"Why did I just realize? Onni can be caught immediately. Why am I not? The abbreviation GSO means Gus Sayyid Omar. It means I'm just like Onni. Injuring someone's feelings unintentionally. I know how you feel, yes. But, your wound must be much bigger than I felt. You saw directly the person you expected to put a marker on my finger. That must have hurt a lot, yeah. Maafin. Again, I'm sorry, yes. Yaya, how do I make amends? I'm not asking you to understand. Because to understand would cut the wound. Especially, to hide. Yaya, I'm sorry, yeah. I don't know how you feel" Kala's inner self shed tears. He took the ring off, then put it in a drawer.
He wakes. Rise up to check the snack stock for booking the bouquet. These nights he thought he wanted to give a bouquet of snacks to Nurmaya. Tomorrow he goes home to school, he'll deliver it himself. In fact, he also wrapped a single mucena of the canal. Although he would not know how Nurmaya responded after receiving her gift, but at least she tried to please Nurmaya in other ways. The bouquet and mukena were finished packing after an hour. It didn't feel like half a night.
Tomorrow.
After cooking the lodeh side dish tofu tempeh, Kala prepared to go to school. He lets Vey have breakfast alone at the table, while he is a bit in a hurry for fear of being late.
"If you wake up a bit bad, mending do not need to cook lodeh. Cook the lodeh, right, a bit long. Tumben-tumbenan as well."
Kala took her bag. Ignoring Vey's words. Then, he sat down at the dinner table after wearing his hood.
"Make" he replied.
Vey shifted the plate already filled with rice towards Kala. Kala immediately spilled it with a vegetable lodeh seirus and took two side dishes. Gobbling up rather quickly.
"No hurry" Vey said as he poured water into the glass. Then, shift it towards Kala again.
"La, since you're getting married soon, I'm hiring a partner, huh? Gapapa, right? I've planned this when the day. I was just talking about it after you had a clear bond with Gus Omar. I want to grow the effort. I, right, have no friends until you get married. You're being dragged to the pesantren."
Seeing that Kala was already better able to accept his match, it made Vey sad and happy. He realized that after that he would be alone at home. Continuing his efforts alone.
"Sir Abi?"
Vey fell silent. Playing spoon.
"I don't know. I'm just saying we don't need commitment. Don't talk about him, La. Whynot. What time will you be home?"
"I want to go to the cottage again. I want to give something to Nurmaya."
"When did you pack that bouquet last night?"
"He.em."
"La, don't you realize?"
"What?"
"Between me, you, and Nurmaya."
"Oh.that's.yes I'm sorry, Onni. Indirectly I hurt him too."
"It's okay. This isn't what we want anyway, is it? I'm looking for four partners. Five could, anyway. Want me to add design services pack flowers paper. You give memen-temen you who know interest. His work needs. I can only be ready when. Those two people can be part time. Because they can't sleep here. If you, right, can overtime nemenin me to malem, La."
"So how much do you need?"
"If five can, then five."
"I try first. I'll ask Mela for help with Ruma."
"okay." Vey accidentally noticed Kala's hand. "Eh, where's your ring?"
"Mmm...this?..I got off. Shame to see them?"
"Will your friends notice your hands?"
"Well, Onni?"
"I don't think so, if they think you're engaged. It doesn't look rich in rings in general."
"Yes that's actually it. Who immediately understood the most Mela with Ruma aja. Moga Syarif doesn't know."
"Emang why? Anything on?"
"Especially not. But, yes how, yes, it does not feel good like that lo, Onni. Yes, I'll go first."
Kala. Take out his bike. Putting his things in the basket.
"Hape has not been used yet?" vey said a little louder.
"La, Kala. What if you don't live here? Though the plan is that I want to marry first continue to live with Kafil. But, I think God would prefer me to do this." Vey wailed suddenly. What is in his shadow now is that he will live alone. I don't know until when.

Once in front of the school, Kala entrust his goods to the security guard post.
"Sir, nitip the stuff, yeah."
"Ready, Cah Ayu."
Kala hurriedly ran while leading his bike to the turn of the parking lot.
"Kok ayu is stabbing, polite, pinter too" the security guard muttered.
By removing the ring, Kala felt more confident. No one will know that it turns out that he has been tied up as a future wife of kiai children. He walked past the tenth grade row. Then, accidentally passed by Miss Maria.
"Mother Maria?" Kala took his step. Somewhat ran close.
Miss Maria made a smile. Shrugging the hand which was then let down by Kala.
"Congratulations, Kala. Are you healthy?"
Kala did not smile widely.
Miss Maria is holding Kala's cheek. "It's okay. You pantes really. The diligent one, yes, so add mutqin."
"Thank God, Mom. Miss Maria knows where, Mom?"
"Married man."
"Ooh.so, yeah, Mom." From there he began to worry that his other friends were aware of the events last night.
"Spirits anyway. When?"
"Before graduation, ma'am. God willing. Not sure the date. But, according to Abah's wishes like that. The wedding need not be postponed for too long. At least until all my school business is done."
"There's still a few months left." Mary smiled again. Meant not to make Kala unsettling her future.
"Mom, I'm asking for help." Face brightens.
"Friends, let no one know, yes, ma'am."
"Yes. I'm sure you'll keep that a secret."
"Thank you, Mom."
"Pick in, gih! The bell soon."
In class.
Mela and Ruma immediately greeted him with hasty gazes. The two approached Kala as soon as Kala sat in his chair.
"Why?"
"Are you really well?"
"Yes thank God. I took off the bandage."
"Bicycle rake?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Ih, how about you. It should be delivered Onni what it is." Ruma scolding.
"No need. Ngrepotin. I'm going to go back to school, I'm going to the boarding school."
"Only?" ask Mela.
"You want nemenin?"
"I'm taking the bike today, anyway. Far lo, La. I'll go for a prick, okay?" Ruma.
