Father of My Son

The Distance Between Them

"He's getting hotter, huh?" praise one of the students at the college.

"It's smart again. He's already an S2, right? Where at Harvard again! He's still our own, you know!" other student timpal.

They always make Divan Kenan as the main topic of conversation. Especially when Divan installs new photos in the story and feed. Just imagine, yesterday when Divan accidentally took a photo next to a dumpster with a dino shape, women flocked to buy it online.

"I want to be his wife" one of the student gang dreams. He was too excited until the French fries dropped and left stains on his shoes.

"ii-ih! Dirty," he lamented in a coquettish voice. He looked back. There was a girl with hair slightly exceeding the shoulders. The girl is learning. Although he cannot participate in the acceleration program, he will try to get a high GPA.

"Daddy, Davina! Here!" call the student. Davina looks up. He didn't wait long. His fear makes the gang angry and pranks him again. Davina couldn't fight because she was alone.

"Why Kingdom?" ask Davina.

Throw tissue on the floor. "Take that! Clean my shoes!" her word.

Davina nodded. He took the wet tissue that Raya dropped on the floor and wiped the girl's shoes. While Raya giggles over how handsome Divan Kenan is, Davina sits crouched down below to clean her shoes.

No one wants to help, not one. Some students feel sorry, but they are also afraid. Students moreover, justice belongs only to those who are beautiful. Davina who has an ordinary face no one cares.

This grievous reality doesn't just happen in the classroom. During the break, Davina was asked to buy them food, then they allowed the girl to go to the library. Davina didn't dare to talk to her parents either. Raya's parents, her papa boss at the office. He was afraid that his stepfather would get into trouble just because of him.

Shake the phone feels from his bag. Davina zipped the bag and pulled out her phone. Exactly as expected, it was a video call from his best friend.

"Divan," said Davina in a whisper. He didn't want anyone to know he was close to Divan. They will certainly use it.

"Where are you?" ask Divan who is sitting on the campus page. There was the sound of men talking there. Another with Davina who just kept quiet in the back yard of the campus.

"I'm learning again. It's quiet here so it's comfortable" Davina replied.

Despite smiling, Divan could still see the look of sadness from the girl. "What's wrong? Is there something bad about you?" ask Divan.

Davina shook her head quickly. "No, really. Davina's college friends are all good. They also often help me. You don't have to worry," lied Vina.

"Cie, date again, broh!" ledek Ferico's.

Divan grunts. "That never had a phone ration with a girl is a sirik only!"

Marcell glanced towards the phone screen, as soon as Divan closed the screen with both palms. "Originally you have a boyfriend. Eih, it's really a girl" Marcell said.

"I thought you weren't normal all this time, Van. It's so cute, but it's jomlo!" Yuno is getting sucked.

"Heh, before you do anyone, read it first! You guys have a girlfriend all this time?" the question made his whole friend lose.

"You know for yourself, there's something I've been waiting for far away" Yuno said.

Divan winks. "That's life what a drama script is," she poked it while rubbing Yuno's face.

Davina just giggled herself to hear the talk of the gang of six jojoba aka jomlo-jomlo happy. "I want to kayak papah and mamah, his soul mate is known from childhood. That's why I'm going to take my future wife to Heren first!"

divan's words hit straight into Davina's heart. The girl's face was blushing. Before long he was shocked because Divan's face again appeared on the screen.  "I think I should find a quiet place first. My friend is a bitch," complained Divan.

Davina nodded. Divan rubs the screen. "You sick?" ask Divan.

"Not really."

"Then is your face red? If the fever breaks, Vin. Don't fuck yourself up."

"Divan Actually. I'm doing fine. Maybe because it's autumn, it's cold. This is where I'm outside. So it feels like the wind." Davina is lying.

He does not want to hang his hopes too high. Only Divan always easily makes his heart pound. Not because of his handsome face with firm jaws, but his kindness and also his attention to Davina. Divan always keeps his promises. Although since Kindergarten they never met again, he always called Davina every day.

"You must take care of your health if the air is cold like this. I'm a miss Heren. What is the city like now?" ask Divan.

"It's still the same, a lot of buildings. Divan when do you come back here?" ask Davina.

Divan chuckles. "If there is a marriage license from my papah," he replied.

Davina's face was blushing. "Are you getting married?"

"Why not? My father married twenty-one years old. Even graduating high school they already have me. They're just happy. I'm envious too" Divan explained. Davina nodded. "Do you want to marry young?" ask the man.

Davina's stunned. "You, you" he replied with a embarrassed face.
