Darwin didn't care at all about the chatter between the girls and his friends. He just sat enjoying a cup of coffee that he drank little by little. Until the two girls had to go home because their parents had called. "Mas Darwin, we are going home first."
"Yes carefully," Answered Darwin.
And soon two of his other friends joined them back together because their girlfriends also came home. Naturally, it's already 11 pm, and parents who care about their daughters will tell them to go home.
"Which one is Win, your choice, the 'Koplak' is also good at choosing girls, where did you get Plaque?" Bagoes asked casually his two friends who he thought were no longer single.
The Koplak he called was named Jerry. A man who is humorous and likes to annoy his other friends. Sometimes what he says can be trusted, sometimes not. "I found it on the side of the road and I brought it all here so that Darwin wouldn't be gloomy anymore. Because of one night's love with the blonde aristocrat, uh, I can't even forget. Never mind Win, there are still lots of girls like that," he explained.
Darwin was not at all interested in discussing this. He thought more about what his child would look like if the beautiful woman was indeed pregnant.
"Win!"
"Bastard!" Darwin gasped in surprise until his legs shot up when his three nosy friends surprised him by tapping him hard on the shoulder.
"Thinking what?"
"If she is pregnant, my child must be handsome or beautiful," said Darwin
"Weleehhh! Win, Win, you can make it again with Gladys. It's beautiful, Win, her thin lips want to be pinched," said Jerry while promoting his choice.
It's hard for him to find a girl with blonde hair through his social media. And the two girls were recommended by some of their friends in cyberspace. He thought Darwin would be happy and forget about the noble girl, but it turned out that Darwin was not the least bit interested.
"Win, if your child is indeed made and the results are very good then what do you want? That will be his right."
Darwin shook his head, "That child will be a disgrace to his family, it's impossible to admit it. So I'll ask him if they don't want to, I'll take care of it myself," he said firmly and without hesitation.
Darwin was ready for the consequences of what the neighbors said and he would contact Greeshawn just like what the handsome man had promised him.
The problem with a life partner is that he will look for someone who will accept his child and love his child wholeheartedly. Expecting Louisa to be his wife was impossible, Darwin realized to himself.
"Win, taking care of children isn't comfortable Win. What's more, you work in a garage. You don't take care of your child and it's best if you get married first and after that, you take your child," Kresna suggested. This man has only been listening to the conversation and finally concluded the root of the problem that occurred.
However, his opinion was rejected by Jerry. "Weiss, you can't do that Bro, where are the wives who want to accept suddenly there is a foreign-looking child at their wedding? Especially if the face is like the one that came yesterday, Win, Wow, really handsome, like a Prince," he said and his two friends who others were curious as to what the man looked like, and sadly no profiles are discussing him on the internet.
"Come on, let's go home tomorrow, I'm going to Bali, do you want to come with me?"
"What, seriously want to go to Bali, pay for the ticket Win."
Darwin took a deep breath because he was going to Bali on a long road trip to save on flight costs, besides he likes to enjoy the long trip. "Win, wear what Win!"
"Use a rickshaw!" Darwin replied while shouting leaving those who gaped. A rickshaw is a local transportation tool that is pedaled like a bicycle and in front of it, there is a seat for 2 people. Usually, it is often used by tourists to go around the city.
"Seriously he wants to go to Bali using a rikshaw, that kid is crazy!"
"Win, you're stressed Win!" shouted Jerry while running away because he had not paid for the drinks he ordered, while Darwin had already put down Rp. 50,000 on the table to pay for the drinks, even though it's still more.
"Eh, it's just Darwin's money, wow KOPLAK is so great," Kresna said excitedly.
"What a bastard!"
Bagoes complained as he slapped his forehead with Darwin's bill.
Darwin had made up his mind to call Greeshawn's number. The man did say that if he lived in Bali, however, it was impossible for Darwin to suddenly come without giving news, and then the man could not be contacted, so his trip would be in vain. Darwin will be away from the workshop for one week and in one week it means he will not get any money because the shop is closed and the customers run to the next-door shop. Automatically it becomes a big calculation for him.
"Hello,-" It didn't take long for the man to answer. As long as the communication signal was good, he immediately explained his reason for wanting to meet the man because talking on the phone might be a long story.
"Okay Darwin, I will wait for your arrival, and don't book a hotel because I will prepare a special place for you," said the man on the other side.
"Okay Sir...." replied Darwin and was quickly interrupted by Gree.
"Gree, just call me like that, okay-" he begged.
"Okay Gree, thank you," said Darwin, nodding.
He was so used to talking to people face to face that his gestures matched what he was saying. Darwin prepared the clothes he was going to put in his backpack. Shortly thereafter someone knocked on his door and he knew who it was.
"Just let me, Mom," he prevented her from leaving the room in a hurry.
"Who else is visiting early in the morning," the mother grumbled and went back into her room. Darwin opened the door without peeking, Jerry saw his uneven row of brown teeth, making Darwin gulp his saliva and open the door wider. He entered and went straight to Darwin's room.
This man always wanted to know what Darwin was up to. Especially when he found out that Darwin had a scandal with a noble daughter. Jerry didn't want to miss every stage of Darwin's life starting from the hotel coupon he gave him. He forced Darwin to take him to Bali because Darwin needed a friend if he were to be attacked by the rich man's bodyguard. With a heavy heart, Darwin finally agreed to the idea. Afraid of being left behind by Darwin, he came before dawn so as not to be tricked.
"Win you have to bring toy guns, at least to defend yourself," he said and Darwin shook his head. "Come with good intentions and the results will be good. After all, later if we are examined, it means that we are thought to have bad intentions."
"Well Win, how about slingshot Win, let's say we want to hunt birds, that's it," he asked again, never giving up on persuading Darwin to prepare himself for the dire situation he had in mind. Darwin was constantly forced to carry weapons of all kinds, both traditional and toy, to defend himself. Darwin takes care of the friend and then sleeps with his back.
***
In the morning, Darwin and Jerry were ready to go. They have breakfast first. A cup of coffee and a bowl of boiled noodles plus an egg.
"Win where are you going?" asked the mother who served breakfast.
"There is a new job offer, mom," he said, lying so that the mother would not worry like his friend who always thought badly of those people.
"Where?"
"Balinese," he replied.
"Far away," said the mother slowly. Her face looked gloomy and Darwin's hand was stroking the mother's slightly bent old back.
"If so, you will come too. I can't possibly leave you alone here," said Darwin and this old woman smiled as she hugged her only son. Darwin was all he had all his life. After finishing eating, Darwin said goodbye as he kissed the back of his mother's hand and hugged her for a long time.
"I'm going Mam, " he said.
"Take care, hope you reach your destination safely and without a hitch."
"Me too Mom, Thanks for the breakfast," said Jerry while doing the same thing with Darwin. When Jerry turned around, how shocked he was when a black car stopped right in front of Darwin's house and Darwin opened the car door. Head Darwin signaled Jerry to go in first. Jerry, who was a little shocked, walked slowly while scratching the nape of his neck which didn't itch.
"Quick!", said firmly Darwin in a low voice and eyes widened. Jerry got into the car behind and Darwin sat in front. He didn't want to be considered a boss by the person who picked him up.
Darwin thought Jerry wouldn't ask too many questions when they weren't sitting next to each other but he was wrong. Jerry even asked if they would go by land or plane or rickshaw which Darwin said.
The driver who understands the language used by Jerry, he is only smile without explaining where he will be taken. Because Jerry couldn't speak English, Jerry didn't dare ask the driver. After a few minutes, they entered the airport area and what made Jerry gawk again, the car barged into the runway area.
"Winn how come to Win, what ticket did you order Win?" The car stopped not far in front of the plane's steps.
Darwin came out and someone who was suspected of being the pilot of the plane greeted him kindly and invited Darwin to get on the plane. Darwin didn't care about Jerry anymore. It's up to the friend to say what because he could not say a word. All of these facilities were requested from Greeshawn who would serve all his needs if he wanted to meet him.
