Adzan magrib has reverberated.
Me and the other hostel boys pray magrib. After the prayer we gather in the dining room.
"How is your camp there? No exclamation?" said Siska.
"Seru the Kak. But Zanu was lost in the forest and experienced an accident" replied Prita.
"Well! How can?!"
Everyone was shocked to hear Prita's words. I just kept quiet, letting Prita explain what she knew.
"Yes that's the way Kak.., but even hotter, because of the incident, Zanu became closer to the Chairman. From the beginning to go home, near the Chairman. Even more romantic, he..he.he..," Prita increasingly excited to explain.
"That's the name, miserable brings favors, ahaiii..," chirped Mira.
"This is the coolest news on our campus. Eleh.. Steady Zanu! Only a matter of days can make the Chairman of the klepek-clepek," said Kak Siska.
"Another girl had to get out. The chairman was cold, if he could get to the same bucin Zanu, it was amazing..," Sister Rosi joined the fray while making chocolate milk.
I'm still quiet. They don't know the real thing. But my closeness to Bram is true.
Let this be an interesting story for them, my friends are supportive and happy with my story. In my heart there is still doubt.
"Zanu, don't lose the Chairman. Hope your relationship is okay. We are all happy to hear this news. Uhhh..! If only you had a guy like that, not strong ties, in the chain if necessary, ha.ha.ha.ha..," said Siska with a laugh.
Everyone laughed at Siska.
"Eitsat! There's something hotter than Zanu's story. Prita again PDKT same guy," I said.
"Sttts... Don't tell Zanu. Not sure yet" whispered Prita to me.
"Lho! Cool dong Prita. Which dude? College kids too?" ask Sister Rosi.
"Hmmm.. Not Brother. Don't know where he's from, it's still grey. New also exploration," replied Prita timidly.
"Hopefully Prita does her exploratory work. If according to Brother, you guys just focus on college first. After all, if the soul mate also will meet again or there is something better," said Kak Kinan who just came suddenly.
Siska and Rosi Siska mesem-mesem heard Kak Kinan's words.
"Let only these sisters enjoy their time. The important thing is that the courtship is not strange or do inappropriate things" said Siska.
"Yoi, I too if there's a guy, would be happy. College so more spirit and there is a place to vent. But yes, no one wants to" said Kak Rosi.
Me and the others were silent. The mood began to change.
Why is it like this?
Zanu, sometimes in friends there must be someone who likes someone who does not. We are left alone to reveal which will follow. It was just an equally good opinion!.
"Sister, I go upstairs, I want to rest" I said breaking the silence.
"Yes, so am I. Body feels tired abis camp," Prita also follow.
Not to mention I was walking, suddenly Aunt came from the living room.
"Non Zanu, there's a guest. Aunty told me to come in and now she's in the living room,"
"Oiya Bi, Zanu go there. Thank you, Auntie,"
Aunt nodded and went straight to the kitchen.
"Well! Zanu has a guest. We-we can look over Zanu," said Kak Siska spirit.
"At least that's Chief Kak. I also care ah. Honey, if this hot news is passed just like that, hi.hi.hi..," said Prita.
"Say to rest..," Sis Rosi meredek Prita.
"Soul to my keboan is thrashing Brother, please do not hinder, ha.ha.ha..,"
Everyone laughs.
There are-there are these guys. Who is the guest? It could be Bram.
********
I walked into the living room. And it's true it was Bram. I was wearing the same clothes this morning. Surely he is very tired of taking care of this, kasian you brother, I said in my heart.
"Zanu.., I'm sorry I stopped by here at night. My business is done today. Just wait for the decision of the Rector and Dean tomorrow," said Bram.
I sat next to Bram. I noticed Bram, still taking care of my case. With the current situation, it is unethical to discuss the others.
"Sister, Lutfa how is he doing now? Couldn't be on my case in pending first. Focus on Lutfa's recovery first" I replied.
"Lutfa suffered a broken leg and Sari had to be treated, possibly hit in the chest. So they were both on the X-ray and the results are tomorrow, waiting for the Doctor who is an expert in his field. The matter of your case tomorrow remains in the discussion and the absolute decision in the hands of the Rector. Maybe seeing what is happening now, can be delayed first or what, I do not know for sure," replied Bram at length.
"Other than broken, what else did you get?" ask again.
"Yes, bruises all over his body. While Sari's face torn part of the nose to the mouth. They had fainted from the beginning of the incident until they were taken to the hospital" Bram replied.
"Zanu, when Lutfa harmed you, did you never think what your fate would be? You can be worse than that. Both people can, but if you have the intention to harm you, it is a different story. Never mind, you don't think about them. Think college and me!" said Bram, firm but had time to tell think of him.
"Lho's? Why do you follow Brother's thoughts? Did nothing happen?" ask again.
"So you never thought of me Zanu?" Bram asked back. Seen the look of Bram's disappointed face.
"It's not so, brother. How can I think of Big Brother, while Big Brother is constantly approaching Zanu," I replied slowly, afraid to offend Bram.
"Yes already. It's okay, don't think about it, maybe something's still stuck in your heart. Hopefully in the future I can know what it is. Oiya, tomorrow I'm going to Jakarta in the next few days, so it's possible that we don't meet first,"
The deg! You mean I can't see Bram? How'this?
"Cock quiet? What do you want to bring? I'll buy it" asked Bram.
"No need Brother. The important thing is that you survive until the destination comes home and goes" I replied.
"Start attention now, yes!"
Bram was so happy with what I just said. I also don't know why I like it. The longer I feel like this relationship is getting better. Bram also never forced this relationship to be serious.
"Zanu, please get me my backpack. I can't stay long because I want to go home quickly. The body feels tired," said Bram.
"OKAY. I go upstairs and get the backpack. Oiya, what do you want to drink? Let me get you," I asked.
"No, the drinks are in the car,"
I rushed to the room to pick up Bram's backpack. I then gave him the backpack. Bram immediately went home. I'm taking Bram to the front porch.
"Bye Zanu" Bram said as he got into his car.
I just nodded and watched Bram drive his car out of sight.
********
I went inside the hostel and locked the front door. When I was about to go to the middle room, it looks like friends of the boarding house are pretending to watch. Funny to see their behavior. Must've been popping me and Bram in the living room.
"Cie. cie.. Directly in apelin, suiiittt..," said Siska teasing me.
"The more handsome the Chairman yes.., duh, so melted," Prita also teased me.
I smiled at their temptation. My heart was also in a flowery state but considering Bram's words were about to leave, it felt like something was missing.
"Eh Zanu, did the Chairman hear you talk about Sari? What's the matter?" asked Rosi with a serious face mimic.
All of a sudden, everyone sat down and waited for me to speak. It turns out that yes my boarding friends are thirsty for info.
"Yes Kak, this afternoon Sari and her sister were in an accident near our boarding house. His sister broke a leg bone and bruised. While Sari was torn on the face from the nose to the mouth. And on the chest X-ray. Don't know the outcome yet" I replied.
"Lho's? So that was the accident that Sari was with her sister huh? Why didn't the Chairman tell us?" ask Prita in shock.
"Chairman told me Prita. He asked for permission to take them to the hospital. I'm afraid I'm jealous or angry because of Sari, that's it." I replied.
"Well, ask our Chairman for permission. That's a sign the Chairman appreciates your feelings Zanu," said Prita.
"It's called karma. All this time the Sari was an enemy of people, pretentious pretender iye. Not to mention his sister, his arrogant..," said Rani suddenly slumped.
"Yes, just pray that's okay. May they heal quickly. We must not say bad things to others, we can turn to ourselves later" Kinan said.
Everybody nods.
"Zanu, I heard the Chairman was leaving?" ask Siska.
"Kepo very Siska, hi.hi.hi.hi.," said Kak Rosi.
"Wildamah! I love the news that smells like Chief. Especially her boyfriend Zanu himself, a friend of the boarding house. Yes, this news must be very hot on campus," replied Siska.
"She's had Kak's business in Jakarta for a few days. What business does Zanu not know,"
"Don't want to see his parents to bed you Zanu," led Kak Siska.
"Udah Siska. Zanu is also just in college, where possible," said Kinan.
"Who knows, if it's love. The gas!"
"Already, already, disperse! He said Zanu and Prita wanted to rest. What time is it.. We're all going to college tomorrow morning. Yok rest in each room," said Kak Rosi a little reigning.
All move and move from the middle room. The TV is turned off and everyone goes into their rooms.
I went straight to the upper room and immediately fell down. Remember what Siska said about love.
Is Bram really in love with me? Is all his attention said to be love?
I don't know.. It was too early for me to know what love was. Or is it the time?
I fell asleep and fell asleep.
