Day starts afternoon. At 16.02. Faris looked at her watch. Sunday had not come to him in the canteen. The canteen began to fall. Suzan & Windy came home 2 hours ago. What Faris did after that was just playing games on his phone.
For a long time he was really bored. 5 bottles of drinks have run out, snacks are also no longer on his desk. It's ridiculous that he waited all day Sunday in this cafeteria. Faris laughed at herself.
The cloud started to paddle. The wind is blowing hard. The canteen is not completely surrounded by walls. There are some places that are only roofed but not walled. So when the wind blows the cold air immediately enters.
"Oh my God, are you really waiting for me?" Sunday was suddenly in front of Faris without him noticing.
"Of course, I said I'd wait for you."
"Let's go home." Take Sunday. Faris moved from her seat.
"You really don't have a job." Said Sunday on the way to the parking lot.
"I told you I don't have a job right now. So I'm waiting for you in the cafeteria." Faris walked next to him.
"But I told you I'd be long over."
"Suzan & Windy are out of there."
"I'm an intern first."
"Yes, I know from them." Reply to Faris leisurely who had reached the parking lot and opened his car door. Sunday came in because the drizzle began to fall.
"Why not just go home."
"I told you I'd be waiting for you that means I'm really waiting for you."
"Basic has no job." Sunday was a little upset. Why would anyone like Faris waste time just waiting for him from morning to evening like this.
"What if I'm waiting for you? You're afraid your girlfriend will find out?"
"Whose girlfriend?" Sunday asked Faris for not understanding what he was saying.
"Your boyfriend."
"I don't have a boyfriend."
"Oh, I forgot, your boyfriend is me."
"Huh, it's too lazy to talk to you." Sunday closed his lips tightly because it was upset Faris always teased him so. And on the contrary with Faris, he was grim looking at Sunday's expression like that.
The rain is now completely down. Faris's car drove moderately because of the rain made a short visibility. Until arriving in front of the house Sunday the rain has not subsided.
"Thank you for waiting and picking me up."
"Don't thank me, I'm just bored and need a new atmosphere so waiting for you is also for the good of my soul." Elak Faris's.
"Okay, I'm in first." Sunday was about to open the door but Faris grabbed his hand. Ban Sunday out.
"What's wrong?"
"Let me drive you in." Faris took the umbrella behind her seat.
"No, I'll go in by myself. Here I bring my own umbrella." Decline Sunday. He didn't want one more umbrella with Faris. It was too troublesome to calm his heart that lately was often unstable for some reason.
"All right." Faris gave up her umbrella. Sunday opened her umbrella outside her new car. After saying goodbye, Sunday entered his yard. Faris was still watching Sunday until he entered his house. I don't know, he likes doing that. Sunday's hair that is on its back when walking follows the rhythmic movement of the steps. That really fascinated him.

Sunday is boiling instant noodles in the kitchen. Cold air is perfect for eating warm-warm-fruitful.
The phone on the dining table vibrated the sign of a message coming in.
Victor: are you home safe?
Message from Victor. Tumben he sent a message whose contents were not related to the apprentice.
Sunday: yes, brother
Victor: not rained?
Sunday: no brother
Victor: thank goodness
Sunday did not reply again because it did not know what to reply. He continued to boil his noodles. After he finished bringing the noodles to the dining table. But just about to put noodles in his mouth, a phone came in. Sunday looked at the caller's name and raised him lazily.
"How are you, Sunday?" A heavy voice from across.
"Good." He answered briefly and then put the still rather hot noodles into his mouth.
"Papa sent some money to your account. Is it in?"
"I told you Papa didn't have to bother doing that. We can meet our own needs even if not with Papa's money."
"Of Sunday, Papa is your father who must support you. Don't refuse Papa's gift. You're Papa's daughter."
"Yes, I am Papa's daughter. That won't change until anytime. So, let that be enough for us, Pa. Our relationship is just that."
"Sunday.pardon Papa." His father always apologized to Sunday that their conversation had reached this point. "Papa didn't mean to leave you. If your mama had allowed it, Papa would have loved to have you stay with Papa."
"No, thank you, Pa. I'm not Papa. I love Mama very much. So I'm not leaving Mama for anything and for anyone."
"Papa is guilty of you and your mother. But, know that Papa never stops loving you."
"Okay Pa, I'm a little busy. So I hung up on him."
"Alright Sunday, take good care of yourself. Papa loves you." Sunday answered nothing and then hung up.
Sunday stared blankly at the noodles in front of him which began to cool and expand and then sighed heavily.
The heartache of losing the figure of a father in his life has not healed until now. Since the departure of his father, Sunday seemed to have lost love for him.
When Sunday was a child, he often saw his mother crying in the middle of the night while looking at photos of the three of them while going to the amusement park. In the photo, Sunday and his parents look happy. If not wrong, the photo was taken when Sunday was only 3 years old.
From there Sunday knew that his mother was very hurt betrayed by his father. Her mother who always looked sweet and strong before Sunday actually kept a deep wound.
How not, at a young age must be a single parent. Taking care of Sunday alone without a partner. And at the time of her recent marriage she had to feel the bitterness of her love. Until now, his mother did not want to marry again because she did not give her stepfather to Sunday. That's the reason Mama Sunday every time she asked why her mother always likes to be alone and not marry again.
But Sunday wasn't too sure that was the only reason his mother was. There may be other reasons that her mother didn't want Sunday to know.
"If you eat, do not daydream. The chicken will die." His mother, who was suddenly in front of Sunday, broke her mind. So daydreaming that he did not realize his mother who had come out of the room and observed him before breaking her daydream.
"Can't have a chicken, Ma" Sunday fluttered but then smiled.
"By the way, is that noodle soup or fried noodle?" Sindir mama who saw Sunday noodles has fully expanded to absorb all savory sauce.
"Mie fried soup, Ma." Answer the Sunday origin. My mother laughed and went into the bathroom.

The next day before Sunday left for campus, Faris was already standing at his doorstep.
"What's wrong?"
"Can't I take my umbrella?"
"Oh my God, how stingy." Gerrutu Sunday's. Faris chuckles.
Faris used an umbrella as an excuse to meet Sunday today. Because Sunday is too adorable for him to miss even a day. It does not matter if he has to travel from his home to the Sunday house for 1 hour. For him it was easy.
Sunday came out the terrace and carried Faris' umbrella. He deliberately did not allow Faris to enter because his mother had gone to teach. Sunday is not good to bring a male friend into the house when there is no mother. He was worried that the neighbors would think badly of him.
"It." Sunday handed the umbrella to Faris.
"Don't you have to go to college after this?"
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Sunday briefly. "But how did you know I was going to college after this?" Sunday probing.
"Oh, yesterday I heard Suzan & Windy talking about it so I thought you had the same schedule."
"Oh..." Sunday understand. "Here you go, I'll go." Banish Sunday.
"All I'll take you with me."
"No no. I don't want to torture you by waiting for me until the afternoon like yesterday. I'll go alone."
"But your legs haven't recovered yet." He pointed at Sunday's feet.
"No, my legs are fine. I'm sure I can wear it to run now."
"Don't, it still takes time to completely recover."
"Hey, the one with the leg is me, so I know exactly what happened to my leg."
"really?" Faris frowned.
"Hm." Sunday is sure.
"All right, then. I'll go home first."
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Sunday. Then Faris really came home with a heavy heart because it did not manage to take Sunday to the campus. That means this morning he can not linger with Sunday.
