Those Who Want My Body
A gift from Mas Anwar

Mas Anwar's attitude managed to make me laugh.

"Didam or not, that's what you want."

"Muwach." I managed to give you a ci*uman on Anwar's cheek.

Mas Anwar's hand reached into his pants pocket, like taking something.

Sure enough, Anwar took out a small navy box and gave it to me.

"This is what mas?"

"Just open it."

Inside the box was a pair of key-shaped earrings. My eyes glazed over seeing those earrings so beautiful. Mas Anwar put the earring in my ear, by removing my old earrings first.

"Pretty." Said Anwar.

"The timing fits perfectly. I bought these earrings because I just kept feeling like I wanted to buy you a present." Added.

"Thank you very much, ma'am." This time it was my turn to hug Anwar.

"You likey?"

I nodded in Anwar's arms.

The class that is currently in progress, feels very long. Although the time is still showing at 09:00 WIB, my eyes are very heavy. I sat in the back row near the window. My head was repeatedly bowed from the sleepiness of not going away.

In my mind, worshiping a cell phone for a while might eliminate a bit of my drowsiness. Anyway, I'm in the back row. It may not be visible to the teacher.

I opened a camera app on my phone. One, two and a few times I selfie. I accidentally dropped my phone. While trying to reach him, but because it was too far away, I fell to the floor. Just turn all eyes on me.

"Aishwa's. What are you doing?" Shouted Miss Dina, the lecturer who was teaching in my class.

"Sorry ma'am."

"If you're sleepy, get out of my class!" Madam Dina said in an angry tone.

"But mom..."

'Bo*doh. I could have been kicked out of class, but this class is important.' I hit my head repeatedly.

A few minutes later, after I uploaded my photo on whatsapp status, my phone rang. The name Andi is on the screen.

"Assalamualaikum, brother. What's up?"

"Vaalaikumsalam. Boy, though brother accidentally pressed the call button. You have no class, can you pick up the phone?"

"I got out of class, sleepy."

"Jeez."

"Yes, I'm going to the library."

"Wait for Aish, don't hang up."

"Why else, brother?"

Brother Andi told me that mas Anwar asked permission from mother, to get engaged to me. No less surprised I was from Andi's sister. I asked him what the reason was, Andi didn't even know. One thing is for sure, Anwar felt very confident about his decision. Whereas before, Anwar and his family agreed on my mother's terms. Mother who wanted me to graduate college first, just married Mas Anwar. I am still worried about my feelings.

Not long after Andi's brother called, now Anwar's mas called me.

"Asshrink, Aish. It's Anwar's mas."

"Waalaikumsalam. Yeah, what's up?"

"What time is class? Is there free time? Want to watch a movie at the Metro mall?"

"By my mom, I'm done in class at two o'clock."

"Then I'll take you to campus."

"No, we'll see you at the Metro mall."

"It's okay, Aish, I picked her up on campus. See ya." Anwar hung up.

Can I ask why I want to get engaged to me? Was that polite enough at the first meeting after so many years of not meeting?
