Loving the Arogant Army
22. Dhezia to Semarang

After last reading a message from Allen that night. Dhezia decides not to communicate with Allen until he manages to get the money to replace Allen's broken phone. And the situation that is thought to have entered the Yellow Zone Corona Virus also gives hope for Dhezia to be able to continue his S1 study.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

The loud knocking of the door woke Dhezia from her sleep. It seemed that he was somewhat improving, having recovered with enough sleep since yesterday. After knocking on the door, Ms. Ratia walked into Dhezia and Laura's room.

"Sister Zia is better?" asked Bu Ratia while holding Dhezia's forehead.

"Udah buk" replied Dhezia.

With a voice that still sounds just waking up. Shortly afterwards, Dhezia tried to talk to her mother, "Dhezia to Semarang on her campus today aja ya buk," said Dhezia.

"You're cured?"

Ms. Ratia looked worried.

"Udah Ibuukk" said Dhezia, hugging her mother tightly at a glance and then releasing her again.

"Yes udh readyin first file, brother." said Ms. Ratia.

Then Ms. Ratia glanced at Laura who was still not awake that morning. Then he said, "Laura wake up baby, pray first dawn, son."

"Hoaam, open another five minutes," said Laura who was still closed in her eyes.

"Yes, it's five minutes to wake up, yes, I'm ready to eat breakfast for you, first" said Ms Ratia. Then it went to the kitchen.

"Sir, banguuuuuun. Brother wants to go to Semarang, who took a bath brother first or you deck?" Dhezia's hand patted Laura's shoulder.

"Sister first," said Laura who was still closed in her eyes.

"Jude, that's it,"

After telling Laura, Dhezia then passed by to take a shower, prepare her file, and rush towards the Holy Terminal.

At 06.00 WIB. That morning, the weather was not as sunny as usual. Armed with a knit sweeter jacket and a sling bag containing files, Dhezia stood at the terminal waiting for the bus majoring in Semarang. The atmosphere of the terminal looks lonely, not many people are lined up there. After a few minutes of standing, finally Dhezia bus came. He immediately set his foot on the bus. The passenger seat looks a lot empty. Maybe it is still in the recovery period of the pandemic. There is a distance between the cross between the seats

with the other chair. Dhezia stepped into the rear passenger seat by the window.

"Maybe it'll feel comfortable," she said.

Then sit in that window seat.

A few minutes later, the bus started walking. AC bus that condenses on the glass window of the morning bus signifies the air getting colder. Dhezia closed her eyes. Holding back the cold and thinking of some campus goals that came to his mind. The bus is still traveling at its speed. Arrive at the Demak City terminal. It feels like a while the bus stops for a moment, it might raise passengers who also want to go to Semarang. Dhezia opened her eyes for a moment, looking out the window of the bus. Make sure where it has come

his journey.  Dhezia grabbed the headset in her backpack pocket and then put it to her ear, listening to the sound of soft Javanese gamelan music while closing her eyes. Not sleeping, just wanting to let go of all the burdens of his life. He opened his eyes when he realized that someone was sitting next to him. Dhezia turned to look at the person sitting next to her. A man with a pointed nose, his face was at first glance almost similar to Allen's.

"How marketable is your face, Len. Until there is a guy who looks like you gini, don't be in Semarang also a lot of guys face gini, haha," inner Dhezia.

The man also wore a leather jacket and jeans. The watches, the shoes all look expensive.

"I think rich people too. Maybe this guy with a gini face has a destiny of being born rich, yes" his inner self again.

"Wait a minute, if you're rich, why take the bus? Not riding Mercedez? Tau ah bodo ah why do I think of useless things," he grumbled in his heart. Dhezia finally opened her voice.

"Sorry, you can't sit here, there's a sign, right?" dhezia said carefully.

"I want to sit here" he answered briefly.

Hearing the answer of the man next to her, Dhezia looked annoyed then closed her eyes again.

"Jaudah if you don't want to be reminded, after all you are revealed also you are not me" murmured Dhezia with closed eyes.

It seems the man next to her heard what Dhezia said just now, then the man pulled the left headset that Dhezia was wearing, then put it on the right ear of the man.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Dhezia was surprised her headset was pulled suddenly.

"What'sthis? Gamelan's voice?" The man asked in a tone of astonishment. However, his voice sounded warm.

it's wearing the headset. For a moment they were silent to each other. Then the man opened his voice.

"Why are you sitting here? Isn't the front seat empty?" ask the man.

"I have a reason" Dhezia replied briefly.

"What's? You're heartbroken? So choose to sit here so you can look out the window while crying? Haha," guessed it while laughing.

"Sok you know," Dhezia slapped that stubborn guy next to her with her hand.

"Aw! You hit me?" The man was shocked.

"Son, I'm mukul gong," ketus Dhezia.

"Heh, did you equate this precious head with a gamelan gong? What a weird girl!" the man stroked his head.

"Hihihi," laughs Dhezia.

"You laughing now?" Yovien looked at the laughing girl next to him.

Seeing the man next to her looking at her in surprise, Dhezia slowly stopped laughing, then said, "hmm, maybe, maybe, for some people sitting on a bus seat by the window and staring out the glass it can slightly reduce the tired thoughts in the head,"

"What are you thinking?"

"I have to tell you, while I don't know you yet" said Dhezia.

"I'm Yovien" he said. Then smile.

Seeing Yovien smiling Dhezia then replied, "Oh yes, I'm Dhezia. You're down in Semarang too?"

"Yes, where else? I'll stay there, Zia." explains Yovien.

"Eum is it, you have information on where to open lockers in Semarang?"

"Why? You need a job?" ask Yovien.

"Yes, today's plan is for me to register for college at the Open University, to be able to study while working" explained Dhezia.

"What about working in a restaurant? Your interests?" ask Yovien.

"It's okay, as long as the salary can be to pay for college and living expenses in Semarang City," replied Dhezia.

"the salary UMR. And there's employee Mess. So you don't have to spend money on rent," Yovien said.

"You want, I want," said Dhezia enthusiastically.

"Yaudah, later if you want to start working directly just connect me, later let me say the same to the head of the restaurant," said Yovien.

"May I have your number, Vin?" ask Dhezia.

"Sure dong, here where hpnya not typein," pinta Yovien.

"Now," Dhezia thrust her phone.

Then Yovien seemed to write down the number and then save it.

"Udah," Yovien returns Dhezia's phone.

"Thank you, Vien."

"Yes, sleep later when I get to Terboyo I wake up" Yovien told Dhezia.

"Alright," Dhezia then closed her eyes. Enjoy the journey to Semarang City.
