Love Story Schoolboy
13

"Do I have to give up on fraternity?" that question always pops up in Gio's brain.

Gio became upset because of it. At home, he just locked himself in his room. Even though he's still chatting with Vanka. But Gio's heart was riled up, what steps he would take.

Ines felt strange about the behavior of his youngest son. She ventured to see what her son was doing in the room. Why since I got home from school. Gio had not come out of his room at all.

Tok tok tok tok

After knocking on the door three times. From inside the room Gio's voice boomed. "Get in!!"

Ines opens Gio's room door. Ines felt relieved because it turns out his son did not do anything that is not-no. Just lazing on the sofa while looking at the phone.

"Why ma?" asked Gio who had turned his head and saw his mother in front of the door of his room.

"Not what sayank. Mama's just worried, you're not coming home to eat, or what. Mama is worried." Ines sat next to his son.

"You have a problem? Same story mom!" ines asked as he grabbed his son's hand.

Gio speechless. His eyes looked ahead, out the window. From there, Gio could see the blue sky stretching out. Gio's room is on the 3rd floor.

"Why the hell? You fought with your girl at the time, what was her name?" ask Ines again.

"Vanka ma,"

"Oh yes Vanka. You guys quarreling?" ask Ines back.

"No ma, I was just thinking about Defan, but he was fighting at school, like Alfa tomorrow was told to go to school." Gio distracts his mother.

"What's? Defan fight? Same who? Was it so bad that Alfa was called to school?" Ines must have thought of his nephew.

"Yes, the enemy is battered, if only it is not broken maybe Defan has finished his enemy." Gio again remembered the cruel face of Defan which immediately turned bright after being advised by Vanka. His heart pierced again, and his mind began to muddle again.

Gio tells the beginning of why Defan can fight. Gio also tells the story of Chika, Defan's lover who returned from abroad.

"Chika Temen y'all Junior High?" Gio nodded his head.

"Defan is like his papa. It is difficult to control his emotions. If you're angry, no one dares to come closer, he won't want to beat anyone, except the person he loves." Ines describes Defan's character as being exactly like Alfarezi.

Gio finally understood and understood that Defan really likes Vanka. The proof is just a few words coming out of Vanka's mouth. Defans can easily fall.

"Sister Ernes has come home yet?"

"Udah, it's in the room." Gio immediately ran towards his sister's room. She left her mother in her room alone.

Gio play nyelonong just go into his brother's room. Ernes was reading a book. He looked up when the door of his room opened.

"When people enter the room knock on the door first!" ernes said without taking his eyes off his book.

The silly Gio started knocking on his sister's bedroom door. Of course Gio's actions made his brother shake his head.

"Why? Mama said from noon she did not want to leave the room. Why are you here now?" Ernes asked without taking her eyes off the book.

"Aren't you busy?" ask Gio.

"Busy." again Gio got a cold answer from his brother.

"Get out yuk kak, coffee." take Gio. Even though her brother said she was busy. But still Gio took his brother out.

Ernes would usually reject Gio's invitation. But this time Ernes agreed to his sister's invitation. Ernes saw it seemed like her sister had a thought problem.

This is the first time Gio's invitation has been confirmed by Ernes. Ernes would usually refuse for various reasons. And in the end let Gio confide in his room.

But this time, it was possible that Ernes saw the burden of her sister's mind was too heavy. So Ernes gave her sister a chance to just go out and relax her mind that might be in a mess.

After saying goodbye to her mother. The two sisters then went out to find a good place to hang out. Until finally Gio and Ernes arrive at the cafe where ordinary Vanka and Akila hang out.

The atmosphere of the cafe is quite crowded. Coupled with live music that makes the place even more lively.

It has been since the last year Akila looking for extra pocket money by singing the cafe. Actually not looking for money, but rather channeling his singing hobby.

"Lo know him?" asked Ernes who had been watching Gio since.

"Yes, he's my underclassman."

"What story do you want?" ask Ernes again.

"Sister, if it's a sister, sister likes the same woman as temen or brother sister, what should you do? Sacrifice for brother, but for love?"

"If it's brother, sister more to the girl anyway, he likes the same who. Why korbain everything if the girls don't want to be with us."

"But sister also does not know anyway, sister has never liked girls." added Ernes.

"Don't be cold to be a guy, want to be like doctor Refano, not married until now?" said Gio while advancing his lips.

"Oh, you're going out just want to sneak a brother out?"

"No, just kidding, brother." Gio touched her brother's cheek lovingly.

Defan asks her sister to take Vanka and Rakha out together. Defan also tells Aiko about her feelings for Vanka.

Aiko was surprised. As far as Aiko is concerned, Vanka is close to Gio. But at that time Gio also asked him to keep his closeness with Vanka.

"Lo likes Vanka?" Defan nodded his head confidently.

Is it because of this, Gio asks him not to tell his closeness to Vanka to anyone, including Defan. They all knew what Defan was like.

Defan and Aiko meet Rakha and Vanka in a shopping mall. Actually Vanka refused his sister's invitation. But because Rakha keeps forcing, Vanka finally wants to go with her.

"Dek, you go with Defan yes, same sister Aiko wants to go to the jewelry store first." Rakha and Aiko leave Vanka with Defan.

"Where are we going? Or do you want to buy what I buy?" ask Defan.

"No, I don't want to buy anything. I can buy it myself."

"Sorry, if I offend you, I don't mean it." Defan knew he was saying the wrong thing. Defan apologizes to Vanka. Afraid Vanka would be offended and angry.

"Eat it yuk!" invite Vanka who also felt sorry to see the expression of guilt Defan.

Defan and Vanka ate at the foodcourt. Defan and Vanka talked to each other and eventually connected to each other. Before long, they finally started to get along.

"Def, what exactly is your relationship with Chika?" ask Vanka.

Defan was silent for a while. Defan also regrets what eventually happened between him and Chika. Such great love has now turned into hatred.

"Chika's really your boyfriend, right?" Defan nodded his head.

"Yes, he's my girlfriend. He went with his papa out of the country, at that time I really felt devastated, I did not want him to go away me, I could not live a long distance relationship. I was devastated, I was sad, until finally he kept believing that we would stay together even if only by phone." Defan recalls his toughest days when Chika left him abroad.

"Until finally two months ago we broke off communication. I connected him but I couldn't. I was back in ruins, I thought what was my fault, until I finally got used to it without him. But damn why come back when I can almost forget him." Defan looks angry when he tells his story with Chika.

Vanka can see something that is not realized by Defan when Defan tells the story of his love with Chika.

"Lo asked him why he cut off your communications?" Defan shook his head.

"Ask! Who knew he had his own reasons why he had cut off communication that time." Vanka advised Defan to listen to Chika's explanation first.

"No need. Because for me he's dead" Defan said with a burning rage.

But somehow Vanka caught something different from what he saw. That Defan doesn't hate it as much as he looks. It's just that there's a sense that's hard to explain in Defan's heart.
