Episode 30's
Melody's mother was selling food on the side of the road near their house, next to a street near a candy store. The two of them walked towards the place where Melody's mother was selling while talking about their upcoming lecture, the two of them passed through various shops and restaurants and finally came to where the main road of their area of residence was.
“Still straight right?”
“Iya. from here it looks.”
They stopped for a while because William saw the tired-looking Melody, he offered Melody to sit for a while and while he told her he wanted to buy a drink. Their resting place was close to a convenience store, William decided to go inside and buy two drinks. After buying her out of the store and walking towards the resting Melody, she offered her drink to her friend. Melody accepted and the two men drank the drink, they finished a full bottle and threw the bottle in the trash. William told Melody.
“Do you still walk? Or you need time to rest.”
“It's okay.. I also want to help my mother, I'm used to it because every day always walk here.”
“Alright then.”
They stood up and continued on their way, William deliberately slowed his pace so that Melody would not force herself. From a distance they could already see Melody's mother's place, because it was close to arriving Melody so excited and speed up his steps. William followed behind while looking towards Melody.
‘When Seeing the mother of everyone will definitely be excited and fatigue will disappear instantly, strength out of nowhere.’
Melody immediately ran over and approached her mother, her unconscious mother being hugged by her from behind. William also came and met the mother of his friend and he wanted to greet her, his mother Melody was surprised because someone hugged her from behind without her noticing. He looked towards the person and immediately smiled as he saw Melody was there, they were smiling at each other.
“Why are you here? Are you not registration anymore?”
“I'm done. oh yes mother, it turns out William also signed up to the same campus.”
“Really? Then you met William there?”
“That William is behind.”
“Happy day aunt.”
“Oh nak William, sorry auntie didn't realize there was a son William here. so Melody's word was right.”
They talk to each other, Melody's mother quizzing about their registration. Since it was already quite noon, Melody's mother offered the two of them lunch. They both received it and he immediately took food for the two people, he took enough food for them. Not forgetting he also gave them a bottle of drink for them to drink, they both accepted it because it was not good to refuse it. They sat on the chairs and sat there eating their food. The three of them were still talking together while the two people were enjoying their food, after William finished taking out his wallet and wanted to take his money.
“Nak William does not need.. do not pay ya.”
“Why aunt? I'll eat.. I should be a buyer and have to pay?”
“You didn't say buy it, auntie gave it to you both.”
“But aunt.”
“Not what.”
“Heheh.. don't need William. You have helped my mother and me a lot too. So now my mother is treating you.”.
“Good.”
“But I'm curious about you William.Why haven't you ever called my mother by her name?”
“... Your mother's name is also Melody.. I'm getting confused. If I call your name then your mother might come look.. So that's it.”
“Sorry yes because we have the same name.”
They laugh at each other because only one name is the same, they both tell William when Melody was a child and people call him but his mother comes. Events like many of them since childhood even until now, Melody's mother gave the same name to her son. But because they have moved and they live with each other, the incident has rarely happened. Melody still remembers the time of the festival and before the fireworks began, the organizers thanked a man named William.
“I until now do not know, is it not you?”
“If I had that kind of money then I wouldn't work anymore.. I just sat quietly at home.”
“Many people have the same name, even those around us. So always do well, so that people can know which person you are.”
“Good mother.”
“Thank you aunt.”
“Oh yes, how about your campus? Have you guys been around?”
“But bu.. I didn't get around, but I think William is already.”
“Can William really be?”
“Although not everything, but I have gone to the campus cafeteria. Nice and very luxurious place but the price is still cheap.”
“So yes, good then.”
‘It turns out his mother Melody has a lot of reputation in this region as well, indeed a good person no doubt.’
In front of William's house, his mother Melody wanted to ask William for a device, but William refused and walked again to bring it to their house. The two of them followed William and arriving at Melody's house, William put it on their doorstep and he rested for a while there. Melody's mother thanked him and opened the door of his house, he put his tools into the house while Melody accompanied William outside.
“Do you need water? I'll get you, wait a minute.”
“..No. need.. ah he went inside.”
William sits in a chair in front of the house and waits for Melody to come out of his house, he picks up his cell phone and sees if there is any message he receives. Many of the messages that went into his phone included messages from old friends, he ignored messages from friends and looked at other messages. William got a message from brother Dea, he immediately opened it when he saw the name of brother Dea.
“You have come home yes. I was going to take you around again with your friend.”
“Sorry brother I may be too tired and later tonight too I may be a bit busy so I go home first with Melody.”
After sending a message to Brother Dea, William closed his message and continued to enjoy the afternoon breeze while sitting on a chair. Melody came out of the house carrying a glass of water for her, she gave it to William. William received a glass of water and thanked him, after which he drank a glass of water and gave an empty glass to Melody.
“I'll be home.”
“You don't want to be here for a minute? Maybe my mom still wants to talk to you.”
“No need, your mother must be exhausted as well.. Let your mother rest, I better go home. I also still have some things I haven't finished, including watering my flowers.”
“Oh I forgot that yesterday we planted flowers in your house, I forgot and before you go home wait a while here ya.”
Melody ran inside her house and William waited for her to come back out, not so long Melody came out carrying William's umbrella and gave it to William.
“Thank you for the umbrella yesterday, about the clothes I haven't folded and ironed.. So I'll return it tomorrow.”
“It's okay, fine then I go home first.”
William left the house and walked home, walking with his umbrella. When he got to the front of the house, he looked towards the flowers. Still firmly standing, he intended to water the flowers. Before watering the flowers he planted, he went into his house and put his umbrella on the umbrella rack. William came out of the house and walked closer to the sprinkler in front of his house, he picked it up and saw it was empty without any water inside. He turned on his water machine and filled the device, after full he turned off the engine and immediately brought the sprinkler to use to water the flowers.
“Still good, I think the science from mom is still there. Oh yes I have to ask Fauna about this flower more deeply.”
After watering the flowers, William took his cellphone in his pants pocket. He opened it and looked for Fauna's name, after meeting her he immediately sent her a message.
“Fauna.. I want to ask with the flowers yesterday, oh yes I forgot to send a photo of what I planted flowers like. wait a minute.”.
William opened his cell phone camera and immediately photographed it, he again sent a message to Fauna and sent her a picture.
“How? Good isn't.. Thanks for your help too.”
Ten seconds after she sent her message, Fauna replied to her message.
“Oh good yes.. it turns out William can take care of flowers, I thought you can just be quiet.. Where did you buy the flowers?”
“... Huh... I bought it near my house, there is a pretty decent florist selling a lot of flowers.”
“Can I go there and see the flower shop?”
“I'll send you the location of the flower shop later.”
“Thank you.”
William turned off his cell phone and walked into his house, he immediately closed the door and sat on his couch. Wanted to sleep tired, William reopened his phone and activated his alarm and fell asleep on his couch.
At nightfall and clocking at seven o'clock, William wakes up from his sleep due to his cell phone alarm. Waking up and turning off the alarm, William got up from his couch and walked to his home light switch and turned on all the lights he needed. After that he walked towards the exit to look around his house, looking left and right. Because he felt safe enough, he went back into his house to prepare for a bath. William walked towards his room and picked up his clothes and walked again towards the bathroom, he took a shower and after that he sat down on the dining room chair. He thought for a moment while collecting his life that had not been fully accumulated, after a long wait he decided to make his dinner.
“Because I'm confused, mending I make instant food only for tonight.”
He walked up to his closet and picked up instant food, William picked up the pot and filled it with water and put it on the stove. He waited for the water to boil, before the water boiled he had already opened the instant food wrapper and picked up a plate. While waiting for the water to boil, he intended to take his phone. William picked up his phone and saw a message coming in, a message from Dea's brother and then he opened it and read it.
“Happy William, you passed the exam and you made it into this campus.. It was supposed to be the announcement tomorrow anyway, but I already knew so I told you.. Your queue number was the very back but I put it in front when I gave it to the lecturers.. So buy me. yes.”
“Thank you sis.. you are indeed. alright, canteen food yes.”
“Eh. I guess food from your place of work.”
“Mahal.”
William put down his phone and checked the water he was heating, it was boiling and he immediately put in his instant food and stirred it. After so he put the spice on the plate and mixed it with the food earlier, he brought the food and put it on the table. Before eating it, he took a glass of water. He put the water next to his plate, he prayed first and then he ate it. After eating all of her meals, she resumed her unfinished work this morning. Unknowingly it was eleven o'clock at night and his work was done, he picked up his phone and walked towards his room. He fell on his bed and slept until the morning woke him up.
