The afternoon changed night.
After dinner and prayers, I immediately fell on the bed. I remember the novel I borrowed this afternoon. I'll grab it on the little table.
I looked closely at the novel, its simple title and its very thick sheet. Maybe it took three days I could finish reading it, it was also if the routine read a few hours in a day.
I opened it and read the first part.
"The story of the struggle of a girl who is still a virgin, willing to mortgage her virginity at a high price in order to get out of her current residence. And to change his fate even better"
At the beginning of the story, I found it very interesting to read. Even my curiosity always appeared from page to page. But the drowsiness started coming towards me, I decided to stop reading the novel.
After I put the novel on the small table, I immediately pulled the blanket and slept.
********
The next morning, the weather was a little cloudy and it felt cold. Fortunately, there was no rain. Prita and I rushed to the campus to avoid the rain. Not to forget, we brought umbrellas just in case.
I also wear a Bram jacket. So that my body would not feel the cold. I haven't worn a Bram jacket in a long time.
Arriving at the campus, Prita and I immediately followed the lecture hours. Today there are three courses that we must take.
Before college ended, suddenly the rain began to fall. The longer it gets faster and it takes a long time to stop. Because cloudy has been seen since this morning, which usually indicates the rain will last long.
After finishing college, Prita and I walked to the top stop wearing their umbrellas.
Not many students are at the top stop because maybe only a few are carrying umbrellas like me and Prita.
Suddenly a car stopped in front of me. The car window opened and it turned out that it was Sacia with her brother Gilang. Sacia waved her hand.
"Zanu, Prita, come with us. Wanna go home, right? All at once, we want to go to the boarding house," said Sacia half-screaming because of the swift rain.
Prita and I just looked at each other. Sacia's still waving so we can come along.
"Yuk Zanu, let's go with them. The goal is the same. Buses are also not necessarily fast here in a state of heavy rain like this," said Prita invite me.
I'm nodding. Yes how else, I have to come with a situation like this that is not possible.
Prita and I finally stepped into the car and walked right in. Our umbrellas are closed and drain for a while, so that the rain does not wet the car too much.
The car finally drove. In the car there is not much we talk about. Just talking about moving Sacia to our boarding house.
Likewise with Gilang, he was more silent and occasionally the supervisor of his sister's conversation.
********
The car goes into the garage in front of the garage. We all get out of the car. I called Aunt over to open the living room door.
Afterwards, Prita, Sacia and Gilang went inside. Fortunately, the front porch of Mami kost used a canopy, so it was not exposed to rain when it came down from the car.
I don't want to go with them. I just got into the living room, suddenly came the car that stopped right next to Gilang's car. I peeked at the door, it was Bram!
Oiya, I forgot, that Bram would come here today. I walked out to Bram. While waiting for Bram to get out of his car, I sat down on a chair located on the terrace.
Bram got out of the car and stood in front of me.
"Zanu, whose car did you ride in?" ask Bram a little emotion.
"Well, do you know where my brother is from?" many wonder.
"Jawab my question first,"
"That's the kid's car that's gonna cost here. I'm the same Prita was boarded earlier while waiting for the bus at the top stop. It just so happens that the rain is heavy and our goal is to come here together," I replied.
"I saw, my car was right behind. Try to wait a few minutes, so I can drop you off, "Bram's getting upset.
"Yes Deck.. I'm sorry," Bram suddenly softened a little.
"Yes, we go into yuk. It's cold in here. All of you acquaintances with the people who bullied us,"
Bram nodded. I walked first and Bram followed behind.
When Bram and I walked in, everyone looked shocked. Especially between Bram and Gilang. It seems like they know each other.
Without any advance direction, Bram and Gilang salaman each other. They look at each other and guess.
"You're Gilang, right? When was Junior High we had one class in America? Pramantio Gilang?" ask Bram.
"Yes, I'm Gilang. You know me? Sorry I forgot to remember" replied Gilang.
"I'm Ibram. The class leader at that time. I remember because there was an X mark on your temple,"
"Oiya, I remember. Ibram the chairman. Whoa! Didn't think we could meet again, did we? You went to college here?" ask Gilang.
"Yes, I studied Civil Engineering. Where do you go to college?" ask Bram back.
"I'm at this University's Medicine too. Same us. Why when ospek we do not meet ya," replied Gilang with a smile.
"I didn't go to Ospek, after a month of street school, I just came in,"
Me, Prita and Sacia were just dumbass from earlier. Between watching or letting them talk.
"Sister, I'm the same Prita take a drink first yes into the. Please continue the conversation," I said breaking the stiffness.
Bram nodded. Not with Gilang who seems not to want my closeness with Bram. I don't know why he's like that?
"Zanu, I'm coming. All of you take my things to the upper room" Sacia said.
I'm nodding. Me, Prita and Sacia walked towards the kitchen. Once in a while Sacia went back and forth between the living room and the upper room to put her luggage.
In the kitchen, Prita and I made a cold syrup.
"Zanu, tumben the Chairman here?" ask Prita.
"It's okay, then he said he wanted to come here" I replied while stirring the syrup.
"It's a good thing they still remember each other. That Gilang if he noticed cool too huh? They both had been to school in America, not ordinary people like him," said Prita who began to kepo.
"Well, it's good that they remember each other and no one is arrogant. You know which Prita is a handsome guy" I chanted.
Prita smiled as she arranged the glass in the tray.
"I see Gilang likes to pay attention to you. Does he have a crush on you, huh Zanu?" ask Prita.
"ah! That's how you feel, Prita. I already have Bram, don't want to think strangely," I caught my hand quickly.
"Yes anyway. Oiya, just now I PDKT same Atif, uh already nongol a handsome guy, ha.ha.ha.ha..," Prita began to act.
"Focus is the same as Atif. Get close to this one, Atif goes. Yes, if this one wants to, if not, disappear into both, he.he.he..," my lead.
"Have you, instead of supporting friends. Atif's not necessarily accepting me. I'm still free to get close to who. Unless you are Zanu, no one has and loves you. Baby, if you're wasted,"
I kept quiet and just kept hearing Prita's rant.
Well, Bram's presence has made me comfortable. Just stay in a match or not. But I realized the longer Bram got more possessive and overused in looking after me.
