Ajeng's steps so steadily down the village streets that had been covered by asphalt, he hummed softly while killing time.
“Where to Jeng?”
“Home Dika.”
“Be careful, soon nyampe.”
“Still.”
“Sama-sama.”
As usual, the people who passed by him would ask for his purpose and give directions for his easy walking. But, he has lived 25 years with conditions like this, although sometimes adjustments he had to do, but he was very familiar about this village.
Ajeng counts each step towards a place, at what step he turns, and at what step he must be careful. The Mbok who taught him from childhood, led him to be able to walk even without seeing though.
The sound of the river water rustling was heard even from a distance though, it meant that he was close to Dika's house, the girl walked a few steps until she arrived in front of her house and knocked on the door.
“AJENG!” call someone a little run over to Ajeng, the girl smilingly turned her back to the source of the voice.
“Where Did Dik?”
“Oh, this discharged grow.”
“Self?”
“Yes, Madam Sari again takes care of her sick mother. What's Jeng here?”
“Oh Ajeng just want to play kok.”
“Udah said the same Si Mbok?”
A little hesitant Ajeng nodded his head, “Don't lie Jeng, Si Mbok won't give you permission here.”
“Ma-Sorry Dik.”
“Apardon him not to me, but to Si Mbok.”
“Ka-if so Ajeng said go home first.”
“Do not!” prevent Dika.
“Why?” tanya Ajeng was confused.
“Mumpung again here, try first the results of my fruit cultivation.”
Ajeng nodded, he could only follow Dika leading him somewhere.
Dika seemed to pick some fruit from the tree, ranging from apples, oranges and grapes he picked to be eaten by Ajeng, “Nih, Jeng cobain.”
The girl nodded accepting a piece of Wine and put it in her mouth, “How does it taste?”
“Asem, seger, sweet it.” Dika laughed a little at Ajeng's face which looked surprised by the taste of the vine from his garden.
“Now Orange Jeng, let me peel.” Ajeng could only nod letting Dika do his job.
“When are you here Dik?” ask Ajeng while chewing food.
A breath that is so heavy heard from the left side, Ajeng turned to Dika, “Kilang tau Jeng, already comfortable here, so to Jakarta males.”
Just a nod that the gift gave in response, he could not expect much to Dika, however they already had their respective partners.
“Nih, Cobain, Open his mouth!”
Ajeng opened his mouth, felt the chewy object had entered the mouth, the girl chewed slowly and enjoyed the taste and texture, the distinctive aroma of orange out making more sensation.
“Where?”
“Manic, seger!”
“Suitable to eat at this time?”
Ajeng nodded, “You again?” Dika returned to feed Ajeng until the round fruit with orange-colored flesh was exhausted.
“Dah out Jeng, later I bring you fruits, nitip also make Mbok.”
“Thank You, sorry if Ajeng ngerepotin.”
“Ngerepotin what the hell Jeng, 'will it already be my job.”
Silence struck again, Dika looked at the adorable-looking face of Ajeng while chewing on the green apple, her mouth filled with filled cheeks, and her eyes filled, her lips pursed making a smile on Dika's face rise that very second.
“You're seriously married to Pandji?”
Hearing Dika's question, Ajeng was choked by the unfinished Apple he chewed. Panicked Dika hit the back of Ajeng's back and told the girl to spit out the apples she had eaten.
“Pelan-pelan Jeng.”
“I-iya.”
“Sorry if I was presumptuous to ask that.”
“No, you are not a stranger in my life. About my marriage with Mas Pandji, If God wants to unite us then any way will definitely happen is not it?”
“I hope it's not those words that come out of your mouth Jeng.”
“What?” tanya Ajeng was confused.
“I hope you marry Pandji because you know I already have a fiancee, I seem to expect more right?”
The girl silenced her mouth, it was also one of the factors that made her mindlessly accept Pandji's invitation to get married.
“Pandji often hurts you Jeng, he is also just unemployed whose work is raging. I'm afraid you're disappointed to marry him, Jeng. I want you to be happy with someone who can really take care of you and protect you.”
“Why are you worried about Ajeng, Dik? Well, maybe you know Pandji mas like that, but I know more about Mas Pandji, I know Mas Pandji.”
“It looks like you have really fallen in love with Jeng and Pandji.”
“Mas Pandji may often behave or say rudely with Ajeng, mas Pandji kayak that just because he can not express his feelings with Ajeng, Dik!” ajeng's emotions peaked, he was not out of thought with Dika's mind path.
“I just say what is in my mind Jeng, you do not need to be angry like that.”
“You however Mas Pandji Ajeng's future husband! And Ajeng can not be seen Mas Pandji in ugly as if Mas Pandji is not suitable for Ajeng!”
“The reality is so Jeng, you are too special, Pandji kayaks are not suitable for you!” Dika also does not want to lose to take out his teeth.
“Terus who is suitable for Ajeng? Ye? No way, right, Dik? You have a fiance!”
Dika screeching, staring in disbelief at the girl in front of him, “This is not about me already have a fiance or not yet Jeng, anyway we can not be together.”
“What do you mean Dika?”
“We will not be able to be together let alone to establish a relationship. Our relationship is only limited to friendship Jeng, no more.”
“K-why Dik?” lirih Ajeng with a trembling voice.
“When I was born I can choose, I do not want to be born with the last name Bratajaya Jeng.”
Hearing the surname Bratajaya makes Ajeng remember his Si Mbok who hates Dika a lot, “There is a problem what Si Mbok with the Bratajaya family?”
Dika exhaled, “My parents who made both of your parents go away you Jeng, ninggalin baby girl who was born blind, baby girl who was born prematurely, baby girl born prematurely, baby girl born in the middle of economic crush.”
The cry of Ajeng that very second, his shadow of the voice and the face of his parents flashed through his mind, about a longing he could not express.
“Dik, do you know where my parents are?”
Clenching his lips tightly, the man was speechless unable to give a real answer, “Dika?!” the cry of the Ajeng demands clarity.
“What do you want to know from them, Jeng?”
“Where are they?” tanya Ajeng was desperate.
“You want to meet them? Want to find them? They never cared about you Jeng!”
“I deserve to know Dik, you are my only hope. I beg.”
Ajeng gripped Dika's hand tightly, while the man looked down helplessly at the face of the girl before him.
“The day after you were born, a woman came while carrying a baby who was one month old, she was your father's girlfriend Jeng, your father preferred life and lived happily with his girlfriend and illegitimate child.”
“Where's mom?”
“Your mother was hit, she felt unable and determined to make money for your eye surgery, he chose to work in Singapore so TKW and until this moment no one knows exactly where he lives.”
Silent, the girl smiled as she looked straight ahead, there was relief in her heart, there was a prayer present in her mind, expectations about his parents who live happily with his choices even though they must be far from his grasp.
“Sorry Jeng.”
“Nggak Dik, Ajeng just want to say thank you, thank you for telling Ajeng.”
“So now you want how Jeng is? Starry them?”
The girl shook her head and smiled, “If they are happy for what Ajeng disturbs Dik? Besides Ajeng do not want to take care of them, even if Ajeng nyari Si Mbok not necessarily give permission.”
Dika nodded, the man stared softly at Ajeng, the woman was strong, even from all sides. Shamed, ashamed of Ajeng, the woman can remain strong even though her parents live happily without her.
What about Dika? From a small attention and affection did not escape in the day, how soft touch and advice that is always thrown by both parents is a dye in his life.
Ajeng colored his life with his attitude and nature, being a strong person despite thousands of people looking down on his flaws.
“Sorry I Jeng,” Og Dika.
The roar of the vehicle car was heard stopping the engine not far from the position of the two of them, before long the sound of knocking shoes combined with the loudness of the cement castings with a quick step.
“DIKA!!”
As the perfume that is so alluring but has a soothing aroma scattered to the smell of Ajeng, the girl was amazed for a while, this looks like Arum's expensive perfume that was made as bright as the proposal given by Vishnu, said Arum is an expensive perfume with a famous brand.
“Lu why here?”
“Ngapain? Yes meet you. I have to go back to Jakarta, why not go back to Jakarta? Said once a week you'd like to come back?”
A heavy breath sounded from Dika's mouth, the man fell silent then looked at Ajeng, “Your affair? Beautiful too.”
“Apaan si Ken, know him this Ajeng.”
“Gw thought your affair,” The woman named Niken looked at Ajeng fixedly making Dika cleared his throat quite hard.
“Oh yes Sorry, gw Niken, her fiance Dika. Lu Ajeng, right? His childhood was Dika?” said Niken thrusting his hand, Ajeng smiled.
Niken held his hand a long time sore, seeing that Dika immediately grabbed Ajeng's hand and linked the hands of the two women in front of him.
“S-i Ajeng, t-temen her Dika.”
“If you really have an affair Dika, I panic first there.”
He laughed a little, just awkward. Believe me in his mind there is a feeling of dislike with the woman he was talking to.
“Gw no cheating Ken.”
“Partially also since when did I become possessive? I'm just kidding, Dik, don't take it seriously mulu, you 'kan like it so.”
“So, what do you want here?” ask Dika to the point.
“Yes met you, all of you check up kan—” Niken's talk was interrupted with Dika who smothered the woman's mouth.
“Check up? You sick Dik?”
Dika shook her head and released her hand from Niken's mouth, while the woman stared in annoyance at Dika.
“Just check your health, the most loved vitamins yes Ken?”
Getting a sharp gaze from Dika made Niken tergugu nod, “Ken?”
“What 'w I've been nagging!” pissed Niken.
“M-sorry Ajeng can't see.”
“Sorry Jeng, I don't know. About vitamins yes, it just so happens to know for yourself about the person like how. So he should take vitamins so that his health is maintained.”
“You doctor?”
“Iya, specialist doctor.”
“What specialist?”
“Specialist oiler—”
Niken's words stopped along with Dika again smothering his mouth, before long the sound of screams from Dika's mouth was heard to make Ajeng amazed, “When you don't papa?” tanyanya's worried.
Both Niken and Dika look at each other sharply staring at each other, “I do not papa kok Jeng, I was the same Niken just joking.”
“Iya, Jeng. We're kidding doang.”
Ajeng nodded, he felt uneasy being near Dika and Niken, but his heart also felt reluctant to leave them only two, Ajeng was jealous.
“Oh yes Dik, I was just 'nanya home address you keep meeting guys, I swear the guy is not clear.”
“Not clear how?” ask Dika curious.
“Yes so, give me a spare change that has no benefit. Very disgusted gw.”
“How are you kayaking?”
“Honda PCX motorbike mat, wear a leather jacket, her hair is misty, her skin is black sweet so.”
“OH PANDJI MEAN LU?”
“Sans already, don't use yell all.”
Ajeng moved uneasily upon hearing the name of Pandji - her future husband - mentioned, the girl wet her lips and knitted her fingers.
“Why Jeng?” ask Dika without guilt.
“Ah, no kok.”
“What's the matter?” Niken exchanged glances towards Dika and Ajeng in turn.
“Pandji is her future husband Ajeng.”
Niken's laughter gushed that second as well, while the look on Ajeng's face felt uncomfortable, Dika cleared her throat hard enough to normalize the atmosphere.
“There is something wrong if Mas Pandji is Ajeng's husband?” tanya Ajeng firmly.
Niken speechless, “Ngak kok, just yes your time want the same guy like that Jeng, well he's not pantes for you.”
“I said also what Jeng,” timpal Dika.
“That's none of your business, Mas Pandji has become Ajeng's choice, whatever you want to comment, this is Ajeng's life, thanks.”
The girl stood up, Niken just silently looked at Ajeng while Dika silenced her mouth tightly, it seemed that Ajeng's mood was not good.
“Wait! Turns out you can't be joked with, huh?”
“The joke has a place and time, not everyone has the same sense of humor. Maybe you are happy but not necessarily your interlocutor feels the same way, excuse me.”
Ajeng got up and went away, leaving the lovers under the shade of the mango tree.
“She's the girl you mean, right Dik?”
“Iya.”
“Lu still have the same taste of him? Want to see when you fight for him?”
“My mistake was with him a lot of Ken, fatal. I just want to find a way so he can see again already that's it.”
“If you diem here just how do you want to find an eye donor for him?”
“Technology is advanced.”
“Gw not bego Dik, I know. The donor eye is not as easy as you who shadow, even through the black market I am sure it is not that easy.”
“Then I use my eyes, finish?”
Niken laughed in disbelief looking at the man in front of him, “Lu want to give up so Dik?”
“Hope I make life no more Ken, do not talk about things that are just entertainers gw for a moment.”
“Continue? Then you want to leave everything, Dik?! Ninggalin ortu you? Ninggalin? Dik, I've known you for a long time, please I'm sure you are strong.”
Dika shook his head, the man wiped the tears that fell on Niken's cheek with a sweep of his thumb, he smiled.
“Gw already said 'kan Ken, if you can not fall in love too deeply with the man who is in fact this disease.”
Niken stared intently at Dika's eyes, “If you've thought up to that direction how you want to heal Dik! Don't be selfish! You're the only hope of family!”
“Gw know Ken.”
“Certain why Dik?! Wh why? Gw dear to you, I beg you, please we fight together yes Dika, I'm sure you can.”
Dika gently rubbed the mane of Niken's hair that comforts herself in her arms, “Ken, find a new life partner. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I can't be a good priest for you.”
Niken's cry broke again, the girl was crying, even clear water had soaked Dika's clothes, while the man was silent trying to hold back his tears so as not to fall, however he should not be weak, but his guilt towards Ajeng exploded that second as well.
“We used to dream of Dika, happy life has many children while enjoying old age, I hope you do not renege on our promise.”
“Gw may not deny Ken, but whose name is soul mate, death or sustenance no one knows.”
Someone who had eavesdropped could not believe what he had heard, a few steps back, then ran as hard as he could away, “When not go that fast!”
