From Bali With Hurt

-RADIO GA GA was quiet that afternoon. This is because many broadcasters are on leave. The announcers on Radio Ga Ga really like to be sassy. Middle school and high school students are already on holiday again, eh, they also ask for holidays for the reason that they are hereditary. Hihihi. What this means is, they want to relax but have to be with the school children so they can join in the fun and wash their eyes. So when there is Eid, when they should be allowed to take leave, they are reluctant.
"The leave will be later, ah, if it's during the children's school holidays," said Ucup when he was offered Eid leave.
Yes, that afternoon when Vienna came there there was almost no one there. Apart from Vanya, who is chatting on the soap box, er, broadcast box, there is Adin, a new security guard whose job is to interrogate guests.
"Hey! Neng, Neng, Neng! Wow, it's like the bell for recess. I mean, Neng, where are you going to meet, and where do the leeches come from? I mean, where do they come from?"
Wina, who had rarely been reprimanded by security guards since she was little, was shocked for the rest of her life by Adin's questions.
"Who is this Neng and where are you going?"
-"I'm Wina, from home and want to meet Vanya!"
"Oh, so you're Vanya's fan? Want to ask for an autograph? Wow, you can't do that, Neng. She's currently broadcasting and can't be bothered. Or, Neng, just wait here while chatting with me. I've never been chat with you."
"What the hell, you, you? That's the title of the song!"
"What song?"
"We are the sampean, yes we are the sampean!" Vienna imitated the reggae song We are the Champions.
"Hihihi, Miss, I can do that. Oh yes, I'm Adin, the new security guard here. I originally wanted to apply to be a Radio Ga Ga broadcaster, eh, but instead I was told that I was more qualified to be a security guard."
"Look, Mr Ad..."
-"Ah, no need to use masan. Just call me Bung Adin."
"Look, bro... kusan, I'm Vanya's close friend!"
"Why, why is it a package, anyway?"
"After what?"
"Brother Adin!"
"Hmm, here's Adin's package, I want to meet Vanya right now."
"Brother Adin!"
"Oh yes, so it's like this, Brother Adin, which is like a package, I want..."
"Bung Adin, Bung Adin, Bung Adin, Bung Adin! Hik hik hik, Bung Adin, Bung Adin..." .
"Yes, yes, Brother Adin. Come on, don't cry. Eh, I can come in, right, Brother Adin?"
"S-okay. Hik -hik hik, but Bung Adin, don't forget Bung Adin. Hik hik hik, yes Bung Adin, once Bung Adin is always Bung Adin. Long live Bung Adin...!"
And when she arrived in the broadcast box, Wina immediately screamed with joy. This is a characteristic of Vienna when you meet Vanya. Always screaming. It doesn't matter where,
in the market, on the street, also in the broadcast box. As a result, Radio Ga Ga listeners suffered heart attacks.
-"Vanyaaa...! GreatVanya, I'm allowed to go on holiday to Bali!"
Wow, Vanya is really surprising. The thing is, Vanya has always wanted to spend her holiday in Bali. Vanya is happy. Vanya was so happy she forgot she was broadcasting.
"Really, Win? Wow, success, bro!"
"That's rightVanya."
"Oh, Bali, wait for the arrival of this beautiful and beautiful angel. I will definitely come. I am coming!"
"HeyVanya, you're still broadcasting, right?"
"Yes, envelope, I almost forgot. Eh, sorry. Hello, listeners, I'm really sorry. I've been wanting to go to Bali for a long time. I didn't know it would be possible now. Oh yes, if any of you want to contribute, add to the cost You can go, just send it to Radio Ga Ga. Really, I'm waiting, you know!
"And before you send the donation money, I want to give you a beautiful song from Lois Lane, It's the First Time. So that you really want to donate. Bye..."
Vanya really wants to go to Bali. So much so that he was left to save his pocket money and broadcast fees. And the most important thing is that Vanya has succeeded in poisoning Papi and Mami to lower their holiday permits to Bali at their own expense. Papi, who is basically a pain in the ass, agrees, as long as he doesn't waste his money, which he always hides in his smelly socks.
Meanwhile, Mami gave permission because Vanya threatened her with a strike to take her to the fitness center for exercise. Of course Mami is confused.
Yes, Mami really likes going to exercise alone. Apart from the fact that the fitness center is far away, Mami is afraid of being thought to be following a fad. That's why every time you come to fitness and someone asks, "Do you want to exercise, Auntie?" The mother is always annoyed by answering, "Ah, no, I'm just carrying my child."
"Well, why don't you just join in gymnastics, Auntie?"
"Ah, I'm already a mother, it's no good. Besides, I'm embarrassed."
"Why, why are you embarrassed? Instead of having a fat body like that, it would be better to join in gymnastics. If you can be slim, the children's aunt and father will be happy."
"Ah, the father of the children actually likes the fat ones, really. That's it, I want to do gymnastics first, eh, sorry, I want to take my children to gymnastics."
Even though Vanya is the most lazy when asked to do gymnastics. Even at school until now, Vanya doesn't know any physical fitness movements.
And at the fitness center, Vanya's job is just reading magazines.
What about Mum? Wow, I'm really enthusiastic about losing that balloon-like weight. Uh, speaking of balloons, yesterday Mami was invited to man the stand at PRJ. Incidentally, the battery stand needs lots of balloons to decorate the stand. Hihihi, of course Mami refused.
"Well, the pay is small, really!"
***
-The next day Vanya looked really bothered. He seems to be starting to get ready. The big bag was already filled with all the equipment. In fact, Vanya hijacked Papi's suitcase, which he usually used for work, to put his underwear in.
"So you don't get scratched easily, Pi."
"But what do you do for workVanya?"
"You can use Mami's shopping bag, Pi!"
Eh, but it turned out three people were leaving. Vanya, Vienna, and Jordan. Jordan is Vienna's guy who she met at Musro.
Vanya was a little surprised.
"Let someone look after youVanya," reasoned Wina when Vanya asked why she had to bring a boy.
"Eh, Win, if the intention is just to guard, why don't you just bring a German shepherd!"
According to Vanya, just going alone is enough. But when Vienna whispered that Jordan was willing to share spending money and add extra pocket money, Vanya was willing to let Jordan come along. Moreover, Jordan has three types of credit cards that can guarantee that if you run out of money in Sono.
Vanya, Wina and Jordan have been hanging out at Soekarno-Hatta Airport since six in the morning. Even though the plane leaving for Bali will only go public at around ten o'clock. Vanya's reason was to be more satisfied looking at the plane. Before that, Vanya had never seen an airplane except a telephone!
And at exactly ten o'clock, Vanya hurriedly boarded the plane after waiting in the waiting room and was called by a spoiled voice from the microphone.
"Wow, maybe that's a former announcer," Vanya guessed when she heard the sweet voice.
Inside the plane, Vanya's face was radiant. He deliberately chose a seat near the window, so he could wave goodbye to Papa and Mami at home.
To be honest, why does Vanya want to go on holiday to Bali? Apart from wanting to know Kuta Beach, she also wants to take a plane. This was Vanya's first time on a plane.
When the plane's engine roared, ready to take off into the air, Vanya was a little surprised. I didn't expect the plane engine to sound so loud. Vanya gripped the arm of the chair tightly while her gaze never left the window. Vanya indeed
Have you ever heard stories of planes crashing or exploding as they were leaving the runway?
"Welcome, all passengers. This is a Garuda Indonesia plane with flight number G 007. This plane is led by a pilot, not a driver, let alone a Bajaj driver. So hopefully safety and comfort can be guaranteed.
"Tighten your belts, eh, sorry, we mean fasten your seat belts while the lights are still on, and smoking is prohibited for those who don't have cigarettes.
"Okay, enjoy this flight without any worries. But don't forget to pray, especially if it's your first time on a plane. Yes, see you later with me. Frankly, I'm too lazy to join in, so I'll just wait here. That's it, according to the forecast the weather in Tipi last night, the weather along Jakarta-Bali was very bad, eh, sorry, we mean very bad! Duaaag. "
***
-Arriving in Bali, they stayed in a quite pleasant cottage in the Kuta Beach area. The large cottage, divided into several parts, is equipped with rooms located on the second floor. The interior is unique with Balinese carvings and paintings. Don't forget there is a swimming pool near the small bar with bluish water.
Vanya really likes it. The ride is also a bit crooked. They immediately booked two rooms on the second floor. Initially he only wanted to book one room, Jordan was asked to sleep in the bathroom. But Jordan sincerely refused. In fact, ask for more. Sleep with them. Vanya was immediately furious.
"Just delicious!" Vanya said.
Vienna herself was actually half interested. And I'm disgusted by Vanya's attitude.
"Why can't youVanya?" Vienna sulked.
-"Later, if things happen that you want, uh, that you don't want, it's going to be a hassle, you know!"
The atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable for a moment. Luckily Jordan finally wanted to sleep in a separate room.
The first event they did was a walk along Kuta Beach. Vanya wears ribbed glasses, a tight jeans skirt that is mini and casual.
"Wow, you want to flirt with foreigners, don't youVanya?" Wina screamed when she saw Vanya's appearance.
Vanya just smiled. The problem is that Vanya herself feels that her appearance is not as good as the foreign tourists who wear flip-flops and no bras. The three of them felt like strangers, because everywhere they looked foreign.
The one who looked happy with the sight was of course Jordan. His eyes wandered everywhere.
Meanwhile the sun was almost setting. A red tinge appears on the western horizon. Vanya stopped walking to enjoy the sunset. Vienna and Jordan
still having fun walking along the beach. They both look really familiar. Walk while hugging. Occasionally kicking a sand dune. Vanya is so uncomfortable looking at it.
Honestly, Vanya actually hates them. Jordan's attitude is often arrogant. "Because of that guy, the holiday atmosphere has become chaotic," Vanya cursed to herself. In the end, Vanya preferred to enjoy the atmosphere of Kuta. Luckily, the foreigners' often strange behavior was quite entertaining.
The foreigners were indeed going crazy. Speeding through the sand on a rented dirt bike. Or there are also those who drive open hood jeeps. Back and forth along the beach.
Meanwhile, in other parts, many foreigners lay down while being massaged, or had their hair tied into small braids like Ruud Gullit. There are also those who enjoy surfing. They seemed to enjoy Kuta Beach which was really comfortable.
Vanya also enjoyed. But his heart returned when he saw Vienna and Jordan's affection. Vanya felt like she wasn't being noticed.
-"Just because!" Vanya cursed loudly in her heart when the affection continued into the evening. Wina and Jordan went for a walk to karaoke across from their cottage.
"Why don't you come alongVanya?" asked Vienna when Vanya decided to stay in the cottage.
-"I want to rest. Tired!" Vanya answered briefly.
Wina's question turned out to be just small talk. The proof is that Vienna immediately left without caring about Vanya anymore.
Vanya became confused again. Even though the evening could actually be fun. Nightlife in Bali turns out to be much livelier. Small discos are starting to create a happy atmosphere. Pubs, boutiques and traders with stalls selling typical Balinese goods add color to the evening atmosphere.
And Vanya passed it all by reading novels on the cottage veranda. While occasionally making fun of foreigners who are having fun swimming at night under the dim lights of the park.
Until it was late, until Vanya was sleepy, and no one was swimming anymore, it turned out that Vienna hadn't come home yet. Finally Vanya decided to enter the room. Bobo.
Whether she was conscious or not, Vanya heard whispering at the door.
"Vanya, open the door, bro. "
Vanya lazily went to the door latch. Wina's face looked tired.
-***
-The next morning, they gathered in the dining room located in the middle of the cottage to order breakfast. Vanya chose toast, jam, tea and half-boiled eggs. Vienna only asked for chocolate milk.
Meanwhile, Jordan still hasn't woken up yet. Even though the Bali sun was already starting to sting. And that morning was not a cheerful morning. At least in Vanya's eyes. Yes, Vanya still has bad feelings for Vienna. Because last night, Vienna came home very late. Vanya was afraid something would happen.
"Win."
"Ol."
"I want to scold you, you don't have to call me, bro."
"SorryVanya."
"Win."
"YesVanya."
"Well, that's fun."
"YesVanya."
"What's wrong with you, Win? Why don't you come home so late at night? If you're doing anything wrong, I'm the one who's uncomfortable."
"My people just hang out at karaoke."
"Yes, but why did you come home until late at night!"
"Because I'm lazyVanya."
"I also know that you are lazy. So, why are you so lazy?"
"Wow, why, huh?"
"Well, how come you're so stupid, Win? Last night you went with Jordan and then how come you came home so late?"
"Maybe it's funVanya."
"It's fun! It's fun! Eh, Win, I'm your friend. If you do something wrong, I won't be happy with you. Besides, you're someone who never comes home late when you're going out."
"But I came home early in the morningVanya, in the evening of the new year."
"That's none of my business! What's clear is that I just want to remind you. If you're still naughty, that's up to you!"
Wina was shouted at as soon as she disappeared.
In the end, Vanya didn't feel good. Yes, actually Vanya just wanted to enjoy her holiday alone in Vienna. Want to have fun as much as you want, without having to have other people join in? Like that Jordan, he's already taking a ride, using it to cause trouble again.
And actually Vanya wanted to take me on a trip to Vienna last night. Want to be invited to explore the streets and eat seafood.
-Vanya also has the intention of inviting foreigners to talk to improve their English. And rent a bicycle the next morning while going around the tourist attractions.
But with Jordan, Vanya's hopes were dashed. Vienna can't be driven crazy like usual. Because wherever Vienna goes, Jordan is always there.
-***
-The second day, Vanya and Vienna were forced to look for each other. The problem is that their tastes are starting to become discordant. Vanya wanted to see dancing in Sukawati, while Vienna insisted on hanging out sunbathing on the beach. That's all Wina and Jordan did for the past two days.
Vanya started to feel confused again. Vanya finally went alone to Sukawati. Meanwhile, Vienna and Jordan have left since earlier. Previously, they had promised to meet this afternoon in Tanah Lot. Watching the sunset.
But when Vanya arrived at Tanah Lot at five o'clock, Vienna and Jordan weren't there.
"Oh, what's the promise, kid?"
Vanya grumbled as she climbed onto the rock. Wait until the hair is curly. Until finally Vanya could only sit there, waiting for the sunset with the foreigners who were ready with their cameras.
When her heart started to get low, luckily there was a young French woman who she could chat with and chat with. But because they didn't understand each other's languages, they spoke p-kee in sign language mixed with a little English. And Vanya was annoyed when the foreigner asked about Vanya's activities.
Vanya explained with hand movements that she meant announcer.
"0, so you're a farmer, huh?" Guess the foreigner is good at English.
Vanya, of course, was furious.
"You're so stupid!" Vanya cursed loudly.
The funny thing is that the foreigner even smiled sweetly. Maybe he thought Vanya said he was handsome.
-***
-That day Vanya and Wina were already on the plane again heading to Jakarta. Jordan did not accompany them. Feels like a tense melancholy. Wina cried uncontrollably.
-Yes, the holiday period was forced to be accelerated. All this because of Jordan.
"I'm sorryVanya, I ruined your holiday," said Wina in a huff.
"Ah, no, Win. But what actually happened?" Vanya tried to calm Vienna.
"You bastard Jordan!" Vienna's emotions emerged again. "That Col Gepeng is getting more and more naughty. His desires are getting more and more unreasonable. He actually feels disturbed that you are taking part in this holidayVanya."
"He said that?"
"That's not much. There's something even more serious. How can he say 'that's the way'!"
"Ha?" Vanya was stunned. "So what do you want?"
"What crazy? Of course I refused. But it turned out that that made Kol Gepeng really angry. His speech became really rude. Finally he left me. I was called a prostitute. I really hurt my heartVanya. That's it, he deliberately teased me. with foreigners in tow, and didn't come home last night."
Vanya shuddered. "Just forget about guys like that!"
"I actually love him to deathVanya," said Wina, starting to calm down. "I hope he will love me forever. But his behavior really disappoints me."
-"Ah, that's it, that's it. Guys like that are a lot. They only have looks, but their morals are messed up."
-"YesVanya. I regret not listening to your suggestion to go on holiday just the two of us."
Vienna started to calm down a bit. Contemplating looking at the clouds outside the window. A flight attendant handed out food boxes.
"Win, I always remember there is a wise saying from the West," Vanya said again while sprinkling cream into her coffee.
"The people you love most are in the best position to hurt you. The people you love most, are in the right position to hurt you. Do you know what that means, Win?"
-Wina shook her head.
"This means, we shouldn't expect too much from other people. Don't love other people too much. Because those we really love, will easily hurt us. Play with our feelings. And we tend to leave everything to the people we love. I don't "I want that, Win. That's why I always limit myself from giving my whole heart to other people. I'm not willing to be disappointed, Win."
Vienna fell silent,
Then he hugged his friend tightly. "Thanks for your adviceVanya."
"You want to forget Jordan, right?"
"I actually hate himVanya."
"So your status with him has broken up, right?"
Vienna nodded.
"Then ask for Jordan's phone number, please!"
"For whatVanya?" Vienna was flabbergasted.
"Who knows, after breaking up with you, he might be interested in me." Vanya answered lightly.
Vienna was stunned. Then he shouted, "Vanya is a rag, don't do things like that, okay?"
The two then giggled in unison. Very hard. Making the whole plane turn towards them.
