If not through any video call, Cendana must immediately pick up the phone Jati. Somehow he became so stiff that he realized he would face the owner of the sweet smile, even though only through the phone screen.
After a long time and confused about what to do, Sandalwood jumped from the bed to the front of the dressing table. The first thing he did was to take out some tissue sheets to wipe away the tear marks on his cheeks. Jati must not know that she has finished crying.
The next second, between not wanting to look messy and having to immediately answer the call of Teak before it ends, makes Sandalwood waver. Before it stopped ringing, Cendana hurriedly grabbed her phone on the mattress and immediately tapped on the picture of a small green circle on the left side, ignoring her appearance which was now plastered on the Teak phone screen. He didn't want to ignore Jati's first call and make her misunderstand. Even worse if the guy won't call her again.
"Hi!"
Sandalwood only smiled widely as Jati greeted him across the street. Why does it feel more exciting than talking in person?
"Don't bother me. I slept, huh?" Jati assumed so after seeing the appearance of Sandalwood which was a little messy in a blue sky pajama.
"Eh, no, really," Sandalwood hastily refuted.
"Keep, what are you doing?"
Sandalwood even shook his head. What the fuck? Can, no, the answer is more quality, make the conversation more alive?
"I still remember what you said this afternoon. That's why I called you to say good-night."
Sandalwood is getting helpless now. He could barely hold the phone in his hand to keep looking at Jati's face across the street.
"Until you get it from both your parents, let me say it for a while."
Sandalwood held his breath so as not to act silly.
"Good sleep, Sandalwood. Good dreams, yes. Tomorrow you must wake up with a new smile, a new spirit, and new hope."
Sandalwood is completely melted now. His heart had never raced so fast. Is this as beautiful as love? Just as the good-bye speech behind the sweet smile continued to expand across the street, the reaction was terrible.
"Yes already. Sleep, gih. I'm closed, yeah."
Sandalwood nodded, though his heart refused to part with the owner of the thick chocolate bead across there.
The thin-lipped girl put down her phone originally after Jati's face disappeared. He again landed his head on the pillow with a wider smile. He wasn't sure he could still sleep after this. Teak's face was clearly imprinted on the ceiling of his room.

"Have you finished talking?" Kenanga interrupted the action of her own smile Jati in one corner of the room. From his tone, he didn't like it.
Jati nodded as she tried hard to dampen the smile that was easily imprinted out of will.
"Yuk, go on again. The others are waiting."
Teak pocketed his phone before getting up, then walked leisurely past Kenanga who was leaning lazily on the right side of the door.
Kenanga was convinced that the girl had just been contacted by Jati, one of the students who accompanied her to the bookstore at the time, which made her ignore the training schedule. After accidentally hearing Jati say good-bye to the girl, Kenanga felt the need to act. For many years he was on the side of Teak, but not once did the guy behave as sweet as before to him.
Kenanga took a deep breath to dispel the pain in her heart, which a moment later even transformed into a clear membrane that coated her pair of eyeballs.

"Good sleep, Sandalwood. Good dreams, yes. Tomorrow you must wake up with a new smile, a new spirit, and new hope."
The sweet phrase Teak continues to ring, making Sandalwood as if smiling throughout sleep last night. Therefore, he was very excited this morning. He woke up earlier than usual, immediately getting ready while enjoying the shadow of Teak that sprung from all directions.
After fully dressed, Cendana ran down the stairs to the ground floor. He went straight to the kitchen, finding Aunt who struggled with the typical busy morning.
"Good morning, Bi!"
Auntie who was washing vegetables, then gawked. He was astonished to see the reaction of his young master this morning, after sobbing in his arms last night.
Sandalwood's view turned to the empty table. Tumben Bibi hasn't prepared her a glass of full cream milk and chocolate jam bread. Ah, Auntie couldn't have forgotten. He is so excited.
"Bi, I'm leaving first, yeah." Sandalwood immediately ran a small run towards the garage. Upon arrival, he got on his bike and pointed his handlebars at the gate.
"Non, wait!" aunt shouted from the main door.
Sandalwood stopped his excited paddling, then turned to Aunt who had nothing to do with it.
Aunt shook her head while still stepping closer.
"Non's going to school?" Once again Bibi observed the appearance of her young master neatly in his gray white uniform.
Sandalwood nodded firmly while still smiling.
"It's not Sunday, is it?"
"Huh?" Sandalwood gawked some jokes, it seemed difficult to admit the ridiculousness he made so early. He hurriedly picked up the phone inside the bag and immediately glared at the day's clue in the upper left corner.
Falling in love can make people this sebego, huh?
Sandalwood returned his phone into the bag while grinning towards Auntie.
"Tumben, isn't this excited? What's in school?" seductive Aunt in between her hard-earned laughter.
Sandalwood laughed while turning back his bike.
"Non what breakfast do you want?" aunty asked after Sandana started pedaling her bike towards the garage.
"Later, Deh, Bi. I want to go back to sleep" the girl replied without looking.
All this because of Teak. After saying good-night last night, his face grew thick on all sides of Sandalwood's mind, making the girl hurriedly want to go to school for the sake of meeting in the streets that have always been their meeting point. Not nothing, the guy has managed to make Sandalwood forget the day.
Missing is this big, huh?

Teak tries to calm down with a warm cup of coffee on the terrace. Never before has this story been. Especially for the absurd things that he still has not managed to translate completely.
Sandalwoods
I don't know how Jati repeated that name in her heart. Too bad, Sunday comes at a time when feelings want to meet as hot as this. For the first time Jati does not like holidays.
I don't know in what way Teak through today, so that time does not feel more slowed down. He wants to arrive tomorrow soon, and re-create the fireworks of smiles on the streets that seem to be theirs.

The concentration of Sandalwood in completing PR Physics was suddenly interrupted by Ranum's calls that kept ringing his phone. Sandalwood deliberately did not immediately lift it, because he thought the child most just wanted to ask the answer to a question that was also making him dizzy.
Hearing the ringing of his phone that started again from the beginning for the third time, Cendana finally relented. He lifted.
"What's up, anyway?" todong Sandalwood without further ado. His voice is lazy.
"Temenin I to Semawis Market, yes!"
"Cock, suddenly? Why?" The volume of sandalwood sound increases.
"Let's eat, the enemy's time!" timpal Ranum across the street, with his special intonation.
"I ate, no."
"We eat lightly."
"But I haven't done PR."
"Easy. Tomorrow I'll have Jaka's tomorrow." Ranum blurted out his flagship solution, without the slightest unpleasant tone.
"Nr ...."
"Anyway, now you're ready. I'll pick you up in 30 minutes." Ranum switched off the phone without waiting for approval.
Want to not want to, Sandana tidied up her books, then went to get ready. When choosing clothes in the closet, his movement stopped for a moment because suddenly Teak again filled his mind. Ah, it looks like he really has to get out of this house, so that the early night is old, then perish in the warm morning sun. Sandalwood wants tomorrow to arrive faster, so that this strange taste is immediately destroyed by the smile of Teak.
