Why Should I Pariban?!
Namboru Request

"The day after the semester break, where are the months, where are you going on vacation? I think I went to my father's village, in Berastagi," said Juli, sitting between Dean and Rini. Astri today has not entered again, choosing to relax first.

Dean could only shut up. His head was dizzy thinking about the problems now faced, new problems that three days ago came to the surface. Out of nowhere Namboru Uli knew that he was going on semester break, the woman contacted her father and asked permission for Dean to come to Jakarta to see Sea, who happened to be sick at this time. It had been two days of fever and needing to rest while in his house, the man was only living alone. Housekeepers cleaning the house come three times a week.

"I don't want to, sir. My time in Jakarta was just to take care of him. Not even married to cook one house, don't want me!" reject Dean.

Mr. Hotman actually did not agree with Namboru Uli's request, it was not fitting and polite but, many times Namboru Uli asked for help so that he would take care of Sea as long as the man was sick.

"If I'm healthy, Ito (Daughter's call for his brother) I've flown to Jakarta to take care of Sea, but I'm sick, this must be chemo again I next week. They'll get married anyway and I believe in Sea. He won't say anything about Dean before they do" said Namboru Uli, pleading with Mr Hotman, who the man could no longer refuse.

Finally that night Dean decided to leave the day after tomorrow to Jakarta. Though he had devised a plan to go with Ferdi to visit July later in Berastagi or they would go to meet Astri whose house in Parapat, now the hope is only hope.

"You why the hell, just keep quiet. Where are you going on vacation? If it's fun I want to come with dong," said Rini who is still confused because the current economy of his family is difficult so there is no possibility of a holiday term most also he stayed at home to help keep his mother's shop. Fortunately he entered a public university so cheaper, and to dictate he could copy from his friends.

"I'm like I'm home, not going anywhere" he replied without hesitation.

"Have you heard yet that Ferdi is equally willing to go to Samosir, we go yuk?" said Rini. "All of us can meet Astri, his house is also there," he continued.

Dean could only shut up, he didn't hear about it. Ferdi had a long way to go to say their plan and the severity of Dean saying he could follow the plan but the reality was different. Now he is confused how to explain it to Ferdi, lest the man assume that he deliberately canceled an appointment with Ferdi and prefer to vacation to Jakarta to meet Sea.

"Why be quiet? From now on, just keep quiet, I'm wrong, right? By the way, honey," said Ferdi as they drove by his motorbike towards Dean's house, as usual the man's hand would hold Dean's hand and place it on Ferdi's thigh.

"If my father doesn't give me permission to go, you still go as well as protect and others?" ask Dean. He heard that some girls who were also protected friends would come with them to Parapat.

"So, didn't you promise to come with us? Come on, it must be exciting if we go on vacation together. Later in the year it is likely that my parents will take me back to Java, later we will not have time for a vacation together," he said begging.

"I don't know yet, Fer. I don't think I was given permission from my father. It's okay, you go on vacation with them."

"But I want a vacation with you," sambar Ferdi pouted. He had prepared a special gift that he was going to give Dean.

So as long as Ferdi has fun with his friends, Dean can go to Jakarta to take care of Sea, then after the man is healthy again he will go home and ask permission to his father to follow Ferdi to Parapat.

That afternoon Dean could only drive Ferdi to the bus counter. There was jealousy in his heart when he saw in the group there were three girls, one of whom liked Ferdi. That news he got from Rini who happened to be close to the hedge again.

But he could not protest and expressed his displeasure because Ferdi had obviously invited him to go with them but, he refused. After the party left by bus, Dean rushed home with tears in his eyes.

"You're Dean, huh?" Greet someone from behind his body

Dean was surprised, turned around and found a man smiling at him who was now observing his face and comparing it to the picture on his phone screen.

"Yes right, who are you?" Dean asked a step back. He had been warned by Mak Tiur to be more careful in Jakarta. This was the first time the girl had stepped away from home, first setting foot in Jakarta. The city is full of all kinds of human behavior that live in it.

"I'm Desta, Sea's friend. He asked me to pick you up because he fell down, couldn't move even to the bathroom I had to clean it up" said the man with a smile still framing his lips.

Of course Dean didn't believe it right away. He immediately dialed Sea's number, long ago the man just picked up his phone.

Dean then mentioned the characteristics of Desta, whether the man was a Sea messenger to pick him up.

"He's right that's my friend. You go with him, and anyone wants to kidnap you. You see around you, Jakarta is different from Medan, here are many beautiful girls, so you are calm you will not be kidnapped by anyone," replied Sea loudly, then disconnect the phone unilaterally.

"Basic shit, he doesn't know if Medan girls are prettier and certainly more sincere," he said in his heart.

"Can we leave now? I'm afraid that by the time we are left behind, when we get home, the man is a corpse" said Desta, laughing. Just once meeting Dean knew that Desta was a good man, his speech was polite and his speech was so pleasant just like Ferdi's way of speaking.

"It turns out you are beautiful too yes, Sea beaches want to be betrothed with you," said Desta glanced at him, when they were already in the car, as a result Dean's face successfully blushed.
