Buntara Rindu
Section 4
Black clouds instantly appeared from when. It is rare for the city of Jakarta to be cloudy in the morning like this, but it should not have entered the rainy season that must occur in October to April. But it's still July. It should be summer, right? But either because of global warming, even the weather can sometimes play tricks on humans with sometimes rain, or even can suddenly heat up. It was as if the moon would not affect the seasons in this present era.
A drizzling sound was heard outside. Saka walked towards the window of his room on the second floor. Sure enough, this time it rained in the morning which should have been sunny. He glanced at the plastic snacks market he had bought. A flash of memory of Rindu ruled Saka's heart. The woman's smile is like hypnotizing Saka who is usually skeptical about love at first sight. Because according to him, love is a chemical process. Where the heart plays with a sense of intensity caused by a pair of human children who meet each other every day. But now all that thought was broken when he met Miss, the market hawker woman he just met this morning.
From within her subconscious, Saka walked down through the wooden stairs that looked shiny due to the varnish that stained her. He approached to the side of the sideboard, and took two umbrellas. For some reason, he was very sure if it must miss the rain. Without changing clothes first, Saka went out of the house, down the direction to where Rindu had walked slowly and gradually disappeared from his sight earlier.
His left hand was still holding an umbrella while his right hand was holding another umbrella, for himself. Saka himself did not know why he could be this close, approaching the woman he had just met.
Finally, his steps stopped when he saw Miss taking shelter in a kampling post not far from his home. Saka quickened his pace when he saw Miss who seemed to be hugging her own body because she might be cold.
Miss who realized the arrival of Saka chose to budge, she did not know what Saka would do to her, so she did not want to think anything about the man.
"Mother." Saka reached out and gave an umbrella to Miss.
"Don't bother, Mom." Longing to reject the subtle good intentions of Saka.
"No, Ma'am. I don't feel bothered, anyway. I just can't see the rain." Saka half forced and returned to thrust the umbrella at Miss. "I want to help people who come from one area with me, Ma'am. I want to be friends."
There's no other choice, miss already wet bitch. He's cold, too.
"False, Mas. I can walk home. I'm going to college soon too."
"Yes, Mother. Go ahead. Cos you're not far from here, are you, Ma'am?" ask again, as if to make sure if Miss is okay.
"Yes... Deket. Excuse me, Mas. Tomorrow I return the umbrella when I sell and pass in front of Mas Saka's house."
The face of Miss continues to dominate Saka's mind. He almost thought whether in the market that longs for rent was useful? But in a hurry he tepis. It might be true, if Saka was attracted to her because of her ayu, gentle, and shady nature. Besides, Saka has not eaten a single piece of Miss merchandise.

The miss is ready to go. Lucky distance from the boarding to the campus is not far away, so long as to save costs, and allocate transportation funds for the cost of daily meals. Not to forget he put the rest of his sales cake this morning into his totebag. Maybe later Raya and Sofia will taste the snacks of commoners as they are often called market snacks.
Suddenly a 'beep' sound came from Miss's phone, and she knew very well it was the tone of the incoming whatsapp message. Quickly miss reaching into the contents of his bag looking for the existence of his smartphone.
Reyhan's name is on his screen. Quickly miss opening the message. For some reason when he imagined about Reyhan his heart did not stop beating. The man who often greeted Gus Reyhan, is hafiz of the Qur'an, and of course soleh. As well as a high education leads him successfully to become an educator on this campus. And deliberately refused in the near future to continue the management of the boarding school Kiai Ma'ruf.
(Udah off? Don't be late again, Rin!)
The content of the short message was actually very simple. However, that little attention certainly made the heart of Missing like flying high.
(Damn, Gus.)
When Miss is walking. The sound of a car approaching him. White pajero, of course a vehicle that is no stranger to Missing. Before long the car glass was opened, slowly Saka's face was seen in Missing's view.
"You going to college, Ma'am?" ask Saka from behind the wheel of his car.
"Just, Mum."
"Bareng is just like me, Ma'am. I'm going to college too."
"No, Mas. Ngerepotin. In Saka's car, Rindu saw two of the man's friends. Of course her instinct as a woman to anticipate any danger that would threaten her. After all Miss does not know who Saka is, and she does not want to take risks, let alone she lives in the capital where the crime rate is quite high.
Saka knew that if he was alone, he would miss being ushered in by him. But because there are two bullies who do not want to bring their cars each this is what makes Miss afraid. Saka was forced to let go of Longing for the woman's own path.
"Monggo, Mas." Missed to walk again, carrying a white tote bag that he had brought since.
Saka deliberately precedes Rindu. However, he deliberately slowed down his car.
"That's the rich chick you hit yesterday, right, Sak?" tanya Dika, still looking back.
"Yes, he's also in the area."
"Weh... There was a motor that stopped in front of him. " Oki nyeluk and managed to make the two friends look back.
Surprisingly Miss want to be pigmented by the motorist who uses a sport bike with a fullface helmet.
"Gee... Lose fast you, Sak!" seloroh Dika, who knows if Saka is interested in the beautiful girl earlier.
"Damn lo! Saka is not easy to fall in love with! I fell in love with a boyfriend."
Lying, Saka lied when the motorbike that was piggybacking misses passing his car. There Indeed Longing does not show affection. However, seeing the girl with another man, made Saka's heart slightly obstructed.

"Summer suwun, Gus. It has taken me to the campus." Missed getting off Reyhan's bike, while the man took off his fullface helmet.
"It was intentionally passing to your boarding house. But said your mother kos. You have left. Lucky to meet at least you're not late. Come with ospek!" answer Reyhan.
"Damn." Miss bowing your head, then leave Reyhan.
You could say Reyhan was so good with the girl. However, behind it all, Reyhan has feelings for Missing. Instead of wanting to express his feelings for the girl. Reyhan did deny it, because since childhood he had been betrothed by his parents. He just does not want to bind the feeling of longing, and release it when he will go up to the guarantee, and will hurt the woman he had loved long ago.
