The Fall of the Star
Chapter 16 Starts to Be Suspicious

The month of Ramadan arrives. The days of Ayudia remained as usual, busy with work from morning to evening, if overtime could go home at eight o'clock. Salad tarawih is almost always left behind. What power, the factory is indeed pursuing deposit delivery before Lebaran arrives. So that the production employees are required to work harder. Daily targets are added, and overtime hours can sometimes be applied every day.

On the one hand, Ayudia is happy because her salary is getting bigger by the addition of overtime money that is not small. Overtime money is tempting because the nominal is twice as large as the salary in ordinary effective hours. However, of course, it is also comparable to fatigue and fatigue that affects his mind and body. Fortunately Ayudia who is still fit and rarely sick as long as they want to eat regularly never experience serious pain other than the achievement that results in having to subscribe to a masseuse every month.

“Dia ... You fast?” A co-worker took lunch that day at the factory because their work that day was so much that the stomach was hungry rumbling.

“Yes lah!” answer Ayudia cuek. He has familiarized himself with the many other employees who are seen eating and drinking freely even in the month of Ramadan as it was. Well, to reprimand also feels inappropriate, because he also can not be said to be pious.

“Yahhh .. yaudah, I left for the cafeteria first, yes!” The friend said goodbye and was taken by Ayudia. He is not affected by them. About the obligation of worship that one he was quite responsible. Not infrequently in the afternoon break he just came out of the workspace for Dzuhur prayer and then returned to the room again to sleep on a small mattress that is commonly used as employees of the base to sleep in kala break.

Sometimes, if his eyes never closed, he will reply to a chat from Elvira and finally boasted. What else was discussed with Elvira besides her bragging, right? He forgot that he was fasting at the time and that his reward might be completely lost due to his lies. Holy hooch!

Elvira also talks about her own college. Where are many things that he should usually discuss with Ayudia first in High School. But because now Ayudia said that she majored in English Literature which is very different from the department of Elvira which is Public Health Science. Yes, indeed, from the beginning Elvira's goal was to work in the health sector even though she did not want to major in medicine because her passion was to take to the field to participate in maintaining health in the community in real terms.

In fact, just by pretending to go to college, Ayudia can already forget her dream of going to college for real. He no longer wants to go to college because his time is up for work. Maybe about the cost now he can use his work savings, but then want to take the college hours when? While until night sometimes he just returned home mandatory overtime that can not be contested.

“Oh, yes. When are you coming home, then, Him? Let me stop by your house. Preoccupation in Bandung, do not go home!” elvira asked a few times.

Ayudia immediately gasped every time she was asked about it. She was afraid that Elvira would suddenly come to her house and ask her mother. Could serious!

“I may be less than two new days home, El. If you want to go to my house, make an appointment, yes! You see I'm afraid that I have an event to my family's house.”

“Iya-iya, I will tell you first if you want to go to your house,” replied Elvira later.

“Oh, a. Actually I have to ask you for help, he is. Could it be if I drop a book from the viral bookstore in Bandung? Close to the same campus location you fit me googling,” said Elvira later.

“Hah? What book is it? Which in the store anyway?” Ayudia was again made a fool of by Elvira's request this time.

How could he buy Elvira's order when he was here and here, never to Bandung at all other than just hallucinations!

“Yes, because I don't have much money, El. So meningan after college in kosan only if there is no BEM activity. I've been busy lately, too, so I haven't been anywhere,” said Ayudia back to putting together the perfect lie.

“But again very sale, He. I just transfer the money to you and then please stop by to buyin, huh? So let's go home Lebaran later you can bring it. Pleaseee ...” pinta Elvira slightly beg.

Ayudia finally agreed and asked for the title of the book that was requested earlier. He was determined to order it online so that Elvira did not suspect.

“Yeayyy! Thanks, Dia! You are the best!” pekik Elvira pleasures. Immediately send him a list of the title of the book he wants to buy.

Ayudia breathed a long sigh while imagining that later she had to stay up late to search the internet search box and marketplace address of the store and then order a list of Elvira's books online. Holy hooch! Additional tasks, as if he was still less busy!

And the problem arises when apparently, as Elvira said, the books he was looking for were great sale editions with big discounts but specifically for purchases at bazaar stands. And of course it was a problem for Ayudia, she was not near the location of the bazaar

He had found his store in the marketplace and put a list of Elvira's books in the order basket for him to check out at his address. Later when he arrived, he would admit that he himself brought it directly from Bandung.

Some of these books cannot be checked out online. There is a statement that the bazaar edition book can only be purchased at the stand directly.

“Ouch! What reasons should I use to El?” ayudia complains alone in the room when she finds out the reality.

He did not want if until Elvira suspected because only diitipi book only he did not want. Even though the money has also been sent to Ayudia's account. So he could not reason not to have the money to bail the deposit.

“Yeah! How's it?” Ayudia was getting worried.

That night Ayudia thought hard how to tell Elvira that the title could not be brought. Finally, he decided that he would lie when he went to the store was out of stock. Yeah, that's all he'll say later. Although somehow, apparently Elvira can know that the stock in the store is still there. It is still written available.

“Why yes, Ayudia really not willing to just be signed some books? Money also I gave you first in fact,” complained Elvira alone after Ayudia sent him an apology chat and had transferred back Elvira's money.

“Until a lie has run out of everything,” he continued still suspicious of the incident.
