Tonight, the weekend night is usually when High School, Anders and Ridha decide to take a walk together.
Because the two are currently undergoing LDR, then all they can do is just chatting through video calls.
“Halo darling. How are you?” greet Anders to his lover.
“Halo too, this week is really busy anyway.”
Ridha is currently accepted into the Department of Dentistry at one of the leading universities in Surabaya.
The period of ospek and the introduction carried out at the university depends on the policies of each faculty.
Faculty of dentistry, famous for one of the long ospek times.
Ridha complained because he did not expect if his faculty this year decided to carry out the ospek period and the introduction of the campus for a full month.
No doubt if a lot of trivial tasks are stacked with each other.
There are several tasks that make Ridha more irritated, namely collecting some articles printed in newspapers that discuss the university or its faculty.
For dental students, this is very difficult to do.
Some even willingly went to the city library to search for what was assigned.
They search year after year of newspapers that contain articles about their university or faculty.
Ridha, who had already found some articles had ended up deadlocked as well.
He called his family and asked his family members to send all the newspapers that were still intact to send to the boarding address where he lived.
Just for the sake of finding the articles he needs and fulfilling his ospek taskbook. And there was one more task that made Rida's head turn seven circumference.
He was assigned by the ospek committee to search for international journals and translate them which each student should be able to present.
New students, who when sitting in High School, never know and learn what is an international journal and all its instruments.
Now suddenly got a task that made the students pat their eels.
“Kasian really my girlfriend, spirit dear.” seductive Anders to make Ridha more excited.
“Dih, doang mah spirit I can also times.”
“Mau disamperin?” ask Anders.
The separation of the two from the first one High School and often met, until entering college is only about a month.
However, Ridha felt he was still not used to this condition. He misses the warm embrace Anders gives when he complains.
Right now, he could only encourage himself and embrace himself.
Actually, Ridha was eager to answer the offer with the word yes. But he thought how selfish he would be if he asked Anders to come all the way from Jakarta to Surabaya just to hug him.
He also thought, surely there Anders felt almost the same thing as what Ridha felt today.
“No need to love, I’m okay here.” said Ridha firmly.
“Yakin? Offer does not come twice tau.”
The question made Ridha could not resist his longing for Anders. He shouted in front of Anders.
“Hahahaha.” heard Anders' voice laughing at Ridha who was shouting.
“Udahlah, do not be teased continue. Kasian loh I.” said Ridha memelas.
Anders also stopped his ignorance, he did not want to overdo it and instead made Ridha's mood worse later.
“How are you? Ospeknya smoothly?” ask Rida to her boyfriend.
“It seems like if I ask this to you. The answer must be like that.”
Ridha himself also admitted how Anders can complete the task given well.
As much as any task, no matter what model is given, if the time given makes sense. So it's very easy for Anders to finish it well.
Anders is currently majoring in management at one of the top public universities in Jakarta, feel very grateful because it can be one step closer to his goals.
Increasingly, month after month did not feel they both passed.
It was a time consuming activity for both of them.
The increasingly heavy courses plus organizational activities, making the two increasingly rare to exchange news.
On Sunday, Anders usually called Ridha to ask her for news. Anders did not do it this time.
He is still busy with being a committee for the celebration of the university's natalis dies.
The sound of the incoming call ringtone was heard on Anders' phone which was currently in the bag.
Anders who was in a meeting with his division, of course, did not hear that there was an incoming call.
Lots of messages that have been sent by Ridha from noon until now, at 20:00 pm.
Ridha did not know that Anders became the committee of the natalis dies. Because before, Anders never told a story.
Just a story about academic busyness and some minor conflicts going on in her class.
Until 22:00, Ridha also never get a reply or response in any form.
That irritated him a little, considering that today was a Saturday that should have been a holiday for all students.
The relationship between the two, indeed looks increasingly tenuous in terms of communication.
Despite that, the two are still quite frequent to deliver food through online platforms.
Ridha, who already knows Anders' study schedule, sometimes sends some snacks that become favorite Anders.
Likewise, Anders also very often send food to Ridha, as his overtime friend.
Just in terms of communication alone, the two of them still had not found a bright spot.
Different busy times, and different portions of busyness also make them unable to have the same free time.
The priority for both of them was lame by themselves without them noticing.
Anders, who is too focused on his college, often ignores Ridha accidentally.
While Ridha, who in his lecture get many practicum hours on holidays also indirectly reduce the portion of their communication the two of them previously agreed.
However, this time Ridha called Anders wanted to say that he was in the hospital.
According to the doctor, Ridha is too fussy himself to do his duties. As a result, that morning when he woke up from his sleep, he experienced severe nosebleeds.
Right now, Ridha was lying limp on the hospital bed. He hopes Anders knows his condition.
Although later Anders could not come to see him, but at least he got support and enthusiasm.
Ridha's parents have also gotten news regarding his current condition.
Ridha just waited for their arrival tomorrow, and got a hug from both parents.
Some close friends who are in his class, also willing to stay in the room where Ridha is lying at this time.
In the end, Ridha gives up on contacting Anders. He tried to relax his mind. Let go of all the bad conjectures that come to haunt his head.
