Dreams of Devi
Departure in the Morning



Today was my first time going to school on a motorcycle. Actually there is no need to leave early in the morning because no more than ten minutes I can get there. However, the habit of leaving early in the morning seems to have been attached to me. And today I leave as usual.


I drove my motorcycle at 20 km/h, very slowly. I want to enjoy the morning air that is still covered in thin fog. The streets are also still very quiet, I can freely choose the village streets that some parts are no longer smooth.


The alleyway of Alwi's house I just passed. My friend has not appeared there. Naturally, he already did not need to leave early in the morning to go to school. It could be that he left home half-seven and of course with incredible speed.


The route I took was different than usual. The road will eventually lead to a motorcycle daycare located south of the school. Yes, even though it is further away from the route when cycling, this is nothing compared to the fatigue when pedaling a bike.


After nearly ten minutes of travel, I arrived in front of Pak Ageng parking lot. Pak Ageng parking lot is one of the favorite parking lots of friends because it is not too far from school. This morning I left very early, the proof is that there is only my motorbike parked there.


"I nitip the bike, sir," I said to Mr. Ageng who was sweeping the yard. I know if he was Mr. Ageng because at that time I had accompanied Nindi to take his motorcycle.


"Yes, Nduk. First time here, huh?" ask Mr. Ageng. Maybe he was a stranger to me.


"Yes, Sir. I just got a bike this time."


"Oh, pantesan, I rarely see you, Nduk."


"Yes, Sir. Come, Sir. I go first," said I who was replied with a nod and a friendly smile Mr. Ageng.


Next I had to walk 100 meters to get to school. At the fork in the road, I passed Alwi who was piggybacking Nindi. They called my name until I was a little surprised.


"Wait a minute!" shout Nindi.


"Wait there!"


I'm clucking, why are they that stupid. Fortunately, there was no one here. Maybe it will be different if there are people who know our noise.


"Devi!" Nindi ran a little towards me, it seemed like Alwi she just left.


"Oh, don't scream. You don't deserve that. Usually calm, must be the Alwi contagion," my chirps denounced Nindi's attitude. Nindi just grimaced calling me.


"You got a motor?" As expected, surely the question Nindi will ask.


"No, I was with my neighbor. It just so happened that he was passing through here, so I asked to be dropped here," I said in a lie but it made sense.


"Oh, why don't you ask to go down to school?" ask Nindi again.


"Oh, Nin, you're lying. Devi brought her own motorbike. I saw him leave early in the morning. He's just like the way of a catapult, like a turtle," explained Alwi meredekku. I don't think I saw him.


"You don't make up your own story, Al. Who did you say?"


"I was at the stall when you walked by. I've been calling you, but you're a bud*g base, so keep going, right?"


I just grimaced, in fact I did not hear anyone's voice while riding the motorcycle. Alwi who managed to investigate my lies actually imitated me who grimaced. He then did his habit, pinching my arm without feeling sinful.


"Ih, sick tofu. Nin, next time you teach me some manners, dong, his girlfriend!" my protest to Nindi.


"Keep asking for what? Ask to kiss?" Alwi turned his lips, and Nindi stared intently at her boyfriend.


"Fire just be your girlfriend. She's being a boyfriend is no use either," I said inciting Nindi. Me and my two friends were still continuing the commotion despite being on their way to school.


"Eh, good! I've worked so hard to get Nindi, you could have told her to fire me!" cerocos Earth.


"Eh, you forgot, who helped you make the real feelings for Nindi? Yeah, gini, nuts forget about the skin!"


Nindi who happened to be between me and Alwi seemed to be silent. He massaged his temple, probably dizzy with Alwi's squabbling with me. Nindi also broke us.


"Oh, dizzy me. Why do you guys have to make a noise so early?" asked Nindi who was tired of facing me and Alwi.


"Yes, if the midnight storm is not good, so we are noisy now" I chanted.


"Well, that's right" timpal Alwi agreed with my words.


Nindi shook her head while clucking. He then walked a few steps ahead of me and Alwi. Alwi tried quickly to pursue the lover of the heart. I slowly watched Alwi who linked his fingers to Nindi's hand. The two even paused for a moment, it seemed like Alwi was apologizing for his attitude that messed with Nindi's mood this morning. Weh, early in the morning get a fresh view like this. I want to, too, God!


"The world belongs to both, the other is merely displaced" I quipped as I preceded them. A sharp look of Alwi was given to me, but I returned with a mouth that mocked him.


"Astaghfirullah, Nin, please, his friend was taught manners!" Alwi pointed at me. For a long time I felt sorry for Nindi, since she was a victim of me and Alwi.


That unfinished commotion while I stopped. I'd rather go straight to class than be with two humans who are drunk on romance.


Upon arrival at school, I found a gate that was not yet open. I'm trying to tiptoe to see if Mr. Ghani is in his place. Honey, the glass from the black security guard post didn't help me find Mr. Ghani there.


"What's up, Nduk?" I heard Mr. Ghani's voice.


"The flight hasn't been opened yet, has it?" my many.


"You open it yourself, yeah. It's not locked."


At first glance I observed the lock. Apparently there is a padlock whose condition has been matched with the key, meaning it has been opened. I pushed the gate until access to the school grounds was no longer restricted.


"Thank you, Bi. Don't forget yesterday afternoon's vegetables warmed up again!"


As! I thought I was his maid. Alwi walked down the street holding Nindi's hand as if provoking my anger. Duh, Gusti, O Allah, I revoke my prayer that once asked to go with Alwi again. Turns out he's pretty blood-soaked this time.


"Alwi, until class don't expect you to be safe!" I shouted who could not stand it anymore.


Alwi ran away from Nindi. Maybe he's already hunching if I'm going to avenge his actions. I walked over to Nindi who was laughing.


"You're so funny, from earlier actually my stomach hurt because of laughing," said Nindi embrace me.


"Aren't you angry?"


"angry? No, I was just acting."


Huh! safe then. I thought Nindi was really angry.
