SECRET Love High School
Far From Home
When High School was the first time I lived away from my parents, I was very sad at that time, in the first week almost every day I cried because I missed Mother. Once one night I ran to the Dimas boarding house with wet eyes, I cried in front of the Dimas boarding house with a sniffle. If I remember it I feel so ashamed.
At that time the father of the boarding house Dimas who first met me, he seemed confused why there was a girl looking for her boarding child while crying in the yard of his house. Fortunately the father of the boarding house Dimas was very good, he let me sit down and get a glass of water so that I feel calmer and sent one of the boarding children to call Dimas.
When Dimas came in with a worried face I saw him being followed by many of his hostesses, they peeked out from behind the door as if filled with curiosity, faintly I heard them call me his girlfriend Dimas. I don't know what stupidity I had done at that time, just because my mother's kangen cried at the Dimas boarding house and caused a misguided perception.
That night Dimas asked his host's permission to take me home. On the way home we stopped by to buy arbanat (cotton candy) in the city park. I know Dimas is trying to cheer me up. He told me that he was upset with Abah because he kept calling him so that his hostess laughed at him and told him about his son.
“The stomach of Abah telfon has been like a time to take medicine, until I was told by my mother's son and my hostess friends, even though I was Abah's grandson, who called me Abah instead of mama, besides if it's not your son, who am I?” he said with a face as if very upset, I know that expression was made up by him.
“Should the phone ask me have eaten or not, have taken a shower or not, already kangen what is not yet a beautiful girl like you are not even the Abah,” he continued to make me smile a little.
“Already, tomorrow we buy train tickets for Saturday we go home,”
“Appointment?” many make sure
“Originally you stop crying,” he leaned his body close to my ear then whispered “I'm afraid you're afraid to think you're crying for accountability,” he answered idly to make me upset.
“Enak only what kind of woman am I?” I get upset while folding my hands and keeping them in front of my chest
“Sort of angel,” replied Dimas teasing me.
He managed to make me laugh and hit his arm while long nagging. That day I realized that if Dimas was the best friend of my life, I was so lucky to have a friend like Dimas.

Arriving at the boarding house, I went straight into the room, there I found my host friends looking very worried, they immediately hugged me.
I hostel at Green House, one of the princess boarding houses that is famous among students because of the beautiful hostess residents. My roommates are Kak Ana and Kak Ajeng, they are one campus but different class. Kak Ana semester 3 while Kak Ajeng semester 7 is busy with thesis preparation.
That day I also realized that I was lucky to get a hostel friend as attentive as they were. If you recall that it felt like the day was not so bad, at least it was the beginning I opened myself up to start making friends and enjoying my teenage life.
Kak Ana is classified as a woman who is indifferent with appearance but she looks sweet with her mature brown skin. He likes the excitement of out door like mountain climbing, his male friends are very much, I know because every day that drove him home from college always alternating, but it seems like Kak Ana is classified as a voter, none of those men could take his heart. Said he was looking for an adult version of Dimas.
Unlike Kak Ana, Kak Ajeng has a girlfriend named Kak Joni, his house is close to the city park. Kak Ajeng often invite Me and Kak Ana to play at Kak Joni's house. It is said that they have been dating since Kak Ajeng first semester of college. Kak Joni is the senior of Kak Ajeng at the Faculty, he helped a lot with the task of ospek Kak Ajeng and be them close and then dating.
Kak Ajeng was originally from Surabaya but since the second grade SD lived in Batam because his parents were assigned to work there. Kak Ajeng is a person who is considerate and a good listener but sometimes also chatty. She's like a mother to me and sister Ana.
The three of us almost always ate dinner together, because our hostel only provided breakfast then we bought dinner at the stall. Sometimes we have dinner at Joni's house.
On the weekends if we don't go home, we will take a walk to the market to buy daily necessities. Sometimes we go swimming or go to the movies. We like to watch horror movies even though after that we can not sleep shadowed by ghosts in the movies we watch. Approximately three days we will accompany each other if anyone wants to go to the bathroom, understand our boarding bathroom is in the back apart from the building room so the scary impression is increasingly felt.
Sometimes Kak Ajeng likes to make face masks, then force me and Kak Ana to wear them. Kak Ajeng also often make me as an object of makeup training.
Kak Ana and I often help Kak Ajeng work on the script, we accompany him to survey and input data or just check the editorial thesis report that has been compiled by Kak Ajeng for assistance.
Sometimes Ajeng and I help Ana with her organizational work. Similarly, Kak Ajeng and Kak Ana also often help me in learning.
Our boarding lives do not always get along well, sometimes we argue, fight to stay away from each other but every problem we can solve with family.
Sometimes we also borrow money from each other when pocket money starts to thin, borrowing goods to share food.
We support each other but also remind each other when things go wrong. Especially Kak Ajeng who likes to advise me and Kak Ana.
That's the way a boarding boy lives, we're away from home and trying to be a family for each other. How are they doing now? Last met eleven years ago at the wedding of Kak Ana, Kak Ajeng and Kak Joni already had one beautiful daughter at that time.
I miss them, I can imagine the length of advice Kak Ajeng so that I could get married at the age of me who has the head of three.
