Childhood Match
What's? We're Dating???

Welcome to Akmil dormitory.

It's the first day of Lintang in the dorm. Everything looked perfect as he had wanted it all along. This is where the ideals of his life will begin.

He began to enter the room where he would stay for quite a long time. He saw a man his age tidying his clothes into a closet. It seems like he is a roommate of Lintang.

They shake.

"Hi..." Greet that man.

"Hi... Are you in this room too?" Tanya Latitude.

"Yes. I'm Arnold, from Jakarta." He introduced himself.

"I am Lintang, from Magelang alone." The latitude introduced itself.

"Oh... Good thing I'm a room with natives?" Said Arnold.

"I mean...?" Latitude doesn't understand what Arnold's saying.

"Sorry, Bro. I could just go to the same room as a cadet from Magelang. I am from Jakarta, I do not know about Magelang. Well if we room, at any time there is a holiday and I want to go for a walk do not need to bother looking for a tour guide if you want to travel around Magelang." Arnold Clearly.

"Oh.. that's it.. ready! Hopefully we can be solid partners." Latitude Speech.

They embraced and became an early symbol of friendship. While tidying up clothes and waiting for activities to start, the two were engrossed in chatting. Apparently the two men have the same chemistry, so it did not take long they already seem familiar.

Evening has arrived. Because it's the first day we got to the dorm, so there's no activity. Tomorrow morning, the real life in the world of military education will begin.

Latang immediately grabbed his phone. Call the name of the whatsapp contact,

"Dreams...

It didn't take long, immediately a voice that he always missed.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat... Mas Lintang... How are you?" Sapa Gendhis's.

"Waalaikumsalam.no, Dis... We just separated this morning, but it feels rich for a year." The voice of the latitude sounded.

Genphis just smiled.

"Mis smiling, said dong. if I miss that..." Latitude sulks.

"Yes. yeah..." Gendhis.

"Yes what?" The latitude asked.

"Iyaaaa.. yaaaa." Gendhis is not ashamed to admit.

"Well, ahirnya, I also heard that from you. Do I have to wait for me to get away from you first, and then I can hear the kangen words from my own fiance's mouth?" Tanya Latitude.

"Mas Latitude, there-there is... Oh, yes, my. What's the first day in the dorm?" Gendo wanted to know.

"Yaaa. seneng lah.. lahain you know, this is all my dream since childhood. Oh yeah, I'm rooming with cadets from Jakarta. Name's Arnold. His son is very happy, well..." Latitude.

"Oh, huh? Thank goodness, Mas. Hope you guys are good friends. Take care of your health... Take care of your heart for me, too..." Gendhis.

"That's for sure.you too, take good care of yourself. Yes, I'm glad I heard your voice. And maybe starting tomorrow, we'll rarely communicate. You rest yaa..." Latitude.

"Yes Mas. Good night..."

"Yaaa. good night."

The two of them had their conversation that night.

In School...

The first day of Gendhis's entry into the XI class. After the class break, it was the first time Gendhis had gone to school. With a new spirit, also a new atmosphere. Where should he start to get used to himself without the Latitude. Both at home and at school as it is today.

Because the first day there was no learning activity at school, Gendhis chose to visit the perpus to read books.

"Hay... It's..." Riko surprised Gendhis who was busy reading novels.

"Mas Riko? Not in class?" Genghis asked.

"There's no lesson yet, I've been to the bus." Answer Riko.

"Oh..." Genphis said nothing.

Riko suddenly sat down on a chair one table with Gendhis, so that he could freely look at the girl's face. It turned out that Riko was secretly following Genphis to the perpus room. He felt more free to approach Gendhis now, without any interference from the Latitude.

From the perpus door, Riko saw Trio Centil walking into the perpus room.

"God has only just begun, has been brought trouble. What are they going to do here? It's the only place they've never been to school. I'm sure they didn't come here to read a book." Riko said in her heart.

The Centil Trio looked to the right and left as if looking for prey. When they saw Riko sitting opposite Gendhis, they were like lions about to pounce on their prey. They walked closer to Gendhis.

"Heh. Why are you here?" Shevin said in a high tone.

Gendhis glanced to the right and made sure the owner of the voice was definitely Shevin.

"Again read... Didn't my sister see?" Gendhis said casually as he stared at his book back.

Instantly the speech made Shelly rise in blood and say,

"Hey you. if asked a polite answer!"

Gendo closed the book. He only realized why the three girls were like being on a beard fire, it turns out the source is Riko who was pretending to read a book in front of him.

"Sopan said Brother? If you want others to appreciate you, you should also be able to appreciate others." Kara Gendeis.

"Who do you think you are? Our sok lecture. You should have stayed... Oh. I know! Now you try to find a chance to get another guy, because your fiance is not here anymore. Aye right?" Shevin.

Gendhis was willing to indulge his emotions when he heard Shevin's words.

"I don't understand what Shevin said..."

"Here let me clear..." Shevin.

"You.. why are you alone with Riko here, if not for deketin him? You gatel chick." Shevin.

Riko who had just been silent, finally spoke up after hearing his name called.

"Shevin. watch your mouth! You should have read it, stopped deketin and followed me. You know why? Because me and Gendhis.now we..." Riko said dotted.

"We.. courtship! Come on, Dis. We're out." Riko said without sinning a bit. Putting the book he read on the table, then pulling Gendhis's hand out of the porous room.

"Whats... dating? Am I not wrong?" Lany and Shelly.

Shevin's face flushed red, his eyes bulging as if he wanted to come out after hearing Riko's words.

"Rikoooo...!!! Bulshit.. really you!" Shevin yells at Riko who walks out holding Gendhis hand.

All eyes were fixed on the three centil girls, making the atmosphere in the perpus become noisy.

"What's? Did you guys take a look around?" The visitors who witnessed the incident were simultaneously the target of Shevin's anger.

No one dared to answer Shevin's words. They prefer to read their books back rather than serving the attached grandmother. Only the porter tried to calm the mood.

"please calm! It's a perpus, not a canteen..." Officer perpus said.

The three girls finally came out of the bus. Outside the perpus, Shevin is still nagging.

"Eh.. guys. I don't want to yes, even to death I won't be willing if Riko breaks up from me and prefers the village girl."

"Yes, Shev..." Lany tried to calm her best friend.

"Swimming down how do you mean? So, I got to diem, sit up sweet, see them both way? That's what you mean?" Ask Shevin emotions.

"That's not what Lany means, Shev..." Shelly was calming.

"Oh... You also belain the village girl? Wonder me! You guys are really me what is he?" Shevin sewot's.

"Yes, obviously, we have you. Just.. We have to find a good way to keep Riko away with the village girl." Ksta Shelly's.

"Yes, what?" Shevin's impatient.

"Yes we must think first, don't be rash." Shelly.

"Tell me, Shev said Shelly. now mending us ngadem first in the cafeteria, while looking for ways how to get away from Riko village girl." Lany added.

After listening to the words of his two best friends, Shevin finally could be more tenant and left the library building.

"Lepasin, Mas Riko... What the hell is this? I don't want to, so more misunderstand. What did Mas Riko mean to say to them that we were dating?" Gendhis was furious as Riko forced her hand out of the porous room towards the back garden of the perpus.

Riko finally let go of Gendhis hand.

"I'm sorry, Dis. I just don't want them to talk all they want, what's so ugly about you. I think that talking like that can at least make them stop bothering you." Said Riko.

"Mas Riko's sober? By talking like that instead of solving problems, they will disturb me even more... Not to mention if there is a horror then they misunderstand? What else are they gonna talk about me? Gendhis betrayed his fiancee after his fiancee graduated from school. Is that what Mas Riko wants?" Gendo said a little angry.

"I'm sorry, Dis. I didn't mean it..." Riko could not continue his words.

"Here you go. All has happened. I hope that after this incident there will be no more serious problems. Excuse me..." Gendhis passes leaving Riko in the garden behind the perpus.

"Dis... Dis... Gendo..." Riko called out to him but was ignored.

Riko was running out of ways, how to conquer the heart of this one girl. There are many ways, but there are always obstacles. He decided not to give up until there. As long as Gendhis has not been edited in the press, that's as long as he will fight to get his heart.
