Childhood Match
Sweet Fruit Honesty

This morning, as usual Gendhis began to carry out his routine. After the morning prayers at the mosque with his parents, he hurried to complete the housework. After that, get ready to go to school. He hoped, this time Lintang's anger had already begun to subside.

Gendhis looked neat, everything was ready, just waiting for Lintang to come pick him up.

Ten minutes passed, but Lintang had not yet approached him. Gendhis began to panic if they were late for school. Then he decided to approach Lintang to his house. When he was about to leave the door of the house, Ms. Party had stopped him from meeting Gendhis.

"Mother... " Sapa Bu Party

"Yes, ma'am.. Baru Gendhis wants to go there, followed by Mas Lintang, it's almost seven but Mas Lintang has not come." Gendhis.

"That's the one you want to say to me. It looks like you have to go to school by yourself today." Said Bu Parti.

"Mas latitude doesn't go to school?" Ask Gendhis.

"Yes, Nduk... Latitude fever from last night. Her body is hot, so I told her to rest at home first. You're not papa, are you? Let's leave later accompanied by Pakne Lintang." Obviously Miss Party.

"Oh, no, ma'am... Let Gendhis go on his own motorcycle." Gendhis refused.

In his heart he was worried to hear from Bu Parti that Lintang was sick.

"Now what's the Latitude, Mom?" Genghis asked.

"Then I was still sleeping." Said Bu Parti.

"Can Gendhis see him?" Gendo asked permission.

"Of course, Nduk.. Come on...!" Bring the Party Bu.

They're walking towards Mr. Argo's house. While on the way, right in the courtyard of the house, Gendhis spoke to Miss Party.

"Mom... Genphis is sorry, huh? It must be because Gendhis Mas Lintang is like that." Gendhis face looked grim.

Miss Party came to a halt and patted Gendhis on the face gently as she said,

"No papa Darling, the name of the problem can certainly come at any time and at anyone. But I believe you can get through this." Bu Parti gives spirit.

"Bu Party, aren't you angry?" Ask Gendhis.

"Why should you be angry? Relationships are common, the important thing is that there is still love in your heart. During that time, you will be able to overcome any obstacle, until the moment we are most waiting for will arrive." Wisely Bu Parti advised Gendhis.

"Thank you, Miss Party. Only I can best understand Gendhis grief." Gendhis hugged the woman as if he was hugging his own biological mother.

Madam Party patted Gendhis on the back as if she wanted to strengthen him.

"It's already noon, you're late." Said Bu Parti.

Genphis took off her embrace. He thought that since the incident in Silancur at that time made everyone angry with him, not least Miss Party. It turns out that Gendhis was wrong.

Arriving at Lintang's room, Miss Parti and Gendhis saw Lintang still asleep with a thick blanket covering her body.

"Do you need to wake up Lintang, Nduk?" Ask Bu Party.

"Oh, no, ma'am. Poor Mas Lintang. Let him rest. I'm leaving right away, ma'am, scared late..." Gendhis said goodbye while kissing the hand of Miss Party.

"Yes already..ati-ati ya Nduk!" Message from Bu Party.

Gendhis immediately got out of Mr. Argo's house, took his motorbike and immediately left for school.

While in the room, Lintang who was pretending to be asleep finally opened his eyes. He looked out the window, Genphis was gone. Then she sat on her bed. He still refused to talk to Gendhis.

One hour later, Miss Party came in to Lintang.

"Crosses. remember. Just this one time, I lied to Gendhis. It's you who mean mother." Said Bu Parti.

"Yes. yeah... Mum..." Reply to Lintang while getting out of bed.

"You are adults, if you have a problem mbok ya talked about well to, Nang...! Not even shutting yourself up like this. How long do you want to be treated like this?" Ms. Party advised her son.

Not long ago they were conversing, suddenly a voice came from the front door, and,

"Tok... tok."

Door knocked.

"Assalamu'alaikum..." The voices call out.

From inside the room, Lintang and Bu Party were still observing the sound.

"There's a guest, ma'am..." Latitude.

"Yes, but who's here at this time of the visit, people here will definitely be in the fields. His voice looks like Gende. Is Gendhis home? " Mum Party is curious.

"Ah.. it is not possible that Ma'am, a Latitude person who saw Gendhis had left using his motorbike." Answer Latitude.

The voice called again because it had not received an answer,

"Assalamu'alaikum... Mum..."

"Waalaikum... Yeah.a minute." Replied Miss Party while walking from the room to the entrance of the house.

Miss Party opened the door, she was surprised to see that a girl of the age of Gendhis was standing straight at the door of her house. Even the girl was still in OSIS uniform complete with shoes and a backpack.

"Good Morning, Mom. I'm Tina, temen Gendhis." The girl introduced herself.

"Oh... his friend Gendhis, let's go in!" Welcome to the Party.

Tina was sitting in the living room chair together with Miss Party.

Ms. Party was amazed, what had happened to Gendhis so that when school hours his friend came home. Soon he might find out.

"Son, what's wrong? You're not in school?" Ask Bu Party.

"Emmm... Is there a latitude, Mom?" Ask Tina.

"Some, it's resting in her room." Answer Miss Party.

"May I speak with Kak Lintang for a moment?" Tina asked again without answering the question that Miss Party asked.

"May.. Mom call Lintang for a moment." Replied Miss Party while walking towards the room of Lintang.

"Thank you, Mom..." Tina Yoke.

In the room, Lintang was still sitting on a chair while playing mobile phone. The party ma'am approached him and said,

"The cross is looking for you, Nang..."

"Search Latitude? Who, Mom?" Latitude curious.

"Girl, said a friend of Gendhis, whose name was, I forgot Ti... Ti's... Whose town is it..." The party seemed to think.

"Tina means?" Latitude guess.

"Yes... Tina's. He said he'd meet you." Said Bu Parti.

"Well, Tina's coming at this hour? Wasn't Gendhis told? Ah... tell me Lintang is sleeping, ma'am..." Pinta Lintang to her mother.

"That's not okay, the guest should be well welcomed. Let's ask her the same question, what does she mean to look for you for!" Force Bu Parti while pulling her son's hand.

Arriving at the living room, they saw Tina sitting restlessly.

"Tina's? What the hell are you coming here for? You're not in school?" Same question as Miss Party.

"It was school..." Tina was a little afraid to talk.

"Then? Why is it here now?" The latitude still doesn't understand.

Tina was silent for a moment, then started talking.

"Mothers... Kak Lintang.. I want to talk to Mother also Kak Lintang, but before. Because I'm guilty..." Tina regrets.

"Son... What do you want to say? I haven't apologized yet..." Said Bu Parti astonished.

"So, I've been to school. I saw Gendish coming alone. I thought that today Kak Lintang would not go to school. I kept deciding to come here and it turned out to be true, Kak Lintang is home." Tina.

"Then you don't go to school, son?" Madam Party asked.

"Yes, Mom. Because if not now, I'm afraid I can't meet with Mom and Kak Lintang." Answer Tina.

"Oh Allah..., son...What do you want to say? Now we're here..." Madam Party is still curious.

Tina Ahirnya speaking.

"Mother, Sis Lintang, Tina wants to apologize about the incident in Silancur yesterday."

Not finished Tina spoke, Lintang has been hunted cut Tina's words.

"Well... I guessed it. You're here at Gendhis's request. It's no use, I want to sleep..." Lintang got up from his seat and wanted to leave, but Bu Parti immediately prevented him.

"Eh... Lintang...wait a minute! Dengerin first! Tina's not done talking. What's wrong with you talking to him first! Don't be selfish..." Bu Parti scolded her bachelor son.

Lintang finally wanted to listen to Tina's words and then sat back down.

"Continue talking, son..." Pinta Bu Party.

Tina recounted the true events of the time in Silancur. Starting from the moment Riko asked for his help to talk to Gendhis, the reason why Gendhis could be at the top alone, to the Latitude that suddenly came and they fought.

"Once Brother, the real incident. Genphis is innocent. Don't be mad at him anymore. He doesn't even know that I'm here now. I just want to fix the problem. Poor Gendhis. It's been a glum day in class. I was wrong..." Tina deeply regretted her actions.

Lintangnya felt guilty for the misunderstanding that had occurred so far to Gendhis.

"Well... What did you say? You never even gave Gendhis a chance to talk." Said Bu Parti to her son.

"Why didn't you talk from the beginning, Tin?" Tanya Latitude.

"I was going to talk, but I was afraid that Genphis would get angry, and I was also looking for the right time, so that Genthis would apologize to me." Answer Tina.

"Yes already, son. What matters is that you speak honestly. And now everything is clear. Gendhis business. I know exactly, the boy can't possibly be angry with the people he loves." Said Bu Parti.

"Really, Mom? Thank God, I am relieved Mom, after telling me this problem with Mother and Sister Lintang. Thank you. I say goodbye first." Tina.

"Yeah...! Now you want to go back to school again?" Ask Bu Party.

"He. he. not ah ma'am, it's too late. I want to go straight home. Excuse me, ma'am.., Kak Lintang." Pamit Tina at Latang then kissed Ms. Parti's right hand.

"Yes, be careful, son!" Message from Bu Party.

"Good, Mom. Assalamu'alaikum..." Tina left the Lintang house.

"Goddessalam..." Reply both.

Bu Parti was relieved, the end of her belief in Gendhis has been proven.

"Cross... I don't want to know, anyway.you have to apologize to Gendhis." Ms. Party went into the kitchen to prepare for cooking.

Lintang was just speechless, it could be guessed, that word would definitely come out of his mother's mouth.

"Mothers... Mom... Mother. What latitude is Gendhis, anyway? Wonder.. i." He speaks for himself.

Lintang relieved, it turns out that Gendhis still loves him. Gendhis was loyal to him, and Gendhis never betrayed him.
