"Woi! What's in here? Instead of entering," I rebuked Adul who was bending his head at the edge of the gate.
"Ish, diem is Tea! Don't be noisy" he replied without looking.
"Are you healed, Dul? Really fit for a night broadcast?" I kept asking with the intention of bothering him.
"Teh Inoxu, diem! Later look the same as the person," Adul turned his head back and gave a cynical look.
"Who?" ask me again curious.
"Kokom, Tea. I am ashamed to meet him. Adul has a crush on him uh end even fight, jam*bak-jam*bakan."
"Choon Kokom!" I looked towards the terrace and waved my hand. As expected, Adul immediately panicked and misbehaved. He walked backwards without being careful. And when he turned to run, he hit the chicken noodle cart that was running.
"Ouch!" moaning Adul held his forehead. I saw him in pain, feeling guilty at once.
"Sorry, Dul! Teteh becanda. There was no Kokom," I said unwell and held back laughter.
"Huh, Inoxu Tea was a prank," he complained as he rubbed his forehead, as we walked slowly, into Radio Rebel. There was no sight of Mr. Obi, in the guard post we passed.
"Eh, Aa handsome can't be healed?" asked Kokom at the doorway, when we had just sat on the sofa, and made Adul again look wrong.
"Annu ... That ... Huh, Kom. Adul is healthy" he replied.
"Where's the big fringe, A?" ask Kokom again.
"Huh?" Adul's face was misbehaved, plus confusion because Kokom's speech made me smile widely.
"Kokom's hearing equipment is damaged, so if you want it to be clearer, write it on your phone," I explained. Adul followed my advice and showed his phone to Kokom.
"Alhamdulillah if you are healthy. Kokom's in the seneng."
"Cie," I put it on Adul, whose face was flushed. "Cupu ah! Just got there, the face is red!"
"Back!"
Our attention was distracted by Kang Utep who was walking in the parking lot and waving towards Kokom whom I saw returning his wave.
"Now!" exclaimed Kang Utep as he arrived at the terrace, giving a small paperbag.
With a face full of question marks, Kokom sat down and began to open the contents in the paperbag, under the inquisitive gazes of me and Adul. "Well! Is this tea for Kokom?"
Kang Utep nodded.
"Makasi many Kang Utep. Kang Utep is the most considerate of Kokom. Kokom is very bright," he said while wearing a new hearing aid that he took in a small plastic box.
"Together, Kokom. I join the seneng if you are smiling," replied Kang Utep wirily while smiling. Unexpectedly, Kokom also returned Kang Utep's smile with a blushed face.
"Ah well," I said slowly while leaning back, and looked towards Adul who was staring at the two with a face of a fisherman.

"Standby! Adul, standby!" fun Remi.
Adul laid his head on the broadcast table in a doldrums.
"That's why if you're not healthy, don't go on the broadcast!" said Gia while patting Adul on the back.
"Diem ah, Tea. Adul again this lemes," he replied without changing position.
"Udah don't be disturbed. Let me just broadcast," my timpal grinned.
"Why the hell is he?" Gia asked.
"Regular, young man. Adek, love is not always beautiful, adek," I replied literately, by following the sentence that was viral in the Tiktok application. Gia just nodded and went back to her desk.
"Xu, standby! 3, 2, 1, on water!" Remi gives aba-aba.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Inoxu present from the studio two Story of Midnight Radio Rebel Bandung 12.08 FM. For the next hour and a half, I will accompany the rest of the listeners all with a presentation of the story from the source," I opened the broadcast. I was shocked to see Adul who suddenly stood up and left the studio.
"One song, Yulianti Tobet's request from D'Paspor with Love In Prayer will open the story tonight. Happy listening, and stay tuned continue."
I turned off the mic, not long before Adul re-entered the studio. His face looked radiant, unlike when he came out just now.
"Woi, please contact the source," tell me.
"That's necessary, Tea. Temen Adul someone wants to be a source."
"Really?" I looked at him in wonder.
"Take a. Nih, Adul hyputin first snapped yes," he said while pressing a row of numbers on the computer. Before long, he asked someone at the end of the line to wait, then started singing cheerfully, following the song that was playing.
I chuckled at her behavior before my attention split, as Kokom leaned his head against the studio door.
"Here-here!" call Adul who makes me and Gia look at each other.
"Teteh, said Aa handsome kalem, Kokom can watch the broadcast," Kokom explained to Gia.
"Yes may, here sit down," Gia nodded and pointed at the empty seat in front of her.
"Pantes ngedadak girang. The broadcast was cemented with Kokom dong," I said staring at Adul with narrowed eyes.
I just nodded and focused on the song that was almost done playing. Quickly, I brought my face back to the mic.
"That's him D'Paspor with Love In Doa—."
"And at the end of the connection, we've connected with our sources yes yes!" Adul cut off my broadcast, so I pinched his hand tight.
"Hello, with whom?" I asked the source when Adul grimaced in pain.
"Hello Inoxu Tea! Hello handsome Kang Adu! This is with Kekey in Palasari."
"Please Kekey, what story to share with the audience?" ask again.
"I don't want a story, Inoxu Tea. But want to express a sense for someone close but far in the heart" Kekey replied.
"Asik" I said spontaneously. "Mango, Kekey." I invited and was smiling amusedly, when I saw Kang Utep enter the studio with a tablet in his hand, then give the tablet to Gia.
Instead of going back out, Kang Utep raised an empty chair and sat down next to Kokom, which made me spontaneously glance at Adul, who was also staring at them with a sharp gaze.
I pinched Adul again and gestured by pointing at the headphones I was wearing.
"Please tell a story, Kekey. Adul has not been patient want to be horrified," he said spontaneously.
"Makasi Kang Adul's. So, I'm tea yeah, got an old tea. We attend school in High School. And I haven't seen you in a long time.
At school, I was really geeky. Handsome guy, cool ass! The point is really nyebelin. Some time ago, I met him at the mallem market. Pangling, Tea, Kang. Because my temen appearance is now very cool! Plus, he says he's now a radio announcer."
"Well, just as rich as Adul dong?" adul.
"Yes, Kang. Hehe. Duh I'm so embarrassed," Kekey chuckled.
"Why are you ashamed? Nothing, continue the story." I said in an amused tone.
"Well, ever since I found out that I'm a tea radio announcer, I've been watching the broadcast, and that's really cool, Inoxu Tea! I gasped for his voice, kept on being in the shadow of his figure which is now so cool. Duh, really fell in love! I want to say baby, but I'm ashamed."
"Cie," my god. "From appearance down to heart huh? By the way, which radio broadcaster? I know him once."
"Oh, I'm stubborn" Kekey replied.
"Gini deh, if for example a radio broadcaster that has made you stubborn again with this broadcast, what would you say?" I smiled widely and looked at Gia and Remi who had been holding back laughter.
"You said that I was a great tea. So she likes him. I dig-degan every malem if he heard the broadcast. Want a sense of belonging but I'm ashamed" Kekey replied.
"Haha! You're not going to be that kind of poet, Key," I said with a laugh.
"I'm ashamed of Teteh. He must have heard my words."
"Then anyway? Sure?" I started to wonder.
"Yes Tea. The guy's right now again broadcasting the same Tet. Adul Kang."
I gaped in disbelief and turned towards Adu who was smiling widely. His eyes glanced towards Kokom and Kang Utep who were also gaping in shock like me.
"Oh my goodness Kekey! Adul does not think that you like the same Adul. Very sad," said Adul.
"Hehehe, yes Dul. I love you, I want to meet you, you tea now meni handsome pisan," replied Kekey who almost made me laugh bru*tal.
"Yes, Adul will take you to the mallem market. Anyone else want to be sipped bemore Kekey?" Adul smiled at Kokom.
"That's it, Dul. Then pick up Kekey if you want to go to pasae malem. Inoxu Tea Makasi. The drug!"
"Yes Kekey, you're the same?" I replied while staring at the monitor, where it would appear that Kekey had disconnected.
"Well, this Midnight Story is special, isn't it? Our announcer, Adu, got a feeling expression from his old friend, you know," I said amusedly. "When it's ready, treat it, Dul?"
Adul raised two thumbs to me.
"One song I'm going to play, as the ending of this Midnight Story, asks Adelia Kirana of Naff to Finally Find You. Wih, really fitting the song for Kekey same Adul! Finally, thank you for being with us for an hour and a half. Inoxu, Adul and team please leave. Have a good rest and always take care of your health! Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."
I turned off the mic and took off the headphones before getting up to Gia's desk. Adul himself still smiles happily in the chair, after removing the headphones he wears.
"No, Kang Utep. Kokom said what too? Aa Adul mah has no feelings for Kokom. No, he's just as fun."
Me, Gia, Remi and Adul who were still sitting, stared at Kokom with question marks.
"Where does that mean?" ask Gia.
"Kokom tea from the first work here, like Kang Utep. Kang Utep is good, attention is also the same Kokom, never flirtatious. That's why, Kokom fell in love with Kang Utep and invited him to date.
But, Kang Utep said, he doesn't want to. You see, he said, Aa Adule has the same taste of Kokom. So it's not good, Tea. Though Kang Utep said, if he also has the same taste Kokom. Now you know, if Aa Adul likes it the same. So, Kokom can date Kang Utep," explained Kokom with a sparkling face.
"Yes, Kokom is Utep's girlfriend now?" connect Kang Utep with an almost inaudible voice.
"Aah!" Me, Gia and Remi complained.
"Yes Kang Utep! We're going out" exclaimed Kokom, suddenly taking Kang Utep's hands, and holding them in front of his chest.
Pork! Pork! Pork!
A loud voice suddenly sounded, making us all turn in shock towards Adul who had an anxious face and convulsions himself in his chair, because he saw the intimacy between Kokom and Kang Utep.
