I Go Home Mas...
53. Mirna The Foreign
Yanto in the room stared at the ring that had been found in the courtyard of the house. His eyes brimmed, though,
Why did the ring suddenly come back?
Inner Yanto astonished.
Recalling that he used to be furious that the ring was with Mirna, he bought the ring from the full salary he worked as a two-month cafe keeper.
It felt bad instead of playing, when Mirna reasoned suddenly her ring was gone and she easily apologized enough.
Yanto had felt very unappreciated, had felt that Mirna underestimated his gift which might seem only a ring of no more than two grams.
But...
Why did the ring suddenly appear again?
Did Mirna bring him?
Why would he bring her again?
Wh why?
Why just now?
What was?
Yanto was wondering.
**-------------**
Flashbacks, flashbacks,
Yanto ran back to the boarding house, the new rain fell, not so heavy, but because Yanto did not wear an umbrella or hat, then Yanto chose to run so as not to get soaked.
"Mas."
Mirna stood up to greet Yanto,
Yanto looked a little surprised, because Mirna did not usually call him Mas.
Usually, Mirna calls him names only, or sometimes dear.
But...
"I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to tell you it was coming, I lost hp."
Mirna.
Yanto looked at Mirna,
Something feels different, but I don't know where.
The voice, the face, the posture, are all the same, even the haircut is the same.
"Where's the phone missing?"
Ask Yanto.
Mirna shook her head slowly,
"Don't know Mas, maybe in angkot, or maybe also in the market."
Mirna.
Yanto sighed,
"Yes, then I'll find him instead."
Yanto said,
Rain then fell heavily, Yanto invited Mirna to his boarding place.
Mirna followed Yanto, and saw a pile of dirty Yanto clothes scattered everywhere.
Mirna then grabbed one by one the dirty clothes and pants Yanto.
Uniting the dirty clothes and pants in one place like a basket, Yanto again noticed Mirna's behavior that he thought was not as usual.
"What are you doing?"
Ask Yanto.
Mirna looked at Yanto,
"Well, why?"
Mirna asked even so confused because asked what she was doing.
"Bechenah? Since when do you like to be free? Usually you come here just sit and ask to buy food because you haven't eaten."
Said Yanto,
Mirna at first glance seemed nervous, and it made Yanto feel Mirna became more and more unlike the Mirna he knew.
Yanto approached Mirna, then he saw Mirna's hand,
"Ring, where's your ring?"
Ask Yanto.
Mirna who was asked about the ring was getting confused.
"Cin... What ring is Mas?"
Ask Mirna.
"The ring, which I bought a week ago, where is the ring?"
Yanto asked as he grabbed Mirna's hand and watched her every finger.
There's no ring there, it's all plain.
Yanto sighed,
Asked Yanto with a tense face, he immediately prepared to get angry at Mirna,
"You know what not? I bought the ring with my payday for two months, I bought it because I want you to stop talking about who the women are."
Yanto said anyway,
"Aps... What do you mean Mas? What woman?"
Mirna's like a lost memory, then...
"Myrna! What are you doing? You are so weird today! Why aren't you the usual!!"
Yanto even became upset himself, because usually Mirna if he was angry would return angry, but today, he resigned and just asked why.
That even makes Yanto dizzy.
"Mas... Patience Mas, do not be angry first, Mas why exactly?"
Ask Mirna.
Yanto who does not know how to finally just sit on the floor and hit his own head.
Mirna sat down in front of Yanto, gently grabbing Yanto's hand to stop hitting herself.
"Mas, I'm sorry if I made a mistake, I didn't intentionally remove your phone and your gift ring, really."
Mirna said while shedding tears,
Yanto sighed, in his eyes Mirna's wet face was tearful.
The girl, living alone in this city she said, survived in all her limitations,
Yanto who from the beginning did feel sorry for Mirna, now he also felt more compassion for her.
Moreover, seeing his attitude today that was much softer than before, made Yanto feel that Mirna might indeed be due to feeling guilty finally he wanted to look good with his change in front of Yanto.
"Mas already eaten?"
Suddenly Mirna asked.
Yanto shook his head,
"I haven't had the time to buy any of that food, you want to eat some madura duck rice as usual?"
Ask Yanto.
Mirna shook her head,
"Then what do you want? Rice field? Pecel lele? Fried rice? Satay?"
Ask Yanto again.
And Mirna came back, shaken,
"There's noodles and eggs?"
Ask Mirna,
Yanto frowned, frowning,
"Without the rain, I'll cook."
Mirna.
"Huh? Ma's... Cook it?"
Yanto gaped in disbelief, how could Mirna suddenly cook?
Mirna stood up from her position, walking to the corner of the room where there was a small shelf that was like a table.
Yanto put some food there.
There are eggs, there are instant noodles, tea bags, instant coffee, sachet milk, even rice.
Yanto does occasionally cook if it takes once to skimp.
"I cook rice, then plop and make fried noodles."
Mirna.
Yanto could not say anything more, confused to see the figure of Mirna who was now completely different.
Then Mirna who like not to bother with the gaze of Yanto was immediately busy in the kitchen where Yanto boarding.
Yep...
Yanto's boarding house, which is only three plots of the room, does consist of one front room that Yanto uses for almost all activities, while the other two rooms are the kitchen and bathroom.
Super small kitchen, which is only enough for a stove one furnace, and also a dishwasher only.
Yanto then sat down selonjor, staring at Mirna in the back room who was pacing busy cooking rice and side dishes to eat.
He's not like Mirna Yanto knows and dates.
Mirna that looks so sweet this time,
Mirna this time is far from spoiled impression and also the way of speech is much softer.
Then...
Confused Yanto actually.
But, how could Yanto ask Mirna?
Is it not possible that Mirna deliberately turned into a submissive because she made the mistake of eliminating the gift of Yanto.
Surely he was very afraid that Yanto was really angry, that's why he tried hard to become a much better figure now.
Flashback over.
