Under the Black Umbrella

Under the Black Umbrella
Go home


" You're cheating. Why not wake me up?! It was as if going alone did not invite," grumbled Ghavi so know if Risa and Aksan had just gone for a walk to the crater area of the color lake without him.


" Sorry, Vi, I can't wake you up. You looked good from last night's exhaustion. Mas Aksan and Mas Harry are against me anyway."


" Are you, Harry?!"


Ghavi narrowed his eyes to hear Risa follow him calling Harry 'Mas'.


" Hehe .., Mas Harry himself said. We look stiff and formal if I keep calling him Father, but not being campused, he said," he said.


" Oh!"


" Tomorrow we'll go home, won't we, Vi?!"


" So, why?"


" Mom called me again when I was walking. He said that Eyang fell from the bathroom," Risa explained.


" Oh, no. How is he doing now?!" tanya Ghavi looked so worried.


She had just woken up shortly after Risa's return from her streets.


" Said the mother, guessing while her legs sprained and could not walk. He is now in the hospital for further examination and treatment. If you're better, shouldn't we just go home tonight?!"


" all right. I'll ask Om Rudi for permission first. Hopefully allowed. I just feel bad from now on. Yeah, already, yuk! Follow me."


Ghavi invites Risa to meet Om Rudi to say goodbye and explain the events experienced by his eyes.


" But you are sick. Is it okay to travel far?" ask Aunt Rudi who also listened to the story of Ghavi and Risa.


" I'm better, really, Auntie, so it's okay to come home tonight."


" Yes, I did, Om let you go home. But Harry has to take you home, yeah," break up Om Rudi at last.


" No need, Om, fear of trouble" Ghavi said.


" It's okay. I also have to be a campus. Tomorrow I have a teaching schedule. And it just so happens that my car is being used by a friend for a purpose" said Harry who just came out of his room when he heard his father asked him to come and take Ghavi home.


Harry already knew the state of Ghavi because when his mother Risa called, it happened that the three of them were still in the car after the streets.


Eventually Ghavipun's party returned home after dinner.


Om and Aunt Rudi promised to visit Ghavi if the plantation business was finished.


Om and Aunt Rudi drove them to the gate of the house without Handy who took the escort. The man had gone somewhere since noon.


It did not feel that the car that Harry was driving this time drove had gone half the way. Aksan who was sitting beside the steering wheel had to accompany Harry chatting so as not to get sleepy considering the trip was done at night. They drive after dinner. With the condition of a full stomach and night conditions, drowsiness is the most common thing to happen for the risk of accidents.


Risa and Ghavi have fallen asleep in the middle. The two of them had to share a seat as the back seat was full of their luggage and the typical Dieng Plateau souvenirs given by Aunt Rudi.


Ghavi was still asleep when his phone suddenly rang.


Aksan and Harry who were disturbed looked back.


" Vi, your phone sounds, tuh. Pick up first, gih, noisy," Aksan said from the front bench.


" Hm." Ghavi just muttered and then went back.


I don't know how many times Ghavi's phone rang.


Harry who began to be disturbed by the concentration of driving because of the noise was finally told Aksan to wake Ghavi.


Aksan shook Ghavi's legs, which happened to be thrown forward between the steering wheel and the seat where Aksan was sitting.


" Hm, what's wrong, what's so noisy," muttered Risa who felt her sleep was disturbed by a noise.


While those who have mobile phones are still engrossed in dreams.


" Ghaviii, baanguun!" risa's cry was on the ear of the girl sitting asleep beside her.


" Eh, oh, yaa, what's up?" ghavi replied stuttering from his sleep as soon as he heard Risa's screeches in his ears that made him jump in shock.


" Huh, what sleep fainted, anyway. Built from earlier as well. Your phone sounded from earlier, tuh. Important call, kali. Lift up, gih hunted. It's noisy!" Risa.


Ghavi immediately searched for his phone in the slempang bag which he sipped in the head of Aksan's seat.


He saw who called him at night. There is no caller's name.


Only unknown new numbers are calling.


Ghavi hesitantly raised the call after getting a sharp glare from Risa, gesturing to answer her.


" Ha-hallo" said Ghavi.


" What are you doing, I haven't called up since. Huh!" gerutu sipenelpon ketus.


" Eh, sorry, who am I talking to?" asked Ghavi to be polite.


" It's me, where have you been?"


" I'm vain ..," Ghavi hasn't finished his sentence but,


" Handy," the voice from across it was quick.


" Oh, sorry I don't know your number. Where'd you get it?!"


" It doesn't matter. What matters is where you've come to?"


" It's still in Magelang, it's almost in Klaten" Ghavi replied as his eyes wobbled out of the car looking at where they had gone.


" Oh! Yeah, already. Sorry can't deliver, a lot of work."


Click!


" So weirdo" said Ghavi, annoyed when the phone hastily switched off from the other side.


" Who, why?" ask Harry in curiosity.


" Your brother, tuh, Mas. The call was not clear" Ghavi said, pursing his lips in annoyance.


" Oh, ask me where we've been, haven't we?!" guess Harry answered a nod from Ghavi.


" Not to be taken by heart. He does, likes to piss people off. But he himself did not want to be upset.


" It's about half an hour we're home. You better get some more sleep. Look, Risa has also gone back to sleep" pointed Aksan with her chin.


Risa sleeps leaning against the locked car door.


Ghavi decided to go back to sleep by lowering the back of his chair to half lie down until the car Harry was driving arrived at the seat of the house.
