GREY MARNI

GREY MARNI
Marnie Wants Something


In the distant sky there are two small birds flying in tandem, as if they are mingling love. The two little birds looked happy and happy. They fly higher and fall faster. Their small wings joined together, with the bodies of light pliers. The two birds fell together.


They continued to glide until they touched the ground, then they both got up and flew again. It was as if the two birds wanted to tell every human being that they were both ready to get hurt as long as they stayed together.


Rudi was delivering Laura shopping, he was waiting outside a shopping building that was quite magnificent.


Rudi sat under a tree that contained a seat from a pile of bricks that had been covered by sand and cement dough.


The man sat quietly staring at the four little children who were shoulder to shoulder climbing up the mango tree. The little ones seemed to want to take a kite that was on top of the mango tree. No one wants to help them, as if letting the children do their own thing is the best way.


Rudi was still sitting there, nor did he want to help the little ones. He prefers to sit quietly there smoking and watching the little children who are still trying to take the kite.


Staring without looking left and right until he did not realize that a girl was observing him from a distance and approached. The woman walked slowly with her face down. The woman gets closer to Rudi and Rudi is still unaware of the woman's arrival until she sits beside him.


Rudi felt the wind being blown from the woman's dress. The fragrant aroma of the woman also made Rudi very sure that the one sitting next to her was a woman.


Rudi turned his gaze away from the little children who were reaching for the kite and turned towards the woman who suddenly just sat beside him.


Rudi was aghast as soon as he saw the figure of the woman. Without him noticing and guessing, the woman was a woman he had not seen for quite a long time. A beautiful woman he had forgotten to accept Andin.


Marni smiled from behind her veil, her eyes were very beautiful and very cool to look at. Rudi glued for a while and shifted his sitting position. He put a little distance between himself and Marnie. For a while, there was no chatter between the two of them.


"Why have you still not come to the address I gave Rud?"


"Sorry I'm still busy, hehehe"


Rudi was confused to answer Marni's question without further ado.


"Ohh... Still busy. What are you doing here?"


"Nganterin friend shopping"


"Are you not shopping?"


"No, nothing"


The response given by Rudi seemed to be avoiding the chat with Marni, but in his heart like there was a turmoil that made his entire body tremble. Rudi did not understand the situation at the moment, he always felt the turmoil when he was close to Marni.


"You look tense, relax, hehehe..."


"Hahaha, no! I'm not tense." Said Rudi while scratching his head.


"How's Andin doing?"


"Well, she's as healthy as ever"


"What did you bring, not Andin?"


"No, she's Laura. Friend and owner of the boarding house I live in"


"May no contact Laura sala?"


"Hahaha, I don't seem to have to answer that question."


"Hahaha, why is that so"


"You just came to my desk and asked Andin to get acquainted"


"Hahaha, I'm just curious about the woman you're dating."


"Why?"


"It's okay"


"Just curious"


"You go to that place often?" Rudi started asking.


"Yes often, it's where my friends and I relax"


"So..." Rudi had not finished speaking and Marni cut him off.


"The blessing I gave you, are you still keeping?"


"Come."


The woman then stood up and left Rudi who looked like there was still something she wanted to ask Marni.


Marni walked quickly, got inside the alley and then disappeared from her sight. Rudi looked at Marni from behind before Marni lost her sight. He was very sorry because there was still a question that he had actually asked Marni for a long time. Rudi is eager to find out what Marni's motives are coming and going from her life. As if Marni is a mastermind as well as a person who has been paying attention to her for a long time.


Rudi was still staring at the alley where Marni had disappeared. He did not realize Laura was behind him with a large plastic bag.


"Rud, let's go home." Laura surprised Rudi.


"It's over?"


"Yes, you didn't eat first?"


"Would you like to eat first?" Rudi asked back.


"I'm not hungry but if you're hungry we'll eat first"


"No, I'm not hungry"


"Let's just go home"


"All right."


Then Rudi took the bike and went straight home with Laura. On the way home, Rudi did not forget how Marni found herself. He also tried to guess the reason behind the sudden coming and going of women.


The blazing morning sun did not feel as if it was only seven in the morning, was hot enough and made the body sweat.


Short trip they got to the boarding house and they both went straight to the front of Laura's house. After Laura got off the bike, Rudi immediately put the bike in the garage and met Laura again.


"Ra, any drinks?"


"Alcohol?"


"Yes"


"Tumben's having a drink early in the morning"


"Hahaha, I'm thirsty"


"Just come in, drink inside lest anyone see."


"Ice stone cake yes"


"Every boss" Laura said in a respectful manner.


Rudi laughed looking at Laura who was respectful to him. The half-old woman looked like a child who was not willing to be told to by others.


Laura then went into the kitchen and took a glass of the drink she had placed in the refrigerator, she also brought a few pieces of ice cubes and two medium-sized glasses.


The two of them sat down side by side and Rudi immediately poured a drink for Laura.


Rudi did not want to tell her what had just happened to her while waiting for her to shop earlier. He preferred to keep quiet and digest what Marni was planning for him.


"Have you never met Marni again Rud?" Laura asked.


"Never, the last time I met Marni was the one I told you about."


"Well you were on a date with Andin and suddenly Marni came?"


"Yes"


"I'm actually very curious about that woman, Erlang doesn't really know that woman either."


"Hahaha, I told you everything"


"Therefore I was curious about women, women who could make a Rudi amazed."


"Hahaha, it's normal"


Their discussion of Marni was ended there, they then discussed something else that was more pleasant, and then, and another thing that was fun was every thing and story about Erlang the most cute and romantic lover of Laura.
