Swipe You, Swipe Me
The King of Wands and the Four of Wands

"Second round?" take William.

"Move down doang?" ask Genta.

"It wasn't, it was Sonor8" William said.

"Eh, come on," Vanka's response to the spirit. For a long time he had not wiggled his body in the sound of deafening music.

"Mmm," Genta glanced at his watch. "Since Tara is not a morning person but tomorrow is still Friday, the cave between her back again."

"Lho, if you want a second round is okay. I can order Uber," Tara assured and that's exactly what she meant. Accustomed to independent does not make himself bother about inter-introduction.

"Yes but I'm not calm" Genta said.

"Duvlut..." Vanka smiled mesmerizingly while nudging Tara's legs.

"Gua up, deh," broke up the guy next to Tara. "Antar madam country first."

"Honey alone, I'm Tara is not Iriana's mother you know," said Tara widened her eyes.

"Well, we seperated here," William slipped one of his hands into Vanka's waist as they stood. "I'm so glad how we spent time together."

"Yes" said Tara. "I'm also happy to meet you Vanka." he emphasized his tone when saying his friend's name.

"Oh, no problem. We can hangout together without these men, sist," the response that defines the real situation.

"Wil, the cave sense Sonor 8 late," Vanka yelled against the roar of the wind sound by the speed of the motor.

"Replace, ga problem?" Answer William who focuses on winding smoothly splitting the road with cars on his right-hand side.

"Where are you going?" Vanka tried to glance at the clock on his wrist and make sure he was safe enough on the motorbike that moved like a barong sai.

The clock shows at half-time 10pm, not too late for those who like to spend until far away at night. But without knowing the direction they were going, a speck of anxiety approached his head.

"Lo no intention to bring the guts test cave to the haunted house, right?" He could only throw funny questions behind his anxiety.

***

"Still considered a guts test?" William shuts off the motor and opens the helmet. They stopped at a simple house in the complex in Karawang area,

Simple but beautiful house. Stylish touch typical ethnic Balinese with some carvings decorate the main door. Also the poles that refute the carport are carved into a beautiful floral streak. Not to forget, each corner of the garden decorated with potted flowers to frangipani plant flowers. Vanka believes, the owner of this house likes gardening and taking care of it himself.

"Bantat the cave is dammed, this is far away Karawang ampe," complained Vanka.

"Yes down first, yuk," William asked.

Vanka said he wondered whose house this was and whether they would go inside at an hour that could not be said to be a guest.

William casually opened the gate and entered the terrace area. He stopped and knocked. There were shortly footsteps half running and the door opened.

"Oma, Om Wiyi, too" cried the four-year-old girl who opened the door.

"Eh, there's Ruth, yes," William's eyes widened to see the little boy with the sweet-faced flat bangs cut out.

"Om Wiyi, Om Wiyi," asked Ruth with both hands up, asking to be carried.

"Hup!" Quickly the sweet boy had moved into William's sling. He hugged William's neck. "You're getting heavier, Ruth!"

"Just son, Umhh. I, I diet tauk, Om," he said stammering.

"Well, I know what diet is," William nosed the boy.

Ruth looked at Vanka, "why?" His index finger pointed briefly towards Vanka and landed right on William's lips.

"Let's go in for acquaintances" said William.

Ruth still looked at Vanka who followed William into her house. Vanka glanced and put on a funny face that made the sweet boy misbehaved and covered his face with a tender on William's shoulder. Then he stole a glance and came back timid.

"Sister Vero's coming?" William said when he found a beautiful woman with a pointed chin.

"This was just about to go home" The woman named Vero took Ruth who was still clingy like a koala.

"Ahh, indong om Wiyi, Om Wiyi" he asked.

"Ga wants to go home before I see you, she said. Uh, hi," Vero's eyes turned to Vanka who had just been quietly observing. "You don't know bring memen gini. Hi, I'm Vero, William's brother. Can you believe that the three of us brothers have names that are sequential in alphabetical order? Vero, William, Xaverius, VWX hahahah... What's yourname?" He extended a hand. Vanka can feel, Vero is someone who is friendly and easy to accept new people, he is a little relieved.

"Vanka, sis" he answered, extending a hand.

"Hi, sit around, at the dinner table, let it be easy to grab a drink" he asked.

Vanka turned his gaze towards William who only answered with a wink.

"Abis cook soto, brother?" Ask William.

"You know, mama wanted it so came too. Where Ruth said she misses the same, Om-Omnya," replied Vero. "Ma, there's William's friend, no."

The deg!

They have been talking intensely for the past two weeks. Not the slightest thought occurred to him, the first day they met, directly also met William's parents. Which woman does not see the mother of the man who is close to them. Vanka tried to judge her appearance as if it was appropriate to meet her mother. Okay, this is a serious guts test.

The one that my mother called out, appeared from the direction of the dining room. The middle-aged woman who still noticed her appearance. Unlike most mothers who have worn their great clothes, negligee, but the mother of William is still wearing casual clothes but still neat. Her hair was curled and pinned on a konde skewer. His hand held a napkin to dry because it was wet after washing it. His face was beaming with many smile lines at the end of his eyes.

"Wilun's time has come at this hour?" Said. "Here, Vanka," Vero's hand waved inviting him closer.

"Aunty night," Vanka reached out his hand when their distance was close enough. "I'm Vanka, sorry to see you at night."

"Oh, this is Vanka's son, Wil?" His hands welcomed as he glanced towards William who replied with a smile. "I am Utari, their mother. In and out, we're in the dining room, "Utari invites Vanka to the dining room.

"Vero, make wedang uwuh gih, manyin ya," Utari orders his eldest son. Then his gaze turned to Vanka who was walking by his side, "Eh, you can drink ginger right?"

"It could be, Auntie, but don't bother," Vanka laughed. Indeed, he swallows the Vodca mixture faster with a little lemon juice than something that sounds like a spell in his ear. What was that, wedang? A shawl?

"This is a mallem, you must be on the road was cold, riding a motorcycle anyway. Wilun is not a feeling." said Bu Utari.

They all arrived at the dining room, the sound of chairs shifting from each side. "Please sit down, come on, come on."

The grounded vero makes a drink, immediately busy at the other end of the room which is only separated by partitions of wire hung various photos of polaroids and hanging plants. He boiled drinks for those whose names were foreign to Vanka's ears. Utari who was sitting opposite Vanka looked at him straight.

"Ma don't be made tense that dong," annoy William with a laugh.

"Who is tense, yes, Vanka," Utari asked for the consent of the woman before her.

Well, I am, great-grandson of Vanka in the heart.

"Where did you know William?"

"Oh, yes, she's Gentong's girlfriend, ma, '" said William. Vanka giggled a little when he found out that Tara's close friend had the nickname Gentong.

"Oh, the world is narrow apparently. Uh yeah, the old Genta ain't here, how's it going, Wil?" Ask mother.

"And he's there's an exhibition, ma. Keep busy with her new boyfriend, you know," Ruth who was in her cradle patted William's cheek looking for attention.

"Oh, deservedly, usually like to change your mind. Until I thought, were they a gay couple," joked Bu Utari.

"Ih, mah, say the prayer" said William.

"Yes, no. Mama also does not want to add a boy, you are quite the same Iyus," he said.

"Well, where is he? Haven't come home?" ask William.

Vero replied from a distance, "he said there was a college assignment, so go get in your house."

"Ah, at most he played the band, tuh," said William.

"Om where, Auntie?" ask Vanka the real pleasantries while preparing for the increase in the level of the guts test.

"The father is a child, his work in the middle of the Java Sea there. Next week he's coming home, so yeah. Good thing to have two boys so there are those who take care of them," he explained.

Vanka is relieved, at least the guts test level will be postponed first.

"What are you doing, Vanka?" ask Utari while opening jars containing snacks. "These are tasting, nih."

"I work at Mitra Group Indo, Auntie. The statistics team." Vanka explained.

"Wil, be careful later you will be analyzed continuously you know, Vanka," Bu Utari lyrics while eating one nastar.

"Ah, aunty can be," said Vanka.

"Now, drink first," Vero finished attacking the drink that Vanka had forgotten his name. One by one the clear cups were placed in front of everything on the table. "I think I'm in cardamom mostly, ma. So if the aroma is a little tight, yes maklumin, miss," Vero patted the back of Vanka's hand gently.

Vanka looked at the glass, a lot of spices that were as chaotic as the streets of the capital in the glass. He wondered if it was worth drinking even though the color reminded him of red wine.

"Never drank wedang uwuh nih definitely," said Vero who stirred the contents of his glass with cinnamon.

"Hahaha, yes, not yet brother," Vanka still noticed the contents of the glass. "But I know it's cinnamon." Seraya pointed at the cinnamon bark sticking out of her glass with the task of stirring.

"Try it first, it's unique. It's good for the body that has the night breeze, there's ginger because" said Bu Utari while sipping a little because it was still warm. Even a thin puff of smoke still billowed from each glass.

William who was just silent from earlier had filled his drinks because he shared with his nephew who was still in his lap. "Don't, try it. Special recipes derived from the family, but lowered only for women only from the eye. So I don't know how to make it, who knows you'll be taught by mama."

"Can, later we look ahead," said Bu Utari relaxed.

Vanka was a little excited when he knew this family heritage recipe and Bu Utari wanted to see their development before teaching. Is this a warning or a green light? I don't know.

"Vanka try yes, Auntie," he let out and blew a little before sipping. A faint sweetness lingered on his tongue, the rich and thin aroma of the spice bitter taste attacking the taste buds. His throat and body warmed up instantly and he found himself hooked on sipping the contents of his glass.

"Where, how good?" Ask Vero.

"Surprise the hell I'm a sister, it doesn't feel like a sighting," Vanka value. "Nob."

"Just like alcohol, it seems relaxed but we are also surprised when drinking" said William. One table laugh.

"I. Need. Explanation," Tara poked her head behind Vanka's desk grid.

Vanka gasped in surprise in his chair, "astaga, if you take the same wind dong rain, so cave aware."

"Ga need a lot of a-le-san," this time Tara leaned her body into Vanka's cubicle grid and folded her hands together on her chest. "That's alesan you're now giggling at your cell phone at mealtimes?"

"Yes!!!" exclaim Vanka without further ado. Her face was beaming and Tara had never seen her draw it. When he announced he was officially in contact with Berryl, not like this expression he showed.

"Then?" Tara is waiting for the story to go on.

Vanka turned to the timepiece on her monitor screen, 30 minutes away they entered at lunchtime. He decided to just pull it out. The cell phone, standing up and pulling Tara's hand, "ga here yes discussion, beb."

They quickly headed for the elevator and darted to the highest floor in their office. Stepping wide up the stairs and knocking down the door. The heat is stopping them. No matter how strong the wind above the Rooftop, the scorching sun on the way to the crown of mankind is like a trader in the market who peddles his wares, spirit.

Vanka pulled Tara's hand until she found a place that could shade them from the bright smile of the sun. Vanka took out her cigarette automatically, and so did Tara. It was rather difficult for them to resist the cruel wind to ignite their respective lighters. It was as if they were both participants in a dime race at the Augustan 17th celebration.

"Huhhhhh..." Tara exhaled a puff of smoke after successfully livening up her cigarette. Vanka followed shortly after. "Gua won!"

"Gosh, dear. Very happy with us, hahhaaha," said Vanka.

"Well, who chose his place strategically anyway," Tara threw a smile and rolled her eyes.

"Yes, it's not possible that we swipe the employee's card before the break time," Vanka bit his cigarette and both hands worked to tie his long hair.

"Ok, I'm ready," Tara prepares her ear for Vanka's story.

"In essence, cave relations have lately begun to be tasteless with Berryl. We know, the longer this relationship only looks to satisfy each other's desires, until finally his office sends him to the Netherlands," Vanka inhaled his cigarette and let out his smoke.

"Gua actually supports dong, that means it is also the purpose of his hard work so far. Let him work at the headquarters located in the Netherlands. Tau cave, how hard he's trying his best to got there. We also understand, our feelings have faded a long time ago. Finally split the cave between him to the airport 3 weeks ago."

"Keep, this William came after you broke up?" ask Tara. Berryl and Vanka are the most stable relationships between their many friendship circles.

"Nope, before breaking up. The cave told him. Who like Lo tau cave and Berryl are still playing the application, sometimes just to comment on silly photos or search the network of cooperation he. But if there's more, the cave doesn't know how Berryl, which is clear the cave says if the cave acquaintance with William to Berryl and he's said he's ok."

Tara nodded in amazement at how transparent Vanka and Berryl were. Either because it was from the beginning they had arranged the deal or indeed because they felt they had both evaporated like dew which was greeted by the sun at seven in the morning.

"The cave is related quite intensely the same, William the last two weeks, the beginning of the fit is still with Berryl he still comes-and-go as he pleases. Every cave update no matter what ever she Miss to see, sometimes cave playlist song Raisa After Here, she thought cave did not want to contact her again and she said it was sensitive. Though the cave likes the video clip illustration in the update," Vanka giggled while looking at his shoes.

"Even semalem, he went to the cave to meet his kentel sohib and even met elo. and then invited to his parents' house," added Vanka. "In Karawang, shadow beb, butt of the cave tepos sampe there."

"Keep, what made you do this?" Tara looked at Vanka from head to toe. There was no drastic change in his body except that his smile would be wider than his usual smile.

"She wanted to be a woman with taste, the cave could even feel the different vibrations she sent, Tar. Everything is different from what the cave has been in the former caves before. I feel alive when I found myself around him."

"The cave is happy with the horror, Van," Tara smiled sincerely. Regardless of what she herself feels but the emotions that Vanka exudes are contagious to her. "Follow, the William. Wait, he's the same title Genta means... brondong?"

"Your welcome, sist," their laughter scattered in the wind and wishful thinking on the rooftop.

***

Fifteen minutes later, Sofia sat in her toilet seat, as if she was patched up and became part of the toilet. For the past two weeks he has been suspicious about what he is going through with his body.

When it was decided to check the strangeness he felt, his mixed feelings were inexplicable. Is he happy? Is he angry? Is he worried? Is he afraid? Refused head with both hands resting on his feet. His soul was sliced, his heart was crying but not a single tear flowed out.
