The arrogant-looking Tamara finally lowered her overpriced self-esteem. He said he wanted to be my friend, my best friend. Finally I who for days had no friends, now all eyes are on me. I'm the new kid who dares to break down the gang leader at school into all the big-sister talk. But calm down, my teacher didn't know that, they just knew I was a sweet and polite boy.
After almost half a day at school, it was finally time to go back to the dormitory. At 13:30 AM local time, I started walking. I felt sorry for myself, when all my friends were riding in their own vehicles, I was walking alone.
From a distance there was the sound of a motorbike approaching, heard the driver calling my name. Maybe there was something left at school, I thought. When the motorbike approached, it turned out that he was a popular boy in school, from among the brothers and sisters of the class chasing after him, like a prince right?.
" Cece, with me yuk?, I'm on my own." he asked. I didn't expect him to be the prince of the school taking me home together.
" It's not your way home, why go this way?." I asked him back. His house was close to school, not a kilo. But he chose a further path, didn't it feel strange if I wasn't the one who would be the reason he came home late so as not to be scolded by his mother.
" I want to go this way, go to Ni'am's place of residence, so all of you, you walk." he explained. All right, I thought, just for once, right?, after all, he's my classmate. I also started riding his motorcycle he was greeted by the cry of a hysterical child.
Wuuuuu, ciyeeeeeeeee. Shouted them all with alay. And also greeted with a snide glance by Venny, my upperclassman. Dinan ignored, he began to advance his bike at medium speed.His name was Ferdinan, but I called him Dinan. A special name only I can call him that.
Dinan, as did Surya. He is famous among girls and among teachers. He is a favorite student who is smart and obedient, only he sometimes rebels more often during the last hour of school. All students know that the last hour is the most painful time. But the last hour didn't get him in the law, he always got away with all the penalties. He's great, all the women there want him.
We both walked the long road in silence. He didn't get to greet me more because he focused on the streets, and I was embarrassed to say hello. Just to hold his clothes so as not to fall embarrassed, let alone greet the snail prince. Until I was in the T-junction next to the dormitory I told Dinan to stop the bike, I was afraid Mr. Alung would be angry if he found out I was getting home from Dinan.
" Dinan, stop here, yes, I am afraid of being punished if caught coming home delivered by you. "I said with a pura of fear. So that he was sure, what else if I really was caught by Mr. Alung, not that I ran out in cheap katain later. Dinan immediately agreed to what I told him, he didn't want me to be punished for it, it would become a longer matter.
I began to walk away from him after getting off the bike, Dinan who kept looking at me from a distance I did not mind, so as not to make suspicion on Mr. Alung. When I was in the middle of the gate, Dinan started the motor and left. I continued walking without realizing that the security guard from a distance saw me while delivering Eza back to the dormitory. Indeed, ever since I started in the dorm he always watched me, sometimes he greeted me when I was at the gate when school came home.
" Mr Inoot, one serving of ama esteh, bring it to the room! " my shout made my brother's friend stop for a moment from eating and start to continue again. Not to forget after my brother and his friends left, I ordered one more serving for Mr. Alung. She must have thought I was coming home from school with rice, so I bought her a bag. I spent my advice with Mr. Alung after Friday prayers were carried out, he and I always ate at the mosque together.
My brother was upset when I started getting close to Mr. Alung. According to my brother, Mr. Alung was the one who kept me away from my brother, even my family felt the difference in my attitude slowly. My father also became angry because I rarely tell them, until my stepmother came to talk to me so that I pay more attention to my parents, both papa and mama. But all they told me was to go in the right ear and out the left ear.
After Friday prayers, I got a call from Millah, a close friend of Dinan and also a close friend of mine. He told me that there was group work, I had to follow them so I could score. I asked my sister for money to save me while doing chores. I told Mila I didn't have a bike, and she offered to pick me up.
I'm allowed to go to the bunker, of course, to Mr. Alung, because all he's the only one who gives the decision in the dorm.
" Mr. Alung, I want the kankol permission. "I said briefly, but he interpreted it wrong.
" You want to play or what Ce?. "he asked cautiously, but I kept convincing him that I was just an ordinary cricketer. He had told me not to go to the cart just to accompany him, but I told him that I would not get value if I did not follow the collar. With a heavy heart Mr. Alung wants me to go with Millah.
I began to suspect Millah, why did he bring Dinan's motorbike to pick me up the collar, did I team up with Dinan?. I was afraid that I would be humiliated by Dinan because of my poor math score. I kept asking Millah where we were going. But Millah just answered we'll be there soon. I just kept quiet looking at Millah's behavior while taking me to a place I never reached at all.
" You're sure Mil took me to this place, this is the middle of the forest you know!?". "manyoo little wonder. But Millah who was just silent made me spontaneously pinch her hip.
" What the hell is Ce, rece times you know, we want to go to my house, Dinan and Fanny in my house." explains Millah who makes my heart a little relieved. At least he gave me an answer.
