TINI SUKETI
75. Tini Dress

Only Mak Robin rides a motorcycle, the rest of them huddled in a taxi to the newly opened meatball booth near Boy's toast shop.

“Your new office is convenient, Tin?” ask Boy.

“Your question is the same as that of Agus. I answered that. You ask the same answer, ” replied Tini.

“I have an honest answer version. I think you've been busy lately.” They all just got to the meatballs. Boy and Tini walk the very back.

“Pawn. Everything is comfortable. Now we ourselves are comfortable. The name of the person at work is macem-macem. Not everything we like, and not everyone likes us.” Tini slowed her pace.

“Iya, anyway,” replied Boy. “In which office there must be a gossipmonger. Including us is one of them. But all the gossip in the source office remains anonymous. Even though we know the guy,” said Boy.

“Nah, yes. Uh, Boy .. I also have news for you. But this is not gossip and you must keep it a secret,” said Tini with a serious face.

“What?” ask Boy directly. Is this the strange atmosphere that he later caught while in the middle of the noisy occupants of the boarding house?

“But you promised not to talk to anyone first, huh? There was an official announcement from me. I don't want to be ashamed anymore because—”

“Iya—iya. Safe anyway,” cut Boy impatient. All secrets are safe. Safe among those who often already know the same know. Long time together in the boarding house, making them consciously understand each other's habits.

“You want Mas Wibi? The yesterday—”

“Yang yesterday nyium you in the dark-eight? Yes, tau. Wh why? Why are you dating?” guess Boy.

“Diajakan? Huh! Was ordinary. How many men did I ask to date I refused. This one is different,” said Tini.

“Terlarah. Why?”

“He invited me to meet his parents, Boy ..” Tini covered her mouth with an anxious expression. “I didn't expect, Boy.”

“Serious, Tin?” asked Boy with a really serious look. He's happy to hear it. But in his head he was also guessing anyone who already knew about it.

“Serious, you know. Later he would pick me up to take me to Surabaya. The problem is that to Surabaya, I definitely have to take a holiday. Though I, right, just entered the new office.” Tini frowning.

“That's the last problem. What matters is getting picked up. Find your best boss. Your science is usually high when it comes to making excuses,” said Boy.

“In the new office there is a boss who seems to be able to CT scan the contents of my head. Just like he, I can't lie. Must honest. I think I'll talk to him later. Despite the piercing and sharp words, I just need to be quiet. He's probably gonna hang out. I said I want to practice science from him.” Tini again sniggered shut her mouth.

“I'm really happy if you have a family. Especially when Wibi is brave. Although his face I feel too serious,” said Boy.

“Wibi the suit (sweet/sweet), Boy …. Not very serious. Suit dose. Not too sorry, not too stiff. Anyway,” clear Tini.

“Suit—suit …. Ja. Anyway if you like everything fit. Only the colonized can argue until the last blood point if the matter of mas-mas. Come, eat! I'm laper,” take Boy. Tini laughed at Boy's speech

Tini and Boy stepped into the meatball booth and instantly picked up the menu. When facing dishes, everything was diligent. Occasionally there was a speech from Dayat and Evi took turns to propose the answer to Tini's task.

“Discount, Ma'am! Discounted price,” said Dayat.

“Gift indication. Purchase so many dapetnya so,” added Evi.

“What is the question?” ask Asti.

“How to sell unsold goods and abundant stock in warehouse,” replied Tini.

“Truly, anyway, Dayat said. Discounts. Mbak Tini added about the purchase in large quantities will be greater the discount. This in retail or wholesale, Ma'am? The answer is Mbak bedain aja,” proposes Asti.

“Oke—oke, you guys slow down. Me while nyatet.” They had finished eating, but were still sitting. Tini pulled out her phone and recorded the proposed answers that her friends threw.

“I always note less desirable jam or slow sales. Once a week I record. So I detected the product did not sell it from the beginning, so that I can also reduce the shopping.”

“Oke—oke .. I write later ‘’detect the product not sell as fast as possible so as not to produce too many’ so, right?” ask Tini. He immediately recorded the words Boy.

“Come on, all the way out. You pay for this, Tini! I'm full, nguap the Robin has been wide times I look,” said Mak Robin.

Tini immediately called the waiter and paid all their bills. Not expensive, but eating together outside occasionally feels very special to them.

“Tini is already rich, yes?” sindir Boy as Tini puts two red sheets on the waiter.

“As Sejah said, if only treat this much, do not have to wait rich first, Boy.” Tini sneers.

From the meatball booth, Mak Robin came home first by riding his motorcycle. While the rest back on the taxi until the front of the alley. Tini came down first with her magical clothes. The brown batik negligee and the white sports shoes and the briefcase are definitely not a matching blend.

Evi and Asti walked in front. Dayat and Boy followed behind them. While Tini, walk the very back while kicking.

Suddenly from behind Tini ….

“Tini!” The voice of a man made their steps stop.

The left side of the alley is an old house building covered with trees and creeping plants that seem creepy at night. While the right side is a high wall from the back of the shopping complex.

In the dark alley and the unpleasant aroma of the walls that are often attached to the motorists, Wibisono stood staring at Tini.

Aghast Evi immediately approached her brother. Similarly, Dayat who had resumed fighting on a woman on the phone, immediately ended the conversation. Asti and Boy are waiting for what happens next.

“That's who?” whispered Evi to Asti.

“Masnya Mbak Tini,” replied Evi also in a whisper.

"I'm ora nyongko, mbakku in senengi karo wong ko iki. Mripate gak siwer? (I didn't think my mom could be liked by someone like me. Are his eyes healthy?)” Evi whispered back.

Dayat just nodded in agreement with Evi's words.

"Your sheep, Vi. Sik iki mudheng karo your talk, English yo mudheng. Your mending meneng wae. (Mouth, Vi. This one knows my words. English is also good. So mending you diem aja.)” Tini answered Evi's words with her mouth barely open.

Wibisono. Tini is so happy. But Tini grimaced. Why did the man come in when he was dressing up so strangely. Daster with sports shoes. An office bag, hair pinned behind the head, and eyebrows were bald.

To Be Continued

Dear readers ....

Given that so far juskelapa has never been off updates more than a day in a row, please be understood if juskelapa occasionally vacation, yes.

Yesterday juskelapa meriang, Boeboo. I'm not feeling well right now either. Tomorrow juskelapa want PCR to go to Medan on Saturday. Pray for good PCR results so that you can go to visit Mother.

Please be informed, yes. Juskelapa does not need to be billed, you know. It would be up if it could. The story about Wibi and Tini is also not stretched as the reader guesses. All have story lines. All have their measure. Let's be good :)

Thanks for waiting for Tini.

Thank you very much for the support, passion and motivation of the boebo so far.
