Dear Captains
7. Choosing to be Hurt



...We are in the same sky with the same color. I don't know if someday our sky will be the same. Andika and I have a love that is almost the same. Sometimes we think differently....


...Andika has started studying at a different college than me. Even better and better than my college. Andika campus is even located close to Kak Arya campus. Even Andika often said, sometimes cross paths with Arya on the road....


...Early on he became a student his attitude was still the same, still attentive and a little possessive. However, during this time I felt a lot of changes coloring his life....


...We often lose contact. Sometimes it doesn't even work out for a whole week. Maybe he had found his world and sky. Until he changed color. I don't know, life goes on....


...There is a comparative study program that my campus is doing. Incidentally, the campus that is targeted is Andika campus. I intentionally didn't tell him. Because I wanted to surprise him. But it turns out, I was made very surprised. I came to his Faculty and I went to his department. A big smile carried me forward with certainty. I already miss him. My steps stopped when I saw her holding a woman who could be said to be very beautiful and charming. They look very happy. Even their views equally exuded an incredible light of love. I tried to get closer and just wanted to make sure....


..."Dika." My broom...


...Andika who was smiling happily. Suddenly his face changed. It was like seeing a ghost in a hole. And the ghost is me. Andika rushed off her arm with the woman and greeted me back....


..."Sesil?"...


...I just tried to smile in front of them. Trying to think good. Holding back my emotions that would explode at any moment. But I can dam it....


..."It was really Andika." ...


..."Hii. Are you here?"...


..."I happen to have a comparative study here."...


..."Who, Yank."...


...The woman called him 'Yank'. It turns out true my guess, that woman is a special person to him. ...


..."Me, Andika's friend at High School." I give my hand...


..."Ow. I'm Andika's boyfriend. Hello to you." Replying to my hand....


..."You..."...


..."...Excuse me first. Looks like my friends are done and coming back. Greetings to know too. Excuse me." ...


...I left them. Andika called me dozens of times. But I didn't answer. He even sent me a very long spam message. But right now I don't want to read or hear his explanation. My group stopped at a restaurant near the campus of Arya's sister. My phone kept ringing. I see him occasionally. Also from Andika. Stupid time with him. When I wanted to turn off my phone, there was a phone coming in with a name that I kept neatly....


..."Brother Arya!" I hurried to answer the phone "Hello"...


..."Hi, Sil." I heard a soft voice over there....


..."Brother, Arya."...


..."I saw a car with the name of your college parked near my campus."...


..."Oh, there's a comparative study, brother."...


..."That's why I remember you."...


..."Still remember me."...


..."Still." The answer is a bit slow...


..."I was near your college, brother. Is eating. The car you saw, I'm one of the students who participated in the comparative study."...


..."Really true?"...


..."Da."...


..."If my sister doesn't mind. Could be."...


...Arya's sister turned off her phone. Not long ago, Brother Arya was already in front of me. Waving my hands at me. Made all my college friends cheer me up. Because Arya is very handsome....


..."Hiya."...


..."Hi, Sis. How are you?"...


...We separated ourselves from my comparative study team. ...


..."I haven't seen you in a long time, Sil. You're still the same as you used to be, cheerful and sweet."...


..."Don't make me baper."...


..."Really, I'm not lying."...


..."Lying is okay too."...


..."How long have you been here?"...


..."Just until tomorrow morning."...


..."Where are you nginep?"...


..."His college inn Arya."...


..."Which really?"...


..."Ja. Why the hell am I lying."...


..."Why don't you call me."...


..."Me?!!"...


..."Da... Uh, I forgot. You have a boyfriend, why remember me."...


..."Sorry, I don't want to call my sister. But I'm too embarrassed."...


..."Why that? because that night! Just forget it."...


..."How could that be."...


..."You... okay with him?"...


...My eyes glazed. Actually, I tried not to think about it. But. this time somehow when Kak Arya asked that, these tears I can not stand....


..."Kok. What was? why!"...


..."Notwithstanding. I was flickering the wind just now carrying dust."...


...Brother Arya embraced me. Seizing me. The deck still feels soft and comfortable. The smell of his body is the same. A calming fragrance. ...


..."You're not okay!"...


...I just nodded. Then crying in his arms....
