My name is Maira

- Arman goes -

***

My cut for four days in Jogja runs like lightning.

On Monday my whole family came to see Rasya.

Half-dead I persuaded dimas to wait for me at the hotel.

Dimas finally agreed, but dimas said, if the visiting time is over and I have not appeared in front of him, dimas will go straight to Rani's ward to find me.

And I forgot myself when I saw rasya, rasya made me reluctant to leave him.

I want to always be there when rasya opens his eyes, when rasya cries and when rasya falls asleep.

All of my family also came home as soon as the hour was over, including uti.

Dad was only on half-day leave, so alan's brother drove uti and the others home to rest.

Let me accompany rani and rasya my nephew.

I was shocked when I saw dimas go into Rani's nursery.

At about two in the afternoon, dimas came with a bouquet of flowers and immediately congratulated Rani.

I immediately remembered that I promised to meet dimas at lunch.

Rani looked at me with a confused look.

"I can be a sling too" asked dimas who made rani stop asking me through her gaze.

"May", answered rani kindly.

Dimas then took rasya from my arm.

I ignored rani, who wanted me to answer her confusion.

I just got closer to dimas, and saw rasya who was in dimas arm.

"You've eaten" asked dimas to me and Rani.

"I have, rara not yet", answered rani.

Rasya then cries, and dimas gives it to rani.

"He hates you" I told dimas with a small laugh.

Dimas just smiled, and rubbed my hair.

"Assalamualaikum", a new voice came into the room.

As soon as we look at the door, it turns out her mother rani.

Rani's mother immediately asked me for lunch, and took turns to take care.

Dimas then asked me to come out.

"You first, I'll follow" I said to dimas.

As soon as I was out of the room, I sat down at the side of the bed, then grabbed Rani's hand and pleaded.

"Please don't tell anyone", I asked Rani with a pleading gaze.

"Especially kak alan", I said to rani.

"You know that this is not true" Rani told me.

"Yes I know", I replied.

"Yaudah, I trust you to complete your problem, I will be a secret, but only one month" Rani told me.

I say yes to rani, then I say goodbye to Rani's mother, and straight out of the room.

Dimas was still waiting for me in front of the room when I came out.

"Loh do not go down first", ask me on dimas who is still standing attached to the wall in front of the room rani.

Dimas just smiled and grabbed my hand.

At the moment, I allowed my mother to stay at a hotel near the hospital, the reason, because the house was full of brothers who came.

In addition, so I'm more determined to go back to the hospital.

I also reasoned, even though I was on leave I also had to keep working on some reports from the office.

Everything I said wasn't entirely a lie, but the main reason was, of course, because I wanted to be together.

If only my relationship with dimas was still the same as when I was in college, I would be proud to bring dimas to meet my family.

*

The next day, when I went to the hospital, rani asked dimas, I lied to rani, when dimas had gone home to solo on Monday night.

I also lied that I was going to Jakarta on Wednesday morning.

Wednesday morning, Rani and the baby were also allowed to go home, so no one would bother me if I was absent.

Except for alan's brother, he asked me to take another week off.

If alan knew, I spent time with dimas on Wednesday, from morning until night, he would be instantly enraged.

Wednesday night when she drove me to the airport, she asked me to call her as soon as I got to boarding.

Dimas also asked me to take a leave at the end of next month, so that we can vacation together.

Now I'm back to drowning at my desk.

"Ra said arman thanks him", said Abi whispered to me.

"Yes, Arman said it last night" I replied.

"Who wants to watch" asked lexi, who whispered.

"We want to watch Anabel, don't come" I told Lexi still in a whisper.

Lexi did not answer and returned to her computer.

My relationship with Arman can be explained as a friendship at this time, we are close, but not as intelligent as before.

Sunday is the plan we want to watch, just me, abi and arman.

*

Saturday night when dimas called, I didn't tell dimas I was going to go watch with arman and abi.

I'm just saying that I'm going to go watch with my office mates, ningsih and abi.

I'm not completely lying, I just changed the name of arman to ningsih.

About ten o'clock in the morning, abi and arman picked me up in front of the boarding house, then took his car to the Blok M plaza.

Actually there are many choices of cinema in the mall around sudirman, but for the price, block M is still better, with almost the same quality studio.

Abi dropped me and Arman in front of the lobby plaza, then we went upstairs to buy a ticket.

Arman asked me to buy a snack and he'll buy a ticket.

As soon as Arman was out of the counter, he asked me to hurry, because the movie started in ten minutes.

When I asked abi, arman did not answer.

As soon as we sat in the studio, I called abi, but he didn't answer, and then I left a message that the movie was about to start.

For two more hours I was in the studio, my ears buzzed a little as I came out.

I blame the sound system from the studio, as well as the screams from other audiences who are in the studio with me, although I also contribute the shout.

Arman invited me to lunch after we got out of the studio.

When I asked abi while waiting for our order to come, arman finally confessed, if he just wanted to watch with me, he knew that I would refuse, so arman asked abi for help.

"I leave for zurich next week ra" said arman as I remained silent not answering arman's explanation.

"Switzerland", I asked arman.

"Yes", replied arman briefly.

Along with arman's reply, our order came.

Arman immediately asked me to eat and stopped our conversation.

There was a great sadness when I found out that Arman was going far away.

"Until when" I asked Arman as soon as I finished eating.

"I will go to college there, after that maybe I will settle down" said Arman.

"Arman will not return", I murmured in my heart.

"This is indeed my plan from last year, I already applied for a scholarship from six months ago, and two weeks ago I was accepted, so next week I should set out to take care of everything", arman explained.

I dispelled the sadness that came to my mind, then smiled and congratulated Arman.

I support Arman's decision as a good friend.

I had no right to be saddened by Arman's departure, so I chose to be happy with the future of his choice.

Arman asked me not to refuse his invitation to leave while he was still in Jakarta.

After agreeing not to refuse arman's invitation, arman immediately thanked me while rubbing my hand.

*

Arman will leave for Switzerland on Thursday, on a morning flight.

Arman didn't ask me to drive him to the airport, because he knew I couldn't leave my job.

Arman also said that he had his own reasons for not asking me to drive him to the airport, but Arman wouldn't tell me.

Wednesday night after we had dinner and a short night walk, Arman drove me home to the boarding house.

Arman hugged me and kissed me on the cheek.

Then Arman left after asking me not to forget him.

I smiled as I watched Arman leave, as well as feeling the void space in my heart.

When I looked at my phone screen when I was in the room, I saw dimas calling me ten times.

I chose to clean myself up first, and just called dimas after.

Dimas was immediately furious as he answered the telvon.

Dimas was angry because I didn't answer the phone from him, also because at nine I hadn't gotten to boarding yet.

I lied to dimas, if my office mates invited us to karaoke.

Dimas then said he was going to Jakarta on Friday at about eleven p.m., so he asked me not to pick him up at the airport.

Dimas asked me to wait for him in the hotel room he had booked in my name.

Dimas also said that he would turn off his phone until Friday, because he had to complete a work deadline from a client.

Dimas closed the phone after I said I understood and wouldn't get angry.
