GREY MARNI
Plastic Ring Of

Still on the same night, Laura's birthday was celebrated by her close friends until everyone fell asleep.

Zola and her two friends were ready to go home, while Erlang and Rudi were still there. Andin had already replied to the message sent by Rudi. Rudi's lover also seemed surprised that the event held by Laura suddenly was a birthday event. Andin was on his way there and three of his friends were waiting for him by singing and telling stories.

"Want a drink?" Ask Laura.

"The usual drink?" Ask Rudi.

"Yes, I'll take ya."

Erlang and Rudi nodded and Laura went inside the house to grab her drink.

Moments after Laura entered the house, a motorbike with bright lights stopped in front of Rudi and Erlang. It turned out that he was Andin who did not look like he had taken a bath. The woman looked full of sweat and the shirt she wore looked soaked by her sweat.

"Hello friends." said Andin after getting off the bike.

Rudi and Erlang only smiled faintly hearing how Andin greeted the two of them.

"Here baby, sit next to me." Said Rudi teasingly.

"Ehh... My darling is so sweet! Must have asked for rations!"

Erlang burst out to hear how Rudi and Andin were teasing each other. Then you approached and took a chair to sit next to Rudi.

"Where's Laura?"

"There's inside, not drinking"

"Where are you An? How's puffing?" Erlang asked.

"Hahaha, playing badminton together temen"

"From this afternoon?" Ask Rudi.

"Yes"

"Crazy!" Said Rudi.

"Hahaha, let me get sexy, baby." Said Andin while hugging Rudi's hand and rubbed his sweat on Rudi. Rudi tried to get rid of Andin who did not want to let go of his sweaty embrace. Erlang laughed heartily at their affection.

After some time, Laura came out with three bottles of drinks and one container of ice cubes.

"Lang, please take the glass inside"

"Ready princess"

Erlang went into Laura's house and took four small glasses that Laura had prepared.

"Where did it come from?" Ask Laura.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry I ran out of sports."

"Not take a shower?"

"Yes really! take a shower, cook I got a girlfriend smelling sweat and armpits." Said Rudi while trying to get rid of Andin's embrace that was still attached to his hand.

Suddenly Andin kisses Rudi and then goes inside Laura's house. Erlang saw how Andin kissed Rudi, then he looked at Laura as if he wanted to say that he also wanted the same thing. Laura responded to Erlang with a cynical face and bulging eyes.

Rudi smiled at Laura's fierce and sweet response. Erlang then put down the glass he took and Laura started pouring the drink into the glass.

"Hold you to wait." Laura said as Rudi was about to drink a glass that Laura had poured.

Rudi then raised his guitar and sang a song that people used to sing at the time of the birthday.

"Blow... Tiupp... Blow out...."

Erlang and Laura looked at Rudi for a moment after hearing Rudi sing a strange song.

Laura laughs at her lover who tries to continue with Rudi's lyrics with her voice that is very ill-suited to Rudi's guitar melody.

Rudi continued his guitar playing even though Erlang had ruined it. They sang the song until it was over, until Andin finished bathing and changed clothes.

"Ra, borrow your clothes" Andin said.

"Yes"

The four of them sat together. Andin raised the glass already filled by Laura.

"For Laura who is getting older and belom is also married!" Her speech.

"Hahaha, to myself who is still cool playing with silly people like you guys." Added Laura.

After raising the glass, they drank it and sat down. Laura refilled the empty glasses.

Together they enjoyed the dark night with three bottles of sweet alcohol in the style of a high earth tug.

They floated together and laughed at each other, their harmony grew tighter and their friendship became more and more bonded.

Andin is friendly with his girlfriend who is playing guitar. He hugs and sometimes participates in nimbrung and try Rudi.

Erlang and Laura did not look like lovers, they just sat next to each other and occasionally held hands.

The higher they fly together, the more night and the colder it gets. Rudi moved his sitting position, he was cross-legged on the chair and prepared to sing a song.

"today... The day you're waiting for...."

One more song about birthdays, with a deeper and meaningful tone and lyrics. That night felt so wonderful to Laura, the widow was so grateful to have friends and lovers who loved her so much. His eyes were teary hearing how Rudi sang the song wholeheartedly and full of passion.

The song was scattered and adorned the black sky. The lyrics become seeds of spirit and negate despair. The melody of Rudi's fingers that pressed the strings with the heart, making the breeze as breezy as cold dew. The ready-to-lighten dew of the coming morning.

"Lang, you don't have a present for Laura?" Said Andin.

"Gift?" Answer Erlang.

"Yes"

Erlang then fell silent for a while and thought of something. Not long after that he stood up and left, as if he knew what he was going to give Laura.

After muter-muter-muter a child, he then took something and fiddled with something he had just picked up.

Erlang then returned to the table and approached Laura. He then knelt down in front of Laura and reached for her hand. Rudi took out a ring that he had just made from plastic that was twisted and formed into a round ring.

Laura smiled sweetly at the silly behavior of her lover who was still kneeling in front of her by holding her ring finger for so long.

Erlang held onto Laura's ring finger not like she wanted to put a ring but more like breaking her ring finger. Rudi clasped Laura's ring finger with his five fingers.

"Laura, will you not be my mother, mother, nanny and guide?" Erlang said with a joking tone and a serious face.

They both look into each other's eyes. Rudi and Andin just stared at the couple with lips that were holding back a big laugh with a small smile.

Laura then nodded then Erlang pulled her ring finger and attached her plastic ring to Laura's white and mening ring finger.

Andin and Rudi then stood up they applauded and then released their lips that could no longer bear to laugh.

Erlang then stood up and hugged Laura with Erat. He then whispered something into Laura's ear very gently.

"Maybe the way I look is like a joke, but what I say is the real thing." Whisper Erlang slowly.

The night was filled with roses. Laura cried after hearing what Erlang whispered. They hugged each other with promises to stay together no matter what.

The moon, the stars, the sky and two of his friends bear witness to their promise. They let go of the novelty in a warm embrace with their heads still flying into space.
