Clandestine
The Hospital

I say goodbye to friends who are still busy with their respective activities. I walk in the parking lot of the motor delivered mas zio.

"I hope there is nothing you hide from me" said mas zio with a worried look. I sat on my bike and stared silently at Mas zio.

"about Joseph again?" mas zio nodded "you know me mas, there is no one I hide from you or friends. Is the fact as I told you this afternoon or you just ask Rina" said I reassured.

"No need for arka I believe in you" said mas zio holding both of my shoulders and I replied with a relieved smile.

"Are you coming home saying no to me?" suddenly Genta appeared from the door with a stagger because he just woke up.

"And you sleep gene. I don't feel good about waking you up"

"You go home carefully on the street, let me take care of this child" whispered mas zio quietly to me and I greeted by giving my right thumb.

"i'm your anter, ar?" bargain with me

" Let's go in there's something I have to say" said mas zio pulling the clapper inside while winking at me.

"don't we talk tomorrow just I want to intersect the arka home first" the voice of a small debate between mas zio and genta who began to wander because they had entered the house we used to call headquarters.

Actually with a heavy heart I left my friends because they were the ones I could laugh for a moment happily forgetting my barrel wounds. I have to go back to a house full of emptiness. I just remember about 8 days not meeting Dad even though just to say hello.

Maybe now I get home Daddy's asleep and the next morning I wake up.

I put on my jacket and helmet to get home. Tracing the streets of Surabaya which is still crowded with people passing by on the road. Shops have begun to close leaving coffee shops and some busy street residents looking for a livelihood in this big city.

Street lights that shine brightly interlinked to make the mind calm and take him hovering somewhere. For a moment I was carried away by the calmness of heaven by the night wind but immediately I was jolted back into reality when the figure of Mama crossed my mind. I plugged the gas so that I could quickly get home and soon sleep eliminate the figure of Mama who again disturbed my mind.

My bedroom window is wide open. I saw it was 10 o'clock past. I drank some cold milk, maybe it was prepared by Lastri in the morning. Actually I had set the alarm at 8 but I did not realize just waking up to turn it off and then going to sleep again.

I opened my phone hoping for some good news that today's class was empty. It turns out that there are several motives, one of which from the class group reported that there was no class today. I shifted down there were motives from the clapper, mas zio and risma. There was another one that I did not expect a motive from Yusuf. I hurriedly opened it out of curiosity.

"have you gone home arka?" at 00:30

"where is class going today?" 07:14 o'clock

"i'd like to take you to a bookstore who knows you have a reference reading for me." at 09:22

All her chats at different hours were as if she was waiting for me to reply to her chat. I thought hard about this, what does Joseph mean to behave like this. It's out of the ordinary in my opinion that I say friends are afraid to even bring all organizations. If I follow the game is too dangerous if it is me who is interested in the flow.

I arrived at the cafeteria at half 12. Tired of feeling every day to be in contact with the heat of Surabaya. I looked around looking for my friends and none of them were in the cafeteria.

I checked the group to confirm their whereabouts. I just remembered there were some notifications that I had not responded to including a message from Yusuf that I had read from the morning but had not responded to.

I asked the position of mas zio, genta and Risma it turns out they still have class and Rina is also still in the boarding house. I replied to Yusuf's message and told him I was in the cafeteria by myself, and then from approaching he was on the floor but inside.

"You don't have an arc class?" I shook my head not knowing why every time I spoke to Joseph I spoke a little.

He sat in front of me while putting his laptop on the desk. I just remembered that Joseph was a 6th semester student who should not have been directly involved in organizational affairs because he had to prepare his script. But I don't know if he plans to graduate later.

"what is it that Joseph behaves like that to me?" ask me to the point.

"what do you think you are?" ask him back while taking a deep breath.

"I understand that our relationship is limited to political communication. Mumpung has not been done in I think the attitude of mas Yusuf is not natural." Joseph looked puzzled to answer perhaps this was too sudden for him

"I understand which way the arka talks. If you want to come with me for a while I can explain." I followed him to the parking lot. He hinted to just ride his bike. I think because of curiosity and was was was if Joseph did a bad thing.

During the trip Yusuf did not speak anything and I was also just silent.I took the time to tell mas zio to stand by HP if I need anything. Just in case Joseph did anything bad.

Joseph stopped at the flower shop and bought a few white roses. I thought it was impossible to give it to me it was true he wrapped it up and stuffed it into a bag.

We entered the elite housing that I know so well this place because Mama's house is in this housing. But I rarely play maybe once a year. Fortunately, Joseph did not pass through the block of Mama's house. We stopped at a white paint house that looked very quiet. There are only a few workers who are busy with their respective activities.

Yusuf parked his garage and looked at some collection of luxury cars and motorcycles that were neatly arranged just for possible display. I followed Joseph towards home and was greeted by middle-aged mothers kindly.
