SERUNI
CHAPTER 35 Killing the Heart
"You, Sayaka and Dad." Subroto slowly opened his eyes again. Realizing Sayaka was also there, her intention was to slightly prank the man of her single daughter's choice. "Ka, it was not that I said do not follow Seruni. Why did you bring him here, to?" his nag.
Sayaka gulped her saliva with great difficulty. Just now Subroto and himself establish familiarity, cooking will be disturbed because of the impatient Seruni. But as a real man, wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to directly blame Seruni in front of Subroto?
"Ka? How come you're even this, "reproved Subroto with a stern tone.
"Ehm, look, sir. I actually did not accidentally pass the same as Seruni. Because it has already passed, of course it is very unlikely that I avoid," replied Sayaka.
Seruni smirked at the end of her lips. So proud of Sayaka's attitude that does not show how very aggressive she approached the man.
"really? Then why did Seruni suddenly enter the room as impolite as usual? What are you saying to her?" Subroto again rests his back on the back of the bed. Delaying his attempts to go to sleep earlier than usual.
"I didn't say anything, sir. Just saying that tomorrow we go back to my area. Just like that." Sayaka immediately replied with an honest look in her eyes. At first glance he looked at Seruni who was even grim because he knew his father must be pranking Sayaka.
"The Serunis were polite. If you want to enter the door, knock first. If there is no answer, do not dare to enter. Now even sradak sruuduk," this time the peeved glances Subroto precisely directed at Seruni.
"Of course I'm impatient. The Serunis plan the day after tomorrow just go back there. Even Dad said tomorrow. Who is not surprised. Plus I just said come in there. Who is it or who is Dad? It just healed. Getting out of the hospital is also a matter of hours. Not yet sleeping on my own father's bed" Seruni pinched his father's arm.
Subroto scrunched his forehead. It had been almost thirty-one years of Seruni's age, only this time he had witnessed his eldest daughter acting coquettishly in front of him. A pinch was a rare thing he received. Military background that he often brought in everyday life, making Seruni more often hit his arm if being anxious than pinching like now. Apparently falling in love with Sayaka really changed her single daughter's temperament a lot.
"You forgot who you are, Ser? Let alone pain like yesterday. Bloody legs after surgery alone Dad can still run fast. Don't protest too much. Now let Daddy and Sayaka rest. You too, there go back to your room. Tomorrow we leave at seven in the morning. Let Shakala pick us up and drive us to the airport."
Seruni looked at her father with an astonished and questionable look. "Why does it have to be Mas Shaka anyway, Dad? I guess there's no one else. You're just gonna show me who that is?"
"Don't set up Dad, Ser."
If Subroto had said so. Seruni could no longer say anything but obey his will as a father. In his heart, he did not think, why his beloved father seemed to continue to involve and present Shakala among them. In fact, surely Subroto understand very well Seruni heart for whom.

The next day, early in the morning before five in the morning, Shakala had come to Seruni's house. Of course, the flight schedule is seven-hours-that means they have to arrive at the airport at least an hour in advance.
There was clearly anxiety on Sayaka's face. Just got drunk after the plane was felt, in a moment he will feel the same taste again. Plus, now there's Subroto with them. How can he pretend to sleep to reduce his nausea and dizziness.
"You drink this first, Ka. Guaranteed to be safe until Kalimantan. Even in front of your house" whispered Shakala while giving a small yellow medicine. The drug is usually specifically given to family members of the troops who want to be invited to move in service but experience drunk vehicles.
"Seriously, Mr Major? It's potent, right?" sayaka asked while receiving the medicine.
"Yes, I joke. It's been a sip of a drink before anyone's seen." Shakala opened the back door of the car, took mineral water neatly arranged behind the backrest of the front passenger seat and gave it to Sayaka.
Not long after that, Seruni and Subroto appeared carrying their respective suitcases. Quickly, simultaneously, Sayaka and Shakala also stepped wide to approach the fathers to help carry their luggage.
Shakala opened the car door. Then he put the luggage in the trunk of Lexus's car from his parents' brother.
"You're ahead, Ka. Let me be with Seruni in the back" Subroto ordered as he got into the car followed by Seruni.
After everyone had sat in their respective places, Shakala immediately drove her car. Almost near the airport, Seruni asked Shakala to stop for a while in the hotel parking lot to pick up the souvenirs that she ordered impromptu from one of her doctor friends in Surabaya. Two large cardboard boxes that do not know what it contains, obviously have to pay for their own luggage. Nevertheless, it was clear that it was not a problem for Seruni.
"When did Mr. Dhe get there?" subroto suddenly broke the silence in the car.
"Maybe another week, Mr. Dhe. Waiting for all items to be sent complete. All waiting for the change in ponorogo completed. Tomorrow I'm just going to go there to evacuate one of the residents who has his family shackled." Shakala turned a glance towards Subroto, then refocused on the road because less than a few meters more the car they were riding in would pass through the airport entrance gate.
"Are there still people who can fit?" tanya Seruni entered into the chat Subroto and Shakala. While Sayaka as usual only listened for fear of mispronunciation and also in the heart still anxious about the continuation of anti-sickness drugs given Shakala earlier.
"There is still, dhek. There are a lot of cases like this there. In addition to education and economics. The health there is very concerning, Ser. There is one village where 70% of the people have a mental disorder. Besides being malnourished, it also happens because of inbreeding" Shakala explained. Make Seruni advance his seat. This kind of conversation always attracts his attention.
"You want to move to Ponorogo?" tanya Subroto which of course was immediately answered with a pinch by Seruni.
"You're gonna be a nyubit gini, to," lamented Subroto pretending to be sprained.
"This is supposed to be a woman, Dad. Not if the whole punching," said Seruni.

The car they were riding in finally stopped right in the passenger drop lobby. Shakala came down and waved to the potter's attendant to help bring Subroto, Sayaka and Seruni's belongings.
"Mas Shaka, how would you like to be told by your father?" Once he got the chance to be close to Shakala, Seruni asked and wanted to investigate the matter
he thinks it's still unnatural.
"You nanya?" Shakala even answered by asking again using the latest tones of viral tiktokers.
