Remember

Remember
New secretary?


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?"
