Sarah was sitting at her study table staring at the black inked white paper in her hand.
It is a contract bill that has been in arrears 2 months and an electricity bill that gives a warning if the day after tomorrow has not been paid then the medium drain light will be extinguished.
Not wanting to be dissolved in the daydream Sarah also opened her cellphone bututnya looking for job vacancies part time.
Actually Sarah already has a side job on Sundays as a tutoring teacher near the school.
Teaching high school junior kids who will soon be taking exams.
Tuition money is only enough to pay for school needs.
Actually Sarah's father has given monthly money for the needs of Sarah's school but the money he saved in case there is an urgent need such as electricity bills and rent today.
Sarah was used to being independent from childhood.
He did not want to burden his father with spoiled whining like a child today.
Sarah's father rarely came home.
Every time he came home he was often tired or drunk.
Sarah had warned her father not to drink often.
Because his father's kidneys are no longer healthy because he had kidney failure when he was in the 10th grade makes his father should not be too tired or drink alcoholic beverages.
But his father always replied that he was fine even though from the look of the face that had begun to age it was clear that he was lying.
The sound of the phone beeping shifted Sarah's focus to the flat screen for a moment.
A name he had not seen for a long time.
About a year and a half since the man became a student exchange representative in America.
A place tens of millions of kilometers away from the land he was walking on.
He's Kevin, Sarah's best friend from junior high school.
People who never underestimate Sarah who was often bullied at that time.
"Hallo." Sarah said slowly.
"Hallo.. Miss tomboyku how are you? Why didn't you pick up my phone yesterday." Kevin's voice across there was heard.
"I forgot to bring my phone." Sarah answered honestly because yesterday she misfortune so forget the goods that are like a second life according to others but not with Sarah.
"Your habit of forgetfulness is getting worse huh, you senile grandmother." His eyes while laughing.
"Hows it? The demon you're telling me about has made progress yet?." Sarah diverted the conversation.
"Hey.. He's just my friend Not Gebetan, To me You're my eternal daughter Sarah." Hearing that Sarah just fiddled her lazy eyes.
The jokes that Kevin often throws have become his food every day from the past until now.
"Btw Sarah mom asks why she rarely plays at home. Mama prepared your favorite soup on Sunday." The question made Sarah quiet.
He has known Kevin for a long time.
In the past when they came home from school they were always together on a motorcycle and stopped by his house first to play PS or do PR.
But now the atmosphere feels different since Kevin left.
Everything is the same but there is a sense that makes Sarah uncomfortable but she can not explain it.
"Hallo. Sarah are you still there?." The call awakened his daydream.
"Yes." answered Sarah briefly not knowing what to answer.
"You have a problem?." Kevin's voice was worried.
"I'm okay just in school a lot of errands?." Answer Sarah.
He is not entirely lying Indeed the task lately a lot because it has entered the middle of the semester.
"Redirect to Sarah's video call." His tone of speech implies decisiveness.
Sarah can't refuse anymore.
She tidied her hair and then switched to video call mode.
Look at the Face that has been accompanying the heavy day without forcing Sarah to tell a story.
The one who made Sarah strong and not too afraid of the cruel world.
The face she had longed for.
"Are you okay?." Ask Kevin again.
His eyes were fixed on Sarah's face.
The one in question just silently smiled put his face on the table as a crutch.
"I know you're not okay, look at your eye bags, God, it's getting deeper and what it is. Your face is getting thinner." Kevin closed his face for a moment it did not escape Sarah's sight.
He was still silent only silent.
"Why? Don't you trust me anymore? I know we're a long way from Sarah but know you like this worries me. I don't want you to be sick let alone in a moment you're going to take a test, try to hear my advice is you're not just Sarah's, Sarah's own, There's STILL ME." Kevin said worriedly by emphasizing my word at the end of his speech.
"I'm fine Kevin, you don't have to worry I'm just exhausted from a lot of work." Sarah closed her eyes for a moment she did not want to make her best friend worried but want how else.
Kevin's like a psychic who knows everything without him telling stories.
Sarah is confused now.
"Have a rest now, it's night, Good night." The call was closed without waiting for a reply from Sarah.
Sarah knew her best friend was angry.
"Sorry." He said slowly while looking down.
For years Sarah never cried.
Last cry when her mother and sister left.
From there she did not want to cry anymore.
Whatever it is, he never cries.
For Sarah to cry it looks weak.
That's why he can't cry.
Because the world is so cruel, it takes a strong mentality to stay afloat.

The clock is showing at 12 p.m.
Sarah's still struggling with her phone.
Sending applications here and there are more than 7 lockers be it waitress, office girl, inter-messaging service etc.
He prayed that he would get a job soon.
Although it should reduce its rest time.
Brakk..
The sound of falling objects shocked Sarah.
With a slow step he approached the door of his room by holding a broom in his room.
The door slowly opened.
Sarah peeked then was surprised to see her father lying on the floor in a supine position.
The broom in his hand was thrown away and ran towards his father.
"Papa wakes up.. Papa.." cried Sarah.
the body was swayed slowly but there was no response at all.
Not feeling a drop of clear Cristal fell from Sarah's eyes without her noticing.
He is weak now.
Weak to his feet he could not move and his breathing seemed narrow to enter the lungs.
His mind was confused and mixed.
She's afraid
So scared
Fear of losing someone who means something to her.
