“Ja, know who is a footballer who weighs only 2 kg?” adnan asked Ezra who was eating pastel cakes with Tian.

Alka her best friend is currently gathering at the back of the school as usual after having had time to follow a math review. They all came out of the classroom with proud faces. Of course they are proud because they are sure the results will be good. Alka becomes the server where all their answers come from.

For Devan, he's still in London at the moment. He said that the guy would only return to Indonesia in two days, and of course with Aluna. Her boyfriend.

“Emang exists? Who, tuh?” curious Ezra asked.

“Bambang gas tube.”

“Somplak's ultimate symbol!” tell me from Ezra landing on a laughing Adnan.

The square houses in the back stalls of the school became the core gathering place of The Lion this time. There was Alka who played chess with Nice, Dimas who played ludo with Malik, and Arnold. While Ezra, Tian and Adnan are busy eating pastel cakes while playing guessing.

“Now I'm the one who guessed.” Tian blathering. “Face, what's big?”

“Body?” Tian shook his head at Ezra's reply.

“Head?” Tian shook his head again. This time to Adnan.

“What dong?” ask Adnan and Ezra together.

“Well, the cage is, beg0. Think about it if an elephant uses a small cage.” Tian answered without sin. That's what he did to Adnan and Ezra.

“Eh, no Meira, tuh!” tian's voice made them look at the border door of the school with the back stall. There, there was a girl with a pink bandana in her unraveling hair. The girl smiled sweetly towards them.

“Why don't I just love the same Mei? Her smile is real adem, njirr!” said Ezra suddenly. Then after realizing the guy with a white shirt without a school uniform was showing a grin at Alka who was looking at him sharply.

“Aduh, hampura Sire. Servant khilaf atuh.”

Alka turned her gaze from Ezra to Meira. While the others just laughed at Ezra.

“Lo, anyway. Tau himself guy fierce.” Adnan scoffed.

“Why come here alone?” the soft voice of Alka who asked Meira made them re-occupy themselves with their initial activities. It felt a little awkward hearing Alka pitched like that to Meira.

“Mau aja. Bosen in class, Repressed again, Bella still does not want to be better, May.” The girl's body moved as Alka pulled her slowly to sit next to the guy. Right next to Ezra who threw a grin at Meira and avenged the girl's thin smile.

“Bima again?”

Meira nodded while looking at the activities of Alka's friends.

“Kan has been said not to be near Bima.”

Looking at Alka, Meira then thaws. “But I'm the deket-deket Kak Bima. Some also want to go as far as how to stay decked. Kan, study friend.”

“Aduh, Meira .. Lo how is it, anyway? Lo rigid guy kayak kanebo dry is also not less pinter than the brunette Bima. Why have a pinter guy if not lo ggunain,” chirps Good suddenly. Although the man's gaze focused on the chessboard before him, his ears still caught up to Alka and Meira's conversation.

Alka shone a sharp glare at Bagus, while Meira stared at Alka at a glance then laughed. “Which I do not focus if taught the same brother Alka, Kak Bagus.”

“Yes too, anyway. But is there nothing but Bima?”

Meira shook her head in response to Bagus. The girl then dives her head in search of someone who does not appear to be the trunk of her nose. “Kak Devan has not returned, well?” tanyakanya.

“Belom. The boy is still loyal in London with his girl. Again honeymoon times.” They laughed in response to Good, only Alka chuckled small.

“My retires, all already on bucin. The same boss Meira if it's tacky for my single soul thrashing. Devan if you have gone down the road Aluna use lambor latest output for my soul mate vibrates. Dimas if you have already menegombalin Freya for all the contents of the stomach I want out!” cerca Ezra is long after sipping mineral water.

“Angiran aja jatohannya to the ugly-ugly!” sahut Dimas grievous not accept.

Ezra chuckles. “What is my day that is just a coolie building.” Ezra's face dramatized until he got back to Tian.

“Degree building, porters building! Bokap lo famous architect, anjirr! Almost all buildings here bokap lo!” design tukas Tian.

Ezra laughed a little. “Aing forgot,” the grin.

Those who were initially joking with each other suddenly stopped when Alka suddenly descended from the square houses after getting a message out of who. “Gus, anterin Meira home. I have business.” After getting a thumbs up from Bagus, Alka looked at Meira who was also looking at her curiously.

“What business is it?” ask the girl.

Meira walks out of the library. The young blue backpacked girl had just finished the punishment Ratna's mother gave her. His carelessness that fell asleep during the school hours of Ratna made him have to clean the class alone and then return the stack of package books to the library.

The clouds out there look black. Signs it's gonna rain in a minute. Meira sighed while holding both straps of her backpack. His limbs were walking down a corridor that was already very quiet. Remembering she was going home with Good today somehow made her sad. Especially when he sensed something was different from Alka, the guy seemed to avoid Meira's question.

Along with the water droplets slowly descending upon the earth, Meira's steps came to a halt. His knees suddenly went limp with his heart tight. The scene in front of him was very unpleasant to look at. From this he could see clearly, how Alka and Bianca were hugging each other with crying Bianca.

Meira's two hands that were initially holding the backpack strap slowly fell on each side of her thigh. The two tiny hands were clenched with eyes that were starting to heat up. Especially when Alka's burly hand gently stroked Bianca's chocolate mane. The two were not a distance away at all when viewed from the side where Meira was standing at the moment.

“I love you, Al. Don't stay with me.”

“Gue is also dear lo, Bianca. I can't stay in Lo.”

One second after Alka said that with her trademark heavy voice, Meira's tears shed on the girl's cheeks.

His eyes shone in disbelief at Alka. He roughly wiped away his tears, hoping that this was just a hallucination or at least his vision was being disrupted. But upon hearing Bianca's stuffing, Meira was convinced it was real.

When Alka's eyes were accidentally fixed on her, the boy's eyes were rounded. Meira shook her head in disbelief then turned towards the field so as not to pass in the corridor where the two people were hugging. Meira doesn't care about her uniform and her books will get wet with this choice.

Seeing that Alka quickly pushed slowly Bianca's body then ran after Meira. That girl must have misunderstood what she saw.

“Meira wait!”

Meira kept running regardless of Alka who was shouting somewhat her voice overcame the sound of rain. For the first time, Meira cursed the school field so wide that it felt to reach the parking lot took hours.

The pull in her hand made Meira stop. His body was forced to turn around with Alka's hands moving to hold her shoulders. “Lo misunderstood, May.”

Roughly, Meira lowered Alka's hand from her shoulder. His flowing tears need not be hard to remove, because everything has been united with the rain. Good, very good, the moment where the rain fell at this time is very fitting.

“Shoppers!”

One word that came out of Meira's mouth made Alka fixated on staring at this girl in front of her. Alka knew Meira was crying, the flushed nose of the girl could not lie when Meira was crying.

“If you still love Bianca, why are you dating me? Just want to make me an impingement so I can escape him? Yes?!” meira's voice jolted Alka, the boy was about to raise his hand to wipe Meira's tears but the girl first threw out his hand.

“Lo misunderstood, May. What you see and hear is not what you think.” The soft voice almost made Meira melt if she did not quickly strengthen her heart. This time Meira can't be broken. He had already given up a lot with Alka, he had already shed a lot with all the man's behavior. Meira has to prove, that she also has self-esteem.

Meira chuckles discordantly. “Aren't as I thought? Do you know what I think?” with the sarcasm. Really, this was the first time Meira said in such a tone to Alka.

Seeing the disappointed look from those reddened eyes made Alka's heart flinch. “Gue can be clearin, May. Bianca was --”

“Alaah .., let's go! I mean, I mean nothing to Big Brother, right? All this time I've been fighting for Brother. Only I know what it's like to be rejected so many times and scolded a thousand times! People like Which brother knows what!” is he laughed before turning around to leave.

“Dengerin first, Meira! Lo don't childish gini, don't cut my speech!” Alka held the girl back from leaving. The rain that was a witness to their quarrel also seemed to support it until it hit the earth more violently.

Hearing the childish words from Alka's mouth made Meira again chuckle and then pull her hand from Alka.

“Iya! I'm childish, that's why my feelings are never appreciated, right? I was childish until Big Brother never cared how I felt all along. I'm close to another guy Brother is angry. The turn that lasainin is Brother himself, Brother even did not realize that there is a heart that should be guarded by Brother!”

Sighing, Alka rubbed her face in frustration. “Lo is silent? Let me clear first! This is endless if you have a small problem, May!”

Meira stared at this tall guy in white uniform before her. Isn't Alka also often exaggerating the problem?

“No need to explain, I'm self-conscious, really. I'm back with Bianca. He deserves more for Big Brother than Ak-”

Meira's speech no longer continued as Alka's left hand grabbed her waist and the man's right hand pushed her nape forward. A warm sigh and something cold swept across the surface of Meira's face and lips.

Alka kissed his lips.

“Sorry, but it's the only way to stopin lo.”
