Episode 34



Wanine Ngajak Bala


Monday is the first day of the exam. Oktia's still sick. Depart


towards the land this time full of struggle. Octia is still dizzy after drinking


medicament. Riding a motorcycle on a crowded highway in a sleepy state


and dizziness side effects of the drug make it must be careful and rotate the gas


with a relatively small angle so that the motor being driven does not drive with


high speed. However, what power. Although careful, with time


limit is near zero Octia almost hit the motor that stopped in front of him


because the motor in front of him chose to stop when the traffic lights


top order lights up. Lucky Octia could dodge. Priiiittt.


Police lined the side of the road to constrict Octia. But Octia is still


put the motor forward without regard to the sound of the police whistle. After a few


kilometers from the incident, Oktia saw a man in a green vest


flutter his hands


hints that Octia braked the motor. But Oktia was too focused on seeing


the fathers told him to stop without seeing what was in front of him.


Suddenly a mother in gray clothes crossed the street.


Ttiiiinn...Octia reflex pushes the horn button and immediately steps on the pedal


brakes. At that instant Oktia was pictured between the hospital and the campus.


Oktia just hopes she can still go to college and take the exam. Lucky


the mothers were not hit by a motorbike which happened to be before Oktia stepped on the brake pedal


high speed.


            After passing through


the borders of the land of birth and the land of the region, the road that Oktia passes through is jammed. Octia can only be hardened


my motor is up to ten kilometers per second. Pollution, traffic jams, crushes,


windy made her cough relapse. Octia coughed in traffic jam


one kilo meter long. Too tired of coughing makes it a little


dizzy and made his motorbike look good and almost fell. Limply. That's how he felt when he got to the store. Drooling weakly,


octia has to learn. Lie down for a while and calm down.


            Half an hour before


exams start in Octia to campus. Oktia chose to bring a motor so that Octia did not


tired of walking to campus. After parking the motor, on the way to


octia Campus meets Risma.


            “Octi!” dial


Rism.


            “Eh, Risma. Ye


have you studied yet? I'm calm week even sick.”


            “Not yet uh. Weeks


calm down I'm sick too.”


The room used was air-conditioned. Chilly


once. Luckier. Oktia wears a jacket that she deliberately wears because when she


octia cough is most anti with the name cold air. Entering the exam room


it's like entering the north pole. Chilly. Bbbrrp. Dizziness and weakness. Yep. That is


the Oktia felt.


The unfilled bench is in front. Octia


sitting next to Risma. One line with Damar.


“Sini aja Ris is still empty.” advice Rina while


rise from the seat he sat beside Damar.


Risma swipe to the left. Means Octia is also sliding to


leftist.


            “Okti, you're pale


really why?” ask Gita immediately Oktia sat on the bench between one bench from


Dammar.


            “I'm sick Git.”


answer Octia briefly.


            “You have breakfast


not yet Ti?” ask Kinan to add.


            “Chooking Kin.”


            “What pain do you have Ti?”


asked Rina who approached beside Octia while patting her shoulder.


            “Cough just


Rin.”


            “Caput healed yes


Ti.” Kinan said.


            “Iya Kin. Thanks


yes.” answer Octia.


            “Sohib-sohibnya


How much attention do I have?” inner Octia that time.


            The exam supervisor hasn't


come by. Oktia chose to study for a while. Discuss the material to be tested


with Risma makes it have to sit a bit serong facing Risma which means


facing Damar too.


            “Damar..” call


Dayat who happened to be Dayat sat behind Damar. I don't know what they are


speak of. Oktia only knew when she discussed the lecture with


Risma, Dayat called Damar.


            The supervisor arrived at


exam room. Questions and answer sheets have been shared. Stay working. Coughing


Octia begin to recur after some time without relapse. Than to make a scene


Oktia chose to leave the room. Previously Oktia carried tissue and wind oil.


            “Bu, permission to go outside


briefly.” pinta Oktia on the exam supervisor while enduring the pain. In the time that


walk outside Octia past Nudi. It seemed like he was observing Oktia's footsteps.


Seen from the sharp look of his eyes. Oktia chose to hold her sight.


            Octia to the outside


room to the bathroom. Fortunately, the test room was next to each other


with the bathroom. Coughing in the bathroom is better than


coughing in the exam room.


            “I have to how


this one? My cough even relapsed during the exam. Where the room is cold again.


Hope you don't cough anymore.”


            Octia went into the room


testing again. While doing the test, Octia was still coughing and holding back


a sense of tightness to hold so that the cough does not become - so that in the end


just bothering other examinees. Exams over. Octia to the outdoors.


Damar is still in front of the examination room. Risma exits the exam room before Octia.


“Risma has dropped yes Mar?” ask Octia


Dammar.


“Today.” replied Damar.


“Ya I have come home aja deh.” said Oktia while


foot up. Unintentionally Oktia and Damar walk together.


Suddenly Damar turned around not so down to the first floor.


“It looks like he's avoiding me from walking


to the parking lot together.” think Oktia.


            Arriving at the boarding house,


Oktia broke down her still weak body. Nddreet.


HP Octia reads. Oktia got up from the bed. Looking for his HP that I don't know


before the fall he put where. It was on top of a small colored closet


chocolate in the corner.


            “Okti, want to


the perbus? Jam 2an yuh” fill SMS from Dayat.


            “Yes, insyaAllah.”


answer Octia briefly.


Finished with various affairs at the boarding house, Oktia


getting bored. The hostel friends are all gone too. Quiet boarding. Still


half an hour from the hour where Octia is going to the perpus. He arranged the books that


will be used to study in the pylons.


“Lifting early doesn't hurt.” thought


Octia. Octia is still traumatized by Dayat who sometimes does not come to the perpus


after he invites to the perpus choose to SMS it. “So to perpus


didn't he? I'm OTW”. Message sent. And reply “oh yes.I am still in kos”.


Oktia leaves for the perpus on foot because


the motorbike he had parked at the boarding house upon arrival Oktia from campus and quite lazy


to get it back out. Wearing a jacket and walking a long way,


Oktia hopes to be able to warm her body from the cold morning.


Arriving at the library Oktia choose a place away from the AC so that


his body was not exposed to the piercing cold AC air to the bone. Half


the clock is about Octia waiting. Dayat.


“Which other?”


“Neighborhood.”


“A long time?”


“Neither.”


the lecture will be tested tomorrow. Oktia's still hoarse voice made it


a little trouble speaking well.


“You got a cold huh?”


“Iya, quiet week I even hurt.”


There's something Oktia can't do. Octia


ask Dayat for help to work on it and teach Octia. Res


what he asked was difficult. And finally they gave up and chose


rework the problem that the difficulty level is lower. They were before


review basic formula materials.


Dayat experienced several small and repetitive mistakes. Looks like he


kinda groggy. Oktia who realized that actually wanted to laugh. However, Octia


hold Damar unsuspecting. Some time later Kinan, Rina, and Mita


come by.


“Ha? How come there are them?” inner Octia.


Then they moved from table to floor.


The coldness of the air and being on the floor made Oktia cold again. Before


learn to talk to warm up the atmosphere.


“Sunday quiet you why Yat?” ask Rina


on Dayat.


“I helped dad kayak in the movie.”.


“Kok no gosong?”


“Yes I've been burning for just a week. Background


white again. Today I saw Tita's smile on Rin.”


“You pray in your heart huh?”


Code language. That's the language they use


to talk about things that are confidential to Octia or even insinuating


Octia. Sometimes, only a little did Octia know the meaning of their conversation.


Dayat was working on the question Kinan asked. She can smoothly


working it.


“Kok if the same me sometimes he's a bit ****. But, uh,


if the same others pinternya back again huh?” inner Octia that time when


Dayat can do problems whose difficulty level is higher than the problem


Oktia asked smoothly.


Some time later Gita and Rahma came.


It seemed like they had been in the library but had just appeared


this time. Kinan, Rina, Mita, Gita, and Rahma are close friends of Dayat.


And they also know about Dayat's problems with people he likes except


Octia.


“Wah, who came these close friends of Dayat


all the. I'm alone. I'm grudug


balanes. Wanine ngajak. If fighting alone does not dare what?”


inner Octia.


Mita has a photo


copy of Hadi's notebook that contains answers to the problems in the


books. Oktia and Rina want to copy her.


However, because quite a lot they choose to copy only a few sheets. Photocopying in the library costs more than copy photos outside the library. They choose to copy them in the photocopy in front of the Kinan boarding house. Photocopying only Octia, Rina, Kinan, and Dayat. Until they


go to Kinan Cost. Gita and Rahma still live in the library.


Octia, Kinan, and Dayat descend the staircase


joint. Bbrakk. Suddenly books


the Oktia brought it down and finally scattered on the stairs of the perpus. Dayat


walk first look at Oktia's scattered book.


“Aided to Yat. Bring it so much!” word


Kinan on Dayat. Then Dayat helped pick up Oktia's scattered book


the perpus ladder.


“Still yes.” says Octia.


“Ya.”


The sky in the afternoon was covered in a gray cloud


pretty dark. Oktia, Rina, Mita, Kinan deliberating on the library terrace


talking about how to go to the Kinan boarding house in relation to the one that carries the motor is only Mita and


Dayats. Dayat read the newspaper on the front windshield of the library.


“Rina and Mita boncery. Same with Dayat. I


just walk.” said Kinan solved their problem.


“No papa Kin?” ask Octia.


“Ngak papa. I leave first yes.” reply


Kinant.


Rina and Mita left first. And Kinan


spread her legs. Dayat still reads the newspaper. Oktia's waiting.


“Where else?”


“Udah on the road.”


“Ya has departed yuh.”


            Octia and Dayat


walk towards the Dayat motor parked on the front page of the library.


            “You wait here


just.” said Dayat asked Oktia to wait in a rather spacious place because


the bike is a little difficult to get out.


Sneaky. Suddenly it rained


down's up. Oktia chose to return to the library terrace rather than have to be rained.


Dayat wears his coat. He insisted on leaving for the Kinan boarding house


although the rain drops are quite heavy.


“Rain-rain gini what should not wait


a reda? I don't want to get sick because of rain.” Inner Octia.


“Come!” take Dayat to Oktia by chance


still in the library terrace.


With a little running Octia approached Dayat.


Oktia started riding on her bike. Dayat moved his bag forward


Octia has a wider seating area. The rain was still heavy and growing.


“I nebeng your coat huh?” the word Octia


Dayats. At that time Oktia thought nothing but to save her


still sick from the rain drops.


“I don't want to get sick because of it


raining. Tomorrow there is still a test.” thought Oktia.


Dayat started to push his bike. Dayat drives


the bike is quite slow unlike the time Oktia delivered home after studying


together before the midterms. Arriving in front of Kinan's boarding house.


“Dayat...” call Rina on Dayat.


Octia who doesn't see the road feels the motor is already


stop over. Oktia came down while running a little towards the photo copy. It turned out that Rina and Mita had arrived since. Daydates


parked motor. Occasionally Octia sees the way to see if Kinan has


arrived or not.


“You'll be home with me. Stay


just keep going, right?” dayat's Advice on Octia.


“Iya.” replied Oktia agreed to her suggestion.


Before they go home they talk about something.


“Say the guy said the guy if he could


making girls cry.” said Rina.


“Means I'm a guy dong.” says Dayat.


“Means Dayat once made a girl cry dong.


Me included. If a girl has been said to be a girl if you can make a guy upset


no yeah? I have made Dayat galau.” Inner Oktia.


After they finish photocopying, they go home. Mita carries her bike, Kinan is still ahead


the hostel, Rina came home on foot because the hostel was close to Kinan's boarding house.


Oktia and Dayat go home together. Oktia was still waiting for him to take out


motor from the parking lot.


“Dayat, Okti where?” ask Kinan.


“Lha this.” replied Dayat while wiping the seat


his motorbike was wet with rain water.


“Oh.. no matter it's first.”


“Introduction yes Kin.” says Octia.


Dayat started to push his bike. Several tens


meters from the Kinan boarding house suddenly rained again.


“Wah if not wear a coat even rain.” complained


Dayats.


“Iya yes.” sahut Octia.


“This is a child, what was the prayer? Pas bonceng he


definitely rain down.” Inner Octia.


Arriving in front of the Oktia boarding house, it still rained


pretty torrential. Dayat stopped the bike.


“Still Yes Yat. Beware.” says Oktia on


Dayat then ran to the front door of the hostel so as not to get wet with water


rained.
