Ride in Bed

First Lecture

Elevator door opens. Adrian quickly stepped out. His feet ran through the rooms. Then his steps stopped in front of room 912. The man took a breath before squeezing the bell that was on the side of the door. Not long after the door opened.

“Ad..” Toni was surprised to see her eldest child standing in front of the door.

Without saying anything, Adrian immediately went into the room. His eyes looked around, then checked the bathroom. He didn't find anyone in this room. Toni who is confused by her son's behavior just follows from behind.

“What are you looking for?”

“Papa what are you doing here?” instead of answering, Adrian asked back.

“Not on any duty out of town? Is papa waiting for someone here? Who's pa?”

Adrian threw his body onto the sofa. Toni now understands what her son is looking for. Calmly the man sat himself on the side of the bed. He looked at the boy who was still waiting for his answer.

“Papa was forced to lie to your mama because of Adit.”

“Adit? What's wrong with him?”

“She's in trouble, so go home. Than he feels uncomfortable with the presence of papa, better papa who relented.”

Adrian was quite surprised to hear his father's words. The man looked at Toni without blinking. Selfish old man, that's what he had in mind about Toni. Instead of holding the child who is experiencing problems. The man chose to leave.

“Isn't it better if papa stays at home? Wouldn't it be better if papa asked Adit, what's the problem that's bothering him? He's your son, pa. Beyond his stubbornness, he still needs papa to embrace him. Can't you give up this time? Why is my dad always being selfish? Is papa aware that this kind of attitude of papa makes him worse? It was hard to embrace him, give him a shoulder to lean on when he was struggling. Is it that hard to do it?”

Just silence and silence that Toni showed when she heard the long speech of her son. The man instead took out a television remote, then turned on the flat screen in front of him. Adrian breathed a long breath. It was useless to talk to his father. He chose to just leave.

“I hope you reflect on what I said. Please don't add to my burden with papa's attitude like this.”

Adrian left Toni's room immediately. After Adrian died, Toni turned off the television. His mind glared, rethinking all of his attitude towards Aditya. He realized that he had been unfair to his youngest son. But every time he wanted to take a stand, approaching the child first, his prestige and selfishness reappeared. The man can only long.

The day the new students were waiting for finally arrived. The campus opened, and the lecture began. To replace the ospek event, the seniors in the FISIP faculty replaced it with something else. New students are prohibited from wearing bags or backpack when in college for a week. They can replace it with anything, as long as it is not in the form of a bag. Plastic bags, tote bags or scrapes, are not allowed.

With this policy, as a result the new students brainwashed. They look for anything that can be used to carry books and stationery. In droves these new students enter the campus using various tools in exchange for bags.

Dewi put books and stationery into the rice thermos that his mother used to sell. Mila put her stationery into a basket then carried it using the side or cloth like a herbal medicine mbok. Sheila carried books and stationery in the bucket. Sandra was carrying it with a shopping cart found in a mini or super market.

Meanwhile Micky, forming an instant noodle dus like a cangcimen pedal. Not to forget he gave the rope on the right and left side so that it could be hung on his shoulder. While Bobi uses his father's bird cage, to be used as a backpack. And put the book and stationery into the sack. Take him like a wrecker.

“Buset really fits lo, Bud. Hahaha.” Bobi's stomach moves downhill as the young man laughs.

“Udah fits emang. Stay clothes only you change, the face is also already supporting,” continued Micky.

“Sue lo on. Elo, Bob, don't pity what the other one is. Eat noh bird cage lo. Udah big body, tuh cage is also the same gedenya.”

“Bodo. Sono back to class lo.”

Bobi kicked Budi's ass, fortunately the young man immediately twitched. If it cannot be ascertained Budi will immediately nyungsep. Bobi and Micky soon meet the women who are nongrong near the stairs. Bobi immediately approached Mila whose style was exactly like a herbalist.

“Suitable lo, Mil. Why don't you guys use the side.”

“Tar lo has a crush of berabe,” replied Mila sekhenya who immediately got a toyoran from Bobi.

“Wi.. tuh the contents of yellow rice what is book?” chirps Micky who saw the Goddess carrying a rice thermos.

“Kaga need to snack a lot. Log into class.”

Goddess, Sheila and Micky are indeed in one class. They are in class B. Bobi is in class F, and Mila is in class D. Communication department has six classes. More than any other department in the same faculty.

“What's the first lecture?” ask Micky.

“Introduction to Political Science,” Sheila replied.

“Who is the lecturer?”

“Ngga know, not yet acquaintance,” replied Goddess of origin.

“Woi.. log in woi.” exclamation Micky.

The Goddess, Sheila and Micky immediately rushed towards the third floor, the place where their class was located. Some tables are filled, they occupy a table that is still empty. Before long a fifty-year-old man with a thick mustache entered the room.

“Buset, lecturer mas Adam mba Inul,” Sheila whispered in the ears of the Goddess while giggling.

The first lesson begins. The lecturer recorded several books that can be used as references for this course. He also explained the assessment system that will be applied later. Next, he began his lesson. Micky blinked his eyes a few times. I don't know why Mr. Bondan's voice is like the singing of Nina Bobo's song that makes his eyes heavy.

The Introduction to Political Science lesson is finally over. Micky yawned wide while moving his body to the right and left. The man then sprawled his head onto the table with his hands as a pillow.

“Wake up, oii. nih classes to dipake,” Sheila shook Micky's body.

“Before.”.

“Noh already on dateng. Kuy lah we to the canteen,” invite Dewi.

I don't want Micky lifting his body. She lazily attached her handbag to her shoulder and then dropped out of class. The next class schedule is still an hour away. They just wait in the cafeteria.

“Abis what lesson?” ask Micky who's laying his head on the table.

“Introduction to Communication Science.”

“Weh, Rian sir yes,” Micky said.

Sheila just nodded her head. The goddess turned her eyes the other way. Hearing Adrian's name alone has made his heart beat. The girl chose to drown herself with her cell phone.

“Wi.. come,” invite Sheila. It's time they went to class.

The goddess took a deep breath before following Sheila's steps. This time the class is on the fifth floor. The three waited in front of the elevator, waiting for the iron box to take them. Shortly after, the elevator doors opened. All three get into it. Just as the elevator door was about to close, a hand held it.

“Pak..” call Micky as soon as you see Adrian holding the elevator. The man just nodded his head.

The goddess didn't want to look at Adrian. The girl just looked down at him. Sheila just silently listened to Micky who was talking to Adrian. The elevator stopped on the fifth floor. Adrian came out first, followed by others. They enter the class that Adrian entered first.

“Good morning by noon,” greet Adrian.

“Morning to noon, sir,” answer the others.

“Ok.. before starting college, I will explain the assessment criteria. For assessment will be divided into four items.”

Adrian takes the marker, then writes down what items are included in his assessment. Quiz 25%, Task 15%, UTS 25% and UAS 35%. After writing these four things, Adrian turned his body to face the students and students.

“The assessment for this course is based on these four things. For me being absent is not very important. What matters is that you all take the quiz. Quiz held the first 10 minutes. The delay time tolerance is 15 minutes. From that, don't go in.”

There was a sound among the students. They talked about quiz rules. Quizzes only take 10 minutes, if they are 15 minutes late, can still enter the class but not take the quiz. Then still their presence will not be considered because it has no quiz value.

“There are questions?” ask Adrian.

“Pak, it's a mandatory quiz there huh?” ask one of the students.

“Iya.”

“If fifteen minutes late, can still enter?”

“Bby.”

“But we won't get the quiz value huh?”

“Iya.”

Some students scratched their heads. But they are lucky because PIK courses are not at the beginning of college. It means they won't be late for class. The cracks between them came to a halt when Adrian began his studies. He wrote several book titles that can be used for this course. They are released to use any book, Adrian does not limit it.

“What do you know about communication?”

Adrian opens the lecture. Some of them raised their hands trying to answer with their respective versions. Adrian walks around the class, coming to the student who answers his question. Then he stopped right in front of the Goddess's table.

“What is meant by communication?” Adrian asked the Goddess.

“Message delivery process,” replied Dewi without staring at Adrian.

"Basically you already know what is meant by communication. Now we will discuss communication according to experts."

The man then returned to his desk. He started his lesson today. Some recorded what he said, some just listened.

"For this task. Write down five meanings of communication from various experts, then make a conclusion. Collected next week."

"Good, sir."

“Dit.”

Roxas approached Aditya who was sitting unwind in the basement of the Amarta hotel. A place where he and some of his friends often spend time resting. Roxas approached and sat down next to his best friend. He hadn't seen his best friend in a week.

“When to rent?” ask Roxas.

“Not yet.”

“Lo want ngehindarin Dewi huh?”

“Not ngehindarin, but he who is not comfortable if there is me.”

“Why so rich gini anyway? I swear, I miss talking to you again.”

“Hopefully there's time again. Now I just want to neutralize the heart first.it seems easy to change the love to friendship, but the original is very difficult, Xas. Honestly, I still love him. If I often meet him, later I can not move on from him.”

“Do not overdue. You are handsome, many have a crush on elo. One of them is Fay.”

Aditya just laughed a little when Roxas mentioned Fay's name. He knew long ago that the girl liked him. But for some reason, he couldn't return his feelings. The young man is more comfortable with friendship only.

“Lo itself how about Lita? Last week you walked together with him.”

“Beautiful start, sad end.”

“Loh how is it?”

Aditya's laughter did not stop hearing Roxas's story about the hejo incident. As the hejo runs out of gas, Yulita leaves her. The woman chose to return home by taxi online.

“Kaga don't laugh. Kan elo the doain.”

“Dih.. when do I doain. I'm just describing, if it was a romantic incident, hahaha.”.

“Romantis nutmeg lo peyang, there he left me.”

“Hahahaha... ajakin again.”.

“The driver anyway. But what's the reason? Yesterday will you watch, tomorrow what?”

“Ajakin watch Persib, hahahaha.”.

Both laughed out loud. Roxas could not imagine if Yulita was invited to watch Persib in the stadium. Somehow the reaction, which surely cameraman will continue to highlight the woman.

“Let's not go back to the contract, play. I'm lonely without elo. Oohh Aditt.”.

Roxas hugged his best friend's body tightly. With great difficulty Aditya broke free from Roxas' embrace. His shuddering body was hugged so tightly by the trunked creature. Roxas just looked at it.

“Rox.. Next Saturday we play at the university of Nusantara, the campus Dewi.”

“Seriously? In what order?”

“Inauguration. That's why next Saturday I work permit, the shift manager. So Thursday I work, same Friday Saturday holiday.”

“Yes, I'm the same. What's the song?”

“Replace with each other. Later in the afternoon we gather in the studio, how?”

“Boleh-beh.”

🌸🌸🌸

As promised to Roxas, after playing at the cafe, Aditya returned to his contract. To be honest, he missed his contract. Wanting to give time to the girl, Aditya is forced to leave the contract.

Aditya came out of the room when he heard a knock on the door. Roxas just got out of contract. I don't know where that guy went. Aditya quickly opens the door and turns out to be the Goddess in front of his contract.

“De.”

“Roxas is there?”

“Tadi out. It's rich to Aunt Amel's. Regular she likes nganter aunt Amel to market.”

“Emang Rox know her husband aunt Amel?”

“Serious there?”

“Iya.”

The curious Aditya immediately came out of the contract. The young man walked towards Aunt Amel's house. As expected, Roxas is indeed heading towards the contract of Amel. She looks for a place to see Roxas' reaction to meeting Amel's husband. The goddess also wanted to see the show.

“Tante.. tan.”

GECK

GECK

GECK

“Tante..”.

After waiting for a while, the door finally opened. Roxas was shocked to see a man opening the door. Not only Roxas, but the man was also shocked to see a young man knocking on his door.

“Who to look for?” ask the man.

“Search tan. te..”

“Eh Roxas.”

Roxas' words were immediately struck by Amel who suddenly appeared from behind the man. Roxas threw a smile at Amel. As his brain continued to think, who was the dashing man who was in the contract of the woman.

“Who Is It?” ask the man next to Amel.

“This Roxas, The. I've been telling you.”

“Oh Roxas.”

“Xas.. know this my husband, mas Tio.”

“Roxas.”

“Tio.”

The two men shake hands. Roxas scanned the appearance of the man in front of him. His body was tall and stocky, his face was also handsome. The mature brown skin makes the man look more macho.

“What's up, Xas?” ask Amel.

“Ngga.. kirain I want to go to market.”

“Oh.. Today until next week, I will be accompanied by my husband. Calm down.”

“Ok, tan. Om.. I go first.”

Roxas threw his sweet smile then returned to his contract. Aditya and the Goddess laughed. The young man approached his two best friends.

“Apaan lo ketawa-ketawa,” kesal Roxas.

“Gue said what, Xas. Aunt Amel is not a widow, ngeyel heh lo, hahaha,” Aditya seems very satisfied.

“Rese, lo.”

“Everything so people don't be pretentious iye. People who have a husband are called widows. Fortunately, her husband, Aunt Amel, was not horrified. If denger can be brushed lo, hahaha.”.

“Rese lo, on. Udah ah, I want to molest again.”

Roxas walked towards the contract. Better to put yourself back to sleep. Today the young man went to the night shift. From the cafe, of course, he will immediately work at the hotel. Unlike Aditya who is preparing to leave.

“I go first, De.”

The goddess nodded her head. His eyes continued to look at Aditya who was riding on his mount. For a moment the girl fell silent in place after Aditya passed by with his motorbike. Her relationship with Aditya has become strange lately. Aditya is withdrawing from her. So did he who tried to avoid the man.
