A Place to Return
Where to Return *20
"Anggie, loe so go straight to my house?" ask Vian to his best friend
Anggie and Vian have made a deal to complete Anggie's final assignment at Vian's house. It's been two days that they both made a deal to do just that.
"So, but to the library. There's a book I have to borrow first" Anggie said, answering a question from Vian. Anggie answered while putting her lecture book together in a backpack.
"Ready?" ask Vian who has been waiting since.
"It has. Come on, turn first to the elo house" replied Anggie.
Anggie and Vian walked side by side to the library. The two beautiful women who became the campus flower walked leisurely without caring about the person who was staring at the two of them. The occasional look made Anggie very uncomfortable. The gaze they gave was like a gaze that would embarrass Anggie with her changed social strata. But that's just according to Anggie, when in fact they do not look at Anggie because they are proud of Anggie who can still finish his lecture even though he is no longer a rich man's son. It's a tough fight for Anggie to do.
"They still look at me with the same look. I'm a males" Anggie said, kicking a pebble that blocked his path.
"Leave it. Assume they do not exist. Not necessarily they look at you because of that incident. It could be that they look at you because they are proud of you now" said Vian who did not want Anggie to continue to be prejudiced against friends on campus.
"Hopefully" Anggie replied with a gawk.
'Something is impossible' Anggie continued in his heart and mind. Anggie kept letting himself be on his own terms. He didn't care what Vian said. Anggie only learns from the circumstances that have happened, so what is said by Vian, Anggie does not care and does not think about it.
"What book would you like to find?" ask Vian when they have checked in to enter the central library.
"What a problem" answered Anggie.
Anggie set his foot on the shelf of bookshelves he wanted. He picked up some books that were already on the list he had made last night. Within thirty minutes, Anggie had all the books he wanted.
"Okay Vian I'm ready"
"So straight to my house? " ask Vian.
Vian was hoping that Anggie would say yes. He's really very hungry. Vian had invited Anggie to lunch first, but the answer given by Anggie was not expected by Vian. The answer that made Vian very surprised. Vian did not expect and never imagined that Anggie would experience such a difficult thing.
"Yup. We'll just go straight to Loe's house" Anggie replied.
"But until your house we will be noon. I'm laper" Anggie said with the embarrassment he had to endure.
He's never been like this before. He never held hunger in his entire life. This time it was her first time to endure her hunger on campus. But whatever it is Anggie still has to keep fighting, he must not lose to the ugly economy that is afflicting the life of himself and his mother at this time.
"OKAY. I am hungry too. We'll eat what's in the house" Vian agreed with what Anggie told him.
"Sip. Loe just calm down, I've been used to eating what food is there, not choose to choose" replied Anggie.
The two of them then ride Vian's motorcycle towards Vian's house.
"Vi, it's good to ride a motorcycle like this."
"Have you ever been on a motorcycle?" ask Vian.
"Have you ever tried riding a motorcycle?"
"Don't get me wrong, I come home from the supermarket if there are no more angkot ya ride ojek" Anggie replied casually.
Vian who heard Anggie coming home from the supermarket in a motorcycle was immediately silent to hear it.
"Why are you silent?" ask Anggie curiously.
"Where am I going to be silent. Elo midnight ride ojek. What if something happens to you?" said Vian who was very worried that something happened to Anggie when Anggie took the motorcycle home.
"So they won't be rude to me" continued Anggie.
"Sukur sukur if it is like that. But you still have to be careful huh. I don't want you to know why" said Vian who already thinks of Anggie as his own sibling.
"Each commander. I will make sure that I will take care of myself very well" said Anggie promised his best friend to keep it can take care of himself.
It didn't feel like the two of them had reached Vian's house. Vian's house was in an elite housing estate. He actually used to bring a car to campus, but it was because the building was late, making Vian have to bring a motorbike to the campus to avoid the traffic jams that often occur in such rush hour.
"Sir is the key. Thank you" Vian told his house security guard.
"Same with Non" replied Satpam.
"Oh yes sir, do you know I went to college on a motorcycle?" said Vian who is afraid that if Mami knows she went to college riding a motorcycle will make Mami emotional and heavy stress. Mami will definitely be pissed off until Vian gets home.
"Ready miss. I can confirm that Mami does not know at all if Miss went to campus on my motorcycle" replied the security guard.
"Makasi Sir. Then I go in first" Vian said to his house security. Vian and his family are known to be very kind to the people who help them at home, for Vian and his family there is no difference between the servant and the host.
Vian and Anggie then walk into Vian's house.
"So that's the security guard's motorcycle?" asked Anggie not to believe what Vian was doing.
"Yupi, since when here there is a motorbike again. Since the incident my brother died because of wild racing, since then Papi and Mami decided to sell all motorcycles" replied Vian again.
"Yes, yes, too. Why didn't I think of it" Anggie replied as he scratched his non-itchy head.
"Loe's mind from earlier to the ojek maker. So you can't think where else" seduced Vian with a small smile towards Anggie.
Vian opened the door, apparently Mama was sitting there reading a magazine.
"Hay Ma"
"Hay Aunt" said Anggie.
"Anggie, you haven't been here in a long time, baby. Why don't you come here again" Mami yelled hysterically at the sight of Anggie's arrival at their home.
"I'm sorry Anggie Mami, but Anggie didn't come here for nothing, but Anggie was busy being a Mami" Anggie gave a reason that felt by her very reasonable to Mami Vian.
"You sit here first. We have to tell a story. Mami already misses you very much" said Mami invites Anggie to sit on the sofa of the family room.
"Mommy, Anggie's here to finish the job, not to tell Mami's story"
"Just now Vi" said Mami hoping to be able to have a light chat with Anggie.
"Mommy later yeah, Anggie's done doing Anggie's final job, then we'll tell the story."
"Seriously?" mami asked with great hope to Anggie.
"Seriously" Anggie replied.
"okay"
Mami finally agreed with what Anggie said. Anggie then enters Vian's room. They're gonna do the final job, Anggie, and then they're gonna have a chat with Mami.
