After calling his Father and Mother who live in Malang, Ardhita then tried to contact his lover, Dhito. The girl rubbed her nose for a moment and then started contacting Dhito.
"Assalamualaikum, Mas Dhito," said Ardhita in a soft voice.
From Makassar too, Dhito replied and also returned a greeting from Ardhita by bringing the phone to his ear. "Waalaikumsalam, Ta ... how's it going?" asked Dhito, whose voice was lethargic.
"Alhamdulillah, Dhita is still good here, Mas. How is it going on by yourself?" ask Ardhita.
"Less good, Dik .. especially Mas already in-PHK from Paradise Hotel. So, this Mas is ready to pack and want to go home to Malang," said Dhito.
Apparently, Dhito was eventually PhK-in. The hotel itself was completely paralyzed. There will be no visitors staying at the hotel. Completely paralyzed. Especially after there is a discourse for home alone, it feels like everyone is more at home. Stay away from the crowd, and many workers are affected because they have to be PHK.
Makassar City itself is also very quiet. The Karebosi Square that used to be a crowd place was now so quiet. Likewise with the Losari Beach which is usually a place where residents exercise and enjoy the afternoon is also so quiet. Not infrequently, the roar of ambulance that seemed to squeal his left ear in the streets. The condition of Makassar feels so gripping.
"Mas, are you going home to Malang?" ask Ardhita.
"Yes, rather than later Mas stuck in Makassar and could not go home to Malang. The airport will also be closed and there will be no flights at all. Then, you have to move fast. Better to go home and be close to Father and Mother" replied Dhito.
At that time there was already a discourse that the airport would be closed. All airlines will stop operating. Dhito thought before he could not go home and return to Malang, it was better for Dhito to move quickly. Trapped in the place of the nomads as a roam, of course, makes Dhito will experience various difficulties later.
"When are you going home?" ask Dhita again now.
"Lusa. Mas has been packing, and has bought tickets to get off in Surabaya. Stay later connect to Malang," replied Dhito. After that, Dhito then mende-sah slowly and return to speaking. "This time, I'm coming home to Malang and there's no you, right?"
Usually when he comes home to Malang will be able to meet his girlfriend, Dhita. However, this time the atmosphere was different because Dhita was now in Natuna. Malang will certainly feel different without the figure of Dhita.
But at that time it was as if there was no bright spot until when this pandemic would end. There was no hope as warm as the rising sun and radiating its warmth. Now, the world seems to be pitch-black, and neither will it be certain of tomorrow.
"I'm glad we could call each other like this, Dik ... Voice overpass. A little treat longing, even though later we can not meet. Although sometimes like this also adds to the longing in the heart," said Dhito.
Hearing what Dhito had just said, Ardhita shed her tears. Phone longs, kite sound that can be a little medicine, but at the same time can also make the heart more restless and anxious.
"Sir, are you fasting now?" ask Dhito later.
Ardhita nodded her head, wiping the clear circles on her face. "Yes, Dhita is fasting, Mas. Although very heavy. Natuna Island is very hot, and the task of guarding is very tiring by using the Personal Protective Equipment. It was like breathing and breathing oxygen was hard" Ardhita said.
"Goddessa. Surely your satisfaction will be rewarded with the same reward of Allah, Dik ... Ramadan this time we are without sua, yes Dik ... until Eid al-Fitr?" ask Dhito again.
"Maybe, Mas ...."
Dhito himself there was very sad. The man then rubbed his eyes which felt so spicy because Dhito was close to crying as well. Missed his girlfriend.
"Possibly yes, Mas ...." There was an answer from Dhita who now sounded like she was crying.
"Healthy yes, Dik .. let's love each other by staying healthy and trying to survive until the end of the pandemic well. I'll wait until we meet" Dhito replied.
From the phone miss it felt once the sadness felt by the two couples. Although Dhito will return to Malang, but there is no Ardhita there. Of course, the city of Malang reduced its charm. In addition, even if Ramadan is not adequate, they hope to stay healthy and fight to survive until the end of this pandemic.
