SYAHDU (Contract Sleep Friends)
Group Chat

I still think about what happened to Mr. Wicak. The shame still lingers on my crown. I feel like crying. I don't even focus on the books I read.

"Shahdu.."

Grandma is awake.

"You why? Any issues?"

"No, grandma." I answered and helped grandma sit back.

"How, grandma? Is anyone still sick?" My toot.

"Yes, sometimes grandma drowned, that's it. Likes asphyxiation."

"Grandmother told you the same doctor who visited?"

Grandma nodded. "Say it's because it hasn't healed completely."

"Well, that. It's not that Syahdu won't take grandma home. But it can't." I answered my grandmother who asked me to come home every day.

"Grandma just thought of you. Poor thing, you should be in this city to study quietly. Not even working."

Syahdu held his grandmother's hand. "Sir, Syahdu is happy here. Lots of friends, not like in the village. Keep going, about the cost of grandma don't worry, yeah."

"That friend of yours, grandma wants an acquaintance. Bring him here, will you?"

"Friends?"

"Yes. What you said was the owner of this hospital. Grandma wants to say thank you to him."

I'm dumbfounded. Why do you remember, grandma.

"Oh, that. Yes, Syahdu will come here." Reply origin.

"That's your necklace? Just bought?" Grandma looked up at my neck.

"Eh, this is from Brother Wicak." I answered while holding the little heart-shaped toy.

"He loves that? Wow, that's nice. Syahdu.don't betray Wicak. He's a very good young man. Granny, there's no young man as good as him in this day and age."

I looked down, looking at the necklace I was holding. "Grandma's right, he's a good guy."

Grandma stroked my hair. "Craftsmen learn. Don't skip. If you're tired, come here or granny's massage."

I smiled and put my head on his lap.

"Makasi yes, grandma. Grandma too, do not quickly stay Syahdu. Syahdu wants the grandmother to continue to exist until Syahdu has children. Hence, grandma must continue here until she is completely healed. Syahdu will do anything to keep grandma here." I wiped my tears from my eyes so Grandma wouldn't know I was crying.

Grandma just kept quiet while gently stroking my hair, just like that until Sister Fina came. The nurse who takes care of Grandma. Then I went out to do the job at the cafe. I don't have a laptop to study.

Don't forget I sent a message to Arga, that I'm going home late because I have to finish the task before going to her apartment.

'I am late coming kanya, because the task first in the cafe'

TRINGS

I saw the screen on the phone. Someone added me to the group.

Hangoutzz, that's the group name.

Naya: this is a special group to discuss the task yes yes..

Nick: ogehh..

Naya sent me a picture

Naya: Race, really exciting. Nyesel did not come.

Alika: really cool, Arga !

Dina: Next time we come bring Laras.

Ibra: Hoi, specifically discuss the task he said!

Naya: 😩

I smiled reading the conversation in the group. Why is there to see Arga, every mallem also I sleep with him. Thought. I rushed to the cafe before it was too late.

...~...

TRINGS

'Lo where.'

Arga sent me a message.

'Warnett. Patience, a little longer.'

Arga: Here. Take my laptop.

"No talking about it!!" I screamed at the screen of my phone and managed to invite people to look strangely at me.

I also put on a mask and a hat, headed for Arga's apartment. Arriving there, I saw he was cleaning and sitting on the sofa holding a laptop.

I went in and put my bag on the table.

Arga pointed to a laptop lying on the table.

"Seriously?"

"Hm."

I looked at the laptop I used to see on tv. Laptop with a picture of pineapple bitten.

I sat down under Arga and began to resume the many tasks I had done. After a few minutes, I closed the laptop and stood up to clean up.

After changing into sleeping pajamas, I slumped over the bed while opening up the reference book I borrowed from the perpus. Mark some important things with sticky notes.

TRINGS

My phone and Arga sounded.

Naya: Is anyone sleeping?

Alika: already in the middle of the mallem, ga bobo lu?

Naya: pengen ditemenin ayang.

Dina: kaciaan no ayang

Ibra: here I am temenin

Nay: dih

Me: 😸😸

Dina: I'm learning again.

I: uh, samaan.

I sent photos of books and sticky notes on the bed.

Alika: on a very diligent🤣 what's new to me.

Naya: luxury is also your bed, Ras.

Ehh. I immediately sat down from my position. How'this? Why is he focusing on the bed. I'm just sending a picture of a book on the bed.

I opened the photo I sent. Ah, it turns out that the look of Arga bed rest that does look expensive.

I glanced at Arga who was focused on his laptop.

Alika: very comfortable sleep tuh wkakaka.

Arga sent photos of laptops and books on the table.

Arga: Noisy. Do your job.

Naya: uh Argaa. What task do you do? Does anybody?

Dina: There is a dong. Mr Bondo's Duty.

Naya: Die! How about, nih😭

Ibra: brother help here, neng.

Brand: Wkwkwkw. Njir, I do skrg, deh!

I glanced at Arga who was already focusing on his laptop again. Good thing to switch topics.

Next time, I have to be careful.

...🍁...

...PoV Arga Alexander's...

I shut down the laptop, thankfully the college work is done. Then I saw the woman asleep holding a pencil. Looks like he overslept.

I tidied the stuff up on the table, then wrapped around the smooth body.

Rather, I remember what happened this afternoon. Although I knew his body was stiff at the beginning, but I managed to make him make a sound. It feels pretty fun.

I also deliberately bought a new laptop for him, so it does not bother if you do the task. Nowadays, laptops have become a necessity for students, right.

I don't know why, yeah. In my heart there is a desire to make this woman happy. In fact, he also did not like me very much. Even go far. In fact, I never saw this girl with a big smile when she was with me like she was smiling in front of the glass earlier while muter-muter is not clear. Also if again the same guy, the mute cengengesan rich horse.

I also saw his neck which was wrapped. He got a gift from his girlfriend. Is he proposed, huh?

I don't know, don't care either. Although I feel, this woman is special. Maybe that's why the man named Wicaksana kept it up for years.

I sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his face. I know, the guy called her Syahdu and I speculated that the girl must have deliberately changed her nickname.

It felt pity as well, he had to survive under such conditions. Considered a bad prostitute child even though the way of talking is also very alus. Until here even befriended Alika and Naya who I think are the children of the night. It can be seen from the way they consider Syahdu who never kisses is an oddity. In fact, women like Syahdu is very rarely found.

I also feel guilty about her. But how else, I didn't know from the beginning.

TRINGS. My phone's vibrating.

'Dear Arga, your appearance was really good. Tomorrow we say yuuk.'

Who the hell? Probably one of the girls I've ever made. There is no need for Syahdu which is still kinyis-kinyis. Blocks. Delete. How many numbers have I blocked? I don't know. I hope there won't be another woman who asks me to sleep.

Seriate...
