The closing ceremony of the cadet activities has been completed. The cadre training activity is over. A series of events has been completed. The committee cleaned up all the equipment and prepared to go home. The trainees have first returned to their respective residences. Asifa picked up the backpack in the girl's room. Inside there is still Rosi is stuffing her things into her small suitcase.
Asifa left the room. He lazily greeted Rosi who had locked her in the warehouse along with Andi. Of course Asifa was still irritated and angry. Although there was no problem from the incident.
Asifa followed Nasih towards the parking lot. Where the motorbike is parked there. After putting on the helmet and sitting in the back, Asifa held on to Nasih's shoulders. Afterwards greet everyone who is still at the location.
The motor is moving fast. Nasih pulled Asifa's hand so that her grip was stronger. Actually Nasih is still heavy to deliver Asifa home at her boarding house. Nasih wanted to linger with Asifa before she returned to her hometown.
The journey is long. The mind between the two wants to be realized. Hope is always a beautiful hope. But maybe they haven't been together in every second and moment. Only occasionally do they meet and let go of the deepest longings.
Asifa went into her dorm room. She laid her body on her bed that she had not slept in a few days. Tomorrow the day after Asifa will leave this hostel. Leave sweet memories at this school. Along with his fellow hostesses, along with his colleagues, along with his organization friends.
Asifa will leave sweet memories with the man who had been very close to her, namely Nasih.
"Capek also participated three days in Nasih at the cadet training event. Even though I was not doing anything and was not active in the committee, it felt like I was tired too. How about Nasih who always guides the event at the cadet training," murmured Asifa as she stared at the ceiling in her boarding room.
"After this, Nasih and I will be dating long distance. How does that LDR feel? It must be really annoying. Especially if the chat has not been answered and the phone is not picked up. Especially when the longing is already mountainous. Ah it must be very draining of emotions and thoughts," Asifa thought.
"It is not uncommon for people who date remotely mostly on cheating and betraying his lover. What about me and Nasih later? Can we both be faithful? Then how much longer will I meet Nasih if it's separated from the island?" asifa mumbling.
"Ah stop! I shouldn't have to worry about all that. If the soul mate surely me and Nasih will be met. If Rosi is really the soul mate of Nasih, inevitably I have to be sincere with everything," said Asifa who is now monologuing herself.
"Wicked isn't it if I start opening my heart to other men who like me? Hahaha," Asifa said again while thinking mischievously to the two.
"After all, who likes me but Nasih?" muttered Asifa while patting her own eel.
Geck.
Geck.
Geck.
Suddenly the door to Asifa's room was knocked on by someone. Her distinctive voice was already well known by Asifa. Who else if not Ita.
"Asifa! Open the door!" ita's scream clearly made Asifa interrupted her break. Lazily Asifa opened the door of her boarding room.
"What the hell is Ta! Just interrupt my break!" asifa's Namel.
"God! Let's get out! I'd like to buy you a meatball. Today is my birthday. You must have forgotten, right?" ita said.
"Huh, my goodness! Sorry Ita, I completely forgot! Come on then!"sahut Asifa is excited.
*****
Asifa's day of return to her hometown has arrived. Asifa already said goodbye to the residents of the boarding house and with the mother and father of the boarding house. Goods Asifa has been packaged first to the address in her village. Asifa left her boarding house after Nasih picked her up. There is sadness in remembering the togetherness of almost 4.5 years here. On the campus where Asifa holds a bachelor degree of education in the field of study of Indonesian literary language.
From the start of orientation introduction around campus or ospek. Field learning practice up to real work lectures until graduation yesterday. He was silent on his bike. There is no joke like yesterday. I don't know what he's thinking. Asifa's return may have left a deep sadness in the heart of Nasih who still considers Asifa the girl closest to her.
"Maybe in three months I will come to your hometown, Sifa!" nasih. Asifa knew it was still a plan. Not necessarily.
"Why go to my village in Palembang? sahut Asifa's. He grinned the horse. Asifa intends to prank Nasih who still shows looks sad because soon Asifa will leave for her hometown.
"What's? What did you say? Of course I want to meet you, Sifa! At the same time get acquainted with my future in-laws," said Nasih. Asifa giggled at the words of Nasih.
"All right! I'll wait for that moment. Hopefully I haven't been proposed to by a guy in the village," Asifa teased back. Nasih was getting sullen at him.
"Awas only if you received a proposal from someone and not from me," Nasih pretended to threaten Asifa.
"If you don't come and propose to me, I don't promise you, I can be loyal to you, bang!" asifa.
"Asifa! Don't like to make me worry dong! If you scare me like that, I could kidnap you today so you can't go back to your hometown" Nasih said. Asifa giggled at the words of Nasih.
"Yes, I promise I'll wait for you to come propose to me. But if fate speaks otherwise, where you turned out to be betraying me, I will not marry before you marry first. I make sure you are married and happy with the woman of your choice. After that I just got married to another man" Asifa said. Nasih pursed his lips.
"I make sure that I am always loyal to you" Nasih said confidently.
"Hopefully yeah, bang! I also wish we were partners to the marriage stage" Asifa said.
"Yes, now go up! I'll take you to the counter" said Nasih.
"Come on!" sahut Asifa while riding on a motorbike belonging to Nasih. Nasih started to turn on his motor. Some of the boarding friends who were still waiting for Asifa's departure could only wave their hands as farewell greetings.
"Why not get on a plane anyway?" nasih said when the motorbike had passed leaving the Asifa boarding house.
"Sorry, I'm still scared! Traveling by land is more fun than by air" Asifa said.
"Just look if you get a male bench friend. I'll make sure you move the seat" said Nasih.
"Hahaha, there's-there's just you bang!" sahut Asifa with giggles.

When we arrived at the bus counter. Bus majoring in Palembang will be departing soon. Asifa for the last time approached Nasih who stood looking to release his departure.
Nasih pulled Asifa's body. I dare to embrace him. Asifa glared in shock. There are vibrations that cannot be revealed. There was an indescribable peace and comfort. There are rebellious souls who want to be shed. But all are still guarded. Asifa ventured to welcome Nasih's embrace. Asifa was sad and there was fear of losing Nasih. But he did not want to cry and shed tears. Moreover, Rosi's words greatly threatened their relationship.
"What's wrong" asked Nasih.
"It's okay" answered Asifa.
Only now did Asifa start to feel sad. He would really leave that man. And maybe we'll see each other again. Nasihin kissed Asifa's forehead gently. Asifa increasingly trembled feeling a warm flow throughout her body. Sad, happy, happy mixed into one.
Asifa left Semarang. Leaving behind her sweet memories with someone closest to her. But now? In fact, Asifa has realized her goal of becoming a bachelor of education. And soon, Asifa will become a teacher.
