SERUNI
CHAPTER 15 Shame But Want
"Can... is there a rule not to talk about kangen?" Seruni asked Shaka.
"It's not so, Ser. If I say kangen is with you, can't I? Is anyone angry?" Shaka looked at Seruni with a gaze containing bait.
Seruni hurriedly turned her eyes away. Fearful of her heart not being able to resist Shaka's charm. Because seeing Shaka, always reminded Seruni of the figure of his father when young.
"Cock not answered anyway?" Shaka patted Seruni's arm slowly.
"Nobody's mad, Bang. Say kangen can. Just don't tell me to talk, I miss you too, Bang. Nay! Because I haven't been able to miss, Brother has shown up again." Seruni answered with a slight joke.
"You could have. Want to check your order now or later?" shaka asked as he observed Seruni's swollen and bruised legs.
"Later on, Bang... Brother just arrived, tired."
"Why is this? How can this be? Not sick?" Shaka crouched down and looked at the state of Seruni's legs more closely.
"It's been far away. Thanks to Bang Sayaka." replied Seruni while pointing at Sayaka who happened to pass in front of them, carrying a clurit, about to look for grass.
"Be careful Bang Sayaka, Spirit!" shouted Seruni while throwing his best smile.
"Thank you, Ndhuk. Definitely spirit. In a few days, Siti will be on her way, adding more and more food to look for. Yes, I left first. Excuse me Mr. Shaka," said Sayaka immediately turned around and walked away from Shaka and Seruni just like that.
Sayaka's statement just now, leaves a big question in Seruni's mind. About the figure of Siti and the children that Sayaka meant. To his knowledge, Sayaka is not married, let alone having children. Seruni will ask Bu Sajad later.
"We'll just go in, Bang!" Seruni invites Shaka into the house.
Shaka nodded in agreement as he followed Seruni's slow footsteps as his legs had yet to recover properly.
"Kok, Sayaka calls you, Ndhuk?" Shaka asked the question with a suspicious face.
"Kan Seruni iki wong jowo mas, nek aame luwih enom, yo weighed Ndhuk. Nek luwih tuwo yo weighed Ma'am. (These serunis are javanese, mas. If the younger is called Ndhuk, if the older is called Mbak)." Seruni searched for the reason as precisely as possible.
Shaka nodded in understanding, he understood very well the Javanese language. "Tomorrow practice, Ser?" tanyakanya.
"You nata the same nitip goods Brother in the puskesmas. But the plan isn't all put there. Because it seems like many do not like my existence here. So, let the important ones be kept here only. Just in case someone is reckless." Seruni whispered a little while saying it.
Shaka looked with admiration at Seruni. Beauty, kindness, prowess and intelligence are all there. Every human being has its flaws. However, until now Shaka has not found it on Seruni.
"Please drink the coffee, Nak Shaka" Bu Sajad put a cup of black coffee on the table.
"Thank you, ma'am," said Shaka.
"Mom stay back for a while. Mr. Sajad is still meeting through the same video of the district people, because there wants to be road construction he said," explained bu Sajad without being asked.
"Video conferences?" Seruni confirmed Bu Sajad's intentions to Shaka and was answered only with a very gentle blink of an eye from the man.
"I've been here a long time, won't I take you around the corners of this Hamlet?"
Hearing the question as well as Shaka's invitation made Seruni's eyes instantly sparkle. "Of course you will, with pleasure."
"Tomorrow after you're done at the puskesmas, yeah. Bring your standard check-up tools, medications and vitamins. Exciting journey must begin, don't waste it and let's make memories" Shaka was so excited.
"Beautiful" praised Shaka inwardly.
Not long after, Bu Sajad invited Seruni and Shaka to eat. Mr. Sajad has joined them. After lunch together, Shaka and Seruni compactly dropped the goods ordered by the beautiful Doctor from Mr. Major's car.
"It finally settled too." Seruni stretched her body that was quite tired because the goods ordered were quite a lot.
Seruni seemed to be researching some items, many of which were more in number than the written ordered ones sent by him. Including checking the new motor matic that will be used every day.
"Well, this is more. Antibiotics, cold medicine, vitamins and baby milk?" Seruni continued to repeat researching the writing on the phone with the goods that were there.
"Intentionally exaggerated. Because it will quickly run out and be useful here. That's why, I said. The adventure starts tomorrow." Shaka replied casually.
"So how much less do I pay?" Seruni looked at the savings balance on her phone screen. Already thinned.
"no need. Just check on me now. Looks like I'm having a fever" Shaka suddenly pinta.
Seruni directly put the back of her hand on Shaka's forehead then on the nape of his neck. "Not hot, Bang. Try Bang Shaka lying there." Seruni pointed at the long chair in the living room. Shaka complied, and immediately lay down resignedly.
Seruni took a stethoscope in her room and used it to examine Shaka, "Normal you know, Bang."
The doctor then counted Shaka's pulse and was in normal condition as well. "Bang Shaka, this is normal."
"really? I feel like I'm having a fever." Shaka stays on his stance.
"What does Bang Shaka feel?" tanya Seruni, between wonder, worry and also suspicion.
"Litters, Ser. My feet are not boned. Going through feels heavy. My mind was unfocused, like I was having a hallucination. As far as the eye could see, only one shadow I managed to catch." Shaka stood up slowly.
Seruni began to know the direction of Shaka's conversation. "Basic, mode. Just say jablay," ledek Seruni.
Shaka chuckles. "Somehow, you've become a very insensitive woman."
Seruni snorted in annoyance as she flicked her lips.
"I'm going to the border camp first. What time do I pick you up tomorrow?" Shaka asked while looking at Seruni meaningfully.
"Jam ten, Bang. What are we going up?"
"Motorcycle. Just use the motor from my place. I'll take my leave first. Don't miss. We'll see you tomorrow." Shaka continues to tease Seruni.
"Bang... ever been hit by a Doctor yet?" Seruni pretended to be upset.
"Ring, Ser. Military doctors are fiercer than you." Shaka walked to the back looking for the whereabouts of Mr. Sajad and Bu Sajad who were alternately dyeing their gray hair.
Shaka went straight home as soon as he finished saying goodbye to Mr and Ms. Sajad. Simultaneously, Sayaka came from grazing. Seruni followed Sayaka from behind, not knowing that behind her figure there was a woman who always made her deg-degan, Sayaka immediately turned her body without permission, making Seruni look, and she was very happy, because the grass raised above Sayaka's head slapped her face perfectly.
Seruni lost balance, her body shrugged to the side, Strangely when she fell. Seruni felt a soft object welcome her. It is only fitting that even though he fell staggered with a prone position, he did not feel pain.
"Nuk!" Shouted Sayaka, looking very worried.
