GREY MARNI
Salsa and Everything
It's almost Rudi's third payday at the terminal. He worked very excitedly plus it was a Saturday that was famous for its Sunday night tradition. Rudi has made an appointment with Salsa tonight, to a place where Rudi will tell her everything about herself.
Rudi was very curious as to how Salsa would respond to the thing she was about to tell him, could it be that he would be angry or he would be happy because the one he had been serving him a meal and giving him a very big tip was Rudi's father.
A day that will determine whether he will come home with the woman of his dreams after three months abroad or perhaps the worst possibility is that he will come back empty-handed and wait to be married off by one his father's colleague's daughter.
Rudi did not really care, whatever the consequences that he would get he would go home and continue the story written by God and let go of the FTV story that he really wanted to feel.
"Willy! Rud! Dismay?", said Erlang who was sitting behind him in an empty bus.
"Hahaha there's none"
"Think about that woman yesterday?"
"Not anymore, but I was really curious about that woman"
"Hahaha, it's been three weeks that the woman hasn't shown up again"
"Hahaha, yes! If I see you again, I'll go and ask you"
"Hahaha, she's pretty Rud! The oath!"
"Bab!!"
"Haha"
All the passengers got off the bus, Erlang invited Rudi to coffee as usual. Time goes on long enough when we want to receive a salary, sometimes Rudi again daydreams of Salsa's response when he knows the true origin of Rudi.
Not infrequently Erlang immortalized by Rudi's daydreams but Erlang is not a friend who wants to know anything about others, he prefers to be quiet and ignore Rudi.
"Lang, do you have a boyfriend?", asked Rudi suddenly.
"Daughter?"
"Yes, Girlfriend!"
"Daughter huh?"
"Yes, girlfriend! Girlfriend breathing with nose"
"Have it, but he can fly" Erlang replied in a serious pretentious tone.
"Hahahaha, Seriously Lang! Got no?"
"Hahaha, not Rud! not thinking of a boyfriend"
"Hahaha, why?"
"Nothing, just males"
"Ohhh, okay"
"You got any?"
"Hahaha, got! Three, but still not born!"
The two of them chatted coolly about girlfriends and women. Rudi who has never heard the romance story Erlang was made shocked, it turns out Erlang also experienced bad events in his life including a tattoo of a child's face on his hand.
Rudi also tells some of her love stories although Rudi sometimes needs to lie to cover up her origins.
They tell cheerfully and sometimes enter a serious story until it comes time for them to work again.
They continued their story as they walked to the bus base and began to search for passengers.
The two of them did not seem like work, they became increasingly familiar after they exchanged stories. Rudi and Erlang were very enthusiastic looking for and attracting passengers, like there was no burden.
The bus started to run towards its home base. Rudi as usual kept the front door and Erlang was behind. Two hours bus run on hot asphalt, two hours Rudi is in a bus engap if no wind blows from the sidelines of the window.
The bus arrived at the original terminal, Rudi and Erlang went straight to the office and took the envelope that he had been waiting for from the morning.
"Hahaha, sorry there's been a girl's appointment"
"Emmm, that's it now, playing it like a teros chick"
"Hahaha, envy says busss"
"Hahaha, you've enjoyed your night, I'm not just looking for a room"
"Haha"
The two of them separated after walking together from the office towards the highway where the public transportation went.
Rudi came home with a carefree face, not thinking about anything other than Salsa's response later, even how much the envelope was not he peeked.
Arriving at the boarding house, Rudi walked through Salsa's room and observed whether Salsa was already in her room or not. The door was still tightly closed and the window curtains were also fluttered open. Salsa has not yet returned to work.
Rudi went straight to his room, washed his feet and washed his face. Then he sat on the bed and tried to open the envelope containing the salary to the three.
"Emmm, more than the second month", so murmured.
Rudi was not interested in how much salary he received. Not because the salary to be a kernet is not much compared to his salary when taking care of his father's company but because Rudi had never questioned how much he would get because he only cared about how nuances when it works. An ideology that prioritizes desire over the salary he receives.
Rudi had been sitting and waiting for Salsa to come home, he decided to go out and try to see if Salsa had come home or not.
Rudi headed towards the second-floor fence in front of his room, from a distance he saw Salsa who had just returned home with a large plastic bag in her right hand.
Salsa who realized she was being watched by Rudi tried to signal Rudi to eat while pointing at the plastic bag he was carrying. Rudi agreed and immediately came down to Salsa.
"There's a lot of food"
"Hehehe yes, there are seven packs"
"Cock tumbens bring food from work?"
"Yes, there were more ingredients and the boss told me to cook and take it home"
"It's delicious princess cuisine"
"Hahahaha, be polite a little yes the same princess who masakin you every day"
"Hahaha, ready princess!", Rudi said with a respectful gesture and stood up straight.
Salsa tells Rudi to hand out several other boxes to the room neighbors and leave one for Laura who usually has not eaten. Then they ate and talked for a while before going to the bath and getting ready to enjoy a Sunday night together.

...If my little fingers hold...
...If your heart withers I clench it tight...
...If your little body I hug you slowly...
...If my tears were wiped with my hands...
...Is that a sign I can love you...
...Or am I just a paper for a pen to tell a story?...
...****************...
They both bathe in each other's bathrooms, dress each other up and want to look charming to each other. Rudi with a body filled with strapping and dashing, Salsa with a small body full of black face full of sparkling moon. They both met and looked at each other.
"As usual, small and not dirty", Rudi said after seeing how Salsa dressed up.
"As usual, tall, sturdy and dashing as a monaz", Reply Salsa.
The two of them immediately went to the place that Rudi had determined. Salsa does not know where Rudi will take her, she just follows the man she strongly believes in, wherever and whenever I come with you I just come along. That's what he's gonna say.
