Second Full
Tina and Wini
Later that afternoon, clouds covered the sky. Tina is now resting in her sister's navel. A speck of water slid down his cheek. Too many memories to remember, too painful to recall. Slowly Tina reached into her pocket and the necklace she wrapped around the tombstone of her brother's grave. Wooden headboard that is still fresh and has not been eaten by termites.
The wind blew down one or two Cambodian flowers. The cold wind.

In a narrow room, a Haris was pensive on his own. He took one photo at a time with Wini. Wini who looks so cute with a shirt dress. The photo album is great, it contains all Wini photos. From wearing a shirt to wearing a bikini. He used to reason that the album was for the company's archives. Though the album was for him to peek at his own at times like this. He was so infatuated with Wini, her natural beauty, her perfect body shape. When any scientist states, the fantasy***man is in the eye. Harris agrees with that.
Haris was no longer young when he first met Wini. He remembered very well, at that time he and his entourage were filming at the tea plantation and Wini was picking tea. The first photo of Wini is now he is tattooed with haru, there is a longing that feels dusty. During the break he told his cameraman to record and photograph Wini. The photos were the beginning of his closeness with Wini and for Wini himself, it was also the beginning of his interest to become a model.
Haris recalled, it was a drizzling afternoon. He came from Jakarta to Bandung, far away just to persuade Wini to be invited to join in the management of artists that he started.
"Assalamualaikum, punten," Haris told residents of the house. It is not easy he found Rumah Wini, he had to turn around the village kiloan meters. At that time the road was still land, not yet diurug stone let alone paved as it is now. At first he asked the plantation owner, capitalized on instructions from the surrounding residents he now reached the face of Wini's house. Wini seemed to be sorting vegetables with a much younger girl.
"Wassalamu'alaikum, mango, what's up," said Wini with oddly twinkling eyes. Haris looks like a bank guy. Wini so thought, maybe his father had the same business of the bank.
"Well yeah?" show Haris friendly. Sontak Wini so surprised. the three shake hands.
"Please sit sir, yes, I am Wini, what's up," said Wini with Sundanese dialect is still thick. For Haris, who had trouble sleeping all night because he imagined to meet the owner of the beauty, Wini's voice was like a gust of heavenly wind that invited him to fly into space.
"I'm sorry, before, I'm from the city. Remember, last Sunday I was one of the group of film crews filming in the tea garden. You guys are on set right, watching?" said Haris slowly.
"Oh, yes, I remember! Buty? You need what I do," asked Wini later.
"So this way, I am, you could say the distributor of labor. The film we shot yesterday, the cast was from me, I was the one who was struggling, I was the one who taught acting and I was the one who was looking for a job. So, I came all the way here, I'd like to offer you the same job."
"So, my brother wants to be invited to shoot sir?" tanya Tina plain and sumringah.
"You could say so, how, interested?" said Haris with a distinctive and hopeful smile, Wini understood and rather attractive.
"Ah, this father, I'm just a village girl, shy ah," refused Wini with a blush face. But the word of initial rejection from Wini, usually ends up agreeing. like other innocent girls, who used to recruit Haris.
"Honestly yes, yesterday I was fiddling with the camera to take pictures of you secretly.This photo, this photo, this photo, yesterday I watched the producer. The producer told me to go to one of the famous boutiques and it turns out, the boutique owner wants you to model their new clothes.How, you're interested, just photographed," haris said so convincingly while opening the envelope and photos of Wini that he revealed.
Wini thought while looking at her own photo. So did Tina.
Wini realized how beautiful she was and how good the photos were. Sedelik then, he looked expectantly at the clean man.The man who seemed to have aged still looked handsome and handsome.
"Rarely you know, there is an opportunity like this. oh yes, in the past, I once offered 3 people models at the boutique.but three-thirds of them they refused. but once I proffered the photos of you, it was, he immediately handed me a contract with me." This time, Haris' speech made Wini excited. His young soul exploded. Indeed he wants to find work, like his old friends who have worked in factories or restaurants in Bandung city. During this time he only worked in his own tea garden, or in the tea garden of the merchants whose tea garden was extensive. Not ungrateful, he just felt, as a young boy. He can do more work. And now? Haris came like an angel. Wini considers, Haris' arrival smells of miracles.
"The name is windfall, who knows, suddenly I got a location on the plantation, suddenly I think for your photo, suddenly the boutique owner wants to give your cooperation. Who would have thought, right?"
"In a moment, I said Ambu same Abah first," said Wini then tiptoed into.
Like fishing, Haris bait has sniffed the same fish, now just wait for the fish to swallow it.
Not long after, Wini's parents came out and they spoke at length. Finally Wini wanted to and her parents approved.
"You father mom want to come, come along, all picnic," said Haris and greeted enthusiastically by Tina and her family. Tina had just graduated from Junior High, coincidentally at that time she did not take a tour to the mini park.
"Yes Bah, go yuk" said Tina innocently.
"Ah, it'll interfere with your brother's work,"
"Ah Not Also sir, the work is only photographed doang. Nyobain clothes, photographed, changed clothes, photographed again, just doang not long. Trus we take a walk. My work is also just the nganter-nganter photographed doang," said Haris.
"Many company cars, if you want to stay, mess also many empty," continued Haris.
"Too to the mini park Deket no sir?" Tina was enthusiastic.
"Decet, how wide is Jakarta. How sir? If you want to come with me come on, or want Mr. Anter himself Wini to his workplace directly also please, this is the address," said Haris while presenting a business card. Wini chose the first option. He was right, his father rarely went to the city. Especially to Jakarta, play to the brother's house to Bandung city just stray.
"Let's Bah, come along, itung-itung picnic. It's really okay sir, my family is coming," Wini told Haris later.
"No, the car's empty. I came here myself."
"Yes, come on Bah?" persuade Tina. Eventually, the parents could not refuse.
"Now Sir?" ask Wini.
"Yes, the picture is tomorrow afternoon, rather than leaving tomorrow morning time to mepet, mending now, tonight we go in mess, tomorrow will be relaxed to the shooting place deket.," said Haris. Wini and her family are ready.
Haris took a breath. He remembered very well, at that first moment, he felt he had found something new and beautiful. The innocence of the Wini family is really imprinted in his mind. It was like experiencing life in the movie Si Kabayan. There's funny, there's shyness and so on.
Now Haris is brandishing a knife. A sharp and unattractive kitchen knife. Suddenly the sound of the door on the knock disturbed his loneliness.
GECKO! GECKO!!
