Substitute Woman
New Status

That afternoon, Brother Tomy invited me to tour the city of Purworejo. Enjoy the breeze and the hustle of the city square. A very different view from the capital. If in the capital this hour is crowded because most hours return from work, they want to get home soon. Unlike the city of Purworejo, the atmosphere of the streets looks quiet. There were only a few vehicles passing by.

The road is smooth there is no traffic. Even they are very obedient to traffic signs. No one broke through even though the streets were not too crowded.

Brother Tomy pulled my hand to hug his waist. First trip on a motorbike. There is a taste that cannot be expressed by words.

“Hand later you fall,” he said in a slightly loud voice.

I thought, although I initially had doubts. This feeling reappears. The leaflets in the chest grew increasingly tight plus the smooth flowing hissing.

“Well, that's dong. If it falls later I'm in Papa's omelin you!”

I smile. Then the feeling changed into confusion. Confused what to say. Suddenly the lips felt faint because this pounding increasingly felt.

“Kak?” In the end, that's all that comes out of the mouth.

“Ya?”

“What's still far?”

“Before it arrives. Tuh tugu wayangnya already look.”

In front there, there is already a puppet monument that becomes the beauty of the city of Purworejo. I circulated the view, seen the plaza decorated with various statues and lanterns hanging on each side of the tree and on the side of the plaza paving road.

The atmosphere on Saturday afternoon was beautiful. Garden lights and lanterns have been lit. Brother Tomy parked a motorbike near the grand mosque. Then we crossed the streets of the square.

“Kak, photos, yuk.”

“There is a good time.”

I'm nodding. The atmosphere in the square was very crowded. Many parents bring their children to play on the playground, ride the delman or goes.

“Sini Kak Fotoin's. You stand there.” Brother Tomy pointed at the clorot-shaped statue. Specialty food Purworejo. Next to him is a durian statue.

Ah, it's beautiful. The place is clean and very well maintained. The swaying green clump adds to the martyrdom this afternoon.

The various poses I do. Then the pose ... It really invites that sense of tightness back.

“Photo together yes, make mementos.”

Brother Tomy invites photos together like a pair of lovers who are being combined romance.

“Kak, we goes yuk,” take me when finished taking pictures.

Brother Tomy was a little surprised by my invitation. Considering we're just the two of us where maybe powerful bikes are rubbing various shapes and big of it.

Most of those who rent bikes are in the form of cars, animals or others consisting of four or five people. There were also six people.

“You sure? Weight of that.”

“Nnot sure either, but let's try it.”

I pulled Tomy's hand accidentally. For a moment our views met. Then I took off that hand so that there would be no misunderstanding.

“Why on the loose?”

Without waiting for an answer, he held my hand. Then walk towards the parked bike goes.

“Tomy?” call a woman who accidentally met when she was about to cross.

Brother Tomy turned his head, his face looked like he was confused.

“Who is it?” ask Brother Tomy.

“Yeah, I forgot the same time anyway. Nia temen class class time SMA first.”

“Nia Prameswari?”

“Yes, how are you? Very different now.”

“I'm good, you yourself how?”

“I'm also good.” The woman glanced at me. Maybe ask who I am.

“Eh, know this Mey. My girlfriend.”

“Hay, Mey. I'm Nia Temen classmate Tomy.” The woman extended her hand.

“I Mey,” I said while replying to her hand.

“So this is the woman who made you__”

“Ah, who are you here with?” tony's sister interrupted Nia's words.

It seems Nia knows more about me. So I wonder what Nia really wants to say. Why did you Tomy switch the conversation as if I didn't want to know about it.

“Sama. Come there, they must be surprised to see you,” invite Nia.

Brother Tomy looked at me, seoalh asked can we not or want to go there?

However, before the question came up from her lips, I first told her to follow Nia.

“To be there, who knows they miss the same Brother.”

Brother Tomy smiled then grabbed my hand and stepped following Nia.

Rarely did we start to slow down as we turned towards the gazebo. There were some people sitting there talking. Occasionally laugh and enjoy a snack of beans along with canned drinks.

It seemed like they were in pairs, as it consisted of three males and two females. Plus Nia so there are three women.

Their laughter stopped when they realized our arrival.

“Ashik really, you still remember who is the same me?”

“Tomy!” squealing a man wearing a red checkered shirt.

The men also approached Brother Tomy and hugged the man-style. I met two women I didn't know.

Sari and Fani.

“Wah, the more handsome just lu.”

“Pantes seger, already have a girl now.”

“Not a single god anymore.”

The thumping of three friends of Kak Tomy continued to throw. They also laughed. I just smiled because I didn't know them and didn't know what to talk about.

“So, Mey is your girlfriend, Tom?” ask Fani.

“Not, but a future wife. We'll soon be engaged.” Brother Tomy grabbed my shoulder.

Whahuh? Wife-to-be? How outrageous is Brother Tomy! I want to set the record straight but it looks like Brother Tomy is gesturing to say yes to all of her words. Shame maybe if it's still single.

“It turns out that her name is Mey pretty too. If later Tomy makes you heartbroken, I am ready to replace him,” chirped the man named Rendra.

“Paan si lu, Ndra! Three girls not satisfied?” sahut Kak Tomy in with laughter from them.

Their laughter stopped when someone came.

“Tomy?” A woman in Korean style from head to toe. His face was shocked when he saw Tomy join the mob.

Maybe he just bought something. I could see there was something different. Not a look like an ordinary friend.

“Lilis?”

So does Brother Tomy, his face looks different. It was a little awkward as he shook hands with the woman named Lilis. For a moment they looked at each other.

The hot air enters this body. I don't know why it feels so sultry, even though the wind in the square is cool.

“Eh, have a look. Later Mey jealous you know,” said Nia while taking off their hands.

Lilis looked at me, then reached out her hand. That look seemed a little dislike. Especially when Nia says ....

“Lis, she's Mey. Prospective wife Tomy who was mentioned first.”

“News? You guys really like gossiping!” chirps Brother Tomy.

Nia just laughed. Lilis looked at me not like it. Seen as she shook my hand and mentioned a name. So jutek.

Then we sat back down to talk. Although it feels a little awkward. I don't know what really happened between Lilis and Brother Tomy.

***

“Goes, Kuy!” chirps Rendra.

“Ayok!” Heru followed.

They packed food and got up and stepped into the trash.

After that it goes simultaneously towards the goes. Choose the shape according to each taste.

It's a lot of people tonight. Many rented this great bike and the remaining ones consisted of only four people. We have nine people.

“Nah agrees, I'm with Mey, yes,”ucap Rendra who is met with a sharp gaze Kak Tomy.

I smiled looking at a face that might be jealous.

“Hahaha, relax, bro. Joke I.”

“Alah, most mode!” sahut Heru's.

“Udah, even noisy!” Sari answered.

“Yes I've been with Rendra to follow Tomy with Mey. The rest of you wear that one. It can be for five people,” said Nia.

They also agree. Except Lilis. Looks disappointed because not one goes with Brother Tomy.

“Kak, I'm the same with Fani. Let Lilis be with you,” my whisper before sitting on the chair goes.

Brother Tomy sighed, then looked towards Lilis. For a moment their eyes met each other.

There's a hot taste in here.

“No, you can't stay away from Big Brother!”

***

One round is not enough for us. Moreover, the spirit of Nia and Rendra who continue to goes, making us add one round.

Sometimes we stop to take pictures together. Rendra took the opportunity to take a picture with me. During the trip the man continued to fight.

Looks like he doesn't care about the status that Brother Tomy said.

“Eh, Rendra! Lu the chance of mulu, ye!” sulcan Nia's. Although they are not lovers but their attitude seems funny. It is even suitable to be a husband and wife couple.

“Paan anyway! Right before that curved yellow janur we still have a chance. Yes, Mey?”

“Gue won't send you to my wedding!” keep up Brother Tomy.

We laughed back. It seems like it is common for the three of them to fight. Maybe when their school this is one time gang huh.

“Yuk instruction. Layer new!” Nia started to complain.

“Lu mah is not everywhere Laper Mulu!”

“It is I have stomach times!”

Brother Tomy just shook his head. Seeing those who kept fighting made me remember Dion. How is the man.

***

Finished enjoying the grueling goes, we went to a culinary romance. Still around the square. There are several food stalls that serve Purworejo special menu and other menus.

We choose to eat chicken satay which is said to be the most delicious. Also one of their subscriptions apparently.

“Eh, last time Lilis__” Sari closed her mouth when Nia nudged her arm. He almost slipped probably.

So I don't want to eat. Moreover, the position of Lilis sitting opposite Brother Tomy.

Every now and then Lilis is seen stealing glances at Brother Tomy. However, the man did not care about it. He even showed his romance in front of Lilis. If the treatment of Brother Tomy gini, I'm afraid to fall in love really. Moreover, the sense of debate is getting stronger.

“Ehmm, if people dating the world feel they belong to both yes,” chirped Nia. That woman looks the most chatty here.

“You want a romantic cake for them? Here I kiss,” said Rendra.

Nia showed ilfil's expression. We seem to be the best visitors here. The other customers always looked at us and laughed as Nia and Rendra got back to fighting.

“You guys are suitable. Why not just do it anyway?” fani's Sindir to Nia.

“Gue is dating Rendra? Oh, how!”

We laughed in unison.

Enjoying dinner together like this feels more delicious. Although I had to endure the heat that ran through my heart and neck.

Without feeling the dishes on the table have run out. We hurried off because all that paid was Rendra. He turned out to be good, too, because all that paid him.

“Gue same Fani back first yes,” say goodbye Heru when out of the chicken satay shop.

“Gue would like to leave too. Afraid of her mother Sari ntar.” The man in the checkered shirt was apparently Sari's lover.

It turns out that there are four people. Nia, Rendra, Lilis, and Brother Tomy. Uh, I'm single too. It's just that tonight feels like having a girlfriend even if it's just a skit.

“Lah, I'm behind Ama who dong?”

“Lu don't carry motor, Ni?”

“Kaga lah, I boncengan sari.”

“ Bye, back to me.”

Rendra and Nia are back to fighting. Bid each other, refuse and accuse each other.

“Eh, what's the fight. She turned back to Rendra. I rode the motorbike so I couldn't stop. Moreover, this is malem you know.”

“Well actually said Tomy.”

In the end, Nia complied. Go home with Rendra.

Lilis just kept quiet, maybe she hoped to go home with Brother Tomy. Maybe it's just a feeling.

“Yes I've been back. Thanks, Ndra. Treaty,” said Brother Tomy while shaking hands in the style of a man.

I say goodbye to Nia and Lilis.

Lilis was still putting a jutek face on me. I don't know what's wrong with me. He doesn't seem to like me.

***

Apparently it's just an excuse. Brother Tomy did not come home, he invited me to sit on the bench of the square. It is quiet and there is only lighting from the square lights.

“Kak, let's go home.”

“Sit down first, enjoy this long night.”

I also sat beside him. Then for a moment we were silent. I don't know what to say, because the thought of the shadow of Lilis's face kept staring at Brother Tomy.

Ask about the relationship, maybe it's better. Or about his relationship with Lilis. Ah, I'll be in the frame.

“Kak, why did you say it was the same thing?”

“Say what?”

“If I was__”

“Community Sister?” He cut my words. Then look at me.

I'm nodding. Then avert your eyes because you can't keep looking into those eyes.

“The interview is outrageous, what if there is a heart that hurts?”

Even though the one who was hurt was not Lilis. Why am I hurt?

“Not a skit, but it's a reality, Mey.”

Brother Tomy clasped my hand and kissed her.

“Because you are the future wife of Brother. Since that promise and since that kiss.”

These lips felt mute, unable to say anything much less describe the feeling that was mixed in a blood clot called the heart.

“Sister will propose to you and marry you.”

Brother Tomy took something out of his pants pocket. A necklace with a heart.

“This is a sign that we're done.” Brother Tomy put it around my neck. Then pull the chin and come back to kiss these lips.

I pushed that chest. “Kak, this is a public place!”

“So if not a public place want?”

“No!”

Brother Tomy smiled. Lucky the garden lights are a little dim. So he couldn't see the red hue on the cheek.

“You want to be Sister's wife?”

Next ....
