The Crack of a Heart
Arrival of Guests

The sound of a cell phone ringing woke Arifa from her sleep. Next to his eyes he opened to see the time on the clock attached to the wall of his new room. He was surprised and looked around, then he took a deep breath.

Arifa searches for the existence of the phone by following the sound and vibration generated from her phone. It turned out that the item he was looking for, fell to the floor.

"It's a good thing it didn't crack or break" said Arifa, who spoke to herself. "Huh? whose number is this?"

Arifa answered the call. "Hallo?"

"Miss Arifa dimane? kok Auntie to a lonely house anyway. It's still gini morning."

Arifa recognized the voice that was none other than her own aunt, Lina.

"Jeez, Bi. Excuse me. Rifa has moved, later Rifa will tell her address through a message yes," replied Arifa while patting her forehead.

"But moved? kemane move? is this the ready house? brother Neng kemane emang?" Lina stormed Arifa with various questions.

"Later Rifa explained that Bibi had arrived here. By the way, is there anything Auntie isn't?" said Arifa who then asked Lina.

"She, his father had another day off. Iye sent me the address now ye."

"Yes Bi."

The phone connection was then cut off. Arifa immediately sent the address to the number that had called her, after which she put her phone back on the bed. Then get up and go to the bathroom that does not forget to bring a change of clothes.

Not long for Arifa to take a bath, she came out and changed her clothes. The towel in his hand was also dried in the clothes of the side wall of his bathroom.

Opened a refrigerator that he filled overnight with food that was deliberately brought from home. Then he thought for a moment to choose the food that he would make breakfast this morning. Then his choice was to make corn cream soup and minced meat, then he started cooking it.

After finishing breakfast, washing the dishes, Arifa also laid her body on the mattress while as usual watching Haechan live stream. However, when he was cool looking at the Korean oriental face that Haechan had, Arifa suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door from outside. He immediately locked his phone screen and then got up and walked towards the door.

Before that, he peeked out the window. It turned out that Lina, her husband as well as Zaki had been there. Arifa opened the door.

"Bi," said Arifa and Lina immediately hugged him.

"Kenape's gang moved here? far away this. Ape neng going to school at the front campus?" asked Lina with a bunch of more questions. Arifa just chuckled amusedly.

"Before Rifa answered, let's go in first. It's not good for the neighbors outside the gini," Arifa asked while giving way to Lina and her family.

"By the way, Dinda where is Bi? school is he?" arifa asked after they sat on a carpet.

"Iye, ordinary Dinda mah. Departing early in the morning," replied Lina."

"Oh that ... Auntie, um, Zaki, what do you want to drink? rifa take it." Arifa offered them a treat.

"Don't bother Neng. This was also Aunt mah anterin neng food to the house. Lah pas Bibi asked neighbor Neng he said udeh moved, continue to sell. That pegimane story?"

Arifa held her breath for a moment, then said. "Before Bi, let Rifa take a drink first. Poor thing to be away from home here."

Lina nodded and Arifa went to the kitchen. Before long, Arifa brought a tray containing drinks as well as some snacks.

"It's the same drink tasted, please Bi, Om, Zaki."

The three guests of Arifa drank and tasted what he served. Then Arifa began to tell the initial incident why the house could be sold including the matter of Zakaria and Brama sir.

After being told at length by Arifa, Lina also understood this time.

"Keep mamah Neng now how? die knows that Neng sold the house?" asked Lina and Arifa just shaking her head in response. "If ever mamah Neng came with gimane?" ask Lina again.

Arifa shrugged both of her shoulders, gesturing her ignorance. "Until now, Arifa did not know where she was. Though the same boutique distance of the house is not too far away, but pas papah died, mamah there is absolutely no nengokin Arifa or not kak Farhan."

Arifa who felt tired with Sinta who was very stubborn. Her tears were not flowing like before. He felt his sad time was over. All he knew and remembered in his mind, whatever had happened in his life. Whatever stamp someone else gave him. Arifa deserves to be happy with herself. He believes, any kind of reply later to what his parents did to him, Arifa must be strong and can pass through.

"Oh iye, this taro food used to be there inside for Neng's lunch" Lina said as she shifted the bushel that had been nearby to get closer to Arifa.

"Same-same. Oh iye Neng, Auntie, can't you look around this is the hostel?" ask Lina later.

"Byeah, come Bi," Arifa asked as she stood up.

"Mom, Zaki's coming" said Zaki who also stood up.

"I'm waiting outside yeah, I'm going to smoke" said her husband Lina.

Arifa also began to tell there is any room in this one house. Lina was stuck with the design of the boarding place which she thought was very luxurious from most boarding places.

"How much money is Neng?" asked Lina who was starting to be curious.

"Two million five hundred thousand rupiah, Bi."

Hearing the price that Arifa mentioned, Lina was shocked. But beyond his surprise, he was not surprised by the price.

"Ye good anyway, it's only natural that the price is that much. Apples in the middle of the city are like Neng."

"Yes Bi."

"Oh iye Neng, Aunty can not be long ye. Si Dinda was afraid of nyariin appleagi Bibi lupe if the house key even kebawa like Aunty," said Lina when they had been in the front room.

"Well, just for a moment Bi" said Arifa who felt sad.

"Entar ye, if you fit again in the holiday pade. Kite play again here," said Lina to make Arifa entertained and smile.

"Yes, Bi!" arifa and Lina cried quickly.

Arifa escorted Lina and Zaki to the front of the boarding house. Her husband Lina who had just finished smoking frowned.

"Would you like this kemane?" ask Lina's husband.

"You go home Bang. That's Dinda ntar nyariin. Pan aye key brought, forgot to put on the doorstop," replied Lina with a very thick betawinya accent, as well as her husband.

"Oh, kenape forgot. Ye nyok already! .. kite go home first ye Neng. Bae-bae is here, pinter-pinter take care of himself," said her husband Lina and Arifa also nodded in understanding.

They've been riding his matic motorbike. Arifa waved her hand. "Be careful on the road Bi, Om ... Zaki beware don't sleep!" arifa said while giving a warning to Zaki who was sitting in front.

"Yes Teteh" said Zaki.

After they left, Arifa went inside and closed the door again. He cleaned up drinks and snacks that were still on the carpet and put back into the kitchen. Then he went to the room to play the phone.

When opening the phone screen, Arifa saw many notifications there, including he was put in a campus group for ospek whose members were more than five hundred people.

Because of the many chats that entered from the group, Arifa also turned off the notification. Then in one of the chats there announced about ospek tomorrow.

"So have to buy equipment too" said Arifa monologue. Without lingering, he headed to the study table and tore a piece of paper from inside his new binder and wrote down whatever materials he would buy at the stationery store.

When he finished, he looked for the nearest store through maps. "Ah is close" he said. Arifa immediately grabbed the helmet and grabbed the key to go to the store.

Arriving at the store, Arifa went inside and did not forget to take off the helmet and put it in the rearview mirror of the motorbike. But, suddenly ...

BRUK!!

"Aw!" cry Arifa while holding her shoulder. "Who's the fuck!" he said, who was upset, then raised his face while looking at the person who hit him just now.

Arifa struggled to swallow her saliva when she found out who was now in front of her.

"You!"
