."
....
The hallway to the house has begun to quiet because it is past midnight, except on the big road earlier, the more late the more crowded it is. This village is a fishing village complex, at the end of the boulevard road. Most are still natives, not yet displaced more to the suburbs because of business development. On the same road approximately two hundred meters from here towards the city center, the houses of the residents have been changed into cafe or restaurant buildings and hotels.
So this part of the street became a kind of suburban hangout, where many stalls where coffee for three thousand silver, small snacks such as beans or boiled corn, where there were many stalls, martabak and fried foods, as well as rows of meatball stalls and porridge sellers and compotes. Of course, there are one or two sellers of disguised liquor.
"Here you go, Ko... Ko Tenry just came home..."
"Call him Koko..."
"Why?"
"Lingling's funny, I love asking..."
"Kok funny?"
"Hahaha..."
Tenry pinched Holly's left cheek. Behind them was someone following. Seeing Tenry's attitude towards Holly, she becomes convinced that Tenry is not just concerned because Holly is her sister. And he stopped seeing something Tenry was doing, on the uphill path Tenry's reflex grabbed Holly's hand and clasped the little hand.
Holly initially tried to let go, but the hand was so big, it almost went completely in Tenry's grasp. Holly who walked slightly behind Tenry saw her own hand in the hand of the man who asked to be called Koko.
Last afternoon, this hand held his girlfriend's hand, now hold my hand? Am I an actor?
Holly grimaced helplessly. When she arrived at the door, Holly pulled her hand a little forcefully.
"Thank you Ko... Holly went in..."
Holly only glanced a little then directly opened the door. Tenry wants to grab Holly for a good-night kiss, but she realizes there's nothing between them. Tenry twisted his body because the door was closed from the inside, walked with light steps down the road and smiled a little because of the incident tonight something unexpected and made him hepi.
"Tens..."
Tenry stopped and was somewhat misbehaved.
"Han.. I was..."
Tenry did not continue his sentence and just pointed with his hands towards Hanie's house.
"You're from my house, Ten?"
Hanie pretended not to know, but her heart was now in turmoil knowing one fact about Tenry tonight.
"Eh. yes, I was. Anterin Lingling came home..."
"We need to talk Ten..."
Hanie turned around and walked straight away.
"Where's your motor?"
Tenry lined up Hanie's steps to try to relax and act ordinary when he started to worry because he had expected what Hanie would say.
"At home..."
Hanie's short answer left Tenry at a loss for words to continue the conversation, stepping silently all the way to the end of the hall. Hanie, too, is confused where to start talking about Holly and Glo.
"Where are we going?"
Finally Tenry opened his voice as he watched Hanie who was only stopping on the big road...
"We went to the cafe over there..."
"Street?"
"Fine the car, already cape your way earlier..."
The words of Hanie ketus make Tenry's heart thin-ketir, his best friend rarely cynical to him, this time...
Koko Tenry is starting to feel bad...
