What a Beautiful Divorce
32. Orangutan

The man who had just arrived sat down. His right hand wearing an expensive watch was deliberately placed on the table and the glass section was pointed at Prapto. Prapto who had been upset immediately twisted his brain.

Pinaka nodded. "Yes, Roy" he answered.

"I just got home from France, Pinaka, so I didn't know you were stepping down" Roy said proudly.

Pinaka nodded back. He then glanced at Prapto. Pinaka wanted to see what Prapto's response was to be ignored by Roy.

Roy waved his hand when he saw a female waitress. "Mr ..."

Roy's words stopped because Prapto called him, "Mas Roy!"

Roy. He frowned because Prapto pointed at his head.

"That's ... In Mas Roy's hair just now there's tai lizard falling four seeds."

Roy raised his hand to check, but Prapto immediately said again, "Don't, Mas Roy! Later your hands hit the lizard, four seeds anyway. In the bathroom only. In the bathroom there's a mirror, so you can look at the lizard in the mirror and get rid of it properly. You can also wash your hands after you hold the lizard tai."

Without looking at Prapto and Pinaka, Roy rushed to the bathroom with a shy face.

"Seriously, Mas, there's a tai lizard falling on Roy's head, and four seeds anyway?" tanya Pinaka was curious.

Prapto laughs. "No, Pinaka. I hate to see it, so, I work. Come on, let's go home" Prapto said.

Pinaka laughs. He nodded then stepped behind Prapto. As they arrive at the checkout, Pinaka asks, "Mas Prapto forgot to bring his wallet again?"

"I forgot it doesn't matter, Pinaka. 'And Mother was tucking in the money, '" answered Prapto smiling as he patted her jacket pocket.

Shortly after Prapto and Pinaka left, Roy returned to the table where they had been sitting. Wry face. He did not find a single tai lizard in his hair. "Damn it, I was cheated twice!" he said when he saw Prapto and Pinaka were no longer there.

"He has had a long crush on me, Mas," Pinaka said in a loud voice, so that his voice could be heard by Prapto amid the roar of the wind and the sound of vehicles.

Prapto did not answer. He focused on cutting a truck. Then he said, "That Roy?"

"Yes, Mas. He's had a crush on me ever since I first got into work at the Flying Horse Corporation. I've given you a sign a few times that I rejected it, but Roy doesn't understand that either."

"If you refuse, you must reject it firmly, Pinaka. If only given a sign of rejection, he will not understand, instead he will think that you also have a crush on him. But I don't think you don't know about that, Pinaka. You want your love to be chased by men and you're proud of it" Prapto said without shading.

Pinaka's face flushed. He said, "Yes ..." He found no words to speak.

"Yes what?" prpato asked laughing.

"Don't know, Mas," Pinaka answered briefly.

"You're sweet, Pinaka, and you're smart, too. But, if you're proud of being chased by men for your love, or if you want to be praised by men, it makes your sweetness much less," Prapto said, "because it's a sign that you're not a loyal woman. Don't do that again, yeah. That's not cool. That's not the nature of a real woman."

Pinaka was stunned.Prapto's words were again without a shady aling-aling has made him upset and embarrassed. "Mas, why are you talking so frankly? 'Can be a little disguised you mean, so that those who hear it are not upset."

"Yes, Mas" said Pinaka. He suddenly became sad. "Means I'm not sweet now in Mas Prapto's eyes and Mas Prapto doesn't like me?"

"What, Pinaka? Your voice just wasn't clear because of the sound of the car."

Pinaka quickly covered his mouth with his hands. Face blushed. "So I asked, Mom. Will it rain again? The sky is dark, my. Maybe we should buy a plastic raincoat first."

"Oohs. It won't rain before nightfall, Pinaka. Nimo said, if the sky is dark but the air is not cold, it means that it is still raining."

"Mas, why did Mas Prapto and Om Rohan think that Silvi played a role in the failure of cooperation between Kejora village and Pak Gumiro company?" ask Pinaka.

"Silvi doesn't seem to accept it because I'm divorced, Pinaka. Then after she married Tristan, she asked her husband to come up with a plan to stifle my economic growth. And I'm sure that's why Tristan asked you to be a fake food researcher and rejected my crops, because of Silvi's request."

Pinaka surprise. "So, Mas Pratpo duda?" tanyakanya.

Prapto laughs. He said, "Yes, Pinaka. Wh why? You don't want to marry a widower?"

"What the fuck, why did it go there, Mom!" sahut Pinaka then pinched Prpato's arm.

"But, Mas," Pinaka continued, "it may not be because Silvi is mad at you."

"Then?"

"Silvi can do that because she loves Mas Prapto. Because Silvi did not want Mas Prapto to marry another woman. He thought if Mas's economic rate was low, then no woman would want to marry Mas. For Silvi, if she cannot remarry Mas Prapto, then no other woman should marry you" Pinaka said seriously.

"As in the soap opera alone, Pinaka," said Prapto laughing. "But your words make sense too."

"And in the end, Runai deployed his flagship style," said Pak Kuncoro. The old man then took out a wooden sword which he sold. The wooden sword was then lifted Pak Kuncoro over his shoulder. His arm that held the sword he pulled.

"The Black Sky Disaster!" exclaim Mr. Kuncoro. The wooden sword was then slashed by Pak Kuncoro quickly.

"His powerful friend cannot be evasive" continued Pak Kuncoro, "the sword of Runai was so fast that it was difficult to follow by the eyes. His opponent collapsed after fending off several times. After the bad guy died, Runai married Anggini and the region became calm and serene again.

Kuncoro sir finished his story. He then waved to the Kejora village children. "When we meet again, little boy!"

"Until we meet again, Kek Kuncoro," the children replied in unison as they waved their hands.

Prapto and Pinaka arrive at Kejora village in the afternoon. After taking Pinaka to the library, Prapto invited Nimo to go home to join dinner.

"Nimo, this is Mr. Gumiro sending a short message. He said his loan could be taken. Then ...."

Prapto's words came to a halt, because in front of the terrace where they were smoking and coffee, now stood someone among the raindrops holding an umbrella.
