GREY MARNI
Many Things Floating

It had been two days that Rudi had not come out from inside his room. He does not work nor does he meet his friends. Laura was at her house for two days and during that time Laura always visited Rudi in her room and offered some food and drinks.

Erlang was also very worried about his friend, he every afternoon after working directly approached Rudi who was in the boarding house and brought him food.

That afternoon was the second day Rudi locked himself up. Erlang had just visited Rudi and now she was sitting together with Laura.

They still could not believe that Andin had abandoned them. An incident they never expected before.

"Ra, keep an eye on Rudi huh..."

"Yes, he hasn't spoken in two days"

"Are there any suspicious things Rudi did?"

"As far as I'm concerned, he's just playing guitar, smoking and never leaving the room."

"I'm afraid he'll do bad things"

"I am too"

While chatting with Rudi, they suddenly saw Rudi walking out wearing a jacket that covered his head. Laura looked at him and told Erlang to follow him.

Erlang followed Rudi from behind, the distance between them was quite far. Rudi did not look back and did not realize that he was being followed by Erlang.

After walking quite a distance, Rudi walked into a shop and Erlang waited outside. Erlang decided to get her to talk and tried to persuade her to want to hang out with her friends again.

"Rude..." Sapa Erlang after Rudi came out from inside the store.

"Eh you Lang"

Rudi continued walking and Erlang followed him.

"The packet I brought you already ate?" Erlang asked.

"Yes already"

They walked together until they reached Rudi's room. Erlang went into Rudi's room, the room that was once clean and fragrant is now a dirty and very shabby room. After seeing Rudi's room, Erlang immediately understood Rudi's misery which he was trying to save himself.

Rudi took out the cigarette he had just bought, he offered it to Erlang and his best friend took one.

"Want to buy a drink?" Ask Erlang.

"You bought it"

"Well wait a minute."

Erlang went down and met Laura.

"Ra pinjem the motor"

"There's in the garage. Where you going?"

"You're buying a drink for Rudi"

"Alcohol?"

"Yes"

"Dikulkas is"

Laura went into her house and came out with two large bottles still full. He gave it to Erlang and went inside again.

Erlang was still waiting for Laura outside until Laura came out with some snacks and two small glasses.

"You're not coming?" Erlang asked.

"No need, you are"

"All right"

After receiving two bottles of drinks and some snacks, Erlang returned to Rudi's room.

"Cock fast?"

"Hahaha, Laura's love"

Erlang sat down in front of Rudi and opened a bottle of drink that he immediately poured into two small glasses.

There wasn't too much chatter between the two best friends, they were more silent and spent time just drinking and playing guitar.

This time Erlang who plays guitar and Rudi just sit still and play the cigarette pack in front of him.

"Lang, if you were me what would you do?"

"Maybe I will also do as you do"

"I'm confused, very confused"

"Let's go, as if all I can do now is just shut up."

"Do what makes you happy Rud"

"When I forbid Andin to go for a walk, maybe Andin won't experience it"

"Don't blame yourself"

Erlang held out another glass of drink and Rudi drank it. Two bottles given by Laura were left half a bottle. Their heads were already slashed high and slowly Rudi started to open his mind.

Rudi began to say everything that disturbed his mind and heart to his best friend without anything he covered.

Erlang responded to everything with maturity without offending or trying to patronize Rudi.

The chat that was originally filled with seriousness and impingement slowly began to turn into a chat filled with jokes and entertainment.

Rudi's heart began to soften and his brain began to get light again. The time they spent understanding each other was almost five hours. From five o'clock in the afternoon to nine o'clock in the evening.

Erlang began to clean the wrappers scattered in Rudi's room and came home after Rudi's room looked cleaner.

"Thank you, yeah..." Rudi said after Erlang said goodbye to him.

"Yes, if it's better not to forget to go to work"

"Yes"

"Working with Anton is like working with a virgin"

"Hahaha, Anton took my place?"

"Yes, you know the guy doesn't want to get dirty"

"Hahaha, definitely bring a comb too"

"Ohh... That's what he has to bring"

"Haha..."

"Yes, I'm home first"

"Yes, be careful"

Erlang came down and he went straight to Laura's house to say goodbye.

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

After Erlang left, Rudi returned with a sad and disheveled face. I don't know what he was thinking trying to look good in front of his friend.

Rudi took his cigarette and went into the bathroom. Sitting on the toilet and smoking cigarettes with all my heart.

Rudi lived every puff of smoke that went from his mouth to his lungs. The smoke billowed in the bathroom. Rudi clenched his hands and punched the bathroom wall with all his might as if he was venting his regret.

Several times he punched the bathroom wall until some blood came out of his hand and stuck to the wall.

The darkness in his heart seemed to be taking away his senses. Under the influence of the alcohol he had just drank, Rudi did not feel any pain even though his hands were already bleeding.

Rudi looked at the wall that still had blood spots, he rubbed the blood with his left hand that was holding a cigarette. After the wall was clean of blood, Rudi hit the wall once again with all his might. The wall he had just cleaned was covered in blood again. There was quite a lot of blood, even more than the blood he had just cleaned.

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

...The full moon is like a horror...

...Its beauty is worth likening to its beautiful eyes...

...Time to remember what is gone...

...Recalling how beautiful she is...

...Looking back on what her lips looked like...

...Now it has withered and died with the light...

...All her beauty had vanished with her memories...

...Now the earthworms will feast...

...Skinning and stroking every part of his body...

...Angels will fall in love...

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

After coming out of the bathroom, Rudi took off all his clothes, closed the door of his room and laid his body on the mattress.

He sleeps on his stomach naked, in the dark of his room Rudi sleeps without regard to his hands that are still bleeding. The pain and itching in his hands he did not feel, as if the wound in his hand was no more painful than the heart wound that suffered.
