I woke up because my alarm went off. Uh, is this true? Is it dawn? I'll grab my phone soon. Whoa, right! It's five o'clock in the morning. I rarely wake up when the alarm goes off. During my sleep at the boarding house, I must have woken up due to disturbances that were not clear where it came from. The sound of baby crying, the sound of a cat meowing, even the sound of a wheelchair. Tonight I got enough sleep, I slept well, I slept well. Happy for me is so simple.
I got up and prayed dawn. Yuda was still sleeping while hugging his roll. After the dawn prayer, I continued to sleep.

I saw Bang Oji crying, crouching and hugging his neck, not wearing a shirt. His face was down, crying until it sobbed.
"Bao. Bang Oji's. Why bang?" called him.
He did not answer, he just kept crying. As if I didn't care. This time his cry grew, groaning.
I walked closer to Bang Oji. I crouched down beside him. I touched his shoulder.
"Bao. Bang Oji, why bang?" I asked while patting her shoulder slowly.
Suddenly her crying stopped.
"Bao. Why bang?" I asked back.
His face was bowed, slowly raised. I was stunned to see that Bang Oji's eyeballs were absent, only an empty hole could be seen that was spitting out fresh blood. I fell backwards in shock, then retreated slowly.
"Di, please Di. Where are my eyes?" Bang Oji asked me, his hand as if it wanted to grab me.
I retreated quickly, but Bang Oji's hand grabbed my leg. I freaked.
"In, please look me in the eye" he said, holding my leg firmly.
"Where are my eyes?"
"My eyes are not on."
Bang Oji kept asking about his eyes, crying and still bleeding from his eye hole so that it flooded his cheeks.
I screamed, kicking. Hoping that Bang Oji would release the clutches of his hands on my feet. But his hands were strong, my feet hurt.
"Eye On. Where are my eyes? Please look me in the eye." He's still talking about his eyes that don't exist.
"Gue doesn't know bang. Lepasin. Lepaaaass!"
Plakk!

I opened my eyes, my cheeks were sore. The face of Yuda I saw when I opened my eyes.
"Woi Di, Di. Wake Up At." Yuda said while patting my cheek. "Woi, wake up woi!".
I'm fully aware. Dreamlike. It was just a dream. Haaahh, thank goodness. I took a long, relieved breath.
"What dream are you?" ask Yuda. I still lay my body on the carpet.
"Eh, what dream are you? That's a hell of a bitch." Yuda asked again.
I rubbed my eyes slowly.
"How was my sleep, Da?" I asked limp.
"Lo's feet are not clear. Keep yelling 'get loose', dreams in rape who lo? Hahahahahaha." ledek Yuda, he spoke while looking at the computer screen.
"Dam lo!" I glanced at the wall clock in Yuda's room. At 08:15. I also fell asleep after the dawn prayer.
Tok to tok. Yuda's room door was knocked.
"Mas Yuda, breakfast is ready. Want to eat downstairs or take you to your room?" the voice asked from outside the room.
"Let's eat under me! Thank you." said Yuda.
"Heh, wash your face there! Have breakfast." take Yuda.
I got up and washed my face. Then we went down to the dining table. There are already two dishes of jumbo fried noodles with a beef egg on top, complete with meatballs and sausages, as well as small slices of dice-shaped carrots. Seeing it for a moment made my eating desire soar.
"What do you drink?" he asked Yuda.
"White water only mbak. But make the usual coffee mbak. What do you want to drink, Di?"
"Beautiful tea is hot." I replied.
We had breakfast, and again I ate. It was really good cooking.
"Di, Adi." Yuda called me, he looked astonished.
"He? A an i na?" sahutku with mouth full of fried noodles.
"Buset dah Di, you haven't eaten from small huh? Gragas." I'm not talking about Yuda. "A. Adi! Woi." call him again.
"A an naaa?" my mouth is full, my cheeks are swollen.
"Slow woi!" Yuda.
"I aaa." I answered inaudibly.

Today I was just lounging in Yuda's room. WiFi access is safe and speeding, comfortable rooms with a semriwing AC blow, room aroma Yuda fragrant and make a feel at home, soft mattress and goose feather fill pillow. The real sultan, yes my friend Yuda. After the prayer, the mbak again called for lunch. Wow, it's so good to live like this. We went downstairs to lunch.
Si mbak make Soto chicken with coconut milk sauce, heart-fried sambal, and corn bakwan. A large jar of fish croup is available. My mouth was flooded with saliva, hehehehe.
"Heh, Mas Ndeso. Eat it slowly!" said Yuda.
"Yes Da yaaa. Come on Da, please eat don't be shy." I reply.
"Haha. Yes Mas Adi, thank you I can already eat at Mas Adi's house." Yuda replied with a joke.
"Nothing Mas Yuda, I understand the condition of Mas Yuda again distress. Hahahahaha." I chimed in.
I scooped the rice first, could not bear to see the chicken soto and the corn bakwan who called me to chew immediately.
"Yes come. Talk later Da, I'm focusing on eating." I said.
Tuk. Yuda threw a piece of fish crack into my head.
He just smiles at my behavior.

Mr. Satpam opened the wide gate. Yuda and I went to Yuda's workshop. Om Galih.
"Gapain bring a car anyway Da. It's also good to ride the motorbike, not jammed." I asked.
"Yes yes. Damn, just came out of the gate of housing, it has been jammed." said Yuda.
Traffic near the housing where Yuda lives is heavy, because it is close to shopping centers and crossroads. Automatic to become stuck subscription. Not to mention food stalls that set up tents on the lips of the road, sometimes making traffic become disrupted.
"But I prefer to ride the car anyway Di, if the weather is hot like this" said Yuda.
The weather outside is hot, the sunlight this afternoon looks stinging. Fortunately, Yuda decided to take a car. We were stuck in traffic this afternoon. Until we arrived at Om Galih's workshop, it was almost in ashar time.
I followed Yuda, we entered the workshop. Om Galih's workshop is very large, the tools look modern, the employees work quite a lot and all wear the same uniform. It's a classy workshop. There are about seven cars working in the garage.
We walked into a two-story building at the end of the workshop, and went upstairs. Upstairs there is a special waiting room for customers, the room looks comfortable. There are several sofas and chairs neatly arranged with tables. The decoration is slick, there are several potted plants in the corner of the room and a small pot on the table. In the corner of the room was a water dispenser and glasses. All for customer convenience.
I walked behind Yuda, and Judah opened a glass door. A man with glasses and stocky body with arm muscles large enough. Wearing a checkered shirt.
"Of!" greet Yuda. Oh, this is Om Galih.
"Lo gapain?" ask Om Galih to Yuda.
"Main aja om's. Uh this is Yuda um, Adi's name." Yuda introduced, I also salaman with Om Galih.
"More than asking for money? Hehehehe." Om Galih asked Yuda.
"Others, all asking for money. Hahahaha." replied Yuda.
Yuda also explained the intention of his arrival that afternoon, that tomorrow Yuda will deliver an antique car to check all kinds of obstacles in the car.
"Don't tomorrow, om's most good mechanic is sick Da." said Om Galih.
"It's okay, you can put the car here. What pain is it? The wind at most." reply Yuda.
"I don't know what pain, last night on the phone he said he was possessed. Au dah, om do not understand." replied Om Galih while sucking vape and exhaling thick smoke to the ceiling.
"Corruption? Hehehe. Is it still the age of the possessed?" yuda Tukas. "Of course, if that's what Yuda said."
"Yes, tomorrow you drive the car. But put it in the back, yes, the usual place." said Om Galih.
"yes om. Uh, almost forgot. Where's om?" Yuda to meet Om Galih.
"Aaahhh, just for the money." Om Galih opened the drawer, giving three hundred thousand pieces of money to Judah.
"Thank you" he said with a chuckle, then we shook hands with Om Galih.
We left the workshop, the next goal was to take me home to the boarding house. Fortunately, afternoon traffic to the campus is not too crowded. Yuda and I were planning to have a relaxing coffee at the One Way Coffee Shop, because Yuda had just received an injection of funds from Om Galih.
Suddenly, there was a traffic jam. Though the distance to the campus is only a few dozen meters away, the buildings have been seen from a distance.
"Ah shit, stuck what the hell is this?" Yuda.
The car is slow. Then it stopped again, and the way back slowly.
"This is definitely an accident, it can't be this chaotic." Yuda said as he opened the glass beside him. Yuda turned his head looking out.
"Well, there really was an accident" he said.
"Da hell." I was curious, I opened the glass next to me. The car is still moving slowly. I saw a crowd of people at the end of the street. Sure enough, there was an accident.
The car approached the crowd. There was a man who organized the traffic, telling the vehicle to keep going.
"Well, an accident?" my yelling.
"No! People kill themselves." he replied.
A suicide?
I saw a crowd of people in a circle, in the middle of which was a body covered in newspapers. There was fresh blood seen near the body. The car is still moving slowly.
"Teroooss!" another man organized the traffic.
"Bang, how's his suicide?" ask me to the lekaki.
"Jump off the bridge" he answered. "Terooooss!" he reorganized.
Not far from my campus gate, there is indeed a bridge crossing. Built specifically for students who want to cross the road, but the bridge was never used at all. Students prefer to cross through the zebra cross right in front of the campus gate.
"Buset, serem very suicidal jump from the bridge crossing" said Yuda. "The jump, under it can be hit again the same vehicle" he continued.
"Double kill dong Da! Hehehehe." I said.
"Crazy, not a double kill anymore. Can-can savage, jump down, to the bottom directly on the car hit the truck! Hahahaha." added Yuda.
We also arrived at the coffee shop. Yuda and I heaved a sigh of relief after the traffic jam caused by someone committing suicide.
"Bro, someone committed suicide jumping off a bridge crossing. Do you know what?" ask Bang Dede.
"That's a damn good idea. This is because it got stuck because of it." replied Yuda.
"Says the kid behind the campus. In, you're boarding behind campus, don't you know it?" ask Bang Dede.
"When I know, my scope is a small boarding house. Behind the campus is a huge bang. It could be a native who committed suicide" I replied.
Yuda and I spent the afternoon with coffee in the shop. Bang Dede was at our table. We talked a lot, we joked, we laughed. Until a moment of laughter was lost, when I read a message from Kang Ujang.
- Deck, Bang Oji committed suicide -
