College Or College Ah?
Bereft
Before long, brother Dhika called me. Nothing yet I've been sobbing.
"Sister, I want a sister here. I couldn't see Iyas crying rich earlier"
Dhika's sister was clearly heard crying as well but she tried to take a deep breath.
"Dengerin brother now, the full address I've sent in the chat. Brother also already pesenin you plane ticket but you can only fly at 9 o'clock mallem because the flight is available only at that hour. Brother can't bring you because tomorrow there's a presentation. The next day I will go to Palembang, if possible brother went there with Hanifa. Deck, who's stoic and patient huh? You are the only source of Andreas' power now. There, you don't cry! Help him get stronger and don't let go of his hand! Big brother Andreas, huh? You're the one who promised, right? Andreas is hard outside, but his father is more fragile than his brother. Now, you take a deep breath. Call your parents, the story that happened all to them and ask permission to go to Palembang 2 to 3 daily"
"Yes, thank you, brother... I must have done what my brother asked. Brother also have to promise me nyusulin there? He must be stronger if there's a brother" I explained.

I called Mom to the phone, hoping she would help me ask Dad for permission to go to Palembang.
Again after hearing Mother's voice, my feelings were even more broken than before and I could not hold back my cries anymore.
"Why baby?" ask Mother.
"His mother Iyas died, brother Iyas told me to go to college but he was rich to go long. He asked me to take care of myself, he asked not to be naughty. I don't want to go there, either, ma'am, while she doesn't have anyone else, right? I want to take him to Palembang, two to three days. Mom help me tell Dad?" ......
"Honey, please tell Iyas... I am so sorry yes. (mommy's voice starts hoarse and sounds very heavy)....
"Please take care of him too, just last time we vacation his mother calls and talks to Mom. Ask Mother to watch over you so as not to leave her child. Iyas' mother said you were a beautiful and good boy, I don't know if fate didn't anyone know.....
"Yes you go, let me explain to Dad but inget yes if Dad calls you have to pick up! Don't cry there, you have to do Iyas, right?" obviously Mother.
"Yes ma'am thank you, Arika will be with Nirwan soon until she is rich. Mother, please really find a simple teteh shirt to take there" I asked.
"Dear, I'm ready now, okay?"...

A few hours later.....
Hanifa still hugged me and didn't leave me alone. Even when I was about to go to the bathroom, she came in and accompanied me inside.
His hand he did not release a second from mine.
Every now and then, I see her tears also flowing when I see her powerless to hold back the tears.
"Gapapa, cry as much here. There you will not cry" he said while wiping my wet cheeks.
"I'm sorry fa, maybe your date show failed because of this incident. Even though you are the same brother Dhika has not met for a long time" I said.
"What the hell are you talking about Rain? Even if I could, I would like to get you there now. But brother Dhika would have asked if I go with him later" he replied.
Suddenly, I remembered the money I had paid. Money from Andreas for our holiday savings.
"Fa, did I transfer the money to replace Dhika's brother's money who bought me a plane ticket? So later the money can make you buy tickets as well" I said.
"That's not okay, that's Dhika's real money. Later he is angry if he knows you even want to change everything" he said.
"Gapapa fa, the ticket price is not a small amount. This is also Andreas' money, yesterday just disbursed research funds and he instead asked me to keep the money in my account. He said he's on his semester break....
......
......
......
When I told that, I realized that all humans can only plan and the rest only the Creator can determine.
"I haven't even met Mom yet, haven't been able to say that I want to be Mom's daughter-in-law. I haven't been able to travel with Mom in Palembang, but I've left me now".....

At 8 p.m....
"Come to the airport, we anterin you" Hanifa said as she moved.
"Here you take the car, the girls are sitting in the back?" Nirwan.
Arika gave me my carry bag that Mom had prepared earlier when they took it home.
In the car, none of us spoke.
Gian and Nirwan, sitting in front of him very relaxed and silent.
Hanifa still did not want to let go of my hand...
Nunu and Arika also looked very hit and just looked down while occasionally looking at me and trying to smile.
I feel lucky to have them...
Again, because I was never left out...
....
....
Arriving at the airport....
"You're careful, huh, Dhika's brother's instructions are clear, right? Once you get off the plane, you will be picked up with Bani and she who nganter you to the front of Kak Iyas' house" explained Hanifa.
Slowly, I walked in and had to leave my friends.
.......
After getting on the plane...
Before turning off the phone, Bani had to send a message.
"I'll be waiting for you yesterday, right? I know I have it yet.."
"Yes my brother" I replied.
Bani is my senior brother too, she's from Literature. Bani area with Andreas and sekosan also formerly.
Dhika deliberately called Bani to ask for her help and drove me to Andreas' house.
"Kayu Agung Village, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency" is all I know.
.....................
After arriving in Palembang.....
Brother Bani was waiting for me and asked me to walk to his car.
"From here still have to ride the vehicle again, the journey is about 1 hour 30 minutes" he said.
"Yes, brother, thank you brother already wanted to go all the way" I said.
"Gapapa, I was from Iyas' house and his mother's body just came from the hospital because Iyas waited until first. He was at home around 6" explained Mr. Bani.
"Yes, because he found me on campus also around 1pm" I replied.
"You must pinter-pinter temenin him, once when his father died his nature changed 180 degrees. He rarely laughs and is shy. Invited futsal maen do not want, want to be home and continue learning. He said he wanted to realize the ideals of his father. Now, he has to lose his mother. I'm sure, he must have been destroyed again but after knowing that there was you who had been nemenin him all along. Maybe he can be stronger" ....
"0yeah, you sleep on the deck. I'll wake up if it's too late. Consider it a time of rest, not necessarily right at home Andreas later you can sleep" explained Bani.
"Yes, thank you again. It's my first time to go to Palembang and be alone" I said.
My physique was indeed tired at that time, even it seemed that my mentality was also down.
It's just, I still can't sleep for a second.
I only see the condition of the streets of Palembang at night....
Wind stabs....
.....
.....
"Try my purpose here is not for the reason of rich sad news now, maybe Andreas is next to me and we again enjoy the atmosphere of the night in Palembang" I murmured.
...
...
I almost cried again, so I got carried away...
But as Dhika said, I must not cry and be stronger than Andreas. He should now know that he is not alone. He still has me.

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Arriving at Andreas' house....
"Inu his house, there are still many people who are being helped. Kaya Andreas in his room or maybe still waiting for the body of his mother in the guest room" said brother Bani.
My legs felt really heavy when I tried to step in and into his house...
He did not even see who had come that night, his gaze was completely blank.
Om and Aunty who had come at his graduation, welcomed me in front of the door. Aunty even hugged me and didn't think I could go to Palembang that night.
Slowly, I walked closer to him. Until he finally saw my feet stop right next to where he was sitting.
He's looking....
I sat down and hugged her right then and there.
He was crying so much...
The cry of a child who is in great pain when it has to be abandoned by his parents.
"There I am now, brother is not alone" I whispered as I hugged him.
His head was leaning against my chest. His hair was messy and his back was wet.
"Who are you here with?" tanyakanya.
"Alone, taken care of by Dhika's brother directly from the airport was picked up by Bani" I replied.
After letting go of his embrace, Andreas held my hand very tightly.
We're now face to face in front of Mom's body.
His eyes were staring very hard and like he wanted to tell you something.
"Mommy's last request has been fulfilled, I want to be met with you and now you are in her house. But I'm sleeping, please tell me I told you to wake up. Tell me you've come, ajakin I'm out for a walk" she said, crying.
I tried to harden my heart, like making iron fences in it so that my heart was firm and no longer crying.
"Ssssh I'm calm, I know I came too. Mom must now want sister to rest. Brother wash face huh? Take the water of ablution" I said.
"Yas sleep gih, let there are still many people here. Rest" said Tanteenya.
He wanted to obey, and now he's following his tant.
As for me, now there is only me and Alm.Mom facing each other.
I brought myself closer to her body, hoping that Mom could hear my farewells.
"Mom, Raina is here.. At Mom's house now... Raina had seen Taneman Ibu who said a lot and nice it. Raina had seen the lake she said she wanted me to take her there. Raina has seen the family photos of Mom in the living room. Sorry Raina ma'am? Raina is late. It should be fitting that I say I miss Raina and ask Raina here, Raina comes straight. But his fate says something else, Mother left before we could go for a walk. I met you there, right? I'm sure you're calm now, I'm calm. Oya, don't you worry about Iyas, okay? Raina will be watching him. Raina will make my brother healthy, let him eat vegetables and enough rest. I can take Raina ko to take care of Iyas"...
After that, I sent out a lot of prayers. Ask that Mother be equated with the Father there. Asking for strength and fortitude for Andreas as well as the family left behind.
Not long after, Aunt Goddess called me.
"Temenin Iyas yes dear, he has not drank or eaten anything since he came here" said Auntie.
"Sir Iyas where tan now?" my many.
"The room, wash your face and change your clothes" replied Aunty.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
After 2 more years of knowing Andreas, I finally now know his room. The room he thinks has always been the most memorable place of his life.
I knocked on her bedroom door and she simply replied in a flat "unlocked" voice".
I went in and found him sitting on his bed.
"So, don't drink first? Would you like me to take some food?" I said.
He pulled my hand and buried my head in his chest.
"I just want you to stay by my side" he said slowly.
"I'm not going anywhere. But you have to drink and eat something first, just a little?" the bujukku.
He still did not pester me, this time his embrace was getting stronger.
I tried to get myself out of his arms and then touch both of his cheeks.
"Drink and eat first, right? After that I can hug me again" I said.
He kissed my forehead and shed his tears again.
"Said brother Dhika, tomorrow he can only come here because there is still a presentation task. Oya same mother Daddy also had a drop, he said brother had to eat a lot" I said trying to cheer him up.
At least he laughed, even though he only laughed thinly but it felt enough to be my solace that all day just saw him cry.
"I want to drink and eat as long as you are ready" he whispered.
"Yes, I'll take it" I said.
Not even stepping, he was already holding my body. Hugged me from behind and leaned her head on my right shoulder.
"Don't be long" he whispered.
After this incident, I came to understand why Andreas always seemed angry if something happened to me. Even when I have a fever, he will be very worried and ask me to always be honest about my health to him.
"Yes-yes not long" I said.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
When I came out of his room, Om was waiting for me.
"Where is Rain, Iyas would like to drink the same meal?" ask om.
"Where is the kitchen?" my many.
"Here baby" call aunt.
In the kitchen, I saw everyone busy cooking. Maybe for a class show tomorrow.
"Darling, thank you for coming here" said Auntie in tears.
"Udah dong aunty, don't cry. Raina should have come here" I said.
"Yes, aunt sepet diitipin this same mother Iyas said to you" explained Auntie while giving a medium-sized box in deep red.
"Will you open? But please persuade Iyas now to drink and eat first, after that tell him to sleep. Auntie is just as worried" he said.
"Yes aunt" I replied.
....
.....
I don't know what you're keeping in this box...
It felt strange to carry him...
It's just as heavy as my feelings...
If it was a farewell that would make me cry, I wouldn't open it in front of Andreas....
I also put it in the totebag I was wearing at the time. Then immediately return to Andreas' room.
........
........
.....
He was still staring and sitting cross-legged on his bed with a blank look.
"Sister, shall we eat yuk first?"....
He glanced at me and tried to smile.
"You haven't eaten either, have you? We ate with both of us" he said.
I was so happy when I heard that I wanted to say some more long words.
"Yes" I replied.
