Watch Out for Falling in Love

Watch Out for Falling in Love
Online Friends



Returning from campus that afternoon, Andra stopped by the cafe first. By surfing in cyberspace is expected to provide fresh ideas for his tasks, especially STUPA tasks that had been denounced by lecturers.


He sat in room number seven as usual. After logging in, the first thing he opened was an online chat site, mIRC. mIRC is a paid software for Internet Relay Chat or online conversation that operates on the Windows operating system. mirc is useful for chatting with fellow mIRC users around the world. So anyone can get acquainted with anyone without the barrier of distance and time.


Chatting with new friends online is one of his regular activities when visiting the cafe. Just a fad at first and unconsciously become its own entertainment for Andra. Sometimes he feels bored with all his college activities. After that, he will feel excited again. It was there that he could tell about himself and his daily life without any burden. Even though they don't know who they really are. But for him, it doesn't matter. As long as they don't know who he really is.


On the 17-inch tube monitor screen looks to have entered the online conversation site. There are two parts there. Left box for conversation. The right box shows who is currently using miRC. They never used real names. Just in the form of an online name, it can be an abbreviation of a name or completely different from its original name as a self-identity.


Including Andra who usually uses the online name 'miss_bear07'. He likes teddy bears. To him the nature of bears is similar to him.


Just a few seconds into the site, someone had just invited him to meet. Followed by another account. The introductions happened. Ask each other the gender and origin of the city at first. Most if the interlocutor is same-sex the conversation will stop by itself. The majority of users, especially if men will look for female interlocutors. However, for Andra both men and women do not matter.


Stale base talk asking for self-identity happens several times every time another account comes in. Andra's starting to get bored. No one was serious about asking him to talk. He needs a vent. Although he already has two friends who can be trusted, sometimes he wants to freely express his uneg-unegnya without burden.


At the thirty-second minute, one more account had just logged in. The account name is 'cheeky_tarou'. Andra chuckled as she read his name. Reminds him of his favorite snack as a child. He also began to serve it.

He did not answer suddenly, his phone rang. Ivane called. He said it was in front of his hostel. Andra was disappointed. That online conversation has to end.


sorry I have to go. You owe me an answer

yup. seriously. I don't have a job well established.cafe guard is just a side.


okay wtf. bye.


Soon Andra quit the site and then log out of paid internet services. He rushes away because Ivane keeps calling and tells him to go home.


"What do you want to do, boy? Disturb him, "groan as he walks out of the room.


On the terrace of the boarding house, Ivane was sitting with a gloomy face. As soon as I saw Andra's arrival, a smile erupted.


"Ndra, I'm hitching a ride at Lo's boarding house, yes" he asked.


"Eh? Wh why? We're sharing the task of the group."


"Gue is scared in the boarding house. Lately I like something weird."


"How weird?" Andra scrunched her forehead.


"It's strange that after eating I like to sleep. My job was not done. If there is a chat can make me literate continue," he said absurd.


"Yeee is mah elo most eat so full. Have we been talking all night?"


Andra continued her steps into the boarding house. Followed by Ivane while carrying her bag and mockup.


"Did you bring all the mockups?" andra protests wonder.


"And I want to hitch a ride here," answered Ivane innocently.


"Well, if my room gets dirty, it won't be filled again!" threaten her.


"Ready, Gan!" answer Ivane quickly. His heart immediately flowered. Tonight there's a friend for overtime making mockups. Not to forget after Maghrib, the two bought some snacks to stay up together.


By midnight, the two were still holding on to the task. Accompanied by the music that was popular at that time from the computer is a band from Bandung, Peterpan.


"Ne, have you run yet? I'm getting sleepy" Andra Sembao yawned.


"Well, not just yet! Not even twelve o'clock. We're talking about whether the cake should not be sleepy" Ivane suggested.


"What are you talking about? We talk every day on campus."


"On guys for example," Ivane said.


Andra sighed. "Want to discuss the new issue?"


"My bad luck is still a long time, Mr. Ridwan. Discuss gebetan elo. I never knew who was Elo, Ndra."


"Yes, I don't have one" replied Andra coldly.


"Lying ah. Widia said lately elo often worried about our seniors. Who wears glasses."


"What did she tell you about me?"


Andra just fell silent. He pretended to close his eyes. Lazy discussed.


"Yeee was invited to chat even molor." The short-haired girl was disappointed. Ivane decided to immediately stop making his mockups and followed Andra sleeping next to him. Even though the bed is small.


"Ndra ..,"heeled Ivane.


"Hhhhmmm ...."


"You can pretend to be asleep. I want to confide in this."


"What the hell?"


"On Mr. Ridwan. I don't think I'm gonna be a match with him?"


"Where do I know. Who I am does not know."


"I don't know what makes me go to college. What's the matter, Ndra?"


"Gue just wants to graduate quickly with good grades. Let me get to work fast and be a great architect" Andra said while keeping his eyes closed.


"Gue doesn't know what a great architect can be. At my value it's like that. I think I'm the wrong department."


"Why did you choose this major?" ask Andra astonished.


"I was just testing at the time. From the department that I might pass the selection. If you pass into PTN ya Alhamdulillah. If I don't, I'm already in PTS."


"Yes my. You know, there are not so many people out there who pass the selection. Elo's lucky, Ne."


"Gue knows that. That's why I'm not passionate about this subject. Not my passion. Honestly aja. I actually went to a language major, but Ortu disagreed. So for my sake I'm willing to come in here. Strangely fitting I see Mr. Ridwan, I feel like a new passion. I want to look cool in his eyes. Let him be aware of my presence, Ndra. What do you think elo? The problem is that he is a lecturer in Mechanical Engineering. I am so very much the same with Matkul. Sad that. Who could teach me that matkul," Ivane's cerocos.


No word from his next-door friend. Ivane glanced next to. Andra is snoring. Turns out he's really asleep.


"Damn it! Molor. Thought I was a fairy tale before going to bed what," he said disappointed.


He also caught up with Andra sleeping. Tilting his slim body to be enough on that small mattress. Slowly he heard his snoring a few minutes later.

A birthday cake with small candles neatly lined on it. Her little flame danced funny as Andra took her slowly.


Carefully the cake was brought into a room. Andra smiling happily will give a sweet surprise to Nathan. The handsome man would definitely be very surprised by his appearance with some schoolmates.


Andra in front of Nathan's room. Someone knocked on that door. The door is open. Then they all shouted, "Happy Birthday!!!" with a cheerful face. Unfortunately, the joy changed immediately. Andra gaped when the one that appeared was not Nathan. But a girl who was as surprised as their presence. Then Nathan appears behind the girl. He's dumbfounded.


"Darling, is it your birthday?" ask the girl gently.


"I-iya ..," replied Nathan stuttering. He avoids eye contact with Andra, whose tears are now welling up.


"good. Your cover is open. Happy birthday, Nat. Hope you get the payback!" hardik Andra was disappointed.


The birthday cake was handed to Nathan. The man was confused and felt bad.


"Bad Lo, Nat. Elo chick has made a surprise party, elo even delicious with other girls," chirped his friend.


"****** nih Nathan!" add another friend. They were just as disappointed as Andra.


Andra's tears can't be held back. A commotion ensues when one of the friends spills the cake into Nathan's face trying to explain. The cake fell apart on the floor. Nathan's cheating girl screamed.


Someone pushed his chest until he backed off. Can't believe his pretext that says if the girl's his cousin. Andra doesn't believe it either. He also pushed the man until he fell. Others beat and kicked Nathan's body on the floor. Andra didn't hesitate to kick him. His disappointment enraged him and lost control.


"Basic of cheating! I pretended to go out of town, elo even fun with other girls! You're fucking!" aspir Andra beaver.


"Sorry, Yang. Excuse me. He is my cousin. The oath!"


"Udah the cheating man added the liar as well. Die you!" yelled Andra annoyed. He kept kicking Nathan who was cowering in pain on the floor.


"Die me lo! Basic anj*ng!"


"Aw.. auw.. auw...!!!"


"It hurts me mulu! Go to the sea!"


"Ow! Andra! What the fuck are you?" ivane's screams in pain. He woke up because he was kicked by Andra with his eyes closed.


Unfortunately, Andra was still sleeping and now his hands were playing beating Ivane's body next to him.


Can not stand the pain, drinking water was forced to splash into Andra's face. Just let him flounder and confused. His eyes were brushing the room.


"Are you satisfied with me? What dreams are you?" ivane said annoyed with the glass still in hand.


"I was doused in water anyway?" Andra rubbed her wet face.


"Yes elo was mukulin and nendangin me while sleeping. I don't think I'm in any pain?"


"Geez! Which really?"


"Yes really dong. Why am I lying. I am so happy to use water. Mending the plant flush," Ivane replied with an annoyed face.


Andra was silent for a moment. Trying to remember her dream.


"Astaghfirullah's. Again I had a nightmare about Nathan," he said sadly.


"again? Elo often dreams about him?"


Andra nodded.


"Oh my goodness, Ndra. Still imprinting your heartache?"


Andra nodded again with a sad face. Ivane felt sorry. He hugged his best friend tightly. Tears also fell. Andra cried feeling that heartache again. Although because of his dream.


"Elo should be able to forget him, Ndra. Forget all about him! There's no point dreaming of him," Ivane softly advised.


"If the cave could choose my dream, Ne. I want another dream," isak Andra languished. "Since I separated from him, I've always had nightmares. Sometimes I wake up crying. Why isn't the pain going away?"


"Elo still can't forgive him?" Ivane stroked Andra's back.


"Not understanding, Ne. I always remember that incident. Though I really want to forget about him, but this heart is not willing to betray him."


"Yes I understand. I wish I could do something, Ndra. I must have helped you."


Andra wiped her tears as the embrace unraveled.


"Sorry yes. I accidentally kicked elo, Ne."


"It's okay. Next time I sleep on the floor, I'm more of a bonyok."


Both are chuckling.
