Dust Granules


            Day


Monday started. Oktia's mood is no longer upset. Oktia can already


let go. The lecture went on as usual. The College of Mathematical Physics will


starting soon. Oktia walks with Ana to class. Footstep


stopped when in front of the classroom door. Damar sat in front like


ordinary. But, Octia also wanted to sit in front. Lecture at 13.00 prone to sleepiness


and in the end not focusing made him want to sit in front.


            “Wah, there's Damar.


How's this? Sit in front of me. Can be removed. Coincidentally


there are two empty seats that are some distance away from the Damar that can be used


for me and Ana.” thought Oktia.


Oktia sat down on the front bench together


Ana. Before the lecturers came, they studied the material to be used for


lecture. Oktia was sitting to the left of Damar, but it was a bit distant


far-off. Later, Damar starts a conversation with Oktia. He asked for material


which will be taught. At first, they were far apart. However, Damar


shift the seats so that their distance is not too far away. In the time that


damar doesn't seem to be angry anymore. He wants to talk and joke


with Octia.


            After college


done, they walk out. On the way out of the building, Oktia


caught something weird. Damar looked at her with a look in his eyes


pretty long.


            “Tuh right? During


this, Damar it does seem there is something the same I.” Inner Octia when


Damar.


            By magrib,


Oktia was breaking down her tired body. Suddenly an SMS came in. From Damar.


“After almost two weeks of marahan and diem-dieman, finally he wants SMS also.”


inner Octia. Although Damar SMS about the material that he did not understand when


college this afternoon. But, at least it shows that Damar is no longer angry


and silence Octia.


            Wednesday afternoon when


the lecture will begin, Oktia and Risma chat in class with Damar while


waiting for the teacher to come. Then Damar took out his HP to set the MP3


through HP.


            “Mar, borrow your HP


dongs. I want to see what songs are on your HP.” pinta Risma on


Dammar.


            “This.” says Damar


while giving up his HP. “For me it's mostly Japanese songs kok.”


            Then Risma started


open any song file that Damar has. Oktia who was also curious came along


see what songs Damar has.


            “Dust Belt? At


MP3 you have a song Dust Granules Mar?” risma asked as if she could not believe one


Damar can have a Dust Granules song in his HP. A song that describes


the fear of someone who betrayed his love.


            “Means this Damar


it was really upset when he liked it


status that contains lyrics of the song Dust Granules. To the extent that he downloaded and stored it in the inner HP.”


Octia.


            The lecturer has not yet arrived. Octia


hearing this Love Song Kills Me. Oktia looked at the source of the song's sound.


The song was written by HP Dayat.


A bright Thursday morning, making Octia


I want to wear purple batik. After dressing up, he went to


campus. The class door has not been opened by the officer. Damar arrived in front of the class


with other friends. Damar also wore purple batik. Purple batik


with the same motive as Octia's. More precisely they wear


batik uniform class. Today, they're couple.


            The class door is already


opened. Oktia went in first and put down her bag. Damar walked in the back


Oktia, then put her bag on the chair next to the chair


Oktia wear to put bag. The school hours are up. However, the


the teacher has not arrived. It seems that this morning the teacher could not come to give


lecture material. So, Mareka held a presentation with a presenter from


the group yesterday whose presentation was not yet finished.


            Classroom atmosphere


a little bit of a fuss despite the presentation. The material presented is somewhat


difficult to digest especially the friends in the back even talk alone.


Oktia is not focused on listening to the presentation. In the end, Octia and Damar


talk both. There's a lot they talk about.


            “This is if


hands hit by the sreples, blood will


out a lot.” said Damar while Risma was sitting on the right side of Octia


trying to get into their conversation. Then they continued


chatter of those who had piled because of Risma joined nimbrung. “This


you know, the blood will come out until it spurts if it is exposed to sreples.” said Damar


again while showing the streples on


Rism. It seems like Damar doesn't want to be disturbed. Until, during Risma


starting to get into the conversation, Damar scares Risma by


get into the talk of Damar and Oktia.


            “Eh, you guys today couple-an, sit next to each other again.”


rina said to Damar and Oktia who happened to be Rina's presentation.


Oktia simply responded to Lina's words with a smile. Damar is reading


books.


            Presentation is still


walk. Oktia pays attention to the presentation again and reads the material


being presented. Dayat also sits in the front row on the left


Hadi, to the right of Hadi there is Damar, to the right of Damar there is Octia. Daydates


singing a song Love It's killing me.


You're making me a mess


You're making me feel bad


You're making me helpless


You refused me to ignore me


How to how to


Break down the hardness of your heart


I realized I wasn't perfect


I'm not who you want me to be


You ruined me with your attitude


Don't realize you've hurt me


This tired heart convinces you


This love is killing me


Lecture clock


first it's over. They're one class heading to the next building to attend


next lecture. They gathered in front of the class as classes were still


used by other students.


            “You make me messy, you make me


no problem, you made me helpless, you refused me to ignore me, how


the way to break down your hard heart, I realize I'm not perfect I'm not


like you wanted you to destroy me with your attitude, don't you realize


hurt me, tired this heart reassures you, this love kills me. ” sing


Dayats. Maybe he's actually venting.


            “You why Kin?


Your eyes seem to speak?” ask Ndari on Kinan. When they gather.


            The octia


waiting for the class to empty accidentally hear the song being sung


Dayat since the first hour of college now he sang again in front of Kinan. Kinant


even those who heard Dayat sing the song hinted at something else.


Oktia began to wonder why Dayat could sing the song.


            Classes


having been vacated by another class student, Octia enters the class. Lecturer


usually arriving on time seems a bit late. Oktia is getting bored


with the atmosphere of the class choose to exit the class to look for fresh air.


Dayat and Kinan were both sitting in front of the class. Maybe Dayat is confiding


with Kinan. Oktia undoes her intention to go outside the classroom from


bothers them.


            Night at the kost.


Oktia wakes up in the middle of the night with the laptop still on, modem


still stuck in his place. Laptop battery is still fifty percent. With


the state of the modem is still stuck, Oktia online open her facebook. On the facebook homepage he saw Dayat making


status.


“SEBEL VIEW STATUS OF PEOPLE ON GALAU. NJELEHI!”


Oktia started to wonder. Looks like Dayat


it's really upset. He never saw Dayat make a status


like those. Dayat is not the type of person who reveals his excitement through


social networking.


“Is the turmoil of Dayat caused because


yesterday I was wearing a uniform with Damar. Then sit next to and


we chatted together without allowing anyone else to enter our conversation.


What Dayat sings is like that song to me. My heart is shaking


when he sings ‘how


to break down your hard heart, I realize I'm not perfect, I'm not like


what you want.’ Yep. I feel like when he says you, it's you


i.” Inner Oktia began to wonder.


Next morning. Dayat arrived at the class. Him


singing a song. Songs used to release anxiety. Song


the rock genre. However, Oktia is not


know that song. It seems like last night Dayat was quite depressed and upset. Still


seen from his voice. Heart's sore. Especially the status he made last night.


“I'm afraid to Klaten alone!” the word Dayat


his friends.


Hearing that sentence Octia immediately turned to


sound source. Dayat was chatting with Nudi, Bowo, and Nugraha. Talk over


something Octia doesn't know.


Maybe about Dayat's anxiety.


“I


afraid of Klaten alone? Nugraha is also a Klaten. Why not ask


ditemenin Nug if he's afraid to go to Klaten alone? What happened to Klaten?


Why should Klaten? Klaten is my place? Why Dayat calls place


my stay? Bizarrely. What's the trouble because of me? But what about me?


Why me?” inner Octia wondered. Don't understand what


they mean.
