“The pulp is eaten, not stirred mulu,” Sabyla scolds Niken who only stirred her porridge. It is currently lunch hour as their school is finished in the afternoon at around 4 p.m.
“Suddenly I'm not in the mood to eat, Byl,” said Niken, pushing the porridge slowly to the side.
“You haven't eaten one bit, Ken. It's been almost 2 weeks since I've known you, I've never seen you eat that much. You sometimes only eat sandwiches or toast as breakfast, but in the afternoon you do not eat at all,” said Sabyla worried.
“I didn't just eat that anyway, Byl. I also have snacking,” elak Niken.
“Iya, no snacking. But, just one or two packs of doang, and the rest is given to me,” Sabyla sneer.
“Kan important there, Byl,” bela Niken.
“Kin ying pinting idi, Byl,” Sabyla scorn.
“You only snack if in love with Mahen. If not given, you will not buy also tuh snack,” Sabyla quipped.
“Ih, why even bring Kak Mahen anyway, Byl? Mahen has nothing to do with my meal portions,” said Niken did not accept.
“Terasu you. I wonder, actually how small your stomach so that portion can be enough for you hungry all day?”
“Entah, I'm used to eating a little portion, Byl.”
“Keep you fit home no more eating at home? Don't tell me there's no!” search Sabyla.
“Ya, sometimes there is a meal anyway,” replied Niken doubtfully.
“Tuh right! Do you not love your stomach? Later the pain even becomes more troublesome business.” Sabyla continued to babble, advising Niken.
“Byl, you have been like mothers for a long time, you know? Grunting mulu,” grunting Niken.
“Eh! I nagged gini for your good too! You see, I have stomach pain because I rarely eat and like to eat spicy. So, I don't want you to also understand what I'm feeling.” Sabyla became sewot after hearing Niken's words.
“Sstt! No noise, Byl. We are still in the cafeteria,” remembered Niken because of Sabyla's big voice to make all eyes fixed on them.
“Eh, sorry, I'm release. It's your fault!” sabyla said, slowing down her voice.
“And I'm really, Byl. You seem to be careless, but the real attention. Even my own parents are not as worried as you, let alone to chatty,” said Niken slightly chuckled.
“Yeah? Am I that big?” ask Sabyla not sure.
“Truly, Byl. You if you have worried mode must be very chatty,” replied Niken memgebu.
“That's it, don't talk about it anymore. Btw, 4 days ago I never saw you with Kak Mahendra again, Ken. Though previously almost a week with mulu,”ucap Sabyla shifted the topic.
It is true what Sabyla said that Niken had not met her senior that one. It had been 4 days since the last time they met, but Niken had never seen Mahendra reveal the trunk of his nose.
The punishment Niken got for a week has been passed well. During the week Niken continued to be treated with the task of taking care of files that were like endless, so much and piled up.
Somehow the table that is always empty every time he has completed his task, will definitely return full of files the next day. Niken sometimes thinks, where did all those files come from? Why did it get that much? Have all these files been left abandoned? I don't know, Niken didn't get the answer either.
During the week of his sentence, Mahendra will always give a snack after he finished working on all the files. Sometimes Mahendra also helped Niken with all the piles of paper.
Sometimes they joke while they are resting. The longer Niken knew Mahendra, the more he felt that Mahendra was a pleasant person. Mahendra can create a carefree atmosphere so there is no awkward feeling between them.
Niken spent his sentence cheerfully because he did not feel burdened. It was all thanks to Mahendra's attitude. But, after his sentence was over, he had never once seen Mahendra again.
“I don't know either, Byl. The last time I met Kak Mahen was the last day of my sentence,” said Niken. After that, there was silence between the two.
“Byl, I want something,” said Niken suddenly, breaking the atmosphere of silence created between them.
“You ask what?” asked Sabyla who had put down her phone.
“You know not?”
“Not know!” answer Sabyla quickly.
“Yaudah, what do you want? So serious!”
“This... ouch, where to start?” niken was confused.
“Lah? How is it me? You have a story, not me,” Sabyla said.
“So gini, you still remind me of my story about my first meeting with Mahen?” Sabyla nodded her head in response. Niken told him about the incident.
“When I first met Kak Mahen I was like deg-degan, Byl. I did not even dare to look up to Mahen, it feels like my heart is beating really fast,” explained Niken.
“Terus?” ask Sabyla curiously. Niken only ever told how their first meeting was, but did not explain it in detail.
“But, when I was getting close to Mahen, I was normal. I don't feel comfortable anymore, I feel comfortable. Moreover, Mahen Pinter woke up the atmosphere so as not to be awkward,” continued Niken.
“Good! Keep the problem where?”
“Ih, so it was done until the end, Byl,” whining Niken.
“Iya, sorry. Continue with this,” sahut Sabyla.
“And we haven't seen you since my sentence was over. But, the problem is that I feel like there is less, Byl, because I did not see Mahendra. Why me, Byl?” Niken lowered her head, feeling embarrassed.
“You like your sister Mahen, Ken?” ask Sabyla.
“Ngak!” niken replied spontaneously.
“I don't like Mahen, I'm sure,”.
“You're really sure or trying to convince yourself?” sabyla asked, again trying to investigate the truth.
“Totally sure how, Byl!” niken replied nervously from being stared at like that by Sabyla.
“Yaudah, it's up to you. What matters is my advice never to lie to your own feelings. If you get that kayak, then get ready to get hurt more,” Sabyla's message.
“He, Byl! How do you pray?!” sewot Niken's.
“And I'm just telling you the truth, Ken. If you are really comfortable with Mahen, do not you lie to yourself by suggesting that you feel ordinary.”
“He, Byl! Don't talk like that.”
“I'm just giving you some advice, Ken. So, you should now ask yourself what you really feel. Do not just because of sticking with a rational mind, you are even injured in the future,” said Sabyla sage.
Niken fell silent, pondering over what Sabyla said. Is it true that he is now trying to lie to himself? Is it true that he is trying to suggest himself to think rationally?
Niken has never felt her name fall in love before. Never mind falling in love, he never even got close to any guy. Just this time he was close to a guy named Mahendra.
Aye! maybe that's why he behaved the way he does now. Because he had never experienced such a thing before, making himself so keep thinking. Yes, that was the most logical reason he could currently think of.
“Ken, Ken!” call Sabyla who made Niken come out of her mind.
“Hah? Yes, Byl?” ask Niken.
“Let's go back to class, it's almost bell in. I'm also ready to eat fried rice,” take Sabyla.
“You don't dream on, later a new satanic tau tau tau tasa,” said Sabyla quipped because he saw Niken who was like a confused person.
“What are you doing, Byl! Who is daydreaming,” ketus Niken do not accept.
“Yes, yes, yes. It's up to you,” says Sabyla cuek.
“Eh, Byl! Wait for me, don't go straight alone!” niken yelled at Sabyla who was already walking towards the classroom, leaving Niken. However, he became embarrassed himself because now the people in the cafeteria were looking at him.
“Means you don't melt into people!” replied Sabyla who kept walking.
“Si Byla is a great habit! Really like ninggalin people,” pussy Niken upset. Finally he ran a little, following Sabyla who had started to be invisible
