Start the morning by going to school on your own. The matic motor that had been so full I left, finally driven again alone. Morning streets that look crowded smoothly in fact can not fill the emptiness of a Dara's heart. Full in the eyes, but quiet in the heart.
"Ah, crazy!" I shouted while pulling the gas in my right hand. Not even a day, but it feels not strong to want to meet the doi.
Parking is still safe. Deliberately come not too early to be able to go home as soon as possible from here. The phone felt vibrating to coincide with my hands taking off the helmet. Without seeing the name of the sender, I already knew that the incoming message was from someone I missed.
From : Ayang
Work first, yeah. Pray well.
Not caring around, my hand hurriedly swept across the phone screen. Afraid Bagas didn't get to read my spirit injections.
^^^For : Ayang^^^
^^^^Amin. Will always pray. The spirit brother, yes. Adek wait from here. GBU.^^^^^
From : Ayang
Deg-degan, but the stimulation of looking for money in the future for Adek, nih, so it must be spirit. wkwkwkwk
^^^at lUntuk : Ayang^^^
^^^Well, right. Think, aja, again training for our future^^^^
From : Ayang
Great spirit too, yes. A school that focuses.
^^^For : Ayang^^^
^^^Siap, Boss.^^^
From : Ayang
Brother'S IN. - I'M in
The last message with a heart made me smile. Intake of love vitamins that cross the limit, anyway, this. Mobile phones suddenly become an important item at every opportunity, but usually we are not so-so very.
The message exchange continues as the break begins. Brother Bagas who already knows my schedule then make a video call connection.
"Bother, right?"
"No, dong. It's even nice to call this." Glad to see the face of Kak Bagas at the official house.
"No, we're not going to have Thursday off."
That first piece of information made me smile. Monday to Thursday, it won't be long. Just a few more days. We were able to meet sooner than expected. Wonder, but the child's health. Definitely will not get a weekend off like an office worker.
"That means you can go on a whim, dong?"
He couldn't possibly forget his promise, right?
"could. Brother's coming home, yeah."
"When the clock comes out?" many ensure.
"Hm, no. He said it was still arranged. Why?"
"No." I shook my head while smiling knots.
Previously, I wanted to ask for Kak Bagas service schedule. Not meant to be possessive, yeah. I just wanted to know the hours he was busy working so he could refrain from texting. Yes, the point is to avoid overthinking if at any time Kak Bagas long reply to messages.
"Do you see?" He offered.
"Now. Later if the schedule comes out, tell me, yeah."
"Ready, Honey. Uh, briefly forget about asking. Why are you still in class?"
"Ah, that's ..adek drop food to Riska. So wait for them to come, just."
"Kirain is not bad because he called brother."
Yeah, indeed. I refused to leave the class because I was more concerned with the doi's phone.
"Anyway, big brother. Don't eat late."
"Sister too, yeah. Don't eat noodles anyway."
"It looks like boiled noodles are the final choice if you are a big brother. If not, brother will eat in the canteen RS, aja."
"Good food?" I became curious.
"So just tried karedok, anyway. It's a regular taste, but it's five-star."
I chuckle. "Comprehension means?"
"Yes, it's expensive. Yeah, maybe because it's in the mountains. So, far away to everywhere."
Not long after that, my food order came. The menu that became the mainstay today is nasi uduk.
"Tumben doesn't eat rice padang" said Kak Bagas after seeing me receive a packet of rice.
"Yes, here. The rice paddies make someone miss."
"Duh, there's a heavy miss like a big brother." He even grinned happily.
"Well, isn't that bad there?" Of course I pretended to sulk.
"His parents were arrested for Thursday. If not, then you'll run away from here."
“Huh, what a lie! Brother can't escape now.” I underestimated.
“Use events is impossible. Big brother, you know, run away from here for Adek's sake."
“No going dare!” I said firmly. “Police everywhere, most also if you want to run away wait night or dawn.”
Realizing that I had a point, he laughed. A class of him who was reckless also must have thought twice that the police were patrolling. Afraid of the moge being evicted, isn't it? Not long after from my speech, a man with a different alma mater patted Kak Bagas on the shoulder.
“I first, yes, Gas,” said.
“Which bucin takes time, Gas,” joked the guy.
“OK, okay, pause. I said it first with Ayang.” Bagas looked back at the screen. “Kakak enter first, yes. Just give me half an hour's meal. Later connected again.”
After giving me a few sentences of encouragement our video call connection was cut off. I who did not want to be affected because of the difference in hours of rest also chose to focus on eating rice. Hah, when again kangennya. Eat together, now be alone.
“LDR risk, yes, Mom. Definitely gegana,” chirped Princess as usual.
“New a day, Gais. Let's see how strong this bucin couple resist longing!” Eren followed the mockery.
“It seems our eyes are safe, yes, Gais, yes. Three months of not seeing the romance of people,” timpal Riska.
“You guys are so happy like that, yes.” I tried to stay relaxed and not be affected by their ridicule.
“Definitely happy, dong. If there is no Ayang, right, you must play with us.”
My breath is heavy. Now I understand why they mock that. There must be something to do with me that is always ogah every time invited to hang out. Yeah, sorry. I am trying to save money because this month is my birth month.
“Out, yuk, Dara. Watch, so,” take Riska later.
“Hm .. sometime, aja, yes,” said I still do not want to be invited out even though I am far from a boyfriend. Seriously, this month I'm saving money. The plan is on your birthday, I want to invite Kak Bagas to eat well outside.
“Yes, Dara not exciting, ah!” princess Gerrutu.
“Iya, sorry. I'm frugal again. There are more things I want to buy.”

At night, Bagas really kept his promise. The video call session that was interrupted last afternoon was connected again. Already like a variety of soap operas, yes, there can be no word expiry, attempted to be continuous.
“Eh, really beautiful.”
Kak Bagas' eyes are round and sparkling. He knew there was a change in my face. Lucky because it was able to put some make up. Pretty, so get a compliment from Ayang.
“Iya, dong. Let the ones there can't wait to see adek.”
“Well, don't be, do it. Brother so real peg escape, nih,” lamented look pretended sulking.
“Sabar,” said when the heart also ketar-ketir. “Tuesday soon.”
“Eh, yes.” Sis Bagas who seemed to remember something moved from the screen. My ears caught the gravel at the end of it, so soon he reappeared. “Schedule sister already exists.” He showed me a piece of paper that contained hours of work while in the hospital.
“Adek can ask?”
“Make what, Honey?”
I smile. A little embarrassed to explain. “The plan ... the schedule will be fine to make as a benchmark.”
“Potokan?” Brother Bagas frowned.
“Hm-s. Let me know the rush hour Brother, the same let me not disturb the working hours Brother.”
Bagas even relaxes the sitting position until his back is leaned to the head of the mattress. “Darling, don't kayak that. Adek girlfriend sister. Adek has the right to disturb.”
“Mot.” My head shook. “Our responsibility is great if in the field. If until Brother does not focus on work because of chat disorders from adek can be kebayang, no, the risk is as big as what?” He who was silent made me again said, “Adek do not want the feeling of this kangen turned into a nuisance let alone to make Brother get punished.”
“Honey,” call him suddenly.
“What, Honey?” I rarely call him my darling.
“Whoa, yuk!”
“Apaan, anyway, Brother,” spray me because from yesterday he kept making that joke.
“Sister is applying now, his marriage is eight years to come. Can, can't?”
Spontaneous I laugh. There is, yes, something like this? Lamar today, his marriage is eight years away.
“Serious,” he said that helped hold back laughter. “Adek is too beautiful for detelasin. So, mending brother lamar now let not first people. Marriage business, can we title eight more years.”
“Why eight years, Brother? Why not two more years?” I think it's too long to wait eight years.
“No pharmacist lecture plans. It's okay, isn't it, honey?” He said a condescension.
Hearing that he already had future plans, I became interested in hearing more deeply. “Another year, right, Brother passed SMK. Pharmacist college took five years. The total time you need is only six years. Why is he counting eight years?”
“Two years left to bring Brother to work. Brother wants to collect money for marriage, keep the rest to make a house. Thank goodness for the excess money. So, we can make a pharmacy so that there are additional coffers of cuan.”
Ah, Oh my God. Thank you for showing Kak Bagas, the man who is right for Dara. He had even thought of the steps for the future.
“Because, sister kepengin mature first before inviting Adek marriage. Mapan or non-establishment affairs, brother sure Adek want to nemenin. Yes, right?”
“Ah, not really. Kok, Brother PD very,” candaku.
“Yeah, it took ten years, dong, if Adek wants older brother established first.”
“Kok, the longer, anyway? Can't it be accelerated?” sue me, even though I have no problem with him who is established with ordinary.
“Can, aja, accelerated. That is if there is an old man's hand. Only brother does not want to be helped by the fathers. They have Baim who still costs a lot. So, as much as possible you have to arrange the time so that they are also helped.”
“Two accept.”
“Hah?”
“Become,” my ul dogged.
“Receive what, Dek?”
“Not that Sister married, huh? Come on, let's get married. Even if it really takes eight years too, come on!”
“Adek will not nyesel wait brother?” He looked softly.
“No, why do I have to cash out? Adek also waiting will not be while diem. Later adek can lecture, work also.”
“Seal, yes? Brother keep, here. No DP, no transfer.”
