Of course, everyone there knew quite well what Aldi meant. They smiled to hide their laughter. Maybe not for Ely who is still a minor.
"Hey, man!" Aldi said to Ryan. "You want to switch rooms with me?"
"You, bad brother," Ryan laughed smugly.
"Bad brother you said?" a pair of eyebrows on Aldi's face almost knit together.
"Ely," Ryan said while pointing at the little girl beside Aldi. "You brought her. Now, Ely is your responsibility, man. So, no thanks."
"Argh, whatever!" Aldi snorted loudly as he waved his hand until it slipped from Ely's grip. He walked towards the door of the room that had been given to him.
The automatic door hissed softly and slid open to either side.
"Wait for me!" Ely jogged after Aldi, the door hissed again and closed.
"I need a bit of freshness," said Cinnong, wagging her collar. She looked at the two crew members. "The water in the bathroom should have worked, right?"
"Of course," said one of them.
"Great, thanks." Cinnong smiled, then she disappeared into her room.
Boris and Yuma scramble into the same room. Their goal is to get the bed they want first.
"Hey…!" Yuma snorted because he lost quickly to Boris who immediately jumped onto the bed at the bottom. "Come on, Lae, you just take the bed upstairs!"
"Why should I?" Boris chuckled. His Papuan friend always called him that. Lae, in the Batak language, can be interpreted as dude, man, mate, etc. "Just take the one on top, bah!"
"Hoi-hoi-hoi!" Yuma glared with his hands on his waist. "Are you blind, hmm? I'm bigger than you, taller. You should know more about this already!"
"So?" One of the Batak man's eyebrows rose higher looking at his friend. "What does that mean for me, my friend?"
"Oh, you stupid bastard!" snorted Yuma who became slightly irritated. In the end, with a half-grunt, the black-skinned man made his way up the stairs to the bunk above. "Whatever! If this bed collapses and hits your head, you know how you feel! Don't blame me when that happens!"
"Argh…" Boris snorted and then laughed. "Just like that, and you immediately sulk. Get down here, down!" he said as he got off the bed. "You got the below, let me be on top."
Yuma chuckled happily, he jumped down the stairs.
"Damn it!" Boris sneered as he climbed the stairs. "Why don't you just shrink your body? You almost look like a giant, you know that, huh?"
"This is great," Yuma laughed without paying any heed to Boris' words. "This is how a friend should be. You're a good friend, Lae."
"Conch!" Boris snorted as he lay back on his back and was greeted with even louder laughter from Yuma.
Outside, left Naomi, Ryan, and the two young women of Captain Dharma's men. The girl who will share the same room with Ryan still shows a slightly flirtatious attitude towards the bespectacled man.
Ryan smiled in response. She was beautiful, he thought. It's just, why do I get goosebumps?
"Okay, guys," said Naomi who was hiding her laughter towards Ryan and the girl. "Just enjoy your hot room, my friend. I will catch up with Cinnong."
"Yeah, sure!" Ryan snorted softly in response to Naomi's sarcasm. He looked down, rubbing his head. "What else I can do?"
"You look forced?" said the girl as she approached Ryan. "I'm just happy to have you with me."
"Of course, you feel happy," said the second girl. "The man who will share the room with you is handsome like this one."
While the two girls were talking about him, Ryan could only clear his throat and smile while scratching his head again.
"You want to switch rooms with me?"
"Oops!" the first girl giggled. "It won't happen!"
"Yeah," the second girl smiled blandly. "I already guessed."
"Hey," Naomi said as she was about to head to her bedroom door. "What are your guy's names?"
"Me, Tyana," answered the first girl who was excited because she was going to be rooming with Ryan.
"And me, Suzanne," said the second girl.
"Naomi," said Naomi, and she pointing Ryan. "You already know him, right?"
Both girls smiled.
"All right then," said Suzanne. "Now, you guys get some rest. Ermm, maybe take a bath. We will return to the main cabin."
Tyana seems to still be flirtatious, standing in front of Ryan, smiling at the man with a red face. Suzanne was already giving eye signals, even poking her shoulder. However, Tyana seems to be hypnotized by Ryan's figure.
"Hey…!" Suzanne was forced to pat Tyana's shoulder hard with a bit of annoyance.
Suzanne dragged Tyana to the main cabin, even though Tyana still protested because she wanted to accompany Ryan to bathe in their room.
"Suzanne, please. I'll catch up with you later!" Tina protested. "I want to rub Ryan's back."
"Rubbing his back or rubbing his crotch?"
"Yeah," Tyana smiled. "You know what I mean."
"You flirty girl!" Suzanne giggled. "You can do that later. Now, we have to clean up everything in the main cabin."
"Suzanne!" despite screaming like that, Tyana's gaze was fixed on Ryan with one hand outstretched as if asking to be saved by the man.
Ryan could only smile and shake his head in response to something that was slightly beyond his estimation.
Anyway, my sleep tonight will be much more exciting, and warmer, he thought as he looked towards the end of the corridor where Tyana and Suzanne had disappeared.
"How long have I not made love?" Ryan muttered to himself.
"I guess," Naomi finally managed to laugh more loosely. "Tonight you will work hard and wet, Boss."
"Good grief!" Ryan said a little gasped. "Why are you still outside?"
"To be able to see that expression of yours, my friend!"
"Damn you!" Ryan snorted with a slightly red face. "Come on now, don't laugh at me! I'm going to my room to take a shower. My body feels a little hot and musty," he said again as he walked towards his bedroom door.
"See you later, Yan," said Naomi, and then disappeared into her room.
