Chapter 5
Promise is a debt, which must be paid by deeds in accordance with what has been promised.
Haruki was waiting for Aji's arrival that morning to come. But somehow not as usual, his best friend had missed two hours from the time he had promised to come and meet
.
the sun had already appeared on the eastern horizon and its rays began to warm the surface of the earth around where he lived in the ivory coconut housing, where Haruki was currently with extra patience, waiting for the arrival of his chum.
The cring!!. the ringing sound in his handheld phone, when he saw who was calling him in this newly appeared morning, when on the monitor screen was seen the inscription of a name that was familiar to him, he said, Pure Mother Marjani administrative department at Nagasaki Motor Service workshop.
Not to mention the fresh atmosphere is fully enjoyed, heard the voice , "Hello, good morning, Mr. Haruki!"
" Yes good morning Pure Mother" Haruki replied.
" Mr. Haruki, Mr. Shintaro said, today I ask you to come immediately, there are several client vehicles that request immediate service." Pure mother.
" Well, Mom...! I'll be leaving soon." Haruki replied, sure.
After the end of the conversation through his cellphone, he rushed to get ready to go to meet the request of the owner of the official Mitsubishi auto repair shop, where he worked.
It seems that the workshop has begun to busy serving cars that come, some by telling first, some are coming without giving early info about the arrival plan.
This morning some of his regular service customers, came without prior notice.
This workshop began to increase in terms of income turnover, directly proportional to the amount
consumer vehicles are increasing in number.
Operational costs also experience additions, such as for the procurement of spare parts, as well as the completeness of other service facilities, such as lubricant oil, and so forth.
All the tools and equipment are in the responsibility of Haruki, as the procurement department, in addition to his dual position in the field of marketing.
The Boss, who holds the reins of leadership at the Nagasaki Motor Service Workshop, realizes that the progress of this business is thanks to the persistence of a worker who is in the field of Marketing, also doubles as a coordinator in the procurement and planning section.
He is Haruki son of a business partner who has been considered as his own brother, this is not without reason, because Haruki's father as a trusted person, who has now officially become an Indonesian Citizen.
While Mr. Shintaro still has not pocketed his Indonesian citizenship, so all business license legality letters including the official ownership of this Workshop, on paper is in the name of his Papi Haruki.
...*********...
Aji is not because of forgetting or intentionally, to come late in fulfilling the promise to meet with Haruki, in consideration of fear of his spirit iru has left for his workplace which sometimes likes to have a sudden call, he will feel sad when he comes there directly and alone.
He memorized the habits of his Sohib, who always gave information in conditions that could change at any time, yesterday he said he could accept his arrival this morning.
But until now there is no info that Haruki is at home, meaning Aji can immediately docked there.
If Haruki is not at home, to the knowledge of him the occupants who are there, besides Maemunah the other one is a hijab woman, which Aji does not know what her name is.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
" Oji...! Yesterday you said to Brother, today you want to have business to North Jakarta, to meet Haruki, koq has not left? the rain has gone away." Anggi reminded.
" The plan is like that, brother, but it's true, you can take care of your own home IMB letter that has not been completed yet?" Answer Aji.
" Yes Aji, brother can koq go alone, just finish it first, your business is !" Tympal Anggie.
" Okay, sister then, Actually, I was a bit lazy to travel today, where it's Friday, I memorized very well the Haruki, if he's not busy very, very busy, surely he took the time to leave a message, tumben this time no, he tried to send SMS via WA, also did not answer !
The phone did not lift either, but let me also be late to leave, it should have been a little early.
Could he also be upset waiting for me too.long, I leave, brother?!" He shouted, saying goodbye to go to meet his sohib.
Haruki was in a hurry to leave because of the sudden shackling, so he did not have time to pay to two people in his house.
As soon as he remembered Aji, who he had promised to meet him this morning at his home, he imagined how much his spirit would be disappointed while from South Jakarta traveled a considerable distance to his home in North Jakarta, but the person he was going to meet was not in the place ?.
As well as Merta she took out her phone from her jacket pocket and., "Fuck you..! pantesan the Aji has no contact to the cave,
never forget the battery, Anjiiir !! " He mumbled alone spilling his irritated feelings.
" The cave must rush to the workshop, so quickly tell the house people, if the Aji wants to come there, which the cave is afraid of, he caught up with two people there, he said, still mending if only meet the Mae, well.., if you meet ama ...."
Unfinished monologue inside her mind, suddenly
decit sound of tires from the vehicle that is on the brake. Chekiiiit reghhh!!.
A Box car with a size large enough to stop a few meters past the parked Aji motorbike, but the back of Mogenya slightly jutted out, to the shoulder of the road.
The car retreated a few meters from the position he stopped, with his head sticking out while looking back, from the left seat
box's car was heard screaming.
" Wey .!! the motor park is less middle..! Luh want Moddarr yeah .?!" his yell.
You can be sure the person kernet from the Box car, for a moment later, the car was back to continue its journey.
Haruki did not serve the swearing of the person, he realized after looking carefully, so in a hurry to stop, apparently he parked his motorbike less a little more to the edge.
Moments later.....
Immediately he turned on his motorbike, and then he passed from that place.
Meanwhile, Aji is late and Haruki hasn't told him where he is right now, so as to make it not burdened by his arrival which was already far floundering missed the time that had been agreed upon by the two of them, who were supposed to be the morning before Haruki Go to the workshop.
Though Haruki is most allergic to meeting people who have made an appointment with him, then the person misses the agreed time, with reasons that are not included in his analysis, then the person misses the agreed upon time, then it will be very difficult in the future to be able to make another appointment with him.
But he is sure, Aji's delay, there is no element of intentionality.
How many years his friendship has been established, between them already understand each other, and respect each other, also accept each other's shortcomings.
The two of them, both of them are single, who are destined not to meet or have not found a replacement for the failure of the relationship that does not continue, the relationship, for one is separated by a destiny which no Man can afford to prevent, because of Death.
While the other is due to error in interpreting the meaning of a Honesty.
Honesty itself is the capital for
inevitability, and the goodness of the fruit that will be quoted later on the result of honesty itself.
But even dishonesty, it is not impossible to produce sweet fruit to be enjoyed, only for certain people, with the dishonesty of the results obtained, always bears the fruit of anxiety.
His heart defies, His soul revolts, in sleep cannot be restful, when awake he is restless.
While pondering word by word, it strung together into a sentence that meant he arrived at the courtyard of Haruki's house.
" Alhamdulillah, apparently Sohibku has not left" said in his heart.when seen by him Haruki's favorite vehicle is still parked in the open sky garage next to his house.
After he got out of the car and walked to the veranda of the house, then on the knock the front door of the house.
Not long after, someone came to open the door, and there appeared a young woman aged between 15 or 16 years old, still wearing makeshift clothes, in his hand that was holding a floor broom and in his next hand was holding a rasp for trash.
" uluhh, the geuningan Om Aji ? Mango to lebet Om !" (Sundanese language; Ouch.., it turns out Om Aji, please go into ), said the girl, who is none other than Maemunah. Haruki used to call him Mae.
To this day, Aji still felt unsure of his vision, so he could not be held back to ask.
" Maemanah !?" Spontaneously thrown a name, but with a tone of questioning.
It makes the called turn to look at the face amazed because the name called is not his name, but closely related to him.
" oom... Aji..koq..?.....
