Zeline looked at the time on her handheld phone after it exhaled a rough breath. “Yeah I forgot. I ‘nya home late, already four o'clock past, reasonable class Vindra is empty,”
Zeline circulated her eyes staring into the other classrooms whose doors were open and displayed a silent atmosphere within.
“Ah yes I have called Vindra first to mastiin he has gone home first or to another place waiting for me. But usually I wait in front of my class,”
Zeline called her boyfriend's phone number immediately, but there was no answer. Zeline sent a message as well because her phone was not answered.
“This is what I want ya, Vindra love clarity I go home alone does she come home with me? If if he is already at home, it means I go home alone is not a problem,”

“Yeah, Auntie is so happy that Anin finally stopped by here. It's only been a few days in Jakarta now, son?”
“Hehe, yes sorry, Aunt. You're school, keep going home from school directly to the apartment, uh even yesterday was sick,”
“What is the state of your feet? Still sore yes abis wound hit that motor,”
“Oh no really, Aunt, it's been improving really just still sore anyway, but a little bit kok,”
“What do you want to drink?”
Anin's arrival was greeted so warmly by Rina as Vindra's mother. Indeed Anin has been awaited by Rina who said she missed her son's best friend since childhood. After several years of not meeting face to face, finally can now be reunited with Anin.
“Oh no need, Auntie, I've had a drink. Don't bother, Auntie,”
“No hassle, drink what?”
“Yes I've been drinking water, Auntie,”
“Bentar Yes Aunt to kitchen first,”
Rina rushes to the kitchen while Anin and Vindra sit on the living room sofa which is in the Vindra house.
Anin surveyed the surroundings then smiled. It turned out that there wasn't much change from Vindra's house.
“I still know your home, not much changed ya,”
“Iya, most replace the interior design, not much different from the previous,”
“Yeah I haven't been here in a long time, Vin,”
“Where? You happy with not?”
“Banget dong, I'm more happy to see Mama you are also happy to meet me, very friendly welcome me,”
“Yes sure, Mama's people already you mute. Mama said that Mama already misses you. Finally you came today,”
Rina came from the kitchen with a tray of drinking water and brownies. He immediately allowed Anin to taste it.
“Let's eat the same drink first yuk. You suddenly came. Aunty there is no preparation, you know,”
“Yeah, this is more than enough, Auntie. Coincidentally there's my favorite brownie huh,”
“Eh yes, you ‘kan like brownies huh? Wow what a coincidence Auntie made this earlier again, eh Alhamdulillah you came,”
“Rezeki good boy, I'm really happy to be part of brownies made by Auntie,”
“Hopefully you still like those brownies that Auntie made. By the way you are still beautiful, haven't changed since. The most status that has changed, yes?”
Lina asked with a nosy look on her face. His eyebrows were raised down and smiling sumringah towards Anin.
“I mean, Tan? What status?”
“Status dating or single?”
“Oh that, duh Auntie was wrong, Tan. I'm still single,”
“Ah is real? Any timing? Beautiful people like this when they don't have a boyfriend? Auntie, can't believe it?”
“Ngapain ya not single alias dating if not happy? Yes mendingan single aja,”
“Well that's it, Auntie. I'm not chasing after a girlfriend, too,”
“But the time is right no one has a crush, Nin?”
“Emang none, Tan,”
“Begging Vindra. Occasionally double date deh same Vindra Zeline,”
“Later to find first deh, maybe slip my girlfriend candidate,”
“Money time ah,”
Anin and Rina had not met for a long time but their familiarity did not decrease in the least. The atmosphere is always pleasant, always warm when meeting.
“Eh my goodness I forgot. Zeline ‘kan I haven't picked up yet. Good thing Mama mentioned Zeline's name so I remember. Jeez, hopefully he has not come home yet,” Vindra from now on just quietly pay attention to the interaction between his best friend and also the mother. Hearing the name of his beloved called, He immediately remembered what He should have done.
“Ih how the hell is it? How did your own boyfriend forget? Yes, go get it there. Do you plan to go home together or how?”
Rina was shocked when her son suddenly stood up while patting her forehead softly. Lina could see there was guilt in Vindra's eyes as well.
“No deal just I want to pick him up. I go first yes, Ma, Assalamualaikum,”
“Waalaikumsalam, be careful, no need to speed. Call the Zeline first, maybe Zeline has come home,”
“Iya, Ma,”
Vindra has disappeared from the living room. His foot stepped quickly back into the car with his school aim.
As he began to speed, He grabbed his phone in his pocket but it turned out that the battery power of his phone ran out. Vindra immediately clucked and hit the driver of his car because he was upset.
“Truly yes, there is only one happening. I forgot to pick up Zeline, so now the phone is dead. Don't-don't Zeline have contacted me,”

Reta was watering the plant suddenly startled by the singing female voice. Reta looked over and it turned out to be her son.
Zeline came with a radiant face even though her fatigue could not be hidden. Then Reta's gaze leads to an online motorcycle taxi driver who is turning his motorbike right in front of the gate of the house. He could conclude his son was using the online transportation service.
“Assalamaicum, Mom. How's my voice? Good no?”
“Waalaikumsalam, very good. Mama's son's voice is always good,”
“Wuih Alhamdulillah can compliment. Mama diligently flush plants afternoon-afternoon,”
“Ah Kayak just knew her Mama. Sh by the way you came home by ojek online?”
“Iya, Mother. I'm sorry I got home late today, Ma. I have additional material just now,”
“It's okay. Vindra has gone home first so you are not together?”
Zeline shrugged both of her shoulders. He did not know what answer to the question of his mother. Because he did not get any news from his lover. He calls and sends messages but Vindra doesn't respond to any of them.
“Lho, did you not meet?”
“No, I ‘will be home later,”
“Means you've gone home first her Vindra?”
“Iya times, Ma,”
“You guys don't fight anymore ‘ right? How does your facial expression directly differ so fitting Mama asked about Vindra?”
“Nothing really, Ma. Actually I'm the same he has no problem, only I'm upset. It's okay if he goes home first, but he has no word, I'm not responding either. So I'm a little upset, Ma,”
