College Or College Ah?

Celebrations

"Congratulations, dear!!!" said Father and Mother who came to me to the backstage.

All the lecturers from my department who came that night also congratulated me.

Nirwan and Arika even brought me a bunch of flowers. While Nunu and Gian gave me a box of my favorite chocolates.

"I feel you won after your brilliant answer in the last round" whispered Hanifa.

"You are hereby willing to say that you are only the child of your Father and Mother who still lack and if not chosen, you will continue your life as a good student and as their firstborn...that's not the fa?" nunu Sahut.

"Yes that's cool, I didn't think Raina could answer that hahaha" ledek Arika.

"That's so you know, I usually can't say ya hahaha" I said.

After taking pictures and getting a lot of congratulations.

I haven't seen Andreas...

"Well, ma'am. Where's sister Iyas?" my many.

"Oya tea, said Andreas earlier you are the same all your friends are finished this must eat together in the four season... Andreas was saying first there with Recca, Randy and Dhika" Mother said.

"Huh? Four seasons? He knows where the four season haha is so strange again making this evening to all of us" I said.

"Yes rain earlier, Dhika also told me, he said we were waiting for the four season" said Hanifa.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Me, Dad and Mom left for the four season in Dad's office car while Hanifa, Nunu, Arika, Nirwan and Gian went in Hanifa's car.

"Wait to Table 7?" andreas said in his message.

...............

........................

Arriving at the four season....

We were all waiting at Table 7, but Andreas wasn't there. There was only Randy, Recca and brother Dhika who were eating a snack.

"Where the hell is it? I'm on Table 7" I said.

"In the meantime, again in the bathroom" he said.

Not long come.

"The food is already Iyas pesenin ko yah, just wait to come" he said while sitting next to my father.

"What the hell, you're sitting next to Dad, not next to me? The seat next to me is empty" ....

"It's not like saying safe cake or kissing my cheek cake after I win, it's cold" I murmured.

After the food came, everyone was busy with their own food. But I still looked at Andreas in front of me.

"Sir, why aren't you eaten?" ask brother Dhika.

"Lustlessness" I replied.

"Rain, eating dong you were just eating bread during the event" said Nunu who was accompanying me in the backstage for almost 4 hours.

I went on the excuse to go to the restroom...

I was upset with Andreas....

.................................

.............................................

When I got back, everyone was busy eating. Mom and Dad didn't even notice me, Recca and Randy greedily ate as they pleased.

"That let you have an appetite, there is your favorite special dessert again taken by the servant" said Andreas.

After the waiter came and gave me a small plate covered with a puff of smoke around the plate.

I pretended not to be surprised and immediately opened it with a flat face.

But, uh,.....

It turned out to be what surprised me....

Not a special dessert but a small box and paper inscribed..

"Raina, would you like to get engaged with me?"

I immediately saw the face of Andreas who turned out to be smiling looking at me.

"What's the answer?" ask her while looking into my eyes.

All of my friends present at that moment were shouting loudly.

"say yes say yes"

Andreas got up from his seat and headed towards me. Holding my left hand and asking Dad's permission.

"Well, like Iyas said this afternoon. Iyas wants to be serious with Raina, no problem waiting for Raina to graduate. Iyas will wait, and this is proof of Iyas's seriousness with Raina" he said.

I was moved to hear Andreas ask Father's permission before revealing it directly to me.

"Dad is up to his son, and I'm not complaining about Iyas" replied Dad.

"Tea verily accept, rather than laughing at the dream continues to be proposed Andreas mumpung already come true" said Randy who just issued his voice earlier.

My friends laughed at Randy's joke just now.

"Now there is an answer from you, how? Do you want it or not?" tanyakanya.

I looked into his eyes and smiled while answering.

"Yes, I want to"...

After hearing my reply, everyone clapped their hands and Andreas immediately put the ring he had given him earlier.

It was like a dream, where the man I wanted finally asked me to be his fiancee.

"Thank you for accepting me" he whispered.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

After the show was over and all my best friends came home with their girlfriends......

"Father same mother and Recca Randy first yes, you are in Andreas' car gih" said Father.

"What really is gapapa?" ask Andreas.

"Yes, just brought home again, huh?" ledek Father.

We left together after taking my family to the parking lot...

"Cold huh?" he asked after seeing the short drees I was wearing without arms.

"Yes, I don't use Ac" I replied.

He also took something from the storage behind my seat.

"This was I wanted before coming out of the boarding house, I already feel for sure you do not bring a jacket and will wear a tight dress" he explained.

"Ko cute his jacket is cream color? Since when does my sister have this jacket?" my many.

"Old package ko... used to be enough, now it's not" he said.

I so thought of something after being alone with Andreas right now, suddenly in my mind came a lot of questions.

"Sister, about this ring..... Does that mean your brother is really serious to me?" my many.

"Why? Shocked huh? I gave her a tadpole ring" she said.

"Not that, just what does that mean that brother will not be moved to Palembang?" my many.

"That sentence, I've thought about it and had the same discussion as Dhika. He told me to quit my job and take care of the family business" he explained.

I'm a little disappointed, but anyway it was his decision. He knows better what is best for himself.

"But later because of work in my own garden, my working hours are free. I can call you as I like, can I go to Bandung as I want and be more flexible for our relationship?" inexplicably.

I sat there without answering a word. I don't know what expression I had to put out back then. I'm afraid of being wrong....

He stopped the car and looked at my face.

"This ring, I purposely love it now as a sign of our bond. So you can be sure that I will never leave you" he said.

All I wanted at the time was to hold her. Feel the smell of her hair and the perfume of her body. I don't need anything else....

"Yes, I will try to understand our position now.. I'll try to accept my brother's decision, for both of us" I said.

"Well, anyway, you will have more activities as campus ambassadors... So I guarantee you, you won't lose me too much" he said.

At that time I actually really wanted to slap him, how could he equate himself with my busyness? Is it true that he thinks that when I am busy, I will easily forget him and not feel lost in the slightest?

"Well, when did you quit your job?" my many.

"So early this morning, I wrote a letter. Waiting for the written stop" he replied.

I'm not even more important than Dhika's sister, she filed a dismissal letter without telling me first. I feel sad....

Many things suddenly disturbed my mind at that time, maybe because I was sensitive and exhausted so I felt more tonight.

"Hmmm yaudah I doain deh hopefully smoothly yes the process and brother can cepet to Palembang to take care of the garden" I said.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Arriving in front of my house.....

I got off without waiting for him to open the car door, it seemed like he noticed my disappointed facial expression earlier. It's just that, he didn't want to ruin my happy mood after winning at the campus ambassador earlier.

"Are you careful?" I said as it passed.

Suddenly, he stopped my steps and hugged me.

"You why? Please don't cuddle me" he said.

"I'm okay, just tired. Udah gih brother came home, thank you already watch me until finished and ajakin Mom same Dad eat together" I said.

.........................................................

................................................

Early morning in the room....

I woke up from my sleep, feeling terrified all of a sudden after having a bad dream.

It felt like reality, until I was afraid to continue sleeping.

I opened my bedroom window to breathe the night air. Remembering the good God gave me today...

Winning me in the campus ambassador event, sending me good friends who have always been loyal to me and giving me a family that always takes care of and takes care of me.

Last....

for allowing me to unite with Andreas...

Although, after that I had to feel a sense of disappointment. Andreas asked me to be his fiancee and then later he told me about his decision to quit his job in Bandung.

I looked at the ring that Andreas had put on, removed it from my finger and watched it from all sides.

"This ring is like my consent left with you. Is it not brother? I was in a dilemma... Anyway, I promised to learn the decision of my brother and I will admit any way so that we keep together. I want us to fight first with our dreams until we're both ready"....

Then I opened the ring box again..

"Would you engage with me?"

Five words that just changed my status from single to engaged.

I had a chance to see the faces of my parents, just before I answered Andreas's question. Dad just smiled, while Mom nodded her head.

Secretly that night, I asked myself a lot of questions..

"Is the decision I made right?"

"Do I really want to get married?"

"Did Andreas really want me to be his fiancee?"

Then after that, it was as if I was saying ..

"It's ok Raina, do as your heart says.... Fight for what you think is right and never be afraid of something that hasn't happened"

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

It doesn't feel like 3 in the morning....

I pulled back my blanket, looked at my phone screen and read a lot of incoming messages.

"Congratulations Raina! Steady our majors become more visible"

"Congratulations Raina! Results will not betray the process.... The spirit of doing the job!!"

Almost hundreds of DMs that went into my stagram...

Finally because I feel the need to post a photo to keep myself from unwanted things.

"My support system🖤"

My picture is of a man who just put his ring on my ring finger.

"Sister, I'm kangen🖤" I said, spontaneously texting her.

I can't believe he called me right away...

"Finally, I've guessed that you have many more thoughts must be in the middle of your malem wake up" he said.

"I'm the power-layer" I said lying.

"Lying, you're having the most nightmares, right? It's hard to sleep anymore, right?" said.

"Well, I don't know what a dream is all of a sudden" I replied.

"What dream? Want a story?" tanyakanya.

"You know, but I forgot what the dream was" I replied.

"Hahaha, you always want me to sleep?" tanyakanya.

"Hmmm actually I want to apologize, because it was brought by brother. After I was sprained, when I was just told that my brother had not asked for a letter out of work after his letter was given" I said.

"Yes I forgot, I think I told you that you haven't" he replied.

Besides accompanying me to sleep, I must have fallen asleep first because I don't remember when I turned off the phone.

That night, again a small pebble we managed to pass through. Gravel is called too flavorful, which could make our relationship tenuous and problematic.

Luckily, that dream was present in my sleep last night. The dream made me realize that every second of togetherness should be cherished, because we as humans will never know who left first....

We will leave or we will be left behind.....

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Next morning....

My mother woke me up and told me to have breakfast. I took a shower and went downstairs afterwards.

At the dinner table, Randy and Recca were waiting for me.

"Eat first Ran" I shouted.

"With a spit here" he told me to immediately get down from the 2nd floor.

"Teteh ko make up his eyes are still there anyway?" ask Recca.

"It is difficult to cross the deck, but it has been washed many times" I replied.

Dad, who had just left the room, joined us and we started eating together.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

After I finished eating, I sat in front of the TV waiting for Recca's favorite cartoon show with her.

Because today is Sunday, lucky I can fall and laze all day.

I just turned my phone back on, there have been a lot of notifications from the Campus Ambassador group.

Cross-campus ambassadorial events, visits to the mayor's office and other activities that have been waiting for me in front...

I called Irish...

"Rish, for the dishare event we came together? Or alternating and dividing the schedule?" my many.

"The word campus builder anyway, we came both everywhere" replied Irish.

"Yes, we'll meet on Monday for that conversation" I said.

"Oke rain, I want to continue to sleep again haha semalem tired really" he concluded.
