CHAMELEON
Logic of common sense
“Han..?” Fitri was waiting for an answer from across the phone. “Can I talk to umi?”
“Umi sleep mbak.” Sahut Raihan who finally made a sound.
“Then why are you calling these nights? Same with mbak?” Fitri teases her only sister. Welcomed laughter Raihan.
“When can I go home?”
“Not know deck, mbak still chasing overtime,”
“It must be in the operation of the legs, there is a slight blockage in the blood vessels in the brain. It is not enough to just take the drug as usual, must immediately be done surgery to avoid a stroke that can be sudden.” Silent...
Raihan did not hear a voice from across the phone. “Kakak, still there?”
“Iya..” sahut Fitri lirih. He was confused as to what to answer. Paycheck and overtime during this time he always sent for his umi blood washing fee every two weeks also for the needs of his parents. There was only a small amount of savings he collected each month.
“When does the doctor set his schedule?”
“Raihan has not dared to’iya’ kak, Raihan must ask permission with his sister first,”
“Do your best for Han's brother, let brother know if the operating schedule is already. Brother insyaAllah home,”
“Good brother..”
“Your lecture is good on?”
“Alhamdulillah smoothly sis, pray hopefully quickly finished,”
“Iya..” quiet... Head Fitri was filled with all erratic thoughts.

First meeting after all these years. That ended his search in several places. When he resigned and tried to give up his ambition to get his girlfriend, the girl now appeared. Back to messing up his heart. Ruin his senses...
The sound of the door opening. Saddam remained silent and said without looking. “Can't you find a way to get her mobile number?”
Teddy who just broke his body just smiled. “After I get the number, what do you want?” Saddam hissed slowly.
“Do you want to call him and say that it's me, Saddam. Your younger sister used to be but different majors? Do you remember me? Didn't he? You want to do that?” asked Teddy at the same time giving a firm insinuation so that his friend can think more realistic.
Saddam just kept quiet, then Teddy continued his chatter. “He's problem changed, do you want to talk about it? Wanna judge? And you will be instantly hated by him.”
“At this time he was close to Andrew, the man looked very caring for him and you also felt that Andrew always showed his dislike for you. I don't know what you did to make it that way.”
“maybe it is for that reason that Fitri never reviewed the location again, maybe Andrew conditioned that he could not come or even he himself who did not want to come because he suspected you knew him.”
Saddam moved from his place, glancing at Teddy and towards the exit. “Thanks for the short talk,”
Teddy could only look at his best friend's back. How else. Andrew immediately called him and said he did not like Saddam a team with him.
So what do these weird guys want? Teddy grunted in annoyance.
Actually, he also did not feel strange about Saddam's behavior. He has been friends with her since childhood. Their parents' home is a complex. His parents were just ordinary servants, while Saddam, his family was a distinguished family. Her father is a Kidney-Hypertensive Nephrology expert, while her mother is a senior midwife of overseas graduates. His brother and sister followed in the footsteps of both parents, struggling with health.
And Saddam, through a long struggle finally got the approval of his parents to explore the science of Architecture. And when one semester began, Saddam cheerfully said, “Finally I know why I was determined to take this architecture course.” He was talking when he went to Teddy's house.
“What?” ask Teddy confused.
“To meet my future wife of course.” Saddam laughed loudly. From there Saddam's common sense logic was shaken somewhat...
