About the happiness that I mentioned back then, I started to believe that God is the best-case scenario writer. Hengky was right, I became more appreciative every moment after being forged many exams.
The process of writing the thesis is simplified. I didn't go through much revision until my script was done. And Hengky, don't ask. He's finished faster than me. I who was originally a little ogah-ogahan to complete the thesis continued to be thoroughly diomelin by him. Almost every day he came to Kosan and kept asking me about my script.
Plus with Andy who sent me messages several times to catch up with him to graduate college. Showing off that he is slowly being given the trust by his father to take care of the family business. It feels like it is very easy to live if they are in their time line.
To be honest, I don't want to rush through college. I don't know, my shadow if I pass and go back to the village and stay away from him, it's excruciating. I admit, I've been very dependent on him.
He obeyed whatever I wanted but remained firm on what was intolerable. His attention never changed, his smile continued to be there to make me comfortable, and his embrace, ah, really?
That's what's making me grim tonight. Tomorrow is our graduation graduation and I who should be relieved and happy, actually being bad mood and very sensitive.
“So tomorrow its MUA that comes to your boarding house yes, dear. You don't have to go to the studio early in the morning with Nisa and the others. I've handled everything.”
The content of Hengky's message further made my feelings uncertain. I know very well, surely tomorrow after graduation, Abah and Mom will immediately rent a special car to bring my things and I will officially go home. Totally.
I don't want to go home. I want to be here.
My eyes met the wall clock that showed me at eleven o'clock in the evening. All right, I don't want my skin to become dull tomorrow and panda eyes to worsen my appearance. I'd better get some sleep tonight and leave tomorrow's business to the Universe.
Because as hard as I thought it would not be able to change the scenario God had prepared, right?
-----------------------------------------
The graduation ceremony took place quickly. At least that's what I get if I'm enjoying every second I go through. The more fun, the faster time will pass. The more stifling, then time seems to not want to move.
It wasn't just Abah and Mom that came. But also my two younger siblings, Uwak (Oldest uncle) from the Mother and his wife, the youngest Uncle or Mother's younger brother, Grandmother from Mother and two domestic assistants at home.
It's a lot, isn't it? Hahaha... Then how can I enjoy the photo process after graduation if my every move is observed by them?
Hengky approached me, he smiled gently as he said silently, “You are so beautiful, dear..”.
His hand that was about to stroke my head came to a halt as I automatically took a few steps back and immediately turned towards Abah and Mother's seat.
Hengky smiled again, he nodded slowly in understanding.
Thank goodness Alfian, Nisa and several other friends compactly invited me photos together. Sometimes I take pictures with Alfian, both with Nisa and then I give the code to Hengky so that he gets closer. We took pictures together very awkwardly.
Hengky remained as usual, he smiled as he turned to me and I was worried that Abah or Mother was watching us here.
“We split up here huh? Well.. I still want to be with you guys but my family has been making it to the studio!” Nisa's lips pursed.
Nisa's words were greeted by several other friends including Alfian who was about to leave. I turned towards Hengky, realizing that Papi and his Mommy were not here.he came alone without family. I know he doesn't like to be pitied, but how could I leave him here alone?
“Honey, I...”.
“No papa, Honey. That's your family waiting..” Hengky cut my sentence. He nodded in understanding.
“But you..” my sentence stopped. I did not find a sentence that fit to represent my heart at this moment.
“Happy graduation, My sisters!” Andy shouted loudly while running towards us.
He laughed crisply while embracing us, giving code to the photographer who had been hired by Hengky to take photos of the three of us.
“Assalamualaikum..” Mother's voice is heard from behind.
I turned around in panic. Hengky tilted her head slightly while looking at me, asking me to remain calm.
“Waalaikumsalam, Mom..” replied Hengky and Andy simultaneously.
“Masya Allah... These friends of Naya already on a meal? We want to eat out, you want to come?”
I looked at Mother not understanding, what is this? why suddenly?
“Ah, we..” Andy laughed stiffly, he was confused looking for words.
“If allowed, Mom..” Hengky replied casually while smiling.
Andy and I turned at the same time towards Hengky, who, in the face of pretending not to understand, kept smiling as if he had done nothing wrong.
“Good! All Abah wants to know you. We're going to the parking lot?” Abah was standing next to Mom with a smile.
Hengky nodded. He walks next to Abah followed by Andy scratching his head a sign he is confused.
Look, Hengky even casually chatted and laughed with Abah. It made the warmth infiltrate my heart. Unknowingly I smiled, my face flushed.
“You want to be here, Nay?”
Mom walked ahead of me. Made me realize immediately and immediately walked quickly to line my footsteps with Mom.
When I arrived at the parking lot, I saw Hengky and Andy who were greeting Uwak and my other brothers. But looking at the stares of my two brothers, Ali and Osman who were grinning, I already know, they must have teased me because of the presence of Hengky and Andy in our midst.
Uwak, Grandma and the other brothers took turns greeting me congratulating. Grandma even cried while hugging me. He kissed me repeatedly while thanking me for finishing my education well.
“OK, any suggestions we should eat where?” ask Abah.
“Pecel lele aja cheap ya, Bah! Cheap and lots of portions! Hahahaha.” Ali nudged my hand, she blinked her eyes.
Osman my youngest brother shook his head while pecak annoyed, “I will not want to join if the ends eat at pecel catfish yes, Bang!”
Grandma laughed, her gaze then led to Hengky, “You what is her name, Nak?”
Hengky bent his body while smiling, aligning with Grandma's height, “Hengky, Nek.”.
“Nak Hengky can show us which places to eat which is good?”
Hengky nodded quickly, he turned his head towards Andy, “Later to follow our car only, Grandma. Aren't you, Brother?”
Andy who from earlier smiled stiffly suddenly confused, “Eh, where? My car was in..”.
“My car in front of it, Abah. Later we wait at the front gate yes.” Hengky immediately cut off Andy's sentence. He nodded in understanding as Abah agreed with his words.
When Andy and Hengky walked away, uwak uti who from earlier fell silent pinching my arm, “You pinter also nyari girlfriend ya, Nay.”.
I glared in shock. The seductive laughter of the other brothers made me stiffer. When my gaze met with Abah, he looked at me sharply and then walked into the car.
Die me.
