THE LIFE OF A MAN
PART 45'S
Happy reading .....
“I actually have another appointment after this”
“With your lover?”
“Bukan”
“Or maybe ..”
“.........”
“Your husband?”
The girl's eyes slightly widened and looked at the Son.
But then the girl smiled broadly. “You sound like you're interrogating me Putra”
“That's just your feeling. I'm just asking. I don't want to be seen as a male – bully wife person”
“Ehem!” Danny interrupted. “I’ll go get car. You guys wait here (I'll take the car. You guys wait here )” he says again, and Anthony asks to come with Danny to the car.
The Son and the Girl nodded.
******
“So?” One word of the question came from the mouth of the Son when he and the Girl were alone in front of the small restaurant where they had lunch together earlier. The girl immediately looked up when she heard the voice of the Son who seemed to be throwing questions at her.
“What's it, which So?”
“You already have a lover, or are you married?”
“Why are you so curious about my personal life?” The girl asked back. And the Son spontaneously clucked because of it.
“Do not ask before you answer me” Sahut Putra flat. The girl twined her lips.
“.....”
“You already have a lover, or are you married?”
The son repeated his question. The girl sighed.
“No two – duanya”
“Really?”
“Good then”
“Good?”
Girl frowning.
“What's good?”
Son berdehem. “Not what – apa”
Mangosteen girl – mangosteen.
“By the way – said, Mr Danny took his car tumben a bit long anyway?. Is it possible that your car has a problem?”
**
Meanwhile....
In the car that Danny was driving and still in the parking lot of the Hospital.
Danny was already sitting behind the wheel and Anthony was sitting in the passenger seat next to him.
But Danny did not immediately start his car.
“Un – cle .... (Pa – man ) ....” Anthony called and turned to Danny.
“Yes, Anth?. (Yes, Anth? )”
“I – s the car is broke down?. (What – has the car broken? )”
“No. Our car is fine. (No. Our car is good – alright? )” Danny replied to Anthony while turning to the boy.
“Th – en why you are not make this car moving?. ( La - lu why didn't Uncle run his car?)” Ask Anthony again.
“Eennggggg ...”
Danny rubbed his neck, looking a little confused.
Then Danny wet his lips. “Look Anth, do you like Girl right?. (So, Anth, you like girls, don't you? )”
“Y – es I am. (I – yes I like it )”
“So, what about if Girl and Papa Putra get closed?. (So, what if the Girl and the Papa Son become close? )”
“........”
“Do you mind?. (Do you mind? )”
“D – o you mean like falling in love?. (Mak – sud Uncle is like in love? )”
“Hahaha..” Danny spontaneously chuckled, as well as anxious on Anthony to not be able to pinch his cheek.
“I –s it like that (Is it like that )Uncle Danny? ..”
“Heeeemm kind...... (It can be said like that )..”
Danny's still chuckling.
Anthony immediately smiled.
“Do you want Papa Putra and Girl falling in love each other?. (Do you want Papa Putra and Girl to fall in love with each other? )”
Anthony nodded enthusiastically. Danny chuckled again. “Good. (Good )” Said Danny later. “That’s why we just stay here for a little bit more. (That's why we need to be here first soon )”
“O – Kay Uncle Danny!.”
“Nice. (Good )” Danny raised his thumb on Anthony.
And Anthony followed along and lifted his thumb at Danny.
‘I wonder, how can I act like a match maker now .. (I wonder why I'm acting like a matchmaker .. )’
Danny satin, tickled himself.
***
Back to the two people who were deliberately left alone for a moment
“By the way – says, Mr Danny took his car down a little while? Is it possible that your car has a problem? ”
“Hemmm.”
The Girl's greeting finally made the Son throw his gaze towards the Hospital where the Girl worked.
“Then let me catch up with them”
“.......”
“You wait here briefly”
The son was about to walk after Danny and Anthony to the Hospital parking lot.
A touch on the Son's arm, made him pause his steps for a moment.
“Putra ..”
“Ya?”
“You, Anthony and Mr. Danny please just go home”
“I told you I'd take you home” Sahut Putra.
“Iya, but I told you earlier that I have an appointment with a friend” Say Girl again.
“Then we deliver to where your friends are”
The girl's forehead immediately wrinkled. ‘Aduh, Anthony's papa..’ Girl satin grunts. “Ta ..”
“Rejecting one's goodwill is impolite, do you know?” Putra Speak.
The girl went wrong. “Iya .. but....”.
“And I'm not used to rejection”
The girl grimaced a little, fearfully – was afraid to look at the Son who seemed to be intimidating him through the gaze of the sharp net man in front of him.
Here the tone of the voice of the Son is flat, but implies firmness.
“Ah, that's them!..” Said the Son when the car Danny was driving was then seen. “Mari” Putra invites Girl to get in the car and sit in the rear passenger seat, when the car is driven Danny
stop right in front of the Son and Girl.
**
The girl sat in the back passenger seat with Anthony who had asked to move in since the girl got into their car. Son just let Anthony chat with the girl behind him.
While Danny focuses on driving, with the Girl's direction dividing his attention from Anthony to show him the way. Son himself sometimes – sometimes steal the view from the front view to see the nurse who seems fun chatting with Anthony.
“Ehem” Son cleared up. “Gadis”
“Ya?” Sahut Girl.
“Me and Anthony, our family to be exact. Will return to our actual residence next week”
The son slightly tilted his body and looked at the Girl.
“So you will return to your home country?” Ask Girl.
“Bukan”
Son refutes.
“We already have permission to settle in the country in a fairly long period”
“Oh, that means you don't live in this city?”
“Iya” Reply Son. “Our actual residence, from the first time we came to this country, a little far from this city”
Mangosteen girl – mangosteen. “Where? If I could know?” Ask the girl again.
“Bandung” Reply Son.
“Humm ..”
The girl looked at Anthony.
“So... we will not meet, again?. (So .. So we won't meet again? ) yes Anthony?”
Anthony's face turned slightly grim as the Girl spoke while cupping her face.
“Not going to see you again”
“..........”
“Just not as often as this time.”
“Oh yes, I remember you guys want to go back to your country”
The girl replied with a smile and then again cupped Anthony's face.
“I’m sorry.... (I'm sorry )” Say Girl.
Then for a moment the girl seemed to think.
“Eemm...... errat – rectify it what English is it?”
“Rectify”
“So, how should I tell Anthony?”
“You can say, I rectify my words, Anth. I didn’t mean to say that we won’t ever meet again, but only unexpected moment to meet. (I read –, I said, Anth. I don't mean to say that we won't see each other again, just maybe don't see each other often )”
The Son set an example to the Girl what he could have said to Anthony. But the girl even showed a funny face in the view of the Son. “One-length. It feels like my tongue is hard to repeat it”
Son and Danny spontaneously chuckled.
Girl seems to be thawing. “Yes, yes please just laugh at me whose English is very minimal this”
“It turns out you are sensitive too huh?” Speak of the Son who has stopped his chastity.
“Hahahaha”
The girl laughed.
“You guys are – strangers, why always serious anyway?”
The girl relaxed her demeanour, yet she still chuckled a little.
“You mean?” Ask the slightly less understanding son.
“Hem! Yes, from some Europeans I know...”.
“..........”
“Eh, you guys are from Europe right?”
Son nodded.
“Me, Anth, and my other family, yes. Danny from America”
“Hummm”
“Forward your previous speech. What do you mean we Europeans are always serious?”
“Yes like that, for example. You guys take guyonan” seriously Obviously Girls. The son raised one eyebrow.
“Guyonan? ...”
“Guyonan is a joke that means”
Putra was directly mangosteen – mangosteen.
“Te – ach me, your language Girl... (A – pass me, your language Girl ) ..”
“Really?... ( Really? ) You want to speak the language? (You want to speak Indonesian? ). Ah, learn, I mean (learn, I mean )”
Anthony nodded immediately.
The girl smiled widely too. “OK!”
“Tha – nk you Girl ....”
“You welcome Anthony.”
‘I wish that I can have that hug too. (I hope if I get that hug too )’
The son was inward, feeling a little envious of Anthony, when the Girl hugged Anthony. Son steal - steal hope. But the Son's heart warmed to see the interaction of Anthony and Girl.
It seems, indeed, that the girl is sincere to Anthony.
“Do you want to get a hug also Mister Putra....? (Do you want to be embraced also Mr. Putra ....? )”
As if to know what the Son is thinking, Danny just let out his speech while chuckling.
Make the Son swipe at him, even though Danny's tease was spoken in a small voice that might only be heard by the Son.
“Ga – dis ..”
“Ya Anthony?”
The girl turned her head back to Anthony after he pointed the direction again at Danny.
“D – o you like my Papa?.... (A – pa do you like my Papa? )...” Ask Anthony plainly.
“Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk!” Papa Putra was choking even though he was not drinking at the moment. While the girl looks clumsy in her place.
“D – o you ....? (Su – ka no....? )” Back Anthony asks. “Pa – pa Putra is handsome right? (Pa – pa Handsome son isn't it? )” Ask Anthony again.
“Engg ...”
“You have to answer Anth’s question, Girl.... (You must answer the question Anth, Girl .... )”
The son spoke from his place, but did not look.
“Eennngg ... yes ... ( yes )...” The girl softly and Anthony smiled widely.
“S –o you like my Papa??.... (So you like my Papa??.... )” Said Anthony enthusiastically with his sparkling eyes. "I - am so happy that you like my Papa .... (A - I'm so happy that you like my Papa )...."
“Ehh, openaaan ... his yes intent is not that, Anthonyyy ...”
Girl biting her own lower lip.
'Douh, this handsome boy why that conclusion is what he caught....'
