Anesta And Mahesa
Weaved

I often sit in my bedroom, at night. I like to look at the stars. The sky always looks beautiful when the stars are present and radiate the luster of its colors.

Sometimes there are gecko noises accompanying me, and I like to listen to her voice. His voice broke the silence of the night. I think it's like a rhythmic instrument that sounds regular.

If you are lazy to learn, I often do fun activities, counting the sounds of geckos.

"Can" I start counting.

"No"

"Can"

"No"

"Can"

If you stop saying "Can" it feels really good, it means tomorrow I can do my exam.

"Where would you like it if you didn't learn, Nes!".

Sometimes if Dea hadn't slept, she would have screamed from her room. And Muli, the roommate next to Dea's room, would laugh.

"Udah Nes, sleep sleep sleep! It's so bad to count geckos!"

"Ih, the important rest assured!"

"Sleep there, no intention of learning!. Put the book under the pillow, maybe you can enter the writings into your subconscious!". I would usually laugh when I heard Dea nagging.

I admit he studied more than me. His GPA is better and can get scholarships.

Not that my grades are not good, my grades are good and I get scholarships too but the scholarship value is not as big as Dea.

If the gecko stops at the word "No", Dea immediately laughs loudly from his room, and I'm a manyun.

But tonight I just looked at the stars and started typing my script. I am determined that tonight must be finished because tomorrow has been an agreement with the guidance counselor. The gecko that used to accompany me also did not make a sound. Where he went.

Maybe he knows I don't need it tonight. There is only silence. Precisely in times of silence like this usually I can quickly write word for word.

Perhaps this atmosphere also accompanies a writer in writing his work.

I heard Muli's bedroom door say, "Kok hasn't slept Li?"

"Yourselves, why haven't you slept?"

"This is again working on the thesis, finish chapter 1 tomorrow to see the supervisor"

"Oh, yummy dong has started thesis guidance. If I were far away"

"Sit here Li, haven't talked to you in a long time. Keep busy anyway"

"I can't sleep, and then look at you at a glance from the window of my room, again sniffing me out. Since returning from KKN we have never talked to Nes"

"Yes, how are you?"

"Good, healthy dong"

Muli is a boarding friend and one class with us is just another faculty so we rarely meet. Most passersby on campus or in a closet.

We used to hang out together, even I also often went out muter-muterin town with the same management Muli. He's got fun and exciting friends.

After KKN we have not even spoken, kangen also chat with this cableak.

Muli and Dea, two very different people. Dea is more serious and her jokes are crisp but she's the kind of friend you'll look for when you want to tell her all your problems. But Muli never wanted to confide in Dea, she was always looking for me. He said "Si Dea is too serious, I don't fit Nes"

So at the cost of three people, outside the boarding house, we are solid residents and very well. We never fought even though we had different traits.

"How are you doing Bayu?".

Bayu is his girlfriend Muli who is also close to us and sometimes we also hang out together. Bayu, it was a rather dark skin complete with shoulder-length hair, which instead made it look handsome in my opinion. He's a typical wayward guy but not the wayward that leads to that crime huh, I think he's a very nice guy and said Muli he's very gentle.

He's the kind of guy who'll open the car door for you, walk around holding your hand or hugging your shoulder. The man who will give you flowers on your happy day, well that's how it is. Muli loves Bayu very much.

"I think Bayu's fine, Nes"

"Lho, how do I feel?", I feel something strange about his statement.

"We haven't been with Nes since before KKN. We broke up"

What kind of friend am I to the point of not knowing if there is a grieving friend. I just kept quiet. There was a long gap between us.

There was sadness in her tone, it might be hard for Muli to part with Bayu.

"You'll know the status of Bayu's widower son one, all this time I never told my mother. I'm not ready for Nes"

"One time, my mom was like begging me to tell me about someone who was close to me. I finally told you about Bayu. I think it's time I told you before you finally found out from someone else"

"So my mom said she didn't agree with my choice. I got used to doing whatever my mom wanted, finally giving in. Maybe Bayu wasn't meant for me"

"It's hard for me to part with Bayu, I know he does too. He's a man I've never seen cry as long as I'm close to him. No matter how hard it was, I was used to seeing her strong and always smiling, and yesterday I saw her crying"

"I also find it difficult to part with Genta his son. We were too close, I was like a substitute for his dead mother. That's the hardest thing Bayu feels".

"My decision is already round Nes, how heavy I'm sure we can get through it. Bayu will meet someone else who can replace me, as well as me"

I held her hand, braced herself.

"I'm okay, Nes. After almost two months I'm getting used to it without Bayu"

"Why don't you fight for your love?"

"How is it? My mom in another town, Bayu here how did they meet and you get to know Bayu?"

"It's not easy, Nes, I already know my mama very well. I'm sure you'll never agree"

I heard Muli take a deep breath, then she looked at me.

"I better give up Nes, let me cry not my mama. Mama would want the best for me Nesta"

"Yes, I slept first. I've been bothering you, haven't I?"

"It's okay. If one day you want a story, you can tell me. As usual"

"Yes, thank you Nes for listening to me. Hopefully all your script business can be smooth yes. I just want to start so maybe we can't graduate together like our old ideals"

"What matters is that you keep the spirit Li!"

He smiled and left me.

I wander in my own. "Our path is not easy Mahesa".
