THE MYSTERY of Alas Hamlet
#1

This morning, Tania was preparing to leave KKN with her group friends. KKN is one of the mandatory activities for all final-level students if they want to complete their studies.

In one group of Tania, there were twelve people. Among them are: Tiwy, Ebot, Sekar, Aisyah and Tania themselves who are friends of the faculty. While other friends exist: Abid, Vhie, Wulan, Vicky, Kevin, Riswanto, and Saiful from different faculties. They had gathered in the campus yard waiting for a vehicle that would take them to the KKN place. All accommodation has been prepared from the campus. Not only them, but there are several other groups that will indeed leave KKN today as well.

“You be careful yes while there,” Nathan said attentively. They were waiting for another friend to come. Nathan has been coming to the boarding house since dawn and forced to take Tania to campus, because today Nathan is free.

“Iya, Nath. Doain hope everything is smooth,” replied Tania and Nathan just slightly nodded with a meaningful gaze.

Since arriving at the college, Nathan was seen often staring at Tania. Moreover, while Tania was chatting with her friend, Nathan secretly stole a glance at Tania. There was a sense of worry in Nathan's heart and his concerns were well-founded.

Tania already felt an uneasy feeling the moment after hearing the place she and her group of friends were going to visit for KKN duty. Tania had imagined how the place was going there from the story of one of her mentors. However, Tania immediately dismissed her bad thoughts and tried to stay positive.

Tania feels that Nathan's attitude has become more possessive lately. In fact, Nathan had already figured out how things were going there since Tania was leaving for KKN today.

Nathan also informed the state of the place there a few days ago. “There are many forests. You should always be careful and never go alone.”

Tania was not so anxious with humans. But, he was worried because there was an invisible creature!

Since being with Nathan, Tania began to feel more calm and able to control her fears. That's because Nathan was always around. But now, the two of them had to be separated for miles and miles for some time.

In fact, Tania's relationship with Nathan is currently still at the approach stage. But, it has become a habit of Nathan who often take Tania when he was there time and opportunity.

In fact, Tania always thought, is it worth this kind of relationship just a friend? With all the attention Nathan always gives Tania? I don't know, Tania doesn't understand and currently still doesn't want to think about this unclear relationship.

“Eh, that's them coming. Yuk, we're going there!” take Tania to a friend beside her, then approach her new friends. Nathan follows her from behind with Tania's suitcase.

“Well, getting stickier romeo and juliet?” the new Sindir Tiwy came while glancing towards Tania and Nathan.

Tania without warning immediately caught Tiwy whose hobby teased her until Tiwy complained.

“Aduh...aww! Pain, anjir!”

“Racaine!”

“Lol, Nath?” asked Aisyah while gulping down the full cream milk box she was carrying.

“Iya, Shah, day off. But you want to go instead KKN,” replied Nathan with a resigned facial expression that seemed unwilling if they left, or ... Tania left?

“For a moment, my brain suddenly digs. Don't know what you said just now.”

“Iya, Shah. Day holiday. But even Tania wants to go KKN. That's what Nathan means, Aisyaaah!” said Ebot who interrupted their chat and immediately laughed followed by the laughter of other friends.

Ebot and Tiwy are indeed a compact couple who like to be ignorant of Tania and Nathan's relationship which is still unclear wherever they are.

“Damn lo!” as Nathan put his arms around her neck and flanked Ebot's head with his arms, he was embarrassed by Ebot's taunts.

Tania was just shaking her head at their behavior. “Others still haven't come yet huh?” tanya Tania to Sekar who is looking at the KKN participant notice board.

“Know tuh. A moment more may come, Tan,” Sekar replied without turning his gaze from the notice board in front of him, then called Tania. “Eh, Tan. See deh!”

“Paan?” Tania turned her head to look at Sekar.

“Heavy fans follow our group,” said Sekar while pointing with his index finger towards a very familiar name.

“Who the hell?” Tania approached Sekar curiously feeling she had no fans.

“Saiful Jamil, son of the Law.” Had not had time to read the designated name, Sekar had already mentioned that name.

Oh shit! inward Tania while staring at Saiful Jamil's name on the notice board.

“Uhuk, uhuk!” Suddenly Nathan choked on the mineral water Aisyah gave him.

While Aisyah chuckled amusedly while patting Nathan's back. “Eat him slowly drink, Nath.”

“Who lo, Nath? Cieee, jealous yeee?” ledek Tiwy who always flanked Ebot's arm.

“Paan anyway lo?! My throat hurts again!” nathan said as an excuse, and of course no one believed him.

“What throat does your heart hurt?” ledek Ebot was followed by a laugh that immediately exploded, then ran away from the reach of Nathan who was already staring at him with a murderous gaze. Ebot is afraid of being strangled again by Nathan.

Nathan remained silent and gulped down his mineral water again.

“After this, where are you going?” ask Nathan Tania.

“Balik kos aja deh,” replied Nathan flat.

“Nevent returned to mom's house with papa you?” ask Tania again.

“Ngak. Again males to everywhere,” replied Nathan with a sour face.

“Oh, so. Yes already, later you do not eat late and do not sleep kemaleman,” advice Tania who has already memorized how the habits of Nathan. Often late to eat if not reminded, and also like to stay up every night just to play games that make him forget time.

The look on Nathan's face that was originally sour because he was annoyed when he found out that the man who he said was a big fan of Tania's group with Tania, now turned to be happy after hearing Tania's advice. However, Nathan did not show his pleasure.

“Still yes,” Nathan said holding back his smile. “Oh yes, almost forgot. You wear this yes. Here I get from Mama after umrah last week.” Nathan gives Tania a silver necklace with Asma Allah.

“Loh, why are you being given to me?” tania asked in surprise despite not resisting and looked down at the necklace that was already in her hands.

“You need more. Hopefully this necklace can always take care of you while there because I can not come every time to nengokin you there,” said Nathan who immediately made Tania's heart beat fast. “Sini, let me put it on,” Nathan said again while taking the necklace and putting it on Tania's neck so that it makes Tania's heart beat faster and almost jump from her nest.

“Still yes,” said Tania with a smile holding back her excitement that almost jumped up in joy.

Jesus, Nath! Why the hell, you always make me a gini baper? inner Tania.

Before long, other KKN participants began to arrive.

“Udah complete its participants. Come on, we're leaving now!” kevin gave the command. KKN participants walked towards the elf car and one by one climbed inside.

Tania stopped her steps and turned her head to look at Nathan. “I leave first huh?” he said goodbye to Nathan, then immediately got into the elf's car. But, before Tania climbed up, her hand was grabbed by Nathan, making Tania turn her head back and look at him.

“You're careful there huh? If it's perfect, I will definitely come there,” said Nathan while holding the hand of Tania who had almost climbed into the elf car.

“Iya, Nath. Yeah, see you around. Bye.” Tania immediately walked in and picked a chair by the window right beside Nathan who was standing still watching her.

I haven't left yet I feel like I'm kangen. Uh, why the hell am I? How kangen? Damnit damnit! inner Nathan.

Ebot, who was still outside the car, approached Nathan. “That was Saiful Jamil, lo!”'s rival ebot whispered slightly as he pointed towards Saiful Jamil who was walking towards the car with a backpack on his back.

Nathan looked at Saiful with a sharp look.

Tania who has since sat in the car watching Nathan only smiled amusedly because she felt funny with Nathan's reaction which turned out to be easily affected by the ignorance of his friends who seduce him.

“Titip Tania, Bot!” Nathan as Ebot gets into the elf's car.

“Ready, Commander!” exclaim Ebot with respect.

All KKN participants have boarded the elf car.

“Daaah, Nathan!” shouted Tania's friends who were sitting one row with her as the elf's car started to run.

Nathan waved his hand at them and smiled at Tania.

“Don't forget to tell me, Tan!” nathan and Tania shouted just nodding with a smile showing their thumbs to Nathan.

The elf's car runs out of the campus yard and gets further and further away, making Nathan even more invisible.

“Tan, why don't you guys just be?” asked Aisyah who was sitting next to Tania.

“Lah, he just did not shoot, how do you want to be?” For Tania or maybe even most people, a relationship must be based on a commitment. Such as expressing feelings to someone he loves or often called by the term shooting. The term is still a tradition if someone is said to be the lover of the person.

“Padahan, it's too late if Nathan likes the same lo,” said Aisyah again.

“But he hasn't said anything to me, Shah. Should I shoot? Oh, how!” Tania pulled out her phone and put on the earphones. He also started listening to music.
