Waiting End

episode 2 - LOOKING FOR A NEW COSTUME

Finish eating me and Rini immediately unplug from the cafe to find a new boarding place. Of course with criteria that are not too far away and affordable prices for my pocket size.

Understandably I am not from a bourgeois family who can freely choose where I live with all lux facilities like my other friends. So getting a scholarship as an outstanding student is one of my obsessions so that my parents are not burdened with the many budgets that must be spent.

While Rini is my best friend who I know at the beginning of the second semester yesterday. Coincidentally we both took the same student activity unit, RACANA.

He's economically more established than I am. His father is a Village Chief and his 3 brothers are already married and quite established. Although he is the fifth child and there is still one more brother who is both still in college as well but different campus with Rini, but his father there is a steady income every month.

While I was just the son of a simple farmer who tried his luck to gain knowledge because according to my parents I have a diluted brain. After all, I am the youngest of ten children, so my mother's father had high hopes for me so that at least one of his children could lift the dignity and dignity of the family with a decent knowledge.

"I'll call my friend right away" Rini said as she pulled the android out of her bag.

I just nodded without saying a word.

"Yenny Assalamualaikum"

"Wa'alaikum hail, huh Rin, what's up? Tumben called" said Yenny, a friend of Rini's who is still in the class with me.

"Yen sorry to ask, you're boarding in the back area of Pancasila field right?"

Rini asked while sitting on the motorcycle seat and the bag was still on her shoulders.

"Yes, right, why? "

"This is another room looking for a hostel, is there an empty room in your place? "

"mmm... It seems like there was yesterday he said that Vina already wanted to go home" replied Yenny.

"Oh ok then I go to your boarding house

Now my friend's looking for a hostel"

"Yes, you don't come here if you want to look around first"

"Fa behind the pancasila field there are empty rooms where Yenny, do you know him? " while standing on Rini's motorcycle, he took me to see Yenny's boarding house.

"Alhamdulillah come on, get hot on your head" I said

I immediately sat in the back seat and the bike drove towards the pancasila field. Passing the front roundabout of the Rini Police turned the motor to the left in the direction of Kalicacing.

I was rinsed by Rini because I can't ride my own motorbike. (if the bike onthel anyway I can 🤭)

Arriving at the house Rini parked her motorbike and walked over to knock on the door

Tok tok tok (door sound knocked)

"Assalamualaikum "the greeting that Rini uttered from the front door

"Wa'alaikum greetings, yes for a moment" soon heard the reply from inside the house.

"Eh come on in, ... Please sit down" take Yenny.

With a smile Rini and I stepped in and sat opposite Yenny in the small living room located at the front of the boarding house.

"What do you drink? " tag Yenny as a stale base sentence of respect to us.

"Go on, it just so happens that we ate, don't bother" I refused

"Yesterday he had a boarding house at his brother Olif's house, but because Olif now wants at the pace of his home, he does not want to host again he feels lonely at his boarding house, so he wants to move from there" Rini explained why I was planning to move out.

"If you can know here what is the monthly annual Yen? " ask me

"monthly can be annual, but if I think it's more efficient if we pay the annual Fa" Yenny explained.

"Where? Are you interested in boarding here? " ask Yenny again

"If it is your interest to see first the condition of the room"

"Can I go in ? " my door

"May, yuk I deliver, "Yenny got up from the seat and walked inside.

Passing through three rooms that were closed doors, Yenny opened the door to the fourth room that would be my room later.

I bent my head inside before entering the room deliberately I was looking at the condition outside the room and looked at the head looking at the boarding house, then I stepped foot into the room.

Clean enough to be seen from the floor and walls of the room that limits the space with the space next to it. There are foam cots and mattresses about the size of 100x200 cm enough for one person to sleep and lay down on top of it. There are also small cabinets and tables but no chairs as a pair.

"How much is the annual Yen? " i asked while still looking at the rest of the room

"If last year I asked for seven million five hundred thousand" Yenny replied as her body leaned against the wall and her hand held the door handle.

"Oh " while nodding my head, my brain thinks about my mother mind no?

"So how, if it is my interest to love no mother who has this boarding house, let her not offer it to others" said Yenny

"From campus is not too far away, the children who boarding here are also good, care is also the same friend, but depending on us also can bring themselves or not" Yenny explained at length and convinced me to accept

"Well I asked for no contact mother boarding ya" I finally accepted Yenny's offer to join the new boarding house for me.

"This is her number 0817.... Her mother's name is Kosasih"

"Ok I've saved. Thank you Yen, if that's what I want to go home first

" Assalamualaikum "greetings we say as a sign of our farewell.

"Wa'alaikum salute" replied Yenny

"Where does the Fa fit in the same place? " rini's question was not immediately answered.

"I have to ask for approval first with my mother Rin, right those who are out of money" said I "the place is delicious, not far from the campus, quite strategically near the city center as well"

"Where else is wis? Home or where? " ask Rini while continuing to drive her matic motorbike back towards the Kridanggo stadium.

"Go home Rin, in Shea Allah tomorrow see you again, all want to pack my things first to make a move"

"You want help? Is there free energy? " laughing Roni offered her help.

"Bestie's happy" I replied with a crisp laugh as well

"That means we go straight to your boarding house? " rushing

"Yes, if you don't mind" as I thumbs up the approval sign
