A week has passed since I and Ariz lost contact. .I woke up from my dream. I dreamed of a message from Ariz. Like this


“Key..”.


I checked my phone and there was no notification. Sad. It feels like something is missing. The habit of perceiving every moment is now gone. Great yes, one year defeated by one day.


The afternoon after Friday I was still at my brother's house, suddenly there was a notification of incoming messages. I was surprised too. Yeah, correct. That's a message from Ariz. I think I've flown into the clouds. Know it? The message that Ariz sent was exactly what I had in my dream last night. Arizio also feels lost. Yes we both feel that something is missing if we do not communicate. Is this a sign that he has the same feelings as me?

Yogyakarta, November 1, 2017


Today I promised to watch Rainy Film in June with Awan, a really cute High School Temen with girls. But the thing is if I'm not the same. I don't know I don't want a GR.


“Key, today so right?” Ask Awan to me via whatsapp.


“So dong. What time do you come home?”


“Again afternoon anyway. Around 16.00”


“OK if so I buy a ticket first. Fear of running out later.”


“Oke.” Answer Clouds cuek.


I then asked Ica, my classmate to accompany me to buy a ticket to watch for the mall. Yes, you can say a date with Awan. Hehe. Singles are free, right? Wkwk. I am the same as the clouds. After all, I think Clouds are too stiff for girls. Yes, even if I'm a bit different. I really did not expect that until the Clouds I could not make sure I watched the movie both gini. He is famous for being a very cute girl.


~o~


Finished buying my ticket straight back to campus because there will soon be a class. Suddenly there's a whatsapp message from Ariz. He said that he came to my school.


“I'm again on your campus nih.”


“Weh what?”


“Almost aja anyway.”


“Where is e? I mean, my college next door, where?”


“Nih in your faculty.” Ariz said while sending a photo.


“Judah I'm there.”


I went to see Ariz with Ica. Because I'm ashamed to be alone.


“Hey, Riz.” My broom.


“Eh, Keyra. How different is it?” Ariz said while surprised to see me.


“What's different?” I said surprised.


“Engga deng.”


“Basic hiih. Uh who are you, Riz?”


“Self.”


“Then?” I asked while pointing at a girl near Ariz who wears traditional Javanese clothes.


“Oh this, Ana. My Junior High School who studied here also.”


“Ana.” The girl said while extending her hand to me.


“Keyra.” I said to the girl.


“Oh yes, Riz. It's called Ica.”


“ICA.” Ica said as she extended her hand to Ariz and Ana.


After introductions and pleasantries. We were silent for a moment. On my faculty there happens to be a Cultural Festival every early November. Usually the participants are children who take a study program in Java.


“Eh you really did what came here e, Riz?” Askaqua.


“Emang can't po?”


“Ihhhh really.”


“You guys stopped by anyway.”


“Where are you out of?”


“From the campus next door to attend a seminar there.”


“Oalah. Uh, I entered first yes because it's almost 13.00 nih.”


“OK. The spirit of college is yes.”


“OK ready.”


~o~


Why the hell Ariz came late, if from yesterday-yesterday must be the date with me the Ariz not the Clouds. It felt like canceling my date with Awan and giving him a ticket to Ariz. But the Cloud and I told you that I want to play with the Clouds. Yes, I'll think I'm planing.


“Wooy, Key!” Ica said it surprised me.


“Jeez, Ica. What will I hang then?”


“Ya you anyway. Daydreaming. Hayooo, ngamuning Ariz huh? Cie who finished diapelin.” The word Ica teases me.


“Ihhh what the hell.”


“Same strength Clouds but Ariz. Basic win a lot of you, Key.”


“Yaampun just temen all.”


“Alah. Here give me one here, if you are mostly.”


“Apaan anyway, Ca.”


“Handering yaampun.”


“Haha yes I know. Uh, Ca. How do I want to give you a ticket to Ariz and cancel a date with Awan huh?”


“Ya gapapa anyway. But the clouds. Don't plan to be a girl. Anyway, I'm sure, there's still plenty of chances to date Ariz. The proof yesterday you guys finished marahan continue now diapelin. Uwu cie cie.” Ica said while nudging me.


“Ya really is it?”


“Iya yes. Focus on college first. And enter the lecturer.”


“Iya, Key.”


After class I went straight back to the boarding house with Ica. I made a pact with the Clouds after Magrib. He wants to pick me up and after watching the plan we'll have dinner together. Yesampun like a courtship person aja-.- Suddenly there is an incoming message from Ariz.


“Luckily you found me.”


“Why why?”


“Engga. Finally I know the event to be able to meet you after so long.”


“Luck I lecture.”


“Yes I deliberately went there when you were in college.”


“Ihhh basic yes.”


~o~


“Wan, if OTW says yes.” I said to the Clouds.


“OTW” Answer her cuek.


Thirty minutes passed. The clouds came to my room. His appearance is arguably pretty cool in my opinion. He's handsome, white, tall. The cloud was me when we were in the English debate at High School. We are getting stuck because of class XII tutoring time in the same bimbel. Cloud and Ariz know each other. Clouds know my closeness is as Ariz as what. But Ariz doesn't know about my closeness to Awan. I wonder what the hell I am. I'm the same Cloud ONLY TEMEN.


“Where do you eat, Key?” Ask Awan after watching the movie.


“Nfollow you aja.” My answer is to make a choice.


“Yaudah, on the way home yes.”


“Oke.” Answer's short.


On the way home, Awan and I were still discussing the movie that had been watched earlier.


“Ah ga exciting the movie hanging the ending.” I said


“Yes precisely that, we as the audience finished the story ourselves. How the hell are you a literary child so don't know.”


“Hih I know. But I don't like the ending¬.”


“If you don't like it, tomorrow make your own movie.”


“OK, you are the cast yes.”


“I want to be the cast as long as you are my girlfriend. The cast who pretended to be your girlfriend means.” Cloud said in a joking tone.


“Ihhh don't want to. Cook courtship pretend.”


“Ya pretend until you forget that we are pretending.”


“What the heck is not funny, Wan.”


“Hemm yes. Dah sampa. Cepetan down.”


“Hih Yes bauble.”


After dinner Awan then drove me home to the boarding house and without further ado he also paid his way home. Suddenly there was a message from Lutfi, a kindergarten whose birthday was exactly the same as mine. He's the best friend of Awan and his ex Ajeng, my classmate at High School.


“Again, Key. Play with yuuk sometime, Key. Bosen nih.” Lutfi.


“This is me watching together Awan.” I said.


“Hih I didn't say anything. Wah si Awan steal start nih.”


“Apaan the hell you.”


“Ayo cus agenda play together.” Bring Lutfi.


“Oke foursome yes.”


“Foursome cigarettes? Who is it?”


“Well threesome and I'm a girl myself. Yes the same Ajeng lah.”


“Ah don't want to be with him.”


“Yaudah not so if you do not want to be the same Ajeng.”


“Yaelah. Okay, same with Ajeng. But I'm boning it with you and let the Clouds be the same as Ajeng.”


“If the Clouds want to be the same as me? wkwk”


“Bodo highly.”


“Hemm yes de hiya. Yaudah I made a group for us to play with.”


I then created a group that contained Clouds, Ajeng, Lutfi, and me. I love this freedom in the sense of singles being free to play with anyone. But I don't know why I even think Ariz. After a discussion that was quite a waste of time we finally decided to go to the beach tomorrow Friday the second week of early January.


The next day I got a message from Ariz. He took me on a road together.


“Key, no free time?”


“Emang why, Riz?”


“Main yuuk's. Oiya btw you have a Timezone card not?”


“Timezone Card? Want to take a picture with Po? Wkwk.”


“Hehe tau aja.”


“I don't have any, my friend has. But if you want to invite me snapshot photo together tomorrow I make the card.”


“OK ready. So what day do you want?”


“Wednesday how?”


“OK, fix Wednesday.”
