College Or College Ah?

A day before

The next day....

Me and my three best friends just finished counting the money from today's sale. Shortly after the resellers deposited it on us.

After taking notes and sharing the results, we set off for the Rainfa outlet. There we have been waiting for Kak Iyas and Kak Dhika as well as friends of photographers who will take pictures of us for Rainfa catalogue next month.

Once there, my friends and I were asked to change our clothes with some clothes recommended by female employees at Rainfa for a photo shoot.

Nunu, who at that time did not like the blend of clothes, asked Selvy to exchange one of the dark blue parasitic jackets for another color.

"Tuker dong, it's too dark on the camera" Nunu said.

"Can't be brother, sorry it has been adjusted by us by looking at the brand" replied Selvy.

"Well, there's no other color in the same brand?" grunts Nunu.

"What just came is just that, brother, same some other colors but no small size" he replied again.

I heard their dispute and asked Selvy to recheck the item. I knew that Nunu would insist on finding another color because Nunu did not like the dark blue color.

"Yaudah please findin again dong, if it has been searched there is no yes it is okay later we tukeran aja Nu" I said.

Selvypun went and looked for two colleagues to ask for help in finding a jacket with the same brand but with a different color.

I saw a look of annoyance on Selvy's face as Nunu insisted on asking her to change the color of the jacket she was about to wear.

Before long, Brother Iyas came and approached me who had just come out of the dressing room and was combing hair in front of the mirror.

"Who would want to be photographed?" tanyakanya.

"You know, whatever" I answered.

"Why is his face so sore?" tanyakanya.

"That's an employee brother, the selvy of the time Nunu did not want to wear a color jacket was forced and said there was no more stock. Did it come the same as all the colors?" grumbling.

"Emang Nunu what color?" tanyakanya.

"Dark blue, where dark again all the nuance. Iyasih outdoor but it should be adjusted dong same who is the model" I said.

Actually, I have no problem with the color of the jacket I wear. I just don't like the expression of Selvy who seemed to refuse my request for help earlier.

His job was to find the right clothes for us.

"Many colors. From one brand there are 7 to 8 colors" replied Iyas.

I also walked to the stockroom, and listened to the conversations Rainfa employees were talking inside.

"Bete me, the boss's girl is so pretentious! Pake rumbles everything. The boss isn't either" Selvy said.

"Yes his name is also a college boy, pretentious all the time. Though they still use the money of parents" replied Listi.

"Hahaha agreed I'm with you guys, most of whom are so pretentious and high prestige" said Liani.

I listened to their rant about me and Nunu.

Until they seemed to have finished looking for stuff and I rushed off.

"Nu, we will change if the color of the jacket they take does not match you. You see, said Kak Iyas, a little came" I said to Nunu.

"Oh yaudah" he answered.

I lied to Nunu so that the business is not long, I can tell that Nunu wants the best for his photoshoot because this is also for the business of Iyas and Dhika. But, I am also lazy if I have to argue with his employees again.

Given that they just worked at Rainfa. I want them to feel comfortable and unencumbered.

"Sorry yes I brought" I said to Selvy who had just given her new jacket to Nunu.

"This is a match for the color" shouted Nunu excited.

Selvy just smiled and left from where we were gathered at that moment.

Hanifa who noticed my uneasiness, approached me and whispered. "Why rain? They must have done it, huh?".

"Son, even I did it. I was so fussy asking Selvy to wear another color jacket for Nunu so she's sprained" I said.

After we finished preparing, we immediately went to the photographer who was preparing the set.

"Groups are just one-on-one, right?" said.

"OK" we answered.

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

After the shoot was over, Nunu and Hanifa were excited to see the results while choosing good photos to send to their respective phones. While Arika and I help Dhika Kak who is arranging the sculpture display.

Sis Iyas was busy discussing with the head of his shop, maybe there are things to be sure before launching the next two hours.

I feel like today I have to let him work with focus, usually when I'm around he's going to be hard to concentrate. So from that moment on, I kept my distance from him. Sometimes he would glance at me and smile.

Until the launch, all his friends came. His friend at BMKG, his college alumni friends and some of his basketball SME friends.

Brother Iyas and brother Dhika are great, they can make their own way. When most newly graduated people will choose office work, they even want to be independent and create their own business. While being a substitute lecturer and occasionally following research to get additional income.

Until almost nightfall, my friends and I were still in Rainfa. We chatted with a lot of alumni who attended and some of our class friends who came to hunt for a 20-30% discount on the day of soft launching.

After being satisfied chatting, Hanuka invited me home together.

"When I go yu? Kaya sak Dhika sama kak Iyas very busy deh fear you kemaleman until home" asked Hanifa.

"Yes come on, I say yes to Brother Iyas. Wait in the car" I said.

I looked for Iyas who was serving the buyer and checked some of his employees' work at the cashier's desk. I used to want to say goodbye

But, seeing the large number of people waiting in line makes me reluctant. Maybe I should just put it on the phone.

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

On the way home....

Hanifa told me that she said goodbye to Dhika's sister who was busy arranging things. While I said that I did not have time to say goodbye to Brother Iyas because of the queue that snaked at the cashier table.

"Call me" said Hanifa.

"Later ah fit at home, anyways afraid he still mengeladenin buyers" I replied.

Arriving home as I was about to lay myself down on the front porch seat, Iyas called me.

"Where areyou? Didn't you go home and say? No more" he asked.

"I'm sorry, I said it was just my brother was busy at the cashier so I went home" I replied.

"Jaudah will come home from here, I will go home" he said.

"Don't you, you must be tired, right? Mending brother sleep just rest" I said.

She insisted on meeting me, maybe she wasn't feeling good about not being able to drive me home. Though all day I was at the outlet to help shoot and arrange the display of the goods.

Sure enough, he came home almost midnight. His face looks tired and tired. I made him a glass of warm tea and got him some snacks.

"Drink now, have you eaten?" my many.

"No, no need to eat" he replied.

"Oh my goodness, did I make you eat? It's in the fridge, isn't it?" my many.

"Father" he replied.

After that I saw him eating with his heart, glancing at me a few times in shame. It seemed like he had been feeling hungry since then, seeing the way he had fed a full spoonful of rice into his mouth.

"Slow down dong" I said.

"Snake the food, you are also good at making fried rice" he said.

"His elor ate dong" I said.

"Yes, it will be the last part I wait for the most" he replied.

As soon as she noticed her hands were dirty, I saw her funny and awkward facial expression when I realized that she had already finished a plate full of fried rice.

"This is your head" he said.

"You what?" my many.

"She's here" he replied.

I put my head close to his face and it turned out that he was about to put our heads together. Our spirit clashed and he laughed.

"Why the hell is geje?" grumbling.

"That's because my hands are dirty so I can't hug you" he explained.

Three days passed.....

The last day in Bandung before leaving for Bali for the last stage of field lectures the next day.

Me and my three best friends made an appointment to shop for necessities at a regular mall.

I waited for Hanifa's invitation on the terrace while listening to music from my phone.

Before long, Hanifa came and honked the wart three times.

"Mom, I'm leaving" I said goodbye to Mom who was guarding the wholesaler.

"Yes be careful, don't go home?" sahut Mother.

We shop until we forget the time, even though our groceries are not too much. It's just that we like to go around and look around.

After being satisfied around, the four of us ate and talked about the division of hotel rooms.

I don't room with any of my three best friends. Nunu is lucky to be able to room with Hanifa, Arika is also at least a room with Rima and Iria. While I was, I was even rooming with Rani. Ega was there, but I was uncomfortable knowing that Rani would be in the same room as me for a whole week.

"Sabar rain, there must be the same Ega you continue. He doesn't like Rani either, does he?" nunu.

"Just love, but I still feel uncomfortable" I replied.

"If he says anything to you, tell us as soon as possible" Hanifa said.

When it was 3 pm, we decided to go home for packing.

Hanifa drove me to the front of the house.

"Tomorrow I was picked up by Dhika, you were also ushered by Iyas, right?" ask Hanifa.

"Yes, I was escorted by Iyas ko" I replied.

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

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

Her night....

I'm packing a room aided by Randy and Recca. They both have written a list of souvenirs that he said I should buy before returning to Bandung.

"Don't forget tea" Recca said, hugging me.

When I was almost done, I heard the sound of a car horn in front of the house.

"Sir Iyas tuh" cried Randy.

I went downstairs and asked Randy to take care of the rest.

"Hi" she shouted.

I hugged her because we didn't send each other messages all day.

"I miss" I said.

"Well, do you shop tomorrow?" bring him.

"Dear, I was shopping with Hanuka this afternoon" I replied.

"Don't you say?" tanyakanya.

I explained that it did not taste good when I had to ask him to take me for shopping tomorrow. He's very busy taking care of this it's in his shop. So I hope he's not angry.

"Yaudah, I want to see your package" he said.

I took him to my room to see the results of my package which was very neat because it was helped by Randy.

"Good too, neat and really just bring two bags?" tanyakanya.

"It's true, because I don't want to be complicated" I replied.

He taunted me and did not expect that I would learn from the experience of the previous two field lectures. Where I lost some of my stuff because I wasn't careful.

"Jaudah this is for you snack, consider this appreciation because you have helped you keep packing" he said while giving two pieces of money a hundred thousand to Randy and Recca.

"That's a lot, brother" answered Randy.

"That's okay, the rest is saved huh? Gih Ran ajakin Recca snack" he said.

When we were alone, I hugged her again. Realizing that the next week we will be separated for a while.

"Manja deh every want to go to field college" he said.

"And we won't see him for long, 9 days there are" I said.

"Any two-day trip, huh? Not yet the activity a week" he replied who had just realized the duration of my last field lecture that would last long enough.

"That's why I want to be spoiled first" I said.

"Have you been hugging a long time?" said.

Before long while still holding my hand, he opened his wallet in front of me.

"How much do you need for a week there?" tanyakanya.

"Please I have my own money later, I will also love you" I replied.

Actually, I only have 200 thousand dollars left after shopping for necessities this afternoon. I also used my savings to pay for transportation and travel.

But, how could I ask him for money. He's still my boyfriend not a husband I can ask for money anytime.

The money he gave from my mother's will has not dared me to use even a little, the plan is that I will save the money for my wedding savings.

After all, the purpose of Mother giving the jewelry is definitely for that, right?

"Don't dong, don't ask Dad too. I told you now you have me. If you have a need just tell me" he said.

"I'm ashamed to ask my sister" I replied.

"Yes change it later when you have money, consider me pinjemin" he replied.

I also explained to him that the rest of my money was little. He gave me five hundred thousand bills.

"This makes a handle, if you want to shop using this debit card. It contains about one million more. Who knows if you want to buy souvenirs for people at home?" said.

I returned the card because I felt that five hundred thousand was more than enough for me. But he insisted on giving it to me on the grounds that I would immediately continue my holiday to Lombok.

"Ke Lombok tuh nyebrang island use a ship around 100 thousand, not there nginep not sure a day two days? Find a cheap and comfortable accommodation. If less money tells me" he said.

I hugged him and apologized for bothering him so much. There was a lot of money he spent to pay me. Starting from the treatment money and others.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you more. You see, I was just yesterday snacking shop" he said.

"It's more than enough to know" I replied.
