SYAHDU (Contract Sleep Friends)
Getting Regretful

"Wan, that..."

"I broke the door. With my own eyes. Not one of the two girls, Du. Lots! I wonder, why that guy is always in puja-puja even though his behavior is rotten. Ga pantes made into a temen too!"

I can't speak. So, how many girls did she play like that? Again, my mind was on Grandma. Likewise, Arga really gave the best service beyond my expectations who thought he was only helping with treatment. Later, the grandmother was transferred to a VIP room and hired a special nurse. Then, he gave me a monthly pocket.

"He will find the weakness of the woman and use it. Anyway, he's not a good guy. I swear, I really want to leave his face! Be stuck. I'm lazy to talk about him." Clouds stand. "Come on, class starts."

I walk with the clouds. All those cloud words made me think. Arga did listen to my complaint on the roof of the hospital, then asked me to be his servant for two years with a reply that I thought was worth it. Moreover, the cost of medicine and grandmother's hospital is very expensive.

"I'm here to live well, Du. In the past, you knew how I was in the village. Up here, my parents worked and went straight up our economy." The story and I nodded.

"..and now, I have a car." The cloud held up a key on his finger.

"I'm glad your wish finally materialized." I remember Awan once said he wanted to own his own car, even though he laughed and said 'his wealth is not possible our rich slums have cars'.

"Let's go for a walk, yeah!"

I'm giving a thumbs up. We went into class.

"Ras, here!" Adina waved her hand.

"Here, Wan." I'll introduce the Clouds to them.

"Friends, this is my friend. The cloud."

"Hi." The clouds waved their hands at them.

"Hello.." greet the others.

The lecturer came in and I sat down next to Adina while Awan sat not far from me. Somehow, the Clouds still kept staring at me until class started.

"What??!" My whisper to the Clouds was a little uneasy as he kept staring at me.

He did not answer directly. Look again towards the front where Arga is sitting. "What is your relationship with him??!" Clouds with a sharp tone.

I frowned. Does he know? What looks? Oh, my God, my chest started to shake. Death if the Cloud can read my relationship with the Cloud. Does he need me to bribe him to cover it up?

"He stole a glaring look at you!" connect the Cloud again.

Hah, I took out the breath that I had been holding since. I deg-degan. I thought he knew, it turns out..

"Nothing" I replied briefly and then focused again forward.

"Related?"

"Ck! I got Wicakkk!" I replied while blasting towards him in annoyance.

...🍁...

I wasn't focused, I was thinking about what the Cloud said about Arga. Though I saw Arga was indifferent to him, it was not like knowing the Clouds. But the clouds are also unlikely to lie. If so, what does this have to do with me? Arga may have been so long ago and I am now the prey. Aye, right? Just think of it that way. There was no sign of a woman ever staying in her apartment. Those clothes still have their tags.

"Hey, Race. Ih, daydreaming." Alika poked my hand with the tip of the pen.

"Oh, what, yeah?"

"Think what, anyway? Focus dong, again doing the job, nih." Adina said and I exhaled heavily. Kulirik Arga who also seemed to focus on his laptop.

"sorry. Here, let me help you type." I took the laptop that was in front of Adina.

"The big lines you wrote are good, Race. You really read it, the book." Said Alika.

"Different, village children are usually very diligent. Different from the lazy city boy." Naya and I said shut up.

"That's mah, elo aja, kali. I'm not." Alika and Naya's refute is just a whimper.

"That's it, you're a village huh, Ras?" Ask Naya. I kept quiet for a while, then nodded when I found out that what he was talking about was the Clouds. Anyway I can't lie about that.

"His son." Further again.

"But the style is still, rich not village children, deh. Her outfit has also branded all." Connect Alika.

"If you have a crush, say so." Adina Ledek.

"Not yet, deh." Said Alika again. While I was just hearing it, I did see the cloud style that was already urban.

"Laras also looks different wearing ZORA brand clothes. I guess you don't understand those brands, Ras." Tukas Naya and I raised eyebrows, why did they know the brand of clothes I was making? At first glance I glanced at Arga who was sitting in front of me. He also looked at me and looked down at his laptop.

"Lo thinks it's the village boy, the primitive guy, huh? They also have the internet, kali." Ibra protests on Naya and Alika who have since discussed village children.

"Heheehee, That's not it. Because Laras right, plain kayak that looh." Naya gave an excuse.

"The new gue is coming, huh. Lo new necklace yes, Ras." Alika opened a new topic, still concerning me.

"From his girlfriend. Mending gausa you ask." said Adina who smiled glanced at me.

"Udah done. Send where, ni?" Tanya Arga shifted the topic.

"To me, Ga. How about, it's ready for the ball. Let me stack up and send it to Ibra." Adina charged at Naya who was still smiling because she was not finished either.

That is until the group work is done. Ibra chose to go home first, Naya and Alika are still fun there to enjoy live music that just started. Arga is also still with his laptop.

While Adina and I are still putting together stuff.

"Ga, you sing, dong." Pinta Naya's.

"Yes, Ga. Your voice is so good. Surely many visitors here are entertained, deh." Connect Alika.

Arga just silently looked towards the small stage not far from where we were sitting.

"Ras, Din, you're here first, right?" Ask Alika.

"Ga can. I'm hustling. How about, Ras?" Ask Adina back.

"I have to go to the hospital."

"Ah, you guys are so hard to hang out with." Complain Naya. "Ga, you want to, right?" Ask Naya to Arga.

"No way, I still have another job." The answer is to close the laptop.

"Yeah.." Alika and Naya look moody because no one wants to join them.

Adina and I both walked out of the cafe. I saw Arga was still there, I didn't know what to do.

"We split up here, yeah. It's different from that." Adina waved a hand and left me alone.

I started walking to the front of the road looking for a taxi. I didn't know my purpose until I got a message from Arga.

'Wait ahead.'

'I've gone the way.' Reply lying.

Reading Arga's message made me think about the contract. Looks like Arga forgot that I was only ordered to serve him in bed. But several times he ordered me to do something else. Even though I obey him because I am a little afraid of Arga, also do not want to make a fuss and noisily refute it.

I walked in search of the wind. I don't know where, which obviously at this time it feels like to be alone. In the city, which I thought could calm me down from the noise of the people who continue to bother me. Apparently not. My life only got worse after meeting Arga. Wh why? Why do I feel so sorry?

The word Cloud has a point. If you want to live a quiet life, then go away Arga. But it's too late and the only one who can howl grandma is just Arga.

After all, regretting is useless. Already lived.

TIN!

I flinched, the sound of the car horn infuriated me. But the lights settled there. It means he's quiet in the back.

I'm turning. Arga looked at me while holding the wheel.

TIN!

I flinched again. Damn, his face was calm in the car, but it made me want to keep on nailing him.

I opened the car door and went inside.

Without further ado, he immediately ran his car. Though I still want to find the wind, refreshing my mind which later still difficult to accept my new life.

"Gue there's an important event next week. So you have to get me."

I was silent, staring out the window.

"Lo horrors, right?"

"Yes." I replied briefly. Lazy, that's what I really wanted to say. But I don't think I have the power to volunteer.

Suddenly I thought of escaping from Arga's bond. But, how is it? I don't have the money to pay the fine. Also the cost of the grandmother's hospital in the future. Brother Wicak, did I ask for his help? But does he have that kind of money? In the end, I had no other way.

We stayed silent until the apartment. He asked me to take a shower and change my clothes. I said, serving him in bed. This time, I, who was in a bad mood, felt nothing when it came to him. I also reluctantly turned my head, I tilted my face until he finished doing so.

"Lo's sick?" Arga asked as he cleaned the remaining liquid that hit the bed sheet.

I shook my head lazily and got out of bed with a blanket stuck to my body.

"If it hurts, let me get to the doctor."

"No." I went straight to the bathroom, changed my pajamas and slept.

I turned my back to Arga's body still sitting on the edge of the bed with my laptop on. I want to sleep well, keep falling asleep for the next two years. No, this time passes quickly. I hope that when I wake up, I will be there in the next two years, when my contract with Arga is over, and I can live quietly with my grandmother and sister Wicak. I hope so.

Seriate...
