The House in the Middle of Sawah

April 4th

I woke up, in a narrow room with some chipped paint. Scroll clock on the wall, five o'clock. It was morning, but it was not the sound of the cock crowing that greeted me this morning. Outside, there were several times the sound of motor vehicles passing by. Last night was the first night my family and I went to the store. Said the Father anyway while moving to the store, and the Father also did not clear what it really is.

Dad's cloth shop is quite large, but the back room for us to sleep is not too wide. I don't know if my sister will be hot in this place. Especially if the afternoon of the race shop, the streets are rame and certainly noisy. Different three hundred sixty plus one degree with at home. I saw Father, Mother and sister still asleep. I washed my face and walked out of the store through the side door. I sat crouching in front of the shop, looking at the bustle of urban people. If at home, this hour is greeted by fog, if in the city kayak gini at five o'clock already rame.

My HP shook, breaking my daydream. An SMS came in, and it turned out from Febi. It has been a long time since he has not contacted me. The last time he called I did not pick up, SMS was also just I read I never reply.

and, next week on April 4th I want to make sure you and your friends to Oslo Steak, I'll have a birthday, come? Pliiiss .

The invitation to eat, the place is expensive again, unfortunately also if missed. Ah, but I'm still spraining that one chick.

Gradaaakkk

The sound of the store trellis door opening shocked me. Father turned out to be awake. A quick look at me then go back inside the store. Me and Dad haven't talked to each other since last night we got to the store. I am still curious about what happened between Mr and Mbah Kadir, until it requires us to move temporarily to the store. I breathed, my life getting weird.

When I got to college, I didn't go straight to class. My class starts later after Zuhur. I decided to go to the cafe in front of the campus. I want to find presentation material today, as well as want to check eF be sogo girl account. Who is sogo girl? What business did he send my picture of Febi hugging Hasan? For sure this sogo girl figure is one of the friends in my class, but who and why, that's what I need to find out.

I logged in on my eF be account. Clicking the search button, I type Sogo girl. I found the account, the profile photo is just plain black. I saw in his bio, nothing, no photo, no HP number listed. There is no new activity. I almost gave up trying to find out, but then I found the date of birth listed on Sogo Girl's account. Written April 4, 1991. I'm familiar with this birth date? Look where yes, I remember.

I remembered something, I had HP in my pants pocket. I saw the incoming message, the last SMS from Febi. I opened a message asking for a meal on his birthday, April 4. Is this a coincidence? Sogo Girl's account lists her date of birth as April 4, and Febi celebrates her birthday on the same date. What the fuck?

Hurry up, I log out and end my search. I'm not looking for my presentation material. I stood up from where I was sitting, about to get out of the cafe, but I did not do it. The tail of my eye caught the figure of Iwan in one of the cafe booths, along with a girl. I observed, at first I thought maybe he was looking for group materials or something. But what happened next made my emotions explode. Iwan and the girl kissed in the cafe. Goddamn bum!

Without a second thought I immediately ran and charged towards Iwan.
