I have a novel book.
After that I crossed to the wartel (public phone). I'm gonna call Bram. I really miss Bram.
I went into the wartel and I dialed Bram's number. Seconds by seconds I waited for the connection.
"Hallo, good afternoon. This who?" ask Bram across the street.
"Hallo Kak, this is Zanu" I replied.
"Hei Zanu's. Well, you started calling me now, surely you're missing, right?" ask Bram again.
"Hmmm.. Brother, what else?" I avoided Bram's question out of embarrassment.
"For the meeting, but it's okay if you call. What's up?"
"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you. Yes, yes" I replied in a hurry.
"Tap me to your hostel, yeah,"
"Good Brother,"
The phone disconnected and I went straight outside the wartel. After paying the wartel bill, I immediately walked towards the boarding house.
I went into the boarding house. On the front porch I saw a car parked. Looks like there's a guest. I went straight to the side door.
Not even my feet stepped to the side, suddenly Siska nongol from inside the living room called out to me.
"Zanu, stay here. Brother asked for help," said Siska.
I looked towards the source of the sound.
"Eh, Sister Siska. What's up, brother?" answer me as I approach.
"Here, please Zanu take our guests to see the empty upper room. Brother who talks to his brother," replied Brother Zanu.
"Why don't you take his brother and sister?" manya curious.
"The brother is Zanu's guy, there's no way big brother dong brought in. Let's look around the room,"
"Oiya already Brother, let me bring his sister,"
I followed Siska into the living room. When I went inside, I was surprised. So did the guy's guest.
Turns out it was a guest who hit me in front of the toilet and met me at the novelty rental store earlier. He again drove his sister to see our hostel.
"Talk Zanu, this is Gilang and her sister Sacia" Siska said.
I nodded and saw them both smiling at me.
"I finally know his name" said the man.
"Do you know each other?" ask Siska astonished.
"So happened to meet at a novel rental store," the man replied quickly.
What the hell is this guy? I might see him again.
"I'm waiting for Sacia to take a look at the room above," I said with the boy's chat.
"Eh yes, let's Zanu," Sacia's java was a little surprised.
Sacia and I walked up the stairs. I saw the guy keep looking at me. May Sister Siska tell that guy not to bother me, because I already have Bram.
********
After driving around, Sacia and I went straight down. It turns out that Sacia likes her room and if she is Sacia will stay next to mine.
Sacia was a child of the Faculty of Economics. He did not join ospek from the beginning because there is a family need outside the city. And he decided to host in this area.
Previously he lived with his sister in his own house that their parents bought. Their parents are in Singapore.
Her older sister Sacia turned out to attend the seventh semester of the Faculty of Medicine, the same as Bram. Their home is located not too far from the Faculty of Medicine, but the distance from there to the campus here is quite far. Sacia decides to go.
"Sister, the room and the hostel I like very much. So, I just want to stay here" Sacia told her sister.
"Okay, if that's what you want Dek. Oiya Siska, where's the hostess?" ask Gilang.
"In the meantime, I'm calling Mami Kost. The house is not far from here," replied Siska directly to the living room to call Mami kost.
Yes, I am silent..
"Dek Zanu what department?" ask Gilang.
Ow hell! Take it again.. Should I answer?
"Law" I answered briefly.
"Well, you have to be good at judging people" he said.
What the hell is this guy? Am I a psychologist? The detective? Or face detection?
I just shut up. Let's just say not listening.
He also kept quiet, seeing my mediocre response.
"Zanu, how many minutes from the hostel to the stop?" sacia asked breaking the silence of the atmosphere here.
"Top ten minutes Sacia. Later when we go to college together with Prita," I replied.
Sacia smiled. Suddenly the Gilang phone rang, he rushed up and immediately stepped out.
Siska went into the living room and said that Mami Kost was heading here. So I told you to wait a few minutes.
Not long ago Gilang re-entered and immediately sat down near his sister. I see him occasionally looking at me secretly.
Siska conveys to Gilang, to wait for Mami kost who is on her way to here.
After Siska spoke, there was the sound of a car stopping on the front porch. And make sure it's Mami's car.
And it turns out to be true! Mami Kost entered with her friendly smile.
"Hallo all, my mother's boarding here. Greetings," said Mami while salami them both.
"Greetings to Mom too. Oiya, my sister wants to stay here. I looked at his room. And my sister likes Mom," Gilang said.
"Alhamdulillah.., here the hostel is comfortable and all facilities are complete. Once a week I monitor the children here" Mami said to reassure the state of her boarding house.
"Yes, Mom, I believe. God willing, tomorrow my sister starts to spend here. Now you want to prepare the luggage first. And this I immediately paid in full at the beginning of Bu," Gilang immediately took the money out of his wallet and immediately handed it to Mami.
Mommy accepts.
"Well son, I'll tell Aunt to tidy up and clean up her room. Whose name is son?" ask Mami.
"My grandfather's name is Sacia Bu, just semester one. While I am Gilang. Previously, Adek lived with me, but because the location of the lecture is a little far away, we are initiating to find a hostel around here," replied Gilang.
"It's better to be around here, son. Sometimes there are problems in college. Demo bus, demo angkot, lagging tasks and so on. I hope Sacia stays here while she's here,"
Sacia nodded and smiled.
"Alright Ma'am, we say goodbye first, already want magrib. Maybe my sister's brother's coming home from college, tomorrow straight here. Excuse me, ma'am" said Gilang while standing and greeting Mami.
"Yes, be careful on the road. Tomorrow, Sacia's in her room, right away,"
Sacia smiled again. Siska and I just kept quiet watching them walk out the living room door.
"Oiya, Siska and Dek Zanu, let's say goodbye. Thank you for welcoming us so well" Gilang said later.
Siska and I smiled and took them to the terrace with Mami.
Eventually their car drove out of the boarding house and disappeared from our sight.
"Siska and Zanu, Mami went straight home. Tomorrow Saciaya is welcomed and delivered to her room, if you meet. Otherwise, send the same message to the other children, so they are not surprised by the arrival of new guests," said Mami kost.
"OK Mami," said Siska and I almost together.
Mami immediately farewell and rushed up to her car. Then the car left.
Siska and I went straight inside. I locked the living room door, then I went straight to the room.
I saw the novel I borrowed lying on the bed. "Queen", the title of the novel is short but has meaning.
I can't wait to read the novel.
