Roller Coasters
Episode 20's
I'm ashamed ****!!!
Nightly
day at the kost. Oktia is still confused by Dayat's attitude. If he likes
someone, why doesn't he express his feelings. Rather than confused,
Oktia plugged her modem into her laptop and opened a search engine. Oktia read one of the articles on kompasiana.com. The article he read was about a girl who
I like a man. That man is a psychic. So, uh,
the man knew that the girl liked him without the girl
saying it. There are too many differences, including that religion makes men
it does not repay the love of the girl than later only makes
wound. Slowly but surely the man stayed away and in the end a few days
don't want to see the girl where they used to meet. The girl's father too
a psychic. So, the girl's father knew that the child was upset.
The father advised the child to solve the problem. Because only the
it is the girl who can solve her own problems. Because it's not been long
meet and the girl is confused how to meet the man, the father
he advised her to use telepathy. But the boy did not know how
how to use telepathy. Although his father was a psychic, the son was not
she has psychic abilities like her father. Then the child prayed
God wants to send a message to the man who turns out to be a
shady. The message was to get the man to be in an ordinary place
to talk about the girl's feelings. The next morning, the man was
in a place that the girl asked for. The girl was confused as to why
men can be in the place as the girl asks. The male
got a hunch because he's a psychic. So, the man filled
the girl's request to meet him. In the end they cannot unite
because there are too many gaps between them.
From the article that it
read. Oktia gets inspired. “Why don't I ask Dayat if he
likes someone but does not also express it via telepathy?” thinks
Octia.
Octia relaxes
his heart focused so that he could contact God. After feeling already
connected with the Almighty, Octia prayed. “Yaa Allah, please convey
on Dayat. Yat, why the hell don't you want to express your feelings?” Subsequent to
praying like that, Octia went to sleep.
The day has changed,
the sun has risen again. Morning on campus, when the lecturer has not yet arrived. However,
all my friends gathered. If the teacher has not arrived, usually
friends will tell each other. That morning, Dayat sat next to Widi.
Maybe they told me something. Suddenly Oktia heard Dayat's voice
most clearly, he could hear that time among the other voices.
“Gue shy *****!!!”
dayat's screams might be on Widi.
“Alhamdulillah.” The word Octia in
hearts. “It turns out that God has delivered my message. My question has been answered
with I heard the sentence ‘Gue shy ****!!’. Dayat was a person who
shy to express her feelings.” says Oktia in heart.
Friday is the last day
the Middle Examination Semester of Educational Management. Octia is not finished
working it. That morning, there was a lecture. Dayat takes Oktia to
library to work on the Mid-Semester Exam which happens to be take home, together.
“Octs, time
playing MP in the perbus. After Friday.” invite Dayat.
“Yes, out of college
I went straight to perpus.”
After college
finished, Octia headed for the perpus with Risma. In the library, Oktia works
UTS, while Risma read the novel because Risma was done working on it
UTS and still reluctant to go home. Suddenly Dayat came.
“Loh, he said to
finish friday?” ask Octia.
“Mumpung no time.” says Dayat.
Time shows
at 11:00 where the library will be temporarily closed due to Friday prayers
it opened again at 13:30. During this time, Oktia returns home
the hostel is accompanied by Risma. At the boarding house, Oktia used her time to work
his job as a boarding boy is all about getting ready to go home. Clocks
it's showing at 13:00. HP Octia reads. There is an SMS from Dayat.
“Okti, it's arrived
perpus?” SMS Dayat.
“Not yet, still
preparation to it.” reply Octia.
“Way has SMS come
immediately to the Ris.” perpus take Oktia to Risma.
“Just said
want to find inspiration Ti?” risma asked Octia on the way
library.
“Iya Ris.” says
Octia. “Actually that's her mode Dayat aja.” Inner Octia.
Upon arrival Octia
library, library door still closed. Many people are waiting for the door
the library is open on the library terrace. Including Dayat. He's sitting on the porch
the north with Hadi. After the library opened, Oktia went straight in and
go up to the second floor in the collection room. There, he continued working
The unfinished UTS. Dayat. He sat to the right of Octia, at the
on the left side of Octia is Risma reading a novel. Time goes on, until
it was time for Risma to go home. Oktia and Dayat are still working on their UTS.
“You'll be home
what time?” ask Dayat.
“If it's done
I was just coming home. When I get home, I'm tired and lazy
resume UTS again.”
“Later if not
finished and perpus has been closed further on the terrace perpus aja.”
Time keeps going
until the time came for the clock to show at 16:45. The library officer took
the book in front of Oktia and Dayat in relation to the library will be closed.
“The book is no longer
used?” ask the library staff.
“Ngak. Later
how long does it close at Mbak?” ask Dayat.
“Jam 17.00.” reply
library officer.
“Judah, we
get ready to go down aja yuh Ti.” take Dayat on Octia.
Arriving on the terrace
“We know it in
here Yat?” ask Octia who is not sure they will be working on UTS on the terrace
library.
“On rectorate only
yuh.”
On the way
towards the rector, they chatted.
“You are not afraid
home kemaleman?”
“Ngak.
The journey is only an hour. At high school I often go home at night
there les.”
“Your house
Which side is the klaten? If Delanggu?” area
“Kok you know
Delanggu's? Delanggu is the area where Mbahku lives.”
“Soal every month
I went to East Java. If you go to East Java, you will pass through Klaten.”
“You know home
is Islam Klaten sick? Still continue north.”
Arriving at
rectorate. They work on the edge of the rector's porch. Looks like officer
cleanliness is on duty. The place where they work on UTS will be
cleaned up. They moved places. After being rather comfortable in a new place. Shredd-track-track. Raining down.
The place where Octia was sitting was exposed to rainwater.
“I ketampon rainwater Yat. Move yuh.”
“Moving on terrace
how is it?”
“Come. What matters is not ketampon.”
They stood up then
looking for a new place again. Dayat saw Gita sitting on the wall
terrace library.
“That there's a Gita to
there aja yuh.” invite Dayat. Oktia followed Dayat's steps.
“Hey Git.” say
Dayats.
“Hey, you're from
where?” ask Gita.
“From there
join UTS.” replied Dayat.
“Sama who is
Yat?”
“Same Okti.”
“Ciee.
there's Anti and Ato again playing UTS too.”
“Kok not invited
yoke-all. Who are you here with?”
“Sama Mas Dimas.”
Azan magrib.
Dayat goes first to pray magrib at the campus mosque. Oktia has also
finish working on UTS and send it by e-mail away.
“I go home first huh
Git.” says Octia.
The day changed, already
monday again. Time for college. The morning lecture it seems the lecturer did not
can give a lecture.
“You were yesterday
maintain UTS until what time Ti?” ask Risma to Octia.
“Until magrib.”
answer Oktia.
“Same to her?” ask
Risma while pointing at Dayat with a shocked facial expression.
“Iya.” reply Octia.
Oktia is still struggling with the material that will
presented it. He gathered with his group to discuss
material to be presented.
“You asked Dayat aja Ti. He will later explain
own.” Okti's suggestion which happens to be Oktia discussion group is having problems
in finding the origin of the formula. With a little force Oktia asked
Dayats.
“Yat this formula from where the hell?” ask
Oktia who sits to the left of Dayat. Suddenly, close friends of Dayat
thauntle.
“Uhuk-uhuk ahem-ehem.” Nudi and Nug voices.
“Woy! Woy! Woy! Ssttt....” prevent Dayat on
his friends.
A short time later, Oktia returned to
discussion groups. While Dayat chatted with Hadi I don't know what they were
speak of.
“I know's
what you mean.” Hadi said in the talk.
Time is still going. There comes a time
college of Mathematics Physics. Oktia sat behind Damar. Dayat sat in front
one line with Damar. They discussed the problems given by the lecturer. Daydates
is teaching Damar who has not finished working on the problem. In no way
directly, if Damar in front of Octia means Dayat taught Damar in front
Octia.
“Asem” “Asem” says close friends Dayat
unpretently.
Once upon a time waiting for a class to go to Electric
Magnetized. Oktia sat on the front porch of the class, then Dayat sat on the side
left Octia one seat distance. Damar then approached them. Distance one
meter, Damar was standing in front of them. He spoke a thousand languages, then moved
to another place. Wulan came, sitting between Octia and Dayat.
“Wul, I drop off the bag
huh uh? I want to go to the bathroom for a while.” Oktia told Wulan.
“You just showed
if you like me after I'm close to Damar. Where are you going Yat?”
inner Oktia while walking towards the bathroom. After completing his business to
the bathroom, he returned to the front porch of the classroom. Oktia found Dayat confiding
with Wulan. The curse was stopped after Octia stood in front of Dayat.
“...Dammar. Cause to wander
frequent to kajur together.” said Dayat. A sentence Oktia can catch.
“Droom? What happened to Damar? But
I think he already knows my closeness to Damar.” Inner Octia.
