"Happy birthday" exclaimed the voice across the phone. Azka blinked, narrowing her eyes for some time before opening her eyes intact. He was awakened by the ringing of the phone on his cell phone. And now he is also surprised by the sound of wishing him a happy birthday across the street.
"Hey Deck! You still sleeping? or sleep again? Come on get up" That voice sounded so cheerful. Does he think it's morning? Azka kept the phone away from her ear. Take a quick peek at the time pointer on that screen.
00.02//Sept, 13
Azka widened her eyes. He reaches a lot of light so he can clearly check the time appointed there.
"Hello Deck?" the voice was heard again. Reminds Azka of the phone that is still connected.
"Eh, yes Brother" pause, Azka glanced again towards the screen. Isn't that right what he called Rasya?
"Are you crazy, brother?"
"Yes I'm crazy" Rasya chuckled
"Buck!!" It felt like Azka wanted to hit the young man's arm if he was next to her.
"I'm there my arms hurt" Rasya laughed. While Azka snorted in annoyance.
"Sister, I'm sleepy"
"Sir, make a wish" pinta Rasya.
"I want you here"
"HAHAHAHAHAA" Rasya chuckled in his place. Azka had to keep her phone away from her ear.
"Jeez, my ears!!"
"You know, far away Deck if I should be there now" Rasya's voice began to normalize.
"Yaudah, you have to make a wish!" Azka grumbling. "So I'm going to sleep. Tomorrow's college"
"Yaudah yaudah, good night" Rasya said without hanging up.
Instead of sleeping, Azka was awake. He tried to close his eyes but did not also enter the dream realm that had been interrupted.
"Sister?"
"Yes Dek?"
"Why not sleep?" Azka turned her body into her stomach on the mattress
"You wait until you sleep"
"Dih, less work!" Azka squealing tickled. "Who doesn't go to college tomorrow?"
"No. I'm gonna skip tomorrow. My girlfriend's birthday"
"Who is it??" Azka fisting
"You"
"Since when are you dating? not ah!" Azka giggled amusedly
"Some time and again why the hell Deck?" Rasha
"No way"
"Why don't you go to sleep?"
"Because you're not sleeping"
and all night they ended up sharing stories with each other. Talk until morning comes.
---
Since when did the world go like a story in novels? the main character can always have fun with his partner, walk together, spend time together, surprise each other. Which although very far away, He will have time to visit loved ones.
Azka is always crazy about romantic novels. But he would not expect that Rasya would suddenly be there to pick him up. Saying that for his birthday he would take a journey of eleven hours to meet Azka. That's not possible.
But a sentence behind the chat on Azka's phone changed everything.
- Rasya
Deck, I'm in front of your boarding house.
You where?
With lightning fast Azka immediately ran from his campus so that he could get to his boarding quickly. Heedless of his sore feet, or his heavy bag. The sweat wet his forehead. He was limped when he had to go through the uphill road to his boarding house.
He opened the fence, in a down position he was panting. He was looking for Rasya's whereabouts. There are no Rasha's cars there. There were no bags there. He reached into his bag full. looking for the whereabouts of his phone that he had just put originally.
He pressed the power button. The screen displays several notifications. One of them is the notification of missed calls as many as 11 times. He immediately called back the number. And the next second Rasya's name was written on the screen.
"Hello Brother!" azka's voice was almost gone due to exhaustion
"Huhuhuhuhuhu" Azka sobbed in place.
"Dec? you cry?"
"You must be lying, you're telling me in front of my boarding house?" Azka was still sobbing strongly.
"Geez, Dek!! You believe?" rasha almost laughed. But knowing the girl across the phone was still sobbing, she held her laugh with all her might.
"I cape" complained Azka with a sob still tucked between his words.
"Where are you from?"
"I ran away brother, from campus to boarding house! because you sent that message"
"So did Dek miss me?" Rasya.
"You even laughed! Pegel knows! I'm sad!" Azka was already in her room, laying down her body facing the ceiling of the room.
"Sorry Dek, I don't think you're going to be fooled. How do I know where you are Dek?" Azka Manyun, still silently listening to Rasya's babble behind the phone. "You forget I've never been to Bandung to your place?"
"I was too emotional. I thought you'd be so sweet like in those novels. Surprise love, suddenly appeared bring cake" Azka snorted softly. "I forgot it was only in the novel" Azka ended.
"PACKAGE"
Voice of the package from the front door. Azka got up, after permission on Rasya to pick up the package he left his phone in the room. With the phone still connected.
Azka was a little confused, feeling that he did not buy anything. He was not promised anything from home. He is not waiting for any package. So, who's the package for this?
The door opened, Azka peeked at the smiling parcel officer.
"Excuse me, package for Azkania?" Said the officer.
"Yes me?"
"This is the package" the officer handed him a small box with wooden packing. There is the name of the recipient. That's right the name, complete with the address and contact number are also appropriate. But who sent him?
"Please sign here"
After signing the acceptance note, Azka immediately headed for her room. He brought the package to the front of his phone screen which displayed the name of Rasya which was still listed there.
Azka pressed the loudspeaker button. Then speak from a fairly close distance.
"Sister?"
"Yes Deck" Rasya replied quickly
"I got a package" Azka cradled a package that was quite heavy in her hands.
"Open dong. From whom?" He asked with his usual soft voice.
"I don't know. How do you open it?" Azka researched every crack there. The package was very tight and difficult to open.
"Yes open" Rasya said casually.
"In the wooden packing Kak" Azka remembered a building equipment in the closet drawer that he left behind.
Over there, Rasya had already knocked on his head. Regretting the wooden packing that definitely made Azka difficult to open it. Long Azka said nothing.
"Kebukaaa" cried Azka from across the phone.
"Sister???" Azka shouted again. "This is from you???"
"Dek, how to yell" Rasya prevented Azka from shouting again. Otherwise, the ears would hurt. "Where? don't like?"
"Why did you buy me a new cell phone, brother?" Azka was excited, but she also hesitated to accept it.
"We're twins. I bought two. One for you, one for me" Rasya lightly replied, as if the phone is not an expensive luxury item to be used as a birthday gift.
"Seriously Brother???"
"Dek...don't yell!!!" Rasya stroked her ear which was already sore from Azka's voice across the phone.
"Sorry Brother.. hihi I'm so cool!!!" Azka smiled sweetly, unaware that Rasya would not see that.
"So, the surprise worked?"
"Ehem.. I'm really shrewd. Thank you Brother" Azka's tears that pierced without cue, making her voice a little raucous.
"Sir, are you crying?" Rasya noticed the change in Azka's voice.
"It turns out, living in the real world is more beautiful than just a novel story that is just fiction" Azka said slightly vibrating.
"Especially because there's you here"
"You know, keep going with me. Don't go anywhere"
