How often do you keep me quiet, how often do I babble in front of you. The more often you put on a flat look, the more often I smile at you. That's what I do, so that when I'm not around, you'll miss me.
......
A wool long-sleeved shirt with a subordinate pair of black jeans and black flatshoes wrapped around his white legs was Kinan's last resort. After twenty minutes of being drained just to choose the right suit to wear to campus today. Actually, Kinan wanted to wear a knee-length loose dress that he bought a few days ago. But, considering he had to meet one of his Economics lecturers-pak Broto, Kinan undoes his intentions.
She's indisposed. Although the dress is no sections, the same. Kinan was embarrassed and unwell. Moreover, the lecturer he wanted to meet was a male lecturer.
Kinan pegged his appearance on the large mirror in the corner of the room. Her long hair, she let it wavy with a wavy touch on the bottom. Sprinkling thin powder all over his face and do not forget to apply his lips with liptint.
It's flawless. Kinan grabbed his sling bag and went downstairs. Down the stairs one by one. His bead fluttered through the room, not finding his stepfather anywhere. He wants to say goodbye.
He moved his foot towards the main door. Half an hour away, the financial management course class will take place and Kinan will have to rush off now so as not to be late. However, as soon as his hand reached the doorknob, a heavy sound from behind him interrupted. Kinan hurriedly turned his back.
"Where are you going?" Mr. Brown came from the side door, carrying a cup of coffee in his hand and then sitting on the living room sofa. The middle-aged man looked at Kinan flatly.
"I'm going to college, sir," Chinan's great-grandson softly.
"With clothes like that?" there was a mocking tone tucked in his words. Brown examined Kinan from top to bottom. He's whining.
Kinan looked at her appearance. To him, there is no problem. Yes, even though his taste is not too high, he is most uncomfortable to wear. That's what matters.
"I like to dress simple and not too complicated."
Brown took a sip of his coffee and put his glass on the table, "Yes, you don't deserve to wear expensive things anyway" he said casually.
Kinan was silent, not replying anymore.
"Don't forget after college you went straight to the club. Help the other servants. Someone has rented my place to celebrate his birthday. Don't be late or I'll punish you" Brown warned.
Kinan nodded obediently, "I won't be late. Then excuse me, sir."
Finished saying goodbye, Kinan directly out of the house. Walk approximately to the front of the complex because no taxi passes in front of his house. Fortunately, the distance from the house to the front is not far. So, Kinan did not need to run.
The taxi was stopped as soon as he got to the front street. Kinan went inside and told the destination address to the driver. Kinan regulated his severed breath. His body rests on the back of the chair. His gaze explored each store's role from the glass of the car to his left. The car glass he opened half so that the wind caressed his sweaty forehead.
Mind floated. That feeling arises.
Hopefully tonight there won't be any problems happening to him.
......
Kinan's face continued to throw a smile at anyone he passed by. He walked down the corridor with quick steps. He's three minutes late. Hopefully, he is still allowed to enter by the lecturer.
The female lecturer nodded silently. Kinan walked to his seat right beside his Zerina-friend. Kinan took out a binder and a pen and put his bag in the drawer under the chair.
"Lo overslept, huh, Nan? Tumben's late," said Zerina quietly. Afraid of the teacher hearing his voice.
"There was a little bit of a debate, Na."
Zerina's eyebrows are perfectly linked. The signal of his ahead blazing, "Definitely a debate with your cruel stepfather. I really am, right?" guess it.
"Hush! Can't say that. That you katain, bokap me Na. As evil and cruel as he is to me, I still love him."
Zerina rolled her eyes lazily. This is the one Zerina doesn't like about Kinan, having a heart as soft as cotton. Already treated not good, still defending his stepfather. Zerina became emotional herself seeing Kinan too sincere to be a woman.
"Don't forget how he treated you like a cheap woman. I'm not saying bokap lo Nan, I just don't like the way bokap lo who seems like his son," Zerina said.
Kinan chuckled, realizing Zerina's face was flushed with emotion. He gently stroked Zerina's broad back, dimming her emotions, "Thanks ya Na. You want to bother worrying about me."
"Lo my best friend, I should've done it."
The tiny body of Zerina from the side. Kinan smiled at Zerina, "Lo is indeed my best friend."
Their strategic sitting position, not so close to the lecturer's desk and not so far back, simply makes Kinan breathe a sigh of relief. At least when they were conversing, their voices did not come forward. Except, when suddenly Zerina screamed because a lizard fell on her head. The whole room was disturbed and panicked.
"After college, I went straight to the club. I'm sorry Na can't make you lunch" Kinan said suddenly. Zerina who was busy taking notes on the material in her cylinder, coughed at it. The reason why Zerina came to that, the cause was the word Kinan.
Zerina turned to lightning, "Seriously? Going there in the afternoon?"
Kinan nodded, "There's a club hire for a birthday party. I was told to go there. Beres."
"Do you want me to go to Malem? I'm afraid you're worried about Nan," Zerina was worried.
Again, again, Kinan smiled soothingly, "It's okay, Na. I can take care of myself."
"Lo's sure?"
"A hundred percent sure. If there was anything, I would have told you. Take it easy," Kinan tried to make Zerina less worried about him. Kinan just didn't want Zerina to come in and get caught up in his troubles. Zerina has been too kind to him all this time. Kinan did not want to make Zerina in trouble.
A smile adorned Zerina's face. Kinan already he considered like his own sister, "Don't forget to take care of health. If you get sick, I'm nothing cool on campus."
"Ready Boss!"
