“Arga, sit first yuk, no longer rush ‘kan?”
“Sorry, Aunt. I'm going straight home,”
“Why not sit down first? Where's Abis from here? Directly home?”
“Iya, Mama has been waiting,”
Argantara was too lazy to interact too much with Shelina and her parents so she wanted to go home quickly even though Shefia invited her to sit first in the living room. She used her mother as an excuse. And it worked.
“Okay be careful then yes, Son,”
“Iya, Aunt. I'm going home, Assalamualaikum,”
“Waalaikumsalam, be careful yes,”
“Yes, Aunt,”
After delivering Shelina home safely, Argantara met Shefia who was sitting in the front yard of the house. Now Argantara drove his car home.
“Males so much I talk to Shelina or nyokapnya. Mending me straight home, keep resting,”
*******
“Where is the story that you can go home with Argantara, Shel? Arga ngajakin you?”
“Iya, Ma,”
“Mama thought you were sure to go home together,”
“Ngak, Mom. I was going home with my two friends. Well but Arga called me and nawarin came home together. So yeah, I went home with Arga,”
“Eh how was your first day on campus? Happy no?”
Shelina did not immediately rush to her room because she was invited to chat by her mother, and she had no problem responding. He was even happy when his days were questioned by his parents. It is a sign that he is being noticed. Her parents wanted to hear her stories.
“Alhamdulillah my friends on very good with me, they are not arrogant that, Ma. The first time I met them, no one frowned, everyone smiled, kept talking. But what I often make sure I talk, rarely stop it two friends I'm right left, his name is Lifa same Tita, Ma. They are very fun, my days will be very colorful after meeting them,”
“Ih sometime recognize dong to Mama,”
“Iya can, Ma. Later next time I ajakin they play here yes, so Mama can know them as well, can value themselves. Everything is good, just like me, Mama said. I shouldn't have to worry because the kids at that college, especially in class I'm all on good,”
“Tuh ‘kan what Mama said. So don't worry too much about the real thing that isn't necessarily happening, son. As long as you are good, believe that there will be good people with you,”
“Keep if Arga himself how?”
“Which way, Ma?”
“He's not a good friend to you?”
Without the slightest hesitation Shelina directly nodded her head. It is impossible to tell the truth about Argantara.
Shelina believes Argantara is actually good, it's just that Argantara is taking time to adapt to his presence in Argantara life. Given their encounter the effect is quite sudden, rigidly betrothed as well.
“Well, Ma. Arga was very kind to me. He helped me find a class so I didn't have to bother to meet my class,”
But the truth is not like that. Shelina searches for her class alone, and relies on her mouth to ask the students she meets throughout the class search.
“How important is your sandwich? Eaten the same Arga?”
“No, Ma,” that sentence just reached the tip of the tongue, did not succeed Shelina hurled. The two words alone did not succeed in ejecting, let alone a lengthy explanation of the moment where Argantara deliberately used high speed when driving his car, he said, plus Argantara threw away the box of food containing the sandwich that He deliberately gave to Argantara but Argantara refused with his stead when Argantara could reject it in a good way without the need to hurt Shelina who was already injured because while on the way, Argantara scared him half to death, Argantara like deliberately trapping him in his own trauma.
“Honey, the sandwich is eaten the same Arga not?”
“Took, Ma. Even out, and I'm really happy,”
“Wah Alhamdulillah then. Mama was happy to hear it. Did you eat your own sandwich?”
“Eat, I share also my friends, keep me also snack deh,”
“Argantara happy you love sandwich?”
“He is happy, Ma,”
“So you want to give him food again tomorrow?”
“Hmm...not yet known, Ma,”
“Kayaknya do not need to, because you become complicated early in the morning, besides you ‘kan do not know yes taste Arga tuh kayak how. Not that Mama is stingy, but she's afraid it doesn't suit Arga's taste,”
“Iya, Ma,”
“Some of me is still traumatized, Ma. Don't know when to dare again prepare food for Arga,” continued Shelina in her heart.
