Rudi left for work, with snacks he walked and took an angkot to the terminal. Some people looked at her cool self while walking towards the inner teeminal. Rudi did not care about the people who looked at him as a big boy who was cool while walking.
"You?" Rudi offered his snacks to Erlang.
"What snack is that?"
"Ohaiy"
Erlang smiled, he remembered that childhood snack. A snack that he used to buy often, but before buying it we need to check the contents inside. Usually there is a prize in the form of money of one thousand to five thousand rupiah.
Too early to start work, Rudi and Erlang buy a wrapped coffee so he can drink longer.
Black coffee and cigarettes are very helpful for their mornings to be brighter and more beautiful. A life that has grown flesh and is always comfortable to do.
Their salary is smaller than most others, but they get freedom that most others do not.
"Rud look!" Erlang said while pointing at a bule woman.
"Londo Boule"
"Hahaha, do you speak English?"
"Can, why?"
"Take him talk. Who knows, you can meet the Bule"
"Hahaha, do you want to meet bule? Many of my friends are bule. Just choose American bule or konoha bule."
"Hahaha, Tsunade's a bule"
Who would have thought they were both lovers of Japanese television shows that only aired every week morning on one of the local television stations.
Mr. Darto has arrived, he immediately started the bus engine. Rudi and Erlang also immediately started working as usual.
After a while, the bus is ready to continue its journey. Mr. Darto looks in a good mood. He liked to smile that morning. It makes Rudi and Erlang enjoy the day more with coffee and cigarettes.
After a long time the bus was running, Rudi started charging the passengers.
"Where?" Ask Rudi.
"Front of Majapahit's grave." Answer passengers.
"Twenty-five thousand"
The passenger gave him the money and Rudi gave him a change and a ticket. He did so until all the passengers paid their fare.
Arrived where Rudi had to charge someone with a fierce face and a burly body that looked scary.
"Where?" Ask Rudi.
"Senopathy Threat"
"Thirteen thousand."
The fierce-looking burly man handed over the money. Rudi calculated it, two five thousand and some coins that only amounted to two thousand five hundred rupiah. Rudi looked at the person's face and he nodded.
That guy was quite an attack and his money didn't look friendly either. Rudi did not mind the lack of fare and immediately changed to another passenger.
Some women easily become one of their own entertainment when charging fees. Rudi and Erlang usually invite them to be widowed and there are even people who get to know each other because they meet too often in the bushes.
The bus was speeding, the winds started to go irregularly through the open window.
Bus without AC is old enough there are already some parts of the bus that need regular repairs and are very at risk of the most severe in case of an accident.
After a trip that takes up to three hours, the bus until the terminal stop. The passengers began to turn down.
"Mas, can you please help nurunin" a woman called Rudi.
Rudi came to the woman and then helped her drop off a large bag she had put on the bus.
"Thank you"
"Together"
The woman then went down and went to the base where the taxi drivers were.
Rudi observed the woman from a distance. The woman was like a very hardworking woman. It looks how it looks that is not too luxurious and simple. With such a heavy bag he walked without looking staggering.
Then Rudi came down after all the passengers got off. He stretched out his hands and inhaled the air filled with the scent of the potable smoke from the bus engine.
"Let's have a coffee" Erlang asked.
"Come"
Rudi walked behind Erlang, he looked around. The terminal was more crowded than usual.
A woman who was at the end of Rudi's sight seemed to be looking at Rudi seriously. It is not very clear how the woman's face looks, she wears a black veil with a gray robe. The woman stared at Rudi continuously until it made Rudi curious.
"Lang I'm doing coffee as usual"
"Where are you going?"
"There, just for a second"
"All right"
Rudi walked over to the woman who was staring at him from that distance. The woman remained silent on the spot and kept staring at Rudi.
Rudi sped up his footsteps, tried to approach the woman and asked her why she was looking at him like that.
The closer Rudi got to the woman and the woman kept staring at Rudi. There are only a few steps between Rudi and women. Suddenly there was a group of people who crowded in front of Rudi to make Rudi could not see the woman again.
Rudi tried to break through the crowd and when he had passed it turned out that the woman was no longer there. Rudi who was standing at the place where the woman was standing tried to look around and look for the whereabouts of the woman.
Like the wind, the woman was gone and invisible. But Rudi found a thing that he was very familiar with. It was a perfume she really liked. Perfume of a woman he once loved.
A typical perfume that has never been smelled on other women, a perfume with a sweet aroma that is often used by Salsa in the past.
Rudi went back to look for the whereabouts of the woman. His heart said the woman was Salsa, but her wits said otherwise because Salsa never wore a hijab and veil, let alone the clothes that covered her every body. Rudi wondered if he was Salsa or not. If it was Salsa then why did he leave and not be seen again.
Rudi was only sure that what he smelled was the fragrance of Salsa's perfume. Although only a glance, but Rudi was very sure of his sense of smell.
Rudi stood there for quite a while and then decided to return to Erlang had already ordered coffee for him.
Rudi did not dare to think. He was just guessing and his guess was not sure to be true. He remembered Salsa after he had forgotten her for a long time.
