CONFESSION STONED
163. Talk to Boy

“You want to nemenin me?” boy asked Tini and Asti who were sitting on the terrace of Mak Robin's room.

“Where the hell is it? The obvious infonya.” Tini was curious because since yesterday Boy took them for a walk in the true meaning of the word. Walking distance.

“Temenin aja first. You ‘kan can see for yourself,” annoyed Boy patted Tini's shoulder.

“I don't want to fall in Boy..” Kilah Tini lazily.

“Alesanmu Suketi's. Before you got here, you fell. Come cepet!” Boy pulled Tini's arm to get up.

“I'll change my sandals first. Who knows, we need to walk far, feet not blisters. Mbak Tini also,” Asti said.

“I've been using negligee to sneak up on gini. Males change clothes. It's a shame, just a walk. I wear sports shoes,” said Tini then got up and went into his room. Shortly after, he appeared to lock his room.

Tini suit is a sheet of negligent batik that drowns his body and a pair of cheap sports shoes that he wears to the island of Bintan. Since returning home from there, the shoes have been twice glued with ghost glue so that the tread does not come off.

“Be careful kelen. Don't laugh all the way. Wallet hold the betol. Bye tonight.” Mak Robin warns three neighbors who have been at 9 pm past just want to get out of the house.

“Aman—aman, you are also careful Mak same your bike. Still new. If there is a chain of ships, you chain it. Don't take your motorcycle and move to the second.” motor showroom Tini pointed to a motorcycle parked not far from the door of Mak Robin's room.

“I want to ask for an opinion ,” said Boy finally.

“What opinion Mas?” Asti put his hand on Boy's right arm. While Tini hung the arm of the other Boy.

“I want to rent a shophouse for toast. I calculate the rental place in front of two mini markets how it feels the same as contracting shophouses. But I think again, the mini market is indeed crowded. The shophouse that I want to look at is also crowded and more crowded area to the city. So I'm going to have three outlets.” Boy explained his plan to go for a walk that night.

“You want to add another outlet? Mas Boy cool uh,” said Asti tightened his embrace on Boy's arm.

“How do you think Tin?” ask Boy. “How did you get?” Boy looked to the left.

“I'm sleepy in the wind malem,” says Tini. “Not too short you add another outlet? Do you have any debt now?” ask Tini.

“Not there, I have no debt. The two carts I bought were also used carts. Renting this shop is not expensive, because I only use the ground floor. Two floors above that employee costs-kosan.”

“Wah! You can sniff there too. It's not good to go far. We can move there too.” Suddenly Tini became fiery.

“Can't. That's expensive. There is no chicken coop kayaking facility that can—”

“Now?” tanya Tini and Asti in unison. Boy nodded. The two women were instantly lethargic.

“Yeah, not so if so. That's what makes chicken coop hard to forget. Although Nyai sadistic, he never ngomel humiliate the residents of boarding houses if hungggak.” Tini. He had been in arrears for almost four months because he had not yet got a job. Once he could, the salary he earned was just enough to eat. A woman who owns a chicken coop that is often called Nyai, only snorted when she could not pay the costs. Maybe because the face of the weld Tini mounted looks very convincing, Nyai instead equipped it with 5 kilograms of rice when he returned home.

Not long walk, they arrived at the ranks of shophouses near the mall. In their very odd outfits that night, Boy shows a shophouse that says ‘ rented’.

“Where?” ask Boy. Asti and Tini stand looking at the shophouse that Boy showed them.

“Gede This Boy!” tini. “When do you want to open?”

“Kalo is the place okay?” ask Boy again to convince himself.

The shop is in the shop area. The courtyard is wide and separated from the main highway. On the right there is a cafe, karaoke place, mini market, and a boba drink outlet.

“Oke.” Tini crossed her hands on her chest standing facing the closed door of the rolling door of the shophouse.

“As?” tanya Boy glanced at Asti.

“OK Mas, fits. Deket beverage outlet, Mas Boy trade toast.” Asti put his hand on Tini's shoulder, smilingly looking at the building in front of him.

“Okay, if so. I'll notify the owner tomorrow. Early next month, you guys come all yes..”.

“Sekalian Nabung Boy.. who knows next you can nyicil and also have a shophouse..” said Tini turned the face of Boy who did look longing for the place.

“Iya—iya. Definitely that,” sahut Boy.

“Keren Mas Boy. A cauldron of Piles will spread throughout this city.” Asti also draped his arm over Boy's shoulder.

Boy looked at the place satisfied to hear the words of his friends. Even without them he can make his own decisions, but when he hears positive opinions from others, his spirit is increasingly flared. Early next month he can't wait to inaugurate his third outlet.

During his nearly 6 years in the city, Boy felt this was his most satisfying achievement.

The three that night they supported each other's dreams. The support they can exchange for each other is just spirit. It is simple, but it has a wonderful effect.

*****

A few days later.

“You still want ‘kan with Agus?” asked Heru when he just got out of the car and handed the key to the valet parking attendant.

“Last met a long time ago. So not too bad, why? Want to see him?” ask Bara to Heru.

Both of them set foot into the lobby mall in the afternoon after office hours.

“Iya, I want to talk about additional insurance for employees. We are a private company, it is safer if there is insurance cover other than guarantees from the government.” Heru took his step towards a coffee outlet that is always crowded with young executives and slang children.

“Why not go to his office?” ask Bara.

“Udah afternoon you know Kang Mas. later the employee so overtime if the boss in the office continues. Especially if Agus comes to the office the sky is still dark.” Heru chuckles.

“That's yes?” bara asked looking at a dapper man with two beautiful women sitting next to him. Bara saw the man looking at them since he got into the coffee outlet.

“Iya, that's Agus. The two girls must be his sales marketing. Pinter yes he is looking for sales..” said Heru again laughed.

“Pinter and not a problem because he is not married,” murmured Bara with his mouth barely open. Their steps were getting closer to Agus who was already smiling widely welcoming their arrival.

“How are you Mr Agus?” sapa Heru immediately welcomed the helping hand of a friend whom he had not met for a long time.

“Iya, Bara.” Bara laughed because he saw Agus's astonished face.

“Wah, haven't seen you in a long time. Used to be gallant, now more dashing.” Agus chuckles. The two salespeople sitting next to him were smiling at the conversation of the men.

“I how's Gus? More dashing not?” joked Heru while waving at a servant.

“Kalo Heru since the first difficult to fight. Campus beetles,” Agus gelak. “King rebar charm.” Agus laughed a little.

“Sampe now then,” says Bara open-open menu.

“Know this is my senior salesman in the office. The Veni—” Agus pointed at the woman sitting next to Heru. “And the other one is Indi,” said Agus pointed to the woman next to Veni and next to him. Bara sat between Heru and Agus.

That afternoon they sat in small circles at the coffee outlet.

“Tini how?” ask Heru. “Good ‘can it work?”

“Ha? Tini's? Hmmm.... You don't get mad at me.” Agus grimaced looking at Heru.

“Why?” Heru was a little worried and exchanged glances with Bara.

“You ‘kan said to confess the things I used to do to employees. Let Tini better her work, explore all her abilities.”

“Iya—iya, really. Trus?” cut Heru impatiently.

“I just got mad at him this afternoon. Large customers who have promises to cooperate with our company, still unclear. He was back and forth following up. No news yet. I said he worked poorly and was less diligent. Less trying and—yah Agus returned grimacing.

Bara exchanged a look with Heru.

“Iya—iya is okay. If you are ordinary, that is no problem. The treatment of all officers is the same. Not differentin,” Heru said.

“Tinya after that how is Mas?” Bara confirmed Heru's statement about not distinguishing employees, but on the other hand he also worried about Tini.

“Tini is only. I think he got sad and lethargic out of my office. I feel a little guilty,” said Agus.

Bara and Heru looked at each other again. Tini is sad and lethargic. They both accidentally imagined the figure of Tini who became sad and lethargic after being ambushed in the office. Maybe the woman just stayed in front of Agus. But Bara and Heru do not believe that Tini did not curse Agus behind. The two men looked back at Agus and grimaced.

The waiter came to deliver all their orders and Agus had asked Veni one of his sales marketing issued a bid file to show Heru.

“Udah long time working in Pak Agus company?” ask Veni.

“New three years Sir,” replied Veni smiling.

“New three years but already a senior marketing. It means trade pinter,” said Heru chuckled.

Bara who was staring at his phone replied to a message from Dijah, momentarily glancing at Heru who was making a woman blush.

“So I'm clear now Sir?” veni asked a little to draw her seat to look at Heru.

Heru clenched his mouth and nodded small. Because of the mouth slump, the dimples of his cheeks look more clearly adorned the face.

Veni slightly got up and pulled his chair to get closer to Heru. Seeing Veni having trouble keeping the map on his lap and shifting the chair, Heru offered help.

“Before, you stand first. Let me just.” Heru pulled the heavy iron chair slightly closer towards him.

Veni glanced and smiled at Heru, “Thank You Sir..”.

Bara who was chatting with Agus about The Term, again saw the gentle actions of his cousin's brother while sneering. Hobby spread Heru charm has not disappeared apparently, thought Bara.

“So this is the basic value of the calculation Sir..” said Veni pulled out a piece of paper.

“By the way the tight is a little, I am not denger.” Heru smiled back.

“Ehem!” Bara. Heru looked at her but instead chuckled amusedly.

Heru's phone that was placed on a short-laced table twice. The owner got up a little bit it grabbed the phone.

“Before ya Veni...” said Heru gently. Veni nodded

A second later, Heru's eyes widened and he immediately looked back. His eyes looked for something.

“Why?” tanya Bara looked at Heru's pias face and had not disappeared from his surprise.

“Aduh,” says Heru.

Bara slightly got up and looked at the cellphone that was still burning in Heru's grasp.

‘The sit is very tight. Her cheek can be stuck in.’

The message was labeled ‘Sayang’, Heru call make Fifi.

Bara laughed out loud. “Racaine. Rasain..” said Bara then continued his laughter.

“Ven, Gus, I'll take a moment.... Want to find someone like still around here.” Heru immediately rose to shift his chair and half ran out of the coffee outlet.

Bara chuckles. He then picked up his coffee glass and spoke to Veni. “Jelasin to me. I think Mr. Heru will be long.”
