Love But Different
Episode three

I don't know how long I've been asleep. But I woke up to the sound of an aunt waking me up. With my eyes slightly opened, I tried to fight this drowsiness.

" San, Sani, Wake up the ashar prayer" said aunt. I didn't hear her voice very clearly, because this drowsiness was really amazing, probably because there was a demonic spice that made it very difficult for me to open my eyes. As hard as I could try to get up, I looked at the clock on the wall at 15:40, which meant that I had been asleep for almost three hours.

" Yes aunt "I got off the top of the bed.

With a shaky step, I played the key twice. Then I walked to the kitchen to go to the bathroom, looking like aunty was feeding her beloved cat.

" Just like Gepi, where do you go?" I asked while tying my messy hair like a lion's hair.

" Out again look for charcoal "aunty replied

" where? So to later malem burn his corn? "

" I don't know, maybe to the house of Iwan mas, so if it doesn't rain "

I stepped into the bathroom, which was only ten steps away from me. After finishing ablution and performing the ashar prayer, I sat in the back seat of the house while playing the phone in my hand. This afternoon I did not help my aunt cook, because I and my aunt happened to have cooked chicken this morning before we left for the garden, so this afternoon just heat up.

I opened my facebook back, I found a message coming in. Rendi Lukas sent a message. I don't know what feelings I felt at that time, between pleasure, wonder and so forth.

" Hey" said the message on Facebook. Posted about 2 hours ago.

I replied in a tweet, "Yes "my reply was short.

When I saw Rendi's facebook active, it was a green balloon on the side of his account.

" Are you Sani huh, auntie Dwi's niece?" reply again.

" Yes, why?"

" I'm Rendi, who was at the funeral home at the time, remember?" balas Rendi tried to familiarize himself.

But I still respond with a careless attitude, because I don't want to be judged too aggressive or anything. Women's bias, must sell expensive hehe.

" Oh yeah, remember "

Then Rendi's facebook looks inactive again, or maybe she's disappointed because I replied to her too indifferently. Ah the bodo period thought to me, I don't know him either and won't see him again, so I don't want to take a headache.

At about 17:30 it was raining heavily. Om Hengki stood framed by the back door while looking at the flood that fell from the top of the tile.

" Huhf! Not so grilled corn if you think this "his words grunt annoyed.

" Maybe later subside "return aunt

" Reda will also not be cool if you make corn, Brock! Huhff!!" Um Hengki with annoyed tone.

" Well, rain is also grace and sustenance" replied the aunt wisely.

" Yes, tomorrow Sani has returned to his cosant "

I was a bit moved to hear Hengki's answer, he cared so much for me. He wanted to make a good impression on my vacation at his house this time. But how else, we also can not resist the arrival of rain is not.

" Oh, no papa, next time, I will be able to come here "I said while holding Gepi.

That afternoon we went through the day with a rather sad feeling, because the planned corn burning event must fail. But it's okay, I'm so happy to spend my vacation here.

The next day. I packed some of my clothes and I put them in my bag. Today I will return to the boarding house because tomorrow my lecture has started as usual. There is a feeling of sadness, because I don't know when else I can come here even though the distance between where I went to college and the aunt house is not so far away, but I rarely have time to come even though it's just playing. My busy schedule with college seems to take up my time, especially now that I have entered the sixth semester.

They looked sad when I was ready to leave. Seen om Hengki is taking out my motor matic from inside his house.

" Be careful San" said the aunt hugging me while holding back tears. I know he's very sad, because after I leave, this house will be quiet again as before.

" I'm leaving, aunty, oom "

"Yes, come here often" said Om Hengki.

" God willing" I replied smiling.

Then I got into my motorcycle seat and prepared to leave. Aunt waving her hand. Then I started driving my motorbike and left my aunt's yard. A short but very memorable holiday for me.

The days keep passing. Since the short message that Rendi sent to me at that time, we have become more familiar, even we have exchanged whatsapp numbers. Although at the beginning I ignored Rendi, but in the end I also melted with her. And now that we've been good friends, even a little bit of it I've started to know about Rendi. He is a student majoring in Management at one of the prestigious campuses in Lampung, turns out I and Rendi one class only different campuses only. But the distance between my campus and the campus where Rendi attended was also not that far away. Until sometimes when there is time, Rendi does not hesitate to come to visit me, just like her this afternoon.

It was about 4pm when I just got home from college. Riding a blue matic motorcycle, I stopped at a first that was not far from campus and intended to buy gasoline. As I was about to take my wallet from the bag, I felt my phone shake, and I took it. A phone call through whatsapp came in on my phone, from Rendi. What was? Thought. I picked up the phone immediately.

" Hello." I said.

" Hello San." said Rendi

" Why Ren?"

" Where are you? Not been home from college yet?"

" Just got off campus. Why Ren?"

" Where are you? I'm near your college?" said Rendi.

I was shocked to hear the answer, I flirted around to make sure that Rendi was around, but damn I didn't see her at all.

" Where are you anyway?" I said while continuing to make sure of the surroundings.

" In deket somay seller"

I started guessing. Somay salesman? Ah means not so far from where I am. Why'd he come here, I thought again.

" Oh, I was in the first place to buy gasoline. 200 meters from campus" I replied.

" Yes wait, I'm there" said Rendi not so clear because of the many sounds of vehicles passing.

Moments later, I saw a young man wearing a white helmet, a watch, a shirt and black jeans and not forgetting his black bag on his back, coming up to me on a vixion motorcycle. I've guessed that it must be Rendi, you can imagine how cool Rendi was back then. After stopping, he opened his helmet glass and smiled at me.

I who that afternoon was so shabby, with a crumpled face thinking about a lot of tasks plus just came home from college, felt not PEDE when he met her. Fortunately, Rendi did not immediately run away when she saw me who was very tangled and messy that afternoon. She smiled sweetly at me and I tried to return her smile even though I knew my smile was not sweet at all.

" Why Ren?" ask me without further ado.

" Gk papa, want to meet you just." concluded his began to issue a sharpshoot, but dear will not work for me.

" Oh that. But I just got home from college. It's like this again." I said I felt less PEDE. Rendi laughed a little.

" Yes, papa. Kya wants to see the president" his jokester.

" Where are you from Ren?"

" Just come home too, keep going. Eh to remember you, so I decided to come here." he said.

Then Rendi asked me to go to a place, there was something to talk about he said. We all went on our own motorcycles.

Seriate....
