"Where areyou? Don't you wake me up anyway?" tanyakanya.
"I'm on campus, I have morning class. Pity you want to wake up, big brother pules really sleep" I explained.
Andreas hung up on me and asked me to see Mr. Yana, saying that there was something he wanted to give me.
During the class, I only thought about Arika and Nirwan. Arika who firmly decided Nirwan without anger and just directly left Nirwan with Bella.
In the meantime, Bella's been trying to keep calling me. I declined the call, there were probably 10 incoming calls I declined. My only goal is one, respect my best friend. I'm not the one who should get an explanation here, but Arika.
Bella should have been heartened and come to my major, to finish her dealings with Arika directly. Not even calling me like I am now.
In my mind, there are many questions. About what Arika had suspected from the movements of Nirwan that changed. Especially after I saw with my own eyes that Nirwan was holding Bella's hand very casually. Like he has done it often.
How could Nirwan also be so ordinary now? He didn't even ask me to hear his explanation. In fact, we passed each other in front of the emergency stairs just after class was over.
I pulled Gian's hand and wanted to take Gian to the cafeteria together, to tell the story of Nirwan. Arika just asked me to keep it a secret from Hanifa and Nunu, meaning she allowed me to tell Gian.
"Fa, I need to be the same Gian. You want a meeting, right, Great?" my many.
"Yes, yaudah gih. I'll hear about it later" he said.
Finally, I saw Gian chatting with Nunu in front of his class. I approached them and asked Nunu for permission.
"Disclaiming the permission of all? Yaudah left" said Nunu when I told her that I wanted to ask Gian to teach me the formula for the course.
Gian and I walked to the cafeteria. In fact, the goal is not to eat but just to tell stories and ask for solutions.
"What the hell is Rain Tumben really just want to talk alone" he asked.
I also told him everything that happened this morning. Gian looks shocked at once there seems to be a facial expression that had expected this incident will be experienced by Arika.
"Yes, that's Bella. Same with Kayi" Gian said.
I asked Gian to keep this a secret from Nunu, and he agreed to my request. He also promised to ask Nirwan to explain his true events, but I asked Gian not to tell this story alone.
"Udahlah, I've lost respect with Nirwan at most if he really wants the same Arika as well as she gentle dong" I said.
"But there can be other reasons, we have to ask first" he said.
"You're his best friend, so you defend him, right?" grumbling.
"It doesn't, even if this case happened to me. I will also ask for time to explain everything to Arika" he said.
I insisted on my stance, asking Gian not to interfere and pretending not to know. I wonder what Nirwan will tell Gian about his relationship with Arika.

After the lecture that day was over....
Me and my three best friends have a promise to share the proceeds of sales profits for the past two weeks.
We promised to meet in front of the literature faculty lobby, where Hanifa and I had just sent an order from one of the children's friends of Indonesian literature.
Nunu and Arika have arrived, Nunu looks very enthusiastic on profit sharing this week.
"We can have a vacation for a second, where to go it's eight" said Nunu.
As Nunu said so, Hanifa became the only one to respond.
"Ah yes really Nu, definitely brother Dhika seneng deh if we take a short vacation" said Hanifa.
Instead, I immediately reacted by looking at Arika's instantly grim expression.
"Rusan holiday ntar ajalah, yu we count first the results we keep dividing. You see I want to see Mr. Yana" I said trying to shift the topic.
"Ah okay-okay" Nunu said as he calculated the results from our sales notebook.
A few minutes later.....
"Lumayan loh dapet 400 thousands more" said Nunu.
"Yes, that's the richness because of Kinan's order yesterday" I said.
"Thank God, we can get pocket money for the next week" said Arika.
After that, I said goodbye and asked Arika to take me to Pak Yana's room.
"Yaudah, I'm the same Gian wants to go too" said Nunu.
"Gue's gonna pick me up at his college. We split up here bye" said Hanifa.
Arika asked if I told Nunu and Hanifa something, I just said no. He asked me to keep my mouth shut, let's just say we never had a friend named Nirwan.
That was the darkest side that Arika had, she would be very indifferent to the person who had already stuck a wound in her heart. Like his old High School friends.
"Yes, I won't waro Nirwan too" I said.
After accompanying me to Mr. Yana's room, he came home and we separated in front of the library.
Apparently, Mr. Yana gave money for research that has been done Kak Andreas and my other friends to the tourist village.
He also asked us to submit a plaque of appreciation to the village, as a form of cooperation between the department and the tourist village.
"Come there once again, please give me a plaque as a memento and you can have a holiday in the tomato war" said Mr. Yana.
Tomato war, is a customary event held by the community in the village after the tomato harvest took place. Implementation in two days to come. It was actually Sunday morning.
"Yes sir, I'll pass it to Brother Iyas" I said.
"Rain, you've passed your marriage. It fits so well! I'll call you SIG" he said.
"What sIG pack geographic information systems?" my many.
"Not, but husband and wife geography" he replied with a laugh.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
I also decided to wait for Kak Iyas to finish from his class, because there were no friends if I had to wait in the post-graduate building. I finally waited in front of the public building.
Incidentally Irish also invited me to meet there, he said he wanted to give me his own dessert box.
"Wey, isn't your class finished by 2? At 3 o'clock it's still on campus" asked Irish.
"Wait for my boys to finish class" I replied.
"Oh, oya Rain was Bella nanyain you. What the hell is it? Ko he'll call me" asked Irish in astonishment.
Bella and I are not close, we only know each other. Bella only made it to the top 20, so I don't really know how she is.
"Don't know, he'll call me at the very least. If he asks you to tell me you didn't meet me" I said.
"Si Bella bullies your guy?" ask Irish.
I wonder how Irish can think that. I didn't say anything that made him think negatively.
"Huh? Ngaco" I said.
"Si Bella was said to have been a famous snatch guy, especially he had become part of the campus ambassador's family. Stay up" said Irish.
"Do not know also rish, he richly there is a problem with my best friend" I replied.
"Yaudah, I hope the spit is over. Don't want to worry about Bella's problems. It's a waste of time" he said.
"Thanks for the food, often" I said.
"Yes, later if I don't miss the cake I bring it again" he replied.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Before long, Andreas came out of the post-graduate building and his eyes looked for me around the front parking lot.
I waved my hand and called out to him.
He stroked my hair and took me to his car.
"Kangen loh me" he said.
"Jijik hahaha new time how many hours do not meet doang kangen" ledekku.
"Where is today good? His class? The sale?" tanyakanya.
I could not hide my sad expression at that time, however Arika was my best friend who if she had a problem for sure I would come to think about it.
"Surf ko, oya this is from Mr. Yana" I replied while giving an envelope.
He stopped his car for a moment and turned my face towards him.
"Okay, the tone of speech dropped a grim expression and looked down rich gini rich there was something wrong" he said.
I had expected that my lies would be easily read by him. He knows me better than anyone.
"It's not about me anyway, but the guy asked me for this secret. So sorry if I can't tell you" I said.
Actually I could have told Andreas about it, but it looks like he's going to prevent me from interfering again. I better not tell him anything.
"Hmmm okay gapapa, this Saturday you have no schedule right?" tanyakanya.
"Definitely want to jump into a tomato war?" I said.
My expression changed drastically and excited.
"Do you know, how to not? Just make sure you meet again" he said.
"Aren't you going to ah, are you two?" the bujukku.
I actually wanted to invite them, but I was reluctant because I thought of Arika who would definitely decide not to come to the tourist village because of her problem with Nirwan.
"Hmm, it's better if you're both. I agree" he said, holding my cheek.
"Once again, shall we go home directly, brother? We eat at home at home" I asked.
"Tumben hahaha don't want to eat out?" tanyakanya.
"House ah, we'll cook" I said.
"Okedeh, means we're shopping first huh?" said.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Come up with the day that Andreas and I will go to the tourist village, to give a plaque and spend the night there while waiting for the traditional event.
Andreas has asked permission from my father and mother, both of them do not forbid just remind to be careful and take care of each other. However, Father said, customary villages must have their own rules that must be obeyed.
By late afternoon, we set off by car with equipment for the next day.
"Sir Dhika nanya not, where are we going?" my many.
"Well, I said I'd take you on a short vacation" he replied.
"So he suspects nothing? Is it fitting brother loves his share of money from Pak Yana?" my many.
"Suspicious of course, especially if he is used to research usually if to the village it must be from the department of memento love" he explained.
"But relax, Dhika also knows that I need both of you" he added.
The journey was quite tiring, I guess the distance that he said was not too far from the campus made the road access is still feasible. Apparently, many roads are still not good and force the car to run very slowly.
Plus, the location of the village which is at the end directly adjacent to the hill that has entered the territory of other districts.
"Not as close as you think, right? From this portal is still up and quite far" he said.
I was a bit scared, as the fog started to fall and disturb our view.
"Do not be afraid, I have memorized the co-turn where it is" he said.
I held onto my seat belt, watching the way Andreas was driving. Sometimes I ask him to stop for a moment to wipe his condensed rearview mirror.
"Sir, we'll go to homestay, okay?" tanyakanya.
"Whatever, I've never been here so how do you know" I replied.
"I asked for two rooms" he said.
"Why not a room? I don't want to be alone ah scared" I said.
"Since when have you been a parnoan like this?" ledek.
"Judah we go home again if we separate rooms" I said.
She laughed and didn't seem to expect that I would have the watermelon on her. This is purely because of my fear. Especially after Father and Mother told their experiences when they were young during a visit to the traditional village. I'm getting more and more scared.
"Yes-iya ko room, this is you who asked for yes" he said.
We also arrived in front of the house of the village officials, more precisely the elders and traditional leaders who also received Andreas and others during research a few weeks ago.
"Sir, this is my boyfriend who I told you about back then" he said introducing me.
"Oh yes, please come in and rest" he said.
Homestay that was meant by Andreas earlier, it turned out to be an inn in the form of a stilt house that is still very traditional. This house is specially occupied when there are tourists staying, in general, local tourists or student groups who are doing research.
We got a room at the end that directly faces the river where residents are doing activities such as bathing, washing clothes and taking water sources.
"Will we take a shower there?" my many.
"It should be yes, but according to sepuh who can shower there are only real people here. If the newcomer can only take the water" explained Andreas.
When the door opened, I was amazed.
"Sister, room one is this big. Fortunately we do not miss the room" I said after entering and saw the room that turned out to be quite spacious.
"Yes, I thought you wouldn't want us to room because it's uncomfortable" he said.
When we were about to tidy up the goods, lightning greeted us and the rain immediately fell with a rush.
"Luckily room, try different rooms maybe I have shouted for fear of lightning and rain in this crowded place" I said.
"You just rest first, I want to go under Mr. Kadat (chairman of custom)" he said.
"Yes, but a jacket package huh? The temperature is starting to fall" I said.
"Well, about 23 degrees there are times" he replied.
