Ustad Or Alkash?
Say Thankfulness

In a small room, the lights are still on. It looks Andin who is still drowning with sheets of paper as well as books that accumulate. Occasionally propped up his chin resisting the drowsiness that came approaching. Holds his eyes to stay awake in front of his laptop.

A person squirms from his sleep, then slowly rubs his eyes. He saw Andin who was still in the same place, also in the same position. Just like before he closed his eyes and managed to drift in his dream. He immediately grabbed his phone which was right next to his pillow.

"Geez, 01:10 in the morning!" (special)

Andin looked back after hearing a shriek of sound.

"Why awake?" (asked Andin)

"What are you doing, Ndin? It's morning already. You've been studying for hours without stopping." (he said)

"You know, tomorrow I have an important test, Met."

Meta put away his thin blanket. He sat down and looked at Andin.

"The test is not a test, it seems the same. You keep studying hard."

"That's just your feeling, it's just, Met. Already, you're sleeping again."

Andin looked back at his laptop, then opened his books. Meta was still staring at the back of Andin who was studying solemnly.

Hopefully, not many humans like him. What would this world be, if everyone held the title of intelligence? Ah, I will definitely become a weed that is trampled alone.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you understood everything? Then why are you studying overtime like this?" (ask Meta)

"Yes, after re-examining, it turns out there's something I don't fully understand yet. And the more I think, the more I learn, the more I feel like I don't know anything." (jawan Andin)

He says exactly like my Indonesian teacher, only! Huh, too much.

Meta scratched his head. He was completely inexhaustible with his best friend. Apparently, his interest in learning also skyrocketed when his best friend went to college. He did not see the spirit that Andin showed at this time, there was when Andin was still wearing a gray white uniform.

"You too, Met. You must study hard. Don't let you disappoint everyone (say Andin again)

Meta turned his lips.

"Ah, just calm down Ndin! Even though I'm not as smart as you, not as pretty as you, and not as rich as your family, I'm still learning to mean it. It's just that I don't have as much ambition as you. I still cherish all my time." (said Meta)

Andin looked back again. Staring at Meta with an amused smile. He immediately closed all his books and his laptop. He approached Meta, then pinched Meta's hand.

"I was just kidding when I told you that."

Andin laughed at Meta who was still pouting.

"You're this, it really sucks, Ndin! Already there, just study until both your eyes turn red, then come off!"

Andin chuckles with Meta's speech.

"My point is, you've been given a chance to relearn. And, you mustn't waste the opportunity that comes your way."

Meta threw his pillow at Andin loudly.

"Heh, I just want to run all the activities as well as my needs well! It's school time, I'm school. Time to learn, I learned. And it's time to go to sleep, yes I'm sleeping! Because of me, it's still normal."

Andin held out both hands. Staring at Meta sharply.

"You mean, I'm not normal, like that?"

Meta pressed both his shoulders indifferently. Didn't want to answer Andin's question, which clearly already knows the answer.

"I remember, I had the opportunity to continue my schooling, because of all the help given by the government's policy where I live. Continuing education in public schools after quitting a few years, is not easy without the help of them. I know, it's. And I always remember."

Suddenly Andin laughed at Meta's very serious speech.

In line with Andin's speech, he embraced Meta. Hugging his best friend who knows, understands, also understands himself. In his embrace, he was grateful to be reunited with his best friend. They were reunited by accident. Meta continued his education back, at the best public high school in Surabaya city. And where Meta attended school, adjacent to the campus where Andin continued his education.

"I'm grateful we met again. Yeah, even if you're a real bitch,"

"And this time, you're the one who came to my hometown."

Meta releases Andin's embrace.

"You're nothing, Ndin!"

Meta put his face. Andin scrunched his forehead. He saw Meta that looked more and more serious.

"You don't like to cuddle with me!"

Andin breathed his breath in relief. Then he laughed out loud and was followed by Meta. They laughed loudly for a while. I don't know what made them laugh so hard and laugh that long. They seem to forget that the clock shows early morning. The hours used to fall asleep. They also seem to forget that the other room residents in the room also need enough rest without any interference.

And sure enough, suddenly there was the sound of the room door being pounded loudly. Meta and Andin immediately looked at each other.

"Hussst..."

Andin put his index finger right on his lips. Andin restrained his laughter by covering his face with a pillow. Same with Meta.

Alarm ringing sounds at 05.00 WIB. Andin and Meta wake up simultaneously after hearing an alarm clock that goes off quite loudly. They came out of the room after picking up a veil to cover their hair. They headed to the bathroom which was already a facility for anyone who lived in the boarding house. There are three medium-sized bathrooms lined with each other.

Princess Kos has several other rooms. Most of the residents are students. The rest are workers. Only Meta is a high school student who lives in the boarding house.

And right across from the princess boarding house, where the son's boarding. The sons and daughters are facing each other. Only separated by public roads that are not too wide.

After Andin and Meta took ablution water, they immediately prayed. After finishing the prayer, Andin took the towel he just bought yesterday after his college hours ended.

Meta glanced at Andin. Then he took off his face.

"Enak yes, so the child who comes from the family is. Whatever needs are also desires fulfilled at that time." (say Meta)

Andin remained silent. He has not responded to Meta's remarks. Meta also said back.

"Ah yes, God. Meanwhile, look at my towel. His color had even faded and started popping black spots."

Andin raised his voice. He knows what he has to say.

"Hahaha, it's because you don't take care of the stuff you have, Met,"

"You made all your stuff appear black spots. It's because of your throat that you haven't lost in the slightest since then,"

"And ah yes, about me who comes from the family is. Hemm, it's been my destiny, it seems. And I think, accept your destiny with grace."

Andin spoke in a full tone. Meta was really upset that the weapon used by him to taunt his best friend, actually turned to attack him.

"You're so arrogant, heh!" (meta Specics)

"There is nowhere better than being arrogant in front of you." (said Andin)

Andin laughed sumringah. He quickly walked to the bathroom. Andin even, do not want to listen to the answer sentence said Meta next.

Meta shows his angry face in front of Andin. And after Andin passed from before him, he commented on his smile.

"You're right, you're just arrogant in front of me." (he said)

I'm sure soon your happiness will come. And you have to give up your status of having a husband with two wives, Ndin. Must.

SERIATE...
