LOVE THE COLLEGE TIGER
go home before the application
Ega was the sixth of eight children. Mama and his father were of minang blood, but since young had built a business in the capital. His father owned a cloth factory, while his mother managed several minimarkets and pharmacies.
Of the eight siblings, only the first brother and third sister were girls. Besides them, they are all men. The first brother up to the fourth was already married, whereas he, the fifth brother and his two younger siblings were not.
If after graduation Ega marries Elzata, it means he must marry first step over his fifth brother. But because her fifth brother did not mind, and the mother also wanted her to get married first before leaving for Japan, then the whole family did not mind. His fifth brother even became the one who most passionately helped Ega's preparations.
Two days after Elzata announced his parents' blessing, Ega decided to go home. Given the graduation event is only 2 weeks away and there are many things that need to be prepared for the proposal event as well as the engagement. The plan, one month after the application event will be held a wedding reception, and a month after they get married will immediately leave for Japan.
The Ega family seemed busy preparing everything needed to visit the Elzata family. Given the application event will be made one with the engagement event, then starting from clothes, rings and maharan items must be prepared in advance.
And in the house Ega is already full of items in the form of parcels with certain characters that are very beautiful.
Looking at that near-perfect preparation, Ega actually smiled in satisfaction. Heart's blossoming. In his heart, it seemed impatient to have a dream girl, who was halal for him forever.

It's been two days since Elzata's dinner with his parents. After getting their blessing, Elzata said he had to go home to campus because he had to register his graduation and there were many things to be done in KAPN.
"Before they all know, I will devote myself to KAPN one last time. Because after everything was revealed, where could they let me set foot in the headquarters", Elzata muttered inwardly
Indeed, there is a heavy burden that seems to just disappear since Elzata got the blessing of his parents. But somehow, that day something made Elzata uneasy.
"Ga, are you coming home?", Elzata decides to send a message to Ega.
"Yes, honey. I'm looking forward to shopping mama in preparation for our application"
"OKAY. But I was even nervous Ga. I don't know what it is?"
"Udah, you don't think macem-macem. Surely you think they'll talk to us like how, right, after they know we're getting married? Or are you groggy to apply?", Ega answered, a little teasing.
It may be true, Ega said. I'm too nervous to be lamar. Too thought of KAPN and the people who were there too.
KAPN is his second home. There are many memories and many friends that Elzata loved like his own brother. They have fought together for so long. Eating together, working late together, being chased by the police together, and the many beautiful moments they spent together. Of course it's not easy to have to be the person they hate, when they know what Ega and Elzata have been doing behind their back.
But was Elzata really agitated because of that?
Kriyingggg
HP Elzata. My mom's name appeared on the screen.
"Yes, ma"
"Can you go home, baby tonight? Or will you pick up your cousin?"
"What's the matter ma? Why does Elzata have to go home? Just two days ago did Elzata come home? must it be tonight ma?"
"Yes, son, please. Mama will be at home"
"Okay dech ma, Zata get ready. Maybe two hours more Zata nyampek house ya ma. No papa, right?"
"Dear, be careful?"
"Yes ma"
Eventually Elzata decided to go home alone without being picked up. At about 11pm he left the rented house. That means, he'll be at home at 1 in the morning.
This is an unusual thing. Is it possible that both parents will talk about the subject of a two-week application? But why tonight? And Elzata caught his mother's voice shaking.
Kriyiggg. Ega
"Yes, Ga"
"Not sleeping yet, dear?"
"I'm on nich street. Mama asked me to come home tonight. So I broke up with dech"
"Tok night-night gini sich baby?"
"Mama's word has to be tonight, Ga. It can't be delayed until tomorrow. Even my mother begged. I think it's important"
"What's wrong, honey?"
"I don't know about Nich either. Mama didn't say. I want to talk at home, he said. My mom asked me to go home"
"Who are you?"
"alone"
"Midnight gini himself?"
"Since I don't know what mom papa wants to say sich. I might not have taken the risk either. If they want to talk about party prep, we can say that I'm not a friend"
"Oh, I'm also fit to go home sich huh. So I can't get you"
"Udah-ah no papa. I don't go home alone"
"Yes, be careful, baby. Let me know if I'm at home"
"OKAY. But ain't...."
"Whyaa?"
"I feel like I'm adding gini sich.why Ga?"
"Udah, the important positive thingking only. Don't think macem-macem. Focus on the road, don't sleep. Let me know when I get home"
"Yeah"
Elzata disconnected his phone, then focused on driving his car. In the set of music aloud to eliminate the anxiety that had previously occupied Elzata. Seen by the passing road, deserted. Maybe because midnight is not rame. Although not completely empty, but the road is not as crowded as day or afternoon.
After two hours of travel, Elzata finally reached home as well. As expected, it took Elzata two hours to get to his house. When he entered the courtyard, he saw that his house was already crowded. It was seen that some relatives, both distant relatives and close relatives were gathering at Elzata's house.
Elzata is getting restless. His mind was wild everywhere, busy guessing what they were doing in his house, midnight like this.
"What's this about? Why is the midnight house so crowded? The mama? Papa's? Where'd they?
Elzata's heart was really pounding. While continuing to pray, he finally got out of his car and met his family who welcomed Elzata's arrival while hugging Elzata one by one.
"What is this?", Elzata kept asking in his heart.
SERIATE
