Ajeng has officially received leave approval from his office. Starting today he did not enter the college to teach him. Several lecturers replaced his teaching and tutoring duties afterwards. With a heavy heart, Ajeng had to leave the job he loved even for a while. He took a deep breath and exhaled while stroking his stomach which was getting bigger.
"I'm leaving first, right?!" ferdian said while wearing his denim jacket.
"Yes," Ajeng replied smiling.
"Well at home, if there's anything, call me right away!" said Ferdian who from now on must be a 24-hour standby husband because the estimated day of birth is getting closer.
"Ready, Honey!"
Ferdian took his helmet. He will use a large motorbike that he has not used for a long time. She took her husband's hand and kissed him. Ferdian returned a kiss on his wife's forehead. Then he kissed his wife's stomach.
"Ouch!" ferdian was surprised.
Ajeng laughed because Ferdian's lips were hit by a small kick from the stomach.
"There are greetings from dedek tuh before leaving," said Ajeng.
"Yes, can't wait to see you?" said Ferdian stroking his wife's stomach.
Ajeng smiled.
"Bah Dedek, I'm leaving first!"
She led her husband to the front door.
"I'm going home!" said Ferdian when he just came out of his apartment.
"It's okay, don't be too late!" ajeng Message.
"Yes, Honey! I'm leaving, aren't I?" ferdian briefly kissed his wife's lips.
"Assalamu'alaikum's chat...."
"Wa'alaikum...."
Ajeng looked at Ferdian who was walking towards the elevator, then waved his hand until the elevator door closed. He went into the apartment and locked the door. Ajeng walked to the room he prepared for his son later. The room has been decorated with all-ash and white, neutral colors that provide coolness and calmness. She never thought it would be this fast to be a mother. All equipment is available. He had also prepared a full bag to carry when he was born later.
Ajeng walked out towards the main room where he could see the cityscape from the room. He sat his body on the couch and set his television. Ah, it's so boring to keep quiet like this for him. It seemed like she had to exercise lightly just so that her body was ready to give birth later. Ajeng played a video about exercise specifically for pregnant women. He followed many of the movements he was instructed to. It turns out quite tiring also exercise with a duration of 30 minutes. Ajeng decided to rest while sipping water.
His phone suddenly rang. An unknown number called him.
"Hello?"
"Hello, this is Ajeng right?" ask a female voice.
"Yes, who is this?"
"It's me Nava!"
"Ooh Nava's. What's up Va?" ask Ajeng.
"May I tell you something?"
"That's fine! But I'm not in college. I've taken maternity leave, Va!"
"Ooh is that? Where do you live?" nava asked, it seems like she needs a confiding friend.
Ajeng told me the address of his apartment. Nava will visit him this afternoon, Ajeng invites him to go directly to the cafe in the rooftop of his apartment.
Ajeng became even more curious after Nava hung up his phone. It's been over a week since the talks he, Ferdian, and Andre had. Is it true that Andre is carrying out the plan proposed by Ferdian? He doesn't know yet. It seems like he will find out today.
\=====
Nava's heart was pounding. He took the elevator to the apartment where Ajeng lived. He immediately went to the cafe in the rooftop of the apartment and immediately contacted Ajeng if he had arrived there.
Nava chose a table next to the window facing the pool that looked quiet and there was no one. Shortly after Ajeng exited the elevator, Nava waved his hand to tell his position.
"Hi, it's been a while?" sapa Ajeng is friendly.
"Just arrived! Sorry for being a nicotine."
"It's easy, it's still in my apartment. Ferdian won't let me go anywhere!" said Ajeng while holding his body.
"Yes I know, so look at you for the gini," said Nava, watching Ajeng's large stomach.
"Deg-degan look at me, see the others?" sedeng Goda.
Nava. Before getting into the conversation, they order food and soft drinks first.
"So what's the matter, the power is so important?" ask Ajeng while bribing a potato chip.
Nava chuckled in shame.
"Well answer Andre's proposal?" ask Ajeng.
Nava shook her head while smiling bitterly.
"Lho why? Don't you love her?"
Nava sighed. The woman bowed.
"Yes I love her," Nava replied in the end.
"Keep what made you delay that answer?" ask again.
"I am.ah, what a fool I am!"
"What's wrong, Va? Just story!"
"I deliberately delayed it, because I needed to record it in my writing!"
Ajeng's eyes widened. "You mean?" ask Ajeng.
"I'm a writer, Jeng! I know this is wrong. When I started this conversation, I wrote everything for my novel. Because I think this feeling is so valuable to be a story. After all this feeling I had been feeling during Andre's time in London, I finally felt it again. So I don't want to lose this moment so quickly. I only felt that Andre was trying to get as far as me right now, I didn't know what to do.." Nava said worriedly.
Ajeng. So this is why Nava delayed Andre's reply. It was funny but Nava was right, that feeling was very precious. So it never hurts to be recorded in his writing. Ajeng smiled.
"Are Andre sure you are?"
"As long as we met on campus, he'd shunned me a lot. I tried to say hello, but he suddenly left. And...."
"And what?"
"She's close to another student."
"A serious?"
"Yes, Jeng! Several times I've mergokin they've been having fun and intimate conversations."
"Again the guidance of times!" say Ajeng.
"Maybe. But the hell while laughing like that?"
Pensive ajeng. Andre dodging means indeed he runs input from Ferdian. But if it is close to other students, is it part of the additional plan? think Ajeng.
"Are you jealous, Va?" tanya Ajeng wanted to know the feelings of the woman before him.
Nava momentarily fell silent.
"I.., it seems like yes," Nava replied hesitantly. "So how am I supposed to be?" ask Nava worriedly.
"Turn Andre's proposal immediately, before he withdrew the proposal and instead he loved someone else!" exciting Ajeng. Although Ajeng knew, Andre was a loyal man, he would not be close to other girls, let alone he was waiting for an answer from the woman of his heart.
"Is that so?"
"Yes dong! Although he has been waiting for you for 7 years, but sorry Va, I think if you let him wait for you that long, he could quickly move to another heart."
Nava bowed lethargic, her eyes glazed over.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you, but I think your ship should set sail soon. Don't let him wait any longer, Va!" exciting Ajeng.
"Alright, Jeng! I guess I'll give you an answer for him, right away!" answer Nava sure.
"I'm sure you can be happy together," said Ajeng encouragingly.
"Sama-sama," said Ajeng smiling.
\=====
Nava returned to his campus after he met Ajeng. With an anxious and pounding heart he intends to meet Andre this afternoon. Since there were no lectures today, he decided to go to the library. He intends to continue his writing while waiting for Andre who finished teaching.
[Andre can we meet? There's something I want to talk about] type Nava in whatsapp.
Nava hopes Andre will reply soon. Although he knew, maybe Andre still had a teaching schedule. He opened his netbook and began to continue his story. It had been almost an hour since, Nava looked back at his phone. There's nothing in return there. He became anxious. But he will still wait for her.
The afternoon greeted. Cloud overcast clouds were approaching preparing to field its sky army. Nava closed the netbook after writing about 3000 words. The library is closing soon, students are starting to scatter out. Nava ate the screen of his phone, the message was not yet received a reply. Even the message has not been read by the person concerned. Should he wait or go home?
Nava decides to go to the dean's building, hoping he will find Andre there. With his small steps, he walked down the corridor and hallway of the lecture hall. The wind began to blow violently sweeping the streets filled with dry leaves that fell Rumbling began to echo throughout the sky.
He sits himself in a lobby chair. Staff and teachers started to leave their work rooms. Nava hopes Andre will appear there soon. It's been almost 30 minutes since his nose hasn't appeared yet. Nava's heart was already feeling sad. He felt stupid for ignoring the man. He walked out of the building, as the building appeared to be empty of employees. It was already very dark, and heavy rain arrived with strong winds. Nava decided to sit in a chair in the hallway of building B. Such heavy rain did not allow him to go home. He looked at the rain, his body started to get cold.
Suddenly a crowd of male students came. The students sat down on the floor and pulled out their laptops. Nava glanced towards them. It was Ferdian and his friends.
"We're just here, going to hostels where we can!" malik said that he had opened his laptop.
"Yes, gini rain. The rain stopped me right back!" said Ferdian opened his lecture dictatorship.
"Eh there's a beautiful student, alone again!" said Danu shrank her voice, suddenly the six men immediately turned to look at the student.
"Remarkably, it looks like Miss Ajeng! Godain ah!" syaiful exclaimed cheerfully, he intended to approach the student.
"Hey hey!" sergeant Ferdian, put Syaiful to a standstill.
"Naon anyway? Just want to know Doang!" syaiful.
"That's Mister Andre's girlfriend!" said Ferdian, automatically make Syaiful's legs limp and collapse on the floor.
Danu laughed out loud seeing his friend who was acting better, followed by his five other friends.
"Pulse, Ipul, what a living lo ah!" exclaiming Danu.
"Seriously, is that Mister Andre's girlfriend?" tanya Syaiful did not believe.
"Seriously, the wife-to-be instead! S2 student!"
"God, when did I get a mate?" syaiful raised his hand. Instantly the lightning boomed.
"Even the sky has not been ridho Lo ask for a soul mate!" chirping Ghani.
The five friends laughed again, making Nava turn to them. He no longer feels lonely.
"Make sure he's here, Fer! Kasian himself is!" syaiful.
"Awas ah auar Lo mode!" timpal Malik's.
"Woy spout his job!" ridho who was getting upset.
All of his friends complied and began to focus on their group tasks.
No night seemed to cover the sky. The rain has gone. The lights of buildings, parks, and streets were already lit. Nava stood up and intended to go home, before the great rain came again. Ferdian who saw him immediately called out. He was not familiar with Andre's candidate, but he was worried that a woman was walking alone in this sprawling campus, especially at night like this.
"Teh Nava!" Ferdian. Nava turned his head and stopped his steps.
"Why is that?" ask Nava.
"Wanna go home?"
"Yes, are you Ferdian?"
"Yes, Tea! Waita minute!" Ferdian. Nava watched the tall man in surprise.
Ferdian took his cell phone and called someone there.
"Bang, where?" ferdian asked, he stepped away from Nava so that the woman would not hear him.
"In the apartment, why?"
"Snap on to building B, it's an emergency!"
"What emergency?" andre did not understand.
"Pipetan here, just an emergency! Bring two jackets!"
"What the hell?"
"But anyway, this is my brother's candidate alone on campus, the rain!" ferdian said a little bit of a lie.
"Seriously?"
"Yes! It's a fucking hunt!"
"Well, I'm there now!" andre hung up the phone immediately.
Ferdian smiled with relief. Although he could actually drive the woman, but he had kept his wife's promise that the motorbike belonged only to his wife, so he could not piggyback on other women. It seems like these two people need to talk.
"Teh, wait a minute, may I ask you something? A graduate student of English Literature, right?" ask Ferdian.
"Yes. Ask what?"
Ferdian hurried to take his diktat. He returned to Nava.
"Teh, don't you know what this explanation means?" tanya Ferdian showed a paragraph in the drama lecture. Ferdian was actually pretending to be, so that the woman could stay there longer.
Nava read the paragraph carefully. Then he explained to Ferdian what he understood. Ferdian. The five kawa Ferdian watched the two.
"That's Ferdi again what?" ask Danu.
"Awas aja, ngeduain Miss Ajeng! Let Miss Ajeng do me!" chirps Syaiful.
"Let's know, he's rich in our duty!" Ghani.
Suddenly a red mpv car stopped in front of building B. Nava looked at him suspiciously, his heart suddenly leaping when Andre came out from there. Nava looked at Ferdian, then shook his head. Andre carried a jacket in his hand, he walked towards Nava and Ferdian. Ferdian smiled his plan worked. Andre looked at Nava in surprise then took turns staring at Ferdian.
"He's rained?" ask Andre.
Ferdian tried to hold back his laughter.
"Teh, thank you for the explanation. Please come home, have your girlfriend picked up?" ferdian smiled.
Andre scratched his non-itchy head. It's been a mistake. And so is Nava.
"This is what you wear!" said Andre thrust his jacket at Nava.
"Thank you, Dre!" nava replied bowed while taking the jacket. He remembered Andre's other jacket had not been returned.
"Yuk's home!" bring Andre.
Nava smiled blushingly. Both of them walked to Andre's car. Ferdian smiled broadly at the couple. Good luck, Bang Dre!
