10. What a Weird Dream


            Exams


closed with the course of Analog Electronics. Before the exam began Oktia chatted for a while with her friends. Wulans


come, then prepare the stationery and other equipment used


for testing.


            “Ha?!? My calculator


missed at the kost. Not take it, right? If not take the time already mepet.” said Wulan.


            Time-related


it's been done to do it


in the exam, Wulan decides to borrow an Octia calculator or a Damar calculator


wulan sits between Octia and Damar.


            “I'm still inget


you said Ti, when I forgot I didn't have a calculator. The calculator


it is not used, directly inserted into the bag again.” said Damar on Oktia.


            “Iya Mar?” word


Oktia responded to Damar's words. “Ha? Kok Damar still remembers my message


anyhow? I've forgotten that I once said it was like the inner Damar.”


Octia.


            Exams are ongoing


pretty stressful. Before the exam begins, the lecturer arranges a seat


they are not cheating in the exam. Octia, Damar, and Wulan share calculators. If Octia is already


finished calculating and time to write the formula, the calculator is used Wulan.


So did Damar. When the Damar calculator was idle, the Damar calculator was used by Wulan.


            After the test,


Oktia, Risma, Ana, Okti to Rina's boarding house to copy the film, while waiting for the time of noble. Incidentally, they were classmate


will eat at one of the places to eat in Jogja.


            Before going home


eating their intended meals, they gathered on campus while waiting for each other.


After arriving at the restaurant, they parked their motorbike. Dining house


what they came to was located on the edge of the rice field. Maybe for the city to see


the green will be happy. But not for Oktia. Oktia House near


with rice fields, when returning home must have seen the green pepadian


planted farmer.


            Meal time has been


arriving. They eat together. After the dinner was over, they


phototaped. They took pictures together. The place where Oktia will take pictures is quite


narrow and almost into the rice field area, Dayat is next to Octia sitting in


gazebo. Oktia asks Dayat to shift a little to give her a spot


to come sit on the edge of the gazebo “Swipe dong Yat!”. Dayat even patted


her thigh while saying “Sini you know!” hinting Octia to sit down


her lap.


            “Ngak.” says Octia


shaking his head. “I'm sitting on the lap of a man who hasn't


halal for me?” inner Octia.


            When Puput comes along


take pictures and sit in action


the edge of the gazebo, accidentally Puput nudged Dayat's leg.


            “Wah, mode! Mode!”


the word Dayat on Puput.


             “Lho, if the same I was told to sit down,


but pas Puput nyenggol his legs even calculated mode. Weird.” Inner Octia.


Day


three lectures after a month of vacation. Oktia put her foot out


towards the classroom that will be used for the first hour of lectures. Apparently in


the class had many friends coming. Understand, lecturers who teach the eyes


come late. Suddenly, Octia is surprised by Dayat's greeting


I haven't been to college for two days.


            “Okti, arent to


perpus yuh!” dayat said as Oktia walked past the sitting Damar


at the forefront of college.


“Eh, Yes.” reply


Octia. Oktia was a little surprised to see Dayat who had just entered college directly


he took her to the library after two days when she did not attend college


fevers.


After college


finished, Oktia, Risma, and Okti to the perpus to study with Dayat. Daydates


come bring the Physics Mathematics book they will study.


“You're healed


Yat?” ask Octia on Dayat who has just recovered from a fever.


“It's been.” he replied


curt.


“Until Jogjanya


when?”


“Tuesday morning I


departing from home.”


After wondering


then they started discussing the material they were going to learn. Times


this, Dayat discusses a chapter in which the chapter has already been Dayat and Octia


learn while studying with Anti and Zizah. But it stopped because of them


not continuing to study together anymore. Octia was somewhat astonished by the matter


it does not start from the introduction but directly continues the material


they studied at the beginning of the third semester. So, in learning


together this time only Oktia and Dayat know the flow of material that they are


learn it.


“So, all this time


there is no such thing as studying together anymore. And Dayat continues the material


we've discussed it before. Wow kok so


very sweet indeed. Anti and Zizah are no longer invited. Daydates


continue the material he taught in the past. That means he's


privileging me. But, how can it? Weird.” thought Octia that time after


Oktia knew Dayat was continuing the material they had discussed before.


After the perpus,


Oktia is still inexhaustible with Dayat's attitude. Oktia is not so


caring about Dayat's attitude that seems privileged. Oktia is afraid that


it's just his feeling. The night has come, the cold of the night and the warm


the blanket invites Oktia to go to sleep. In sleep Octia dreaming


being in a white room there was nothing, a name could be heard.


“Dayat”. Oktia woke up from her sleep. Oktia doesn't remember what dreams are


just when Octia fell asleep. Only one she remembers right before Octia awakens from her sleep, Oktia hears


the name then woke up.


“Corpse? Thats


name Dayat? The person I know and have that name is just Dayat. Why


heard Dayat's name in my dream? How could it be? Why Dayat? Persons


what I never thought before in my brain and heart except in the moment


he gave me that advice sometimes I forget his advice, all of a sudden


his name just echoed in my dreams. The name is so clearly heard


‘Dayat’. What am I gonna get?” inner Octia


I wonder after having such a dream.
