I Don't Understand
Near?

It has been three days since the incident Raksa who came out suddenly from class, the Arganta man still has not entered the campus.

"strangely tumben once Raksa truant for no reason for three days anyway" said Arin, they are now gathering in the university cafeteria.

"there is a reply from Raksa jer?", Resha turned to the man who was sucking avocado juice beside him. Jerry shook his head since then Raksa is difficult to connect even Jerry has been mopping chat, but there is no reply from Raksa. like in the swallow of the earth so Raksa now. disappeared without a trace and news.

"may instead of you being in an office you should know dong better" Harvin said, pointing at Mayla with a straw of lemonade. Mayla shakes

"he won't be in the office because his schedule is WFH, our schedule is different even though there are some of the same" said Mayla. actually Mayla is not so dizzy with the attitude of Raksa just the way Raksa disappeared is very strange.

raksa usually never disappears during this time. The attitude of Dimas did not show any strangeness at all maybe because of the busyness that seized because of the andromeda event in the office until Dimas did not remember his biological sister? that's obviously impossible.

the existence of people who have always been with us since the first suddenly disappeared must bring up a question let alone this Dimas Raksa's older brother. from there Mayla concluded that Raksa was fine only maybe now Raksa is in a condition that is not possible for everyone to know.

'but why should it disappear all this time'— Mayla thought.

"at the black hole sucker of the Mercury" Mario exclaimed from his side table,

"from the thought of Raksa mending think this abis class bu Andara can die us if there is no Raksa, who wants to go ahead?" said Arin then made some of his faculty students, who heard and knew bu Andara shuddered in horror.

"stay prepare the coffin, we die together" cried Mario who brought laughter anyone.

"white flag yo!, we surrender congregation" after Harvin while brandishing the right and left tisue likening the flag in question.

"he said that you are pregnant again pray that there is nothing to be in class" said Jerry who was welcomed by all students there.

"eh let's go in and hurry, Andara's mom is late for a second. tell her to close the door from the outside" said Resha.

Surely right when they entered the class some goods bu Andara was already inside waiting for her people to come.

"it's true" exclaimed Mario while pointing at the lecturer's desk.

"Crazy lecturer" followed him as he stepped towards the bench beside Jerry.

It has been almost two hours of lessons Bu Andara has not yet come. they have been waiting very was was, considering that like this suddenly their beloved lecturer did a quiz. makes almost all students heart attack.

"surely the lecturer suddenly said, close the book you guys keep down, we quiz!" said Mario while demonstrating how bu Andara said.

"but if the lecturer was observed why not ever absent yes" said Harvin

"if absent means the sun rises from the west" after Mario, laughing.

"the end of the rhino dong" said Jerry who had just listened.

"so long Jer the Raksa there are no three days, Mayla aja that every day near Raksa rich twins. relaxed" said Harvin turned to Jerry while pointing at Mayla.

Mayla whose name is called turning, if you think it is also Mayla and Raksa is close but not why it feels far away. Mayla never knew the activities of the Raksa and vice versa. exchanging news as usual.then what close meaning do they mean?

Classes that had been rowdy in a moment of silence, along with the doorknob that was turned from the outside. the heartbeat of each student was racing, and, all pairs of eyes were fixed towards the door waiting with curious whether it was true that the person behind the door was Youara ma'am.until right when the door was opened, simultaneously in their hearts they count down ready to surrender or even die together.

"stretched" a familiar voice went on the air, and there Raksa stood leaning against the door.

"RAKSA" said all the students almost simultaneously, while the youngest Arganta began to step towards the bench next to Jerry. throw his bag origin then read the book as usual. ignoring the questions that come out of the mouth of every student in the class.

"for three days where?" jerry asked just as Raksa got to his seat without taking his eyes off the book Raksa replied.

"there's"

"there is a duty" said Arin,

"hm"

"oh yeah you're with Jerry" Resha said.

"okay"

"do not be friends with jaelangkung sa, so gini come not to be picked up home not on the shuttle" said Mario.

"hm", the focus of Arganta's men was still on the reading book, answering the question he was throwing at him. The arrival of Raksa to the classroom seems to be a hero who is ready to sacrifice his soul and body to become the victim of the killer lecturer bu Andara.

while Mayla the woman is still at home to be a listener at all does not throw a question to the Arganta man who is now staring at her.

...•••...

Whether it's a habit or what Mayla always secludes herself, sitting alone on the bench in front of the minimarket edge of coffee yuk! Cafe, just to sip the canned coffee is so favorite while enjoying free wifi. The close word that Mario said jokingly just kept asking Mayla, she remembered the conversation with Arsaka three days ago.

"do you like Raksa?"

"it's not like you're close to Raksa",

" the doldrums of Jer the Raksa there are no three days, Mayla alone is every day near Raksa rich twins relaxed"

a short conversation that puts different nearby meanings close does not mean like it, not everyone close because they like each other. anyway, why until this moment Mayla still can not forget Rega.

"why alone?" , a question flew from a man who was now standing in front of him.

'yes god lived a long life'

"ka Rega's? what are you doing?" mayla asked, Rega pointed out a crackle while saying

"out of the minimarket" he answered. Mayla was silent for a while she couldn't digest her brain properly - why she always couldn't lengthen the conversation if it was with Rega.

'maybe ka Rega has superpowers can paralyze people' —think Mayla. because for whatever sake he can only stare at Rega from now until now Rega sat in the front seat was Mayla still silent.

"oh yes may you are busy not saturday afternoon, plan I want to take you away

"go where?" after Mayla fast, because it is rare for a Galvino Rega to take Mayla away, oh she seems to have just been lifted into the air because Rega asked her to go on a date.

"you know you're dying for a birthday, well I want you to choose a gift for mamah because it's just you who are closest to mamah" said Rega. instantly make Mayla know why can't resist a smile.

"but that was you, now I haven't even had time to visit the mamah ka Rega cake shop" replied Mayla, because of the busy work and the campus Mayla did not have time to visit the mamahnya Rega store, which she did, though he had promised his mother Rega this weekend after visiting his mother Mayla will stop by the store.

"just the same, what's the difference then and now" said Rega while laughing showing dimples that why add handsome to the master.

'God is quite up here alone, please pull yourself this on reality' —Rega with dimples can make him the 3rd person in the relationship of that prepubescent man. Mayla shook her head to release the thought that if it was too deep to bring Mayla into it.

'no more'

"may you're still here, right?" ask Rega while swinging her hand in front of Mayla's face.

"ah yes ka, why not the same Ka Aruna" asked Mayla, cursed herself who is now calling her own heartache.

"iya used to want to be the same Aru but he can't because there is an event" replied Rega, making Mayla who was on the air now has fallen to land in reality. imaginary babydoll song was played.

"oh yeah ka, I'll send you" a spontaneous answer that Mayla doesn't even think about over and over.

Rega nodded with a smile, adding a sweet impression on his handsome face, at first he did not intend to invite Mayla but notah why the words came out naturally when he saw Mayla sitting alone in front of the minimarket. he did not even ask permission or invite Aruna at all because it had been two days Aruna inhabited him, just because of their small quarrel.

Where Aruna who always questioned his closeness to Mayla. For Rega proximity to Mayla naturally there is nothing strange as a brother and sister but why Aruna should bring up the debate at that time.

"near.. like sister" replied Mayla as if. Rega was silent.There was really nothing wrong with their closeness.

"you're right, I first have business. Your coffee makes me yes" said Rega, leaving Mayla clueless.but before she threw a question, before she threw a question, Rega had already replaced the coffee that Mayla had drunk a mouthful earlier with a panda cingcau that she left at the table.Mayla was gawking until the former Rega chair has now been filled Raksa, Raksa, Mayla is still unconscious.

"tumben bought a panda cingcau" asked Raksa just as he was sitting in front of Mayla, Mayla's view spontaneously falling on the panda cingcau now on her desk.

"sa"

"hm"

"what do you think the word near means?" mayla asked, her gaze could not be separated from the can of panda cingcau earlier. Raksa was silent for a moment after he said

"close in what sense? there are many, close friends, friends, family, brother sister, or.boyfriend.many close meanings try to be more specific" asked Raksa turned towards Mayla.

"what do you think we're close to?" mayla asked, making Raksa frown.

"what do you think it's like?" instead of answering Raksa instead voiced a question adding Mayla was confused.

"ck come on, let's go in a minute class starts" Raksa said his goal was to meet Mayla indeed want to take her to class.

"you have no intention of asking me? or why didn't I come in yesterday?" ask Raksa on their way to class. Raksa thought Mayla would send a message or at least ask why she had not been in class for almost three days, but apparently her phone was full of notifications Jerry asking for news.

"i have, but forgot not sent when I check sa" replied Mayla, Raksa turned to sigh while shaking her head because only Mayla's mind that Raksa could not predict.

"whatever"

...•••...

a woman in a black hoodie pushes the door minimarket 24 hours.he Mayla.

Mayla immediately walked to the noodle rack after taking the grocery basket because she felt she would shop quite a lot, then put some noodles, sauce and instant spices into it. after that he walked to the place where the drinks took bottles of mineral water, coffee and milk cold box.it was felt that it was finished with his needs Mayla turned around to go to the cashier before someone's hand outstretched blocking the road.

'this watch', why this watch looks familiar in his view now. Not because this watch is used because it is cheap, but he knows who the owner of this watch. He's Arseno Mayla's superior.

But it seems that Arseno did not realize it, the man focused on choosing a drink in front of him. Without caring about Mayla, until for a few seconds the two met.

"Mayla/pak Arseno" said the two simultaneously.

"What is Mr Arseno doing here?" Mayla is self-defeating, for raising rhetorical questions to her superiors that have clearly been answered with her boss at the drink stand.

'hopefully he understands what I mean'

"buy this, how much of it is noodles?" said Arseno brandished a bottle of tea while her chin was directed to a shopping cart filled with five instant noodles and 2 cup noodles.

'i mean the father's cowboy near my kosan' wants it to feel like he's sounding.

"oh yes sir. I want, kebetuan I want to brew cup noodles if I want to make two servings?" mayla asked Mayla, actually Mayla was a little hesitant to offer her boss, considering three days ago she got a rejection from her boss, but unexpectedly Arseno nodded.

"i wait in front yeah", Mayla nodded. in less than five minutes the cup noodles were both so.

"sorry sir a little longer, it's about paying first" said Mayla, while keeping two cups of noodles on the front desk minimarket and put a grocery bag next to her seat. Arseno nodded while storing her bottle tea.

"no papa may, anyways I'm not in a hurry" said arseno turned to look at him.

they were silent for a few seconds no one intended to open their voice. Prefer to enjoy the view of each. when night falls the lights belonging to skyscrapers will light up giving a simple beautiful word.

"the shellac was eaten with noodles nnti ngembang not tasty?"said Mayla pointed to the noodles that Arseno had stirred earlier, while she had even emphasized with her sauce.

"the right time if left too long to grow?" asked Arseno while spooning her noodles but she never ate.

"sorry mr emang has never eaten cup noodles rich in gini or instant noodles perhaps?" ask Mayla again. Arseno was silent is not ever more precisely is rare, because the maid in her house rarely provides instant noodles apalgi in a cup like this.

"rarely" , once again Mayla was shocked by Arseno's reply she almost choked with her drink? so other than Coffee he also never ate instant noodles? Of all the people that Mayla met, there are still people who have not felt the pleasure of instant noodles. What is the news with him that sometimes makes instant noodles as a staple food.

" Eh don't sir if you never later you don't like" said Mayla just when Arseno was about to bribe his noodles.well indeed seen from his clothes alone Arseno from the top, Arseno was from the top, no wonder if his boss was rarely or never even felt instant noodles according to him the food of a thousand people.

"not papa anyways I laper" said Arseno again feed the noodles, chew it relaxed. while Mayla was afraid her boss was sick stomach or worse convulsions.

"sir if you have stomach pain or convulsions what about sir?" mayla asked, involuntarily inviting laughter at Arseno.

"not going to May, just calm down" he said, right after that the cry of a small child on the air pulled Arseno immediately up.

"the father's champ is awake" said Arseno holding a small child and holding it in his lap. Mayla blinked she remembered when Arseno was first acquainted,

"and I've become a widower",

'one child?'

Mayla's view can not be separated from Arseno and the little boy in the lap of his superior.

"may thank you, it seems my son was sleepy again earlier he woke up because I was out of the car. Shall I take you home?" asked Arseno, Mayla was still silent for some reason.

"don't get my kosan close" Mayla subtly refused.

"you can't tell me I haven't changed the noodle money that was, come-- uh but wait may you can buy powdered milk for my son inside. the brand is free because Rehan is not fussy" said Arseno, because he had a little trouble spending money because his son is now sleeping on his lap. Mayla nodded.

just as Mayla was about to pay, the cashier's guard said

"i don't think I'm married yet, not yet in college"

"hah" and Mayla gawking confusedly.

Arseno decided to deliver Mayla he also did not forget to replace the money used earlier, after Arseno's car left Mayla now shocked by the arrival of a motorcycle.

"from where?" ask Arsaka the motorist who just turned off the engine.

"minimarket" answered Mayla soberly.just now he remembered Arsaka now the person he remembered was in front of him.

'it looks like tomorrow-tomorrow I don't remember it'

"hay, why silence again anyway" said Arsaka confused.

"what's up? why here?" ask Mayla who is still jingking her groceries.

"no other questions?" asked Arsaka, now the swadewa man is already leaning on his bike.

"what do you think the word close means" said Mayla why the question crossed her mind considering that Raksa did not answer it.

"near" Arsaka parroted, Mayla nodded as the woman kept her shopping fuss down.

"like this" Arsaka unexpectedly leaned his head to erode the distance towards Mayla making the woman spontaneously close, and the next second Mayla heard Arsaka's loud laughter.

"Ha. ha. ha, hurry in before I really kiss you" Arsaka said, withdrawing, while Mayla was still in shock. seeing Mayla who was even silent with a prank Arsaka flicked the woman's forehead while saying back

"come in or I come in now", Mayla spontaneously moved away while carrying her groceries she said

" stop surprising me" cried Mayla. while Arsaka laughed, his eyes can not be separated from the woman who is now lost behind the boarding door.
