GREY MARNI
Receiving Andin

After arriving at the boarding house after working all day, Rudi relaxes with other boarding house residents who also come home in the afternoon like himself.

Rudi picked up his guitar and played music with other friends. There is already a kendang made of paralon pipes and icy made from sausage bottle caps.

They sing like regional children with songs that tell of their difficult circumstances and do not enjoy being far from family.

Some of those people are already married and some are still single like Rudi.

Four o'clock in the afternoon, it was a lot of people. They happened to come home the afternoon after work from seven in the morning.

Manufacturer's children, office children, terminal children and some other workers. Old young people have just graduated from high school. They mingled in front of Rudi's room.

Only the men who come together while some women look embarrassed to join the gathering except Rudi's neighbors who are a couple. His wife was cool enough to get together with the men and her husband was not too overprotective either. Those who gathered in front of Rudi's room respected each other. Their size there is a circle that is very pleasant for Rudi.

The afternoon passed quickly. Along with the song and laughter, dusk came to greet and told them to take a bath and disperse.

Adhan magrib reverberated and they quickly returned to their respective rooms. Rudi was still there cleaning some snacks and cigarette butts that were scattered with several other people. After looking clean, Rudi went inside his room and locked the door. He put down his guitar and made his bed.

There was a ringtone sound from his small mobile phone, a sign of a message coming in. Rudi took his phone and read the message that came. It turned out that it was a message from Andin who would come to his boarding house and take him out to dinner and a walk.

Rudi agreed to Andin's invitation and prepared to shower and dress up. He went into the bathroom and started pouring water from his head.

For a moment he thought back to the figure of the woman in the terminal. The woman still made Rudi curious. He was afraid that the woman was really Salsa who was trying to meet him. Not long after that Rudi laughed, he felt that the path of his life had started like FTV which was full of mysteries and things that seemed to have been designed by the director.

"Rud, are you ready?" Ask Andin from outside her room.

"Attent"

Rudi came out from inside his room shortly after answering Andin.

They then left on Andin's motorcycle. Rudi was driving and Andin hugged her from behind.

"Where are we going?" Ask Rudi on a fast motorbike.

"Huh?"

"How big is your bra?" Ask Rudi again.

"What's? Not heard."

Rudi then slowed down the speed of the bike and asked again.

"Where are we going?"

"As far as you are"

"We should go for a walk first"

"All right, baby"

Rudi again raised the speed of his motorbike and went down the streets filled with vehicles and street lights.

They walked down the road through the night wind which was quite strong. Andin hugged Rudi tightly, putting his chin on Rudi's shoulder. Sometimes Rudi gets rid of Andin's pointy chin which hurts his shoulder when passing through uneven roads.

"Eh let's go to the monument into the city yuk" Andin asked.

"Now?"

"That's"

"Away"

"Alright princess"

Andin pinched the thigh of Rudi who called him the princess. They then drove swiftly towards the city's border monument that had just been completed a few months ago.

The border of the city was indeed located some distance away from where they lived. It took me an hour to get there. The night was still long, they drove fast until they reached the city border.

From afar it looks how magnificent the newly completed monument was built. A large monument that stands on the highway with colorful lights and carvings typical of the past makes the monument a destination that is often used as a stopover by some people.

The two of them then parked their bikes and looked for a place for the two.

"Buy pentol yuk" asked Andin after seeing the pentol seller who was stopping in front of them.

The two of them then approached the pentol seller and ordered two packs of thousand lila pentols.

"Pedes all?" Ask the pentol salesman.

"Yes I'm hurt." Answer Andin.

"You're spitting up too Rud?" Ask Rudi andin.

"Yes"

After they received two packs of pentols and paid for them, they sat in the seat under the great monument. There were three seats with two seats that were already occupied by two pairs of humans who were being spoiled.

They sat and ate the pentol while staring at the passing vehicle.

"Rud, have you ever slept with a girl?"

"Ear!"

Andin stared in shock at Rudi, as if she could not believe what her lover had said.

"I'm serious" Andin said.

"Just like me too"

"When? With who?"

"Then, same Salsa. But we didn't do anything, just slept together in my room"

"It's impossible not to do anything when guys and girls sleep in one place. Moreover, you guys are already dating."

"Not yet, I haven't dated him..."

Rudi recounted what happened that day when Salsa suddenly wanted to sleep in the room with Rudi. He told Andin everything in great detail and honestly.

Andin listened to Rudi carefully. He still could not believe what his girlfriend said.

"If you?" Ask Rudi.

"Never. But very often I was picked up by the crocodiles when I was drunk."

"Not really?"

"Yes, I'm a drunk and a bad boy, but I still have a high price."

Rudi smiled hearing how resolute Andin said. Rudi began to feel that Andin was a woman worth admiring.

From that moment Rudi established himself to try to accept Andin with full heart. He will try to accept Andin more and forget the other woman in his mind at that time. Neither Marni nor Salsa. Rudi will try to start forgetting them all and start arranging the seeds of love for Andin.
