LOLLIPOP 65

Two years later...

"April!" call a voice that surprises me.

I rush to lift my face, shift the focus of the Laptop contains theories of economic science. The gray sky hanging over my head was bright as my eyes stared at this figure.

Uh! My savior's arrived!

"Hey!" agreed with a smile and waved at Pratama. My best friend also happens to be from Indonesia.

Because we feel the same fate in the land of people, we do not take long to get along. Especially since our apartment is close together. It is quite easy if you have to do a task together or just ask for help.

Tama immediately sat next to me, the long chair of the campus garden. I knew he was pinning my head arbitrarily.

"Let's!" screams pain. I sniffed at him. "What the hell? Coming directly to me" my protest was upset

"You are yes! The cold weather is still outside. You want to freeze to death?" he got angry while removing the dark blue scarf from his neck and then wrapped it around my neck.

"Ouch! It's also me wearing shal, kali!" reject me.

But still he wrapped his old blue scarf around my neck while putting on a slanted smile.

"Let's be thicker!" said. "And let your ugly face not look too good" he added with a laugh and pointed at my face that was almost drowned in this extra scarf.

"Si alan you!" my sergeant while raising a slow fist at his arm.

Although sometimes Tama sucks like today. But I could never hate him. He always said I was ugly and stupid, but I'm glad he's always there for me. Especially when my toughest time.

The people who passed by around us only turned a glance while frowning because they did not understand what we were saying. Tama and I always speak Indonesian when we speak together. It felt more comfortable because no one knew what we were talking about.

"Loh, this is material for paper assignments later. You learn first. We'll discuss it at your place tomorrow. Okay?" said Tama. Then he moved the three thick books under him to my hand and just walked away.

"Woi is about dong!" my protest.

"It's still a good thing I've helped you find the ingredients" he exclaimed as he continued walking without looking.

"Curtain!" my sigh. But I keep smiling.

Indeed befriending Tama a lot of its plausibility value. Although not included in the ranks of popular college guys, I admit Tama is quite handsome. White people are typical of Asians. His eyes were narrow because he had Japanese ancestry. One of the most important things to me, he's very smart. I can even categorize geniuses. That's why I'm very helped if there are college tasks that can make me have a headache. At least I can produce an A if it happens to be a bunch with the genius Tama.

Grey sky. Winter has arrived. I don't know why I like this season so much. Especially when the snow is coming down.

I got up from the long chair of the college park and grabbed my thick jacket and hid part of my face behind a scarf wrapped around my neck.

I smiled for a moment as I smelled the scent of Tama's perfume time from her blue scarf.

"Hello pah.." say April

"How are you doing there?" ask Papa April

"We are good Pah. How are Mom and Dad?" ask April back.

"We are good too, son. When home? It's been two years Pril."

April chuckles.

"April's only been in Pah's college this year."

"I'm sorry, Papa. ."

"Well, April's been nothing. We're happy here ."

April sounded breathless. Without seeing her, her father knew there was a look of sadness on her son's face.

"Don't remember something that just makes us all feel sad Pah" he said.

"Papa is not sad, Papah is sorry. If it were honest with you."

"Already, all have returned to his place and according to the portion. Maybe it's April's destiny." said April

Hearing that which parent's heart is not broken into pieces.

Flashback on~~

The day before the April departure to London.

Yuck... Yuck....

"April.."

"Ma.mama?"

"Don't say......."

"I'm sorry April mah.."

Mama April hugged her daughter tightly.

"Why dear, why have you come this far.."

Ohhmm!!!!

The door opened loudly.

"Paaa.. Howdy!"

But the Papa just left after knowing that fact.
