Chapter 4
Shinta asks Aji not to make payment for their travel expenses, with her attempt to hold the wallet in her hands, to put it back in her pants pocket.
While Aji insists on not wanting his intention to pay, in the way.
Though the wallet that is still in his grasp is already in an open state.
Due to the seizure of the two of them, some contents of his wallet scattered and fell scattered to his seat and the Bus floor around them.
Among the objects that fell scattered there are two cards that at a glance almost everyone knows, that the card is an NPWP card. While the other one, his membership card at KPI (Indonesian Seafarer Union).
The resident's ID card fell to the bus floor, while the KPI membership card fell flat on Shinta's birthday, with a swift look and read, he read it, then the insertion of the card into his tote bag a glimpse of a meaningful smile on his lips.
His actions were without the knowledge of Aji who was busy taking other objects in the form of coins denominated in one thousand rupiah as well as other things that are not yet known what it is.
Aji felt no longer hindered by Shinta to continue what had been her original intention, which was to pay the travel expenses for the two of them.
While the conductor who had been faithful waited, to take the cost of two passengers who already knew where the destination was.
He deftly bajuhi the nominal value of Rupiah on the ticket he gave to Aji, how much Rupiah to pay.
" This is Om, the ticket ." Sahut conductor while giving the ticket sheet to Aji. He received it and immediately paid it with the amount of money that had been prepared from the beginning.
" Thank you, Om."
" Everyone." Answer Aji briefly.
⚓⚓⚓
" Coy....! passengers who kayak begiiiii this is the cave demen, just pay to scramble." The conductor shouted at his kernet.
" Frequently meet like this Boss !" Kernetnya.
They both laughed together, not a few of the other passengers also laughed feeling they had gotten a free show.
" This rare similar scene happened !" Sahut one of the passengers who noticed the incident from the beginning. His sense of hers was he conveyed to the passenger sitting next to him.
It is possible, for other passengers as well, that the incident for them, is indeed a rare and new occurrence this time, it happened, so that what was once only a small part who saw directly and knew the incident from the beginning, whispered to the next passenger.
So did the one who had a whisper, he whispered again to the person sitting next to him, until only a relatively short time, he said, inside the Bus, it sounded like a flock of Honey Wasps were in a group when they found a flower that was being scattered and contained a lot of honey juice..
The sound of buzzing like a group of people who are doing Zikir congregate in a mosque, or the sound of a group of people who shop in a traditional market.
The noise lasted long enough, to then subside after several members of the Zikir was one by one seen leaning his head on his seat each, and seen his mouth open with his eyes closed.
While Aji and Shinta continue their respective activities as they did before the small spark occurred.
⚓⚓⚓
This time Aji who neutralized the atmosphere that had felt stiff by the two of them, it seemed like each was hesitant to open a conversation.
Here Aji shows, how a man should behave.
" Ehmm ..., Shinta Tea," she said with a hand out, as a gesture that Aji was waving her white flag.
On the other hand, Shinta who had lived life up to the level of the household, and parted in a good way, only that wholeness was no longer in his defense.
Previous experience made him prefer to be open, for a small incident that does not need to be exaggerated, greeted the outstretched hand with a sincere thin smile.
" I'm sorry for my attitude that made me uncomfortable. I am the host who almost did nothing to the guest, who should have been the Guest, quoting the content of the lecture of the late Ustadz Uje.
" Aaah, there's no need to discuss, I guess it's just a misunderstanding between us." Answer Shinta.
" Can't I ask something to teteh." said Aji
" Throughout your question it is necessary for me to answer why not .? Answer Shinta.
" Why did you insist on paying the bus fare ?"
"Reason ?"
" The reason you're a grown man, you should know why, or maybe you're too much money huh?, so you want to show me. Or because of the prestige as a man if it gets paid by women ?"
" I'm being honest or not?"
" I'd rather you be honest"
" Honestly, my answer is, the last reason you have in your Asums is tea."
Shinta gave her two thumbs up to Aji. And presents a bottle of drink in the form of Aqua branded mineral water measuring 650 ml.
he was greeted by the man with great joy.
Without further ado, he opened the lid. By reading Basmallah, he took the time to say before drinking it." Then tea !" said, then.
In the sip of mineral water until only half of it remains." Thank you kindly Teteh Shinta, I forgot to drink.
Because I think, usually in the terminal, like to ride hawkers.
Tumben was not one of them who came up to the bus.
" Don't use any pleasantries."
" Not a pleasantries Tea, just So wenak nih.!"
" Why is that?, people usually say ," So it's not good !"
" That's someone else, the real one likes pleasantries. I don't like that, honestly why not good ? it's good, right ?" Connect Aji. Which made them both laugh.
Now the atmosphere is completely restored as they first met and sat side by side inside the "ORIGIN PO PRIMA" Bus".
If earlier when the atmosphere was less conducive to conversation like now, felt the journey from Jakarta which is only 120 Kilometers like to be doubled the distance, he said, why not just come to the village of Rumingkang which is intended, both by Shinta and Aji.
But now the place after place that the bus passed by was like passing by so quickly. Not felt by them the city of Serang has been passed by the Bus they were riding, even the border of Serang City with Pandeglang was just passed.
Now Bus PO. PRIMA ORIGINAL is already located just below the Archway that reads "Welcome to Pandeglang Belief City, Kota Sejuta Santri ".
That means that it will not be long for Shinta and Aji to arrive at his destination, to be more sure then Shinta asks.
" Aa conductor, how many hours will the bus arrive in Rumingkang ?"
" It won't be more than an hour, Tea. If the traffic condition is like this, we will no longer ngetem really, it is the condition of Load ." The conductor replied, making Shinta take a breath, a sense of relief filled the bottom of her heart.
Indeed, at the terminal Serang many passengers who disembarked, which was originally loaded when departing from the terminal Kampung Rambutan passenger seat almost full, and who disembarked at the Terminal Serang almost half.
But there was an addition of passengers at the intersection of Baros road, the end of Serang city towards Pandeglang, out of nowhere and going, so many passengers who went up. So that the amount of cargo exceeds the load when departing from the Kampung Rambutan terminal.
At that time there were no less than 15 passengers. So that the bus feels so crowded, especially felt by standing passengers.
Indeed, the Promise of the mouth of a Conductor of an Omprengan Bus Company that is quite familiar like this PO.ASLI PRIMA, can be trusted.
After escaping from the heart of Pandeglang city, the Bus Driver showed his skills in driving his vehicle, stepped on gas, maybe until stuck on the Deck plate.
Because the speed of the bus is like a truck Three-quarters of the box freight, which likes to teach the target to take and deliver cargo, with the driver who runs his car as pursued by Satan. Such is the term pinned by the community around Pandeglang to the PO Bus drivers. ORIGINAL PRIMA.
As per the target, the Driver and the appointment of the conductor. It is true that it is proven, PO.ASLI PRIMA , indeed Prima, said Aji, while showing satisfaction on his face, they have now arrived at their destination.
Evidently, with the voice of a woman, it turned out that she was Shinta who shouted in a loud voice.
" Sir Driver!, I went down at the diner "Swaying Tongue, yes Sir ."
" Ready !" loud voice of the driver.
Mengger has passed, a few minutes more Batu Bantar will be passed soon, and Passengers destination Rulingkang definitely recommended by Kernet to get ready immediately.
