The smell of wet soil due to the rain, still viscous swirled in the cavity of my nose. Since I got home, it rained like a greeter and is still euphoric until now. We went back to Java. Leaving Borneo with a million memories. Good, bad, sad and happy. Indra was also at his house. Both of Indra's parents picked us up at the airport. A moment that we have long ago. The presence of Indra is like giving new air in every hope that we have long nurtured. For almost a year, we lost him. He thought he was gone, and now he's still breathing well and coming back in our midst.
On the way Indra had already talked about the engagement plan with me. "Just take care of it, Nis. I'll take care of everything. You and your family are staying waiting for us to trade back home." As Indra said.
I was still wrapped in a blanket over my bed. The place I missed almost a year. A long-lost sense of comfort, now suddenly I found in this room.
My family has gathered. Unanimous. It was also a form of happiness for me.
Tonight, Indra will come to the house to propose to me. Not wanting to waste any more time, she did want to marry me right away. I am too. The departure of Indra yesterday, really destroyed part of my life. And I don't want that to happen again.
The ring is on our ring finger. All the families are witnesses of our relationship. Everyone is happy with tonight's moment. I assure you, Indra will no longer be gone from my life. At least in the near future. We're getting married soon.

I decided to continue the lecture I left. I automatically went back to my old boarding house. Indra has also been allowed to serve again by his leadership. The incident was hard, and after Indra returned he was still accepted back to duty, because he was one of the best members.
This afternoon Indra came home, we were going back to the boarding house together. Some of our stuff is still a lot left at the cost. I who had not been able to pack, now actually returned to that place.
Some of the residents of the boarding house were surprised we came back here again after the full moon passed. They greet and talk to each other asking for news.
Our room was the same as when we left it. Our stuff is still there.
After I finish college, Indra will also file the mutation back to our hometown
Indra also proposed mutations. The permission was already he cantongi, but there are still some procedures for the transfer.
After graduating from college, Indra and I had discussed it together. If we're going back home. Gathering with family. Especially now that my status is Indra's fiancee. I also started to get closer to the Indra family. By returning to our hometown, then the intensity I can be close to Indra's parents more often.
All my friends are gone too. They already have their own lives. They work in far away places. This is the culmination of true friendship. Where when all friends have chosen their own way of life, our relationship was tenuous because of the limited distance.

After I was unemployed, I spent more time at home. With Ibrahim, the son of Brother Adam and Brother Shinta. Her age is not even a year, making her even more adorable. All the developments of Aim are always monitored by Shinta. Brother Shinta devotes herself to being a full-time housewife. Forget his mind and career. And I see that Shinta's really enjoying her life right now.
"Indra hasn't been able to turn back?" ask Shinta while tidying up Aim's clothes that have just been lifted from the clothesline.
"Yet, brother. Next week he says he can be moved here."
"Where's the wedding plan, Nis? So in the building?"
"God willing, Brother. I was boking also the building, because the word Indra is afraid we are not going to the day after H."
The call from Mamah outside Kak Shinta's room made me say without getting out of bed. It feels lazy to leave the mattress and Aim Yang is funny.
"It's called mamah!" cetus, sister Shinta, told me to meet Mamah outside. I smiled and then got out of bed lazily. Brother Shinta smiled at me who was sometimes spoiled like that.
I walked out of the room, looking for where Mamah is. Usually the beautiful woman who has not long been Papah's wife is in the kitchen. And it's true. Mom was there with all kinds of stuff I didn't know what. Mom smiled when she saw me. "Now, Mama bought a lot of small meals. There are dates, honey, olive oil and herbal drinks. You're anterin to Indra's house, yeah."
"Where to buy anyway? Much really?"
"Mamah sales team. It's authentic. so it's safe."
"Dianter is the driver."
"Yes, mah" I said a little screamed because I had gone into the room to get changed.

I reached the courtyard of Indra's house.
All the guards here have memorized me, and also the car I usually wear comes here. No need for such a procedure, because I was immediately allowed to enter. Mamah Indra who was on the terrace, smiled when she saw my arrival.
"Come, Nisa. Same who?" mamah asked as she approached me who had just gotten out of the car. Mamah Indra was very kind and friendly.
"Dianter Mr. Bowo, Mah. This is Nisa told this nganterin. there are dates, honey, herbal drinks. He said it was good for health," I said, taking all the stuff out of the car with Mr. Bowo's help.
"Jeez, bother to bother."
"No hassle. Lagian Nisa is also the boss at home. Good thing there's Aim."
"Yes, if bosen plays here. We will walk together" said Mamah Indra.
After we got engaged, I called Mamah Indra as Mamah too. Let's be more familiar. Mama Indra invited me inside. We talked together in the family room.
"When will Indra come home, Mah?" my many.
"Kangen yes," ledek Mamah Indra.
"Hehe... Yes dong."
"A little while more. She now lives with her friends in Dormitory well, Nis?"
"His word is that mah, a lot of conversation becomes. If it's lonely at Kos."
"Oh yes, Nis. Yusuf's got a girlfriend yet, huh?" tanya maamah surprised me.
"I don't have. I don't want to date. He wants to marry directly. Just the candidate hasn't been signed yet, Mah. Brother Yusuf is rather picky."
"Oh that.. Mom has acquaintances. It may be fitting for Joseph to be called Rahma."
Mom gave me her picture. I also looked at the woman in the photo. "Pretty."
"How are you? want to work or at home?"
"Worker.just haven't got a suitable package. Nisa has sent many job application letters. But there's no call yet" I said still looking at a picture of Rahma's sister.
"Working in a meeting office how? property company. later try mamah askin if you are interested."
"Well, Nisa try it."
