Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 19: The Scoundrel

Krieikk...!

I closed the side door of the boarding house after accompanying Bram talking in the car earlier.

I went into the boarding house. When I entered, it was seen the boarding children were chatting in the living room.

Hhmm.., this kost tumben rame.

"Zanu, here!" call Prita from the living room.

I approached Prita and there were a lot of eyes looking at me. They smiled friendly. I don't know them all yet.

"Zanu, get to know this, our hostel friends. Some are still level one, there are seniors level two and three," said Prita.

I smiled and greeted them one by one while saying my own name. There are five people, if the boarding house is plucked here there are seven including me and Prita.

"Well, everybody gathering here, Prita?" I went to Prita.

"Hhmm.., gini, we just peeked at you from the window. Just not visible because you are in the car," said Prita blushed.

"Zanu, where do you know the Chairman from?" ask senior to the point. Senior level 2 named Siska. Siska is a student at the Faculty of Economics.

I sit. And I noticed, looking so hard on their faces, eager to know the story between me and Bram.

"The first time I met when I listed UMPTN Kak Siska. But I didn't know he was the chairman of our campus" I replied.

"Oo.., you're lucky Zanu can know the Chairman. Many issues are circulating, seniors scramble to get close to the Chairman but can not. Moreover, he already has one," said Siska.

I just shut up. It was discussed by Bram that the girl was only a friend of one major.

"The girl was so jutek, if anyone approached the Chairman, without thinking again, he just wanted to run over people. In addition, the Chairman was stiff and quiet, so no one knew whether it was true that the two of them were dating" said Kak Rosi, third-level of the Faculty of Agriculture.

"But that's what makes girls in the clamps Kak, our Chairman cool, ha.ha.ha..," said Mira, a class of the Faculty of Electro Engineering.

"You're no less beautiful than that girl Zanu. Maybe there is something interesting from the room, until the Chairman wants to get close to Zanu," said Siska.

"Ah Brother, it's normal. I consider the Chairman is also mediocre Brother. We met a few times, it was by chance,"

"Oiya, your beautiful words were for the Chairman, so cool. All in shock, especially when you fainted earlier," said Rani, a force of the Faculty of Civil Engineering.

"What's so surprised why?" manya curious.

"You passed out, in the bopong with the Chairman until the recovery room. Many are whispering, if the moment was like a Korean movie," Rani replied with a smile.

"Goboh everything Zanu. Especially senior girls, really envious to see you in that carrier," said Prita.

"We all love Chairman Zanu. But if the Chairman is interested in you, we're happy, too" said Mira blushed shyly.

"Mending Chairman with you Zanu, than the girl. What the hell's his name?" kak Kinan turned to Rani. Kinan is a third-level senior, Faculty of Mipa.

"Name Sari. He's my senior, one generation is also the same Chairman. Now they're seventh semester. The chairman has long been active in BEM, from the third semester. Listen to our Rector, his Uncle Chairman. And the Chairman is not an arbitrary person. That's what I just found out from my friends' stories" answered Rani.

"Tell the Chief of Civil Engineering?" my many.

"Yes Zanu. The leader is smart and charismatic. He also cares about the cases that are on campus or the communities out there. He also handled the case of eviction of a small shop in the terminal. It was a scene at that time, because what he faced was the Mayor," Kak Siska's story at length.

Yeah, I remember. Bram told me about it when he drove me to the terminal. No wonder everyone in the terminal knows him.

"Anyway, our Chairman is Zanu's complete package. That's why many like the same Chief. Not just girls, but guys also salute the Chairman. Besides being brave, she cares too" Mira added.

"OKAY. It seems complete about the Chairman. I don't even know anything. Thanks for the info. But I am the same Chairman there is nothing, everything is just a coincidence," I said firmly.

"We support you, Zanu, if the Chairman likes you" said Kak Kinan.

"Yes," all answered in unison.

"Well, today my parents want to come here. Bring the things I need later. So, excuse me for going to see Mami," I said.

"OKAY. All right, everybody, I'll rest in Prita's room.

"Please Zanu, tonight we gather again," said Rosi.

"Good Brother,"

*******

I was in Prita's room. Prita room shades of pink. All pink, so my eyes feel bright when entering Prita's room.

Prita let me lie in her bed. I collapsed for a moment and closed my eyes and fell asleep.

*******

"Zanu! Build Zanu. Your parents have come" Prita woke me up.

"Eh yes Prita, thank you," I replied directly sitting down.

After my life had been collected, I got out of Prita's bed and came out of the room.

In the living room already seen Papa and Mama who were chatting with Mami kost.

"Zanu, how's sleep, son?" my mother said when she saw me coming.

"Not too good, Ma, but you can rest a while" I replied and immediately sat down on the sofa.

"Look, Zanu, Papa and Mama you've been talking to Mami. And have looked around but have not seen Zanu's room. Your parents have a deal to let you stay here," said Mami Kost.

I nodded happily and wished that I could stay here.

"Titip Zanu ya Mami's. We can't both come here every day because of work. Once if our holiday stops here again," said Mama.

"Yes Zanu's mother, don't worry. I always watch the kids. Although my house is somewhere else, but like to stop by the boarding house to take care of the gardens,"

"We're going to Zanu's room first, can't we, Mami?"

"Oiya please Ma,"

Papa, Mama and I walked towards the second floor. Right near my room stairs. We go in the room and I turn on the AC.

"The room is quite spacious, yes Zanu, everything is complete here. May Zanu be at home..," said Papa.

"Aamiinu. Yes Pa. Zanu also has acquaintances with friends boarding, Thank God they are good all Pa,"

"Thank God. The important thing is that Zanu remembers the advice of Papa and Mama. Focus on college, son, do not date first. If anything is lacking, Zanu can call home,"

"Good Pa,"

Before Papa and Mama get home, we'll eat in my room. Mama brought a lot of rendang, can make my side dish for the next few days.

After satisfied chatting and spoiled, Papa Mama said back home. Not to forget also saying goodbye to Mami Kost and my friends.

It's sad to be so far away from Mom and Dad. But I have to be independent and take care of myself in this city.

I drove Papa and Mama to the front yard of the boarding house.

"Bye Zanu, take good care of yourself, son," said Mama.

"Yes Ma, Papa, be careful on the road,"

Papa and Mama leave. The car drove until it disappeared from my sight.
