GREY MARNI
Visit Salsa

Now that there was nothing more to worry about, Rudi received Salsa with all his heart and feelings. The day is still quite cold, the dawn of adhan reverberated from various mosque toa.

Rudi was still quite sleepy and tired, but he could not if not wake up earlier than the chickens of his neighbors. He breathed in the fresh urban breeze that was still cool in the morning. No pollution interfered with the fresh dew that morning.

A cigarette as usual, smoked with eyes open and exhaled with eyes closed. It is as if all hearts are beginning to come to terms with the situation.

Laura also happened to wake up very early, not as usual. It sweeps the terrace of the house, drying clothes and brewing warm milk for him to drink on his own.

Rudi looked at her from in front of her room and thought, "Why didn't Laura hire a housekeeper?". She saw Laura as beautiful as ever, despite being older than her, but when compared to other women her age, she was the most dazzling.

Suddenly Rudi remembered Salsa and thought about whether she had woken up or had breakfast. Rudi felt the great turmoil of longing, as if his entire brain and heart were sabotaged by the memories with Salsa.

"Rud, still on leave?" Ask her neighbor Bella.

"Yes, I'm still on leave. Is Ardi not awake?"

"Not yet, it's still a shroud inside"

"Friday still works?"

"Yes, he's on Saturday and Sunday off"

Bella is Ardi's wife who works in the office and takes care of the administration of her office, while Bella does not work, she is just a housewife who every day cooks and comforts her husband. They have been married for three years but have not been given a baby.

The age of Bella with Ardi is quite far, Bella whose wife is only 23 years old, while Ardi is 29 years old. They were nomads from the next town not far enough away. In addition to their work factors that require closer residence, they also decided to spend due to the problems experienced by Bella with her mother-in-law.

Recalling their story, Rudi smiled as if he thought that there was not a single person who did not have a problem, and all would find a solution even though it would be a little torturous.

According to Rudi, one day he will try to restore Salsa's face back to how it was before. He didn't think he would do that because he would be unable to bear to see Salsa's already unrecognizable face, but he felt very familiar with Salsa and wanted to end all the misery he suffered.

The day had begun to light, Rudi went inside and washed his entire body. Enjoy cold water from ceramic wall containers that are not so clear. He poured water over his head slowly, trying to drain all the problems along with every drop of water that fell.

After taking a bath, she visits Laura to take her to Salsa. Laura seemed to be relaxing and had completed all her homework.

Rudi walked towards Laura who was busy brewing her warm milk.

"Tumben's up Ra?" Ask Rudi who is still a bit far from Laura.

"Yes Rud, again want to get up early"

Rudi sat next to Laura, he was offered a drink by Laura but he refused and asked for some snacks.

They are both like brother Adin and sister, Rudi who is an only child and Laura who has lived alone for a long time is indeed very suitable to have a relationship as a brother.

They chatted right and left, top of bottom funds. They did not discuss Salsa. Just small talk that makes the morning atmosphere more refreshing.

Rudi also began not to worry about Salsa, he had already decided everything. All he needed to do for now was accompany Salsa to a full recovery.

"Oh yeah Ra, why don't you go find a maid?"

"Nyusahin why is it?"

"I'm not a tip of people who like to rumble, plus often I feel uncomfortable if while being relaxed there are still people calling it, it feels even so bad all"

"Ciee... Introverts"

"Haha... Introverted butterfly grasshopper"

"I'm also that type, if again cool relaxed at least if someone calls or even rumbles"

"Yes! It's risky"

They continued the conversation for several hours. Until Laura saw the wall clock of her house that had shown at eight. Laura invites Rudi to visit Salsa immediately.

Laura told Rudi to wait for her to shower first. Laura took a long shower until Rudi finished a few cigarettes.

After Laura finished bathing and dressing up she immediately left with Rudi. This time they used a car. Laura was driving.

Before they headed to the hospital, they headed to the market first to shop for some fruits and bread.

Rudi does not know what Salsa's favorite food, so far Salsa does not say anything about what he likes the most. He never chose what he would eat.

After a long time of shopping, they continued their journey to the hospital.

The distance between home to the hospital is not so far away, but the journey by car takes a lot of time. Laura drove the car quite slowly and carefully. Poor road conditions and some arrogant motorists are very disturbing the pace of their cars.

Until a while later they reached their destination and headed straight for Salsa's room.

They entered Salsa's room. Rudi immediately approached his lover and stroked his head.

"Sa, have you eaten?"

Salsa just nodded. Then Rudi offered the fruits that he bought and Salsa nodded again, a sign he agreed to Rudi's request.

Rudi fed Salsa slowly, cut by small pieces he put into Salsa's mouth which was still slightly injured.

Rudi was patient enough to wait for Salsa to chew slowly. He stroked the head of Salsa very gently. Rudi still didn't ask anything about what happened. He just wanted to watch Salsa for a little longer.

Laura just stood up and looked at the pair of pigeons. Often Laura smiled and was moved by the couple.

Rudi still stroked and gave the few remaining apples, then he brought his mouth closer to Salsa's ear.

"Everything's gonna be okay"

Instantly Salsa's eyes that were still full of wounds were wet. He felt a vibration of sincerity from a little word that Rudi said very deeply.
