GREY MARNI
A Different Day

This morning it was time for Rudi to return to his daily activities, he went to work as usual and worked as usual. He meets Erlang who is now Laura's boyfriend. Erlang who now has started to organize and improve his appearance and he looks very different from the old Erlang.

Erlang started wearing perfume, combing hair and some other things that made him look cleaner and handsome.

Rudi is still the same as usual, only now he wears new clothes and pants that he bought yesterday while before vacationing.

Their work feels very pleasant, with Erlang's behavior still likes to invite joking some female passengers and rejected outright. The Guyonan that Erlang gave was not the guyonan that he often used when he was with his friends. Guyonan Erlang to the passengers classified as absurd guyonan, and not funny at all.

It makes some passengers who have often seen Erlang so grim in their seats, not least Rudi who every day saw Erlang's behavior while on the bus.

In the afternoon is the time for Rudi to go home, he walked out the terminal alone, until the sound of Erlang calling him from behind.

"Rud, straight home?"

"Yes. What's up?"

"Nothing, maybe I'll have a coffee first"

"Where's coffee?"

"Front there" Erlang replied as he pointed at the coffee shop across the highway.

"Can, come"

They walked towards the coffee shop designated by Erlang. After sitting on the chair inside the shop, Erlang ordered coffee and Rudi ordered a glass of iced milk.

"Well? Can I just make a coffee?"

"Remain nyusu"

"What brown milk is white?"

"The delicious chocolate" replied Rudi Becanda.

"Hahaha, really. Which chocolate is more delicious."

"Haha"

The shop owner made their order in no time. The two of them did not take long to wait for their order to be completed.

The two of them chatted about some lighthearted things and did not mention anything about the relationship they had with their woman yesterday.

Rudi took out his cigarette and distributed it to Erlang. They enjoyed the afternoon so much that it darkened around them without them noticing.

"Rud you don't think of finding another job?"

"Hmm, not like that. What's up?"

"I'm a little bit inferior to my relationship with Laura, she's an established woman while I'm just kernet."

"Hahaha, he likes you. She was also not a woman interested in titles and treasures. The Laura I know is a good woman and appreciates a lot of love and affection."

"But I'm still inferior"

"Hahaha, stay as you always are. Do not force anything unnecessary"

"Hopefully I didn't make Laura regret it."

"Hahaha, you've grown like this"

"I'm human too, hahaha."

"But you don't feel it, after our vacation yesterday. Like there's something different but we don't understand what's different."

"No." Answer the Erlang.

Rudi tried to convey what he felt but the short response given by Erlang irritated Rudi. Then they simply replace that serious topic with another very useless and obscure topic.

"It's dark, let's go home"

"Y" answered Rudi.

Erlang looked at Rudi with a laugh, as if he knew that Rudi was replying to him. Erlang paid for his coffee and the milk ice Rudi ordered.

Then they went to the angkotan that went to their respective destinations. Rudi's coming home pretty late this time. It was still eight, but the surrounding situation he passed felt very quiet and calm. Rudi sat daydreamingly looking out the window of the questionnaire. He was silent in a confusion he did not know. Until other passengers boarded the cargo and faded the daydream.
