Dusk In March

Dusk In March
Nitip Mobile


As he said last night on the phone, Mas Bayu actually came to my boarding house. He waited in front of the gate while sitting on his motorbike. Wearing a jacket and gloves, a backpack on his back, a helmet and a slayer as a half-face cover to avoid dust, Mas Bayu looks cool with his appearance this morning. Judging from the way his makeup shows that he will indeed tour far. I didn't think he was going to Solo on a motorcycle. I was still in my nightgown and had not taken a shower when I met him at the entrance of the boarding gate. He opened the glass of his helmet and lowered the slayer that had covered his nose to the bottom of his chin. His smile grew as I approached him.


"Now, titp first yes. Please save". He said handing me the phone.


"Well, why are you signed with me? Why not bring it in anyway?". I'm confused.


"Sir papa. Save aja. If there's a phone call, pick up. Not locked either. So if there is a text read no papa". He said relax while laughing.


I turned back the white cheek object that was currently in my grasp. Then look at the figure of the man who was still sitting on the motorcycle.


"This cellphone is the same as me, Mas Bayu uses what phone?". Much


He looked like he was pulling a cell phone out of his jacket pocket and showed it to me.


"This is my phone. The phone I used to wear". He said, shaking the phone in front of me.


"That's my phone, too. But I rarely wear it". Further again.


"Bad phone? Make flirting girls?". My ledek followed by a chuckle from him.


"Yes already. I'm goin. Want to get a nitip by what?". Ask me while putting the slayer back on and fixing the helmet.


"Yes, get on the bike. But same with Rayhan. Later replace the same nyetirnya Him. Here I'm gonna go pick her up at her house".


Mas Bayu and Mas Rayhan, Ma'am Retno's girlfriend is indeed familiar. Mas Rayhan is also an alumni of our organization since 3 years ago. From that organization also Mbak Retno knew and eventually dated Mas Rayhan.


I nodded at Mas Bayu's reply. Then he immediately started his bike and drove away from my boarding house while throwing his smile.


Careful. I said half a whisper when the bike had driven out the alley and his back was no longer visible. I immediately went inside and took a shower to prepare to go to campus. Finished changing clothes there is an incoming message in my class WA group.


Nutrition College is empty today. Kesling's lecture is also empty replaced tomorrow afternoon at 8 am. As soon as the contents of the message sent by the class leader in the WA group. Some friends responded to the message with various emoticons and message replies. Some cheered, some sent dancing emoticons, and many others showed that they were very happy all day there was no college. I who already wear neat clothes have to change clothes again. T-shirts and shorts, the most comfortable costume when in boarding. This morning the boarding house was quiet, because the other friends were in college. Hesti had even left from 6am this morning. So I decided to just collapse.


I looked at the mobile phone from Mas Bayu lying next to me. While sleeping I took it and shifted the screen of the phone. My soul is excited, curious about its contents. But my heart says I can't just open someone else's phone without permission. Ah, stupid, I ended up tracing one by one the contents of the phone.


The first thing I opened was the gallery. There are only selfies of Mas Bayu, photos with his friends and photos with his family. Eits, wait a minute. There's a picture I know at the bottom. The photo of the cute veiled girl I know from the red cross organization as well. In the organization he was a class with me, but was not active because of his college activities. Yeah, it's a picture of Sinta, who she says is her ex-boyfriend now. I'm flicking my lips. He still has a picture of his ex-girlfriend.


Search continues to green apps. There were some messages from Sinta. Old messages that may not have time Mas Bayu delete. I haven't had time or I don't want to, I don't know. The message was sent a month ago. The contents ask to buy a pulse, if you want to go home to Magetan - Sinta's house and order nitip buy food. It's just the green social media app on that phone. While sms only contains messages from the operator. Oh, my God, why did I become this woman. I hurriedly turned off the phone screen and placed it in my desk drawer so that my kepikku soul would not be more turbulent.


Just in the afternoon before Maghrib Mas Bayu sent me a message, telling me that He and Mas Rayhan have arrived in Solo. They stayed at Bude Mas Rayhan's house in Solo. Uh, by the way, why is he telling me? Brother no, what other girlfriend. We weren't just ordinary friends all this time. Or maybe he likes it the same... Stop Rima's. You don't think shit. My heart speaks for itself. Okay, I can't think weird. I'm the same Mas Bayu just a friend. Forever just friends.
