College Or College Ah?

Brand new day

This afternoon felt very different, with another afternoon I passed a week ago. Where there is only the ceiling of the patient room that is my roof as well as light blue curtains that block sunlight into my room.

The blowing wind was also unpleasant, carrying the distinctive smells of drugs and ethanol which stung. I liked it less.

I prefer my house. The atmosphere, the fragrance of the flowers that Mother planted. Mango tree leaves are always noisy when flown by the wind. The sound of a bell when a buyer comes in. Everyone, I like it without exception.

My mind wandered far away. In a future where I might have to leave this house. Follow in the footsteps of my destiny after graduating from college. I don't know where I'm gonna live, who I'm gonna be with and what I'm gonna do. I don't even know. Everything is still a mystery. But, I don't think I can afford to be away from Mom and Dad.

I refuse to be more mature. I want to continue being a mother and father's son. With all the simplicity in it.

The breeze made me realize that I was very far ahead. I remember when I used to bike on the streets of the complex, seeing how Dad pushed my bike and helped me to good health.

Mother's voice calls from home asking me to come home soon because it's late. The sound of the roar of motorized vehicles at that time was not much like now. Ah, I really miss.

"Neng, buy three kilos of eggs" said one mother who came.

My daydream was instantly spoiled.

"Yes ma'am for a minute" I replied.

Her night....

Nunu called me to report their progress there.

Finally because Nunu thought the signal was good, I made a video call with him.

"What is Rain?"

/"Again eating while balesin chat customer"/

"Don't you do it? Did you take medicine?"

/"Udah nu, hahaha just relax I'm getting better. Oya, how's the village good?"/

"It's so good, it's just the smell of cow dung everywhere. You see, people wear bluegas. From the cow dung"

/"The lyrics want to go there"/

"Later here if it is healed, there is a rented villa ko he said. We can get here"

/"Asyikkkkk, brother Iyas what else? Very arrogant not to bother me"/

"Hahaha know your own boyfriend if work can not be disturbed, he again made a plan of that location. He was I saw your sketch post. Directly she made wallpaper in the hapenya"

The conversation with Nunu, Hanifa and Arika continued with excitement. Not to mention Gian and Nirwan who add to the atmosphere. I miss my activities with them even more.

The night was getting late and I fell asleep in the guest room.

Dad was going to take me to move me to my room.

"No need to carry well, I can walk alone" I murmured.

Dad insisted on holding me and putting me to bed in my room. Dad's hug feels rare, it's been a long time since Dad hugged me.

"If you need anything call Randy or yell at Dad huh? I slept in front of the TV" he said.

"Thank you, yeah" I said.

"Well, can I ask you tomorrow to get some paint? I want to change the paint room for Iyas Kasian because he does not like yellow" I said.

"Yes okay, but you don't paint directly. Call the handyman, tell the mamang, will you?" said Father.

"Okedeh, thank you, yeah" I said.

"Thank you, I should have taken care of my son" he replied.

I hugged Dad and cried.

I got carried away after remembering many events this afternoon. I remember how Dad always took good care of me, even yesterday Dad spent a lot of money on my hospital care costs. Father also did not demand the person who bumped into me and was so patient in carrying out his role as the head of the family.

I want to thank Dad. Hugging Dad without the slightest distance, saying how grateful I am for being born as a child of Father and Mother.

Asking Dad to keep thinking of me as his little daughter, don't treat me as an adult. I want to be Dad's favorite.

"Well, if I graduate, I have a family of my own. Can't I just stay with Dad?" my many.

Dad let go of his embrace, looking at me with an expression of astonishment.

"Well, Daddy's son has thoughts for the family?" ledek.

"It's not so yeah, just I don't want to leave you with Mom. Yes, I have lived here twenty years and I have to leave this house" I said.

"Ask, he wants to take you to Palembang or want to stay here with Dad" he replied with a smile.

"His father is very sure that my husband will be Sister Iyas" I said

"Are you looking for something else? I'm sure you want to get married, right?" ledek.

After a moment of nostalgia with Dad, I fell asleep.

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

The next day.....

Dad woke me up and asked me to buy some paint, he said the mamang was waiting for the front.

"Teh, wake up and keep eating. It's in front" Dad said.

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

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

On the way to Dad's building, I saw the street again. The road when I had an accident. I feel a little traumatized. Dad asked me to look at those streets.

"Can't be scared, right? It will continue through here" Dad said.

I'm not afraid I'm just not used to going through those streets anymore.

/////////////////////////////////

Arriving at the Andreas.

I asked Ms Mirna for permission to borrow room number 7 keys to paint and tidy up her room.

Miss Mirna was very kind and gave me the keys.

"Neng, let Mamang be with Randy. Neng is still sick" Mamang said.

"Yes tea, just sit in the corner" Randy said.

"Yes, yes" I gave in.

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

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

A few hours later.....

Andreas's room was finished in paint and his belongings had also been rearranged.

"This one is for mamang. Thank you for helping you fire and clean this room" I said, giving you an envelope.

"Yes thank you, but I love you. So I can't accept this" replied Mamang.

"Ih mang can not refuse sustenance" I said.

"Yes, take it" said Randy.

When I finished, I returned the key to Ms. Mirna and we went home.

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

The next day, Andreas and brother Dhika stopped by the house after just returning from the research village.

Incidentally, Mom is cooking a lot because for routine RW activities. Mom invites Andreas and Kak Dhika to eat at home.

While I was just listening to their conversation from the room.

At last, I screamed to call me.

"Teh, come down there Iyas nih"....

I went out of the room and saw Andrew waiting for me on the stairs. His face looks tired and dull.

"Sister!!!!" my yelling.

"Is she healthy?" tanyakanya.

"Hahahaha good dong bu, but don't play late huh?" said.

I'm like a little boy that his dad was worried about coming back after work.

Andreas looked at my feet and realized that my footwork was starting to slow down.

I even mocked by pinching his cheek. He smiled and welcomed my hand.

"Yu yas dhik eat" Mother asked.

"Have you eaten?" ask Andreas.

"I ate just now so I'm still full. My sister ate there. I'll take care of the shop" I said.

At that time, I felt my legs were very good and even funnily ran out of the house.

From inside, I heard Andreas scream.

"Hey don't run around" ....

I laughed when I realized how much he was watching my behavior.

Before long, the two of them had finished eating.

Kak Dhika came to me and told me about the events during their research in the village.

As it turned out, they were safe and could work well together as there was Andreas who split the tasks and took care of everything.

"Pak Yana is satisfied with our results, oya he also sends greetings to you. He said he was cured of the sixth semester waiting" he said.

"Dhik, behind yu ah? Want to rush a shower" Andreas asked.

"I'm coming?" my yelling.

"Don't, I'll take a shower here again" he said.

"Long ah, you sleep the most! Semalem you don't sleep" said brother Dhika.

"Sleep, my sister, come on" I replied.

They go back to their boarding houses...

Shortly after, Andreas called me.

"Dear, thank you" he said.

"Like no? Good right? I also changed the layout of the goods so that it looks more spacious room" I said.

"Like it, you don't beat yourself up, do you?" tanyakanya.

"Randy same mamang cat hehe, I'm showing the same pairs of wallpaper. That's a paint that's dried hehe so it doesn't smell right?" my many.

"No, I'll change the money?" said.

"Do not, instead, use the same meal tract watch? I haven't seen it for a long time" I explained.

"Yes, we'll see. Did I take a shower, huh?" concluded.

Thankfully, Andreas loved our work. Maybe that makes him more comfortable. Although the actual room is now rather narrow. At least he can get closer to me.

The food is guaranteed by Mother, her health can also be monitored. Not to mention, I'll have a chess buddy every night. Recca and Randy will also have free martabak and ice cream delivery donors.

The day went very well, I hope there will be many good days to welcome me in front.

This time, I won't be afraid to face anything. Just so you have my father, mother, sister and Andreas...

////////////////////////////////////

A few days passed....

Dad has an out-of-town schedule and I also have Recca with him. Randy and I were left alone at home.

"If there's anything, ask Iyas to take care of it" Dad said, giving us an allowance.

"No, I have money" I said.

"This is to buy vegetables for you to eat, in the refrigerator there is nothing. You're the same Randy, aren't you two on vacation, so I want you to cook for yourself, okay?" obviously Dad.

Me and Randy lyrics seemed resigned to the conditions that occurred at that time.

Recca plainly mocked us both and said "Hahaha kasian cook himself mending if delicious, if not sure teteh same aa buy meatballs or cook noodles doang"....

"How long is it? Ko was entrusted with a lot of money" I asked.

"Four to five days, the agenda is the same branch office and all holidays. Just because the quota is only for 3 people, so you guys again do not ask" explained Dad.

"She's an ordinary gap" answered Randy.

"Teh, Ran.Be careful at home! Keep the shop if you can, if you do not close it. Don't forget the key before going to bed" said Mommy.

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

In the afternoon while sitting on the terrace and seeing Randy who is serving buyers.....

I called Andreas, intending to ask him to come home. Actually because the house feels very quiet, so I asked for company.

Not to mention, these few days he was busy planning his business with brother Dhika. I don't know what they're going to do, I just wish them all the best.

"Sister, I'm the same mom Recca left" I said.

"Hmmm continues?" tanyakanya.

I was upset to hear the answer, how could he just respond hmm only. He should have answered with a little bit of pleasantry. For example, "yes I will go to the house" or "Oh yaudah wait until we go"....

He also has not kept his promise to take me to watch. Last time after his return from the tourist village, he just stopped by the house and chatted with me.

Play chess with Dad and yeah just like that.

I repeatedly lured him, so that he would take me out of the house. But unfortunately he never got hooked.

"Yaudah, I tell you about doang. Sorry to disturb" I concluded.

I also left my phone inside the house, while I went to Randy who was weighing the flour and wrapped it to make it easier if anyone buys later.

"Ran, here's help" I said.

"Sugar kiloins are all gone, because they're gone too" Randy said.

Unknowingly, Randy and I were even engrossed in the stall and tidying things up. Write out a depleted stock and serve a considerable buyer that afternoon.

"Tea, we have to shop because a lot of soy sauce is exhausted with toothpaste" said Randy.

"Write what an empty ajak, then you call the Kokonya later can he anter here" I replied.

"Yaudah, but will you call later? because the coco when talking really fast I can not worry" he said.

Shortly thereafter, Andreas came to my house.

I saw him open the gate and wave his hand.

"Wey!" greet Randy.

I just pretended to focus on counting money at that time, regardless of who turned out to be in the stall as well.

"So seriously" he tucked it while holding my head.

"Aren't they busy anymore? why did you come by?" my many.

"Galak deh, I had a guest.People who want to help me to open the business. So, I had a bit of a hard time talking on the phone because it wasn't good" she explained.

"Hmmm" I replied.

"Ko hmm doang answer?" tanyakanya.

"Wouldn't it just be answered hmm doang?" ledek.

He laughed and realized his mistake at that moment.

"Sorry, how do you want to watch it now? or what do you want?"tanyakanya.

"Wouldn't want anything, want brother here aja nemenin us. It's a lonely house" I replied.

"Yaudah, I'm here. Can I have a meal, but?" tanyakanya.

"Sister hasn't eaten yet? Well, yes, I take ya wait" I said as I moved.

He held my hand and said he was just joking.

"Hahaha joking, I just want to see the expression of your concern" he said.
