SYAHDU (Contract Sleep Friends)
Highlight Syahdu Eye

After dinner at the hotel, Wicak and Syahdu returned to the room. Today they have no plans but to rest so that tomorrow they can be content to surround the small island.

Syahdu opened the window to enjoy the wind. The sound of the waves rumbled, he could also see the crabs walking to and fro in the sand.

"Shahdu."

"Yes?"

"I'm out first. I have something to buy." Wicak. He walked towards the door. While Syahdu still continues to stare at the rolling waves.

Tonight he'll sleep with Wicak. But, the man said he would sleep downstairs. Turns out he ordered an extra bed because the sofa here is small, can not be slept.

Syahdu's mind drifted. Is it true that he and Wicak just spent the night sleeping in each place? Is it really going to be like that? Why did Syahdu expect something to happen between him and Wicak tonight?

Arga once said, no man can stand alone with his girlfriend without doing anything. Arga said that when Syahdu said that he never did anything to Wicak. Of course Arga felt Wicak as abnormal, dating for 7 years but did not touch Syahdu. Hearing that, Syahdu was angry because he often heard the beating of Wicak's heart as they hugged. Then, when Syahdu did an error in the karaoke place at that time, he could also feel something hardened behind the Wicak pants.

So, if this night just passes by, it means that Wicak is really holding back so strongly on his desires.

The wind blows harder. Syahdu closed his eyes and saw the smiling face of Wicak in his shadow. I knew that the man loved her very much. That's why he kept looking after Syahdu until he married her.

"Shhhttt.."

Shahdu opened his eyes, he heard a voice.

"Fwiwwit." A whistling sound was heard, Syahdu looked down.

It's Wicak. Syahdu laughed. The man could have been downstairs, instead of going straight into the room.

"Well??" Shouted Syahdu.

"Look at you." The answer. Wicak pulled out his phone and photographed Syahdu from down there. Not to be outdone, Syahdu also photographed his lover from above.

Syahdu laughed at the man's behavior. "Naikka. Cold, tau!"

The lizard did not directly recede. He still looked at Syahdu from below with a distinctive smile.

"I'm down, yeah." Shouted Syahdu again.

"No.. Chilly. I'm the one who ascended!" Said Wicak and instantly passed from his place.

Arga turned the pen in his hand. He sat on the balcony hugging a guitar. On the table was already scattered several sheets of paper with many scribbles. Every now and then a tone sounded from his mouth, he wrote, then crossed out again.

Arga plays the guitar. His eyes glanced at the paper that was already full of scribbles. He started singing.

'Lost in your eyes, there is nowhere to run

Take me inside and let me live in your mind

There's no you tonight, my life feels lonely.'

Feeling something was lacking, Arga crossed out the paper, writing another new sentence. So it continued until she felt tired and leaned back on the chair.

"Huffa.." Arga put down the guitar and started putting up cigarettes.

He took out a piece of paper that he had scribbled on since earlier. Rereading a verse of the lyrics he created as he began to feel something was missing from him.

Arga felt his days were going on like never before. Even the dating friends he used to hang out with, no longer have any desire to be with them. Arga has been sitting in the bar repeatedly to just fill time with his friends, but his feelings like being left at home and making him want to go home soon. I don't know why it feels so.

Arga grabbed the phone. Trying to check social media. Perhaps he found the inspiration to write the next lyrics.

The finger that had been moving since then, finally stopped right at the newest status of Syahdu.

Arga put down his phone again and started writing the words he had just caught from his mind.

'All this time I drowned like a rock

I tried to close my eyes and ears on my throne

I lost my way home, but instead you were present...'

Arga put down his pen and began to recite the song he had created from his deepest heart.

The door was knocked, Wicak who was cleaning his goods immediately opened the door.

"Good night, mas. Sorry to interrupt the time. This is a gift from our hotel." A hotel maid came with a tray of two glasses and a red wine.

"Sorry, but we don't drink alcohol." Refuse the Tortoise subtly.

"But mas, I'm just delivering this. This is an additional service due to a system error that you can get at check-in. After all, it's only 10% alcohol, mas." The waiter handed the tray to Wicak. He lazily accepted it.

"Well, if so, thank you."

The waiter left and Wicak closed the door.

As Syahdu was just coming out of the bathroom, he saw Wicak putting a tray with a black bottle on it.

"What is that, brother?"

"Wine."

"Huh?" Syahdu. "Aren't you buying Wine??"

"No. It's a gift from the hotel."

Syahdu approached, only this time he saw a bottle of wine that is usually in the movies.

"This is what's red, right?" Syahdu asked, trying to see the contents of the black bottle.

"Yes. Don't drink. Ntar mabok again." Tukas the man. He was laying an extra bed on the floor.

"Masa? In the movies, it is not possible to make mabok, really. The feeling of being drunk is a bit like that. I open, yeah?"

"Don't.n.." Wicak immediately snatched the bottle from Syahdu.

"Ih, why? Little, doang. Not getting drunk. That's just 10% too%."

"You know how much you get drunk? If you drink it constantly you can also get drunk." Wicak raised his hand, making Syahdu pout because now he could not reach the high hand.

"Eat him, drink it a little bit. I'm curious, tauu." Syahdu jumped up and down to grab the wine in Wicak's hands.

"No. Don't try to drink alcohol."

"But it doesn't get drunk, brother." he replied as he continued to try to snatch.

"If I say no, yes engg. eehhh."

Wicak involuntarily continued to retreat until he hit the foot of the bed.

The two men fell on a mattress with the position of Wicak under Syahdu. Their eyes met for a long time. From the eyes Wicak looked at, Syahdu looked even prettier when she was on it.

Argh, Wickak threw away his evil thoughts. He didn't want to do that to his girlfriend. But the look in those eyes, why does it seem like you want something?
