Last October

Same hours and minutes #1

Okta awoke from her sleep when she heard the sky rumble loudly. A flash of lightning light appeared from the window behind the curtains fluttering in the swinging wind. The cell phone next to his pillow. The phone turned out to be inactive. Immediately turned it on to check what time it was. At 03.03.

Okta breathed a little heavily then fell silent for a moment. The clock on his phone screen. His memory immediately floated the story of Rayzal one day to him. It was a semester break in Ramadan. Two weeks never exchanged news with Rayzal, suddenly Rayzal called him after Okta from tarawih prayer. Okta knew very well, when Rayzal vacation to his grandmother's house in the village, they would be difficult to send news. Because the telephone network in Rayzal's grandmother's hometown is quite difficult. Therefore, Okta was very surprised to receive a phone call at that time.

"Woooaayahhh... Are there already many transmitter towers installed?" Okta Exclamation

"I hunted the network in the village next door on the hill. There's a transmitter tower here," Rayzal started chattering. Then he continued, "You know?__"

"Do not know!" Cut Octa

"Yaaaa'... Don't cut my sentence!" Upset Rayzal, "This Tower distance from my grandmother's house has to take a 2-hour motorbike ride. Must use Cross motor. The road is really narrow, full of mountain rocks, uphill and then dived, Next to the side is a very steep gorge. I'm betting my life just to hear your voice" Rayzal continued so hyperbole. Although it is true that in Kampung yard that only visited once a year has a very difficult terrain. But his speech successfully made Okta laugh and blush.

"Hmmm, of course, I strongly believe in your exaggerated story. At least I have to believe that getting tired of you during the trip pays off, right??? Haha."

"At least thank you properly when we meet later."

"Amaaannn Ijal's brother..."

"Yaaa of course you should call me big brother while being so grateful. By the way, you're exactly like my grandmother. There are only two people on this earth who call me Ijal. My grandmother and you. Everyone calls me Ray. Your mind must be a grandmother's shoes. Hihihii."

"Haha. How did your grandmother treat you, brother?"

"Well, that's our other equation."

Suddenly silence. Rayzal fell silent to Okta's words which were unusual for him. While Okta was silent because she was surprised at him, how could she say such a thing to Rayzal. He was afraid Rayzal's silence just now was a form of misunderstanding.

"Ah... That, why did Rayzal's brother suddenly call me?" Okta tried to break the silence between them. He said it slowly and carefully.

"Hmmm....."Rayzal only muttered for a moment like he was thinking how to properly organize his sentence. He really did not want any misunderstanding between them. Then he continued, "I was this afternoon when I opened the photo in my cell phone gallery, accidentally glanced at the clock. At 15:15. Just when I was looking at our picture. Said someone I know if we accidentally saw a time that showed the same hours and minutes, it means someone is missing us a lot. I immediately remembered you. Maybe you miss me. I don't know... I just thought of you straight away. Maybe I'm the one who misses you so much."

Silent again. For a while they just listen to the sound around and the roar of their breath which of course becomes a little irregular. There was a strange beat that made their heart beat twice as fast as usual.
