Buntara Rindu
Part 1

People say there are no children in this world, but not for me, when I still need them. My mom and dad never wanted me. I still hear often from Si Mbahku. "Never hate your parents, never!"

For Saka, love is a chemical process that occurs in a pair of human children who meet continuously. Even the man does not know and believe in love at first sight before he actually experiences it.

"I wonder, in college there are many beautiful girls but nothing that can make my heart vibrate."

Saka is busy scanning his younger siblings who are following ospek, today is the first day of college after a long holiday. Usually he can target a clear level sister and of course fresh in his faculty.

"God... You like badass girls the most, don't you?" tanya Oki slightly sneered towards her best friend.

"Not really, if the girl is just good to be invited to bob a moment. But if you make a wife obviously beautiful outside in dong," seloroh Saka.

"Oh yeah... Behavior minus, want dapet bini spec fairy mother. Dream of your altitude!" Dika chimed in on the babbles of his two best friends.

"Reverse cuy! Ntar night party. The birthday of Rosi. You were invited, weren't you, Sak?" Oki asked Saka who was still busy watching her younger sister who was following the Orientation period, they simultaneously wore attributes beyond reason that could not be imagined. You could say approaching to embarrass yourself.

"Yes... If Saka is obviously invited dong, Ki. Lu see, she's the most loved Kating in our faculty. Not in our faculty. The other faculty is the same."

Saka chooses indifferently to the nagging of his two best friends whom he considers useless for his life. After all he had promised himself, before the thesis and graduation, he must already have a heart patch that of course was ready to be invited to be serious. He has not yet worked. But he is sure. Both his parents in Semarang will be able to sustain his life and his wife later. As a subsidiary of a textile company, of course, life is luxurious and foya-foya is Saka's job every day. He deliberately chose college in Jakarta just want to refresh the brain, and free from the shackles of parents who always want to manage his life.

You could say the three are indeed very close since the first entry into this University. Mahar Dika Pangestu who comes from Surabaya, he is the least silent, the most playboy of the three of them, and Oki Alexander who comes from South Sulawesi. Although the name is the same as the old artist, but his face is very inversely proportional to the handsome actor.

"Gaslah... The night we took Rosi's birthday." Saka chose to walk away from where he had been sitting. He headed for the parking lot, where his H-plated Pajero car was sitting there.

Saka and his three friends are deliberately going to the campus to find a younger sister prey that they can date. Not because they've lost their prestige and can't find any more women. However, according to them the beauty of the younger sister level who just graduated from High School is the most natural yet polished with the influence of the sparkling hedonism of the city of Jakarta which always keeps a million charms, and glittering luxuries.

Saka started to stater his car, and started to walk slowly towards the gate of his campus. Without Saka knowing suddenly he hit something to create a fairly strong impact. Saka braked his car suddenly.

"What's up, Sak?" Oki screams, then impulsively they get out of Saka's white pajero car.

Of course, the incident was witnessed by dozens of pairs of eyes around them.

Saka was surprised to find a white-hooded girl in a typical new student costume who was following the orientation period. Luckily Saka's car was not in high speed, as it had just come out of the parking lot.

"Aren't you papa?" Saka was about to touch the girl. However, unexpectedly the woman refused Saka's hand. As if protecting themselves.

"I'm not papa, Brother." Slowly she stood up, and rubbed away the dirt that stuck to her long skirt.

"You sure?" asked again, Saka felt worried and responsible for the mistakes he made.

"Yes, Brother." The girl lowered her head and just left after saying that. Saka could see very well her father's face behind the white veil she was wearing. Although it had been seen once since he was very guarding his eyes from Saka.

Saka continued to watch the girl, until she completely disappeared behind the wall. Even Saka knew he was a little limp from Saka's actions.

"Have nothing to think about, he told me he was okay. Yo... Unplug it!" Dika chimed in as if he did not care about the girl.

When his friends invite him into the car, Saka still continues to pay attention to the place where the girl disappeared behind the wall to immediately follow the orientation period.

Saka started back to stater his car, and now he's very careful because he doesn't want the same thing to happen again like that.

"You sure you want to go to Jakarta for college, Nduk?" An old woman who is often called Mbah Nah convinced her granddaughter, who had just graduated from the Aliyah Madrasah at a Pesantren Cottage in Semarang, Longs are cool to arrange clothes and put in a suitcase.

"Damn... Mbahs. Lawong Rindu has applied for a scholarship and accepted, if not taken yes, dear, Mbah."

Mbah Nah cupped his grandson's palm. "Aren't you going to shy away from your mother's father to, Nduk?" His rare eyes stared pushyly towards Miss.

"Sak estu. Longing only want the neem of science, coincidentally from all universities that miss ajuin scholarship, only this University can receive Miss."

"Then be thankful, thank God. Do not let you have a grudge against your father's mother. You also still have Mbah Kung with Mbah Ti who is loyal to support you."

Miss smiling. However, it was clear he could not hide his sadness. How he was dumped by his separated parents. Even among them no one wanted to take care of Miss since she was ten years old. From then on, they agreed to include Miss to Pondok Pesantren because they did not want to raise their biological children, and of course their partners also did not want to accept congenital children from both.

Although bitter, the journey of life longs are neglected by those who should care for him. Missing the spirit of proving if she's okay.

"Long for heartache, Mbah. I miss sincere if indeed all this can make the father and mother seneng."

Mbah Nah hugged her grandson gently. Only they miss it. Grandpa and Grandma from her mother who was always there to miss. Invite Miss during the holiday season, and finance her life while she is at the cottage.

"Chap... Doain longs for success, so that he can be happyin Mbah kung and Mbah Ti."

"Aami... Mbah Kung with Mbah Ti doain you are the best, Nduk. Achieve your dreams as high as the sky."

"Later there Long ngekos, Mbah. Not far from where Gus Reyhan lives."

"Reyhan's? Sopo?"

Longs to smile when talking about the child from Kiai where Rindu mondok first.

"Children of kiai where Rindu mondok first. Coincidentally he also became a lecturer at the school, Mbah. And the one who helped me miss him was there too."

"Alhamdulillah... Take care of yourself, yo."

"Yes, Mbah. Prayer Mbah Kung with Mbah Ti who always strengthen, Miss."

"The important one, nduk. Don't take revenge on your mother's father. Even though they are, without them you wouldn't be born, to?" The message that always misses to hear, never hate his father and mother. Although they have abandoned Miss since childhood.
