JODOHKU CLASSMATE

DEBATES

After a discussion, Awan and Dana agree to follow their parents back to their hometown. That same day, Dana called the office to apply for leave until Sunday. Mama also called all the brothers to gather at her house on Saturday. Thursday was truly a very busy and unexpected day for all of them. Mama and Aunt Hesti seemed very happy because finally their wishes would be fulfilled. Become a besan at the same time establish a rope of brotherhood between their two families.

The clouds drove Dana home to the boarding house to pick up clothes. In the car they both looked awkward.

"Any huh?" Dana finally opened her mouth after a few menut they shut each other.

"Weird why?" The clouds don't understand Dana's words.

"Yes very strange. You know, at night you came to my hostel."

"Which one?" The clouds cut Dana's words. He was confused as to what the woman meant.

"You said you wanted to try starting with me." Dana tried to remind me of the incident that night. The night the Clouds Come to the hostel.

"Oh, yeah, why?"

"I just realized, before I went down to see you, I asked God for something."

"meaning?" The clouds still did not understand the meaning of the words of the woman sitting beside him.

"Why are the nights coming? not at night, it's morning." Dana asked the clouds.

"I couldn't sleep at the time. Don't know, I think I should meet you." The clouds answered Dana's words without looking at the woman beside her. His gaze was still straight and focused on his steering wheel.

Dana just silently tried to digest the Cloud's speech. He finally understood if God heard his prayer. He answered very clearly to the question and anxiety he felt at that time. I don't know why he didn't realize it at the time.

"God..." That was the only word that came out of the woman's mouth.

"Why?" The cloud that heard Dana's words now glanced at her before she refocused herself forward.

"No papa," Dana now smiled remembering her prayer that night.

The clouds that felt strange about the behavior of the woman in front of him now began to be curious. Along the way to Dana's boarding house, he always looked at the woman.

"Why the hell?" The smiling cloud saw Dana smiling at him. The woman simply shook her head to answer the Cloud's question. Sometimes he unintentionally meets the clouds. Sometimes Dana also chose to look out the window to cover her smile that she could not control.

Before long, they reached the Dana's boarding house. The woman then went inside and prepared to pack some clothes that she would carry. The clouds are waiting for Dana outside. He chose to wait for Dana in the car.

That afternoon, Awan saw a car stop in front of his car. The car was no stranger to him. He saw a man in uniform coming out of the black car. A cloud that recognized him then came down from the car to approach him.

"Why are you here?" The clouds blocked Vishnu who was about to walk towards the gate of Dana's boarding house.

"I'd like to see Dana. It has nothing to do with you."

"You're sure he loves you? Dana waited for me over 5 years. There's no way she's going to date you all of a sudden." Vishnu smiled cynically at the Clouds.

"You've thanked me for letting go, haven't you? but you wasted that chance. So you have no right to take it from me anymore." The clouds looked at Vishnu sharply.

"I came here with nothing to do with you. You better step aside as long as I'm being nice." Vishnu began to emotionally respond to the clouds that were still facing him.

"Obviously my business, the woman you're referring to is my future wife." Cloud's words made Vishnu look shocked.

Shortly after, Dana who had finished cleaning up her needs was now out of her boarding house. He heard a noise from outside his boarding fence. When he opened the gate, how surprised he was when he saw the clouds were arguing with Vishnu.

"Wan," Dana then reflexively throws the suitcase she was carrying and breaks up the fight.

"Would you like to come here?" Dana held the hand of Awan who had pointed rudely at the brother of Vishnu. He did not want the Awan to get into a fight with Vishnu. Dana's gaze looked a little angry staring at Brother Vishnu.

"Are you really marrying her?"

"If so, why?"

"And?" Vishnu seemed frustrated to hear the woman's answer.

"How many times have I told you we're over, brother! You better not see me again." Dana put on her word. He tried to assert his relationship with Vishnu.

"I'm willing to leave that woman for you. I promise Dan!" Dana smiled wryly at Vishnu's words.

"Promise? I don't know if you're someone who likes to make promises like that, brother! I'm sorry, I can't trust your promise anymore." Dana looks teary looking at Vishnu. He really could not believe if Vishnu dared to say such a thing again after he left it.

Dana then took the suitcase. The clouds help Dana to put the suitcase in the trunk. Dana then got into the car followed by Awan. The woman's breathing seemed disordered because of her anger. The clouds quickly drove his car away leaving Dana's boarding house.

Dana couldn't help but cry her disappointment at Vishnu. She stared out the window without seeing the clouds. The man then stroked Dana's head gently. The cloud then held Dana's hand.

"Sorry" Dana wiped her tears. He realized that he should not cry because of Vishnu again. The cloud did not respond to Dana's remarks. He just held tightly to the woman's hand trying to give her strength. The clouds are not angry at Dana. What is in his head now is his anxiety because of Vishnu's words about Dana. The clouds actually did not want to doubt the woman next to him. He just doesn't like to hear Vishnu's words.

Clouds marginalized his car stopped at one of the minimarkets. He's gonna buy Dana a drink.

"I'll buy you a drink first." The clouds came out of his car. The woman simply replied to Awan with a nod. He still plays his fingers. Occasionally she wiped away her tears that accidentally flowed past her cheeks.

Before long, Awan returned to bring Dana drinking water. Dana then drinks the drink that Awan gave her. The clouds just silently stared at Dana. There was no conversation between the two. The clouds patiently waited until Dana's feelings began to improve.

After a while, Dana started staring at the Clouds. "Are you okay?" The cloud held Dana's hand. The man looked at Dana. Dana nodded then smiled at the Clouds.

"Can you hug me?" The clouds hugged the woman. A hug that made Dana feel calm. It felt like the female's turmoil disappeared instantly along with the embrace of the Clouds that brought warmth to her heart.
