The End of the Road
Chapter 88's

That night Arin slept restlessly. He changed positions many times. Lumbago. Then tilt to the left. Back again outstretched and then tilted again. Like something was bothering him. It seems that Arin is dreaming. Maybe he was having a bad dream.

Suddenly Arin shouted.

"Fians.. Fians.."

Then Arin fell asleep again. I don't know what dream he was. After shouting earlier Arin was able to sleep quietly. No more changing positions. Now Arin's sleeping position is tilted to the right.

Suddenly Arin screamed again. This time it was harder.

"Fians.. Fian.not Fian. Not Fian.. Don't." Don't."

And Arin woke up. He sat down and looked around the room.

"Gue dreams again. The dream is coming again."

Arin is still sitting. Sweat drenched his forehead. Arin scooped his face. He looks agitated. Then Arin got up and took a drink that he always provided at the room table. He sipped all the water in the glass until it ran out.

Arin walked out to the bathroom. He then took the ablution water. Arin performed evening prayers to calm his heart.

After waking up from the dream, his feelings became unsettled. Feeling of excessive worry. But it was just a dream. Arin is afraid that something will happen to Fian. After the prayer Arin still sat glued. Many prayers were offered for Fian's safety and the calmness of his day.

Long enough Arin prayed. After the Arin prayer does not go to sleep. He's still awake. His feelings were a little calm.

Arin sat on the side of the bed. She took her phone and opened it.She saw a message from Fian. He opens and reads. He understands. Because Arin felt Fian's message was very disturbing to his heart. Arin did not understand the meaning of the message from Fian . He read it repeatedly.

"This is the photo that just now.Lo looks very beautiful. Like sugar in bitter coffee. Very fit to be a complement. It was beautiful like dusk in the afternoon. Keep smiling like this. Never be sad for something unnecessary. Be the Arin who is always strong. In any situation."

Arin pensive. But really Fian said. Arin has to be a strong girl.

"What does Fian mean to send such a message. Then my dream was. What's the connection."

Arin still thought about everything. He can't sleep anymore. Arin looked at the clock on his phone. It's almost three in the morning. Actually, he's gotta sleep again. Otherwise, you will feel sleepy at work. But he tried to close his eyes. But it didn't work out to sleep.

Finally Arin got up and headed to the kitchen. It turns out that mom is awake. Today there is a cake order to be taken at ten in the morning. That's why you have to wake up so early.

"Come on, I'm awake." Ask your mother while making a paste of steamed sugar sponge cake.

"Usually Arin is also awake Bun."

Arin approached mother. It helps put the dough into the steamer.

"What kind of cake today."

" One hundred and fifty-three kinds of cakes, Rin. Make a meeting he said. Thank God Rin. Our wind keeps flowing."

"Yes mother, from home we can also make money."

Arin approached mother. Arin hugged her mother from the side. Actually he wanted to hug the mother from earlier. But there is no reason. Now there is a reason to hug my mother. Arin's heart isn't okay. He needs a hug from mom. But if you suddenly immediately hug, afraid mother suspicious and also anxious.

"You why. Spoiled tumben like this." Say mother while her hands continue to move to put the dough into the mold.

"There's nothing bun, just want to hug mom."

Arin put his head on my shoulders. He wants to tell stories but is afraid to add burden to his mother.

"Well, if you don't want to tell a story." Mother returned Arin's embrace. Mother stroked Arin's shoulder. Of course this makes Arin's feelings slightly improved.

"Eh . I picked up the cake. I can be bund."

Arin walked towards the stove carrying a tray to lift the cooked steamed sponge and put in the immature dough again.

"Tumben is up."

Suddenly Rama was in the kitchen.

"Rama. ikh made my sister shocked."

Arin was surprised to hear the voice of Rama who suddenly rebuked him. Arin slapped Rama's shoulder slowly.

"No one is too pervasive role as inem. Ahaha.."

"But it has to be focused. It's hot Ram. If it's hot, it's hot."

The three of them were working on my order while talking light things. Things can divert Arin's unreasonable feelings.

I don't feel like time is passing. The dawn prayer has been reverberated. Arin went back to the room and got ready for work. So did Rama. Cake making continues mother herself. Just pack up.

Rama and Arin and the rest of the family had to go out. Their daily lives are so. Some leave home to work and go to school. Only my mother is at home.

🌸🌸🌸

That afternoon Arin after work directly to the campus. He had to meet his lecturer to seek approval of the title of his script. This is Arin's last year of college. Now he's working on a thesis. He had to see the lecturer often for consultation on the theme of his script. Arin wants to be able to finish college soon and get a college degree soon.

He must graduate this year. That was Arin's determination. Therefore he must be excited. To shake off all the fatigue he felt. Put aside all his feelings. He did not want his current state to interfere with his script. Disturbing his focus on the lesson.

After work, he did not go home. Straight to campus. The professor told me he was present today. And that's Arin's chance to meet. To discuss his thesis.

Arin runs his bike slowly towards the campus. Arin arrived at the campus towards the Maghrib. He went straight to mushola. While waiting for the Maghrib adhan. Because he promised to meet the lecturer after Maghrib. It's impossible to go home first. Even wasting time for free.

After the Maghrib prayer immediately Arin headed for the lecturer room. He promised to meet there. Arin knocked on the door of the lecturer's room.

Tok.

"Dude.."

"Aryn.."

They were both surprised. Look at each other and point fingers at his opponent's body.

"Bang Bima is here..." Ask Arin to the guy.

"Yes Rin.. Go inside first.. " Bima invited Arin to enter the room.

"Arin wants to meet the guidance counselor. Arin wants to set the title and the first paragraph of Arin's thesis. Why's brother here.." Arin was astonished. Because in the lecturer room there is only one Bima. He had already researched all the corners of the room with his tail.

"You're a student here." Ask Bima casually. He already knows that Arin went to college here. He pretended not to know. He thought it would be a surprise for Arin.

"Yes bang. Arin's question was answered. Why is he in this room?"

Bima laughs. He wants to prank Arin. Arin would be surprised.

"Haha.. You must be surprised yeah, I'm here." Bima was happy to see Arin's confusion.

"It's really Bang. I'm going to meet the supervising lecturer in this room."

"Who's the name of the teacher?"

"Bimantara Syahputra's.. Don't tell that professor. The name of Abang Bima is also.."

Arin put his index finger on his forehead. As if thinking.

"Haha.. You are so funny, Rin. Pantesan Bara likes." Bima laughed even harder. He just feels funny. Could be Arin's lecturer.

At first he did not want to accept the offer of his father to replace him. Papa will go abroad to take care of his business. The papa assigned Bima to replace his duties briefly. Papa said only briefly and will get a bonus if you want to replace the task of the papa. That's why Bima accepted all papa's offers. Not replaced, no problem. But said papa, kasian there are students who need guidance for thesis. That is why the father made an offer to Bima.

"Bang Bima is a lecturer."

Arin is confused. He just looked at Bima. Can't believe that his tutor was someone he knew.

"Yes Arin. I replaced papa. Papa's on a business trip. I don't want to have to replace him here."

"Oh so. Then my thesis how dong."

"How what. I'll be replacing papa as well to be your tutoring."

Arin still doesn't believe it. He feels careless. What could later he study under the leadership of Bima who in fact likes to joke.

"You doubt me huh.Hm.."

"Not so bang. Uh Mr. Lecturer."

Arin was confused as to what to call. He got clumsy and went wrong.

"Obsolutely Arin. You can still call me brother. If it is in class, do not. Ok."

"Good Mr. Lecturer.."

"Haha.. Funny that sounds."

Bima even laughed. Arin is getting clumsy. He just looked down.

"Yes, we're just starting now. Where can I see what you've written."

Arin and Bima started to talk seriously. Seeing Bima's professional attitude, Arin became comfortable. Bima could put himself as what is here. Arin was finally able to adjust as well. He was easily able to express what he had in mind about the thesis he would write later.

So focused on discussing with Bima, Even Arin forgot his promise to Bara. He had absolutely no recollection that this afternoon he had an appointment to meet Bara in front of the hospital. He had no idea that Bara was waiting for him in front of the hospital where they had been scheduled to meet.

🌸🌸🌸

Dusk has passed since. The orange color on the western horizon has disappeared. Even Adzan isya has reverberated. He was still sitting in front of the hospital. Still waiting for Arin who promised to meet after work. But until now there was no news at all.

"Where is Arin. How come there's no news. Did he forget. It's almost eight o'clock. Do I just go home. But if he comes later how."

Bara speaks for himself. Many times he looked towards the road. Who knows, Arin suddenly appears. Many times Bara looked at her watch. He's been waiting long enough. But still no sign of Arin will appear. And none of the messages he received from Arin.

"What Arin forgot. This promise is not important to him. Maybe she never looked at me for a bit." Bara is still waiting. He was afraid that Arin would suddenly come and he was not around.

I saw his cell phone. Arin status in the WhatsApp application online at six. It was three hours ago. And all that time he waited. Will Arin come as promised. Does Bara have to keep waiting. Did Arin forget his promise to Bara.

Finally he got up from his seat. He's feeling hungry. He headed towards the meatball tent and ordered a portion. He eats out of the tent. He eats meatballs in his car, so he can see Arin coming.

But until the meatballs in the bowl run out, Arin has not been seen. Bara began to despair. It's been too late and he's been waiting too long.

"Maybe he really didn't come. Maybe he had completely forgotten his promise. Yes, it's better to just go home. I hope he's okay."

After paying for his order Bara runs his car home. Because Bara felt there was no hope anymore. It's been too late. There's no way Arin's coming.

He came home in a state of sluggishness. But he hopes at other times he can still promise to meet Arin again.
