After school Rahma and Della did not go home immediately but they chose to go to a small shop that was across the school street.
"Rah, there's something important I want to talk about." Said Della after finishing eating fried noodles and iced tea.
"What's del, I think it's serious." Rahma.
"Yes, this is serious. I'm moving schools."
"What! that's right. Why and what is it? Why did you have to change schools?" rahma asked in shock because she never thought that her only friend would change schools.
"Dad wanted me to go to school in Jakarta.Oh yes you know no, actually I'm not a real person here."
"You mean?" rahma asked not to understand.
"Actually my father is from Yogyakarta while my mother is from Jember. And after they got married, my mother went with my father to Yogykarta until I was born and went to elementary school there. But when I entered Junior High, my father and mother asked me to stay in Jember with my grandmother because my grandfather died of a heart attack. At first I didn't want to but because they made it, I didn't want to have to obey. And now that my grandmother passed away 3 months ago, my father again told me to move to Jakarta."
"Who are you in Jakarta?" ask Rahma.
"Come on, maybe I'll spend it there."
"Aren't you afraid of being alone in Jakarta?"
"Fear but how else, this is an order from my father and I can't refuse."
"If so, I'll go with you to Jakarta."
"Are you serious?" ask Della not to believe it.
"Yes I'm serious. We're moving to Jakarta. Later after coming back from here, I'll tell aby and umy.
"But they can't possibly get you, considering you're a girl and an only child."
"I can persuade them. I thought when you were moving?" ask Rahma.
"Maybe tomorrow I'll take care of all my transfer papers."
"All right, tomorrow I'll take care of it too."
"Do you really want to come with me to move schools to Jakarta?"
"Yes, we're best friends, everywhere we have to be together."
"Thank you, yeah."
"Either. Let's go home."
"Come on."
Della and Rahma go home after paying for their food. Once at home, Rahma immediately changed clothes and after that they went to the store menumui aby and umy who were there for the sale of clothes. Rahma went to the clothing store to ride an angkot because the distance is quite far while she did not have a vehicle at home. So I don't want him to have to ride an angkot.
Upon reaching the store, Rahma immediately said her greetings and kissed the hands of the two of them.
"Rahma's eating?" tanya umy who's tearing up.
"It's umy." Rahma answered again thinking how to talk to aby and umynya about her who wants to change schools.
"What's the matter, baby?" tanya umy who feels something is wrong with her daughter.
"Anu umy....."
"Why, just talk. Umy can't be mad."
"Yes, son, what's wrong? If there's a story problem with umy and aby." Said Sutrisno, Rahma's father.
"Anu, Rahma wants to change schools." Rahma said courageously.
"Emang why? You have a problem at school until you have to move everything?" ask aby hawatir.
"Not." Reply Rahma.
"Continue?"
"Rahma wants to join Della who also moved to Jakarta."
"Why did Della move to Jakarta?" maryani asked Rahma's mother. Maryani is known by Della because Rahma has invited Della to play at home several times.
"It was her father who forced Della to move umy. He's in Jakarta alone. Rahma wanted to accompany him. Rahma doesn't want to be far from Della no matter how Della is always there for Rahma. Even Rahma already considered Della as Rahma's own brother." Reply to the hopeful Rahma.
"But son, you're our only child. How could aby and umy be able to let you go and away from dad and umy. Would you leave aby and umy alone? You've never been to Jakarta, Jakarta is hard, son." Sutrisno.
"Actually I can't stand aby and umy. But how else, on the one hand I also want a new atmosphere. Besides I went to school in Jakarta, I can look for a different experience than before, I can also study independently and not only depend on aby and umy. Besides I'm in Jakarta with Della, I'm sure God willing me and Della take good care of themselves." My words that tried to persuade aby and umy hoped they would agree to my wishes.
"It's okay, let our daughter change schools. Maybe he wants to find experience, but Rahma is also an adult. He knows what to stay away from and what to approach. God willing, our child cannot go the wrong way. All this time we always educated him hard and he was always in siplin and obeyed all our wishes. Maybe it's time we got to let him go to get some science in his town." Umy always defended Rahma.
"But the deck, I'm afraid our daughter's doing something. She's our only daughter."
"His God Rahma will be fine. We help prayer from here so that wherever Rahma is, God will always protect her."
"Well, the mas will allow our daughter" Sutrisno said, succumbing, even though his heart was very heavy.
"When do you want to change schools, son?" ask Maryani.
"Tomorrow me and Della will take care of umy's transfer papers."
"Well umy and aby will always support whatever decision you make, take good care of yourself."
"Thank you umy" said Rahma who langsugn hugged her umy with love and affection.
The next day, Rahma and Della take care of her transfer papers. Many teachers are shocked and do not expect students who are very accomplished like they have to change schools. Very dear, even though Rahma and Della are the muris of school pride but whatever the power, all teachers can not prevent their departure however Rahma and Della have the right to apply for a change of school.
Mr. Go also heard that Rahma was going to change schools felt like something was missing in him. Mr. Go also promised to join the transfer of teaching to the place where Rahma will go to school. He did not want to be far from Rahma who had secretly stolen his heart.
After finishing taking care of the moving letter, Della and Rahma immediately go to class to apologize to her friends perhaps during their time together, Della and Rahma have made mistakes both intentionally and unintentionally. After nearly fifteen minutes, forgive each other. Della and Rahman pamit. His friends were crying, they did not expect to part with Rahma and Della.
"Rah, thank you for coming with me to change schools." Said Della when they had left the school and went to Rahma's house.
"Well, we're best friends so wherever you go, I'll come along. It's so hard to be together. I have also been wanting to go to Jakarta for a long time." Rahma smiled. Della is so grateful to have such a good friend.
Arriving at home.Rahma, aby and umynya waiting. They deliberately did not go to the store because they wanted to see their daughter before leaving for Jakarta.
"It's your shirt and all your gear's been umy put in the bag." Umy said while shedding tears, it was heavy to let go of his daughter to go far but as a parent he did not want to be selfish. He did not want to hold his daughter too tight.
"Thank you umy, I went straight to Della's house and then straight to the station." Said Rahma who was chasing time because if you take the train late by one minute it has been charred tickets. Rahma and Della booked a ticket last night and now they're leaving.
"Dear, your heart is there. Later money problems will umy transfer every month." Umy.
"Yes umy." Said Rahma while hugging her umy. And then change into hugging his aby.
"Aby, take care of umy yeah. If anything, call Rahma immediately." Said Rahma crying.
"Yes son, you are also there to take good care of yourself. Do not forget to pray five times. Lots of salary and don't get mismanaged. Find a good friend who can remind you when you're going the wrong way. Not a friend who even plunges you in a abject and idle abyss." Aby said.
"Yes aby, I'll always remember aby's message. If so, Rahma said goodbye first." Rahma kissed their hands. While Della just kissed Rahma's umy hand.
"Tante, Della said goodbye first." Della smiled kindly.
"Yes, son, we'll take Rahma. Don't fight."
"Yes aunt. Um, I'm saying yes." Della said without shaking hands with her father Rahma because his father Rahma did not want to come into contact with women who were not halal for him.
"You take good care of yourself. Remember the five-time prayers don't get to the hole."
"Yes om, God willing to pray I will not leave. If so, Della says so first. Assalamu'alaikum." Della.
After that Rahma and Della went to Della's house to get clothes and then went to the station. Della didn't need to say goodbye because she's been living alone in the house since her grandmother died. His parents are still in Yogyakarta.
After arriving at the station, they immediately register and then go inside. Shortly after, the train stopped in front of him. Rahma and Della get into the train, and they get into 3D and 3E. Rahma and Della sit together because they booked her ticket last night after Rahma called her and said she would come to Jakarta. Della has been on the train several times so she knows and understands very well how to choose a chair to be able to sit together.
While in the train Della and Rahma chatted, they talked about their lives in Jakarta. Until not felt after a few hours in the train they finally arrived also in Jakarta.
Della immediately opened her phone and looked for boarding at the place they were going. After finding a place that fit and comfortable, Della immediately ordered a taxi online. It didn't take long, the taxi arrived. Rahma and Della get into a taxi and drive to the city where they are going to live.
"Is this really what it costs?" ask Rahma.
"Yes right." Answer Della.
"Just a minute, I'm going to the boarding house first." Said Della, Rahma just nodded her head. Because he does not know what to do, while Della is like an experienced person until he knows what he has to do.
After 15 minutes of waiting, Della came with the key.
"This is your key, and this is mine. Your room is next to mine." Della smiled.
Della and Rahm went to their rooms. Rahma saw the contents of the cost, although narrow but quite good. There is only a bed and a bathroom. There is no kitchen because the place is very narrow. The facilities thankfully there are bookshelves, mattresses and wardrobes. After cleaning, Rahma decided to take a shower and pray. Fortunately umy sprightly and understanding so that Rahma does not need to go out again to buy her needs because inside is complete, clothes, face, face, writing books and other school tools and toiletries such as methamphetamine, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo. Even her makeup tools are also brought. Rahma is very grateful to have a mother as good as her umy.
After finishing the prayer, Rahma wanted to lay her body on the mattress, but just wanted to sleep suddenly there was a knock on the door. Rahma immediately opened it.
"Rah, this is the food I bought for you. You eat first so as not to hurt after that immediately rest. I'm also going to rest. Tomorrow we have to get up early for the school list." Della.
"Yes Del. Thanks for the food."
"It's the same."
After Della leaves, Rahma immediately closes the door and locks it from the inside. After that, he ate the food that Della bought.
The next day, Rahma woke up at 3 am. As usual he prayed at night and after that njai while waiting for adzan shubuh arrived. After the adzan shabuh, Rahma immediately performed the two rakaat prayers. After the prayer, he went to Della's room and took Della for the morning walk until half-six and after that they returned to the boarding house to take a shower and ready to go to school.
Exactly 6 hours past 15 minutes, Della and Rahma were ready. Their school is not far away and only needs to walk.
"Rah, we stopped at that stall first huh. We buy food first, it's not good for school if the stomach isn't filled." Della. Rahma just said it.
Rahma and Della ordered rice pecel and water only because they had to save money. Because after all they live in Jakarta without family and in Jakarta everything is expensive. So they must be smart to manage their money until the time comes for their parents to send money.
After eating, Della and Rahma go to school and meet with the Headmaster. They were accepted without any tests. And that day they can immediately enter school and they also do not need to buy a new uniform because the same school uniform that is now the same. Della and Rahma are very grateful for that.
Friends at the new school are very welcome to Rahma and Della so that makes Raham and Della very comfortable there because at the new school there is no word bully. But however Rahma and Della must keep their attitude in front of all her friends, especially her teacher.
----------------
After one week of school, everything was normal. Rahma and Della are enjoying their day. Every night Rahma also called aby and umynya in Jember.
Honestly, after a week he moved to school. Rahma felt very missed to Mr. Go. Usually he always see the face of Mr. Go every day but since he moved school, he can no longer meet the teacher who has made his heart pounding. He can only pray that God will soon meet him again with Mr. Go so that the feeling of kangen in Rahma's heart can be treated.
"You why Rah? Kog continues to bengong?" ask Della who is currently in Rahma's room to do the task.
"Grandfather, I just miss our old school." Rahma replied half-truthfully because she could not say that she missed Mr. Go.
"Me too but how else now we have a new school. Just be patient." Della calms Rahma's heart.
"Yes." Yeah."
After they finished their work, Della returned to the room to rest because tomorrow had to go to school again.
-------------------------------------
Today Della and Rahma are ready to go to school. Rahma and Della decided to have breakfast in the cafeteria because they were a little tired of eating at the stall only. They both want something different. After all the price in the cafeteria is also not too expensive and almost the same as the price in the stall.
After breakfast in the cafeteria, they went to class. But until the class, the children were excited.
"What the hell is Li, kog rame?" della asked Dahlia who was familiarly called Lia.
"There's a new teacher at this school, man. And he's very handsome." Replied Lia who was smiling happily.
"Oh, don't think anything's wrong." Della replied, sitting in the front seat with Rahma.
After the bell rang, all the children rushed into the classroom. Della and Rahma are busy telling stories about what is important not to talk about the ugliness of others. But when they were engrossed in the story, a handsome teacher arrived at the front of the class with great confidence.
"Sir Go." Della and Rahma were almost at the same time.
"What if he's here?" ask Rahma.
"Don't be a new teacher like Lia said earlier." Answer Della.
"He moved here too?" ask Rahma.
"Once but the hell yes. Did he follow us here?" ask Della.
"The hell followed us? Did you ever know where to transfer schools?" ask Rahma.
"Either when we asked for the letter to move, did the principal have time to change schools where we want to? I kept answering in Jakarta, XX school. And as I answered that, there was Mr. Go. And maybe Mr. Go shakes up my words." Answer Della.
"Well, Mr. Go would move for us?" ask Rahma.
"I don't know either. Maybe he also moved here because there are important things that he has to take care of here. It's not necessary to think about." Answer Della relax.
Rahma only nodded her head but honestly in her heart she was very happy because she finally could meet again with Mr. Go, the man of her dreams. Indeed the soul mate is not going anywhere, murmured Rahma smiled.
Mr. Go looked at Rahma and then introduced himself in front of all the students. When he introduced himself, many female students asked for his number but Mr. Go chose to be indifferent. After introducing himself, Mr. Go immediately taught English material in the first hour. Because only that job is available. Mr. Go was grateful when he wanted to teach at this school there was a vacancy for English teachers. Mr. Go who is proficient in English was accepted at the school that finally he could meet again with Rahma.
After two months of school there, Rahma is very excited for school because every day she can meet with Pak Go especially when she knows that actually Pak Go is a Jakarta person who chooses to settle in Jember while opening a business in Jember sana. And now Mr. Go is back in Jakarta again while teaching at his school.
Even though unbeknownst to Rahma, actually Mr. Go was already at home teaching in Jember let alone he had bought a new house there but because Rahma moved to Jakarta, Jakarta, inevitably he must return to his home and continue his business that has now advanced and developed rapidly while the business in Jember, he entrusts to his assistant or his right hand.
"Del, what if we try to apply for a job there?" asked Rahma after school he saw there were job vacancies at a restaurant not far from the school and also the cost.
"What to apply for a job. We're still in school?" ask balek Della.
"It's early morning school till noon Dell. While this works from 4 pm to 10 pm. Wanna not? If not, let me sign up. Who knows, received." Reply Rahma.
"Yes, I want to try too. Make more money jajanku hehe." Della smiled.
"You know his mind is just a snack." murmured Rahma.
Once inside the restaurant
"Assalamualaik." Rahma said politely.
"Vaalaikumsalam. Can I help you?" ask a woman no less friendly.
"So I saw at the door there was a job opening. Is there still?" ask Rahma.
"Oh still deck. Is this adek adek willing to apply for a job here?" ask her.
"Yes." Yeah." Reply Rahma.
"Yes, come with me to the manager's room. It just so happened that the new manager was coming."
Rahma and Della follow in her footsteps.
tok tok (the woman is knocking on the door of the manager's room)
"Lake in." Someone said from inside the room.
The woman opened the door slowly.
"Sorry sir, I'm disturbing." The woman was nervous.
"What's wrong?" asked the man while sitting on his big chair.
"There are two women who want to apply for a job here." The servant replied nervously due to the cold aura of the manager.
"Send them in and you can get back to work." Said the manager without any friendly at all.
The woman immediately asked Rahma and Della to enter the room while she immediately left the room.
When Rahma and Della entered the room, they were shocked to see the man there.
"Sir Go." Rahma and Della said together.
