Ranums

WARDEN

Ratih, who could not bear to see his daughter, continued to be sad, asking Ranum to take a break from his job and ask the principal for permission for the next few days. According to that advice. Ranum finally asked permission from the school for a few days off and calmed down.

The cold city of Malang again became Ranum's goal to calm his heart and mind. He plans to stay for two to three days in Malang. The sweet girl also wanted to give Zaviyar time and hoped that soon the man would talk to her.

Ranum is still as he once was, though ignored but still giving news to Zaviyar. Sometimes his heart hurts when there is no reply. However, he also wanted the shady-looking man to know that his heart had not changed. Like this time, the sweet girl sent a message to the man in the hero city that she would go a few days to the city of Malang.

The planned day arrived. This time Ranum chose to go without his bike. He plans to use public transport to get him to the cold city.

Ranum said goodbye to Mrs Ratih that morning before she left for school. Although Ranum left a little afternoon. So he decided to leave first and Mrs Ratih understood that.

“You be careful, yes,” said Bu Ratih gently.

“Iya, Mom definitely.”

The hour hand was pointing at 07:30. Ranum was ready and the brother who was asked to take him to the stop was ready. He went to the bus stop and left for the city which is also called the city of Apple.

Arriving in Malang, Ranum immediately opened the online ojek application to accelerate his journey to the destination. Kampung Biru Arema became the sweet girl's first destination.

The calm and cool atmosphere makes Ranum comfortable in Kampung Biru Arema. Residents in the tourist village were also friendly, so Ranum was quite comfortable to be there. After being quite satisfied to go around in Kampung Biru Arema, the sharp-eyed girl decided to Kampung Tridi opposite Kampung Biru Arema.

Ranum roams every corner of Tridi Village and then crosses the glass bridge to Kampung Warna-Warni Jodipan. As he was about to get out, the phone in his pocket vibrated. He immediately reached out and saw the message received.

“Udah in Malang?”

A message from Arvin, who had previously exchanged news with Ranum.

"Yes, this is in Colour Village.”

“To my place?”.

“Insya Allah after this.”

The phone is put back in the pocket. Ranum continued his journey and came out of Kampung Warna Jodipan, along the Brantas Bridge that separates Kampung Biru Arema and two other tourist villages. The cute girl walked towards Trunojoyo Park in front of Malang City Station. Then he continued towards the Monument Square.

The sharp-eyed girl glanced at the watch in her hand. I don't feel like time is getting any more daylight. After enjoying the atmosphere along the road to Tugu Square. Ranum who had been sitting on a bench for a few minutes on the roadside again opened the online ojek application to take him to the Masjid Jami’ Malang.

Finished fulfilling his obligations, Ranum plans to Arvin's place. He opened his phone and informed Arvin and immediately ordered an online motorcycle taxi as before to take him to the destination.

Ranum entered a cafe that was not so crowded during the effective day as it is today. The seat he used to sit when he first came, again became his choice to sit in the cafe.

Arvin's out to see Ranum. Her eyes continued to pay attention to Ranum's appearance with a sweet smile on her lips. The girl who that day wore a blue top dongker shirt with matching veils and a small brooch of light blue eyes decorating her veil was like taking over the attention of the athletic man.

“How are you?” ask Arvin.

Ranum just shook his shoulders.

“Udah lunch?”

“But.”

Arvin offers food to Ranum. He asked someone to prepare the order. While waiting for the order to be ready, they both started the chat.

Ranum who was no longer able to hide his sadness, let out all the sadness in the heart with tears that increasingly flowed. He told me about the incident the other day from the beginning. None of them were missed by him. Arvin as usual heard the sharp-eyed girl's words carefully and.

"Please say you're like an ant, Num" Arvin said.

Ranum who heard the response of the man in front of him frowned.

"Yes, sweet ants. So, many like, many are fussing," replied Arvin casually with a smile.

There are tears. The sad Ranum became annoyed at Arvin who was still grinning. The food and drinks ordered by Ranum were presented in front of him. Arvin also asked the girl to eat first while listening to his speech. Until finally one sentence Arvin made Ranum stop eating it.

"Ribet the two guys, how am I? Straight away legitimate, deh. Don't pack their drama-drama kayaks. Zaviyar and Aldi let it go" joked Arvin.

Ranum just looked at Arvin with a frown. His gaze was so sharp, but without a word. Arvin chuckles at Ranum's reaction.

"Look easy, Num. Little joke, let's not get dizzy."

The food in front of Ranum was gone. Arvin continued his talk.

"Yes." Yeah."

"But now Zaviyar won't talk to you?"

Ranum nodded weakly and clear circles again filled the corner of his eyes.

"Let it go, you're both fucked. He just needs some time, God willing, after it's quiet Zaviyar will call you."

Arvin is still trying to give advice and encouragement to Ranum to return cheerful.

Arvin volunteered to accompany Ranum around the city of Malang, but the sweet girl refused. He prefers to take a walk on his own while contemplating everything.

"Yes, it's up to you. But, be careful and do not forget to tell me if you need or there is something" said Arvin.

"Yes, Boss. I'm like a mother, now,"

Finished moaning on Arvin, Ranum paid to see the boarding place that had been booked by phone earlier. The boarding place is not too far from Malang Town Square, one of the shopping centers in the cold city. Ranum walked into an alley that was only about two hundred meters away from the highway.

A house that is not too big with two floors with several rooms that are provided for boarding. The boarding house owner greeted Ranum kindly, then showed him the room that had been prepared for the sharp-eyed girl. The room is not too big, contains a small mattress and a closet that is also not large.

After the owner of the boarding house showed his room and said goodbye, Ranum immediately laid his body on the mattress for a moment to unwind.

***

The sun and moon give light to the earth. Ranum has also visited several places that have been included in the list. Don't want to leave Mrs Ratih home alone any longer. He intends to go home soon after three days in the cold city, Malang.

Ranum who from last night turned off his phone, did not know if there were messages and incoming calls. Without him knowing anyway, that in other cities the male figure is already quite agitated to think of his existence which has not sent the news as usual.

Arvin, who was in the cafe, felt strange to see one call coming in with an unknown number. Even so, the athletic man still received the new call.

"Hello!" arvin.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. Arvin?" The voice across the phone.

"Yes. This who?"

"Zaviyar."

Knowing who was contacting him, Arvin asked what needs to make Zaviyar call himself.

"I haven't been able to contact Ranum since last night, did he see you?" Zaviyar.

"He only met you once when he was first in Malang and he didn't call me anymore either. I think he needs some alone time."

"Yes, but it's not usually the phone dies like this."

"okkey. I'll try to figure it out, but by the way you know where my number is?"

Zaviyar also explained how he got the number Arvin. When Ranum went to Malang a few weeks ago and ran out of battery and used Arvin's phone to update him. It was then that Zaviyar kept the number of the tall man.

Arvin then saved the Zaviyar number after the phone was turned off. Hearing the news, Arvin's heart was also agitated. He tried to contact Ranum, but just as Zaviyar had said, he could not connect.

Many times Arvin tried to call Ranum's number and finally connected as well but there was no answer from the owner.

The sun is getting higher and there has been no news from Ranum until finally Arvin's phone rings. Seeing the name on the flat screen, Arvin immediately raised the call.

"Hello, Num. Where are you?" ask Arvin worried.

"Hello. Sorry, Mas. Does his brother have this phone?" A foreign voice was heard across the phone.

"Yes, who is this and where is Ranum, the owner of this phone?"

"Mbak Ranumnya is now in the hospital, Mas."
