Even & Odd

30

The twins' living room was bustling with laughter today. There are twins, and Niko is also Aries there. Today is a special day for UTBK participants. Yeah, you guys are right. Today is the determinant of whether Fersya and Niko escaped or not.

This family room has two long sofas, a small sofa, a red fur carpet underneath and also a television facing the sofa. The red fur carpet was filled with snacks, both provided by the host and those brought by Niko or Aries.

At this time they still had time to laugh because neither Fersya nor Niko had seen the results of their exams. They decided to watch a movie first only after that look at the results of the exam.

After the movie they watched ran out, Fesya and Niko immediately took the laptop they had stored on the sofa. Open your laptop and start browsing the UTBK website. Can't be lied to if they're both nervous right now.

Fersya prayed, whatever the outcome may be best for him. Fersya squeezed the cursor of his laptop and instantly closed his eyes for not daring to look at the results of his test.

"Fer, I swear you have to see the results of UTBK lo" said Farsya while shaking his shoulder.

Hearing Farsya's enthusiastic voice made Fersya curious. Slowly he opened his eyes and there he saw his name and the campus and his dream department on the laptop screen.

The twins screamed and hugged each other. Unlike the results of UTBK Fersya, the results of UTBK Niko are not as desired. Nope. Not because Niko did not pass this UTBK, her name is listed on the laptop screen, but the campus and the department that accompanies her name is not the campus of her dreams and is not the major of her dreams.

Fersya who realized that Niko's attitude was inversely proportional to him immediately saw the man's laptop screen and knew why Niko behaved like that.

"At least you've tried your best, Nik." His hand was raised stroking Niko's shoulder. Niko smiled and nodded, suddenly Netfl*x's opening voice distracted them. Apparently Aries has already tuned one of the films.

"Mending continue watching."

As Aries said, the twins and Niko who are already familiar with Aries habits like that just shook their heads. But Niko is grateful that Aries' actions have distracted Niko a little.

The days go by, the twins and Niko are busy preparing for re-registration. Moreover, Fersya also had to find a boarding house for his residence later in Malang. While Aries is busy training with Mr. Andre.

After all the re-registration files have been completed in the care and Fersya has also found the right boarding house that he feels quite comfortable for Fersya to live in. Fersya plans to take a walk to a place that Farsya likes. Especially if it is not a book. Her twin always likes things that smell of books.

But it is not the library that Fersya plans, but the cafe. Nowadays there are many cafes that carry the theme of the library and there is one of the book cafes located in Central Park, West Jakarta, the cafe makes Fersya interested in coming to him.

Previously Fersya had prepared what transportation would be used to go there. Luckily Central Park has easy transportation to reach, one of which is Transjakarta. And this is the second time the twins boarded the Transjakarta bus.

If at that time the condition of the bus was not too crowded, the difference now, the situation was quite crowded so that the twins had to dock to one of the bus doors. The twins looked at each other and then they laughed.

"Where are you going to take me, Fer?" ask Farsya.

"Udah lo stay ngikut aja. Anyway from leaving until my return home who treat."

Farsya nodded with an irritated lip, then turned her eyes to see the road through the bus door, "But I'm really into it, as if you love the cake."

"Yes, we're going to Central Park."

Farsya hit his twin arm, "Ngapain went all the way."

Fersya replied with a flick on his lips and stroked his arm that Farsya had hit.

They finally reached the destination. Fersya immediately clasped his twin hand and took it to the destination. Farsya who was curious to be taken where by this twin, finally found out. Fersya takes her to a book cafe called Nanny's Pavillon Library.

Farsya looked towards Fersya and shook his head. He did not understand anymore with this twin, how the twin could know that Farsya wanted to come to this cafe. Had several times the intention to visit this cafe itself, but because Farsya has not dared, especially the distance of his house with this cafe is quite far, so Farsya always undo his intentions. Farsya had Fersya in her life.

After this the two of them will be busy with their respective tasks and they will rarely meet. Farsya had to learn to be independent and dare to go anywhere on his own, because sooner or later something like this would happen. People will always come and go, whether they are near or far.

The twins immediately walked into the cafe and spent time there. Farsya was busy with her loan book and Fersya was busy with her food. If we are enjoying something with loved ones, usually time will pass very quickly. And that's what the twins felt. If only his mother hadn't contacted Fersya, maybe they'd be there by night.

When he was about to sleep, Fersya's phone rang, he asked who dared to disturb him who was about to sleep like this. The name of Aries was there and he immediately received the call.

"What's Ris calling malem-malem?" asked Fersya directly after the call he picked up.

"So, really stylish, I usually call this clock."

"Haha. I'm still a little uncomfortable, we're talking about me you."

"You're so happy, Fer, no problem. Calling is not important. Because I know, you want to call me whatever it is, you like me."

"Aris, Aris, wonder why your kegeeran never cross the line." Fersya shook his head while moving his position on his back.

Pause for a moment, Fersya was confused why Aries did not stop chiming in his ridicule. Is Aries asleep? That's Fersya's thinking.

"Riss? You don't sleep first, do you?" ask Fersya to make sure Aries really sleeps.

"No, it was just the curiosity of something fitting the date."

"What target?"

"Tomorrow, I'll tell him. Will we meet in the park tomorrow?"

"My house or yours?"

"Your house, let me take you home."

Fersya just nodded, he knew Aries definitely knew the answer. Because tomorrow he just has to wait for Aries to pick him up.

"Ohiya, how were the streets the same twin?" this time Aries who moved positions, from the study table to the mattress and sleep on his back.

Fersya was just engrossed in telling Aries, according to him Aries is a very good listener. Aries is a type of person who talks a lot, but he knows where to talk and where to be quiet and listen. That's why Fersya is comfortable with Aries.

Move position to the right, then to the left, and on the stomach. Until all that remained was Fersya's fine snoring. Yes, Fersya overslept and Aries realized that. Although Fersya did not hear it, it would not hurt to say it.

"Good sleep Fer, if the nightmare, just wake up do not forget prayer. Tomorrow I'll pick you up. Once again good night."

Aries switched off their phone and went to bed soon too. On the other hand Fersya was already asleep with a prone position and a cellphone that was still clasped in his hand.

Fersya is already beautiful with a mini dress made by Farsya. Yes, Fersya borrowed a dress from Farsya. It's not that Fersya doesn't have a dress, he does, it's just that he forgot where to put it. Because Fersya more often wear pants than a dress or skirt when traveling this is how it becomes.

"Tumben wear a dress, honey?" fani asked as she walked out of her room.

Fersya glanced at the mother and continued to play her phone. "For the sake of Ma."

Fani sits next to Fersya and picks up the remote that is on his right side. "Would you meet Aris? Don't forget to tell him that you're going to Malang for another week."

Ah, yes Fersya forgot that one week from now Fersya will go to Malang. More precisely stay during the education process. And maybe Fersya forgot to tell Aries.

Finally Aries came with his bike, he left his bike at Fersya's house and said goodbye to Fani. Aries said that he only took Fersya to the complex park. Fani joked, taken wherever Fersya would like and Fani will always allow. Fersya just blew his mouth when Aries and Fani laughed with their jokes.

Aries and Fersya chatted all the way to the park, arriving at the park they sat in their favorite spot.

"Ris, why don't you ask why I'm wearing a dress today?" ask Fersya. Actually Fersya wants to know Aries' response about him today. Maybe he looks ugly wearing a dress and Aries does not touch him at all.

"Why should I be asked? Wear whatever you like Fer. Because you want to wear whatever clothes my answer remains the same. Pretty."

Fersya blushed with Aries speech, and to cover it Fersya instead splashed his mouth and pretended to stare dejectedly at Aries.

"Gombal deh."

Aries just laughed in return. They were silent for a moment, enjoying the breeze of the wind and seeing people passing in front of them. In the afternoon, the park is always crowded. Because the weather is not too hot or cold makes people want to gather and spend dusk here.

"Oh yeah, you want to tell me what Ris is?"

Aries reached into his pants pocket and took out his wallet there. Fersya was confused of course, but he was just waiting for what Aries would take out of his wallet.

"Ticket?"

Aries nodded, "The next time I'm selected and that's the entrance ticket."

"Seriously?!" said Fersya surprised as he looked at the ticket, "I must have come."

"Tomorrow to go home first, let's go with Mom."

"Mother aja? Dad, Ira's not coming? Is it because I can't come? Tickets are limited, right Ris? You should love your family just Aris." said Fersya in a row that makes Aries laugh.

"The ticket is limited, but not because you are Fer. Father on that day was out of town because there was work, while Mbak Ira could not leave his class because there was a presentation. Just that they're dropping a dividioin anyway."

Fersya laughed, "Ah, that's easy. I'll vidioin."

Fersya was still looking at the tickets given by Aries and he always remembered, there are things that Fersya must tell Aries as well.

"Oh yes Ris."

Aries turned towards Fersya, "Hm?"

"Next week I go to Malang, Ris. More precisely, I will settle in Malang starting next week." Fersya stared back at Aries.

Aries just nodded.

"Ris, how ever since dating me you became a gini pendiem anyway, usually take care."

"I'm laper Fer. You don't realize what, behind you there's a meatball again and I actually steal a look at the meatball."

Fersya sighed and looked back. Sure enough, there's a meatball. Fersya pulled Aries' hand and took him there. They ordered two bowls and ate there.

They were done with their own food and Fersya thought of something. "Ris, our relationship is going to be all right, right?"

"Because of LDR?" Fersya.

"Either. We don't know what's going to happen next. So," who had been looking straight ahead Aries, he moved his direction in front of Fersya.

"So, instead of worrying about what kind of future we don't know. We should try as much as possible for our relationship. Enjoy every process and journey of our relationship. I hope our communication is good."

Fersya sighed, Aries really, rather than worrying about what the future will be like, it is better to do the best in the present that will be for the future.

"We both need to keep in communication."

Aries and Fersya are still busy chatting until Aries feels Maghrib time will soon arrive. So, the two of them went home to Fersya. After Aries prayed maghrib at the Mushola complex, he said goodbye and immediately went home.

Fersya drove him to the porch of the house and waited for Aries to go run his new bike he would enter the house. Aries said goodbye to Fersya and waved his hand.

"Be careful, Ris"
