THE BRONDONG SECRET

48. THE BRONDONG SECRET

HAPPY READING

Lovely POV

Not felt two weeks

I'm scheduled to attend a thesis hearing again. This is my most important schedule

wait because it is the last step before graduation. Both men

my friends, Yaotu Arif and Upil will also face a thesis hearing in time

almost at the same time as me. Upil was scheduled the day before me, and Arif

scheduled two days after me.

“Nem, later accompany me

dong to Interuniversity Center building. There's literature I'm looking for there.”

Upil spoke after wiping his greasy mouth with a sheet of tissue.

We were both at Upil's boarding house, my boarding house before getting married to Kenan. Our

lunch there after school.

Kost Upil is located

closer to campus than to my house, so we

take a lunch and rest there.

I sipped a water bottle

the minerals in front of me. “Iya. I've never been there, Pil.

It looks like it's exclusive. A place of smart people. Only S2 students

the one over there. The one near the Faculty of Engineering was right?”

“Iya, right there.

Oh, hahah, same thing. Many S1 students like us go there. Usual

the library is like any other. It makes no difference.”

“Oh, not yet me

feel inferior nih.” I said again.

Tok tok... “Mbak

Luthvia..” Suddenly a heavy man's voice came from outside the room.

“Iya, briefly, Tino.”

Oh, it turns out Tino's sister Upil is coming.

Upil stood up

and open the door.

“Mbak, I hitchhiked

eat dong. I did not get to my kost. We are now in class.”

Tino looked at her brother with a pleading look.

“His, you are this. Ada-there

aja. Get in there, grab yourself inside magic com. The vegetables and dishes are in

table.” Tino's coming in. He looked surprised to see me there.

“Eh, there is mbak Indah.”

Tino nodded towards me with a clumsy look. He quickly diverted

his gaze towards magic com.

“Tin, long time no

home again? On campus also rarely met with Kenan? You're so busy?

Kenan is lonely, usually the three of you, but a few months

Kenan was accompanied by Adi. It seems incomplete if you don't see them

threesome.” I wonder what Tino is doing. From

kenan's story, only Adi has been with him a lot lately. If

remember, since Adi and Tino stayed at home. After that I didn't

never saw Tino again with Kenan. They are usually three

on campus.

“Eh, anu mbak. Again

not with his college schedule. So rarely see.” The answer. It

quickly bring a rice plate that has been filled, about to leave the room.

“Heh, would like to eat at

where?” Upil pulled the collar of his sister's shirt so Tino back his steps.

“Outside aja.”

“Already, eat here

aja. Let it be easy if you want to add. I'm just as beautiful as not talking

weirdo-weird kok.” Upil. Tino finally relented, a take a seat

plastic from his stack and feeding facing magic com.”

“Eh, how strange you are, so,

eat facing there. What's concerned?” Upil asked again.

“Let's be easy if you want

add, mbak.” Tino.

Upil was silent and

let her sister enjoy her food. In the meantime, I caught an attitude

Tino seemed to be avoiding my gaze. He was usually friendly and talked to me

first of all, right? Sometimes I even joke around. Why now

so stiff like this?

“You are weird now

No, being so pretentious is not that kind of me. You usually make fun of me.

I was wrong?” Kepo many.

“Ehem..

chief. Means there's nothing. I'm just starving again, mbak.” Prattling

any more.

Just look at it, there is

a little doubt in my heart heard his tone. But never mind, maybe

he was not in the mood for hunger.

“Pil, I'm nginep in

your cost is yes?”

Upil scrunched

his forehead. His eyebrows are almost linked. He whispered to me, “You are no more

fight with Kenan right?”

I let out a breath.

Beringem no. But I feel like our communication hasn't lately

good. We never greet each other on our cell phones again. When we arrive at

the house also does not tell each other anything, because Kenan comes home always night, because,

it's almost midnight sometimes. I was asleep in my own room.

Although there was little progress, I was no longer afraid to sleep alone in the room

upon.

Our relationship is like

unsalted, there is no sweetness even though it does not taste bitter.

In the morning, Kenan

leave early every day. So we're not communicating at all.

I don't know because of what.

Long ago, Kenan retaliated

if I kiss and sniff it first. Another story now,

he chose to avoid it and said he was very tired.

I honestly feel

guilty. Because she cannot fulfill her duties as a wife. Yet I

doubt, is that really what caused Kenan to be cold to me.

My head feels like it

the heavier the thought of this burden alone. There's no way I'm telling you

upil is still single. Moreover, this concerns the husband and wife relationship.

Most of me blame myself because I'm the one who's at fault

here's. Kenan just got hit. But I don't know how to handle it.

I wish I could tell someone who can provide a solution

to me. Am I sick? Is it necessary for me to seek treatment, but to seek treatment

what and where? Kenan himself was not open to me. Neither do I

I could complain to Kenan.

“Eh, enggak.” I

answered Upil's question with a slight whisper as we were currently at

Inter-University Central Library (PAU). “I'm lonely, want a discussion about

the thesis cannot. Kenan came home the night. We are different majors, where

connect.”

“Ya. Don't forget

ask your husband's permission first if you want to stay at my place. I don't want to, later

Kenan ngamuk come to home.”

“Heheh.

I put my shoulders down.

“Nih, the right journal

to nambahin your reference.” When I found a journal

research on food microbiology.

“English, In.

Is there anything in Indonesian?” Upil stared at the journal I was writing

reluctantly.

“Yeah golly. No need

allergy first to the pill. Journal with a particular theme like this, vocabulary that

used is limited. It is harder to translate The Jakarta Post. I'll be later

auxiliary.” I said again. Upil is somewhat allergic when hearing English. I

it has been suggested to take the course before graduating from college to make it easier

if you want to apply for a job. Besides, there was no harm either. We

can facilitate communication with other languages. Especially in an age like this,

being able to speak English is a must.

“Seeing the writing

it's just making me shiver, In. More goosebumps than see kuntilanak.”

Said original.

“Heh, don't origin

blah-blah. Ntar didatengin really.”

Upil giggled amusedly.

However, he immediately smothered his own mouth, not wanting his voice to be heard

library entire.
