LIKE I CAN'T SEE

CHAPTER 35 GETS HIS NUMBER

The day we were waiting for finally arrived. The day I was looking forward to it. Student acceptance announcement as well as news about my scholarship.

Right now Dodi and I are in front of a tall, sturdy building. A medical college. Yeah, Dodi and I enrolled in a faculty with that major.

During this pandemic, this faculty has an educational scholarship program for the best sons–daughter of Indonesia both in the form of full scholarships and scholarships in the form of Institutional Development Funds.

"Welcome to be a student here, son" said a middle-aged man after informing him that I had passed the scholarship selection test.

It's good not to play I heard it. Dodi embraced me regardless of the gazes of the people who were in the room.

Gratitude is unrelenting. There's always a way, for me to get through my hard times. And God knows what I want.

"Jo, you have to treat me to celebrate your success" said Dodi, who suddenly asked nodong for a tract.

"Yes, without you asking me, I would have convinced you too. How could I have forgotten this good friend of mine", I said. Because Dodilah is the one who helped me through the hard times to take care of this scholarship. You could say he was the second person to notice me besides my mother.

"Lets go's. Wait especially?", he said excitedly walking first to the parking lot to take his motorbike. We went on a Dodi motorcycle.

We turned left right looking for the meatballs that Dodi said were the most crowded. Until we arrived at a crossroads we ended up doing this search. As Dodi wills. And I can only obey.

"Sir, meatballs two and ice mix two" I ordered.

We chose to sit on the corner. Facing the highway.

"Lhoh, Jo it's not Amel?", asked Dodi who saw his idol enter the meatball shop as well.

Since when does the beautiful girl want to stop at a meatball shop? Because as far as I know Amel likes to be picky. But I don't know. Why I became suudzon like this. This shop is not mine. Everyone is free to enter.

I have been monologuing in my heart. Until an arm from Dodi resuscitated me. "Oh Brother, also here. Amel is the same Amel can join?", he said by bringing one girl friend had landed his ass on the bench right in front of us.

"It's okay" said Dodi immediately agreed. Makes me look at him.

Nearly fifteen minutes waiting for orders. We spent throwing questions at each other. But all the more dominant questions than Amel. And always answered by Dodi quickly.

But after hearing Dodi's answer, Amel was seen typing a message to someone. Without knowing who we are with.

After the order comes. We eat in silence. Until a question I didn't expect sounded like that.

"O yes Mel. How's your friend Jessy? Looks like someone missed it".

The question from Dodi that was unshackled almost made me choke. I quickly took my drink. Mixed with shame.

My friend always supported me to chase Jessy back. With reason, the matter of scholarship has nothing to do with papa Jessy anymore. So there is no right for him to forbid me to be close to his son even though we are still different.

Like understand who meant miss Jessy. Amel looked smiling. Although he had once advised Jessy not to like people of different levels with him, but this time it was different.

Amel who used to be so chatty, looks there is a soft side. Because during High School, he knew both Jovan and Dodi. Making it able to accept the existence of both of them regardless of social status anymore.

"Well, brother. What do you want the number?", asked Amel suddenly.

"Okay, I'm save. Thank you Mel" said Dodi with a smile. I don't know why my expression is mediocre. Even though in it my heart is happy not to play.

"Jo, you're rich in them, there's no fun with Jessy's number. We are lucky to meet Amel without having to meet him" said Dodi on the sidelines driving his motorbike.

"I'm confused and embarrassed. You just don't want it without a cue".

"Yes if delayed again Amelnya hunt also said Jo", objected Dodi.

"If you don't want to say, immediately express your feelings to him. That way Amel's not going anywhere".

"Ah rich you dare Jo. You're the same way Jessy is. From the past until now there has been no development" said Dodi as well as reverse my speech with a little spicy innuendo. Makes me end this discussion. If I argue about the lesson, I might be the winner. But when it comes to girls, Dodi has no match.

"Don't go in first, Jo? O yes sorry for saying yes. I just want you to make more effort if you like him" an apology from Dodi after we got to her yard.

I who had switched to riding my motorcycle that I had left at Dodi's house also replied. "Liet down. You say something more spicy than this, I won't be angry either. Thanks for Do!".

I threw my body down as soon as I got home. Do not forget to stop by the shop first. Tell the fun news about the scholarship to mom.

I looked at my phone. I read a message from Dodi that sent Jessy's number to me.

I'm calling him now, aren't I? Manya make sure.

I was going to type an email to him. But I finally stopped.

Jo, Jo why are you? Yesterday I really wanted to know the news. Now there is a path to ask even you undo it. I put my phone back which finally chose to sleep.

I don't know how long I slept. Suddenly a hand woke up by tearing both of my shoulders. It made me open my eyes immediately.

"Let's wake up. I want maghrib son" said my mother.

"Huh? Already want maghrib Mak?", I ask not to believe.

"Yes, you sleep from what time to be surprised" asked my mother.

I'm still sitting around collecting lives not answering mom's questions. "You must be tired, to sleep for that long. Have a shower!", said the mother again while giving a towel for me.

"Mommy, Jovan wants to find work" I said between meals after the Maghrib prayer.

"What work? Just focus on your college. Mom doesn't want your college to be interrupted by Jo".

"Jovan promise Mak! Won't interfere with Jovan's lecture" I said convincingly.

My mother finally agreed to my request. And until tonight. I was busy writing a job application. So that tomorrow morning I can start to give to some workplace that I think can work part time.
