UNABLE TO FORGET YOU
KENZIO ARYADINATA

Lenka steps up at the campus gate of Melbourne University. Today, he began to be listed as one of the students at the campus, by taking a medical study program.

She will be applying for online college, until the baby in her womb is born. Now Lenka's gestational age runs 34 weeks. That means in 3 weeks, Lenka will have her baby.

Aunt Julia and her son Jovan are busy preparing for all Lenka needs to give birth. They have also booked a place for Lenka to give birth in a hospital.

"Lenka you want your room changed in paint color," asked aunt Julia who seemed excited to welcome Lenka's birthday.

"No, Bi. That's enough!" said Lenka

"Are your babies male or female Val?" ask Jovan, Julia's only aunt's son. The bule guy prefers to call Lenka by her first name Valen.

"According to the male USG," said Lenka.

"I like it when your son is a boy, I have friends to play ball with!" Jovan.

Jovan is Lenka's only cousin, they grew up together as children, only a few days apart. Jovan has a white, brownish-haired face, a descendant of his father. Jovan's father was a native Australian, named Jhoni Richardson. Jovan's father owned restaurants and cafes on his parents' property.

"Mommy wants a girl, Jovan, so someone accompanies Mami at the cooking house" said Aunt Julia.

"Ih Mami.not very creative anyway, why don't Mami just get pregnant again, let me have a sister," protested Jovan.

"Soalya Mami is difficult to get children, just make your dapetin, mami wait for 5 years," said Aunt Julia

Lenka just smiled hearing her aunt Julia and her cousin Jovan debating her baby-to-be.

"It's hard being an only child" complained Jovan.

"What trouble?" Lenka scrunched her forehead.

"It's hard, everywhere itself, it's a little bit off, go home for a long time, get asked questions" said Jovan upset.

"No dong, Van, Aunt Julia definitely didn't want her son to do anything" Lenka said.

"Betul Lenka, Auntie doesn't want to, Jovan hangs out with friends from the biker gang" Julia said.

"You're following the biker gang, Van?" ask Lenka.

"Yes, but this biker gang, not that brutal TV-kayaking gang, but the Harley biker gang, is staging a lot of social action" Jovan replied.

"If that's the case, it doesn't matter Bi!" bela Lenka's.

"Yes, but Jovan, if he's at the motorcycle gang headquarters, forgot to go home" said Aunt Julia.

"Mommy I finished college right, stopped by first at the headquarters, to finish the task, after all the distance from campus to the headquarters is close," again Jovan defended himself.

"Yes, it's up to you, now there is Lenka accompanying Mami at home," said Aunt Julia finally relented.

"Well, Mom, thanks Val, "Said Jovan. "By the way, the guy who made you pregnant doesn't want responsibility!" ask Jovan.

"It's not that I don't want to, Van, but I never told her I was pregnant" Lenka said sadly.

"Why?" jovan asked puzzledly, "While every pregnant woman must be demanding that her lover be held responsible, but what...?"

"I don't want my dreams to be ruined and Zeehan will lose his scholarship if he has to marry me" Lenka replied honestly.

"Where is Zeehan going to college?" ask Jovan again.

"He received a full scholarship at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia,"

"Smart is he, too" Jovan praised.

"Yes, he is also a hard worker, from a small age he is used to living a difficult life, without a father who supports his family, Zeehan must pay for his mother and himself,"

"What can he do?" asked Mami Julia to join the conversation.

"Home from school, he works on the farm, at night he goes to sea to find fish, and the next morning he'll sell it at a fish auction" Lenka said.

"If Auntie is you, auntie doesn't want to live that hard life either, Lenka, this life has to be realistic, we can't just rely on love to be happy, we all need money, to meet our needs."

"Yes Auntie, but someday, I'll definitely tell Zeehan about his son, "

"If he refuses to acknowledge his son, I will beat him up" said Jovan clenched his hand.

"Thank you for the support of Bibi, Jovan, you still want to accept me, if I'm still in Jakarta, I will definitely be the gossip of people around the village," said Lenka sincerely.

"Dear dear, Auntie understands what it's like to be in your position, hopefully you'll find happiness one day" Aunt Julia said.

"Amijin,"

Meanwhile, in the Metropolitan city of Jakarta, Zeehan began studying at the Faculty of Medicine UI, he chose to live in a boarding house, so that he could study while working.

Thanks to his persistence, Zeehan was accepted to work part-time at a cafe. And Zeehan worked after college until nightfall.

With his busyness in the cafe, Zeehan can slightly forget his heartbreak after Lenka's departure.

The owner of the Nirwana cafe was a middle-aged man, named Alfred. He likes the way Zeehan works and his perseverance.

"Zeehan, this is your salary this month, I love hard-working young people like you," Bang Alfred said, as Zeehan used to call his name.

"Thank you Bang, I'll send it to my mother in part" Zeehan said.

"You're a very devoted child, Zeehan, I salute you!" praise the man while patting Zeehan's shoulder gently.

After the cafe closed at 02.00 in the morning, Zeehan returned to his boarding place, which is located not far from the campus.

Zeehan laid his body on his single bed. He was alone in the room, because the room was small, only fit for himself. And Zeehan got a cheap price than the other rooms.

Zeehan closed his eyes for a moment, his body feeling tired. Just a few minutes, he suddenly jolted from his sleep, Zeehan opened his eyes, and set his breath tight.

Slowly, Zeehan took a breath through his nose and exhaled through his mouth slowly. He heard the sound of a newborn crying.

Zeehan shook his head, as his consciousness recovered, the sound of crying disappeared.

"Will Sherly give birth? But Sherly's sister gave birth a month ago," Inner Zeehan.

Zeehan closed his eyes again, this time he saw a boy running towards him.

"Lord...!' the boy shouted hugging Zeehan's leg tightly.

"What's your name, son?" Zeehan looked at the small face faintly.

"My name's...!" suddenly the shadow of the little boy disappeared, as someone knocked on the door of his boarding room.

"Zeehan....!" the voice of his friend Aldo sounded loud. "Zeehan, you don't go to college today, it's noon," Aldo repeated, awakening Zeehan.

"Yes, stop doing! I want to take a shower first, if you don't want to pa-pa first," said Zeehan opened the door of his room with his eyes still heavy.

"Oh yeah, it's almost 9, I'm afraid late, I'm first Han, ' said Aldo immediately ran towards the campus which is only a few meters from their boarding place.

"Lenka, did you hide something from me, until you left without saying goodbye to me" Zeehan said. His heart was broken, when he remembered Lenka.

Zeehan immediately took a shower and dressed neatly to get to the campus where he studied.

*******

Lenka gave birth to a baby boy, right in early October. A handsome baby boy, has a slightly dark complexion like his father, Zeehan. His face is handsome and adorable.

Mama Rekha came from Jakarta to accompany her during Lenka's recovery.

"Oma's granddaughter, so handsome, what's her name?" mama Rekha asked to hold the little baby in her arms.

"I'll name him Kenzio, Ma!" answer Lenka.

"Kenzio? Nice name,"

"Kenzio Zeehan Aryadinata" muttered Lenka.

"Aryadinata's?mommy's feelings never heard that name, but where is it?" mummified Mama Rekha.

"That's Zeehan's last name, Ma."

"Oh,"

"You don't want to tell her dad that you gave birth to Val?" ask Zeehan.

"Not now, Jovan," Lenka replied softly
