ADJOINING REALM
ANTO

Still on the same day as the arrival of Darto and his friend, this afternoon Darto said goodbye to retreat from their long chat. He was about to meet his best friend who had sent a letter a month and a half ago, and now Daro was standing right at the door of Anto's house.

"Assynnya!" shouted Darto while knocking on the door slowly.

"Glamma!" answer the voice of a man whom little Darto knew from inside the house.

Darto scrunched his forehead when he heard the answer from his greeting. Confused by the sound that was heard, so continue to guess the sound came from his best friend or father. Because it is very similar to the voice of his best friend but his tone is bigger than he ever remembered.

"Darto!" yelled Anto who just managed to open half the door of his house.

Without further ado, Anto immediately hugged Darto who smiled softly at the door, they both held back tears that began to pool in their eye bags.

"Come Dar, crazy you're handsome once now Dar, your skin is yellow, not black is rich first!" said Anto geleng-geleng, after seeing the changes of the Darto gesture that is now rising and also his skin that bleached, precisely yellow.

"Ah you are also the same Tok, already dashing now, your mustache is also rich ijuk so ha ha ha!" tejek Darto after long enough to notice Anto's mustache that he deliberately lengthened, even the end deliberately Anto twisting upwards.

"But handsome, right?" anto replied as he continued to raise his eyebrows.

"Yes Tok you're handsome, but I'm still a girl, and I'm not saying you're handsome. Later suppose I like again with you, kasian your future wife if to be jealous with me Tok ha ha ha!" darto replied with ridicule.

After talking for a long time, they decided to meet Anto's future wife who turned out her house was not far away. But before that Darto returned to his home to invite his three friends to participate to meet the woman. Because according to Anto's narrative his house is close to Pak Sapto's house, Darto intends to invite his friends to eat together at a meatball stall that was not long established in front of Pak Sapto's house.

Now they know each other. Anto was a little surprised to see Harti, and he still could not believe that his friend's future wife was so beautiful.

"You really want to be with Darto Ma'am?" anto asked Harti with an astonished face.

"Now I've met you fight Tok!" timpal Darto, his tone was tight but immediately broke the laughter among them all.

While continuing to joke along the way, now they arrive at a simple shop owned by Mr. Sapto, seen Mr. Sapto who was cleaning the remaining bowl that had been used by visitors before.

"Assalamualaikum Sir! how's things? the wagon doesn't get stuck in the grave anymore, does it? ahaha!" darto said then to himself.

Seeing Darto, Mr. Sapto scrunched his forehead repeatedly, he tried to remember who was standing in front of his stall.

"Waalaikumsalam, you're Darto?" Said Mr. Sapto in confusion.

"Yes Sir?! how sir? a sellout?" tanya Darto basa stale, then rushed to sit on a long bench made of wood, followed by his four friends.

"Really Darto? it's different, yes. As far as I know Darto was short, black, scaly skin rich in snakes," replied Pak Sapto trying to prank Darto.

"There are these Sapto sir, that was sir. now it is appropriate to be a star ketoprak he he he," replied Darto kepedean.

"Alhamdulillah I am healthy Dar, Alhamdulilah also sell well. Yes Dar you're handsome now. Who is Dar, by the way?'' Mr. Sapto appointed Darto's three friends one by one.

"They are friends of Darto sir, and the girl my candidate Pak he he," replied Darto happily. Welcomed the blushing red cheeks of Harti beside her.

"Duh, Deck. Beautiful but his eyesight is lacking," grumbled Pak Sapto see the beauty of the future wife Darto.

"Well, I didn't eat here, cook my future wife said her eyesight was ugly sir!" Darto pretended to be angry.

"If her eyesight is good, she can't possibly want to be like you Dar! ha ha ha ha!" Mr. Sapto laughed loudly, followed by the laughter of all Darto's friends at the stall.

Before the finished order, Anto asked for permission to leave for a while, he was about to call his future wife. His house is right next to Mr. Sapto's.

"Include Dar, his name is Sri Susanti. And Sri, know this Darto, a friend that I often tell you," said Anto introduced Sri and Darto, and in good response, he said, they immediately threw smiles at each other while slightly nodding.

After all getting acquainted, they ate the meatballs sparingly as usual. Even Darto who has mixed meatballs with rice, still ask for additional portions.

After the meatballs in the tripe run out, the cigarettes have stayed ash, they return to their respective homes because the day is getting dark.

It looks like Harti and Sri have started to get along, they both continue to tell a lot of things. Same for Anto, Bidin and Surip also feel comfortable with Anto's behavior and immediately make them familiar at that time.

...***...

It's dark. Isya prayers have been completed in the hangar, one by one Darto friends pampit to go home first. And left Darto and Anto alone in front of the hangar.

"Tok, I want to tell you. But I hope you're not angry with me" Darto's face bowed, his tone sad.

"You just knew me, Dar!" anto replied grumbling.

"Actually your wife-to-be there are those who continue to follow Tok," said Darto back.

"You mean Dar?" Anto was a little surprised, his forehead he squeaked occasionally.

"There are subtle creatures that continue to stand behind Sri. If you do not believe you can ask Harti, he must also see Tok," said Darto trying to explain

"You're saying my wife is rich her mother's Dining?!" Anto raised his tone.

"It's not Tok, you are patient first.don't immediately get that emotion," said Darto then invite Anto, and rushed to go to the shop Pak Sapto.

"Coffee two sir!" darto said to Pak Sapto.

"Not exactly meatballs?" answer Mr. Sato.

"No sir, just fry it if still," replied Darto back then.

"Oke Dar," answered Pak Sapto then went to the next room to prepare Darto's order.

"What did you mean Dar?" said Anto, his emotions began to fade, now seem a little nervous and afraid.

"You should trust your friend Tok, I can help you. Looks like someone doesn't like your marriage, either,"

Said Darto like a bolt of lightning in Anto's ear, he immediately leaned his body on the wooden wall behind him, then drowned in his daydream.

"Already, Tok. For now, I'll be guaranteed the creature first. You take it easy, there is Me, Kakung, added Sewahan that you can rely on. Many people can help you now," said Darto now make Anto face gradually stretched from the original stiffened.

"Tomorrow you can take Sri to my house, right, Tok?" ask darto back.

"Can Dar, however he should be able to!" said Anto with a face that stiffened again.

"Have saved your emotions, we finish tomorrow" said Darto back.

They finally chose not to discuss it again, because Mr. Sapto had already sat on the same bench they stopped by. That night passed without sufficient explanation from Darto to Anto.

Seriate.
