GREY MARNI
The Beautiful Andin

After several days of waiting, Mr. Darto has officially left the terminal and his position is now replaced by Erlang. Today is the first day Erlang legally drives a bus. He has enough experience and has the courage to go long ago. It's just that he was reluctant to replace Mr. Darto driving.

This time Rudi became a single kernet for a while. Erlang still accompanied Rudi to dance passengers as usual. After the bus seemed to be almost full, Erlang started the bus engine and prepared to leave.

After the bus entered the highway, the bus immediately drove quite fast with its new driver. Although not firmer than Mr. Darto, but Erlang is quite good at driving the bus.

Rudi began charging passenger fees, one by one from the rear seat to the front seat. After finishing charging the entire passengers, Rudi stood at the front door and chatted casually with Erlang who was focusing on driving. Erlang's face seemed relaxed even though this was the first time he had driven a bus.

"Rud, what do you think?" Erlang asked with her face forward.

"Good!" Rudi replied without knowing Erlang's intentions.

"Haha"

Not knowing and not understanding what they mean, they just laugh as if knowing each other's brain content.

The bus was on its way to its destination terminal. Rudi will give a warning when he sees a passenger who will ride the bus on the way and Erlang will marginalize the bus and wait for the new passenger to board.

That's how they work now. After arriving at the destination terminal, Rudi and Erlang headed straight for the coffee shop together. After sitting down and ordering the two of them start chatting.

"Where can you drive the bus from, Lang?"

"I used to be on the bus before I was often told to replace the driver, so I'm very familiar with the bus."

"I guess this is the first time you've driven a bus"

"Hahaha, you wouldn't dare if you're not used to it, let alone it concerns the lives of many people."

"Hahaha, what about the kernet?"

"You should be enough"

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter that important doble!"

"Hahaha, I want to mourn Rud!"

"Make what?"

"Let's marry Laura"

"Hahaha, are you ready to take responsibility again?"

"Everyone if there is a lot of money. Haha..."

"Mending to open a business first"

"What usaha?"

"Which is light, but it's a lot!"

"Teach me teacher"

"Hahaha, ready disciple. So here's..."

Rudi began to explain some things with serious speech but delivered with a behavior that looks joking. Rudi's hand seemed to be expressing or describing his words.

Rudi explained a business plan to Erlang as when he was explaining something to his business partner in his father's office.

Time goes by quickly. The coffee they ordered had arrived at the end of the cup a sign the work would restart.

They went back to the bus base and started working again.

...----------------...

"Not come by first?" Ask Rudi.

"No I go straight home" Erlang replied as he walked hand in hand with Rudi towards the terminal exit.

"All right I go home first" said Rudi who then entered the angkot and vanished from Erlang's sight.

The green cargo drove off unhindered. The streets were not too crowded by big trucks as usual. Short trip, Rudi arrived in front of the boarding house and went straight to his room.

He looked down at the ground without realizing that in front of his room was a woman waiting for him.

The woman was Andin who seemed to have just arrived and deliberately waited for Rudi in front of her room instead of stopping by Laura's house first.

Rudi was still unaware of Andin's whereabouts until he climbed the stairs and turned towards the door of his room.

"Ehhh, it's been a while?" Ask Rudi after seeing Andin.

"New to"

"Why not just wait at Laura's?"

"It's okay, it's good to wait here for you"

"It's me bringing some snacks"

"Hahaha, understanding as always."

"Look at what it is."

"What is it about?"

Andin gave the paper bag he brought to Rudi to open. Rudi opened the brown paper bag. Inside there is a square-shaped food container that is quite large. Rudi opened the food lid.

"You made it?"

"Hehehe, yes."

"Andin-style fried rice. Let's try it"

After opening the lid of the food and seeing the fried rice with two beef-eye eggs, Rudi's stomach immediately felt empty and hungry. He also directly devoured fried rice made by his lover without offering Andin first.

Andin just smiled and looked at the pleasure of Rudi who was eating his cooking.

"Nake?" Ask Andin.

"Not good!" Rudi replied with a mouth full of fried rice.

Andin just smiled hearing Rudi say his fried rice was not delicious but still ate it. Then Andin stood up and took a glass of his lover's drinking water.

"Thank you" said Rudi slowly.

Since there was nothing Andin could do, he decided to pick up the guitar and lean his back against the wall.

Andin tried to play the guitar on his lap slowly. He could not play the guitar and just plucked some strings and pressed some other strings without knowing the rhythm key.

Rudi looked at Andin who was seriously playing guitar as if he was learning. Rudi smiled at Andin.

"Can't you play guitar?"

Andin looked at Rudi and shook his head.

"Do you want me to teach you?"

Andin shook his head again. Rudi let out a look of astonished face with curious eyes. He hoped Andin would tell him what he wanted.

Andin then turned his face and touched his cheek with his index finger as a gesture of wanting to get a kiss from Rudi.

"Hahaha" Rudi laughed and hurriedly finished his meal.

After finishing eating and drinking, Rudi immediately sat next to Andin and took the guitar in his hand.

Rudi started to play a calming rhythm. He conveys his feelings through beautiful melodies. Andin collapsed instantly, the woman then rested her head on Rudi's shoulders and enjoyed the music from him.

"Rud, suppose I die sooner. What are you gonna do?"

"Find the others."

"Seriously?"

"Yes"

"You're evil"

"Then don't die fast"

Andin raised his head and looked at Rudi who had just said something beautiful to him.

Andin looked at Rudi who was still singing, the woman then brought her lips closer to Rudi's cheek and kissed him.

"Uhhh... Asem" said Andin after kissing the cheeks are still full of sweat.

"Hahaha, wrong yourself"

"Udah take a shower first"

"Just a second! One more song"

Andin takes a position and sleeps on Rudi's thigh adjacent to the guitar held by him. Andin closed his eyes and listened carefully to the rhythm of the guitar that was right next to his ear.

The woman floated in the twang of the string sound. He felt once again a voice that shut him down and fell asleep.

The voice he usually hears from a mobile phone is now heard directly. He fell asleep in an instant and without realizing it Rudi was observing his face which was very charming even without a spirit. Andin's beauty makes Rudi more confident with the woman of his choice, he is more determined to always keep the heart for her.

Andin falls asleep and Rudi begins to play a lighter melody, accompanying Andin in his sleep and letting him stay in his lap.
