I closed the book and put a pen on it. I cold my fingers trying to push the corner of my tired eyes.
As time passed, the tension continued to erode. It seems enough to get here that I work on the grid about this SBMPTN test.
Now my view
move to the outside. From inside the little cafe where I live, I can still
see the activities of a few people. Their movements look so
blurred by the droplets of millions of rain falling. Sometimes my eyes can
following the tiny stream that descended slowly by the clumping splashes of rain
in glass.
That's when it sounded
small vibration on the table. I pulled my phone and saw who called.
"Daughter?"
my murmurs mentioned the name on the screen. "Hello, man,
assalamu’alaikum."
["Wa’alaikumsalam.
Gita, where are you?"]
"I'm still at
outside."
["Still in
the job?"]
"Home home, then,
’sih. But I stopped by just waiting for the rain to stop. What's up?"
["I was at
your house, you know?!"] - the Princess' voice sounded annoyed.
"sorry. I suppose
you're not coming."
["You are! Oh
yeah, tomorrow's coming to the reunion, no?"]
"Emm .
go, ’deh."
["’Usahakan’?! Nah! It should come!"]
"Yes-yes."
["Truly ’lho,
huh?!"]
"Yes-yes, yeah,
anomie!"
["Yes already.
Tomorrow I'm going to your house. Let's go for a walk."]
"Walk?"
["Yes. What are you
not learning to continue? Refreshing first ’lah."]
"Hmm ..., okay,
’deh."
["Well, so,
’dong. I'll rest, yeah. Today I am really tired. I miss it too
same room. Aaah doll pillowkuuu~!"]
The noise is like
the collision I could hear after the Princess said so. It looks like he's direct
jump into his bed.
"Geez you here.
Okay, I'm going home, too."
["Be careful, though,
Git. Assalamu’alaikum."]
"Yes.
Wa’alaikumsalam."
That is, I even
smilingly imagining the Princess's behavior before putting my phone back.
Well, now stay
pack it up and put it in a bag, after which go home.
Stay outside, rain
it's been drizzling. City light reflected in the puddles
it is absorbed by raindrops that continue to flow from the edge of the roof. However
nostalgic.
I straighten the collar
my jacket and step towards the parking lot. Just opened the seat
motor, my hand stopped because I realized that I had forgotten to bring a raincoat.
Exasperated by this realization I immediately slammed my bag into the seat and reckless
to keep coming home drizzling. How else, it was my fault
I woke up late this morning.
In the middle of the journey
home, a Eating House is seen in view. The signboard is so
it was bright, and it was as if the warmth of the place was flowing out upon seeing
the inside.
"Oh yes, no
did Grandma ask you to buy me a fried duck?" muttered.
I stopped by right away and
order one serving immediately. After I finish what I need to do, which
all that's left now is to go home.
But that purpose
it disappeared immediately, after I was made silent at the door because I realized
the rain came down hard.
God, I just need
rest up! Can you just give me a little bit of luck for today?! But
come to think of it, what am I complaining about? The rain is getting heavier, so
once again I have to sincerely wait for the rain to subside like in the cafe earlier.
"Oh my goodness, it's raining
again?"
A voice sounded
not far from my place. Looks like a young couple just came out from the inside
This Eating House.
They both dress
PMR uniforms in a school. In each of their hands,
a large red plastic container containing dozens of visible food wrappers
pretty heavy. It looks like they're holding an event and are appointed to
buying food.
"I'm bringing a coat.
You just wear it. The food will be placed in the middle" said the man while
grabbing the big bag the girl was holding.
"Heh?! You'll be later
gonna rain!"
"It's okay, man,
near anyways, ’kok. What matters is that we have to get back. Poor thing
our juniors."
Hear that
dikatakan itu, si gadis pun terpaksa setuju dan menerima mantelnya. Dia
actually also worried, so he continued to look at the man with a face
swish. I could also notice that the man looked a little pale because
tired, but he still thought of others. That's what makes me
smile and remember something.
"The attitude
forcing yourself and sacrificing too much is .. so similar to her,"
muttered.
I looked back
ahead, looking up at the dark sky decorated with millions of grains
transparently. The cold and the rumbling sound of the rain that chime with the wind,
it was as if turning the previous warm nuance into frost.
Until unconsciously
my lips move tiny.
"Reuni later ...
he didn't come, did he?"
