Plan Five

Two weeks into Ramadan, UAS is over. Students stay waiting for the value to come out while solemnly undergoing fasting worship later. The city of Malang was once again deserted at a time like this. Perhaps only a handful of interested students remain, including Candra.

The man with high diligence finally caught up with his best friend, Bryan who graduated first. There are only a few revisions to make his name longer with the frills of a bachelor's degree.

What care? The most important thing is that his ears do not have to be hot because the mother who almost every day asks the news of the thesis, not the news of his son. Also, Anara's voice always makes her anxious if she has asked about the thesis. Relieved for Candra's heart at last.

Kreeks ...

The sound of the gate open, seen Anara entering the courtyard of the house. Candra's car is not yet in the garage which is a sign that Anara's lover has not come home. An hour ago Candra told Anara if she went to the station to pick up Rati.

The door of the house that opens with the lights on indicates that there is someone inside. Anara turned her head inside. Bryan was sitting on the couch against the door, playing the guitar.

"Vidiii. Who's been dating for a month. Still a big angel." Anara's voice shocked Bryan.

"Ck, what the hell are you?"

"Kok stop playing his guitar? Let's sing again!" Anara Seru.

"Sepent ...." Hold Bryan. It looks like Bryan is fiddling with his phone.

"Search chord?" Anara asked who was greeted by a slow nod by Bryan.

Jreeeng ...

Bryan continued his quote on the guitar strings. Chant songs that Anara thinks are a picture of Bryan's heart that is blooming to reach for love.

Ah playboy finally fell in the arms of a Caroline.

"Kuberharaaaap eng-kaulaaah answer all my worries and let myselfuu love you to the end of my age ... ... ...."

"Geez romantic bangeet siiih. Pantes Caroline sponges."

"You know what ngledek is, An?"

"Both." Bryan frowning.

"Praise your singing talent, ngledek finally playboy met also the same master. Haha."

"Husses. Your laugh is lo! I want this magrib." Anara fell silent and held back a laugh.

"Candra's still picking up Rati." Bryan.

"I know."

Until the light of the sun changes the moonlight. Candra hasn't come yet. Anara started to sit. One glass of lemon tea concocted Bryan's hands already toilet from earlier. Some of the songs he sang with Bryan had bored him.

"A really long time, Yan?"

"Have a phone call!"

"I want to give her a surprise, come home and I'm here."

"Yes, that's it. Patience!"

"What is the story about you being the same as Caroline? Dooong story! You once said no clop."

"Ah long, An. I'll be sorry to remember that day."

But in the end, Bryan's lips tell the chronology of his birthday with Caroline. Anara read the story carefully. Bryan's story ends with Anara's laughter.

I've been wondering how he responded. Not concerned with happy laughter. Candra is not the same as Anara!

Anara's laughter came to a halt when there was a knock on the open door. A woman with shoulder-length hair wearing a black dress was standing in the doorway with an indecipherable expression. But, it seems that the woman is jealous.

"Eh Caroline! In and out! Please sit!" Anara invites Caroline. Bryan's lover came in and took a sitting position next to his man.

While Anara who caught the jealous aura immediately inched towards the kitchen. He let the two couples talk for a moment. His hands were busy making warm tea for the newly arrived guests.

Is he used to come here?

Heard his name mentioned. Anara quickened her hand to pour hot water into the cup. Because of the rush, some water spilled on his hand that was holding the cup so as not to shift.

"Nuch ...." Anara's voice startled Candra who had just arrived at the doorstep.

The man ran towards the source of the sound. Anara was holding her fingers that looked red. A moment later, Candra pulled Anara's hand and washed it with the sink water.

"Be careful next time!" Said Candra still holding her female fingers.

"It's still hot?" Connect Candra. Anara shakes.

"This is kusalepin."

"For whom?" Candra asked looking at the cup filled with half water.

"Caroline."

Candra's eye tail followed Anara's gaze which stopped on the two people in the living room. He did not turn his head when he heard Anara's voice. There were guests in his house.

"Let me!" Candra.

"Why is it so long?"

"Rati asked to stop by the roundabout of the monument. The photos." Anara nodded in understanding. Rati's behavior was exactly with him when he first came to Malang.

"What are you doing here? I said pick up Rati earlier." Ask Candra.

"You're meeting me." Rati's voice has been chimed in. Anara smiled.

"Kangeen, my goodness, it's getting pretty." Rati then hugged Anara and landed a kiss on her right and left cheek.

"You're also more beautiful."

"He's been a long time?"

"New. That's why I made you drink. I think I misunderstood me."

"Can't you?" Anara tells the chronology of events, from Caroline coming to the tragedy of her hand being splashed with hot water.

"Hmmm. Let's explain it to Bryan." Candra touched Anara's shoulder to give her some peace.

"Who is he, Ka?" Ask Rati.

"Bryan's girlfriend." Anara answered who was greeted by a nod by Rati.

Finally Rati brought tea for Caroline. The girl glanced towards the lovebirds who were silent at each other's arrival. He reached out to the figure said to be misunderstood by Anara earlier.

"Rati." Rati introduced herself.

"He's Candra's sister." Bryan's voice is owned by Caroline.

While Anara and Candra had just come out of the room, smearing the ointment on Anara's slightly blistered finger. The two joined the living room. Caroline's gaze still looked uncomfortable when her eyes met Anara's bead.

"Miland ..." Sapa Anara, Caroline just turned her head without saying anything.

"So I didn't overhear you saying my name. What's up?"

"He's jealous of you." Bryan's murmur.

Caroline looked at her boyfriend. A little glared but Bryan did not care. The man threw a glance in the other direction.

"You don't misunderstand me! We have nothing. I was just going to Bryan when you guys were. That's it."

"Tuh, it's been explained with Anara. Very jealous." Ketus Bryan's.

Yes, you are Bryan. Not that ngademin atmosphere even makes everything hot.

Caroline finally felt clumsy on her own. Staring at the lover who like not trying to seduce himself so as not to sulk more. Not very romantic.

"Udah, no. Just misunderstand me! We're out eating yuk!" Take Candra suddenly.

Tumben is so jealous of this one wise. Not to follow Caroline. Usually he is the most sensitive to Anara's business.

"Tumben wise." Bryan's Sulut.

"If not immediately removed. I'll be more laper." Candra.

After waiting for Rati to finish cleaning herself. The five of them headed for the Malang City Square. At a fast food restaurant they finally filled the stomach tonight.

"An ...." Call Candra.

"You don't want angsle, but you're still here?" Reciprocity. While Anara shook her head slowly.

"Angsle what the hell, Mas?" Sahut Rati's.

"Semacem compote, typical Malang. There's a petulanya." Caroline Sahut.

"You dong mas cobain. Is there any?"

"Not here either, Rat. But, in the area. Let's go out first."

"Ra-ti, Mum." Anara and Bryan laughed, while Caroline was confused.

"He doesn't like being called 'Rat'." Clearly Anara saw Caroline's expression.

"Mouse sieve." Keep Bryan. Rati rolled her eyes lazily.

The five of them arrived at Candra's house after accompanying Rati to taste the angsle in one of the taverns. It feels like the stomach is so full.

"Date 15, Rati wants to take the campus entrance exam ...." Candra.

"Well! So where's college going?" Cut Anara

"So in Jogja?" Keep Bryan. Rati nodded with a smile.

"Hopefully the test. Success." Anara said praying.

"I want to make you guys." Candra.

"Me?" Anara pointed to herself who was possessed by Candra.

"Where?"

"Nganter Rati to Jogja. The test is in Jogja."

"Seriously?" Anara asked in disbelief. Candra nodded again.

While Bryan and Rati both widened their eyes in disbelief with what Candra just said. Not that the man used to be the least able to discuss Jogja. Now he's taking his girlfriend there.

"Are you really, Ndra?" Highlights of Bryan's concern are certainly understood by Candra.

"Yes, Yan. I'm se-ri-us." The last word was distressed.

Is this a child really moving on?

"okay." Bryan's reply was brief.

"Where?" Ask Candra to Anara.

"You want to." Anara would obviously agree.

Rati was rejoiced hugging Anara, on the way later would not be bored if there was her sister's boyfriend. He can tell stories, ask questions, or talk a lot with his fellow people.

"We're going five, Mas!" Rati suddenly continued. All speechless.

"Where? Exciting right? Take a walk. Well, though I'd look most awful to know you guys are couples."

"Not really." Bryan's rejection left Caroline's face disappointed.

"Come on, Bryan! I rarely go to Java. Yes yes yes!"

"We're going, Yan. Never have we gone far during a courtship."

"Tuuuuh, be taught dating." Candra LEDek.

"Yes already. It's up to you." Bryan finally told Caroline.

"OKAY. Tomorrow let me take Anara for a ticket to the station."

"Through the application can be, Ndra." Keep Bryan.

"I want to go all the way." Reply Candra glanced at Anara.

"His sister here even wants to be left dating mulu." Bryan's murmur.

"Lu if envy yes go the same time as your girlfriend. It is not single. Like forgetting?"

"As a result of the late singles." Ledek Rati's.

"Jomblo yelling jomblooo." Bryan's murmur.

The five of them were swept away in laughter. A pair of eyes threw a glance at each other on the sidelines of a happy laugh.
