I was still crying, sitting in front of the terrace. I wanted to scream and call Bram's name, but it was useless because Bram wouldn't come back.
"Non, I'm sorry to interrupt. But it's best that Non stop crying, I'm sure the Boss will come back here to see Non Zanu. Now it's best for Non to go home, night hunt. The boss has prepared the driver to deliver Non," Mr. Tio spoke to me in a soft voice, as if understanding what I was feeling.
I nodded and took a deep breath. I wiped my snot and tears with a handkerchief. It's not good that I'm crying here, many will notice me. I stood up and went into the living room to pick up my luggage, including the fruits that Bram had given me this afternoon.
"Non, the boss said, he allows Non to visit this house and also stay overnight if he pleases. He also wanted Non Zanu to see his mini garden once," Mr. Tio delivered Bram's message to me. I didn't expect Bram to bend so that I would see his mini garden, which I hadn't seen with Bram.
"Okay Mr. Tio, thanks for the info. For a while I didn't come here, because it would remind me of my brother's presence in this house" I replied.
"Yes Non, it's okay. Whenever Non plays here, we all gladly welcome him,"
"All right sir, I'm going home. Thank you everyone sir," my luggage was tote up, I went out to the main door, accompanied by Mr. Tio and the two employees behind me.
I saw a car in the front yard waiting for me. I say goodbye and greet them one by one. For a moment I noticed Bram's house so magnificent, engraved my story in the house even if only for a short time.
They released me with a sad look, I don't know what they think of my return.
"Dadaa everything, thank you, yes" that was the last sentence I said before the car drove away to my boarding house.
On the way home, my tears broke even though they made no sound. I remember Bram.
**********
Arriving at the boarding house, I was greeted by Aunt who took care of the boarding. My face I did not show, because surely my eyes are swollen due to most crying. Luckily my hostesses were sleeping in each other's quarters.
"Thank you Bi, I'm going straight up yeah," I said.
Aunty nodded, she walked towards the fence and locked it, including the main door in the living room. This time Aunt stayed at our hostel, because Mami was sick, so it was Auntie who was guarding this hostel for a while.
I went upstairs, opened the door and entered. I fell on the bed and cried again until I fell asleep.
It was getting late, I dreamed of meeting Bram. In the dream I saw Bram who seemed confused to see me, but I don't know why I feel he misses me so much. Suddenly someone hit Bram from behind and he shouted my name with tears.
"Sister!!" I woke up from my sleep. I felt my chest panting with the pain of seeing Bram in my dream.
What sign is that? Is something going to happen to Bram?
I took a deep breath, only to realize that I had not prayed and had not changed my clothes since this morning. I got up and walked to the bathroom in my room.
After praying and changing clothes, I went back to sleep. I pray that Bram will be fine as long as he is away from me.
********
Kringg..!
The alarm rang loudly in my ear. I wake up and turn off the alarm. After the dawn prayer, I took a shower and got ready for college today.
I went downstairs, headed to the dining room for breakfast. It was seen that all the friends of the hostel had gathered there while eating breakfast.
"Hei Zanu, good morning" Siska said for the first time. Everyone looked at me and they looked at me like something was strange.
"Zanu, there seems to be something strange on your face. Why do your eyes look swollen? Did you stay up last night?" ask Sister Rosi. The others nodded, as if they were asking the same question as Rosi.
I'm so nervous and nervous. Confused to answer what.
"Did you cry last night?" kak Siska's guess is correct. But I chose to be quiet.
"What time did you come home last night, Zanu?" ask Kinan.
"Hour is half ten Brother," I replied as I picked up the plate.
"All right, let's have breakfast. It will be late to the campus, "command Kinan.
Everyone was quiet and busy eating their breakfast.
Luckily they didn't ask me any more details.
After breakfast, Sister Siska offered me to come with her. I accepted his invitation, it just so happens that today my feelings have not stabilized.
As Kak Siska's car passed by the stop, it recalled my story of the first time I went with Prita on the campus bus. We both waited a few times for the bus at the stop. It could be that Prita and I have our own car, but we both prefer to enjoy the ride on public transport. I think that's my best memory with Prita.
Suddenly my memory was lost when I realized that Prita was Bram's future wife. I can't hate Prita, because I'm sure she'll never want to be owned by Bram. And vice versa.
"Zanu, why did you just shut up from earlier? Is there something you're thinking about? Tell me if it can lighten the burden of your mind, let your heart plong," it turns out that Siska noticed me earlier.
"No sister, I was just thinking about Prita. Now he's not in college anymore, he's just a close friend of mine at college. I don't know anyone in my care" I lied a little and tried to keep everything I've been through. Let them know for themselves.
"Walking up time, you must have many friends Zanu. Especially later, many tasks require you to work together, believe me," Siska gave me encouragement and reassured me.
Siska's car has entered the campus. He parked his car next to the Rectorate building. It just so happened that my college place and Siska's sister weren't too far away, so we walked in the same direction.
"Let's go home, if you want to come with Brother again," said Siska.
"No, brother, I don't know when it's time to go home. Let me get back on the bus" I declined his offer.
"Alright then, Brother first yes,"
"Yes, brother, thank you for delivering Zanu,"
"Together,"
Sister Siska turned towards her campus, while I was still walking straight towards my place. I turned briefly towards the Rectorate building, remembering that Bram often went in and out of there.
Now there are only memories.
"Zanu! Zanu! Wait!" yelled at someone who called me from far away.
When I looked around, I was surprised to see who called me. I was confused, did I continue my steps or stop waiting for him?
