THE MYSTERY of Alas Hamlet
#7
This morning, Tania and Riswanto's schedule is cooking. Early in the morning, the two of them were already in the kitchen and planning to cook some chicken fried rice for breakfast. Yesterday, they bought the ingredients. There was also a gift from Bu Kades.
“Tan, your relationship is the same, who is it? Nathan huh? How the hell is it?” ask Riswanto while peeling an onion.
“Regular aja. I am still with Nathan,” replied Tania sober while washing chili you want to mashed for seasoning.
“Oh, gitu.” Riswanto. He looked somewhat doubtful, like there was something else to say.
“Why the hell, Ris? Tumben, you nanyain this?”
“Nothing. Follow twilight, finally you find a guy like Nathan after the incident,” said Riswanto who then realized something was wrong. “Eh, sorry, Tan! I don't mean to make ngingetin lo again.” Riswanto immediately apologized to Tania.
“Nothing really, Ris. I also missed that incident. I try to open my heart to others. Especially Nathan. After all, Adit's sister also gave me the green light. He said, Nathan is a good guy,” said Tania who even became ventured to Riswanto.
“Gue saw that too, Tan. He's a cop, huh? He seems to be very serious about you. But how come you guys are still winning anyway? He hasn't shot lo?” ask Riswanto.
“Not yet. Let it be, don't be careless too,” replied Tania with a crybaby.
“Any deh lo. Usually, girls don't like to be hanged. Eh lo instead do not want to be serious,” ledek Riswanto and Tania just blushed embarrassed.
Tania and Riswanto have been friends since childhood because of Riswanto's close neighbors.
Tania had a bad experience a few years ago with one of her friends, Beno. At that time, Tania was still sitting on the High School bench and Beno was 3 years older than them.
In the past, they often played together, often hanging out together at stalls near patrol posts around the house. Tania still clearly remembers the incident when she and Beno wanted to buy Javanese noodles near the plantation. But, in the middle of a lonely journey, Beno suddenly smothers Tania's mouth, and, then he pulled Tania into a hut and she almost committed an indecent act against Tania if only Riswanto and Zufar had not come.
I don't know what would happen to Tania if only Riswanto and Zufar did not come on time and immediately beat Beno to a pulp. And ever since that incident, Tania has been traumatized. He became a very private person. He also often locked himself in his room. Never again hang out with friends around his house. In fact, Tania's attitude became very cold to the foreign men who wanted to approach her. It took Tania a long time to heal that trauma.
No one knew about the incident, except for Riswanto, Zufar, his family, and also the Beno family. Beno's family pleads with Tania's family not to bring the matter to the legal track. Mr. Tama, Papa Tania, agreed, but he made conditions for the Beno family. They had to move and go all the way from the Tania family environment. Since then, Tania has never seen Beno again.
“Wah, it looks good, Tan,” said Riswanto when the chicken fried rice was cooked. The pleasant aroma was immediately smelled by their noses. Making worms in the stomach squirm.
“Iya. So laper yes, Ris,” reply Tania while staring at their dishes that have been served on the dining table.
The plates and spoons were also prepared. So, the other friends just take this fried chicken rice as they like.
“Yes, I call the kids first. After this, I want to continue proker,” said Riswanto with enthusiasm. “Eh, Tan, you want to come with me, see the creation of village boundaries?” ask Riswanto before stepping.
Tania did not answer. He thought for a moment and was a little confused. He felt it would be unethical for him not to be directly involved in the construction of the village barrier. At least he should see things there.
“OK, man! Anyway, my work today wasn't much. Finished activities later, I followed to there.”
“OK, Tan.” Riswanto then immediately called the other friends.
As they begin to eat breakfast together, they are suddenly struck by the presence of a tall, sturdy man who looks mysterious with a backpack on his shoulder.
The man wore black pants, a black leather jacket, white sneakers, a black mask and sunglasses.
The man was escorted by Mr. Karno to the front of this house only, and after that, Mr. Karno was seen saying goodbye and left.
Everyone was curious and wondered about the mysterious man because they did not feel they would get any additional members.
The man then knocked on the door and Riswanto immediately moved towards the door. “Who to look for?” ask Riswanto.
However, when the man was already standing at the door, Tania was immediately able to recognize him easily. He put down his plate and immediately approached. “Nathan!” call him with sparkling eyes.
That, then make other friends come along to make sure.
Nathan then opens his mask and smiles at Tania. “Hai,” sweep.
Ebot also approached. He immediately looks excited himself. “Woy, Bro! Finally nyampe you too!” screech with excitement while punching Nathan's arm.
“How did you get here?” asked Tania in surprise.
“Etdah, pake asked again! Yes miss, Tan, same you!” sahut Ebot with grigetan saw Tania who sometimes suddenly oneng.
Ebot then immediately took Nathan in. Nathan greets all of Tania's friends in the living room kindly, while Tania herself is still stunned to see Nathan's sudden arrival.
“Tan, bengong!” Tiwy patted his arm, then pulled him to sit next to her. Meanwhile, Nathan sat across from Tania.
“Holiday, Nath?” ask Riswanto.
“Iya, get 3 days off. So, a fad come here deh,” he replied casually.
“What's kangen?” ledek Aisha.
“Both can too, Shah,” replied Nathan while glancing at Tania.
“Cieee... Eneng also kwangen, Bwang! Every day day mingle Abwang teyus!” ebot continued with his laughter that immediately exploded, followed by the laughter of other friends. Ebot always can't help but tease Tania while with Nathan.
Tania thoughtlessly pinched Ebot's waist hard until Ebot groaned in pain. “Admute! pain, Tan!”
“Racaine!” Tania doesn't care.
