One year later....
The sound of the Adhan echoed in all corners of Modongan Village, a village on the outskirts of the City. A place where Ivan and his family lived their daily lives.
In a clean and comfortable white room, Ivan prepares to leave for college. He picked up a white paper in his desk drawer to give to his parents.
Ivan lived his days without complaining, although he often felt tired of his work, not the least he complained because he realized, he was only the son of a factory worker with a salary that is not so great.
During this one year, his relationship with Elsa was fine. Yes, although he must give understanding to Elsa who often sulks when she knows he is having campus activities with his girlfriend. His love for Elsa grew bigger and bigger, Demi Elsa he had to go to Surabaya at the end of the month to meet her lover in a place that has been determined by Elsa.
A sense of love that is hindered by the blessing of parents does not make him give up just like that. Because he was sure that one day he could soften the heart of Bu Kana with his success later after graduating from college.
"Dad.... Mother...." Ivan said as he exited his room. He approached his parents who were in the middle room.
"You going to college now, Van?" Asked Mr. Hamid when he saw Ivan was neat with his current clothes.
"Yes Well." Ivan sat next to Bu Nurul.
"It's a letter of approval from the campus that Father will allow Ivan to come to Jakarta with the Rector of the campus." Ivan pulled out a piece of paper from inside his backpack.
One week ago, Ivan was summoned by the Rector of the campus, he was invited by the Rector to go to Jakarta. He represented his faculty to attend the seminar there.
"Go Nak.... Mother allows you to seek experience there." Said Bu Nurul while rubbing Ivan's hair with affection.
Mr. Hamid handed over the approval letter he had signed.
"Ivan left first Well, Bund...." Ivan said before shaking the hands of his parents.
Hoping for success in the future, Ivan instilled a high spirit in him. The shadow of Elsa's face always accompanied her in every step she had to go through. Living happily with Elsa is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand because there is a blessing from Bu Kana that he must get.
...💠💠💠💠...
Night breezes accompany the contemplation of a white girl who is pensive by the pool at the back of a middle-aged lung woman who is usually called a lioness by Elsa.
The night is getting late, but he is still reluctant to move from his place at this time.His feet are still playing with the pool water that is exposed to the reflection of moonlight.
Think, yeah that's what Elsa is doing right now. After getting word from Ivan who was going to Jakarta, he became restless and agitated. He thought of a way to catch Ivan to Jakarta.p
"Glam! Why are you still here? Don't you know if it's night?" Suddenly there was the sound of Madam Mala who managed to disperse everything in Elsa's mind.
"Yes Bude. But Elsa still wants to be here. Elsa hasn't drowned Bude...." Elsa replied while looking at Madam Mala who was standing behind Elsa.
"Watch in your room! not here. The night wind is not good for your health." Miss Mala's orders that succeeded in upsetting Elsa.
"But Bude...." Elsa stopped her speech when Ms. Mala cut off her speech.
"Do you want to be punished like Elsa was yesterday? You want to clean the bathroom again for breaking Bude's rules?" Madam Mala sat down with her eyes staring intently at Elsa.
Without making a sound, Elsa immediately stood up from her current place. He just walked away without saying goodbye to Miss Mala who was still staring at him.
"Young people today no one has manners!" Gerrutu Bu Mala when he saw Elsa passed just like that.
Meanwhile, in her room Elsa continues to grumble because she is upset with Miss Mala who always threatens her. Often He must be punished for breaking the rules made by Ms. Mala.
"Little threatening! I'm not sure if you always say something to me!" Grumpily Elsa when she entered the bathroom in her room.
***
Two days later, Mrs Kana and Mr. Roni came to Ms. Mala's house. They both invited Elsa to enjoy dinner at a seafood restaurant near Kenjeran Beach. Almost every day after coming from the hospital, Ms. Kana took the time to visit Elsa at her oldest sister's house.
"May, Ma... Elsa has a request." Elsa said when she finished spending a serving of her favorite sweet sour crab.
"Say El!" Said Mr. Roni before enjoying the drink.
"Friday Elsa wants to go to Jakarta." Said Elsa who managed to make Bu Kana stop enjoying Udan crispy in front of her.
"To Jakarta? what's El for?" Ask Bu Kana with her face.
"Elsa wants Ma's holiday! Elsa must be locked up in Bude Mala's house!" Said Elsa while looking at the Mother.
"Why should jakarta Elsa?" Ask Ms. Kana.
"Don't you want to meet that guy over there?" Ms. Kana guessed what her daughter was going to do.
"Who Ma? Ivan's? what's he there for? If Elsa wants to meet him, why Elsa should go far to Jakarta. Elsa can go home to Mojokerto whenever Elsa wants." Said Elsa while looking into the eyes of Bu Kana to make it look convincing.
Bu Kana was silent, he digested Elsa's words that had a point. While Mr. Roni just kept quiet while waiting for his wife to think.
"Then Mama will go to Jakarta with you El." Said Ms. Kana after a while of thought.
"Elsa wants to go alone Ma. Elsa wants to unwind there." Elsa.
"But El, you've never been there...." Said Bu Kana while looking at Elsa with a worried look.
"Pa, may ya pa..." Elsa turned to look at Mr. Roni, he also grasped Mr. Roni's hand.
A sweet smile rose from his lips when he saw Mr. Roni nod his head, a sign that he approved Elsa's departure to Jakarta. He was more satisfied when Mr. Roni managed to convince Bu Kana to let Elsa go to Jakarta alone.
"Later Papa will give you transportation money and your allowance while in Jakarta." Said Mr. Roni who made Elsa widen her smile even more.
"Ivan.we're going to Jakarta together." Elsa said in her heart.
