Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)
140. Go Not To Return

°°°

Back to Rara, arriving at the campus Rara directly down from the car.

"Sir, don't wait. Later I will tell you that the lecture is finished," said Rara to the driver who delivered it.

"It's okay, Non, it's an order from Mr. Revan himself that I have to wait for miss until it's time to go home" replied the driver.

"But I'm tired of waiting for him. Go home first I'll let you know when it's over." Rara could not bear to let the driver wait for her in the hot parking lot.

"It's okay, miss don't worry." The driver certainly did not want to take the risk of leaving his nona just like that, while his master had advised if he had to stay on campus waiting for his nona to come home.

"It's okay, it's up to you. But later if it's hot, you can go to the cafeteria or to the stall. You can also make coffee there." Rara really doesn't enjoy her people.

"Yes, I understand." The driver said his nona.

Rara reached into her pocket to take the money, for she to give it to the driver.

"This is coffee for you" said Rara, handing over a twenty-thousand note to the driver. Not stingy or anything, but Rara rarely holds cash. Her husband gave her money with a card.

"No need to non, Mr. Revan has given me extra money," the driver refused, instead of being happy to be given the money. He was afraid of receiving the money. His master has given him a lot of bonuses, if he receives the money offered by his nona certainly can get into trouble.

"It's okay, just take it sir. Make it father." Rara still insisted that the driver receive money from her.

"But Non..," The driver hesitated to accept the money.

"Let's quickly accept sir, if you later I can be late to class. Brother Revan can be angry if you know," said Rara a little lying.

The driver quickly received the non-money, "Thank you Non."

Rara smiled, then she walked towards her class.

There Lia was already sitting waiting for his arrival.

"Assalamualaikum Lia," Rara told her dreamy-looking friend.

"Rara. you've come, sit around there's something I want to say." Lia patted the empty bench next to her.

Rara went around the table and sat there, putting down the bag and the book she was carrying.

However, Lia had just been willing to speak. Rara's phone sounded first.

"I picked up the phone from Revan's sister Li first," said Rara and Lia nodded.

"Assalamualaikum Kak" Rara told her husband on the phone.

📞"Wa'alaikumsalam. Honey, did you get to campus?"

"Just up to my brother, has my brother also arrived in Bogor."

📞"It's not possible for another hour. Yeah, you learned the right thing, don't get close to other men when I'm not around."

"Yes, brother, be careful too. Let me know when I get there."

📞"Yes what?"

Rara's cheeks flushed red, should she repeat the words of her husband in that class. If anyone hears you, be ashamed.

📞"Honey..."

"Yes, I'm not going anywhere near another man." Rara hoped that no one would hear her words.

"Assalamualaik."

📞"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Rara saved her phone back, then switched back to her friend.

"What did you say to Li?" ask Rara.

"Is your husband gone?" ask Lia.

And Rara's words cause Lia to undo her intention to ask whether her friend's husband can help or not. She must be unkind if she has to urge her friend, while her husband is in trouble.

"Ehh Li, why even dumbass. What were you saying?" cecar Rara's.

"That's.I want to say goodbye, I have permission to go back to the village," replied Lia.

"Why all of a sudden, did something happen there? Did you go home long?" rara asked, she seemed to catch a strange gelagat from the look on her friend's face.

"No, I want to go home." Lia turned her face away so that Rara could not see her sadness.

"What's true, Li, you're not lying. If there is a story problem, oh yes the orphanage problem how? I told Revan he wanted to help but wait for him to solve the company's problems."

"Do they want to wait? Otherwise I'll tell Brother Revan that the matter is urgent." Rara looked at Lia looking for answers.

"Ehh no need Ra, I've found a donor. He said he wanted to help, "lia lied. Actually he was happy because he heard there were people who wanted to help but he himself was not sure if the people would wait.

"really?" look at Rara looking for the truth.

"Yes Ra, that's why I'm home. It's a long time ago yeah, I have to go home now Ra." Lia hurry.

"Are you sure there's no problem Li?" asked Rara again, it feels like she still does not believe her friend can get a donor who wants to buy orphanage land. Instead of not being happy, of course Rara is very grateful if there are people who are so good to help orphans.

"Yes Rara. I'll go home, see you later." Lia hugged Rara tightly, she was so grateful to be able to get the chance to befriend a woman as good as Rara.

Hopefully we can meet again Ra. I will miss you later. You're a good person, there must be many who want to be friends with you.

"What are you going to ride home, Li?" rara asked after the hug came off.

"Fine the bus, after that in the angkot connection," explained Lia.

"Be careful Li, let me know if there's anything. Don't hesitate to ask me for help, we're friends so don't ever hesitate if you need help."

"Definitely Ra, I'm leaving. Assalamualaikum..."

Lia picked up her backpack and waved her hand at Rara.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," Rara said, waving her hand as well.

I hope my feelings are not right. Brother Revan... Lia.

While Lia continued walking with such a weak move. Hope to both extinct already. Now there is only one last hope, which is to ask his uncle for help. Although he was also not sure if his uncle wanted to help him, considering how stingy the uncle had been.

What should I do if uncle doesn't help either. Where should the children go.

Tears began to pool in his eyes, his feelings were not due to think about the fate of children. Should they return abandoned for the umpteenth time if his current shelter must be destroyed.

,,,

Sakka runs from her car to the classroom to meet Lia. He just met his father last night, to talk about a problem he accidentally heard yesterday.

Her face was smiling, she couldn't wait to tell Lia if her father was willing to help.

Arriving at the classroom, his eyes scoured the entire corner of the room. Looking for the girl who managed to tear apart his heart.

"Where is Lia?" sakka asked Rara who was sitting in class.

"Lia...? He just left," Rara replied confusedly.

"Go??" Sakka's eyes are perfectly rounded, he's too late....

to be continue...

°°°

Very sad Lia, hopefully Sakka bang can pursue you yes...

Where is the voice, let's give spirit to Lia
