JODOHKU CLASSMATE

LOVE TRAIN

"Are you deliberately going home together or what?" tanya broke the silence. Aunty sat in the back while Dana sat next to the driving Clouds.

"Meet at the tan station, it looks like my monthly roundtrip and Cloud's almost similar." Dana's still typing messages for Wisnu's sister. He deliberately told the man so that he felt calm.

The three of them then arrived at Aunt Ari's house. Aunt provides towels for the shower clouds. Dana then went upstairs to her room. He had indeed studied in Jogja, therefore, he had his own room that aunt prepared if Dana returned to Jogja.

"Woman use the basement, huh? who knows if you're going to sleep." Said the aunt to the man.

"Yes, thank you aunt." Aunt left the clouds rising upwards. The clouds then bathe and change clothes to make them fresher.

Tok! Dana knocked on the door of the room that the clouds occupied. The man then opened the door.

"You want to eat? if you want, I want to make instant noodles." The clock is at 3am. All of the children are still asleep except Nanda. Aunt's eldest son.

Clouds that can not sleep even agree to Dana's invitation. They went to the kitchen and sat down at the dining table in the middle of the room.

"There's 1 more noodle." Dana said to her sister.

"It's rich in warteg, '" Nanda said to her brother.

"And you said yourself to make me noodles if you go home with the suit you want?" Dana sat next to Awan while looking at her sister who was still busy processing instant noodles.

Soon after, the noodles made by Nanda became. Dana smiled seeing this. Since childhood, she has been very familiar with her siblings. The Dana family is arguably a very supportive family to each other.

"It's delicious." Cloud said when he saw the 3 bowls of instant noodles in front of him.

"Not yet acquaintance, brother? I'm Nanda, my sister's brother. Now again 1st semester lecture at U*M." The clouds shake Nanda's hand.

"Greetings to Nda. I'm the Cloud." He said to Nanda.

"Sister who is fooled the same sister Dana yes?" Dana who was eating noodles until choked on hearing Nanda's words. The shocked cloud heard Dana reflexively take a drink and give it to the woman.

"God!" Dana hit her sister slowly using the spoon she was holding.

"It hurts!" Nanda complained of pain because of her brother.

Nanda had finished his meal first. He decided to sleep because he was tired of his college work.

"Are you really the same family?" Dana's still chewing on the noodles in her mouth. The finished cloud was waiting for Dana who was still busy eating.

"Yes that. I am the first child, the first grandchild. So, my aunt, like myself, is like my parents. Even before a aunt's daughter was born, I was like her son." Dana said about her family.

"Enak ya? my mom is an only child. So yes my brother is just a little." Dana looked at the cloud who was telling her a story.

"No papa, just come on." Dana smiled at the clouds. "Originally, I'm still curious about the paper you gave the old man." Dana continued her words.

"Well, what did you give her the paper for?"

"Have you ever heard that old man's prayer work? I only asked for prayers and blessings from the grandfather "The Cloud's words further made the woman frown. He smiled and shook his head in a sign of not understanding.

"Well, you don't need to know." Dana just nodded in understanding. He continued to scoop the noodles in his bowl.

Flashbacks!

"I'm going to the bathroom first." The clouds just nodded hearing Dana's words. He was still focused on reading the book in his hands. Sometimes the man turned the pages of his book.

The clouds saw the couple sleeping soundly. The old woman seemed comfortable hugging her husband and leaning her head on the shoulders of the man beside her. At first glance, he remembered the shadow of Rachel he still loved. He missed that girl.

The cloud opened the last page of the book he was reading. He picked up the pen in his bag. The cloud wrote something on the paper. He knew that he could not wake the couple to say goodbye.

For grandparents and grandparents

I'm sending this letter to you. My name is Cloud Cake, the woman next to me is Dana. Actually, I have sinned for lying to you. I want to tell you about the woman next to me. We both haven't married cake. She was the woman I was betrothed to 2 years ago. But we both rejected it because we had someone else in our hearts.

After our first meeting a few months ago, there were so many coincidences that Dana and I felt. We often accidentally meet, cross paths and fight. For some reason, seeing my grandparents reminds me of him. I still don't know if this is God's path for us or just a coincidence. But for sure, my heart has not changed. I cannot accept him because there is someone else in my heart.

I love seeing my grandparents who seem to love each other. I hope it will continue in His Heaven. May I also find love like you two. I'm sorry that Dana and I didn't say goodbye to you guys. May we be found again if God wills. Aami...

The clouds tore the paper and folded it. He closed the book when he saw Dana back in her seat. He kept the letter on the middle page of his book.

"Have you?" ask that woman. Dana just nodded hearing the Cloud question.

"A little while back. Don't fall asleep." The Cloud to Dana. Again the woman just nodded in understanding.

Flashback off!

"I sleep, I sleep first, Wan? my mama's gonna pick me up at 6, so you can rest first, too." Dana cleaned up both of their old bowls.

"Let me wash." The Cloud to Dana. The woman simply smiled and passed from before the clouds. The man smilingly looked at Dana who was walking up the stairs to the 2nd floor where her room was.

The clouds wash the dishes and prepare for sleep. He was very tired considering that on the train he only fell asleep for a while.

The clouds laid his body on the bed. He tried to straighten his muscles that had been very sore. It didn't take long for the man's eyes to be closed. The clouds are in his dreams.
