Sounds buzzed around Galuh, but his ears were clogged. He repeatedly swiped his frozen feet, his wet shoes had been removed. While her fingertips went down and down shrinking her wet skirt.
“Sorry,” Galuh said as the passenger next to her wearing a mask on her face frowned and pulled her feet quickly when she was hit by water droplets from the wet skirt she was wearing. He then shifted to the side, docked at the angkot wall and gazed out the window.
The rain had started to subside, only a small drizzle remained. Glanced at the watch in his hand, Galuh irritated. He was almost too late to follow the instructions as usual before starting work. Not felt, Galuh shuddered to imagine the face of the boss Susilo when scolding his men who came late.
The man's thick mustache covered his upper lip. When the talk is visible only under the lips that move, and become pitch black after each coffee drink. Unknowingly Kiara giggled amusedly while covering her face every time she remembered about that one.
“Stop front, Pir!” there was a voice of the man beside her saying loudly to the questionnaire in front of them.
The cargo he was riding was pulled over. Before disembarking the male passenger next to Galuh opened his mask.
Ting! A flash of light hit the man's teeth. Galuh almost choked on his saliva when he looked at him. Galuh looked away quickly, and his hands moved to cover his mouth.
“Neng! Don't cry, because it will only make your pretty face look sad. Remove your tears, believe me this is not the end of everything. If today fails, there is still tomorrow. Stay spirit!”
“Hah!” Galuh lowered his hand, staring inexplicably. Does it sound like someone was crying? Galuh cleared his throat, touching his neck. He did not realize that his makeup had worn off.
The man came down from the angkot with an umbrella in his hand, turned for a moment to Galuh and smiled clenched his hand. “Spirit!” he said without a sound, then put on his mask again.
Galuh melengos, relieved to no longer see the light coming out of the man's mouth when talking. Angkot drove back and stopped in front of a large building on the second floor which was right next to the entrance gate of the mall where he worked.
Galuh tidied his clothes and put his shoes back on, looking for a moment at the rearview mirror above the driver's head. Holy hooch!
Galuh ran quickly through the side door closest to the escalator stairs to the second floor where he worked. Arriving there, he rushed to a special door reserved only for mall employees, rushed to open his locker and took his work clothes stored in there.
“Yes God, how is this?” galuh rested limp behind the locker door, realizing the underwear she was wearing was wet. It must be uncomfortable to move freely if this is the case, while he must always face the customers who come to shop at his counter.
“Easy, you just have to replace it with a new one, after that wear it. Do you!” Her best friend Luna suddenly just emerged from behind the closed curtain, gushing her face with narrowed eyes staring at her.
“Jeez Lun, about if ngagetin people. If I keep fainting here, how about?”
“Easy, just contact security continue to bring to the hospital. Do you!”
“Au ah, talk to you there is no win!”
“Not to panic, the thick mustache is having some business outside and is not coming tonight. So we can be free to work without the need to pretend to be sweet in front of him,” whispered Luna in Galuh's ear.
“Thank God, I'm in a hurry to get here. Stupid time don't think people out there on empet nahan laugh look I like gini.”
“Indeed the charm of the mister Susilo make women fall awake made,” continued Luna make Galuh tickle while rolling her eyeballs. “Buktinya now, you have to fall awake up to the workplace in order to hear the love song from mister Susilo.”
“By the way, anyway! What a charm, sangar yes.”
“Hahaha.” Luna laughed off.
“Lo's satisfied ya laugh!”
The locker room door reopened, distracting the two. Meldy the primadona mall appeared with a famous street style model. “Yeah, add one more problem!” I complained to see it.
Luna held back a smile hearing Galuh's words, she pulled Meldy's arm to get closer to her. “Mel, did you see anything different from our one sohib?”
Meldy stared intently at Galuh, from top to toe. Half-dead he tried to refrain from laughing and pretended to hold his stomach. “Aduh, cramps my stomach!”
“Udah, help napa. Don't smile at a smile not clear that,” Galuh said with a clear look.
As Galuh expected, he will be the laughingstock of his two friends this time. Meldy's eyebrows shot up as he looked at Galuh, and Galuh realized that his friend was trying hard to hold back his laughter.
“I'm sorry to see your appearance today, it turns out rain can make a Galuh Nanda chaotic!” The laughter of the two broke out instantly, the usually quiet locker room was now crowded with laughter. Inevitably Galuh followed laughing, and Luna swiftly helped clean up the makeup on her messy face.
“You don't know it, I met a shitty guy out there and had to cram with a lot of people in angkot.” He complained to his best friend.
“Cakep not the person, any time it could be a new bogey I.” Meldy blinked her eyes.
“Dih, girlfriend people know!” sahut Galuh fast.
“Lah, why tell us. If it's a skip, it doesn't matter!” reply Meldy.
Galuh grimacing, “Dah lah, mumpung still have time before changing shif. Otw look for underwear first place Cika, but there are discounts. Mayan ngirit shopping money, bye!”
Galuh rushed out, his steps halted upon hearing Luna's scream behind him.
“Hey, your skirt is wet it is Noah. Ish said that, looks really good. Replace napa?” luna Tease.
“Luh, wear mine. I brought serep, there were two. If you want in the locker,” timpal Wendy.
“Dih, used dong. No! Mending buy new,” Galuh.
“Still original, Luh. Buy two free one,” timpal Luna who immediately got a hit Meldy on his arm.
“Aduh!”
“Not to be explained either, kali!”
Luna grinned, “Yes buy it the same Me, why Galuh doang offered?”
“Indeed triangle lo wet, raining kayak Galuh?” reply Meldy.
Luna rubbed her nape, “Ya, no hell.”
“Well, that's tau. How else to use it?” Meldy flicked Luna's forehead, and went off breezing leaving the lunatic Luna holding her forehead.
“Ish! Mel, waitin!”
“Buruan!”
The two then followed Galuh who was choosing items in a large basket. After getting the item he wanted Galuh shouted to Cika.
The atmosphere in the place was not too crowded because it was almost entering the changing hours of night work shif. There were only a few customers who were picking some items that were on the hanging shelves.
“Cik, I picked up that lace model. Wear a note, here. Or direct cashier ... Aow!” Galuh turned her body while brandishing the triangle in her hand, and immediately complained in pain when her forehead touched something clay in front of her.
The thing in his hand came loose and fell to the floor, and while wanting to save his possessions a hand had first picked it up.
“Hem, like the lace model apparently.” A muttering voice entered his hearing.
The blush!
Galuh raised his face which instantly turned crimson. With a quick movement while enduring the embarrassment, he snatched quickly the dark blue lace triangle from the hand of the man in front of him. Walking to the cashier's desk and quickly passing from there accompanied the crisp laughter of the man behind him.
