DORM WITHOUT CONTAINER

CHAPTER 20: A FUTILE WAIT

At the site of a simple flower garden in the middle of the dormitory of Kotabumi School of Health Nurses, sat two very familiar friends on a park bench near a large tree. From the beginning they sit until now, still remain silent and do not know what is in mind to these two friends.

Not long after, suddenly…!!!

"Lo is so cruel, Dess! Do not hang his love Ilham so dong, ntar doi in sambar new people know the taste of lo…!" grumbled Rita.

"Well, what else, Ta! I don't like it, but I still have great doubts about his heart, brother Ilham. I'm afraid because of its popularity, brother Ilham must be surrounded by many girls' and elo know for yourself Ilham many activities, I'm worried that time for me to be with him will no longer exist. Than later already been and regret better like this just used to be, Ta!" reply Dessy.

"Yes Dess, at least you can give a definite answer to his declaration of love, whether you accept it, or reject it. Not really if the decision is in between, pity him if you hang it that without certainty" said Rita.

"Hmm, either Ta, I hope that with no decision or my answer to Ilham, hopefully he will be more seriously pointing to the cave if his heart is really for me, he said, not divided by others!" Obviously Dessy.

"Did you forget all the sacrifices he made for you, Des!?" continued Rita.

"No, I remember. And God willing I will never forget that!" dessy replied casually.

"Keep why you are still like that, the elo lakin ma kak Ilham according to me has been too excessive Des, is it possible that all this is because Herisman Setiawan, elo's boyfriend used to be in High School, man' who has left the elo without cause and there is no clarity of it?!" ask Rita.

"Rita, please deh. Don't take Herisman Setiawan's name!" Dessy Pinta.

"But you're still in love with Herisman Setiawan?" ask Rita again.

"Hm..Maybe!" reply Dessy.

"Oh Des...!, why do you still love Herisman Setiawan? He is clearly dead and has become an old story of the past elo that is time elo wrap. Did you forget? Is it because he's your first love so even though he has to keep it up?!" Obviously Rita.

"Even so, I still love her, Ta…!!! I will continue to look forward to his return in my life!". Obviously Dessy remained with her own thoughts.

"Yes yes, it's up to you! I don't want to be too involved in the elo problem and dah males take care of this problem again, the important thing is I've told you ama elo and give advice that I think is good" rita said with her jutek.

"Emang, who told you to take care of this problem? Anyway, how the hell do you sewot if I hang his love brother Ilham? Don't-don't, you like him?” god Dessy.

"Who said? Honestly yes Des, which girl does not want with brother Ilham and I like ma brother Ilham but remember yes Des, Des, I have a perinsidik not a mikang elo heart problem with brother Ilham, I still have a heart!" reply Rita.

"Where does the problem go?" dessy asked.

"Yes I feel sorry for my brother Ilham not good what he is, not just with elo aja yes Des, with everyone. Try if your love is hanging with a guy'? Do you want to!?" Rita said again.

"No really. So, according to Elo, how should I do?" ask Dessy.

"Jalani aja lo days with brother Ilham. I'm sure, someday there will be a time, you can definitely open your heart completely and completely for him!" rita said she gave advice.

"Hmm, okay. I follow your advice. But if I'm half-hearted or have no heart for him, how?" ask Dessy.

"Well, that's up to you. What is important and what I know is that the heart of Elo is really dear brother Ilham Des, therefore you have to tell the truth, do not hang up again his love of Ilham!" answer Rita.

"Well, Ta, I'll try what you want!" Dessy.

"Sorry Des, don't mind because I'm the reason you accept Ilham, I only suggest the best for you but that's also if you don't mind living it, if it's heavy...! It's up to you!" Rita continued to explain.

Then, the two friends went home to the same dorm room but each bed.

Dessy and Rita, they are very close friends. But, a few days ago, a guy' named Ilham, who was also a first-rate upperclassman, was, the head of the osis and their first entry into the dorm became the head of the Study Program Introduction (PPS) for Dessy and Rita, then Ilham expressed his love for Dessy in terms of many girls'-cewe' in the dormitory either sister level, class or even a younger class who really likes Insham.

However, Dessy did not answer a love statement from Ilham. I don't know why Dessy didn't answer until now. Could it be because Ilham so many like to make Dessy doubt his decision which later met a mistake or maybe, because in Dessy's heart is still engraved the name of Herisman Setiawan, his ex first? Hmmmm, only he and God know why.

A few days and days later, Dessy and Ilham looked closer. More and more eyes that see their closeness as if jealous to see it, the, when the service happened to be with Dessy and Ilham in a joint seat in the bus to shuttle the field practice students and students of the School of Health Nurses, if Dessy who first came home from the hospital room, the hospital room, Dessy who provides a chair and vice versa, if Ilham first then Ilham who will provide a chair for Dessy beside him.

Arriving at the dormitory, they took a meal and dined together in the dining room. Study the night together and sometimes they spend their days together until they want to leave the apple morning and night they walk together.

Until one day, Ilham invited Dessy to eat after returning from work at a Restaurant.

Dessy, without refusing, agreed to the invitation of Inspiration.

While at the Dining House, they ordered food and drinks. While waiting for the order to come, they also talked to each other with a lot of materials that seemed never-ending to be spoken to both. Shortly after, the order arrived. The waiter began to put food and drinks ordered by Dessy and Ilham on the table, before the waiter returned to serve other visitors.

While eating their food, Ilham suddenly asked…!

"Des...!, is Dessy now able to give an answer about the statement of my brother's heart?"

"Hmmmm, it still doesn't seem like sister. Dessy was still confused about this feeling!". Answer Dessy gently.

"Is this brother's heart less convincing to Dessy?” ask Ilham.

"Fearful brother, Dessy is afraid that the closer brother to Dessy as it is today and when Ilham's brother is far away there will be a very, very deep pain will lose brother!" Obviously Dessy. "While Dessy knows for sure, there are a lot of girls out there who want to be close to you!" Dessy explained.

Then accidentally, Dessy spills the drink onto her own shirt.

"Oh, spilled out!" said Dessy.

"Bah Des, let it go. Niiih wipes make Dessy's shirt clean!" ilham said while giving a box of tissue to Dessy.

"Thank you, brother. Dessy to the toilet firstwell, want to clean clothes!" said Dessy.

While on the toilet, Dessy immediately washed a little of her face with tap water so as not to look frightened and nervous when with Ilham. Then, he looked at the mirror in front of him.

"Duh, how can I be so stubborn if it is near brother Ilham? Not as usual. Or maybe, I started to fall in love with Ilham? I don't know, this heart is getting more and more worried!" dessy said in his heart.

Then, Dessy came out of the toilet.

"I'm sorry, I was walking while daydreaming!" dessy felt guilty.

"Eeeh, so if the road uses tuh mata" replied the man with ketusnya.

"Wait a minute, you.. Herisman Setiawan right?" Dessy asked in surprise.

"Hey Dessy! What News! Wow, we haven't met in a long time. Ooooh yeah, who are you here for?" ask Herisman Setiawan.

"Aaaannu, I'm here the same…!" With a slight stutter Dessy replied.

"Daddy's boyfriend? Wow, that's cool!" herisman Setiawan cuts off Dessy's speech.

"No. I'm here with my foster brother!" Dessy.

"Oooh, foster sister...! then you're still single dong?" ask Herisman.

"Yes... That's how!" brief Dessy.

"Waaah, if so we are the same dong. I'm single too. Then I can take you out, tomorrow?" Herisman.

"Where?" ask Dessy.

"So, the place is really good. Want huh?" pinta Herisman's.

"Hmmm, if tomorrow is not necessarily also possible, because it depends on the schedule of field service as well!. I now live in the Health Nurse School Dormitory!" reply Dessy.

"Well cool dong, did you finish working?! Who's the guy who doesn't like ma girl' whose future is bright, right!" Herisman.

Then, Herisman immediately left Dessy alone in front of the toilet.

"When I met Herisman, my feelings were normal now? At that point I should have been happy when I met him, after all this time we did not meet. Hmmm, his style and his thoughts were much different when he was together first. Maybe I don't love him anymore? Aaakkkh...! My feelings are getting messed up!" said Dessy.

***

The next day, Herisman comes to the Health Nurse School dormitory to pick up Dessy. It was not an hour out of the dorm so as a guest in the hostel Herisman only got to meet Dessy in the Hall of Dormitories.

"Ooh yeah Des, you still like me?" asked Herisman confidently without further ado.

"Hm.. I…!" not ready for Dessy to answer his question, suddenly Herisman cut off Dessy's speech.

"You know Des, lately I've been feeling weird about living this life and feeling really lonely. It's probably because my life is empty without you. Honestly, Des, when we were together, I had a girlfriend besides you. Her name is Dian Permatasari. I mean by doing that, because I want to choose the best between the two of you. And finally, I prefer Dian Permatasari and try to stay away from you. But my choice was completely wrong. Dian Permatasari wasn't as good as I thought. And it turns out, the best woman is you. Do you want to be my girlfriend again?" herisman said at length.

Suddenly, Dessy was silent in a thousand languages and her tears began to roll in her eyelids that she had been holding.

"Sorry Her, I've been very comfortable with other people" Dessy said, sobbing sadly.

"Who's that guy, Des?" Ask Herisman.

"You don't need to know, her. The point is, he's the only one who's always near me when you leave me without any news and he's always there to fill my days full of pressure and heavy burdens to live!" Obviously Dessy.

"Are you sure and sure about me, Des? Don't you think about how I feel that I still love you?" Herisman.

"I should have asked you that question! Did you ever think about my feelings, when you left me all of a sudden? Did you see my feelings being messed up all this time because of you?" said Dessy in a high tone.

"But Des….!"

"Here you go, I'm sick of your selfishness! From now on, never approach me again!" snapped Dessy while leaving Herisman.

***

Geck... Geck... Tok…!!!

"Excuse me.. Rita, what are you in the room?" call Dessy from the outside.

"What's Des?" rita asked who had opened the room door.

Dessy hugged Rita tightly. Rita was surprised by the behavior of her best friend who suddenly did that.

"What's up, Des? How did you cry anyway?". Rita asked to know.

"Sir, Ta... Herisman has come…!" Obviously Dessy.

"What happened to Herisman?" ask Rita.

"He asked me to return it again. And apparently, the reason he left me without any news was because he preferred another girl besides me!" said Dessy who was still crying in Rita's arms.

"No, I'm sure he's not the right guy for you. So, you want to turn it around with him?" ask Rita.

"Yes not it. She has left me for another girl. Obviously it took my heart a lot of beating" Dessy explained.

A few days after the incident, Dessy and Ilham officially became lovers. They seemed to be together in all things and all circumstances with jokes and laughter, and there was a clear happiness between Dessy and Ilham.

It turns out that for a long time Dessy had ignored the sincere love of Inspiration because of her fear of the presence of Inspiration and still expected Herisman because Dessy felt Herisman was the first love and cared for her but in reality turned around directions.
