Chapter 4 Loss

Dea.

Not felt, at this time the 5th semester has begun. That means that for 4 years I have never set foot in Jakarta again. Mama and Papa often visit, mama herself sometimes up to 2 times a month come to Makassar. Especially if papa duty abroad, mama more often choose to visit us than join papa.

The news is that my grandfather died of kidney failure. This is not only a loss for our family, but also a loss for my friends and friends. Grandfather has his own charm despite his old age, he is very good at embracing young people like us.

This loss was enough to shake the psyche of grandma. They have been together for over 50 years of marriage, a very long time to go through in a bond of attachment. They are examples of very romantic couples in my opinion. Although the physical is exhausted by age, but the radiance of love from their two pairs of eyes when looking at each other is very envious, soul jombloku instantly thrashed. It wasn't just me, the least powerful Storm seeing their affection. Therefore, Badai is among my friends who feel very lost.

Not long after my grandfather died, exactly a week after I finished, my grandmother came back to face him. This time I was really hit. Losing my grandmother of nearly 6 years with me was like taking a part in my life. That place feels empty. It is not easy to accept the departure of grandmother, because I have promised to stay in this city to accompany her to the end.

Yes, I am still accompanying him here, but I hope not so soon. I do not have my own income yet, but I have promised to give all my first salary later to grandma when I get a job.

"Dea..."

"The..."

"Ali...!!!" Call the Storm anxious see me still daydreaming.

"What the hell, Bad?" Disturb people.

"When to Jakarta?" He asked after sitting with me by the side of the goldfish pond in the front yard.

"Mama and papa want it as soon as possible." Reply lazily.

"So, how?"

"Yes how else my papa mama there, there's no way I'm living here alone while there's still a complete parent."

"True as well. Duh, I'm not ready to be left with you." He throws pellets like a powerless man.

"Sorry, Bad. If you miss me, just stay in this house, rather than empty. Bring the other kids." My proposal gave the idea to the Storm. Count someone guarding the house.

"Woi.seriously! At what shit?" Rara arrived nongol out of nowhere. "That's the face why, Bad? It's like paper has been wrung!" Imperhaps .

"Tau ah, aren't you sad about being left behind by this Dea Ali?" Ask the irritated Storm.

"Yaa erah. later if already the scholar lives later as well. So Jakarta people are eiiyyy!" Rara looked very enthusiastic. Unlike the Storm who snorted annoyedly at seeing Rara.

"Yes, Bad. Anyway you two have to quickly finish college after that followed to Jakarta. Otherwise, I won't want to know you two anymore." I said with a threatening tone.

"I'm mah, yes!" Rara.

We spent our time joking, mostly reminiscing about the past when the ospek started until the two of them who were busy accompanying me completed the thesis.

Storm and Rara are selfless friends, never murmuring when I ask for help, always there when I need them. Ever since my grandmother died, Rara kept me company at home. Only in college did he leave me, but I didn't care if he wanted to spend more time on campus.

"Thanks yeah, De!" Said the Storm while driving me to the airport.

"For?"

"For all the good you and your family have done." Answer the Storm sincerely.

"Don't mention it. I did nothing you know!" I patted the Storm on the shoulder. "If I do good to you, it's the same as doing good to myself in the future." Added.

"Hiks.hikss..well, Dea!" Broke also cries Rara even though she always looks cheerful, even when arriving at the airport she was the most excited.

We hugged each other, letting go of the longing that had begun to mount but had not yet separated.

"I can hug too?" Ask the Storm with his stupid face.

"No!"

"No!"

I and Rara answered at the same time.

"Yes, yes, stingy. Not very fair. Rara gets a hug, I get a punch." Storm protest because we just reflexively hit his arm.

"Even you are now negligent, still won't get a hug from us." Rara said as she touched the Storm's nose.

"Awwww..sickness monyong!" Complaining Storm.

"Have it, don't fight dong! Don't tell me after I leave you two here don't look after each other anymore, I'm really gonna be disappointed."

"Will not, Dea! Take it easy, I'll take care of Rara so that the machine boy's constrictor no longer dares to get him." The Storm sneered towards Rara.

"If you're more busy chasing that pretentious economy kid than me, your room would be I'd bomb a pot bomb!" Rara said she did not want to lose.

"Ha ha ha.you are so funny!" I shook my head to see the argument between the two of them.

I looked at my watch, it was time to check in. "I'm going well, you guys are doing well in college. I'm waiting in Jakarta." I hug Rara again.

"Keep in touch yeah." Said Rara taking off our embrace.

I showed my two thumbs to them and walked inside the airport building. I don't want to turn around staring at them once more, I'm afraid I can't leave this city, I think, half my life has been left behind.

I will miss everything!!!
