Moving cities, starting a new life
"Dek, Brother the public lecture schedule has started next week, so Brother left first yes to Malang. Later in the afternoon my sister took the train" Fahri told me the news that day.
"Ohya.means we shop for boarding equipment first dong kak" replied Tianing.
"No need to.I don't shop there" Fahri replied casually. He did not even think that what Tianing meant was including shopping for Tianing's boarding needs.
"Ohhh.ya already.." said Tianing disappointedly. Fahri's insensitivity to small things like this is what often makes Tianing tired of heart.
The next day Tianing told that to Harya.
"Yeah yuk, I take between Adek shopping needs boarding" Harya entertained excitedly.
"Heh...shopping both ? If anyone sees what ?" tianing said while chuckling.
"Yes, we just buy it in Jogja dong" once again the idea of Harya makes Tianing dumbfounded and glaring.
And sure enough, finally they both went to Jogja for shopping for Tianing boarding needs.
Tianing was overjoyed, as this was the first time he had been able to leave with Harya without having to worry about anyone familiar seeing them, without having to rush back in time to get home soon. The two of them really enjoyed the moment of leisurely shopping.
Sometimes they can hold hands tightly.
"Why does big brother see me like that" asked Tianing, as Harya watched, smiled and looked fixedly at Tianing's movements that were busy picking things up and occasionally asked for Harya's opinion.
" Because I'm happy this afternoon. I hope in the future can often accompany Adek just shopping like this" replied Harya
"Aminn.." Tianing replied with a happy grin.
For Harya and Tianing, even small moments like this become special. They, especially Harya always enjoy and appreciate the slightest moment with Tianing.
A week later, after the public lecture schedule was completed, Fahri went home. After that they began to busy preparing everything to start moving cities. Including preparing the King to stay at the Uti-Kakung house and enroll him to PAUD school.
It was time for Tianing and Fahri to move town to study for a minimum of 1.5. It coincides with the month of Ramadan.
As before, Harya with her ingenious reasoning managed to convince Fahri so that he could escort Tianing. This time the reason is because he was asked to return to Surabaya by his mother. Although Tianing had already said that they were leaving not at the weekend, but Harya was adamant, and she took a leave of absence, in order to be able to escort Tianing.
That morning Tianing drove the King to PAUD school as well as parting. The boy only cried for a while, just like any other child when he entered PAUD school for the first time. After that, he enjoyed working with his teachers and friends. But it was precisely Tianing who could not help his sadness. It was heavy and painful that he had to leave the King. Tianing felt like disobeying the King. But life still has to go forward, not.
"Don't be sad Tianing, because if you are sad the King will feel it, and will make him sad too"
"If it's there, don't think about the King, he will feel it"
"Now don't go home first. Let it be at least a month first, let the King get used to separating from his mother first. Fear if he goes home often he even klayu continues, difficult to separate"
"No need to be called often, afraid he even became a kangen continue to meet"
as soon as the message from his family, made Tianing's heart feel even more sliced.
That morning, accompanied by Tianing sobs, they set out, starting a new life. Both Fahri and Harya were deliberately silent, giving Tianing time to spill his pain of having to separate from the King.
And today's itinerary is to Surabaya used to take Tianing, make sure the needs and arrangement of Tianing boarding are sorted out, then Fahri and Harya stopped by Harya's parents' house, and then to Malang. As it had been rumored before, Harya offered to keep their car for the duration of their lecture, and was ready to take the King if the King wanted to go home to meet Mbah Kakung.
And actually it was just one of the many ideas of the door, so that he could shuttle Tianing also when Tianing went home Solo-Surabaya.
Fahri, who never overthinking just agree, with the consideration he does not need a car in Malang because the distance of the boarding and campus is quite taken by foot less than 10 minutes. The hostel also does not provide car parking. And he felt more comfortable riding the train when commuting Solo-Malang.
During the trip the three of them were more silent. Drifting in each other's minds, imagining how their next life will be.
Tianing was also more rested because a few days earlier he had undergone alternative medicine therapy to remove the cyst that was in his stomach that he had just known when he checked with the obstetrician because he felt discomfort in the her stomach. He decided to undergo alternative medicine because if the surgery, the time is not possible because he must immediately move cities. Meanwhile, if he had to wait to finish college, he was worried that his condition would get worse.
Arriving in Surabaya, the three of them still have to go to the supermarket to shop for items that are still lacking. Setting up the Tianing boarding room. It was time for them to separate.
Fahri hugs and kisses Tianing in front of Harya.
"Good grandfather here. Once a week brother here, or later change Adek to Malang. The next week we go home to Solo" Fahri said. Seemed to be spirited and tried to strengthen Tianing.
Behind Fahri, Harya looked at Tianing bitterly, looking once that he actually did not want to part.
As Fahri walks towards the car, Harya whispers
"I'll see you soon. I'll call you everyday"
Tianing replied with his smile. She waved her hands at her husband Fahri, and her guardian angel Harya.
His heart is mixed, there is sadness, happiness, enthusiasm, worry. She was crying in her new room. He was worried whether his decision was the right one. How will he live his life alone in that city. And what makes him even more sad because this is the month of Ramadan the first time in his life he had to break his fast and eat sahur alone.
To reduce the turmoil of his heart, he busied himself arranging the room. Then he finally got cut and fell asleep.
He sahur alone at night, foraging alone in the early hours to a food stall near his hostel, eating sahur alone. And there's no phone call or just a message from Fahri. Tianing smiled poignantly, trying to enjoy the new life he was about to live. And with Bismillah he steadied his resolve and fought to overcome all his fears and worries. She prepared herself for the morning it started a new life, getting into college as an S2 student.
