College Or College Ah?

Up next...

I led him, after I saw him walking like he was in pain.

"Sit down first yuk in the car" he asked.

"Ngapain huh? Brother should sleep know?" I said.

"Jaudah sat down. I want to talk to you" he said.

We sat on the terrace. It's weird that midnight is outside the house. Especially around Enin's house[the garden. I dare not look ahead. Just focus my eyes on brother Iyas.

"Why not use a wheelchair?" my many.

"Don't want to bother. You're good" he replied.

"Did I get you a drink?" I said while moving.

He forbade me, he said he didn't want to drink. He even reasoned that now he just wanted to see me.

A few seconds later, I felt his eyes start to look strange. Like someone who is nervous. If I didn't guess wrong, he would have said something important to me.

"Do you really care about it?" my many.

Iyas smiled and lowered his head. Shortly after, he looked straight ahead. His eyes looked empty.

"Silver is sick? I flicked his leg, right? We're going to dalem yuk?" take me.

"Gak ko, I'm just thinking about how they are doing research. I'm actually not good because I made a promise. If not for the condition of my feet, I would have joined ko" he explained.

The research referred to Kak Iyas must be the research Pak Yana entrusted to him. As I recall, he should have left tonight. However, due to his circumstances, he cancelled his plans.

Her again when she was sick she was still thinking about the research.

"I'm angry again if you even think about the research. Patient and sick again. Reasonable dong brother batalin" grumbled.

He turned his eyes towards me. His expression now looks shocked.

"My girlfriend is so fierce to come home from Bali" he said.

I squatted in front of him. Put both my hands on his knees. Then try to be honest and apologize.

"Sorry brother, I am really sad to fail a vacation to Lombok. But I was sadder, when I found out that my brother was sick and I couldn't get him straight away. My feelings are mixed. Not to mention on the way to the hospital, I met Fasya. Luckily there was Randy.....

I told her everything that was on my mind at the time. Hope that between us there will be no more barriers that make us have to be apart from each other.

I want him to know everything I'm going through and feeling. Through that, I hope he will understand how important he is in my life now.

I want not only me to share her grievances, but she also has to do the same to me.

"I understand, I feel so bad being your guy. All your plans are falling apart because of me. Anyway I promise, after I recover and you have a holiday, we go to Lombok huh?" said.

"I don't want you to make promises, as usual I want us to flow. So we don't expect anything from each other. I can continue to be the same brother. Brother don't have to promise anything more" I replied.

She patted my head, stroked my hair and then looked like she was about to cry.

"Uhhh, I'm lucky to have your rich girl. May we be fools on deck?" said.

I could see clearly, Sister Iyas' eyes glazed over. The most obvious void appeared between her gaps. I could also see that the one in front of me right now was a male figure who had never gained as much affection as I had after his parents had left.

My heart hurts more and is cut. Seeing the person I love so touched by what I said. I also want to cry again. I want her to know that I'm more fortunate to have her as my girlfriend.

"Yaudah yu in, we'll catch a cold" I asked.

Not a single step forward, he held my hand back.

"Otherwise brother?" grumbling.

I was upset because he was still unaware that the air that night was very cold, and he was also sick. I was just worried about his body.

"I miss Mom and Dad" he said.

Words that pierced my heart. As if there was an internal wound that was bleeding again, I realized that his facial expression had changed instantly.

My body lightened, I even had trouble organizing my almost unbalanced legs and fell drooping. When he said he missed his parents, it was the hardest time for me.

Back then, I could not advise her, give her spirit or even seduce her. All kinds of moves will not be able to make him forget the sadness or treat his longing for the Father and Mother.

"Ssttt, mending us doain them only. Father same Mother must miss also to sister" I said.

I didn't want to hug her back then, because I thought she'd get sadder if I just hugged her. I just patted him on the shoulder while helping him stand up.

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

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

I drove him to the guest room, while I was going back to Enin's room.

"So I sleep, I sleep too. I wake up in the morning" I said.

"Yes, kiss first" he said.

I pointed my cheek at him, but he kissed me instead.

"Mmmmuah, Ih ko smell the hell of your hair" he said.

"Ngaco, I'm in Bali shampooing every day you know!" grumbling.

He laughed and threw himself into a mess.

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

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

Next Morning....

I who have difficulty sleeping because of the cold, forced to wake up early.

"It's still half 5 o'clock hahaha can't sleep yet. It's cold" I muttered.

The sound of chickens crowing and earthy was heard in the courtyard of Enin's house. I miss this kind of atmosphere.

"Who, are you awake?" ask Iyas in chat.

"I just woke up, I can't really sleep" I replied.

"Yuk streets? We're going around" he asked.

I also rushed to take a shower even though I was actually very lazy, because the water in Enin's bathroom must have been very cold. But, I have to take a shower because Iyas has a sister.

After taking a shower, I headed to the guest room to see Brother Iyas. It turns out he was brushing his hair.

"Udah handsome" I said to tease him.

"Eh hahaha, I want to shave my hair" he said.

We went around Enin's house. Until it was densest that Abah was also awake and was feeding his chickens.

Abah who was astonished to see the two of us came immediately shocked. Fortunately, Iyas immediately greeted Abah and introduced himself.

"Oh, the date was really bad yesterday? I didn't see it" Abah said.

"Yes, it's a big malem, it's 12" I replied.

"Yaudah, would you like to feed the fish not in Abah's pond? if you want to take his feed in the back" asked Abah.

"You want to" I replied enthusiastically.

I pulled my brother Iyas's hand towards the back kitchen to find food and feed the fish in Abah's pond.

He also seemed enthusiastic to see me so excited that morning. Sometimes he would taunt me because I couldn't wait to see Abah's pet fish.

"You used to be big here?" tanyakanya.

"I'm SD here know, so I understand the area" I replied.

"Have you guys childhood?" tanyakanya.

"There, but they're on college out of town. I also only relate to a few people" I replied.

After feeding the fish...

I made some sweet tea for all the family members and fried the cassava that Enin had cut last night.

While Iyas was chatting with Abah on the front porch.

"Is it better?" ask Enin.

"Yes nin hehe" I replied.

"Smake the look of his son, Enin kaya if your age will also like" explained Enin.

"That's a flirty thing?" ledek.

Enin advised me to keep someone who is worth defending. According to Enin, after he heard the story about Sister Iyas from Mom and Dad, Enin understood why I really liked Sister Iyas.

"A child who has lost two parents, he will love the people he still has. Enin understands how Iyas feels, he will definitely be super protective of you" said Enin.

Hearing Enin's explanation, made me feel guilty. How not, I can even get angry and leave it out just because of the little things. But, I forgot that he was always understanding and caring towards me.

He puts my feelings before his own. I promised myself at that time, that I would be more mature and position myself as an understanding boyfriend for her.

After Father, Mother, Recca and Randy woke up, we gathered in the dining room for breakfast together.

A very sweet sight for me, seeing brother Iyas can blend in with all my family members.

"Perhaps with my family, my brother will not feel alone anymore" I murmured.

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

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

Five days later......

Hanifa and the others were already on their way back to Bandung. Me and brother Dhika will pick them up to the airport. Dhika's sister has brought Hanifa's car from her home.

"Dec, what are Iyas' legs?" ask brother Dhika.

"Keep it anyway, because two days of the same therapy he also can not stand for long until his legs recover" I replied.

"Good, because at the outlet Iyas tuh very workaholic. Asked to change for a break did not want" he said.

We also talked about the work habits of Iyas' brother who was too hard. We didn't feel like we were at the airport.

---------------------------------

"Rain, it's so exciting to know! Crazy yes I first saw the beach sand as white and clean as that" said Nunu enthusiastically.

"Next time you really have to go there rain!" sahut Gian's.

All my friends told me about the excitement during their vacation in Lombok. Then after we got into the car, Dhika suddenly said something that made us all speechless.

"Okay, you've all had your last field lecture even you've had a vacation. From tomorrow you must make a report for exposure" ....

"Apaan sak, only until the time has been told to make a report" said Hanifa.

"Look at the academic calendar, next week you have UAS and next week you are still exposing that you will officially become a final-level student" explained Kak Dhika.

We exchanged lyrics with each other. Realizing that we belong to the old generation. Finally, I will soon be KKN and PKL. I can't wait to graduate soon. I want to get to work and make both my parents happy. Then after that, ah it's such a thing that I don't need to tell you anymore.

"We don't have to gather first, mending you hibernate all day until tomorrow so don't be too cape. We'll go to college for group work" I said.

They agreed with my suggestion, me and brother Dhika drove them to the boarding one by one. Until finally it was me, Hanifa and brother Dhika in the car.

"Sister, anterin me to the outlet huh? I want to check on Iyas" I said.

"Okay" he replied.

Towards the outlet, I told the condition of brother Iyas to Hanifa. He was also worried and asked me to keep an eye on his diet and work patterns.

"Sir dhika can talk about Iyas workaholic, even though he is also the same as Rain" ledek Hanifa.

"Yes really hahaha, they fit because they are all similar. Yeah, not really?" I'm getting stuck with Dhika.

"OK okay, ladies. Just don't get my patience!" resigned answer.

Arriving at the outlet, Dhika continued to directly deliver Hanifa to her house. While I'm going to check on Iyas' brother and go home with him.

Outlets are still crowded, although not as crowded at the time of launching. I see the condition of the display on the front, a bit boring. The choice of color of the jacket and pants impressed darkmode.

I think it's less pleasing to the eye. Especially when it is dark, I guarantee that the display is not clearly visible.

When he entered, Brother Iyas was sitting while chatting with his outlet head. His name is Mr. Fikry. He was five years older than Iyas. I heard a story about Mr. Fikry from Brother Iyas.

I do not understand the systematics of this outlet, as far as I sell outdoor clothing with many brands. From local and abroad. According to Iyas, he only invested and then got one outlet as a handle. Maybe the same with the system when you want to open a minimarket.

"Honey" she cried for a moment after seeing me.

I sat next to him after greeting Mr. Fikry. They seemed to be having a casual chat about outlet income and goods.

"Well, if so, mending the Dhika is allowed to open a new outlet. Maybe he wants to be independent. Stay later I submit to the location of the placement where" said Mr. Fikry.

According to my guess, they must be talking about Dhika's brother's plan to open his new outlet in Jakarta. She wants to live with her parents again in Jakarta.

Understandably, Papa Kak Dhika has often been sickly. Her mother was lonely because she had no friends. Most of their families live in Sulawesi. Sister Dhika definitely wants to take better care of both her parents.

Shortly thereafter, Mr. Fikry decided to control the other outlets.

Iyas and I look at each other now. It seems we are thinking the same thing. Iyas and I thought about Hanifa. How did Hanifa feel when she found out that Dhika's sister was going to move permanently to Jakarta?

"Said the Dhika anyway, before he moved to Jakarta permanently, he wanted to talk to Papanya Hanifa about his serious plan with Hanifa. We wait" he said.
