The Other Me
New day
After a nice Saturday they all rest on Sunday.
Monday in the morning, the weather was quite cloudy even though there was still sunlight on the sidelines of the clouds, they could not wait to tell Bian and Jeisis who gave the idea of a vacation but did not come because of family affairs.
Good morning greetings along the corridor and in the classroom, students began to arrive to start studying in the new week after the exam, as well as the residents of X Language 1.
In less than 5 minutes, classes will begin and they wait for Ian's arrival to emerge from the doorstep.
" Did Ian not come?"
" He can't be sick..."
" Saturday was good, do not talk carelessly, the word is prayer..."
" Well, all right..."
" Sitting in each seat.." Ani's mother came in to give some briefing ".nothing needs to be delivered, keep the class clean, don't make trouble, no, you are quite good at hiding your excitement." he said with a smile on the whole class. "...Ardian can't get in today, take a good class, good morning..."
" Ian where's mom?" ask Betty and Angel at the same time while raising their hands.
" There's no reason why she's allowed to, I've received word from Siska's mother, you can ask her.." Ani's mother said then left.
Betty searches for the whereabouts of her handpone, looking for Ian's name in her contacts.
" Hello, Ian? why don't you come?" ask Betty without saying hello first.
" Hello, good morning, sorry before I did not mean to be careless to lift the call of Miss Ar's friend, but she was still asleep." replied Anisa, the waiter who serves Ar as well as the daughter of Harna's housekeeper.
" Well, I'm sorry without saying hello first, I'm Betty, Ardian's classmate, if you want to ask, is Ardian okay?" betty asked politely making the others astonished by her politeness.
" I'm sorry miss, but I don't dare to reveal the condition of young lady to you." said Anisa again.
" Well, sorry to bother you who are working early this morning, please take good care of Ardian, good morning." said Betty.
" Yes, good morning to you, too..." And Betty hung up.
" How? did something happen to Ian?" joana asks when she finds out Betty called Ian.
" I don't know, said his servant he was still sleeping, it looks like he is indeed sick." Betty concluded.
" Ian's the guy, he's gotta be in the hospital if he's sick..." Said Angel joining.
" There is his brother who is a doctor who is in college S2, he lives not far from Harna's sister's house so they do not need to go to the hospital if they are sick again." said Benny.
And the misunderstanding about Ar continues.
...****************...
Ar wakes up, stretching his stiff muscles during sleep. The clock is 07:30. Not a good time for a young girl to wake up. Mama says her soul mate will be far away if you wake up late.
" Good morning miss.." said Anisa who just finished feeding the three baby dogs and cleaned Ar's room.
" Good morning, sister Nisa." said Ar to reply. He noticed Anisa who when he woke up from his sleep Anisapun woke up from his seat, opened the window curtains and balcony without opening the glass door of the balcony.
" So there was a lady who called, nanyain miss but said I miss sleeping, that's all..."
" Oh, I'll call them again, thanks, brother,.Ar take a shower first..."
After bathing and preparing Ar down with simple clothes, a long nettle no jeans, a big size shirt, and clad in a cardigan that is left open or unbuttoned. The theme of the clothes is cream brown, with a sling bag that fills 'something' that must be needed Ar.
" Sister Herman has gone too?" asked Ar while occupying the chair that he often occupied.
" Yes, Aaron and the others have also gone to school, tumben woke up..."
Harna waited for Ar to come down and eat with him.
" Once upon a time, brother..." Ar chews breakfast in front of him.
" It's not like brother's permission one day said the brother before." said Ar.
" Half a day, brother only permits half a day." said Harna justifying Ar's words.
" Well..."
...****************...
Eye examination, Ar who has needed a tool since childhood must replace the larger lens again.
Ar who used to often break his glasses because he continued to wear them, whether since when he used glasses only for reading purposes or sometimes not at all.
" Ardian's sister must have bumped into small items a lot, right? Little brother should not be ashamed to use glasses, sometimes people think children who use glasses are genius children." said the doctor after the examination.
" Mr. emm, adi..."
" I'm sorry sir, if the doctor thinks I'm still in elementary school, the doctor is wrong, I'm smart but I'm in high school." said Ar imperious, he most dislikes being considered a child.
" Ahahaha her sister Harna's mother is a bit of a joke, yes, this is the recipe, I know which place of the drug is good for her sister's mother." said the doctor.
They went home, stopped by the optics shop next to the hospital.
...****************...
" Why don't you use the glasses?" ask Harna. They're heading to his office.
" Later often broken if used continuously, then also, sometimes overstressed, sleep also forget loose, papa often angry if Ar continues to breakin." said Ar, said Ar, he often broke his glasses.
" No problem, you can buy a new one, Brother Herman has a few percent stake in the optical store earlier so it doesn't matter if you break it because we can buy again..."
" Alright.." said Ar then using glasses that just replaced the handle and lens earlier.
" Well let's go down, I know you to my sister's office, look at Herman's office, and then we go to the library."
Ar was invited to tour the headquarters of Yayasan Pranata, the office consists of 16 floors, fortunately Harna has special access to use the director's special elevator, so they do not have to bother using a crowded employee elevator at lunchtime like today.
Ar also greets Herman in his room, he is even given money (Ar is heavily pampered by Herman ). Finished walking around, Harna escorted her to the public library next to the street.
" Call brother if you need anything." Harna's message to Ar.
" Must be Andi's brother inside." murmured Ar slowly but still heard Harna.
" What is Andi doing here, is he the laziest to read a book?" harna.
" Brother Andi is again the dean with one of the interns here." said Ar.
" Let's go in.." said Harna, holding Ar's hand.
" Say he just didn't send me here, why is it that you're also coming in now?" ask Ar deliberately because he already knows the answer.
Get them inside.
Ar who has been a few times has been accustomed, ranging from leaving goods, writing a list of visits, and Harna follow every movement Ar.
Going inside, Harna's eyes immediately traced the place and the angle that appeared from where he stood and he saw a foreign figure who was even familiar with his eyes. He approached.
" Ahem.." coughs up with the intention of resuscitating his cousin's sister who is dating.
" Are you Harna's sister, Tumben came here, brother didn't come to the office?" andi's pleasantries.
" Take good care of your sister, if you leave her again, say goodbye to the car in front." said Harna in a whisper but Andi who heard became creepy.
" Well, boss." said Andi stiff, yes afraid of the threat.
And that's the first day of the new week after the midterms.
