Asti was determined not to think about the man. He preoccupies himself with a variety of activities. Overseeing the exam, taking care of the flower garden in her yard, tidying up the things in her room, helping her Mom in the kitchen, taking care of her, read some books he borrowed from the library where he taught and from the library of his former campus.
In case it crossed his memory again, he immediately patted her cheek and moved. Whatever he could do, he would be in his custody. To the extent that Mba who works at his house is confused to see the behavior of his Miss. When Mba wanted to sweep the house he came over.
“Mba... Here I am the house” while catching a broom in the hands of Mba.
“Out Non don't! Mba only Non” replied the Mba, while tightly grasping the broomstick.
“Udah is okay Mba, here take off her broom” Asti broom contest with Mba.
“It's already its job Mba, Non”
“Ih Mba I know, but this time let me just do it yes Mba?”
“Alright Non, but do not fire Mba yes Non. Mba still need this job Non!” replied the worried Mba, just in case the house no longer needs his energy. Because it's not just once the two Misses in the house have been acting like this the last few days.
When Mba washed the dishes and mopped the house some days ago too he did. Makes Mba confused by his attitude. And to cause the wrong thoughts from Mbak, because indeed the change in attitude is very strange. Not as usual.
Such were the days he passed until the time came he received his student exam papers. He did not even procrastinate anymore, Langung immediately checked it and immediately gave a value. Without stopping, sometimes to forget the time turns out to be late at night. Even though in the previous semesters when receiving a bunch of files like this had made him feel tired.
After the exam period ends, the grades of each course have also come out on the campus website, and the time is continued with a fairly long study year-end vacation.
In between his relaxing Asti at home, suddenly his mobile phone rings. Asti was surprised and immediately saw who the person who had interfered with his time off, in the afternoon before that afternoon. When he saw the mobile phone screen, it turned out that the one who called was Mr. Eko. The holidays have just begun. Not even a day. Something disturbed his calm.
“Hallo Dik Asti?” the voice of Mr. Eko came out of his cellphone.
“Iya... Hello... What's up Mas?” asti Sahut.
“Good afternoon towards this beautiful and sunny afternoon, Dik Asti. Tomorrow's an event, Dik Asti?” ask Mr. Eko.
“I want to take you to watch a movie in the cinema together! There is a movie just aired and the movie is now being targeted by young people like us, Dik!”
Asti certainly did not want to with the invitation of Mr. Eko. Lifting the phone from him just now he was lazy, what else would be invited to go to watch both. He just wants to relax at home. But if it is used as an excuse to reject the invitation of Mr. Eko, it feels less appropriate.
But since they were talking over the phone, it was hard for the girl to say unequivocally that she did not want to go to a movie with him. Without further thought, Asti was forced to give another reason with lies. For him the important thing at that time was to be able to reject Mr. Eko's invitation for reasons that did not offend the man.
“Aduh Mas, sorry…. Tomorrow afternoon I'm on my way to Yogya!” he said, just jumping out of his mouth.
“Wah. Though the film is very good you know Dik” Pak Eko speaks in a soft voice. “But now it is still afternoon Dik Asti. How about we just watch it tonight? If you want I'll pick you up later at about half-time-seven nights”
“Wah Mas, this afternoon I already have my own plans Mas. Want to buy some goods and food for souvenirs or even for my own use in Yogya later. A lot I have to prepare” Asti again entangled in lies again.
“Sure to be fun, Mas. But unfortunately, I made an agreement with my Aunt to go together!” sahut Asti with the addition of his lies. “He also wants to find something, so the two of us will walk together. I'm sorry, Mas. And thanks for your attention”
“How about tomorrow I deliver to.” Pak Eko stops talking for a moment. “Eh, you are up tomorrow afternoon what Dik went to his Yogya?”
“Travel, Mas!” Asti thought, he should immediately find a ticket to go to Yogya. He no longer wanted to stand on lies for the sake of lies. Because the reason was only to avoid a man in a way that did not inculcate too much disappointment into his heart.
“Can I drop you to his place?”
“Thanks, Mas. If you really want to take me there, I will tell the travel office not to pick me up!” asti Sahut. Thought, what's wrong with giving a little medicine disappointed for Mr. Eko. For the man is a good man.
“Oh, they pick up the passengers until home huh?”
“Iya. There are several small vehicles that pick up passengers. Then take it to his office and then leave together with the bus. Lux bus, Mas. There's AC, video, footrests, pillows and even if it's big, there's a little room. And can have dinner too”
Mr Eko laughed “Hehe hehe.. Indeed how much the ticket price is Dik? How great to advertise the travel company!” said later.
Asti also laughed briefly. “Hehe... Later if not sold as a lecturer, I want to be an employee there!” sahut later. “Nah Mas, so tomorrow Mas want to take me there?”
“If Dik Asti doesn't mind!”
“No, as long as it is not troublesome Mas Eko” only
“I'm even happy Dik, can deliver you. What time do I have to pick you up tomorrow, Dik?”
“Tomorrow I'll let you know again, Mas. I'll ask you the exact time it left first!”
“If Dik Asti is picked up by the travel company what time is it usually?” ask Mr. Eko again.
“If the invitation from there in the afternoon has been picked up, Mas. Because it is caught a lot. It's actually better to go there by yourself. So it can be more night and more relaxing!”
“Alright then. Tomorrow I wait to hear from you, Dik!”
As soon as the conversation between him and Pak Eko was finished. Asti immediately called his family's travel office. Fortunately there were still some empty places even though they could no longer pick and choose places. Usually, it is not easy to get a ticket. Especially if the holiday season is like this. It should be a few days before leaving we should have booked the tickets in advance.
Knowing Asti suddenly wanted to go to Yogya, his mother and father were a bit surprised. Because usually when the girl has a plan, some time before must have been busy talking about it.
Seriate…
