Good Bye Jakarta

Chapter 3 Good Bye, Jakarta

Dea.

I left the city of Jakarta with half a heart left here. Not because of the Azka bang, this is because from now on I will no longer stay at home with mom and dad.

I've fixed my heart, will no longer remember and call that one name, let it be lost in distance and time. I will not return to this city in a long time, not until when. After all, mama and papa have promised to visit me often in Makassar city later.

I did not have time to say goodbye to Arga and Aya's mother. After Maghrib, we left for the airport, I heard my mother say that Caca and bang Aufar were not home. It's okay, maybe someday I can meet with them again, but for the Azka bang, hopefully not!

If there is a prayer I most want to ask to be answered, then, so the prayer that I will never again be reunited with the Azka bang forever even in the next life is the first prayer on my wishlist.

I hugged my mom and dad tightly, it was hard to leave them both, but my grandpa and grandma needed me more.

"You be careful well baby, don't be stubborn, it's a little treated body, so that the beauty of the mama's child can be seen." Mama smiled, but her tears kept piling up in the corner of her eyes.

"Don't forget to pray, take care. Can't be girlfriends. Okay!" Dad added and hugged my body very tightly. Although he did not soften like his mother, but his eyes also turned red. It was like weight taking me away.

I nodded, I kept trying hard, this had become my wish, once the screen unfolded, abstinence receded.

I stepped slowly into the check-in, and my mom and dad kept waving their hands until they could no longer reach my sight.

The plane took off at 9.30 pm, accompanied by a not so heavy rain, Garuda Indonesia plane took me away from my hometown.

Good bye, Jakarta!

See you next time!!!

I put the headphones on my phone into my ear, no music, I just love putting them in my ear. I pulled out my hoodie headgear, set my seat back and then chose to close my eyes until I entered the sleep realm along the air journey from Jakarta to Makassar.

*****

I live my days beautifully in Daeng City which is famous for its people's hard character but highly upholding the series' (embarrassed) culture. Classes 11 and 12 I spent in one of the best private schools in town.

I transformed into a jolly and sociable girl. The behavior in Jakarta I did not bring to this city, here I have many friends. Although I am a new student, it is not difficult for me to get along with anyone. Especially with a good looking, smart face and from the big city of Jakarta, all that is enough to make me a popular student at school.

Bang Azka just broke my heart, back then, but not with my future. I'll be fine. The experience with him made me no longer hang my hopes on one person, I should have used the saying, "one died grew a thousand. One door is closed and another door will open."

He could have broken my heart back then, but that's enough. Now I'm going a long way ahead, leaving behind all the feelings I've ever felt for her. I'm doing fine!

Although my family is quite capable, but I chose to use the angkot to campus. Coincidentally my grandparents' house is not far from campus, just take a pete-pete (angkot) 5 minutes, then I will soon arrive in front of the basketball court close to the building where I studied. But because my status is still a freshman so I always enter the campus through the back, down the angkotnya near the workshop said people call it.

"New students too?" Suddenly there was a male voice heard in my ear. I glanced at the origin of the sound, it was still early in the morning so it was just the two of us who were on top of the angkot.

I pointed at myself and called him.

"Yes, new student. You?"

"Same. Meet me, I'm a Storm of electrical engineering." He stretched out his hand and I welcomed him to shake his hand.

"Deans. Shipment!" Answer's short.

"Why shipping? Why not electro or architecture?" Ask curiously.

"Destiny is possible." My answer was to make us both laugh.

The storm stopped the angkot, I went down and walked with him until he first turned up to the 4th floor of the building where he went to college. I myself still walked a little straight ahead then turned left ahead of the civil department, before the red field. I walked and met a fellow freshman in the same major. We are currently conducting a collection to prepare for Ospek's time on campus.

I was greeted by a sweet, bespectacled girl whose costume looks exactly the same as mine.

"Hey.i'm Rara. Looks like we'll be in class." He tried to get along.

"Oh yeah? I'm Dea. Greet the other friends." I invite Rara to join other friends who have been gathered by the seniors first.

Since then, Rara and I have been friends. Rara's a fun guy. Ceplas ceplos, not the sycophant friends. If wrong is wrong, ugly is ugly, he is very honest when talking, lack sometimes he talks like less in the filter, sometimes irritated too, but the lack is doang, the advantages are many.

And accidentally we had met with the Storm in the cafeteria near the boarding area of students on campus. Since then we often walk three, just looking for books and looking for the materials we need for during the Ospek period.

The storm is very funny, humorous and reliable as a friend. Rara and I have the same principle, no courtship before marriage! While the Storm seemed to have trouble getting a girlfriend because it was too busy taking care of the two of us. Where is there a stupid girl who wants to date a man whose life has been dominated by his friends???

Although the Storm had a different lecture schedule than ours, it was not an obstacle for us to meet. Because my house is the closest to the campus, so that's where our basecamp, other friends also like to gather at home doing college tasks. Not even a few friends Storm of electrical engineering who often gather in basecamp.

Boy friends like to gather at home, because there are grandfathers who can be invited to play chess even the most interesting of grandfathers, they are given shooting practice in the backyard of the house is quite spacious.

Again, I had no trouble finding friends.
