Mellows

"Where is Mas Djata from, anyway?" Sergeh Rati found his brother stuck.

"Wait for your sister-in-law to wear make-up show all." Sahut Candra ran into the building.

Huh huh? I think I just wear a different lipstick. Where's the make-up?

"I think Mas Djata likes to joke around." Rati scratched her non-itchy nape.

Rati and Anara hugged each other. Missing after so many months of not meeting. It turns out that next week Rati must be in Jogja for ospek campus.

He was officially accepted as a student at one of the state campuses in a special area. Apparently his struggle at that time was not in vain. And the 'sekampung' who drove him was certainly happy.

"So, after this go back to Balikpapan first? Or go straight to the jogja."

"Go to Jogja, Brother. There's no place yet." Anara nodded in understanding.

Right at half-time at 11 noon the graduates scattering out of the building. Including Candra over there. Shortly Abah Kayaat and Mama Ira followed his son who is now officially a scholar.

"Anyara!" Say hello to Mama Ira.

"Auntie." Respectfully Anara grabbed the hands of Candra's parents.

"Not a hiteman, huh?" Mama Ira watched her son's lover.

"Anara has been three weeks KKN in Batu, Ma. Be her a little exotic." Candra made Anara smile.

"That rock is a lot of tourists, isn't it?"

"Rubber, aunt."

"Well, can we eat after this, Bah? To the Stone perhaps. Not far away?" Connect Mama Ira.

"Half hours maybe, Ma."

"Yuk! Very wishy. Take a walk." Rati contributed the vote.

"Can." Abah Kayaat smiled in agreement with the idea of his wife.

"Mazandra! Congratulations yes. For you." Anara gives a bucket of flowers to her lover.

"Thank you." The man smiled and hugged Anara.

Eheeem .. The darkness of the mother forced Candra to take off her arms. He was so carried away. On the day of her graduation, her family and her lover gather to offer congratulations, prayers, and that makes Candra very ba-ha-gi-a.

"Rath!" A baritone voice suddenly called out to Rati.

"Mas Bryaaan's. Rat-ti!!"

"I'm a scholar, no congratulations?" Keep Bryan.

"Congratulations, Bryan." Anara congratulated.

"Congratulations Bryan. Success ... Where's Sister Caroline?"

"They've broken up, after Jogja nganter you." Answer Candra.

Rati closed her mouth in disbelief. In his opinion, Bryan and Caroline look harmonious. The one is high-bulean, the other is a beautiful typical oriental face.

"Who broke up?" A man with a sidebar suddenly was among them.

"Sir Wijaya!" Sapa Abah Kayaat's.

"Your son is also a graduation?"

"Yes, sir." Mama Ira replied.

"H-this?" The look of the man named Wijaya was towards Anara. Because of everything there. Only Anara was a stranger to him.

"Name Anara, Dad." Bryan introduced. Wijaya and Anara shake hands with each other.

"I'm Bryan's father." Wijaya introduced himself.

His name is Antoni Wijaya. A wealthy widower with only one child, Bryan. His company in Kalimantan is already a pinak. However, the success of his business is inversely proportional to the household heresy. He was left behind by his ex-wife because of his workaholic attitude.

"Bryan!" No familiar voice to Bryan.

"Caroline!" The man who had removed the toga was stunned to find the existence of the former.

"Congratulations to the graduation." A bucket of flowers was handed out to Caroline.

"Thank you, thank Lin. But, how do you know I graduated today?"

"Today I saw you GR. Do you remember I was a member of the university?"

"Oh yes. Pantee." Bryan massaged his forehead watching the uniform Caroline wore.

Then the oriental-faced woman bowed her head while reaching out to Vijaya and Abah Kayaat's family. Don't forget he congratulated his ex, Candra.

...----------------...

"Pak Wijaya is still in Jakarta?" Abah Kayaat opened the conversation when he had finished food on his plate.

"Still, Bah. Plan to open a culinary business there. Bryan's Idea. But ... moody's son." While looking at his son.

"From a moment, Om." Continuing Candra made Bryan glance at her.

"He even wanted to plunge into the world of journalism. Yes it is."

"Yes, he's still young. We'll just support it, sir." Mama Ira.

"If Djata. After graduation, what's the plan?"

"Annu ... Om, it's still in the mind."

"Huh worse you. Kayak. Still want you, An?" Bryan was endlessly chiming in on Candra this time. Anara just lowered her head, holding back a laugh.

"Where are you planning to work?" Caroline's voice asked.

The woman finally took part in this simple event after Rati and Anara forced her to join. Lunch as a form of gratitude as Candra and Bryan pass on time.

"In Java as well."

"In Surabaya, Lin. That's what he said." Keep Anara. Caroline nodded.

Then they were busy with their own plates. Candra who was sitting next to Anara kept playing her fingers over her thighs. Coincidentally the dining place they visited was in the form of a lesehan that showed the beauty of the mountain on each side.

"Your hand, Ndra." Lirih Anara's.

"After this?"

"Down your fingers!" Anara risih.

"Here?"

"Why don't you know that, too?" Anara's face looked upset. But the man next to her did not even seem to be doing anything wrong.

"I'm sorry to go to the toilet." Anara got up and walked away.

Uh, he's really angry.

"Yes!" Hello Caroline.

"Eh, Caroline! How's it going?"

Seeing Anara leave, the clumsy Caroline is in the middle of two families with her own as a foreigner initiative following Anara.

"good. Bryan?"

"I thought I'd moved on." Anara Ledek.

"Who is she?"

"No, Lin."

"Seriously?"

Anara nodded steadily. He was convinced that Bryan was not close to any woman after escaping from Caroline's trap.

"The woman he loved?"

"Who?"

"I asked you, An."

"Emang is?"

"He said it was. That's why I asked for the hope."

"I thought it was just a joke."

"What is Rati?" Telisik Caroline's. Anara shakes her shoulders.

"Lack of knowing too. But they look pretty."

"No, it must be Rati."

"Why not ask directly?"

"Shame dong, An."

"You still love?"

Caroline remained silent. How is he not in love? The man was handsome, funny, and gave many new colors. One more thing, Bryan could at least see women crying .. Until he stall Caroline's heart, but still the end of the lara that Caroline received.

"What a shame?"

"No. Who the hell can choose our taste anchored to which heart?"

The two rejoined after a long chat. Caroline really wants her ex-boyfriend to know that she still has a taste. However, his hope ended up sick to find Bryan was joking with Rati.

Patience Caroline! Be patient! He is now public property.

By WC macem only, public property.😄

...----------------...

"Yes, Abaaah." Candra Sahut.

"After coming here, stop by Klaten first."

Soon, the phone was cut off. The conversation between Abah Kayaat and his son was over.

"Did you get kos?" Anara asked beside him.

"Udah said abah."

A week after her family's departure, Rati was taken to Jogja. Candra is still busy in Malang. Managing the legalization of diplomas and have twice visited the job fair on campus. His desire to justify Anara who about a year away should he be balanced with concrete evidence.

This morning Candra is picking up a heart. KKN Anara is finally over. The car's luggage is open. Hartik was busy putting in some of his belongings.

"Udah done. Yuk!" Hartik approached his best friend.

"Corn!"

Candra's car is moving towards the highway. Leaving KKN post which in a month he often visited. Little proof of his sincerity to Anara.

Even though he did not have any work after yesterday the script had been neatly diluted.

"Go home? Or where you going first?" Question Candra's been macem the cab driver.

"Go home, Tik?"

"Yes, An. Capek banguen. I want to sleep."

"It's still this morning." Reply Anara.

Arriving at the boarding page. Candra immediately helped the two women move things out of the trunk. KKN is only a month but Anara and Hartik goods already look like people moving house. That's how you eve.

"I'm going straight home, huh?"

"Tumbent."

"You want to create a CV. The day after I applied for a job vacancy. Doain yes!"

"Yes, definitely kudoain. Where's?"

"Here you go." Anara nodded. Be thankful that it doesn't have to be far away.

Hope it is accepted! We don't need LDR.

"Be careful, Candra! Thanks to ya." Hartik.

"Yes, you're welcome." The man smiled.

After waving his hand. Candra's car came out of the yard and passed out of sight.

"No way, we'll soon be fighting to graduate." Hartik.

"Yes, Tik. It turned out that three years was a big deal." Anara looked overwhelmed.

"I have no plans after what?"

"Same, Tik."

The two were then busy moving things towards their respective rooms. Anara was busy reassembling her belongings which increasingly felt more attractive.

He looked at some images from photobox shots at the mall at the beginning of college first. Three years passed so quickly. Now he has finished KKN only.

It feels like he was still yesterday with a strange task from the committee. Today he had to start thinking about the title of the final task if he did not want to ngaret. Surely later, he will miss the moments of being a student. Miss Malang and its contents.

Slowly his memory returned to his first days in Malang. His introduction to the original woman Gresik who is now his best friend, which because Hartik he became know bonggolan. So know other languages when interacting with children one kos.

Suddenly Anara mellows. What if you have graduated and are busy with your world? Will everything still feel as close to pulse as it is today?

It will all be memories. Once lived under one roof, joking with those who were originally nobody. It was hard to imagine a farewell. Is Anara really ready? Ready or not, that time will come.
