Childhood Match
Cinderella from the Top of Sumbing
Lintang is now busy showing off his intimacy with the beautiful girl who is beside him in front of his friends. Moreover, Lintang who is now officially a TNI soldier and just waiting for the inauguration for his new task. It was as if making the latitude bigger the head. No one asked who Gabby was, but it was as if they knew the relationship between them was close enough.
While everyone is busy talking about Latang's romance with Gabby, Riko suddenly comes to Gendhis like a prince in the Cinderella fairy tale. Riko came to Gendhis who at that time looked beautiful like Cinderella by using a maroon Muslim dress and a pink hijab and simple makeup but looks charming. Quickly and without any hesitation, Riko held onto Gendhis fingers so firmly that the girl found it difficult to let go of Riko's grasp, like he used to do when they were in the latrine.
Riko pulled out Gendhis hand as if unconcerned by the dozens of pairs of eyes that began to observe their existence. This made Gendhis filled with questions, actually what was the handsome man who was now starting to step on his feet.
"Mas Riko... Where are we going?" gendhis asked in a whisper.
"Udah. Just follow what I said!" riko orders as if Gendhis now still serves as the secretary of OSIS as before.
Riko walked slowly towards the front of the stage, then slowly he started to go up on stage with his left hand tightly grasping Gendhis right fingers. Finally, the two of them were right in the middle of the stage. Everyone present then looked at the scene before them, not least Latitude. He felt his heart start to get sultry looking at Riko's behavior.
Until that moment, Gendhis still did not understand what Riko wanted to do by involving himself as the center of attention of all the reunion participants. But in the end the puzzle was answered when the music began to stop and Riko held a loudspeaker in her right hand. He began to let go of the grasp of Gendhis's hand, but after that, he grabbed hold of Gendhis's left shoulder so that their positions stood side by side very close.
Gendhis had no idea what to do in the midst of the crowd with dozens of pairs of eyes staring at them. It was like running down from the stage. But Riko's left hand is quite strong coiled on his shoulder, ahirnya nothing can be done except to follow the game Riko. He just hopes that what Riko will do will not change the image of everyone against him into a negative image.
All the participants became silent, when suddenly Riko spoke through the mic that was in her right hand.
"Thank you for the time. We are standing here to give you a single song performance under the title "If" by Melly Goeslaw. Enjoy it" said Riko who was actually not quite sure of her standard voice. If Gendhis. She is a multi-talented girl, as in the past when the release of students Gendhis was appointed to present a song called "Bundown Back", do you remember? 🤔
The music of the school band began to flow making Gendhis inevitably follow Riko's words which enough to make his head feel dizzy.
🎼🎼🎼🎼
..."When you remember about you...
...Deep in the eyes close to the heart...
...Just thought about returning...
...Although different I will live...
...There is no intention of forever leaving...
...When you remember about you...
...Deep in the eyes close to the heart...
...Is the same I guess...
...Want to meet even if there is a reluctance...
...There is no intention to part with you...
...If I can still speak my mouth...
...The kind words you want to say...
...'I hear you and praise you to me...
...We are young in our search for decisions...
...I'm sorry I want to go back...
They managed to amaze everyone present. Moreover, their chemistry is really dapet as if they are the most romantic duet pair beating duo Anang-Ashanti.
Lintang's facial expression was already very sour at that time, as if not willing to be so close to his eternal rival. But what to say, this time he has lost the rights to Gendhis since he married Gabby.
The applause of the audience broke out making the sound in the hall even more boisterous. A moment later, Riko came back to surprise everyone. Suddenly with the mic still in her right hand, Riko said
"Thank you for this big round of applause. But more than that, the most important thing for both of us here is your do'a blessing for us because soon we will get engaged and get married!" said Riko simultaneously making a scene, it was done without gesturing to Gendhis first. Some clapped their hands to be happy, some were burning their hearts like Lintang and the Centil Trio.
Gendhis was shocked by Riko's words. Hearing the words fiancee and married, made her heart slashed because of a deep trauma due to her failure along with Lintang.
Riko turned to look at Gendhis with a very gentle gaze. He seems to know enough what Gendhis is going to do. Gendhis was still holding his loudspeaker and was about to close it to his sweet lips to straighten out Riko's words. He did not want to give any false information to everyone present there. So Gendhis wanted to be honest.
But before that happened, Riko immediately pulled out Gendhis hand, then stepped his foot so that he stood face to face with Gendhis so that their faces were very close, with Riko's index finger right on Gendhis's sweet lips, as if forbidding Gendhis to say a word. That made Gendhis unable to pucker up. Moreover, the position of Riko standing back to the audience under the stage, with a slightly bent body because his body was taller than Genphis. So if they look from behind, their position is like a couple kissing.
"Yeah..."
Everyone present was increasingly staring at Riko's reckless behavior. Especially latitude. She reflexively wants to walk up to the stage to stop Riko, but soon Gabby holds her hand.
"Lintang...Where are you going, dear? Just yesterday!" pinta Gabby's.
Lintang was not ready to go and stay in his position with a great feeling of arrogance in his heart. It is not out of thought why they can make friendly out in front of everyone? Since childhood they were betrothed, never once did Gendhis give him the opportunity to touch his face. His heart was getting hotter like fire inside the husk.
The incident was recorded in everyone's eyes for about a few minutes, so before long Gendhis suddenly ran down from the stage leaving Riko with everyone with their misunderstanding.
Gendhis walked quickly out of the hall room towards the side of the classroom, with a reddened face holding back anger at Riko for her attitude. Riko quickly caught up with Gendhis. He saw that Gendhis was sitting on the side chair of the classroom with both hands covering his face.
Guiltfully, Riko approached him and sat down beside Gendhis and said,
"Dis, sorry I...! I didn't mean to.." said Riko cut off.
"Enough, Mas.. free Mas Riko want to explain to me. It's no use! But what about those who already live with their wishful thinking in this misunderstanding? Is Mas Riko able, now also return to the hall and say that what Mas Riko said earlier was a lie? Also explain to everyone about the misunderstanding of Mas Riko's attitude earlier? Naw, right? So why would Mas Riko explain it to me?" gendhis was angry and wanted to leave. He walked to the parking lot and left before the event ended.
"Wait, Dis... Where are you going?" prevent Riko.
"I want to go home!" gendhis replied angrily while turning on his motor.
"Gendhis... wait!" prevent Riko Mamun from being ignored.
Finally he just let his girl go with his anger.
"Huffd..."
Riko took a deep breath. He also did not expect that his meeting with Gendhis after several years of not meeting would end like this.
"If you only knew, the reason why I did this. I would be angry with you, but I don't want Lintang to treat you unfairly in front of everyone." said Riko Lirih before he finally returned to the school hall.
But one important thing that Gendhis did not know, that Riko's attitude was really able to make Lintang die lice. And Riko was quite happy for that one thing.
