ABHIMANYU WORLD

Chapter LXXIII: New Spirit

New day, new spirit.

That's how I felt when I opened my eyes this blind morning. The spirit is explosive, because a few more weeks of practical work will be over. That is, the distance with graduation will be closer. I can't wait to wear the toga, standing in front of my mother and Weni feeling happy.

Of course, to grab it wasn't as easy as flicking a finger. After practical work, I had to struggle with the final task, do a lot of metal testing or create a masterpiece. The challenge ahead will be huge. Armed only with optimism and prayer, I will strive through this.

Bismillah!

Suddenly I remembered Darwis. How's that bitch doing? Is she okay? Should he run according to the procedure, I'm sure there are no problems with the practical work he is doing. Due to curiosity, I called Darwis' number. I hope he wakes up.

Thou shalt!

Thou shalt!

“Eh, Abi. Tumben you called? Kangen yes?” greet Darwis across.

“Again, Mblo! Do I want to check if you're alive or not? You have no news since practice. Or maybe you've already hooked a girl there?” my word.

“Alhamdulillah, I'm fine Bi. Glad I'm here. Mr. Inspiration is very good with me. That's Lusi's husband, right? Lusi singih Pak Ilham. You lost a lot to him!” dervish Ejek.

The sentence was very striking and made a furious. Comparing me to the Inspiration of Ramadan is certainly not something that is apple to apple. Age is obviously different. He was born first to the world, achieving success first, of course is commonplace. While I still get college, still get rations from parents. Surely very different.

There is no character of the Dervish!

“Damn you, Dar! I'll call you!” my sift.

Dervish laughter rang out across, making the feeling even more wry.

“Eh, are you ready to go? How's Dahlia doing?” ask Darwis blindly.

“After a shower. I still lie here. Dahlia is fine. Phone yourself there!”

“I'm busy, Bi. After work practice is always cape. After that work on a mountain report. The call time is almost non-existent. Anyway that's it. Have a lecture, Bi?”

“Yes, Mblo! But if we go out of college money, if our work is paid,”, I said.

“Emang you can salary huh?”

“Ngak. But there is a lot of knowledge and experience that we can take from there, Dar!”

“About you, Bi!”

I chuckle.

Wh-tok-tok!

My bedroom door was knocked. I'll end the conversation with Darwis soon. Outside it was still a bit dark, the morning air was still biting on the skin. Who knocked this morning on the door?

Oh, it's Andre.

The parasites looked lackluster. While looking for me, there are certainly important things that he wants to convey. In my shadow immediately drawn some figures of beautiful girls in the life of Andre. What other story was he going to tell this time?

“You're not in a hurry, are you, Bi?” Andre.

“Ntar again I want to take a shower. You why? How sad?”

“Yes that is, Bi. This continues the story of yesterday. You remember that I told you that Inneke complained about not coming to the moon. I'm worried anyway.”

Andre nodded weakly.

“How to?” manya curious.

“They said, we should get married soon. They do not want to tarnish their family name. In the near future, his father Inneke asked my parents to come to the residence of Inneke,” said Andre sadly.

“Good dong! Why sad? Happy news to you!”

“Crazy you, Bi! I'm not ready yet. You think getting married is just coming to the KUA's office and signing in front of that penghulu? If that's all I want. But then we are obliged to live. Giving a living is born inner. If the mind is okay, I'm ready!”

Between anxiety and annoyance I responded to Andre's words. Long time ago he did a forbidden thing with Inneke ever think long about this was it not? Why is only the inner living in his brain? I thought his mind was just buried in sheer inner pleasures. Really, I don't know what to say.

“Keep what you want, Ndre?” my many.

“Ya least wait. Three or four more years until I get a decent job, just think about getting married. Lah, this has not been asked to marry people's children. I'm going to panic. Not to mention my parents would also be angry if they knew all this!”

“Three or four more years? Then later big hunt dong your son. You keep telling Inneke to raise your son alone, is that it? It's really you Ndre. You have planted a seed in the womb of Inneke, and now you tell him to take care of the child alone and bear the shame alone!” my growl.

Andre was silent, trying to digest my words. His face was getting restless. Actually I understand what he's hiding in his heart. Andre must have objected to the commitment of the wedding, because actually still want to adventure, alight from one flower to another. Marriage is the bondage of her freedom.

I'm not guilty. Go ahead, while you're young. With notes, do it responsibly. Inneke's problem was of course the risk he had to face, not even running away from him.

“You would have told me that I had to convince Inneke's parents that I wouldn't run away from responsibility. I did it!”

“Terus they sure aren't? Ndre, if I were Inneke's parents, I would do the same with them. Who the hell would want his daughter touched to be left that way?”

“I won't leave him, Bi!”

“What guarantee? People who have been tied to marriage alone can die, especially those who are not. Unless you can let go of your Joni, keep staying for Inneke!”

“Joni? What the hell is Joni?”

“That hangs inside your pants!”

“Damn it!”

While the day has turned towards noon. I was very forced to end the heated conversation, because I had to leave for practical work immediately. Andre is still not satisfied, but I promise again to discuss this matter at a later time. With his face still filled with worry, he exited my room.

“Quiet aja, Ndre. Everything will be fine!” I said encourage.

Actually there is a sense of pity to see Andre who is being hit by such turmoil. I don't think it's a problem. It is precisely this complexity will be a valuable lesson for him. I know, the main problem here is that Andre's freedom will be taken away. He wasn't ready, because so suddenly. The night world might be dimming. The parties around him will be over soon.

Andre is from a family. So college does not graduate does not matter to him, because there are parents who can afford to take his life, or can just call his father's connection to work where he likes.

That me?

Of course it's the opposite. I had to slam my bones in order to survive this harsh life.

That's life.

Sometimes we don't have to be ready for something that happens in life. In my heart, I compare it to what happens on my story sheet. No longer do I focus on the endless monkey love story. You need to focus more on your real life goals. I'm no longer a high school boy who deals with romance with just any girl.

It must be decided immediately, whose heart is most appropriate to anchor this long quest.
