Final Letter
ST20



My three best friends and I enrolled in one of the best universities in our city. We agreed to major in Educational Psychology, which is why the four of us really like to observe the character of others, and can provide solutions to them.


And the funny thing is when one of us is having a problem, we can indirectly know and immediately become a good listener and advisor.


My father did not force his son to enter which major, the important thing is that his son has an education that will be useful in the future.


After successfully registering, we went home to each other, today I was picked up by Dhika, my sister who was so considerate and always be the first when I needed her help.

Arriving at home I went straight into the room and cleaned myself, after which I laid my body on the bed, looking at the ceiling while thinking about what Gigi said last afternoon. A lot of things are my question, how is he doing right now? have you eaten or not? and did he live his day well?. Ah the more I think about the more I want to know what really happened.


This time I tried to bury my curiosity and close my eyes, resting the mind that had been wandering since noon. I hope when I wake up I forget what I heard.

Our days are always full of joy especially after passing the ospek and other processes to become a student at Harapan Bangsa University. Slowly I can forget the figure of Pak Putra, a man who until now I still admire, hopefully he is always okay, and soon find his happiness.


"No wonder we are now students, the new feeling yesterday we became prisoners in the Dormitory" said Gigi who was cool enjoying avocado juice


"Yes, until I'm tired of constantly following you, why don't you take your parents' advice to study abroad huh?" said Lala who seemed to object always followed Gigi


"Your evil words are like a snack to me, I don't want to part with you unless death separates" said an exaggerated tooth


"Basic pe a!" lala sarcas said


"Bodo!"


"They're arguing with each other, but you actually need each other,and you teeth don't rely too much on Lala maybe she wants to have a lover if you keep sticking people will think no-no about you guys" I said with a teasing smile.


"I don't think that far. Is it true that you want to have a lover?" ask plain teeth


"This is why I am the one who was attacked, I want to focus on learning again my age is still easy, I will not date, if I meet the right fit and in line I will just get married"


"I agree with you la, dating is just a waste of time" hesti said


"I just wanted to start my search on this campus, after 3 years I only saw beautiful faces, and finally I could see my opposite sex. Anyway I'm going to do a love search here" Gigi said


"Do it, and I hope you find a possessive man who will curb your freedom to play with us, so that I can escape from your shadows" Lala said back to the sarcophagus on the teeth.


I only noticed the two's child-like behavior, fussing over something that wasn't there.


The school hours were over, the four of them decided to go home. This time Dhika did not pick up, he had sent a message if there was a group assignment at his school and I chose to use the online ojek only.


In less than an hour I was home. I said hello as usual but this time I saw my father at home during office hours.


"Dad, have you come home?"


"Yes, your mother got sick earlier the store clerk called dad "


"What's your mom sick?"


"Your mother fell unconscious in her cake shop after being taken to the hospital, said your mother's doctor"


I was shocked to hear what Dad said, so I felt guilty that I should be the biggest kid I could count on.


"Keep mother's condition how well?"


"Mother has received treatment, father came home to take a change of clothes, while you are at home take care of your brothers and sisters"


"But yeah, I want to come and take care of mom"


"You've just entered college must be busy, you should just be home"


"May ya well, tomorrow I'm in the afternoon. I promise I won't interfere with my college"


I also immediately prepared and changed my clothes, after bringing all my mother's needs immediately followed my father .


30 Minutes later I arrived at the hospital, I followed my father's steps into my mother's room. When I was about to enter the nursery of my mother I saw someone I knew, he was Pak Putra. He was on the phone with someone looking seriously at what he was talking about, until our eyes met for a moment and went silent.


"Son, this is your mother's room" said my father, following me outside.


"I__iya well I'm coming in right away"


Our eyes were cut off until he walked up to me and greeted me.


"You're the Inca, aren't you, a student of the Hope Nation Dormitory?" ask the son who still knows me


"I__iya sir, I'm Inca. Father how are you?"


"I'm good, who are you visiting?"


"Ohh. My mother is sick sir. Your own father?"


"Sama, my mother is also being treated here."


"May be healed soon sir for your parents"


"Thank you, same prayer for your mother"


When they were busy chatting again, Dad came out of the nursery to see me who did not come in.


"Have you been a long time, what is it?" asked my father without seeing anyone beside me.


"Yes yeah, a minute"


"Good afternoon sir" said the son to my father


"Sore" said father


Dad saw the son, who he had seen for the first time, looked polite and mature.


"Who are you?"


"He was my teacher at the dorm" I said when my father asked Mr. Son.


"Ohh, sorry I don't know, you've entered your mother's company"


I also entered the mother's room, while the father was heard talking to Mr. Son.


***


"Meet my sir son, Inca teacher at the dorm"


"Oh yeah, I'm Erwin Inca's father. Are there any family or friends in the care of you?" ask Mr. Erwin.


"It just so happens that my mother sir"


"What's her mother hurt?"


"Object of old age, I hear the father's wife is being treated, hopefully soon cured sir"


"Thank you, can I see your mother?" ask Mr. Erwin.


"Of course sir"


Mr. Erwin seemed interested in the figure of a mature and polite son, especially Mr. Erwin easily close to anyone who he thought comfortable to talk to and make friends.
