Between You and My Parents

Chapter 4 Forecast

Bad days give me inspiration and experience. An experience that taught me about patience, sincerity, being the toughest woman. Experiences that taught me not to be prestigious. Not feeling arrogant because the kids out there are still more tormented than me.

The moments of the phase are tired with life at home. Finally I can take a break from that home activity. I'm grateful this time I'm free from the Crescent and Grass problem. Because I started to study at the University in East Lombok. It should be not far from campus.

The mother-father of the boarding house, and her children were so kind to me. I also have friends and friends who are no less good than the owner of the room. My days have changed drastically.

Even though I'm holding a scythe. But I was never ashamed in front of people, in front of my friends. Or in front of my girlfriend. This is me a woman without prestige.

"Dindaa, what are you doing at home?". Ask my best friend Yuni as we cook at the post waiting for the next lecture hour. Coincidentally because Yuni does not cost. He used to come home to me to not go back and forth when there was an afternoon lesson.

"Keep bits for cows". I replied casually, with a slight glance.

"Haahaahaa.-where do I believe.- hands as smooth as that can be mashed grass." Yuni laughed in disbelief.

"When you come home." I took her with a little smile.

"Emm..-When I'm on vacation, I can't believe it". Yuni replied laughing.

"Eh.-- let's eat. Mienya is already so". Yuni held a bowl of noodles for the both of us.

We ate it because we had not had breakfast when we went to college this morning. Yang finally invited me home to cook. Because we have another lecture hour at 14:30 WIB.

"Bay the way, how many months haven't you been home?". Yuni asked who opened the conversation while eating.

"10(month)I guess." Reply calmly.

"Horkhorkhork..-Yuni choked and took a drink and drank it immediately..

"Slowly". I said smile.

"You really? Yes allaaah. You don't miss your family?". Yuni was surprised because I never came home.

"Kangen,.-but how to go home if not picked up.dad-mother same tantaku can not use a motorbike. It's all busy. Adekku (Roy) is busy at school". Reply potluck.

Because Roy is now in 3rd grade High School. And Ani my 3rd sister is already Junior High School 2 and then Safia herself has entered Kindergarten. Of all my brothers only I entered the boarding school. Because of lack of intelligence.

"Yes tomorrow if I have anther holiday". Said Yuni offering herself.

"Ready buk". Salute to my best friend.

We clean up the food containers scattered in the cost. Then let Yuni take a shower first because she was very long if she took a bath. I waited while fiddling with my phone.

"That's it..---.

"Assalamualaikum..-you've left for college?". What's up from Hadi

"Waalaikumussalam.nih want to go". I retaliated. Smile because one week is gone. Uh even nongol again.

Hadi was my lover since 3rd grade High School. He taught me about love, my love was so great for him. His life included a simple person.But rather lack according to him, that's why he was forced to go to Malaysia to meet the needs of his family.

I dated her 7 months after that we had to date LDR. Although 7 months of dating we only ever met 4x. It was just face to face removing the longing in front of the school gate and then go home because I was always picked up by Roy.

"He is very different.- telphon is rare, sms is also rare, my chat is almost only read if the message has been answered." I grumbled to myself.

"Maybe it's time to forget. Because I don't want this LDR to keep hurting my feelings". I said daydream

"Make there". Yuni's words spread my daydream.

"Ihhhh..-- Like it so much ngagetin". I said while throwing a pillow at Yuni.

"Who told daydream.- later you can be late."Yuni laughed.

I stood up and went to the bathroom next to my room. In the bathroom I again remembered Hadi who somehow changed his attitude.

Until I'm Semester 5 waiting for him hoping he'll come back like he used to be a little nelphon if not text, or chat. If I returned it a long time ago it would have been a lot of calls. But now he is a little bit of a bitch.

After I finished the shower, I went in to change clothes. Seeing Yuni opening her laptop playing her favorite Korean movie made me shake my head.

"This kid is somewhat similar to one of the Korean players. He just loves watching that movie." My words that he did not speak because he was too focused or indeed he did not hear.

"There's an incoming message on the phone." Yuni's speech that focuses on watching. I took a handpon and saw the incoming message

"What time are you coming home?." Ask Hadi

"Finished prayers asar as possible". I replied with a feeling of wonder.

"I'm ready, let's go". Take me to Yuni who I am ready for.

"Let's go". Yuni said by shutting down and closing my laptop.

While I was kissing the boarding door. My telphon tone sounded.

"Hallo..--assalamualaikum pak korti (call of class president)."

"Lecturers can't come today. So we're off". Say korti to me. Yuni and I are excited, we can continue watching Korean drama movies again.

We went back to the cost, then reopened the laptop and looked for a Korean drama movie. We watched azan ashar.

"Din..-I go home first yaa". Yuni after the ashar prayer.

"Yes, you're careful with the bike." I answered while driving him out of the parking lot.

" Ehhh very quickly go home ndu?". Said the boarding mother who is often near the parking lot because Yuni often parked in front of the kiosk of the boarding house.

"Yes, I'll be here early tomorrow." Yuni who smiled politely to the boarding mother.

"I'll take you home for a minute". Yuni said which made me smile a bit.

"Yes wish it was." I answered and Yuni left me. I went inside and started looking around at the phone looking for numbers.

"Assalamualaikum..-w !!! Healthy mom?". Ask my mom after my phone is picked up.

"Alhamdulillah. Good mom, when are you coming home, son?". Answer the potluck mother.

"insyaallah tomorrow buk, I go home with my best friend Yuni that I told you about . Oh yeah, my dad and brother are healthy?".

"Alhamdulillah, your father is healthy your sisters are also healthy..--- oh yeah how is your college son?". Ask my mother.

"Alhamdulillah just go smoothly buk !". My answer.

"Yes, I'm gonna cook for dinner tonight." I said I wanted to close the call.

"Yes, son". Say mother.

I turned off the telphon after saying my regards. And I take off my phone and I'll get ready to prepare some food. But my phone rang, I saw no Hadi. Between happy and not because every time he nelphon innannya just fight.

"Hallo. Assalamualaikum". I said I finally answered the phone from him.

"Waalaikummussalam, dek..-I'm waiting at Pancor's park now!". No rain, no wind

"he met? When's he coming home?." I thought in my heart.

"Now?" When...------ I want to ask already cropped".

"Yes. Don't ask too many questions". Say it and turn off the phone.

I also walked a tight path that was not too far from the cost. I walked around the park looking at her figure there. "Where are you ! Did he lie to me!". Say it by walking through such a large park.

I called but was not picked up by him, that's why I had to walk through the park by myself without anyone accompanying me.

"Hi.-why behind me makes me shocked.

" haaah. This is really sister hadi, right?". I can't believe that in front of me right now is my LDR lover.

"Let's go there". He took my hand and took me to the middle of the park where there were many people sitting looking at the view of the garden in the afternoon.

"Sit down." His words allowed me to sit in the garden and order three glasses of young coconut ice.

"Whose one for?". I wonder.

"Friends". Answer

" sister when is mulan?". I said, still wondering and wondering.

"About 3 days ago. Because I'm abis to someone's house. And past your boarding. Yeah, I stopped by to see you on purpose". He said as if he thought I was just a whip of a friend he wanted to meet.

"Ooh..-- I said and drank a glass of ice that had been delivered. "He thinks what I am. Then he won't let me know if he doesn't get past my boarding". I was thinking negatively in my heart.

"That's it". Hadi's brother pointed at his friend. My heart was already pounding because I assumed the friend the girl meant.

"Hi bro..-For a long time no see." He said from behind me. Turns out he's a guy, and he's my college-level brother.

"Hi.- by shaking hands with each other. His friend sat down near Hadi's sister and introduced me.

"Know, this is Dinda. Dinda this is my friend Dodi in the village. Your older brother was also on the campus." Said brother Hadi.

" hi's.". I said and replied with a smile.

We talked a lot, joked, and laughed together in the park as if the park belonged to the three of us. Until finally Brother Dodi wants to see the line of my hand and the line of Kak Hadi. I stuck out my hand and Brother Hadi happily stuck out his hand as well.

"It looks like you guys aren't gonna be a match". Said Kak Dodi now became stiffened.

"Allah's fool arranged". I replied casually - because I knew this must be their plan. As if it had been arranged.

I did not feel the slightest taste to Brother Hadi because my feelings that I first met were so hot than now that seemed ordinary when I met. I haven't seen each other for so long, almost 3 years.

"I'm sure you'll be separated tomorrow. One of you will get married and one of you will be disappointed and cry.". Speak to Dodi with a serious look.

"Hahahaha.- I never believed the prophecy". My words are not deacons. If that's true. Most married to Hadi

Try you think brother Dodi sahabatan with brother Hadi. They're one village, one Rt, one Rw. After all from my previous quarrels, from his change of attitude. I'm sure there's a third person in my relationship with Hadi's sister.

"Well, if you don't believe". Brother Dodi said more relaxed. Brother Hadi just kept quiet.

"Yes already.-- I went home first. Later sought after kaka kos." I say goodbye to them.

"Yo, that's it". Said Hadi holding my hand.

"Later you nyesel. Look at your boyfriend for a long time before he became an ex". Said Dodi's smile.

From his smile I am sure that Brother Dodi knows everything that will happen because he knows something about Brother Hadi.

"Sorry.- sorry but I don't have time." I pulled my hand and walked away from them.

At the cost I thought that it was time I forgot Hadi's brother. She always let me down, and cried every time she called me.

"Forecast..---huh. They think I'm as stupid as that can be played with. Bodong's prophecy." I said in the room while preparing dinner.

I don't care how many years I've been with LDR. It's up to him to get married, I don't care anymore. I let him go with someone important I'm no longer hurt by him.
