The night wind blew so fiercely through the cracks of the windows. Cold air gets deeper into the pores. Gendhis pulled the blanket to cover part of his body.
In his room, Gendhis was still unable to close his eyes. Somehow the uncomfortable feeling in his heart because of Riko's treatment last afternoon was still imagined. For a moment he thought, what Riko did was wrong, but a little he understood, it was not easy for Riko to be able to do such a thing. Just like him, he had to risk his pride in front of everyone just to save Gendhis from the latitude treatment. The anger of Gendhis began to soften.
When you want to reply to Riko's message, the phone that is still in his hand also rings. He saw the name "Pak Gala" calling him.
"Sir Gala? What's the phone gini night for?" gendhis said in astonishment just before he picked up his phone.
👇Gendhis
"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..."
👇Gala
"Waalaikum... Dis, sorry to interrupt nights. Can I talk to you for a second?"
👇Gendhis
"Yes, sir... What's the matter?"
👇Gala
"Eeemmm... Can I ask you a favor?"
👇Gendhis
"Sir Gala, ask for my help? But for what, sir?"
Gendhis was a little astonished at heart. These nights are there, the telephone lecturer asked the student for help? Weird...!!! Think Gendhis.
👇Gala
"So gini. I had a college in Singapore, he was from Indonesia and he lived in Semarang. This will still be a college holiday, Nah. next week the plan he wants to come to Magelang. He is also a lecturer at the 1st campus of PKN STAN. He really wants to go to the top of Sumbing because reportedly, Sumbing has many tourist attractions that are booming. The only problem is that I don't know much about it because I haven't been there myself. Eeemm... can I ask for your help to make our anterin around the top?"
Gala said long x wide like being guided thesis on campus.
Riko's in the next room, by the way,
He kept looking at his phone. He was more upset because Gendhis never returned his message, even if he saw he was online. Riko had tried to hold back as hard as possible, but yes that was Riko. Not Riko's name if not spontaneously follow his heart. Finally, by gathering all the courage, Riko decided to call Gendhis.
"My Sweety" as soon as Riko gave Gendhis the name on her phone.
After struggling to muster up the courage, when he was on the phone, uh. appeared the words, "In another call." That means Gendhis is calling someone.
"Gendhis malem-malem gini who's the same phone?" said Riko lirih.
Undeniably, there was a bit of worry in him. He wondered, at nine o'clock in the evening, who did Genphis call? Apparently, Riko was getting jealous of the girl he called his fiancee in front of all the reunion participants. Riko knows, if it turns out that his favorite brother is looking for a way to chat with Gendhis.
Back to the next room.
Gala was still waiting for an answer from Gendhis. A moment later, Genghis replied.
👇Gendhis
"Oh.. about that... God willing, I can, hopefully there are no obstacles."
"Alhamdulillah... uh. I mean, thank you in advance because you've been willing to take your time."
Gala seemed unable to hide her happy expression because Gendhis was willing to help her.
👇Gendhis
"Yes, sir..."
👇Gala
"If so, I hang up. Assalamu'alaikum...."
👇Gendhis
"Good, Sir... The waalaikumsalam."
The conversation ended.
"Yeeeesss....!" gala said happily.
Gala knew exactly, Gendhis was a good girl and a high social spirit. He can't resist when someone else needs his help. Moreover, it concerns the area around where he lives. Plus, the teacher who needs help. Without the slightest suspicion, Genphis must have been trying to help him.
Gala was relieved after a few minutes to hear the voice of Gendhis even though only by phone. He felt the longing that he had been craving since this holiday became a little treatable. He became impatient, wanting to spend Sundays so that he could meet with Gendhis soon.
"Riko...! You haven't slept?" gala approached her sister.
The voice surprised Riko who was drifting in curiosity.
"Eh... Brother Gala. Not yet, Riko is not sleepy. Gala herself hasn't slept?" Riko asked back.
"Sister is also not sleepy, so the way out of the room. I thought you were asleep." said Gala.
"Why? Looks like your face is too big. What's the problem?" ask Gala.
Riko just smiled with half of her lips because she didn't know what to say. Yes, he said again jealous? Even jealous with anyone Riko does not know, how to tell a story.
"No papa, brother." replied Riko flatly.
"Remain sure..no papa? Or... lest-don't.. This is about the Sweetie huh?" gala Goda. He did not know that the Sweet One that Riko had been referring to as his royal girl was Gendhis.
"Lhoh... sister can know?" ask Riko to her brother who managed to laugh at her turmoil.
"Yaaa.. Yes you know! Is there any other problem that can make you unable to sleep other than Sweet? Even if your thesis title is not in the same acc Miss Alena you still can sleep soundly. Brother is right?" guess Gala.
Riko smiled as she said, "No Gala can..."
The two were silent for a moment until Riko said again,
"So Gala was right. I've made Sweet angry and upset, to the point that she didn't reply to my message, didn't pick up my phone. Even though I have tried to explain it to her, she is still angry" said Riko with a tone of regret.
Gala tried to comfort her sister as strongly as she could.
"Riko. You realize you've made a mistake. And you've tried to explain, even apologize. If he prefers to be quiet, it means he needs time to digest your mistakes and explanations. So. give him time. Let him calm his mind first so he can think clearly. If her anger is gone, I'm sure she's sorry for you and is talking to you again." Gala tried to strengthen her sister, while patting the back of her sister who was sitting down while lowering her face.
"That's very true Gala said. No one understands me better than brother." replied Riko felt her heart slightly improved hearing Gala's words.
Gala understands very well the nature of her only sister who has the nature as it is, can not see others hurt, even she can do anything to defend others if indeed she is not guilty. In addition Gala also knew that her sister likes to spontaneously follow her heart in action, and that also sometimes makes Gala a little worried.
"Oh yeah, by the way, how's the Sweetie doing. I haven't heard your story about him since you went to college." asked Gala.
"Yaaa. Still struggling for her to accept Riko." replied Riko.
"Oh yeah? Abstinence also turned out..emang you are not afraid of his fiancee?" ask Gala.
"No longer brother, because he has broken up with his fiancee" replied Riko briefly.
"Wwuuuiiiih. mantabbb.. pantesan, if you observe you ahir-ahir this looks more excited." said Gala.
Riko was smiling again.
"Yes, shoot him.. later on someone else...!" Gala.
"The bird was shot? Gala can. Yes bentar dong Kak, use rhythm." replied Riko.
"Wwuuuiiiih.tumben Riko road wear rhythm. Usually immediately lunge." joked Gala.
"This time is another brother, he's his type does not like the blunt. It must be with full feeling." said Riko.
"Yahhh, whatever it is, what matters is that you are happy! Yes, my brother is getting sleepy. Go back to the room first...!" pamit Gala while crooked from her seat and walked out of her sister's room.
"Viiiaappp... Sis!" riko replied while looking back at her phone. He saw a conversation from Gendhis.
"Oh... Gendhis has already replied to my message." said Riko then with a thumping chest opened the message from Gendhis which contained it.
^^^Gendhis^^
^^^"Waalaikumsalam... Allah is Oft-Forgiving, why not men? I've forgiven Mas Riko. Thank you for trying to save me."^^^
^^^Riko^^
^^^"Thank you so much Dis. From now on I promise I won't make you angry again."^^^
And that conversation ended just like that. However, Riko was very happy. At least the chance for him to approach Gendhis was getting wide open.
