ALVIN Trying to Rise

First day

...Happy Reading ...

......................

What else are you doing, Tong?" ask Mr. Umar, who just came out of his rented house.

Alvin turned his attention to the man, he was quite surprised when he saw Mr. Umar only using a white shirt with sleeveless pants limited to the knee.

A pack of cigarettes and a match appeared to be in his hand.

Alvin smiled as he nodded faintly. "Get the wind, sir."

Alvin secretly saw the shape of Mr. Umar's body which still looks good, although his stomach is no longer flat, he also saw there are some small tattoos on his upper arm.

"Ngapain find the wind here alone, later a new satanic tambet tau taste, Lu!" Umar approached Alvin and sat down beside him.

"It's not possible, sir. Is there still a demon here?" asked Alvin while chuckling.

"Yee, you little boy! Do not think in the city kaga there are demons .. Even in this kayak city more setannye, hahaha!" mr. Umar said ending with a laugh.

Alvin scratched the back of his head, grimacing at the laughter of Mr. Umar.

"I don't think there's a demon here, sir. Because it's as dense as all humans, hehe ...." Alvin laughed a little.

"Don't count, Tong. In a city like this, people can become demons without dying first. Sometimes people are even scarier and more dangerous than demons."

Alvin nodded faintly, thinking of the meaning of Mr. Umar's words.

"Si Lukman to mane?" asked Mr. Umar, looking at the door.

"He wanted to hang out with the other guys" replied Alvin.

"Oh, most of them on playing cards in the post." Mr. Umar turned towards the front of the contract.

.

After a long conversation with Mr. Umar, Alvin went back inside and prepared to sleep.

He was standing at the end of the 120×200 centimeter bed that he had just laid on the floor.

Yes, before the mattress was placed standing near the wall, so that the room looks bigger.

There was only one pillow there, which must have belonged to Lukman. Alvin, who was not used to sleeping with others, hesitated a little.

However, he finally recklessly lay with his hands as his pillow, after feeling comfortable he began to close his eyes and sleep through the dream world.

Twelve o'clock at night when Alvin heard the door open, he woke up to see who was coming.

Sleeping in a new place, makes him more sensitive and alert. His subconscious is not used to it, making him easily awake, even though he hears something that is not too loud.

"You haven't slept, Vin?" ask Lukman who just went into the house.

"Eh, I did, Mang. Mama, just got home?" Alvin rubbed his eyes, forcing them to open.

"Yes. If you've been hanging out with others, like to forget the time," Lukman replied.

"Yes sleep again, I also want to go straight to sleep," continued Lukman again, as Alvin walked into the room.

"Yes, Mang" replied Alvin.

Alvin decided to take ablution water and perform the evening prayer first, before finally joining to lay down his body beside Lukman, who seemed to have fallen asleep.

Just an hour Alvin closed his eyes, his sleep was disturbed by the sound of purring Lukman quite loud.

Alvin tried to close his eyes and survive, he covered his ears using his hands, to muffle the sound, while turning agitated.

However, all that did not help so that he could sleep again.

Astagfirullah, I can't sleep anymore like this! inner Alvin, feeling upset. Alvin finally gave up, he chose to move into the living room.

Alvin picked up the sarong he had brought from the village, then floated it on the floor. He then lay curled up on it.

"It seems like this is more comfortable," muttered Alvin, as he began to close his eyes again.

It didn't take long, Alvin was able to fall asleep again. Perhaps it was because his body and heart were tired enough for this day, that they charged his master a rest.

"Where did you buy it? I just want to buy," said Lukman who was ready to work.

"In the front, you bought it together with Mr. Umar" replied Alvin.

"I'll bring a plate and drink it first" Alvin continued, walking straight to the kitchen.

Not long after that he returned with two plates and a spoon, as well as a cup of coffee and sweet tea as his drink.

"This, Mang," said Avin, after preparing breakfast for Lukman.

"Bareng, Vin," asked Lukman as he prepared to eat.

Alvin and Lukman had breakfast together for the first time.

"Where's the market?" alvin asked in between their breakfasts.

"Why are you looking for the market? Want shopping?" ask Lukman.

"No, Mang. I just want to buy something. Later also fitting OSEK like to be asked to buy a strange," replied Alvin.

"Well, you're only riding the angkot once" Lukman explained the direction to the market.

Alvin nodded, after quite understanding where the nearest market was headed.

After Lukman went to work, Alvin went to the market, he bought carpets for temporary bedding and some other supplies.

The day just passed, Now it's time for Alvin to go to campus and undergo OSEK on the first day. He was still preparing to wear his final high school uniform.

"Well, are you going to college, Vin?!" ask Mr. Umar who was sitting in front of his contract.

"Yes, Sir. Do it well, sir," replied Alvin.

"Definitely! I'll sono later, Lu, late." Mr. Umar slightly pushed Alvin's shoulder, after Alvin kissed his hand.

"Assalamualaikum," said Alvin, while directly walking away from Mr. Umar.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Mr. Umar.

A few moments later Alvin arrived at the campus where he was studying. Fortunately, yesterday when he visited the campus, he had met with the staff who took care of the administration and scholarship, until now Alvin did not need to go there first.

Alvin ran a little from the bus stop when he realized he was almost too late.

Yes, fortunately he used to keep his father's watch, until now he can use it again.

When Alvin had just arrived at the parking lot suddenly from behind there was someone who hit him quite hard, so Alvin almost fell down.

"Oh, sorry-sorry!" said the hitman who turned out to be a woman.

"Yes, it's okay" replied Alvin, glancing at a glance and then continuing his steps.

Unlike Alvin, the woman was surprised to see the man she had just hit.

"You?! You went to college here?" The girl immediately approached Alvin and walked beside him.

A fine frown on Alvin's forehead was visible, he looked back at the female face beside him.

Have I ever met him? Ah, it doesn't seem, inner Alvin.

"You remember me, right? The one on the bus at the time," said the woman again, trying to remind Alvin of himself.

"I borrow the bus fare! You remember that, right?!" The woman spoke again.

Alvin looked at the woman beside him, his appearance was very different when they met a few days ago.

Today, she looks more feminine and neat.

Meetings are sometimes forgotten in the blink of an eye. However, we will remember it if the meeting continues to repeat itself, until we get used to being together.
