TINI SUKETI
19. Sole Dwellers

A week without Bu Nani and her son, Tini is back. He brought his girlfriend back to sleep. But, this time he was smarter to avoid being colonized.

When the neighbor was at home, Tini turned into a sycophant. All the food stock he took out to visit Dijah to his room.

One morning, when Dijah had just set out to scavenge, Tini slowly opened the door of her room to peek out. Feeling that no neighbors were on the page, he gave a code to Gatot to immediately go out and leave the boarding houses.

“Have your boy come home, Tin?” ask Mak Robin who just came out of her room.

“Cowokku? Where's my guy?” ask Tini.

“What do you think I am deaf (deaf)?” mak Robin said, then sat in a plastic chair.

“New home ride ojek,” says Tini relented. He can no longer squint.

“Where is the train (motor)?” ask Mama Robin. “Temarin I saw kelen boncengan bedua. What is borrow?”

“Not pinjem. That's Mas Gatot's bike. But, yesterday just pulled leasing. Nunggak,” replied Tini.

“How many months?” ask Mama Robin.

“Three months,” reply Tini.

“Ih, dear actually if only a few more installments. How many more months of the motor installment?” ask Mama Robin.

“Sisa 32 months away,” says Tini, lit his cigarette.

“Eeee .. bodat time, bah! Three-year installments, just pay once including the DP? Three months withdrawn?” Mak Robin laughed out loud. “Paok time! Good rental services,” added Mak Robin.

“Seneng, yes, if ngetawain people. Yesterday the time was billed, Mas Gatot only I have money or not. He asked to help pay. He said, later if you are married, the bike will be used together. Me, yeah, emoh. Mending I nyicil motor for Dayat. The motor has often broken down,” said Tini.

“You said that, I'm proud. It didn't turn out to be a peck-peck when you. Thank goodness,” Mak Robin said.

“Tertipu love is common, I'm just a woman who is easy to fall asleep. But if it's about money, I'm afraid it's not a bitch. Because there are my sisters waiting.” Tini lit up a cigarette.

“Iya, great! At least there is a part of your brain that can still be saved,” said Mak Robin. “Yang nquatin the former room of the Nani, from yesterday did not come out like him. The girl's.”

“Sure that she's a girl?” Here asked back.

“Confirm me. He came jumpain I took the key. His name is Asti, still in college.”

“Halah, many college kids are—”

“No—no! Don't let everyone do the same to you. He's a good boy. That's why I noticed him from yesterday why not get out.”

“What might die? Bu Nani's room has a curse?” Tini muttered with her question.

“Back you Tini …. Uh, Tin! Not lonely you Nani moved?” mak Robin Syndicate.

“Your reason, Mom! You're the one who's interested he moved. Your competition does not exist. You should thank me for getting Bu Nani out of here,”.

“Ah, your nozzle is! How did you get Nani out? Obviously Robin said you were crying. Lose you also fight!” Mak Robin laughed out loud.

“Bad brat the Robin! If not for carrying him, I've got them.”

“Kok, my son is also the one you said was brash?” Mak Robin kicked Tini's chair until it shifted.

Tini just giggled amusedly at the sight of Mak Robin nagging in defense of her son.

“Si Colored is also correct. Selooo .. aja. Not much to say. Once he said, the family moved home.” Robin continued his laughter.

“Si Colored it was injured yesterday, why Mak? Tau?” tini asked, shifting her seat back near Mak Robin.

“You ask him. Kan, you often ngasi sajen with him. Find your face the next time I've seen it since it's back,” said Mak Robin.

“I don't dare. Hihihi.” Tini giggles. “Dijah talked a lot about his son. The same thing with Mbok Jum—an old woman who lives in a garbage dump. Like being colonized with Mbok Jum's. His parents hardly ever. His father was colonized with my father, like he was both a heretic. My father worshipped a rooster, his father was colonized worship chessboard.” Tini then laughed out loud.

“Pesong!” maki Mak Robin, she then laughs with Tini.

“Child chicken coop everything becomes, yes ..” said driver ojek.

“Pork cage boy too. Try checking there,” said Tini, walking into the alley to kos-kosan.

The sun had already sagged to the west side, Tini had just returned from the salon with a different hair color. From a distance, Mak Robin squinted to make sure his view. While Sejah, looking at Tini with a casual look. In his hand was clutched a glass of freshly made warm sweet tea.

With high wooden slippers, Tini sauntered elegantly across the boarding yard. Long hair, fluttered with a fiery red color like a tongue of fire. The wings of the angel of Pantura, as if stretched across his back.

“Eh, why is your hair so?” mak Robin asked in amazement. “So noon baek-baek. Now how about gini?”

“Let the devil not recognize,” replied Tini, throwing her body in one of the plastic chairs.

“Labor, Jah?” tini asked Dijah who was sipping tea.

“Malem it's me off. An ordinary day of his guests. Didn't come out yesterday, Mak?” ask Colored to Mak Robin.

“No. All day I saw the door he didn't open.” Mak Robin stared at the door of Bu Nani's former room.

“Whompanning? An asti? Who took the room Bu Nani?” tanya Tini looked at Sejah and Mak Robin alternately.

The judge did not answer. The woman stood up and walked across the courtyard towards the door of the closed room.

“Kok, I got goosebumps, huh? If until really died, these costs must be a lot of police. Actually I'm afraid, but this Colored makes me curious.” Tini threw away her wooden sandals, then went barefoot following Dijah.

“Name Asti, right?” tanya Sejah turned to Tini.

“Iya, Asti.”

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

“Asti! Asti!” Sejah knocked while calling out the name of the new occupant girl of the opposite room.

There is no lawfulness, and Tini repeats what was done by the colonized. Now he is curious.

“Perhaps not dikunc—” Hand Colored has pushed the door of the room open. “Not locked,” muttered Colored, then pushed that door open.

The new resident girl was seen lying face down on a bed covered in a thin mattress. The sheets seemed to be stretched in a hurry.

“Death??” peekik Tini's.

“There is still the sound of his breath,” said Sejah in a flat tone. Tini immediately shut her mouth.

“Asti! Asti!” call Colored, slightly shaking the girl's shoulder. Asti has not reacted.

Tini repeated what was done. This time, he sat on the edge of the bed and brought his face closer to Asti.

“Asti! Wake up!” exciting Tini.

Asti jerked and opened her eyes. “K-you who?” asti's question turned to Tini. In front of him lowered his head a flaming red-haired woman and snickered at him.

“I'm a life-depriving angel,” replied Tini giggled.

He shifted Tini's head that covered Asti's face. Tini's laughter stopped. Seized then touched Asti's forehead with the back of his hand.

“Fever? You fever. Have you eaten?” tanya Sejah's. Haven't heard Asti's answer, Dijah immediately turned to Tini. “Make hot tea, Tin! I'll get some rice. I was cooking a little,” said Dijah then out of Asti's room.

Although a little dislike being ordered, but Tini followed what her neighbors said. He returned to his room and made a large cup of warm sweet tea.
