SYAHDU (Contract Sleep Friends)
First Lecture

I'm enjoying today. The day that Sister Wicak had breakfast with me and Grandma at home.

Early in the morning he came and said that he had not had breakfast with a face begging me to cook him the fried rice I used to make for him. I'm happy, she likes my cooking.

We also took the busway together. He sat down and held my hand while on the bus. He looks so cute on the outside, but he really cares about me. The second person who understood me the most after Grandma.

But that hand grip had to come off after a pregnant woman had boarded and she gave the mother her seat. Okay, but I want to stay close to him. Although my lips pursed, he only smiled faintly at me while standing in his place.

Arriving there, he told me to wait a while to take the re-registration form after registering online yesterday.

"Try checking first. I filled it all up."

Brother Wicak handed me some paper. I read it carefully. Everything is filled correctly.

My name is Syahdu Larasati. Date of birth, february 27. Blood type, B. I read everything and smiled broadly. He knows me well.

"Udah?"

I nodded for sure and Brother Wicak directly took him to the registration room.

"It's done." He said as he sat down and pulled out his phone.

"Where are we?" My smile expands, imagining a walk with Mr. Wicak in this city. He must know a lot of interesting places.

"Where are you going?" Ask while continuing to focus on her phone.

"Sister, I want to go for a walk..."

"Geekk!!"

We turned our heads, two beautiful and fashionable-dressed women waving at Brother Wicak and sister Wicak smiling little at them.

"Friends brother?" Askaqua. The two girls were very pretty and they walked towards us.

"Yes." Yeah."

"It's really pretty." I praised the two people who walked around smiling. "Sister, just tell me I'm not your sister's boyfriend, yeah."

"Why?" Wicak's forehead is wrinkled.

"Shamefully. They're pretty." My speech. But honestly, I was embarrassed and shy around them. Whereas in the village, I was quite fashionable because some of my friends even asked for consideration of the style of clothes to me.

"Sir, why? No, there's no class." Ask women in white and short jeans. So pretty.

"Listin lecture." Answer's short.

The two women looked at me from foot to head. I'm looking down embarrassed. Today I wear jeans, a brown shirt, and a ponytail. I thought it was good, but judging from the way they looked at me, I felt very old-fashioned.

"From the village, huh?" Ask the other woman and I nod with a smile.

"Know, this is my girlfriend."

I suddenly saw Brother Wicak while wide-eyed. I told you, don't tell. But he doesn't care about my words.

"Oohs. What do you tell me so often? Get in here too?" Ask while extending a hand.

Whahuh? Which is often told? My monkey went up, it felt so good to hear that. Apparently, Brother Wicak admitted me and often told me to his friends.

"Shahdu." I said while welcoming their hands.

"Imel and this is Cintya." A man named Imel.

"Lo's busy, huh?"

"Pake it again. Yeah iyeah. Don't you see there's a girl?" Timpal.

"Ah, yes, that's it. We go first, yeah!"

The two women instantly left while I was still staring in their direction.

"Why?" Asked Brother Wicak who saw me mutely staring at the two who had walked far.

"They're pretty, brother. I think all my friends are beautiful. Has anyone been interested in it here?" I was curious and Mr. Wicak even shook his head in wonder at my question.

"I'm serious, brother. Moreover, it seems like the older brother's friend is interested in the older brother."

"If indeed I intend to find a girlfriend again, we should have broken up!" He said firmly. "I'm here to study, not find a boyfriend. I didn't think of any other woman because my mind was full of you." Brother Wicak standing up. "Udah, let's go home."

My heart is flowering hearing that. Brother Wicak almost never said sweet, but once I spoke, my heart seemed to be escaping from its place. But seriously, he didn't know that it had stuck in my heart.

He pulled my hand that had been smiling since hearing her words. Without realizing it, his words made me very happy.

"Sister, where are we going?" I asked who just followed the steps of Mr. Wicak while holding each other's hands.

"Watch. There's a good movie." He answered and I smiled more. For the first time, I was finally able to watch in the cinema.

...🍁...

First day of college. I just brought an empty binder book and stationery. The rest is just liptint and my phone.

I already know the room because yesterday Brother Wicak has invited me around the campus. It's just, I don't have any friends yet because there's no ospek of all kinds. And the first day, I really was like a fool.

Look, some of the people who came in were already holding friends. And again I feel like I'm kueling myself because my classmates look stylish.

I sit back and relax thinking. I moved to the city with a new life and hope, hopefully no one knows me in this college.

I want to be a good person without any more skewed gossip about myself being the son of a prostitute.

Ah, looks like I should change my nickname. I don't want to be called Syahdu here. What about Larasati? I smile. Right, I have to change my nickname to Larasati.

"Is there anyone on this bench?"

My daydream was gone, a beautiful woman with short hair came to my bench.

"No. Empty, really." My solute.

"Ah, thank goodness. I don't like it very much up front." He said and sat down. "I'm Adina." He extended a hand.

"Correct." I answered while welcoming his hand.

Ah, my first friend. The sweetness..

"Eh, you know, in front of me saw a handsome guy. I hope you get into this class, yeah."

I heard the conversation of the two women on the bench in front of me, it seemed like there was a man who caught his attention. And if you look around, the men in this class are cool, really. What does he say is handsome, what is it? I'm starting to get curious.

And right, I saw the man who came in. He managed to make the person in the class stare at him. He's really handsome. Her skin was pure white, her nose was sharp, her lips were sexy and her hair looked so soft that I touched my hair. What shampoo is he wearing, huh?

He sat on my right and did not seem to want to get acquainted. I also do not care because I am not the kind of person who is friendly considering my position in the village is also quite concerned with the hospitality that is considered to seek the attention of men. Huh, remembering that makes me angry again.

Today has not yet begun learning. The incoming lecturers just wanted us to introduce ourselves and have us look for some material to discuss next week.

I was a little surprised, it turned out that college was like that. I think the books will be divided and instead asked to find the type of book he gave the details to his students and we also have to find out for ourselves the picture for the material next week. Really interesting, it's like learning on your own.

When I finished, I glanced at the clock. It turned out that it was still 12 noon and I wanted to go to a bookstore to find what the lecturer asked for as well as walk around memorizing places in the city.

I contacted Mr. Wicak, but he couldn't accompany me because he was in college until the afternoon.

Hah, okay. I'll go to the nearest bookstore myself.

Arriving there, I complained throughout the store because I was not a fan of textbooks like Mr. Wicak. I prefer cookbooks. If only there was a Brother Wicak, it would have been all right.

After tracing shelf by shelf, I finally found a book on his bone that looked the same author's name as the lecturer asked.

"Huh, that's the book."

I want to grab a book on the top shelf. A little more, my hand is almost there.

Ah, hard. I can't reach for it. Then suddenly a tall body behind me grabbed the book I wanted to take. He picked it up and looked at the book for a moment.

"Ah, thank you." I was dumb, for he went with the book.

Hold still. My eyes narrowed to make sure what I saw. Wasn't that the boy sitting next to me?
