College Or College Ah?
Run immediately to grief...
**can I call you a leaf?
so much you're scattered and growing...
and so easy is it that you fall...
I'm your admirer, maybe even a devotee...
when the twig helpless menopanh your body...
I'll wait for you to fall there...
I am the land.O call me the land....
where you can come back whenever you want....
where everything grows and develops...
the life-giving place...
where you breathe back after you've lost...
is the wind constantly bothering you?
tell me and hide above me...
I'll hold that wind...
so that you do not get torn apart and fly in any direction again**....

After helping Aunt Dewi, I slowly went back to the room and I saw that she was still asleep.
His hair almost covered his eyes so messy, maybe he hadn't combed it after the shower.
I combed her hair with my hands while squatting by her bedside.
"So funny if you sleep rich gini, rich kittens" I said slowly.
He felt my touch, kissed my hand and put it under his face.
Before long, as I was about to leave, he moved and hugged me.
"Today my brother hugged me how many times? shortness of breath tau not long" I grumbled.
He looked me in the face and said "I still dreamt you know? Mom's gone and then if I come back here, who do I want to meet?" said.
I remember Mom's message, when someone we love is gone. The feeling of his loss was only felt after the passing of a month of his departure. It was only the second day, and Andreas still could not accept the reality.
"Son't you still have Aunt Om, there are still big brother's calls. This house must also be taken care of and will not be left empty. If you want every sister to come home, kumpulin aja aja temen-temen brother area here. Keep every brother coming home, brother make events let his house rame" I said.
...........
............
"If there were no you, I might have been desperate. I could even go on a hunger and drink strike now. Torture myself rich when you leave. What Mom says is that you're not just my boyfriend, you're my world".....

After falling back asleep for a long time, Andreas and I woke up. Auntie and Om have prepared food for us. But, Andreas instead
take me to his mother and father's room.
"The room is big and fragrant again" I said.
"Mothers love fragrances, so I have a lot of flowers in the back garden" she explained.
"Ah yes, may I ask for one flower seed. Whatever flowers, who knows I can plant them at home" I said.
"Don't ask, I'm already ready under the table there is a box of seeds and there is a writing "make Raina" gih take" he said.
I took the dus and opened it, the contents were indeed plant seeds and also fertilizer samples.
"You're going home tomorrow, aren't you? not today" he said.
"So, do you dislike me? I am still at home" I replied.
"Don't hang on, tomorrow you go to college. Surely tomorrow you just have to permit and can not be more than a day because you have 5th semester" he explained.
"I'm an ordinary college student not a super rich student, I don't go in a day or a week or so it doesn't have any effect" I said.
"You're a prospective campus ambassador, just training again, right? not to mention your sales pitch. Pity the three of them if there is no work you" he said.
"But I don't want to leave you alone".....

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
The key that Mother gave was actually to open a safe.
"Sister, I don't want to see the contents ah. I'll wait there, okay?" I said.
"Don't tell him both. Mending you lock the door afraid someone will come in" he said.
"Okedeh" answered.
Andreas and I lifted a safe out of your closet.
Andreas looked surprised after seeing the contents.
Three savings books that have been dubbed in the name of Andreas, land letters, list of names and salaries of employees in oil palm plantations, gold owned by Mother, etc, BPKB of five vehicles used for the mobility of garden employees and others.
He read through all the sheets carefully. Until at the bottom of the safe found a letter that seems to have been stored for a very long time and some photos.
"Where did you get your photo?" my many.
"Mothers can take their own photos using the hape, because we just don't have photos so right in our hape?" the answer.
Behind the photo is a letter....
"Our son is already a big man, if you see his taste like what you really think. I like the clear. Our daughter-in-law's daughter-in-law is not playing, it looks like I'll have a cute grandson"
Andreas did not cry when he read it, instead I was teary-eyed.
Andreas held my hand.
"This time you must be stronger! please help me get through everything! I only have you now!" said.
The letter was not what it contained, because Andreas would not open it.
He put it in the safe again.
"Open up, brother! who knows if his will is important" I said.
"I'm afraid to cry again if I read, you're all" he said.
After getting permission, I read the letter.
This letter was written in 2007....
"Sister, this is the Father who wrote his wealth" I said.
"Read it in your heart, you know it" he replied without seeing me.
..........................................................
--------------------------------------
*First, during the era of the speaker.one once came to the house and saw Andreas...
He assured me that my son would be a great man later...
Even without hearing it, though,
I will take care of him with all my heart...
Even if my son doesn't know that I'm seriously ill...
I asked Rahayu my wife to keep it a secret from Andreas....
Until he grows up, he will be proud to have everything he wants*...
Everything I've fought for..

I didn't tell Andreas the contents, to keep his new feelings from improving.
The most frightening question for me finally came up.
Shortly before flying to Palembang, I had thought about it.
What if Andreas continues the family business and settles there?
What if we were really going to get an LDR?
How are our next years?
For a second I just kept quiet and pretended to focus on my letter.
"Sir.." he said.
"Hmmm..What brother?" my many.
"You're not horrified? don't have to talk about it" he said.
"I don't mind if you want to work here. I don't have a problem with our LDR. Even before my graduation sister I told my sister, right?"....
"Sister who can err on the life of his own brother, where can I interfere?" I said.
He took my hand, this time he wrapped his hand around my waist. Kiss me very gently.
It was a kiss that felt very piercing....
Kiss of approval to undergo a long distance relationship...
"Your lips are dry, lacking vitamin C?" it seemed to comfort me.
I hit his chest and for the first time I felt the real figure of Andreas had returned.
His body was getting warm, very warm.
His embrace is very tight and special...
"This we have to take to my room, because maybe later the same Mother's room you renovated or cleaned with Aunt and other families" he said.
"Tuh bring the bag alone" I said as I pointed at a leather tote bag that was on top of the closet.
I took her out right away before the freak and knocked on the door of this room.
But he spoiled instead and asked me to stay longer in Mom's room.
"The son is here" he said.
"I want to take a bath, my body is sticky" I told a lie.
"Hmmm, good at finding excuses" he said.

The night after the show was over....
Andreas' nephew came home, they looked very familiar with Andreas.
"Vanesa and Varrel" are Aunt Goddess's children. Their age is only 2 years, Varrel's brother is new in 2nd grade Elementary School and Vaness is still Kindergarten.
"Salim dong dear sister Raina" said Om.
Varrell and Vanessa hugged me.
"Not brother dong, it should be aunt because Raina will be his wife Om Iyas" said Aunt.
I just smiled and welcomed the hugs of the two boys.
"Tante raina, we go out yu? temenin I'm the same old brother" Vanessa asked.
"Vaness want to snack where dear already gini mallem loh" said Aunt Dewi.
"Aaaah Mommy, want a snack of the tree daritadi can not continue" said Varrel's brother.
"Yaudah yuk aunty" I said.
All of a sudden, I remember Recca and Randy at home.
Varrel and Vanessa took me away in their father's car.
"Aunty can take a car, right?" ask Varrel.
Not yet answered, Andreas turned out to follow me from behind and suddenly got into the car.
"Come rail sa let om anther" he said.
I sat next to him and was shocked to see Andreas coming out of the house and driving the car that night.
"Sister, big brother, right?" my many.
"Gapa" he replied.
Varrel and Vanessa look very active, they joggle and sing in the car.
"Tante, my beautiful aunt. Tomorrow morning we'll take Yu to the lake?" bring Varrel.
"Don't love, Aunt Raina is going home tomorrow morning" Andreas replied.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
After having Varrel and Vanessa play and buy a snack, my head got a little dizzy for some reason.
"I'm going to the room?" I said to Andreas.
He was astonished to see me suddenly enter the room after just getting out of the car.
I went into Andreas' room and felt a pretty intense dizziness.
"Have you taken any medicine?" andreas asked surprised me.
"Udah, this is rich because it was in the car deh hehe" I replied.
He brought me some wind oil and asked me to sit on his couch.
"You go to sleep first tonight, I want to buy tickets for us to go home tomorrow" he said, emptying the oil on my forehead.
"We? brother come to Bandung emang?" many wonder.
"Follow it, when you go home alone" he said.
"But the leave that the office gave me was seven days and it's not yet the third day" I explained.
"I'm not calm here either, but it's not good either. Always mother's key... Mending me to Bandung, at least I can see you and work again rich usually" he explained.
"Keep about the sister moving to that job? is it not?" my many.
"I still have to consider, for a while I want to ask Om the same Aunt Goddess who takes care. They are the only people who can be trusted" he explained.
He took his laptop and sat next to me, opened an online ticket booking site and was shocked to find no flight before 5pm.
"Where's dong? nothing under 5pm?" said.
"Father, who is male" I said.
"really? yaudah but I have to call Daddy you meant something" he said.
"No, I already know. Dad said there were no daytime flight tickets" I explained.
"Yaudah, I took the malem yes" he said.
While watching him book tickets through the site, I told him about the savings I used to buy tickets to go to Palembang yesterday.
"There's still 3 million less" I said.
"Why, will I change it?" said.
"That's big brother's money, substitution" I said.
"Your money, that's the result of your failed paper" he replied.
"Pak Yana called me, ask me to fix your research proposal yesterday. After that I called for two days of work, and I sent it back to Mr. Yana. Eh it passed and finally funded 20 million according to your budget. That's just the blessing" he explained.
"Sister didn't tell me the story? then that's the money I should give four dong?" I said.
"Yes, if I told you that you wouldn't let me help you? at most you will say 'don't have to be a new one later' or how with many reasons for your refusal" he said.
"That's not it, but it's love" I said.
I didn't feel sleepy after taking the medicine, while he was still playing his laptop.
A few minutes later, I felt him move.
Turns out, he took a blanket and put socks on me.
"Because we can't sleep in a bed together, so we can sleep on the couch?" said.
