JODOHKU CLASSMATE

TEARS OF DISAPPOINTMENT

Dana's still crying in the taxi. He completely swallowed the bitter reality because brother Vishnu broke with him. The woman was holding her chest which felt very tight. The sleeves of the dress she was wearing were already wet from her tears. The taxi driver gave her a tissue to wipe away the tears. He wants to spill all his frustration and disappointment on someone. It was the phone in the small bag. No friends Dana can go to there. He could not contact Arin because his college friend was on leave to return to his hometown.

Only 1 name came to Dana's mind.

"Awan," Dana dialed the man's phone number. He was really scared not to know where to go. Behind the phone, Awan answered a call from a woman he knew.

"Hello Dan?" greeting Short clouds.

"Hello Wan, you're dimama?" Dana kept wiping the tears that had continued down until asked.

"Why? you cry?" ask the Clouds to Dana. He panicked when he heard the cry of his upperclassman.

"I don't know where to go."

"Where areyou? I'll pick it up now!" The clouds are ready to wear the jacket hanging in the closet. He was really panicking thinking of Dana who was crying alone.

"I'm in the taxi, can I go to your house?"

"You can come to my house." Dana gave Awan's home address to the taxi driver. Quickly, Dana had reached the front of the house. The clouds were waiting for the woman to arrive outside the house. He was worried about Dana.

Dana got off the taxi after paying. He stared weakly at the clouds. Her tears still flowed from the corner of her eye. Without a cue, Cloud hugged the woman in front of him. He let Dana cry in his arms. His mind was still wondering why the woman was crying. Dana is not the type of person who will be easy to lean on others. He knows how hard that woman is.

The clouds pushed the woman inside. She helps Dana sit in the middle room chair. The clouds deftly took a drink and gave it to Dana. The woman began to catch her breath and tried to calm down.

"Sorry to trouble you." The clouds simply rubbed Dana's back and calmed the woman down.

"Son Vishnu broke with me Wan." Dana said she was still crying.

"Vishnu threw me away once again."The clouds frowned hearing Dana's words. He wondered why Vishnu ended his relationship with Dana. He knew Vishnu loved the woman very much. The clouds remember Vishnu's anger when he came to warn him of Rachel.

The clouds lead Dana to the guest room. He could not bear if he had to send the woman back to his boarding house. Dana just complied without saying anything. The cloud understands how much it hurts to lose a loved one. Her breakup with Rachel really tormented her at the time. He understood that Dana must have felt the same way as she had ever experienced.

The clouds covered Dana's body. The man sat by the bed. The clouds are still looking at Dana. Occasionally he fix the child's hair that covers his face. It didn't take long for the girl's eyes to close. The clouds stood up from the bed. He was about to get out of Dana's bedroom. Dana's hand grabbed the Clouds before the man walked away from her.

"Wan, can you stay here until I'm really asleep?" hearing Dana's words, she sat back in the corner of the bed. He leaned against the wall while holding Dana's hand. Every now and then, the Clouds see Dana still shedding tears. Sometimes Clouds hand rubbed those tears.

The clouds leave Dana after making sure the woman is completely asleep. The clouds closed the bedroom door as slowly as possible so as not to wake Dana up. He made coffee and sat on the porch. The atmosphere at the time was really sad. Whether it was because of Dana's cry or indeed that night the moon hid itself. Clouds sipping coffee on the table. His mind was still wondering about the reason Vishnu had cut ties with Dana.

After finishing the coffee he made, Clouds went into the house and decided to sleep.

The next day, Clouds awoke when he heard a noise from his kitchen. That time the clock showed at 5 a.m. He took ablution water and performed dawn prayers. After completing his duties, he then walked out of the room. Look at Dana cooking something.

"Morning!" dana said kindly. The clouds were a little surprised because the woman no longer looked sad. He approached Dana and looked at her face.

"O yes, I borrowed a shirt from the closet. I also picked up the toothbrush in the drawer. Sit down, I'll cook for breakfast." Dana flips the egg she's cooking. The clouds just follow Dana's words.

Shortly after, Dana served food for breakfast. There are 2 fried eggs, 4 slices of toast, scrambled eggs next to it and there are some slices of cucumber, lettuce and tomatoes.

"This is all that's in the fridge, so I'm just doing this. Looks like you like eating bread for breakfast."

"I don't like to eat heavy. So I'm just gonna eat bread for breakfast." Dana nodded her understanding sign.

"You work?" Dana bit the toast.

"Yes," The cloud put a little mayo on his bread.

"Hemmm, yasuda. I'm taking a day off."

"What are you planning today?" The cloud was curious and asked Dana.

"You say, I'm going to Bandung for me."

"Well?"

"To my brother's place. I have a house in Bandung." The clouds just understood.

After eating and preparing food, Dana went into the guest room. Dana tidied up her stuff and permission to return to her boarding house.

"I'll take it with me" The cloud sitting in the living room stood up and took the keys to the car to drive Dana home.

"Don't, you're gonna be late if you can't get me."

"I'm taking a day off today." Dana frowned at the man's words. The clouds walked towards the front door ahead of him. The female's eyes followed towards the walking cloud. The clouds turned around when they reached the door.

"Come?" Dana then walked out of the house.

After locking the door, Awan opened the car door for Dana. While they were in the car, Dana realized that the Clouds were carrying a black backpack.

"What's the backpack for?" The clouds put the backpack in the middle seat of the car.

"Am I going to Bandung?" The clouds looked at Dana. The woman looked a little surprised looking at the clouds.

"Well?"

Dana frowned hearing Cloud's words.
