‘’Monk! Come prepare! We're looking for a temporary cost for you,’’ Ayu broke my daydream.
‘’A—aku is ready,’’
Instantly he scrunched his forehead,’’Your face is not replaced first?’’ asked Ayu looking at the clothes I was wearing. Slowly I shook my head. Yeah, because for two days this replacement shirt was the Ayu shirt I was wearing. I can't wear it anymore. I did not carry any clothes except for the clothes that were attached to my body when I was expelled and passed out in front of the gate.
‘’Shirt will exist. You just take it there!’’ point Ayu to his big cupboard. I blinked slowly.
‘’Ma’af, Yu. I've repeatedly troubled you,’’ I said softly with teary eyes.
‘’You should not. Like someone else. I told you,’’ picked Ayu up later, which made me smile.
‘’And another one, the clothes that you will wear during the cost is not there, right? There is no way you can go home in kayak gini condition,’’ Ayu sitting next to me.
In my heart I confirmed Ayu's words. Yeah, there's no way I'm going home just to pick up my clothes, which is getting hotter and not demanding that my parents will scold me back, even throw me out. Especially if you know the neighbor next door. Both my parents will be bullied by them and I don't want that to happen. My mom and dad are my parents, because I am in this world.
‘’Ayu is right too,’’ my inner self. I was silent for a moment.
‘’You are calm. I'll give you a shirt. I happen to have a lot of clothes. I do not like to have a lot of clothes, but because Mother often buys them. I finally had to accept it and never wear it at all. And since yesterday I have prepared,’’ Yes Allah. Your heart is so good, Yu. May Allah repay your kindness.
‘’Ta—tapi—’
‘’Huusshh! Its nothing. Do you consider me as a friend or not?’’ he put his face on his lips. And it looks a little upset. And it makes me smile.
‘’You said that. Yes, you are my best friend, Yu,’’, I said slowly. And now it's her turn to smile.
‘’Ya. Let's go!’’ take him while reaching for a large plastic. It looks like the contents inside the plastic are clothes for me. How good is this friend of mine. I have to try to change for the better.
Ayu and I hurried out of the room, and Aini stopped our steps.
‘’Eh, Monik want to go home? Why wasn't here the same Ayu?’’ asked the wide-hooded woman to come over to us.
‘’And what is it?’’ he added a glance at Ayu's hand.
‘’I—iya, Mother. Segan old Monik here. Afraid of troublesome Ayu and Mommy,’’ sahutku softly and I with Ayu look at each other.
‘’This is my shirt for friends, Bun. Which I never wear, let me be given to a friend,’’
‘’Lagian Monik want to work too, Mother,’’ added Ayu later.
‘’Oh, Working moniker?’’ asked the mother in wonder and as she probed my face, I lowered my head. Because he knows my father and my mother are people who can be said to be in the field of economics.
‘’I—iya working, Mother. Then I'll deliver the Monik first, Bun. Say the same to Dad. Assalamua’laikum,’’ Ayu takdzim with mother Aini. So do I. He looks confused.
‘’Iya. You guys be careful. Wa’alaikumussalam,’’ We rushed to step out.

It looks like Ayu is just focusing on driving from now on.
‘’Yu, is it okay if I'm at the boarding house? Is it not found out later the same people there, especially the host?’’ I said what was going through my mind earlier.
‘’Monik. You're only there for a few days. Hopefully Tente and Om, can receive you again at your home,’’ explained Ayu who turns occasionally, then refocus driving.
I just fell silent. Confused, either mom and dad will want to accept me back or not as his biological son. I also felt anxious, what if the people around the boarding house knew my status of being pregnant without a husband. Surely they will kick me out, especially if the hostess knows. I knead the temple and try to get rid of the bad prejudices that come suddenly.
A few minutes later. Before entering the perkost area. On the left, a red car stopped near the road. And judging by the plot of his car it seems I know. Or Andre?
‘’Monik, it's like Andre deh!’’ degh's! True allegations.
But why was he with that woman? Women who were dressed in less material, had their long hair neatly decomposed and wore knee-length skirts. Along with laughter eating meatballs. Basic man! The basket man! Tease all women. After everything he got from me, he changed instantly and he no longer contacted me. I'm like a piece of gum, which is sweet enough to just throw away. My emotions are really in the crown. I keep trying to be calm.
‘’No way, Yu. You saw the wrong time,’’ let me pretend not to know. Though I knew it was indeed Andre, very clearly from behind. I tried to put on my face as if I was okay.
‘’That must be him, Monik. I don't see wrong,’’ Monik started to pull over his car. My heart was beating even faster. What will Ayu do?
‘’You're down! Follow me!’’ he said shut off the car engine. And took my hand. Let's not say Ayu took me to Andre's place eating meatballs by the road with the woman.
‘’Yu! Where are we going anyway?’’ but Ayu did not answer my words, she just continued to step while holding my hand, not separated.
‘’Hei! Is this your girlfriend? You want to be with someone who has impregnated my best friend?’’ said Ayu softly said to the woman whose hair was unraveled, immediately Andre stood up and his face looked flushed.
‘’Ka—ku. Whatchu mean? I don't know you guys!’’ snapped it. As if it were a show. Basic man!
‘’Honey, please explain! What's true?’’ the woman seemed shocked by Ayu's statement.
‘’Ngak, no! They are nothing to me. I don't know them,’’ he said lying, the sweat on his face kept flowing.
‘’You must trust me, dear. They're impostors and I don't know who they are,’’ her burly hand holds the woman's leek.
‘’Cukupp! Basic man don't know himself!’’ my snapping that had lost my patience, the woman immediately let go of Andre's hand violently.
‘’And you Ma'am, you'll feel what I've been feeling all along. Maybe now you don't believe it, but look after getting everything from you. This man will dump you. Camden it!’’ I shouted while pointing at him with a vibrating tone of voice. The meatballs were just spectators and some shoppers gaped at us. But I don't give a shit. Let people know that Andre is an asshole.
‘’Yuk we go, Yu! Assholes like him should be humiliated,’’ I rushed towards the car park, Andre seemed to rub his face rough, everyone was stunned looking at us, and the woman rushed to leave Andri without a word. Feel it!
***
In the car, my tears were unceasingly flowing. Remembered by me Andre casually brought another woman after getting everything from me. Ayu looked at me with a sad look.
‘’I told you before, right, Monik? Do not accept male love and do not date first. You still remember my advice?’’ said Ayu quietly while still focusing on driving.
I just nodded slowly,’’Why did I forget all that, Yu? Why?’’ my yelling.
‘’You know? The good man will not invite dating let alone do the indecent thing,’’ I just fell silent, regretting all my actions. If I had listened to my best friend's advice, it probably wouldn't have been like this. I was kicked out of the house, my mom and dad hated me, and my life now carries a lot of burdens that I cannot bear alone. I looked at my eyes slowly.
A few minutes later, we arrived at the hostel. Ayu pulled the car over and turned off the engine. We hurried out of the car.
‘’Do you like this hostel? Mumpung is not big. Ntar you are lonely again,’’ asked pointed to a boarding house that seems to have no occupants.
‘’I like it so much, Yu. Nothing,’’ I nodded slowly.
Ayu took out her phone, she stared at the number on the wall of the boarding house, and copied it.
(‘’Assalamua’laikum. Bu,’’)
(‘’This is my friend want to post in kost Mother,’’)
(‘’Good, Mom. We wait,’’) Ayu also decided her phone.
‘’We are waiting, Monik. The mother wants to come here,’’ We will sit in her chair immediately. To release the fatigue. Shortly thereafter, came the middle-aged woman, her hair short, and dressed in a knee-length skirt.
‘’Who will be costing in my kost?’’ ask the woman to come up to us.
‘’This, Mom. Monik, my friend,’’ point Ayu.
She looked at me from top to bottom like she was selecting an employee just,’’You're pregnant?’’ this time his tone went up by one level.
The question surprised me, before I had an inkling of the question of the hostess.
I nodded instantly, ’’Su-my husband is making a living, Mom. So for a while I stayed in this area,’’
He looked at me,’’Alright. You didn't lie, did you? Because my kost does not accommodate pregnant women out of wedlock!’’ Degh's! My chest felt tight for a moment. So did Ayu, she looked down.
‘’I—iya, Mom. I'm not lying,’’
‘’OK!’’
‘’How much a month huh, Bu?’’ instantly Ayu switched the conversation.
‘’Amonth 350,000,’’ is short. He was incessantly watching me. Makes me feel scared.
Looks Ayu put out some red colored banknotes in her wallet,’’This, Mom. I paid for it a month first. If for example more than a month my friend spent here, I will add more,’’ explained Ayu thrusting several hundreds of money sheets. The mother hurried to take it without further ado.
‘’OK. Here's the key!’’ he's giving away the key.
‘’Thank you, Mom,’’. He just nodded and turned around without excuse.
‘’Short! Oh yes, I have not cleaned it yet so please clean it as clean as possible!’’ He turned back and pointed at me. I just nodded.
‘’One more time, every day my cost should you clean up! Don't let me see my boarding house is dirty and messy. You understand?’’ Allah! It's so scary for this hostess. Not as good as living in your own home. I breathe slowly.
‘’Pa—share, Mom,’’ sahutku stamped. While Ayu shook his head.
While the woman stepped back to go home which I thought was not far from here. Ayu and I looked at each other.
‘’Begini it feels like I have a hostess anyway, Yu?’’ ask me softly, while taking a breath.
‘’Iya. Hence it is better to stay at home by yourself,’’ Ayu replied. I confirmed Ayu's words in my heart.
‘’Ya. I picked up your shirt first in the car huh,’’ He stepped into the parking lot of his car. And a large plastic bag containing clothes.
‘’Not you want to go home?’’ many wonder.
‘’I want to help you clean up the kost first.’’ He rushed after me.
