Section 13
For fingers that always hold together, for a step that is always in the same direction, even for friends who always lighten the joking so that we remain solid, may it boil down to the clear sky.
Hoping, never broken, never shaken, strong confident, upright shoulders that join together will strengthen the effort.
Duhai, the twilight that comes without being asked, the dew that produces coolness, the path we tread, also the space we pull over, endure until we are immortal.
With time, the sense of inexplicable. Enjoyment cannot be used. It is like a faction after a silent trickle, but lara silenced boisterous soul listening to the demands of happiness. So beautiful.
The page, not left obsolete, not left empty, so that later review the beginning of the meeting can be traced back, remembering to keep the taste that grows.
Page, kronogi kasih written regularly, until the speech was not banged, with deep ink painting a groove that has been outstretched.

2018 October
If you remember, it was before the age of one year to be romantically, Ay and Earth first time far apart for three days. Don't you ask, why is it forced to recall that, there is something that will happen exactly the same.
October 2018, two things that appear together, namely Bumi's older sister will get married and Ay wrestles with internship 3. That is, there are those who return to the village there are also those who settle in the region. Estimated time of month.
One afternoon in early October 2018, Bumi took Ay down the street in this city, carving a sentence full of jokes, breezy wind successfully cut the distance between Ay and Earth during the drive. Given the most beautiful smile when staring at the heart again seriously unravel the tip of the hijab in the rearview mirror.
"Dad." Call Earth.
"Hm." From the view of the rearview mirror Ay is still busy with her hijab.
"Smiling dong."
"Smile to what?"
"Not for anything. I want to see Ay smile."
"More." Ay just showed his teeth like a child forced to smile.
"I told you to smile Ay, not point your teeth."
"Why smile on your teeth?"
"No, I mean that smile sincerely. Ay was forced to smile, so his teeth looked out but Ay's face was moody."
"Again not interested. Ah, I want to enjoy the wind this afternoon." Unwittingly Ay smiles while stretching his hands enjoying the air.
Earth who does not want to be discovered, join the smile when glancing at Ay's face in the rearview mirror.
After Ay spread his hands, as usual if you see beautiful scenery, see tall buildings towering, bright clouds, he will capture it by recording video or even photos, certainly with aesthetic style.
"Good weather this afternoon, bright." Word Earth.
"Hem." I just lifted my thumb.
"Be careful, the phone will fall." Soft Earth lever.
"You want to rest or keep going?" Further.
"Muter keeps ka, the wind's cold."
"Okay, Ay's mom."

Counting 1 hour, these two people just twirled around aimlessly. Perhaps the preparation of LDR part 2, fostering memories before plunging into each other's busyness. The conversation has not yet entered into the core agenda. Earth reduces the speed of the wheel, slowly.
"Where is the 3rd internship location?" Earth initiated.
"Not yet to know, the prodi party has no new information." Answer Ay with netra focused forward.
"If the generation of 14 yesterday anyway, most of its location around Ma****r (censored city name)."
"Yes, the info circulating is also so ka."
"Maybe this week there's new information." Connect Ay.
"May yes. If this week's info means I have a chance to get Ay apprenticed before I go home, hehe." Hope Earth.
"Heeh, because if I ride the grab every day, my monthly money is not enough." Ay put his lips together.
"Try later ask the Stars, there is not one class placed in one location as well. Not bad, Ay no longer dizzy waiting for grab who sometimes play a backpack just." Earth's Advice on Ay. Bintang and Ay are indeed one faculty, but different majors.
"Yesterday, I asked my friend who repeated in our class, he said later there will be lucky to get a classmate in one location. Imbuh Ay's.
Bumi thought, now is the right time to start a conversation about returning home in the near future. Flashback briefly, now 2018 Earth has entered 6 years of college, that means it molor 2 years. Earth has completed all PPL 1, PPL 2, and PPL 3. However, like male students in general, the Earth has not at all drafted a proposal let alone think of a thesis.
"Because there's not the same news, Ay?" Earth Speak.
"Rarely ever, at least once a week. What's the news?" Ask her, Ay shakes.
"Oh yes, brother Inggar this month marry Ay." With a voice slowly Earth tells.
"Huh, marriage...." Ay flinched while hitting the shoulder of the Earth slowly. "certainly lying. Brother Inggar never let me know." With a slightly loud voice Ay still could not believe it.
"True, Brother Ingar got married on October 21st Ay." The earth has already opened wide the core chat door.
"Makanya, if Monday the 15th info placement location Ay internship, means the 16th of tomorrow the internship starts, it means I can take between Ay one day only. I bought tickets back, Ay." The words of Earth were full of tenderness and slowness so that Ay could understand it with a cold head.
There was no response from Ay, the alarm sign of magrib time had begun to be heard from the nearest mosques. Ay shook his head, and the phone booed from the bag, seeing what time it was.
"Back yuk ka, already want magrib. About ka Bumi return home and internship 3 later continue in kos." The earth is a little restless waiting for a response from Ay, instead told to turn back to go home by Ay.
The earth took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, clenching Ay's hand with a finger. "Yes, yeah." Imbaby fast.
"Just get through here, quick." Ay pointed towards the right turn of the entrance lane of the boarding passage.
Earth just nodded in agreement and immediately gasp following the direction of the woman who owns the chin. Approximately 10 minutes, the speed of the wheel stops in the parking lot left side corner of the stairs up to the 2nd floor. Hurried Ay up the stairs, so impressed he with super strength through three steps to quickly arrive.
Arriving on the 2nd floor, Ay did not directly enter the room, but ran a small tap near the bathroom for ablution.
Meanwhile, Bumi si most relaxed with slow steps, he climbed the stairs while picking up the phone yanh ringing from earlier. Seen the nickname entered, it turns out Joke. Maybe, his best friend thought something happened between Ay and Earth.
"Heilo Na, why? I'm on the stairs up here, just came home with Ay." Earth without burden.
"Hufff, I thought there was a storm, ****** mbliung, lightning, lightning was also struck. Thank goodness." Joke that is slightly affected by the behavior of his Friend Ay, lately often prejudiced. The joke was contacting Earth because of hearing the stomping of Ay's feet that seemed rude. Though Ay hastily take water wudu because it is already a few minutes late to pray Magrib.
"Haha, there's-there's just. Why was that? Earth Response.
"I'm sorry, I don't know. Ay girlfriend Earth, never soft for a second." Guru the owner of love.
"Hurry him, how late are the minutes for the magrib prayer." Further again.
"Oh, my God, come on." Praise the Joke to Ay.
* * *
After carrying out the obligation as a sign of obedience to the creator of all that is on Earth, Ay hangs his face in the wardrobe hanger. Instead of being tired this afternoon, Ay briefly lay down the body to the spoon next to Joke.
"Where have you been, at this hour just got home?" The joke asked seemed curious.
Curiosity was not stirred by the woman, Jenaka patted the shoulder and whisper in Ay's ear "abis dating ya!" A very seductive intonation from Joke, trying to guess what her roommate had been through this afternoon.
Still, Ay cuek and focus on justifying the position of his favorite blanket.
"Now yes, like lightning, thunder, cloudy all day but the end is not raining. So does this poor me. Already curious, asked a lot, makeup, and whispers teasing also already but did not find an answer. It's so complicated to be a joke.
"Find the wind ah." Hummed Joke.
"Sir Earth, talk yuk." The screech. Joke put her cell phone on the bookshelf. Retract the hijab that hangs in the closet, then move out of the room to the terrace where the Earth waits and relaxes.
"Where is he?" Bumi asked Ay, from earlier had not caught up with him on the terrace. Just 30 minutes ago, said his chat back home and continued apprenticeship at the boarding course. Uh, Ay's laying around in a minute.
"He's dead, in the room." Reply Joke looks sprained.
"Haha... Ay, Ay." Remark the Earth scratching the head that may not itch. It seems like a reflex action.
"Sir Bum, I made coffee!" Joke's statement was not responded by the Earth, standing towards the room making coffee.
Netra Earth followed the direction of Joke stepping towards the room.
"Na, wake up Ay dong." Earth from the terrace.
"Yes, yeah. Patience." Joke wakes Ay using the right leg because he is still upset.
"Oi, oi wake up.
"Hm." Ay's voice was haunting.
"Iihh, basic western movie connoisseur. That's just a raspy. Bagun, brother Earth call." Firm Joke.
Jenaka does not wait for a response from Ay, he takes a tray to deliver his homemade coffee to Earth.

5 Minutes later
"I'm sorry, I fell asleep." His voice raspy, apologizing to the Earth.
"It's okay, relax." Bumi smiled as she looked at the innocent face of her lover.
"Na, I'm sorry about before, can you give us both a little time here, something important." Bumi lowered her head while giving an apology towards Joke. According to Bumi, this is his privacy with Ay, although later his chatter about returning home only.
"Oh, by the way thank you for the coffee yes, it tastes just right!" Connect Earth.
"Ohhhh.yeah, yes, yes. You can do, what the hell can't do for people who want LDRs." Laughing joke giving a thumbs up to jidat Ay. "Use your slightly rusty brain yeah, don't latch on." Ledek Joke on his best friend Ay.
"Iidihhh, kayak really. Noh, your brain is like a common pipe, bent." Ledek Ay turning.
Finally, Jenaka breezed into the room giving privacy space to her two best friends. Though Jenaka, first know the plan of the Earth to return home compared to Ay. Yesterday, Jenaka accidentally eavesdropped on Star and Earth talk about Tilongkabila ticket prices. But, after yesterday listening to all the talks of his two seniors, he did not immediately tell Ay. Fear of being wrong, because the hearing may be less clear.
While sipping the coffee brewed by Jenaka, Bumi glanced at Ay always looking at him gently. Earth tried to guess what her gaze meant, but found no meaning. Let it. Maybe he changed the way he looked. Maybe he has felt how later if the LDR.
"Ay, I left on the 17th, yes, I took Tilongkabila. The schedule leaves at 8 am." Earth Speak.
"Meaning, I can't go between dongs. I'm leaving for her internship at 7:30, I'm early." Ay's facial sharpener managed to squeeze the focus of the Earth from her steeping coffee.
"Look, we see the development of information on the location of the internship, if it's true Monday there is news from the program, so Ay do not have to come between, Ay focus on apprenticeship. Early entry must create a good image. Even if there's no news, it's even better, Ay can take me to the port, right." Said the man who had full patience facing Ay.
Ay propped up his chin listening to sentence after sentence thrown by the Earth. His smile hypnotized the Earth so as not to return home. Earth is still, continuing.
"I came home one month Ay, no kang...." The phrase Earth hangs as Ay's phone rings out loud.
Crane..kring...
Habits are imprinted, Ay does not immediately answer. He glanced at the name of who appeared behind the loud voice. It turns out that a classmate at the campus 'Grown A 15" the description is quite complete. Name, class, and class.
"Hello Em, why? Phone tumbles are usually spam." Focus can be on the phone but Ay's eyes constantly staring at the form of love in front of him.
"Yes.ye.... Ay, internship location 3 has come out of this." His friend's voice was very cheerful.
"Yeah... See where Em is?" Tanya Ay was happy.
"There it is, in a class group chat. Keti who shared. Buruan look." Ay's classmate's Dew on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, thanks for the info. By."
Tut..tuutt... Call ended.
Reflek, Ay stood up and jogged. The earth realized that the scene before his eyes was just a reflex movement.
"Fix, I'm taking you to Earth!" That sentence just came out.
After Ay ended the phone call, Ay put his flat object back in the left side seat. Switch focus to the Earth that is enjoying warm coffee in the small size glass.
"Where is it finished?" Ask Earth.
"Udah. The location is out. But I haven't read it." Ay smiled broadly at his lover's earth.
"Try to see the location. Who knows where Ay's far away." The earth pointed towards Ay's cell phone which he had stored earlier in the chair.
"Okay ka." I looked at the black cell phone.
"Here we go." Mumbled. "Alhamdulillah, there's a classmate of mine who's one location." The smile on Ay's face was engraved so perfectly. Able to make the gaze of the Earth sharp and soft.
"But, yahh. its location passes through the shaft road where it is jammed, late and dong every day." Ay lightning turned her sweet smile earlier into a glassy one.
"See also the start date of the internship?" The earth breaks Ay's disappointment.
"Our Earth is all you see, lazy. Here's..." He gave the phone to the clear white man beside him.
Seriate...
