The Nine of Swords in Reverse and The Judgment

"I wish I could go to the exhibition with you" he said.

Rendi did not hear any answer from Tara, she knew that the woman did not really like art objects but did not refuse to also welcome such things. What might he overdo just because there have been many exhibitions that he enjoyed with Tara.

"Let me know if you can come yes, Tara," Rendi finally decided to end her question, temporarily.

"Yes, I'll tell you later, Ren," replied Tara.

Rendi smiled, "tomorrow, I leave for Banyuwangi." He was confused as to why he should tell her that.

"Oh, that. All right, be careful there," said Tara, Rendi heard the woman slightly yawn. He doesn't want to make Tara sleep less.

"Sleep, it's late, don't forget to brush your teeth and pray" he said.

"Yes, I'm not the son of a Kindergarten boss anymore" said Tara immediately closed the conversation.

Rendi looked at her cell phone, there was no good-bye she received. He put the phone on his side table and looked out the window. The night wind was blowing more piercing into his body, he was thinking whether he should really end this?

Ringtone ya rang, without seeing who called him he replied, "Yes, so how?"

A woman replied from the other end of the phone, "What's the matter?"

Rendi looked back at her phone screen, Sofia was listed there.

"I just called you. How strange that you quickly picked it up before the third ring," Sofia was astonished. "Waiting for the phone, are you?"

"Ah no, I thought my friend called again" she explained briefly.

"Have you tidied up your clothes?"

"Already, the clothes I brought were not much. Anyway there must be a place to buy clothes," Rendi stepped into her closet. Actually, not a single piece of clothing had entered his suitcase.

"I think you need my help packing your things" said Sofia.

"Don't, you'll steal my underwear later" she said.

"I won't take him to the shaman," he refused on suspicion. "Unless it's urgent."

"Well, can't be trusted," Rendi clamped her phone with her head and shoulders, her hands working off the hanger and then folded it and stuffed it into the suitcase.

"You pick me up or I pick you up?"

"I'm sure you have more than one suitcase, there's no way I'll pick you up and use a motorbike, Sofia," he put his shoes in storage and put the origin in the suitcase.

"I want to hug you on the bike" he said.

"Time's still long, Sofia."

Tara stirred the porridge until there was not a bit of porridge that was not exposed to spices. Kiara glanced at him irritatedly as the 'gadpire team' she felt Tara had already destroyed the already harmonious formation in her bowl to be shapeless like that.

"What legal entity doesn't get invitations from art exhibitions?" Kiara wonders.

"The law knows the books, the chapters which are far from artistic form, they are all symmetry. So where dapet is that," said Tara while devouring the porridge.

"Yeeee, why do you think your stats kid can try that invitation?" ask Kiara emotion.

"Hahahaha, connection," Tara replied proudly.

"Great style" Kiara sipped her fresh tea.

That morning they finished their meditation class and went looking for chicken porridge for breakfast. The sudden change in schedule made Tara have to sleep faster last night. Undeniably, when he cut off Rendi's phone connection, he thought. Especially when he doesn't respond. However, it would be much more painful for his ears if he got this talk of his best friend.

"But the situation," Tara stirred her porridge without her noticing. "Rendi also took the cave to the exhibition."

"Hm," Kiara momentarily came to think, she knew her best friend and ex who worked in the art section was indeed often visited the place of art exhibition like that. "He's ngajak lo? Not that he has another project in Banyuwangi you said when?"

"Yes, today she's leaving," Tara still kept stirring her food slowly.

"Don't play with your food," Kiara took a spoon from her hand. "He's still reporting?" which is answered only by nodding.

"Gue's confused, Ra. On one side of the cave still want to be with him but there is something holding the cave, I don't know what it is," Tara looked at her best friend. "Because the cave still holds a doubt that he's not 'alone' there'. It seemed there's someone there with him."

"Lo don't try asking?"

"But you're curious to be half dead... Don't understand the cave of Lo's mind path," Kiara returns the spoon to Tara's hand.

"Well, I..."

"As long as there are still many questions in your mind, you haven't really sorted out with your relationship. Sure enough, something that has not been clear will be more stacked with millions of over thinking." Kiara devoured the last mouthful of her porridge.

The thought of someone might have been with Rendi was already the beginning of why he ended his relationship with Rendi. Tara kept their commitment, not once did she communicate more with the opposite sex excessively because she knew to whom she had to guard her heart. Then, the more days Tara did not recognize her powers. After breaking up, the effort to forget far from the word succeeded, his meditations may not produce meaning, even now he is more gambled than before.

My God, is there any reason for me to still hold it tightly in my heart?

"Mbak Tara, called mother to her room," Atika, the secretary of Bu Salma conveyed the message of the head of the department.

"What's up, mbak?" Tara who just opened her brown cardigan, immediately tidied up her appearance and followed Atika to the room of Miss Salma.

"Related to the report, mbak tuhnya," replied Atika while walking towards the room of Miss Salma. He knocked when he got to the door. "Mom, Tara's mom has arrived."

"Come in" said Ms. Salma who was standing by the window looking down at the main street in front of her always crowded office. "You can go Atica."

"Good, Mom." Atika nodded towards Tara retreating.

"Good morning, ma'am," said Tara. Tara glanced at her report data on the desk of the department head, then some thick documents that Tara had been ravenous for some time until it felt like vomiting.

"Why are you, Tara?" Ms. Salma was still looking down at the street below.

"I mean, Mother?"

"You want to mess with the report you made? You know soon our big event will be held!" Ms. Salma turned to look at Tara who was still standing not far from the door. It felt like he stepped a thousand towards the door and out of the room that suddenly felt creepy.

"Have you read last semester's report and the results of your research correctly?" tanyanya sharp.

"Already, Mom," replied Tara who could only look at the stomach of Ms. Salma, to raise her own gaze was very heavy.

"Your report, fucked up! Perverted! If you can't work with a becus, you'd better submit a letter of resignation!" bu Salma Spray. "Have the clerk not becus like the Tomo, the husband is not becus! When will my life be easy?! You only add to the problems in my life!"

"Sorry, Mom," said Tara slowly. It felt like the floor under his feet was swallowing him so that he could be lost right then and there.

"Our budget balance for the event is out of balance, Tara. Take your work seriously or better consider resigning!" He nodded and kept saying the same thing.

"Thank your reports and files, work there! I'm sick of seeing her," Miss Salma turned to look at the view on the highway back and said things about her husband more to herself.

Tara picked up the reports and documents until she could barely see the road ahead. "I'm sorry, Mom."

"Already, there!" snarled Miss Salma.

After successfully exiting through the door while carrying a pile of files, Vanka was already standing there. He took half of what Tara had brought and helped bring it to his desk.

"Lo didn't bring a trolley?" ask Vanka when she puts the file on her desk. That pile of documents landed back in his working area.

"Where do you know if you ask to bring back the documents," Tara said as she wiped her sweat on the forehead.

Vanka did not say anything and only handed him a pack of tissues, because he knew after this Tara would stay in the office toilet for some time.

Susi approached, "look who got sprayed early in the morning, Ms. Salma. Congratulations, yes."

"Eh, bacot you yes," Vanka rode a black.

"You mean?" Susi pushed Vanka.

"Already, already," Tara tried to calm the situation.

"The mouth is not just meant for doang, a real school," Vanka was impatient.

Susi who did not accept grabbed Vanka while cursing.

Tara tried to break up but the fight became much fiercer.

Vanka looked at Tara, "you've calmed down there. The business of Ama the Susi let the cave alone handin. There! Lu bacotlu had been rustling the cave from a long time ago," he said back towards Susi.

Tara hated not being able to ease the situation but she finally got away from the increasingly crowded crowd. He quickly stepped into the farthest toilet he could reach. Ground floor toilet.
