Capítulo 19: Farewell
Part 19
"My dear brother, where are mom and dad? Brother wants to say goodbye."
"Papa is out of town. Mommy was sleep earlier. I saw her, she wasn't feeling well." Dora replied.
"Hmm, yes, my sweet heart. Now i have gone home. Assalamualaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam."
-------------------------
"Bay, where's Malik?"
"Malik accompanied Dora to the bookstore. What's wrong?" Bayu asked Alisa.
"Oh no, I'm just asking." said Alisa.
"Hmm, you like it weird when you ask."
"It means?" asked Alisa.
"Your question is weird, yesterday why did you ask Dora like that?"
"She complained to you Bay, tsk tsk." Alisa didn't seem happy to hear that.
"Of course, she's my friend. What's wrong with her telling me. Malik doesn't mind anyway." Alisa shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.
Before long her eyes saw the two people she had asked about had appeared in front of her.
"Hey Alisa, Bay is still here just now?" asked Malik. Alisa just smiled wryly in response to Malik's reprimand.
"Got the book, Ra?" asked Bayu.
"You can, bro, you can even buy another book. There's still a promo because." Dora replied.
"You thirsty Ra?" asked Malik.
Dora nodded, Malik got up and headed to the cafeteria.
"Spoiled!" Alisa hissed not like it.
Dora and Bayu who heard it looked at each other in surprise. But they did not respond to Alisa's words. Soon Malik returned with a bottle of mineral water. He gave it to Dora, then drank it. Alisa chuckles in annoyance but looks the other way.
"Why are you, Sa?" asked Malik.
"It does not matter." The answer is short.
"Brother wants to meet the Lecturer in a moment, Dora just wait in the canteen, okay?" Malik said smiling at Dora.
Dora nodded in agreement.
"I'm home, bye." Alisa walked away from them without waiting for an answer.
"What is wrong with her?" Malik asked Bayu.
"Shit a bottle genie!" replied Bayu.
They laughed, then walked towards the Lecturer's room after escorting Dora to the cafeteria.
-----------------
It doesn't feel like a year has passed. Today Malik, Bayu and Alisa will graduate. This morning the campus was full of prospective graduates and their families. Dora was also present to accompany Malik who came with his mother and father who came from the village.
"Mother, Father, this is Dora." Malik introduces Dora to his parents. Even though they have talked through video calls several times, this is the first time Dora has met Malik's parents in person. Dora kissed the hands of Malik's parents.
"It's more beautiful in real, Lik." Father said.
"Yes sir, you are lucky to have a girlfriend as beautiful as Dora Lik." Mother continued while hugging Dora.
Malik nodded in agreement while Dora blushed. The graduation ceremony took place safely until it was finished. Malik invites Dora and her parents to eat at a restaurant. Meanwhile, in the distance, Alisa looked at the closeness of Dora and Malik's parents with envy.
------------------
It's been a month since graduation. Bayu has returned to his hometown, while Alisa has also returned to Jakarta. All this time he had been boarding here, because his father was on duty in Jakarta when he returned from America. Meanwhile, Malik has worked in the Lawyer's office, although his salary is not much.
But Malik is passionate about work. Experience is what he prioritizes most so that when he is able to open his own office he already has the experience to be successful. Meanwhile, Dora, who is already in her 5th semester, is also increasingly active in studying.
The target of completing 4 years of college must be achieved. Like tonight he was diligently doing his homework in his room.
"Dora, there's Malik out front." Mom said as she knocked on the bedroom door.
"Yes ma'am for a moment." Dora came out of the room to meet Malik on the terrace.
Malik was looking up at the sky when Dora greeted him.
"What's the matter, why don't you chat first if you want to come."
"Earlier, my brother from the office, came straight here, Ra. There is something that you want to talk to Dora about."
"What's the problem bro?" asked Dora. Malik took a deep breath before answering Dora's question.
"Look, Ra, you know that you really want to work in a big and bona fide office. It's not that you're not grateful, but you want to be successful with your own experience." Malik stopped for a moment, he looked at Dora who was seriously looking at him.
"This afternoon, Alisa called my brother. He said his uncle's office was in need of new employees. The office is big and well-known. The salary and position are quite tempting Ra. So...." Malik hangs the sentence yes seeing Dora's reaction first.
"So you want to go to Jakarta, to pursue your dreams."
"Yes Ra, brother wants to be successful so that later he can make Dora happy." Dora lowered her gaze, Dora was confused when she had to make a decision.
"How is Ra, can you go brother?" asked Malik.
"Dora leave the decision to my brother. If you think it's good, go, bro. Pursue your dreams there."
"But, Dora is it okay if you stay?" Dora shook her head firmly so Malik wouldn't worry about her.
After Malik died, Dora couldn't continue her work. His mind was restless and restless, but he had no other choice. He had to support Malik's decision because it was for his happiness too. While in the rented Malik.
"Okay so when did you come here Lik?" asked Alisa via video call.
"The day after tomorrow, maybe Sa, because I have to say goodbye to my father and mother in the village first." Malik replied.
"Okay, let me know later so I can pick you up at the airport!"
"Yes, thank you, good night, Sa. Assalamualaikum." Malik greetings to Alisa.
"Waalaikumsalam," said Alisa as she closed her cellphone.
"Good night too beibs!" he continued in his heart, smiling happily.
