College Or College Ah?

Rhyme

The tomb overgrown with green grass accompanied by the fragrance of frangipani flowers scattered carried by the sweep of the wind, became a witness when drops by tears fell. Three sluggishly crouching adult women with the gloomiest faces in the world, now find their nostrils.

"How are you, dear nunu? We miss loh. Sorry for just looking at three because we are all looking. This year, Raina moved to Bandung Nu.. So, we will often meet four. What flowers do you want us to bring?"

"White rose or lily? Ntar every inch, we change the flowers!"...

"Nu, I know we argue most often first. Now I have no debate. So the lecturer who debates the same students turns out to be bosen as well. Mending same with you because abis it you buyin I maklor in the canteen"...

 

As Pidi Baiq said "Separation is a ceremony to welcome the days of longing"...

Like that it also feels like writing a lot of rhymes about longing for the lost, but never counted. For he has become a shadow. Can only be remembered.

 

"We're going to the mall yuk? Take Izaz with Chai. I want to buy them toys" said Arika.

"Wow rich aunty what is rich lecturer?" ledek Hanifa's.

"Udah-udah, okay we pick them up yuuu rik but not just his son dong who is treated. His mother also needs a loan agreement using Bandung money" I said intend to divorce.

"Iye iyeeee" concluded Arika while returning to driving.

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

That night at Hanifa's....

Ka Iyas and Ka Dhika were having a great time making coffee while talking about something about the business on the back porch. Izaz and Chai had gone to bed a few minutes ago.

While Hanifa was busy scrolling her hape.

Me ?? I was sleepy actually, but my mind was floating around remembering Arika's offer this afternoon.

"Where to rik, I'm just S1" I complained.

"Can, I'll recommend. You're cumlaude first. Must be Miss Epon wants" explained Arika.

The offer to be an asdos this afternoon did sound tempting. Weighing from our economic conditions that need enough money to buy a house in Bandung.

"When I have a monthly salary, I can help for daily needs and pre-school Izaz later. So, Iyas money is really a priority to buy a house" I thought.

Since this afternoon, Sister Iyas has not responded after hearing my desire to become a lecturer in Geography Society. I was restless waiting for his response.

So far, he has never allowed me to help him work in the Garden. Even to be his assistant who is only in charge of recording the inventory of tools in the garden.

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

Towards sleep....

"Dear, how? Can't you? Can ya? I loved that class a long time ago. This rich dream comes true lohhh for me" persuaded me as I hugged the arm of brother Iyas from the side.

"Who would you like to work with? We also have not got a suitable house, have not moved from Palembang, have not searched and register pre-school for Izaz. You will be tired loh Raina" grumbled.

I understood his words, let alone heard him call me just by name like that. Iyas signaled that our conversation had reached its end and there was nothing more to argue about. He always does, once yes is yes and not at all.

"Yaudah, you find your own money until the house you want. I know it's okay" I concluded while moving away from his side.

.......

That night we spent it quiet. After the chat full of our ambition, we instead chose to be both silent. Until the next morning we had to leave Hanifa's house and go home to Father and Mother.

"Ntar sometime nginep again ya na! The chai of the court was inside Izaz" Hanifa said.

"Yes tantee, later Iz invite Mama to come here again very longaaaa" said Iz excited.
