189 | Jealousy 3

"That's impossible," I said."What's impossible?" asked Mr. P.“Aisha and Ahmed are engaged,” I replied."What makes you so sure?" asked Mr. P again."I met Aisha last night at her house," I said, "she said that she was on Madura Island to accompany her parents to check the oil and gas project there."Mr. P looked thoughtful. There was a short pause before he opened his mouth again."There's no way my informant was wrong," said Mr. P. “My informant is a reliable source. My informant was also the one who gave the students information about Mayor Jamaal.”I nodded, trusting Mr. P. Information from Mr. P never misses. He is reliable."I'm sorry if this information makes you ..." said Mr. P, which I cut immediately."It's okay," I said. "If you don't tell me, how will I find out."Silence enveloped Brother Eugene's stall again."Time to go to class," Matt said breaking the silence.

190 | Deceit

"Zoey ... she was abused by his customers," said the old man."What!?" I said surprised, half asked in disbelief.I rushed to Zoey's room.And right. In the room, I saw Zoey sitting half-lying clutching her cheek as if she had been slapped. Her hair is also messy. Zoey's room was a mess."Gerald!" I called out as I walked up to Zoey and helped her sit up, "what are you doing?""Why are you here?" asked Gerald."What did Zoey do that you had to abuse her?" I asked.Gerald looked at me more seriously."He tricked me!" cried Gerald again.“Deceptively, how did you have the heart to go this far?” I asked.I just kept thinking. Aren't Gerald and Zoey friends in Newton. What kind of deceit made Gerald this angry?"I released her from the brothel in Newton earlier," said Gerald, "I ransomed her a large sum of money. And you know what she did?”I was still silent, trying to process what Ger

191 | Deceit 2

I stood still in the room while Zoey was still crying. I didn't seem to want to believe everything Gerald said. Even so, what Gerald said was true. Gerald revealed what Zoey said to him was the same as what was said to me.That meant I might also be tricked by Zoey. After I redeem her, Zoey would leave me with my money. Gerald was lucky enough to see Zoey again.I turned around and watched Zoey. She was still crying not daring to see me."Tell me what Gerald said is not true," I asked Zoey.Zoey didn't say anything and continued to cry."It's all true, isn't it?" ask again."I'm sorry," Zoey said. "It's not everything like what you think.""You want to trick me!" I pointed at Zoey.Zoey just kept quiet and continued to cry."Stupid me," I said, "why do I always trust women so easily.""Trust me, Lang," Zoey pleaded, "not everything is like what Gerald says.""Then tell me how it really is," I said, "I don't

192 | A Warning

I still could not believe what I just found out. Apparently, Zoey was a deceiver as well as a drug addict. Stupidly I could be influenced by her seduction. She was smart enough to make me kneel before her. With her charming vocal technique, I was blind to everything.But now everything has been revealed. Even so, I still had a promise to get Zoey out of the brothel.Outside the Arynn House, Jack came in a hurry. He said he had just heard of a police officer abusing Zoey. I said to Jack if the cop was gone, and Zoey was alone."Is Zoey all right?" asked Jack."Yes," I said, "for sure she wants to be alone now and has no intention of seeing anyone.""Oh, all right," said Jack. "I'll call her later.""Good idea," I complimented.“Is it that bad?” asked Jack, worried about Zoey."No, I mean it's not as bad as you might think," I replied."Why does this happen?" asked Jack curiously."I can't tell you," I r

193 | Old Documents

"I like young people who study history, especially hospitals," said Ruth, "but I advise you to be prepared. Maybe you'll find something you shouldn't know."I got goosebumps as I listened to Ruth's warning. Even so, I kept walking towards the old maternity building that was being renovated.I don't know where to start myself, but the pile of documents caught my eye. At the CLOFUS Faculty of Letters, there is a course called Text and Discourse Analysis.This course discusses cohesion and discourse: reference, ellipsis, substitution, conjunction, lexical cohesion, metaphorical mode of expression, metaphors, metonymy, clausal interdependence, types of relationships, and examines and applies various approaches in discourse analysis for conversational analysis, transactional analysis, and critical discourse.In conclusion, the course seeks to understand the text. In this case, the text on the old document in the hospital. I wonder what the text looks like.

194 | Malique's Confession

JACK called me. He said it was our turn to visit Malique and his wife. It seems that my activities in the maternity building, which is being renovated should have to be finished, for the time being. I don't want to have bad thoughts that continue.I think that's enough of my interest in old hospital documents. To be sure, some of these old documents still use the old spelling and are still neatly and completely stored. Maybe one day, when everything is finished and it's time for me to write my thesis, I will come back here.Jack and I then went into a treatment room for two. Comfortable enough but not too luxurious. We say hello to Malique and his wife. Apparently, they just had a baby boy.Malique and his wife seemed pleased that I had come. Yeah, maybe because I just became a superstar. In fact, a few months earlier, I was still karaoke with him at Arynn House. Damn! It reminded me of Zoey, the impostor.We then talked about how Malique's wife gave birt

195 | The Truth about Julia

"ARE you guys done?" asked Jack, who suddenly appeared."Yes," I said as I stood up and prepared to leave.But before that, I walked over to the reception desk to return the GUEST card given by the maternity ward manager. While exchanging the ID card, my eyes caught a familiar name in the guest book.I focused my gaze again to make sure that the name I read was correct. Then I was shocked that I couldn't believe my eyes. I read it over and over again, the name and address listed in the guest book remained the same. The post was dated two days ago.JULIA – Certajava VID No. 49 – Goobank District.Julia went to the maternity clinic? What for? Could she be pregnant? Oh no! This can't be happening. There must be something wrong here. Two days ago, Julia did not go to campus. I didn't meet her at all.I started thinking about all the possibilities. I was sweating profusely while Malique and Jack were chatting. Okay. To be sure, I'll a

196 | Under the Cherry Tree

WITH feelings of sadness mixed with anger, I decided to wait for the proposal ceremony to end. I intended to ask Julia to explain why all this is happening.In the room, I thought of everything.I had a crush on Julia since I was in elementary school. So far, I had been quite happy with her, although there were no ties to the status of a couple. Now, I was sorry. I should have confessed my feelings to Julia a long time ago.And now, Julia had been proposed by someone else. That meant I will part with Julia soon. Julia would not be in Certajava, and no one will nag me anymore.Rock superstar status did not make me special in Julia's eyes. She treated me like a normal person. Julia just dumped me.Time seemed long while waiting for the night. I could not stay in the room and regret everything. But, at the same time, I was also not in the mood to do anything.I still remember the first time I started liking Julia. Even though she's a deaf woman

197 | Under the Cherry Tree 2

JULIA suddenly stopped crying and wiped her face from her tears. Julia straightened her chin as if steeling herself. She then saw the round moon shining brightly, then turned to me."Why do you want to know such a thing?" asked Julia in her sign language."I can't take it!" I replied in sign language."What can't you take?" asked Julia, "pregnancy or my proposal?""Both I can't," I replied, "you didn't tell me anything beforehand.""I've..." Julia stuttered and corrected her sentences, "I don't need your permission to marry someone."I fell silent, knowing Julia's words.Yes, I realized I wasn't someone she had to tell. Marriage was Julia's right. But, after everything I've been through with Julia, I couldn't accept that she is pregnant and will marry someone else.There was a short pause before Julia continued her sentence.“Besides, you think I don't know that you're messing with Amelia and that popular half-bloo

198 | The Dispute

"Let me go," said Julia, "it's for both of us.""How come?" ask.“Trust me,” Julia replied, “you won't lose me one bit. Neither will I lose you in the slightest.”Julia then left after saying that.There were many questions running through my mind. Julia didn't answer my questions. But she managed to convince me by accusing me of playing games with Amelia, Aisha, and Kacey.After Julia left, I still held on under the cherry tree. I took out my phone and sent a chat message to Amelia. I asked if she was free tonight.Amelia immediately replied, “Yes, I am free tonight. Would you like to take me out?”"Yes," I replied, "I will see you now.""Where are we going?" Amelia asked."Bacchanalia," I replied again."Okay, I'll get ready now," said Amelia.Amelia didn't realize that I knew Billy. Even though I still have bad feelings for her, I still want to be with Amelia. I return
