Meaning of a Relationship

Episode 32 - Sepi Tanpamu

Mobile phones as electronic media is a mandatory item for Reva that must be carried. Every day he does not escape from that one thing. To communicate with Raditia who is different from him.

Like today, he waited for a chat reply from Raditia. Can't wait for Reva to try to contact her, but there's no reply from her.

I don't know why in the past few days Raditia hasn't contacted Reva. Reva chat many times, but no reply. Reva made a video call and was never picked up.

Reva is afraid that something will happen to Raditia. Now all he has in mind is Raditia and Raditia. The only way, Reva has to ask Niken. To find out how Raditia is now.

Niken's answer was enough to make him relieved. Niken says that Raditia is fine. Reva doesn't have to worry about her brother's safety. Because the existence of Raditia there is always escorted by the men of papa Raditia.

" Oh, so did Niken. Sorry I'm troubling you"

" It's okay, brother, if I'm in the position of brother I will also be confused. But you don't have to worry about Raditia's condition. Sooner or later you will definitely contact Reva, be patient, brother" Niken tried to convince Reva

" Yes, thank you Niken. Again sorry I've been troubling you"

" Same brother, it's okay brother. Take good care of yourself there, yes"

" Yes Niken, you're fine there too"

Reva disconnects the call, switches the phone screen to the photo gallery. He looked at one by one Raditia photos and photos of her togetherness with Raditia. No tears streamed Reva's cheeks, while stroking Raditia's face from her phone.

" I'm sorry brother, I lied to you" muttered Niken inwardly.

It's been almost two weeks Raditia's had no news. Where is Raditia, how is she, is she okay. Or something is happening to him.

" Dear, what's really going on with you. Until when will we be like this" muttered Reva in his heart, who was still dissolved in his empty daydream.

" Reva, don't be sad. Pray Raditia will be fine there" Tenyata realized earlier Tria noticed Reva's behavior.

" What if it turns out that she's there with another woman, Tria" suddenly Reva asks that question.

" Ree, don't think like that. Raditia is very closed to other women. You have to trust him Ree" Reva fell silent, Tria's words were true Raditia is not the type of man in general. Who like to seduce, flailing here and there.

" You're right, Tria, I'm so stupid that I have such bad thoughts about her" Reva cursed herself that she didn't trust Raditia.

" It's yuk, we break Ree. Take care of your health, don't get you sick, okay" Reva laid down her body, and tried to close her eyes.

The day passed quickly, Reva busied herself on campus activities. That way Reva was able to shift her mind about Raditia.

At lunchtime, Reva saw a piece of paper stuck to the wall. On a piece of paper it was written, if the mother of the canteen needed someone to help her. Reva grabbed the kerta and walked to the cashier's desk.

" My mom wants to pay" Reva pulled out a wallet in her purse.

" Yes, yes, all out twenty-three thousand yes" said the canteen waiter. Reva handed over some money to the cashier.

" Oh yes mbak, is it true the canteen mother while looking for labor yes"

" Yes right, because I was overwhelmed by my own work. I asked my mom to find someone"

" Can I apply for a job here mbak" Hearing Reva's words, the girl stood facing Reva.

" Is it serious to work part time here, is it okay mbak?!"

" No papa mbak, as long as the working hours are adjusted to the empty hours of my lecture mbak"

" Well, come with me to the kitchen to meet my mother" Reva followed the girl named Beautiful into the kitchen to meet with Ms. Arum.

" Mom, mother" call Beautiful.

" This Mom there is mbak Reva, he said mbak Reva wants to work here "Mum Arum also stopped his activities and turned to the two.

" Yes Ma'am, let's introduce my name Reva. I want to be a mother employee, if allowed" Reva bowed shyly.

" This is it, son Reva would like to help me just as Beautiful. But I can't give you a lot of salary, son"

" Yes Aram ma'am I seriously want to work here. For the salary I follow my mother only, I receive whatever you give. As long as I can fill my free time helping my mother in the cafeteria. I promise I will obey my mother, and I will not trouble you" Ms. Arum smiled at Reva's explanation.

" Yes, yes, I'll accept you to work here with pleasure son Reva" Bu Arum is happy that in this city there are still good and friendly girls, like this Reva. Not like most of the kids out there.

" Wahh, this is right, ma'am. Thank you ma'am, thank you" Reva yelled at Ms. Arum's hand. Bu Arum grabbed Reva's shoulder and hugged her.

" You work from tomorrow, son, you can"

" Can Mom, I can. Tomorrow I will put my college schedule on the board here huh Ma'am. So that mom and mbak Indah know the schedule off and on me" Reva pointed to a whiteboard that contains a daily menu that will be cooked Bu Aram.

" Yes, Reva, that's a great idea"

" Thank you so much, ma'am, I'm going home" Reva kissed the back of Ms. Arum's hand.

" Yes, Reva yes, I also thank you for helping my mother. Be careful on the road, son" Reva nodded and waved.

Reva arrived at the boarding when it was still afternoon, the clock showed at 17:00 WIB. Today Reva's schedule is cooking for her dinner with Tria. Reva cooks her favorite fried chicken and sambel ijo. Not to forget the vegetables of cabbage, basil leaves, and cucumbers as a complement.

After finishing Reva headed for the bathroom, to clean her asem body. Every now and then Reva recalls Raditia, every memory of Raditia makes him sad.

Haus, tok,tok...

Hearing the sound of knocking on the door from outside, disperse Reva's daydream. Reva walked forward to open the door.

" Wihh, miss for a long time. Until the tingling of my feet" said Tria noticed Reva's puffy eyes.

" I'm sorry Tria, I was still changing. Let's wash our hands quickly, then eat I'm already very hungry" Reva tried to take Tria's eyes off.

" Alright, alright. My stomach is also rumbling" while holding his stomach.

Tria refrains from asking why Reva is crying. Because he already knew the answer must be because of Raditia. Not wanting her best friend to get sad, Tria pretends not to know.

" Tria, from tomorrow I work part time at the campus cafeteria"

" Ohuk, uhuk..." Tria chokes, hearing the news Reva throws.

" Here, drink first" Reva handed Tria a glass of water.

" You're serious Ree, the activities in the campus have taken up a lot of time. Why should I add part time work all the way"

" That's okay, Tria, I can still do it. Itung-itung make more pocket money 😁" Reva smiled without sin.

" Why, our money's been more than enough for all this time Ree"

" Just want Tria, alone bored me"

" If it's all because of Raditia, I don't want Ree. Never mind, don't torture yourself too much. Somehow Raditia now, I don't want you to fall like this Ree. It's not you, I know Raditia means a lot to you. But don't torture yourself Ree. I'm sad to see you like this Reva "cries Reva broke hearing everything Tria threw at her. Tria hugged Reva's body that looked thin.

Within minutes Reva was crying in Tria's arms. Tired of crying, Reva stretched her arms and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

That night Reva complained all her heart to Tria. Tria as much as possible gives advice and advises the best for Reva. Although far from Reva's parents or relatives, there was never any distress. Because there are still friends who are ready to share their joys and sorrows.
