TINI SUKETI
16. The Beginning of That Story

Maisaroh has returned to his hometown. While Tini, now prefers to enter the karaoke place through the basement. The woman was willing to turn all the way just to pass the table where Gatot Sayuti was.

Gatot's stature is quite high. Because of his height, he looks more prominent than his friends. His face was good for the size of the city. In his village, Tini was sure that Gatot would be the idol of every girl.

Gatot's hair is always shiny and her perfume is always smelled from a few meters away. The hallways through which Gatot always left the scent of perfume seeds that were characteristic of the man.

Ever since Tini's introduction with Gatot, Tini has unceasingly praised the man day and night. Everything Gatot did looked very aesthetic in her eyes.

“The body is indeed good, Mak. Semampai height. If the road is a model. Any clothes look good if Mas Gatot is wearing.” Tini said that with a flash of light in her eyes.

“Masa, anyway?” ask Mak Robin not to believe it. He knew Tini was being romantically struck. Tini has repeated her remarks, dozens of times in the past week

“You for not seeing it directly, Mak. After all, you are old. Your taste, too, is different from mine. Her hair was, you know, neat. I like nice guys. Amused by the guy who messes with his style.” Instantly Tini forgets the appearance of the Chef in his village. The skinny and dapper chef wears rombeng pants with thread hanging here and there.

“I suspect that women are too good to praise this manly cake of yours. Ugly also seems, definitely will not want, you admit it. I was young once too, Tini. What do you think, I was born from under my mama instantly gray?” Mak Robin snorted angrily looking at Tini. However, his interlocutor was unmoved.

“How is the skin color? Skin color?” ask Mama Robin. He insisted on finding Gatot's weakness in Tini's eyes.

“Yes, her skin color is tanned. Male skin color. Don't forget, Mother. Chocolate is sweeter than flour.” Tini giggled and closed her mouth.

“Udah is there apparently you shot?” ask Mama Robin.

“Not yet. Still going. Should I shoot first? But I'm scared, Mak.” Tini looked at Mak Robin with a suddenly agitated look. He actually thought about it too. But the events of the past, undo his intentions.

“Why are you afraid?” ask Robin again. Spending her afternoon serving Tini's words while putting Robin on her lap, comforting Mak Robin a little. Although often upset, at least he is not confused alone.

“There used to be a handsome guy, who lived in the village next door. Good work. The foreman at the factory. I dance from morning till noon, just make him a sugar cane field. But, the answer was instead, 'I'm sorry. I can't be the same girl who is mediocre.’ Damn you!” pissed Tini. His voice was still visibly upset even though the incident he told him about was long gone.

Mak Robin laughed out loud. “Keep what you said?” Mak Robin was curious about Tini's answer.

“Yes, I said, that I am amazing my taste is not him.” Tini then looked down at the cigarette box.

“Ya, gone. Don't shoot him. You wait until you get shot. Later so you also love the same time he,” advice Mak Robin. “Usually, if the girl is shooting, the relationship will not last that long. Because, the guy must judge, love times women equal him.”

“Halah! Who told? The only man who shot me, yes, the Chef who was in the village. Even cheating, now married my deketeers. I also wonder what he saw from Siti Kusmini. Even if the Rat peed, his voice was like a kale number. A house of horrors. There is no elegance to be a woman.” Tini exhaled her cigarette smoke in annoyance.

Robin couldn't help but laugh. “Sok beautiful, you! You're like what it looks like to piss?”

As they were laughing the door of Bu Nani's house then opened. The girl who came out and threw a cynical look at Tini. Not to be outdone this also returned the gaze was no less cynical.

And it was like wanting to start a commotion, Bu Nani's son said, “You're like you're getting stuck again, huh? Wiggling cynics continues,” said the daughter of Bu Nani, who still seems to be vengeful because her mother received fierce resistance from Tini.

“I think I'm a gini face, not because I'm stuck. But I really don't like to see you.” Tini then took a leisurely sip of her cigarette. Bu Nani's son put on his shoes and then walked around leaving the boarding yard.

The thing that Tini had been waiting for for almost three months finally materialized as well. Gatot has asked her to be his girlfriend. Tini's happy not to be a bitch. For three months she was a karaoke guide. Go and go home to work with Gatot Sayuti. Bonding with a friendly like two magnets that are difficult to separate. Where there is Gathoth, there is Tini.

And in the next three months, at the age of Robin who almost stepped four years, Tini began to dare to invite Gatot to visit his boarding houses.

One afternoon, the sky was still covered in dark clouds. The rest of the rainwater is still pooling in some niche boarding pages. Mak Robin's bedroom door was fully open. Tini and Gatot were jokingly sitting on plastic chairs.

A woman entered the boarding yard with a small bag in her hand. The woman steadily headed straight for the room located next to Tini's room.

The woman's forehead looked swollen and the corners of her lips were still reddened by the new wound. Her face was sweet, but expressionless. Her shoulder-length hair was just tied up on the nape.

The woman's nice body, made Gatot's eyes instantly expand. Look at the woman from top to bottom. A man who was looking at him. The woman who was turning the key turned her head and stared intently at Gatot.

For a while the woman looked at Gatot. Tini's not happy. Then ....

“Heh! Why did you see my guy like that? Never seen a handsome guy?” sergeant Tini, immediately clasped his lover's arm.

“What? A handsome? Your eyes!” tell that woman.

Mak Robin laughed out loud from inside the room. He then came out and stuck his head out.

“Hei! Kedan! Your new kid, huh? What's your name?” ask Mama Robin.

“Dijah!” exclaim that woman. Then open the room door and close it with a slam.

Robin laughed again. “Mampus you, Tini! Get a draw, you. Hahaha.” Mak Robin's getting riled up.

Tini stared at the door of the room Colored with an annoyed face.
