My love is just one
24. "Smazy but deceitful

As bitter as my past is, he is the best person in my life!"

*****

Jessy was stopping a cart of greengrocer who was passing in front of her salon when Handoyo's black car parked next to the fence. The man smiled at Jessy's confusion and told the food seller to make one plate that was the same as the one ordered by Jessy.

"Whether the mas came here early in the morning?"  Jessy was astonished to see the man wearing only a black t-shirt and brown shorts step into her courtyard.

The impatient Jessy immediately shouted "Mas, the salon hasn't opened yet!" What's going there?"

"I just want to hitchhike vegetable lontong... and it looks like it would be nice to eat in front of your salon?" Handoyo said casually while looking around and then stepped on the front porch of the salon "Where is your weird friend?"

"Jenny mean?' He lives nearby... later maybe at 8 o'clock he comes? wh why? Yesterday was a chattering in shampoo with him now his name?" Cherocos Jessy while carrying two plates of vegetable pennies for herself and Handoyo breakfast.

Handoyo picked up a plate of vegetable sandwiches and found it a little strange that Jessy had simply placed the dish on the table on the porch. 

 The woman went inside the salon and a few minutes later came out with two glasses of warm tea for a vegetable lontong.

"This is why you came here so early in the morning ?" Want to apologize to my friend, right? He's actually a good guy, just sometimes a little bit overdone, but he's a loyal friend, really , that's why I accepted him to work here and fortunately he was skilled and quick to learn, many customers who like massage if shampooed or creambath by Jenny.

"I'm not looking for him.I'm actually just hungry and want to find breakfast nearby, then I see in front of your salon there's a greengrocer and I think all of you eat here...... oh yes I want shampooing like yesterday.but don't be the same Jenny, just like you!"  it's actually Jenny's job that's the shampoo part huh?"  Handoyo asked as she continued to chew her food.

"Yes..he is good ko mas, do not behave like yesterday, even though he is a little different, we must still appreciate it... he had enough suffering.

"Hmmm..... " Handoyo was so finished immediately asked the vegetable lontong maker to make another portion for him. "You want to add more?"

"No, thank you!" Jessy was amazed to see the man finish the meal quickly and still add another serving.  "Are you hungry or doyan mas.?"

"Harap is. From yesterday afternoon I did not eat...

"Mas..I don't know your name.we are funny you know.have been chatting ngidul but don't know ... my place of residence but I don't know anything about you. It doesn't matter either... But when it does, we're friends don't know names?"

"Handoyo.. You can call me Han!" I'm gonna get bullied like two days ago, Jess!"

"Ohhh.... You want to go home? So let your wife be happy..if you come home will definitely look handsome right?" Many of my customers who work in the factory also say that my hair cutouts make them different from the scissors in other salons.... right, you want to pull?"

"Two months later, maybe I'll go home to see my wife .. You live in the salon here alone?" where's your family ?"

"Yes I was alone, sometimes my brother came to see me, he worked in Jakarta ... My father became a labourer there in Arabia, my mother died two years ago after the failure of my wedding..... I don't know what my status is? It's legal to get married but my husband went with his first wife ... So people say I'm the second wife, and he said my marriage was annulled because we tricked him. Akh damn it is me.. You must be loyal to your wife, mas !" Sick to know if you're being tricked!"

"Hmmm... " Handoyo's voice is short."Have you ever met a man who cheated you after that?"

"never really wanted to meet him... he taught me to take this skill school and salon course and he also made me proud of myself and dared to open this salon.... his only fault was that he lied to me that he had a wife and he lied to his wife. "Jessy told me slowly and while looking forward.

Jessy's gaze was empty and unaware when the greengrocer picked up the dishes and received a payment from Handoyo. Handoyo watched Jessy who was still dumbfounded and patted her shoulder slowly.

"Jesss... "Handoyo called Jessy and made the woman regain consciousness of her calling.

"he has a sixth sense... ko can be fooled that's it?" Lying is it ?" Handoyo smiled looking at Jessy who still looks like she has not returned to the real world.

"I did not lie deh.. gini deh... mas Handoyo think of an important item and imagine the item now . How's it?"

"Why would I lie to you and it just so happened that the item was guessed exactly?"

"Imagine it's a specific thing, a valuable item and maybe it's a secret.I can't even go to Han's house... take it easy...now Handoyo mas just sit back and sit quietly here.. then imagine the item ... the item is quite valuable and the item is please put somewhere.... "Jessy said quietly but very firmly.

Handoyo initially looked at Jessy doubtfully, then Jessy held onto Handoyo's burly arm. The man closed his eyes .. and suddenly Handoyo remembered he was carrying a long sword weapon and a cepot mask that had been washed in the Ogan river a few days ago.  Both objects were carried by Handoyo and put in a wooden box in a Jeep car that was just sprayed by udin. Handoyo immediately sat in the middle seat of the car and fell asleep exhausted.

Momentary silence....

Handoyo then opened her eyes and felt her arms being held by Jessy. He looked at Jessy who was looking intensely at him. The woman smiled sweetly in Handoyo's eyes.

" Now listen to me. You don't have to answer it, just keep it all in your heart, what I see in your mind... and you carry a long sword and a red thing, I do not see it clearly.... both of them Han put them in a wooden box in a green car. I don't know what kind of car it is.... But I make sure it is green, how? "   Can Handoyo believe in my abilities?"  Jessy said calmly.

They looked at each other sharply and Handoyo looked at Jessy with a look of admiration. "Why do you want to meet the man who tricked you?"   Did he ever fuck you and you want him to take responsibility for his mistakes?" You want someone to beat up and avenge your heartache?"

Jessy shakes. "I just wanted to ask her, has she loved me as long as we were together or has she ever done anything for me sincerely or as people say... he just wanted land in this area.... " Jessy said with teary eyes.

"huh..you're crazy and stupid, Jessy!" Handoyo shook his head listening to Jessy's answer outside of her logic.

"I'm crazy and stupid.I think it's just as dear as that guy.... I used to not use logic when I was with him .. That's what my mother said when she left me. when my mother had opposed it and said there could be no marriage because she was not my soul mate.... and as a result my mother was sick to death...... " Jessy was crying.

Handoyo was confused to see Jessy crying hysterically, until a voice reprimanded him and made Handoyo turn to the source of the voice.

The woman came and walked over to Jessy.

"hey.. jerk guy..had made Jessy hurt, now you made her cry..." Shouted Jenny who just came directly rebuking Handoyo.   Jenny immediately approached Jessy and hugged her tightly and let Jessy cry in her arms.

"Tell me Jess... What this man did to you.liar gini-gini I can still beat him up!" Jenny still hugged Jessy who was crying sobbing.

"It's not her. I just feel guilty for my mom. Now she wants to be bullied by Jenn!" can't it....

"Ihh.. sori ya.. I don't want to touch her head.. You're Jess!" Jenny releases Jessy from her arms and goes inside the salon leaving Handoyo still confused.

"sorry .. I don't mean to be rude. I'm sorry, Jess!"

"Yes not papa.

"But you're the one with the shampoo, Jess ?"
