THE END OF OUR STORY

Love and Commitment (2)

Aurora's hearing captures the sound of alarm coming out of her HP, but it is still difficult to open her eyes because drowsiness still hangs on her eyelids. His hands flailed in search of the HP he used to store on the floor under the bed. Peering slightly to turn off the alarm, Aurora again lay with her eyes closed.

His consciousness began to gather and the memory that first entered his mind was the PR that Cloud had given him last night. His lips were then pulled downward.

“Huh! Why did Mas Awan give all PR? Basic lecturer!”

Aurora took a deep breath.

“Love ... commitment ... love .. commitment ...” Thus repeatedly the two words alternately present in his head, but he seems unable to think.

Hungry was felt in her stomach, Aurora decided to have breakfast and take a shower first before further thinking about the PR of the Clouds. After tidying up her bed Aurora came out of the room directly towards the kitchen. Saras was already in the kitchen, slicing onions at the dinner table.

“Morning, Ras,” greet Aurora while taking a glass and opening the water tap then take a seat opposite Saras and start drinking.

“Again, Au.” While staying focused on his activities, Saras continued, “We make fried rice yes ..

“Bby,” replied Au briefly noticed Saras who had started slicing carrots. Before long he added, “Polos or wear soy sauce, Ras?”

“Plain yes ...,” Reply Saras. Aurora nodded her head slowly showing her approval, then got up to stand towards the refrigerator, picked up the eggs, and started preparing the equipment.

Aurora sat together Saras enjoying breakfast with the balcony door open bringing fresh air as well as the sound of a train passing behind the apartment.

“May where?” aurora asks because she didn't see May in the unit.

With half mouth filled Saras short answer, “Nyuci.”

“Oooh ..”

“Today there are plans to where, Au?”

“Negak .. none. Where are you going?”

“Kirain .. who knows if there are plans to go where the same Mas Awan.”

“Oh, not really .. but later it looks like going to Mas Awan.” Aurora recalled the PR that Cloud had given her.

“Hmm ...,“ Saras simply replied by muttering while a bit of mangosteen.

Their conversation continues by discussing the progress of the thesis that is getting closer to be completed. In the next month, all students must be able to explain the process and research results contained in the thesis that has been prepared for months. It does not feel like they have been living together for almost a year in one unit, which after graduation will have to prepare for separation.

After taking a bath and feeling refreshed, Aurora sat cross-legged on the mattress while leaning her back and head against the white wall behind her. His hands clasped HP, but his mind glared.

“Love ... or commitment?” Two words that he often heard, but when he now thought it seemed he did not really understand the meaning of the two words. Aurora closed her eyes, hoping that her thoughts and feelings could come together to give an answer.

Aurora thought for a long time without changing her position until she heard Saras calling.

Aurora replied with half a shout so that Saras who was outside the room could hear her, “Iya ...”

Aurora is now alone in her unit and chooses to continue thinking about the PR she received from the Clouds. This time he changed his position, sitting hugging both legs with his chin resting on his knees, his eyes closed again. Aurora was trying to structure the thoughts that were lying in her mind so that later she could easily give answers to the Clouds.

In the afternoon Aurora receives a message from the Clouds.

Cloud: Is the PR done? 😉

Aurora read the message with an uncomfortable feeling that was suddenly present. He felt reluctant and unprepared when he realized it was time to give the answer to the Clouds. After a short pause, Aurora finally replied.

Aurora: It's Mas..

There was no reply from the cloud. Aurora started to get nervous. “Kok unanswered? Ah maybe again what, times yes,” thought.

Just as he got up from his seat, the sound of the unit bell rang. Aurora steps out of the room to the door because Saras was back to Luke's place because there was a problem with his laptop.

As soon as the door was opened, the clouds smiled brightly, making Aurora was surprised and inwardly added value to the good looks of the man before her. Aurora smiled as she looked at the clouds.

“Kok to here, Mas?”

The clouds immediately crossed and pretended to put on a sour face and sound ketus. “Agot happy?”

Aurora laughed as she pulled Cloud's hand down to no longer look like she was angry. “Senang ... but I was the one who wanted to go to Mas Awan's room.”

“Yes, I want to pick up, kok,” reply Clouds while again smiling as bright as before.

I don't know why Aurora became a little blushed. “Oooh, hold on if you do. I took the key,” he said as he turned towards the room leaving the Clouds still standing in front of the door.

In the elevator to the Cloud room they only talk about Saras' laptop problem and both hope Lukas can fix it. All of Saras's data and thesis files are there, which means the world will collapse for him if his laptop turns out to be unsaved.

Upon arrival in the Cloud room, Aurora immediately busied herself by preparing peach-flavored tea for the two of them. Aurora deliberately offered the Clouds to make tea in order to buy time and eliminate the groggy feeling that befell her when her footsteps began to step out of the elevator earlier.

Seeing that Aurora had finished her activities, the clouds called Aurora to come closer and sit with her on the sofa. “Sini,” said as he patted the spot next to it.

Forcing herself to smile which she wished did not look clumsy, Aurora approached the Clouds and gave one glass in her hand to the Clouds.

The cloud shifted its position by raising one of its legs to the elbow and tilting the body so that its right side leaned on the sofa backrest. Aurora sat sweetly staring towards the front with the glass in her grasp, not daring to say anything or add movement.

The clouds only silently smiled, but his eyes stared intensely at Aurora from the side, noticing the perfect profile of Aurora in his eyes.

Despite not seeing, Aurora knew the Clouds were staring intently at her. A tense feeling came back over and he began to feel the temperature in the Cloud room rise. “Dduuh, really like a trial deh!” Aurora sipped her tea slowly trying to lower the tension pressure she felt.
