JODOHKU CLASSMATE

AWAN

Rachel returned to Jakarta after she finished her work in Bali. A few days ago Awan called and gave word if he was in an accident. Rachel was really panicking at the news. But on the other hand, he has to be professional to finish his job.

After getting off the plane, he rushed to meet the Clouds in his home.

"Darling, how are you? where's that sick? his hand still hurts?" the woman said as she met her boyfriend Cloud.

"I don't papa, come on in. You must be tired." The clouds pulled Rachel into her house.

"Sorry, baby can just go home. Do you know how busy I am?" Rachel sat in the middle room chair while holding the hands of the Clouds.

"Gapa dear, anyways do not help my friend also yesterday. You don't have to worry."

"Whose friend?" Rachel looked suspicious of the Clouds. Seeing that, the real Cloud wanted to honestly undo his intention to tell Dana and Vishnu who helped him. For her, the story was nothing more than a bomb that would make Rachel's anger explode if she knew.

"Silver level. Vishnu. He happens to live in Jakarta." The clouds were brushing her hair. Rachel just nodded in understanding.

The clouds clasped Rachel's hand. He misses the woman enough considering that they have not met for 3 days.

"This what?" The clouds look shocked when he finds the image on Rachel's left hand. He raises Rachel's left shirt sleeve. I saw some tattoos there. It was the new tattoo Rachel made in Bali.

"Good right?" Rachel showed me the tattoo she made on the Cloud.

"Why are you tantoan? you know what my mom is like Chel! What would he say to you if you had a tattoo like this?"

"It won't be seen either. Mom's time you want to roll up my shirt like this. Just be calm, safe!"

"Chel,"

"Wan, do you love me? I've been wanting this tattoo for a long time. I can't waste my chance to get a tattoo. I'm going to Bali." Not even Cloud spoke, Rachel had already cut off her conversation.

"You see, I'm engraving your name here." Rachel showed a tattoo bearing the name Cloud on her left shoulder.

"I'm just afraid my mama's not liking you anymore, baby." The clouds caressed Rachel's hair gently.

"Your mom is a little bit of a colot. Mama I'm not protesting the same way I do."

The clouds just kept quiet hearing her boyfriend. Although his heart was a little disappointed that Rachel did not respect him, she did not want to argue with him.

The thing Rachel did was very different from Dana's treatment of mom. Dana is not reluctant to obey your mother's will even though it is a little unreasonable and has nothing to do with Dana's own interests.

Rachel accompanied the breakfast cloud. He bought a cloud of chicken porridge in front of the alley. He was busy watching the show on TV while waiting for the clouds to finish eating.

"I'm here for a while." Rachel looked at her boyfriend's face.

"Can't dong Chel, what's the neighbor saying here if you know there's a woman living here with me."

"Yes you just tell me, I'm your wife. Beret."

"This neighborhood is still a lot of people area. Mom knows them well. Mama won't stay silent watching you stay here."

"Well, if you don't want to. I'm going home now!" Rachel took all her belongings and left the Cloud house. The clouds only looked at the woman and heaved a heavy sigh. I don't know why Rachel's attitude is getting changed after returning from Bali. It looks more childish.

Outside the house, Dana comes to see the Clouds. He actually promised Vishnu not to deal with the man again. But, Aunt Hesti just kept calling her to ask her about the state of the Clouds. That afternoon, when lunchtime came, he deliberately brought Clouds lunch, some medicine, and items requested by Aunt Hesti to be given to Awan. Aunt Hesti who works in the hospital must have understood what her son needs.

Heck, Tok, Tok!

Dana knocked on the door of the Awan house. From inside came the answer from the man.

"Where, why?"

"Your mama told me to come and give this." Dana showed me some plastic bags she was carrying.

"Abis there are guests?" The woman saw that there were 2 cups of tea on the table. He only guessed if someone else had come before him.

"Rachel." Dana just nodded hearing the words Cloud.

"Mom tell you to bring anything?"

"It's an antibiotic, a pain medication, either an ointment for your wound. Keep this for flu drugs."

Dana held the Cloud's forehead suddenly. The clouds were a little shocked because of the woman in front of him.

"It's not hot, so this medicine should not be taken. It's got a bandage for your hand. Was it changed today?" ask Dana to the Cloud. The clouds just shook their heads to hear Dana's words.

"Then I'll help you change. This is lunch for you. Keep this one, Aunt Hesti tell me to mengetok bread for you. He said you like this bread. Then what else? It seems to have been." The clouds laughed when they heard Dana.

"Why?"

"You're rapping again?"

"Oh, I ate first. I'm ready to take the plate." Dana's looking for dishes in the kitchen. But he didn't find it.

"Where's the plate cloud?" Dana screams from the kitchen. The clouds approached the upperclassman and showed him the location of the plate in the bottom drawer of the cooking area.

Dana who was looking near the Clouds was quite shocked because of their very close body. Dana could even see the Cloud's jaw clearly. He saw that there was a wound there that was starting to dry up.

"The plate is here." Dana just looked at the Clouds regardless of it. Dana's hand reflexes holding the wound.

Reflexes, the clouds looked at the woman.

"This why?"

Dana who realized if she crossed the line then retreated to get away from the clouds.

Dugm! Dana's head hit the table behind her.

"Aw!" The panicked cloud then held Dana's head.

"illness?" Dana was still grimacing in pain holding her head. The cloud who saw Dana's expression chuckled as if she thought she was cute.

"Some of you do Dan? There's-there's just."

The clouds still laughed looking at Dana.

"Don't laugh Wan, it's really nice!"

The two of them headed to the room to prepare lunch. After the meal, Dana helps the Clouds to replace the bandages.

"Done," said Dana when she finished putting the bandage in Cloud's hand.

"Thank you," Dana smiled at the words of the Clouds.

"Some time, something's missing." Dana opened the ointment she bought. He smeared it on the wound in the Cloud that he had just seen.

"This, if not treated, will work. It would be a pity if the marks were on the face."

The clouds held their breath because the distance between her and Dana was too close. He could even smell the perfume on the woman's clothes.
