Damar (Not) For Wulan
Wulan was Unsettled

Wulan tried to digest her father's words. But even today, he still could not find the meaning of the covenant bound for life.

"Dad, he said to let them meet tomorrow. I'm even gonna say it now." Suddenly, her mother, who had come out of the bathroom, responded.

"What is this really about? You're hiding something important. Just say it now, Dad, Mom!" Wulan could not help but be curious.

"On Friday only if we meet at the wedding event of the child's best friend Mother. Now let us enjoy the time by taking a break after a long trip."

There was the sound of the door being knocked, Wulan was sure that it was the deliveryman he ordered. Hurry him out of the boarding house. But, who knocked on the door was not the courier but a friend next door.

"Lan, I'm peeing. Numpang bathroom yes, the water in my bathroom is clogged, I turn out the tap there is no water." Wulan's eyebrows are linked.

"Could you do it? Isn't the water flowing one way?"

"The water tap has me in trouble. Can ya?" neighbor Wulan's boarding persuaded.

"Just enter! But, there's my parents inside."

"Just do it." The girl who was the same age as Wulan finally entered and greeted the two Wulan parents.

"Sorry interfering. There's no such thing as Madam Wulan?" Wulan who was about to close the door, closed the door of her room.

"What's up, Mom?" it turns out the guards are looking for.

"Bak pesen food huh? The courier is in front! He said he didn't want to go in because it's a girls' boarding house."

"Oh so, let Wulan go ahead there. Thanks for being told." The girl closed the room door and then stepped towards the boarding gate. He saw a man wearing a crisp jacket in orange.

"Mas, my name is Wulan." The man looked. He was wearing a face mask, so, his face was not clearly visible.

"This is the order, Mother." The man thrust a bag of crackles at Wulan.

"Thank you very much, Mom." Wulan grabbed the crackle and passed away.

He returned to the boarding room, the occupants of the next room turned out to be finished with his wishes in the bathroom. The girl placed a crackle bag on the floor with a mat.

"Eat first. After that, rest for a while. Later that night Wulan take a tour to a place near here. But, just see the tall building." He was grinning wide.

"We're just here to see your face, son. Moreover, it has been six months you have not returned home." The mother who was busy opening the package of food tried to respond to the words of her son.

"Here you go, eat first, ma'am! Talk later." His father mediates chatter.

The three of them finally enjoyed the meal. It didn't take long, the contents of the food box were gone. Only his bones remain.

Because the plan of the parents who stay about four days. Wulan was worried about not being able to entertain them well. Moreover, he had to work because the holiday ration in a week was only one day. The girl is in a dilemma, should she ask for a two-day leave to accompany her parents to attend the event of her best friend.

"Wulan is confused, Mom. Tomorrow, Wulan has to get back to work. How will it be if it is present at the event or reception of his friend Mother." The girl breathed her breath repeatedly.

"You can take a vacation first. Friday and Saturday, so, tomorrow you just ask for his leave. Can you, Son? The day after tomorrow is important to our family, too." It seems like that is the only way for Wulan to attend her mother's best friend's event.

"Guard, try it, Mom." The father just fell silent while enjoying the smoked cigarette. A few times cigarette smoke billows and flies through the air.

At the campus where Damar was an assistant lecturer.

Damar picked up one of tongkrongan's friends. The young man finally managed to keep his promise to survive on a hundred thousand dollars a day for a week. Strugglingly, he finally knew that for some people, a hundred thousand dollars a day was so big. He alone at the beginning of the challenge felt difficult because all this time he always had the pleasure of spending his money on things he liked.

Damar who deliberately took the bus from his home when leaving this morning, is now in his best friend's car.

"Cool too Elu, Mar. Finally could be a frugal guy." His friend who drove the vehicle, chuckled in unexpected amusement about Damar's efforts to survive.

"Where do you want to take this? Cave has to go home, bokap nyokap want to go to the boutique to get the family uniform." Damar did not respond to the words of his best friend.

"Oh my God, I can forget. But it's okay, right? Bokap nyokap Elu right, have a private driver. Why do you have to come?" The man was still focused on looking at the streets.

"He said so we can try the final results of the uniforms that have been made. It's weird that my family is."

"It's natural in my opinion, this is about the event of Muti's sister. Relax ajah first, later after from the cafe, I anterin home before afternoon. It's still one less hour."

Damar did not argue anymore. He sat down and tried to close his eyes for a moment. Today was a big drain.

They disembarked at a nearby Cafeteria of the Jazz Holding company, where one of their friends, became an employee at the company.

They gather for lunch while chatting typical of young men whose chatter is always a matter of boyfriend or girlfriend. While Damar was lazy to respond because he himself was not close to any woman.

At Wulan's workplace.

Wulan's trouble asking for two days leave at the outlet head. Luckily he was allowed to start with a heated debate between the manager and the outlet head. Because this concerns the interests of parents, so, inevitably, the manager also gave permission to Wulan to take leave.

On Friday afternoon, Wulan and her family wore their best clothes to go to the wedding ceremony of the child of her best friend. Wulan was so curious about who her mother's best friend was that they gave her transportation money to her parents. How they are, to the extent that they dare to invite people from the village.

The mother wore the bag that Wulan gave her as a birthday present. The three walked leisurely towards the gate. There was an incoming message heard. The mother snatched the hape in her bag. Read the incoming message just now.

"Gosh my god." Mother Ningsih's eyes widened perfectly reading the message.

"What's up, Mom?" Wulan's father stopped walking. Wulan and her father looked at Ningsih and looked at her.
