La Hora
LH - 23 - Teen Party

-◈◈◈-

Tonight, Shica and Raihan come to school to attend an IPS tenth-grade art party. Raihan wore a black shirt that made him look more handsome, while Shica wore a knee-length white low-back dress.

They look harmonious.

Raihan clasped Shica's hand into his hand, as if Shica was going to leave, if not do that.

Everyone who saw that looked envious. Moreover, Raihan is a basketball captain who is liked by many girls.

Raihan and Shica looked at each other and threw smiles at each other.

Then everyone's gaze was fixed on the beautiful girl who was with Rangga, was that girl Rangga's lover?

They look romantic.

No one recognized him, and they only realized it was Meishy.

The glasses girl who now took off her glasses. Meishy wears bright blue softlens. The navy-colored long dress that the girl wore looked perfect. Hair that is usually braided in two is now allowed to break down in length.

All the girls were getting jealous of her appearance.

Actually Meishy is not confident if you have to wear make-up and clothes like that, but Shica who forced her.

A few hours ago at Shica's house,

Meishy was in a daze when her mother Shica told the fairies to dress the two girls.

"Tante, Meis doesn't have to wear makeup, yaa." The girl was glaring at Ratna.

Shica shook Meishy's arm, "You must be beautiful tonight."

"But I'm not...." Meishy did not continue her words, as Ratna rubbed the girl's shoulder.

"Tante has given Meishy clothes, Meishy doesn't want to wear them." Ratna spoke while showing a sad expression.

Finally, with various compulsions, Meishy was willing to.

When Meishy was about to put on her glasses, Shica held her best friend's hand.

"Don't wear those glasses anymore" Shica said. Meishy looked at Shica, "But, I can't see clearly. At this distance, I can't see you clearly either."

Shica picked up the bright blue contact lenses, "I'll put the eye lenses on for you."

Shica paired it painstakingly.

Meishy blinked and looked in the mirror. Both her eyes were rounded looking at the natural makeup that was fitting on her face.

Shica smiled, "Beautiful, right?"

Meishy smiled wryly, "Thank you, Shica, Aunt Ratna, and the fairy sisters."

Shica smiled.

At the party, at the,

Meishy was a little nervous, moreover all eyes were now on her. Usually Meishy cuek when someone sees him or her making a speech or race in front of a lot of people.

But this time the story is different.

Rangga clenched his hand to Meishy, making Meishy even more nervous.

On that night, the IPA and IPS tenth graders seemed to mingle and have fun together.

As the host of the party, countless appearances were shown by the IPS children. They also provide opportunities to IPS children who want to show their artistic talent.

Meishy pats Shica's arm, "You show her your singing talent."

However, the girl shook her head. Rangga and Raihan must come and force her.

"I haven't sung in a long time" whispered Shica. Floryn clasped Shica's hand, "It's okay, come on."

As Shica stood among her 10th grade friends, she felt nervous. While in Junior High, he wasn't that nervous.

It takes a few minutes to master itself. Floryn understands Shica's situation. He takes the mic and talks to give Shica time.

"Hello everyone, we've seen the hidden talents of our colleagues, the IPS class, and tonight, we're going to listen to someone's voice." Foryn rubbed Shica's shoulder.

Raihan and Meishy looked seriously at Shica up ahead. The atmosphere became silent, seemingly everyone was curious about the voice of the younger brother of their school's male captains.

Music begins to control silence. Everyone was dissolved into that silent groove.

Shica began to sing, her soft voice sounding beautiful and calm. Everyone applauded.

Raihan was fascinated by the girl's charm. Shica looks so beautiful there, as well as her voice. Meishy and Rangga also gawked. Floryn did not stop clapping he also looked so fond of the sad song performed by Shica.

Shica, the girl who often won solo races in Junior High and painting competitions, showed her talent in High School. Even in High School he hides his talent.

He currently chooses Anji's song, titled Dia. At the time, the song was very popular. Shica sang the song in her own way, but it was still beautiful to hear.

Not only was it nice to hear, the song also meant a lot to Shica. Not only did Raihan look at Shica and enjoy her voice, he also listened to her lyrics seriously.

It's no coincidence or what, but Shica sings a song that feels right with Raihan's current feelings.

The man can't lie anymore, he does love Shica. He loved that girl very much.

But, he also loved Rayaa. He has been stuck into his own target. The mission is to make Shica love herself, but she falls in love with Shica.

Are you still going to lie to yourself, Raihan?

Shica has finished the song. Everyone applauded passionately for Shica.

The girl looked blushed.

Meishy hugged him, "You look so good, my best friend."

Shica smiled and returned Meishy's embrace.

"You want a drink? I'll get it" said Rangga.

Meishy and Shica nodded. Rangga and Raihan passed to take the juice.

Shica and Meishy see the next singer. A man approached Shica.

"Hello, can I talk?" Ask the man who turned out to be Argaa.

Meishy held Shica's hand against coming with me.

"Just for a minute" said Argaa. Shica nodded, "Here alone."

Argaa turned to Meishy who looked suspiciously at her. Argaa smiled to relieve the awkwardness.

"I'm fascinated by your voice" said Argaa.

Shica smiled stiffly, "Thank you."

"Whose brother?" Meishy chimed in by asking questions.

"You're getting acquainted?" Argaa extended her hand to Meishy.

The girl received Argaa's hand.

"My name is Argaa, I went to Jaya Citra High School. It just so happens that there's my sister here who invites me to come" Argaa lied.

"But, this is a party for 10th grade only, it seems that this Big Brother is 11th grade, or 12th grade." Meishy looked suspicious.

Argaa Hanta smiled, "I told you, I came because my sister is here."

Shica gave Meishy the code so she wouldn't ask more questions. Argaa looked around.

"All right, I'll see you next time." Without waiting for an answer from Shica and Meishy, the man passed by.

Shica seemed to think.

Raihan has returned with Rangga, they bring juice to their respective lovers.

Raihan took Shica to sit down. They drank that juice.

Raihan stared fixedly at Shica, "You have a good voice, Shica."

"Thank you, Raihan."

Silent.

Suddenly Shica melted her head into Raihan's chest. The man embraced Shica.

"I know, Raihan."

Shica's words made Raihan quite surprised. The man began to worry.

"I know your problem with Brother Regar."

Raihan swallowed the saliva, is it time for me to take you, Shica?

"What problem?" Raihan was still trying to calm his mind.

"Sir Rear never hurt Rayaa," said Shica. Raihan's hand moved closer to Shica's neck.

If the girl finds out with her plan, Raihan must make her faint and take her away as planned first.

"I don't know what to say, but I'm really sorry. If you want, I'll come to Raya and apologize directly to her."

Raihan's heart trembled at Shica's words. His hand changed to gently rub the girl's hair.

"Sister Rama."

Raihan rolled his eyeballs, actually Rama also did not know what his brother had done.

"You don't have to apologize, it's not your fault. The highway could not be found. If you talk about it, he'll be sad again."

Shica grimaced in her heart, you to the point of knowing her condition. You still love her. I know, Raihan.

-

Shica has arrived at her house. There was no one at home, indicating everyone was out.

The clock shows at 11 p.m. Shica entered her room and called someone.

"Hello, Shica?" The voice of the man from across there.

"How, Vita? Found anything about Raihan?" Tanya Shica looked serious.

There, Vita was looking at her laptop. The girl is a friend of Rama while in Junior High who is also a school with Raihan.

"Raihan is no longer a member of the Januaar gang. It seems that he is now an ordinary student. There was no connection between Raihan and Rayaa from then until now."

Shica listened seriously, "Do you know anything about Raihan and Regar's problem?"

"I don't know for sure, because SMP Bunga Indah closes certain problems if the problem can embarrass the good name of the school."

Shica nodded, it looks like this is a serious matter. Should I look for her too?

"Shya?"

The girl nodded, "I-iya?"

"So far, that's all I can give you. If there's any additional information, I'll let you know."

"Thank you."

At least Shica has gained certainty, if Raihan does not have any relationship with Rayaa.

His heart was a little relieved.

-

The next day, Ridan invites Shica and Rama to attend a dinner at her co-worker's house.

The Gustiar family home.

Adam Hermano Gustiar, owner of Gustiar company welcomed them well, as well as Sarah Gustiar, his wife.

Reportedly, the wealthy businessman had just returned from New York.

They have two children, the first is Svender, it seems that he is the same age as Regar, the second is Shaquellin, it seems to be the same age as Rama.

They both have strong caucasian physical features. Both of them showed no friendship. They tend to be cold and do not talk much.

Adam and Sarah are actively talking with Ridan.

"Your sons are very handsome and beautiful" said Ridan. Adam smiled, "Your sons are also so charming. They are so sweet when they smile."

Ridan laughs.

"How are things in New York?" Ask Ridan.

"If you're talking about my company, he's fine" Adam joked.

Ridan also laughed, "I heard your sons went to school there. How is the education system in that place?"

Adam was silent for a moment, but he said again, "Very good."

"I want my oldest son to go to college there" said Ridan. Sarah responded, "That's great, kids will be independent if they're there."

Rama and Shica looked at each other.

After dinner, Adam and Ridan tell their children to talk.

Shaquellin takes Shica to his room.

Shica is stunned to see Shaquellin's room dominated by pink. Shica smiled, as she also liked the color.

"You went to Hardiswara High School, huh?" Ask Shaquellin.

Shica turned to the girl then nodded her head.

"Do you know Givarel?" Ask Shaquellin.

Shica nodded, "Sister Givar is my brother's friend."

"He's my friend too." Shaquellin smiled beautifully.

Shica noticed Shaquellin the day before, the first time she saw the girl's smile.

Shica also smiled, "So, yaa."

Shaquellin nodded, "We were friends since childhood, but papa took me away to New York, and we parted ways."

Shica rubbed Shaquellin's back, "If you want, my brother will bring you together."

Shaquellin turned to Shica, "Did he get more handsome?"

Shica seemed to think then nodded, "Yes."

Shaquellin laughed, "Little time, he was so ugly."

Shica laughed, "Times, anyway?"

Shaquellin nodded seriously, "He's really ugly and likes bedwetting."

Shica did not expect, handsome men and as cool as Givar had a slovenly childhood.

"Oh yes, I heard the Mahali family has a long name. May I know your name?" Ask Shaquellin.

"My name is Rastarani Primantari Savannah Riandhini Dharma Wijaya Kusuma Mahali."

Shaquellin swerved, "That long? Was your birth certificate written like that?"

Shica shook her head, "He's a state letter, my name is just Rastarani Mahali."

Shaquellin seemed to think.

Shica added, "There's another letter in the Mahali family that says the full names of their grandchildren."

Shaquellin nodded in understanding, "Your mother's father's name is also long?"

Shica seemed to think, "Yeah, but I don't remember their long names."

Shaquellin nodded, "Your brother's name?"

"My eldest brother, Regarian Pripasha Amega Riananda Dharma Wijaya Kusuma Mahali. While my second brother, Ramadiaz Prasega Adibhrata Rivaaldi Dharma Wijaya Kusuma Mahali."

Shaquellin sighed softly, "You're really a good sister, able to remember names all along.

Shica laughs.

Meanwhile, Rama and Sven did not say much. They were just sitting next to each other in Sven's room. Both focus on TV.

There are no interesting events, only ads. Rama felt very awkward in such circumstances.

He thought of a question that could be a clumsiness-breaker.

"Emm, like basketball?" Rama tried to melt the atmosphere. Because he is not a person who likes to be silent when there are others beside him.

Sven turned his head for a moment, "In my school there's no basketball."

Rama had asked this wrongly. He chose not to ask again.

"In High School I only study economics and lessons related to companies" Sven continued.

Rama nodded in understanding, "That's good."

Again Sven turned to him, "Nothing good, it's boring."

Again Rama felt wrong to have said so.

"I'd rather drive a car at high speed" Sven said.

Rama was surprised, "You're a racer?"

Sven pressed his shoulders. It was ambiguous for Rama, so he again asked.

"Do you have a race plan?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Rama was very excited to discuss the race, "On the circuit?"

"On the street."

Rama was confused, "When?"

"Ask the author."
