Dusk In March
Keychains Give People Sucks

Today Mas Bayu came home from Solo. Yesterday afternoon before leaving he called me to report his return. In my heart I said bodo very, not who I am too.  Haha.

Ting tung's. The doorbell rang

"Who's looking?" Shouted Hesti who was watching television

"Five". Answer the guest in front.

I who was reading the lecture dictatorship immediately put the dictate on the table and took Mas Bayu's phone from the drawer and rushed out of the room to the living room. I didn't see Mas Bayu in the living room, so I walked out. Turns out he's sitting on the patio floor. Seeing me coming he threw a smile. Then waved his hand and gestured for me to sit next to him.

"Where's it?". I charged her after I sat right next to her.

"Newly arrived too. Instead of being asked how the kabanya, tired of what not, even the first souvenirs asked". Sung at. I chuckle.

"You want to get a drink?". I said with a laugh.

"No need. I just want to give you this". He said handing over a paper bag containing something that smelled like bakpia. Kuintip. True allegations. A box of bakpia and a keychain of wood.

"Thank ya". My smile expanded. He smiled back too.

"Yes, I'll go home first". He said as he stood up and corrected the reseleting of his jacket. I'm nodding.

He hustled out the gate and came to his bike, then started his bike and slowly his bike went away from my eyes.

After the departure of Mas Bayu I rushed inside. I can't wait to open it from him. Both with Nesti we enjoy the typical bakpia Solo souvenirs from Mas Bayu. While chewing bakpia I took other souvenirs that are still left in the paper bag. A keychain of wood shaped puppet figures, Arjuna. I smiled watching the hanger.

After full of eating bakpia, I rushed to change clothes and went to campus. Today there is a nutrition practicum and continued with the afternoon until college. I can imagine how tired it is today. Huufft

****

After a grueling practice and lecture yesterday, today is also still followed by a marathon lecture from morning to afternoon. Tired of 2 days. After college I took the time to buy food first at the stall near the entrance hall of my boarding house. Adzan maghrib reverberated right when I arrived at the boarding house. I rushed to shower, pray and have dinner.

At exactly 19:30 after the prayer I lay my body on the bed. Tired and drowsy have mastered, but I can not also close my eyes and sleep. Finally the music custard from my phone wishes I could sleep soon. A song by Yovie n nuno called the sacred promise of shahdu. Instead of sleeping I even hummed slowly while looking at the ceiling of the boarding room in white. Then I remembered the keychain given by Bayu.

With the position still lying I grabbed the keychain shaped puppet figure that I had put on the table beside my bed. I looked at the keychain in the form of Arjuna figures made of wood and smiled. Yes, this character exactly describes the character of the giver, Mas Bayu. Handsome, liked by many girls and play boy maybe. I sniggered to myself.

The yovie song suddenly stopped when a call came in on my phone. I saw the name Mas Bayu written on the screen. I'll pick up the phone immediately.

"Campio". Sapaku while getting up and taking a sitting position cross-legged on the mattress.

"Rim, to the secret now yes. We want a field meeting". The voice of Mas Bayu came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes. I'm waiting for ya". Sahut again.

"But it's night. At 10 o'clock my boarding house is locked. Can't be tomorrow? Fatma came too?". I'm trying to negotiate.

"Yes, this is Fatma here. I'm waiting for ya". He immediately turned off the phone.

I lazily got out of bed. Sebal, it feels lazy to have to go to the secret night-night. Why not tomorrow. Basis Mas Bayu recek. My soul is in my heart.

5-minute walk from my boarding house I was in front of the secret. Because lazy came at last I just groom and wear clothes like that. T-shirts and jeans then jackets. My hair is just a brush. I saw Mas Bayu sitting on the porch playing the guitar. I didn't see Fatma there. Me and Fatma are in the same field in this organization with Mas Bayu as the head of his field. Previously, I and Mas Bayu were not very familiar. But since we were in one field we met more often and did activities together.

"Where's Fatma?". I asked after being right in front of Mas Bayu. He just threw his trademark smile. The smile of the land crocodile I call it. A smile that could dazzle girls, but not me.

"Sit down here first". He said while pulling my hand so that now I was sitting right next to him.

I spread my eyes around. I heard the voices of other friends in the secret but I did not hear Fatma's voice. There are only 3 people sitting on the terrace of the pencak silat secretariat whose building is right next to the secretariat of our organization. So, the building here specifically places the SME secretariat on campus. All sorts of SMEs are here.

"So meeting?". Ask again. Again, Mas Bayu just commented a smile. I'm getting pissed.

"Fatma can't come. Temptation said to run out of practicum until afternoon". Mas Bayu replied while strumming the strings of his guitar.

"Yes the same dong. I'm with Fatma in one class. So yes the same. I'm tired too". My blood started to boil.

"It was supposed to be canceled aja dong meetingnya. Delay tomorrow it can". I continued while removing the hair and then quickly combed the hair with fingers and then tied it again. The air tonight is quite sultry plus the incident tonight it feels more sultry. But Mas Bayu only smiled, occasionally chuckling.

"Yes, I'm going home". I stood up and prepared to go home but Mas Bayu's hand held me back and made me sit back.

"Go home later. Talk here first". He said while putting down the guitar he had been holding.

"What do we do when Fatma doesn't exist". I sat up while standing back up.

"Come here, go home later". He's still rattling and pissing me off.

I'm tired all day from college and practicum. When I was getting ready for a break Mas Bayu called the meeting. Eh once I've been in the secret was not even a meeting. This guy wants to play or whatever. Not funny to know.

I immediately walked out of the secret courtyard with a cocky feeling. I kept walking without looking back. But somehow I wish Mas Bayu would come after me or call me. I have reached the highway but Mas Bayu still let me go.

Uh, why would I expect him to come after me. I shook my head quickly, embarrassed by my own head.

Arriving at the boarding house I immediately entered the room and lay down with a blanket covering my face and my entire body. My heart was still beating fast as a result of walking fast from the secret to the boarding house. Plus while holding back a piece makes my heart beat faster. I closed my eyes to dampen the aggravation of the incident just now. I didn't feel like I was asleep until morning.
