Pov Iza
The day was getting late, ninety percent of the princess went back to the dormitory. Almost all the students told me about their holidays. No different from me and my two best friends, Ida and Rani. They told about their holidays to various tourist attractions. I'm just a listener.
The atmosphere of the cottage is back to how it was. The stove and gas have returned to the dining room, mobile phones and laptops have returned to the headquarters, I have also reorganized my heart in the holy prison. Not like on vacation. It all feels at home. Free, loose, without limits.
By the Maghrib, the santri were ready with their respective mukenya ready to congregate.
Everything has returned as usual. Our activities are only njai, schools, pilgrims, istighosah, and various kinds of tasks and duties. That's the only activity in the cottage.
There's not much change for me other than Nera being nice to me. Marissa still wants to wrestle with Nera because of Dhani. He still wants to compete that way.
Marissa waved the war flag to Nera even though it was still the first day. That's Marissa's plan that was talked about earlier when going to Isya pilgrims.
"Da, is there no Nera?" I approached Ida and Rani.
"Went to the bathroom, Ma'am, what's up?" Ida Sahut.
"Nothing matters anyway, I just want to give this to Nera, to you guys too" I gave two ice cappucino to Ida and Rani. "Join it yes, my father did not bring much" I continued.
"Thank you Ma'am" it turns out Nera has finished her shower and is standing next to me.
"This is not how much you gave me."
"Don't be a little bit more."
"Yes, I'm back first."
Upon returning from Nera's room, I went to the dining room because it was dinner time. Nera and her two friends are very cheerful, that's their attitude every day. I feel at ease looking at their daily lives, like I don't have the burden of life.
"Za you're better than Nera, good then." Billa resuscitated my daydream.
"Alhamdulillah, Nera is a good man. I'm sorry I didn't feel better before."
"Some of you didn't hear my words."
"Yes Bil, Nera spent a lot of money just to treat me."
"How much?"
"Almost four hundred thousand, I did write the details. Even he also traded Rizky before going to the market."
"To market? How to get to the market?"
"Yes" I told her everything I experienced at the cottage during the holidays with Nera. Not to forget about his brother who is also kind and wise. "Say if the next vacation I accompany the holiday again will be in agreement again."
"Well, what's the parent's job?"
"They say only farmers, oil palm farmers. There are a few hundred hectares he said. If Dhani's father even owns the factory."
"That's the boss's name. Palm oil is expensive, up to tons of hundreds of hectares of mah."
"Who Bil, how do you know."
"My brother works at PT palm in Kalimantan. Chauffeur workers alone up to a dozen million in salary. What else has his garden."
"Oh yeah? So wonder how much they're allotted for a month."
Suddenly Nera sat beside me making me aghast.
"A million five hundred Ma'am, a month" Nera sat beside me.
"I have two million for a treaty that many think twenty-seven times Ra."
"If the deal yesterday is not monthly money, but unexpected windfall."
"The real Ra" Billa chimed.
"Yeah, but next time don't gossip about the person next to him either" Nera left laughing.
I just realized that Nera was sitting right behind me while eating. I feel guilty.
"Because of you Za" When leaving me still riveted.
...***...
Really tiled once in line. Even every Friday night always ludes without rest. Actually lazy if you have to queue all this time, but this heart wants to taste the meatballs are always crowded.
"How many Mbak" said santri who helped wrap the meatballs.
"Five packs of five thousands" I replied.
The ma'am who helps looks very skilful and quick.
Buying five thousand rupiah gets twelve pentol seeds the size of a big toe. It also does not taste mostly flour. The meat is very tasty. It is always crowded and exhausted.
"How about Ra, do you like it?" Rani asked me, but the look in her eyes did not move from the television.
"Bikin nudai, but if the queue again will be free" I complained.
Rani and Ida bought two packs, and I regretted buying one. It feels so good.
"Nera, this is for you" Iza gave me a pack of meatballs.
"If the windfall is not refused" I said while receiving meatballs from Iza. "What do you pay Ma'am for?"
"For you alone, you must be addicted to buying only one pack. Already know the situation is doyan pentol buy one doang" said Iza as it passed. I just stared at Iza's departure.
Just know if I only buy one pack, but I don't see Iza in the queue.
"Cie, new brother" Rani mocked me.
"It's a free coy!" My heart while glancing at Rani at a glance.
"Just like, long time will also be a big brother."
"No, I don't like Brother Sister here. If sister-in-law wants to."
"You want Iza to be your sister-in-law" Ida said.
"It's not that I don't want to, but it's my brother's choice anyone who suits me will definitely accept."
"I want to" said Ida.
"You are my sister-in-law" I said as I nudged her arm hard.
"Where's sister, who's your sister. Angga's brother is Dhani's brother."
"There is Brother Angga's brother's cousin Dhani though older."
"Can't you?"
"His father was Angga's sister Dhani's mother" I explained briefly.
"Want to" Ida mangosteen.
"Eat him politely as Sister-in-law!!"
"Okey, I'm sorry Brother" Ida giggled after saying the word.
I just rolled my lazy eyeballs. It's always like this if you meet Rani or Ida. But never get bored with them.
Finished eating two packs of meatballs I rushed to the ablution place to wash my face and prepare a sleeping toothbrush. Today I am lazy to do anything but sleep.
Suppose there were no activities on Friday morning maybe after the dawn prayer I would spend my time to sleep.
After laying out the mattress in the courtyard I fell asleep without waiting for Ida and Rani who were watching television in the hall. Drowsiness just attacked me.
"Ra, you're sleeping first anyway, don't you want to relax just watch. Another week there was just another look" Ida spread the mattress beside me.
"I'm not strong, I'm tired of my body."
"Okey, I'll watch. Happy nice dream yes."
"Hmm."
After that I heard nothing more than wandering in dreamland that looked very real.
