Miss Cupid & Mas Cupid
11. Little Finger

Bell went home to school in all corners of 1 Raga Nusantara High School. Kala already stands in front of class X IPS 2, because the class is already finished first.

"What are you looking for, father?" Ask Pak Budi as soon as he opened the classroom door and found Kala standing as if waiting.

"Huh? Nyariin sir? No, sir." replied Kala.

"Not lie to me." Said Mr. Budi. "Well, why are you standing here?" He continued.

"I'm looking for my friend." Answer me honestly.

While the students of class X IPS 2 have been waiting in long line behind Mr. Budi, because Mr. Budi is still standing at the door of the class.

"What are you doing behind your dad?" Mr. Budi looked back.

"The father standing at the door. We're going out, sir." A student named Davin.

"Yes patient dong, get in line. Not grusa grusu. Children today love grusa grusu." Mr. Budi said still not moving.

"Ofra!!! I'm kebelet bokeeerrr!!!" Shouted Tofa broke through the queue and ran out of class towards the bathroom.

Mr. Budi was pushed and almost fell. Fortunately, he was holding a pole in front of the class.

"Astaghfirullah. bocaahh.." Mr. Budi stroked his chest. Then walk to the teacher's room.

The students of class X IPS 2 scatter out of class.

"Gee.. Grady!" Call Kala.

Grady turned his head as he scrunched his forehead. He walked over to Grady.

"Hehe. Anu, this I love lo gift card vouchers, can be for all menus make lunch or dinner at Dusk Cafe. Who knows if you'd like to eat with Rani." Said Kala while handing over a blue card.

Grady raised his eyebrows and received the card. Grady looked at the blue card and Kala alternated with a flat face, then threw away his face.

"God! What the fuck is this seductive boyfriend guy. And that, what the fuck is just carelessly giving stuff to people's girlfriends!" Rani who suddenly came straight snapped and snatched the blue card from Grady's hand.

"Daughter? Oh, yes it turns out. cepet very.." muttered Kala slowly but still can be heard by Grady. I don't know about Rani.

Rani put down the paper bag that she had brought, then flipped through to see what card Kala gave to Grady.

"Cafe Table? What card is this? Why are you giving it to my girlfriend?" Rani looked at Kala cynically.

"I'm sorry, Ran.." Kala cupped his palms together and raised them to the chest as a sign of apology.

"First, I thank you this is intended to make a moment for both of you. But it turns out you're already dating. Mercifully. Congratulations, I'm on the seneng." Kala continued.

"Yes. Thanks though. But what is this?" Rani asked again with her cynical face.

"That's gift card vouchers, Ran. In it already there is a balance deposit of one million five hundred thousand rupiah. You can use make an all menu order at Dusk Cafe." Smiling explained.

"Oh, maybe. It just so happens that we want to eat together. Mahen and Kina are too. Is that right, my baby G?" Rani is pampered on Grady's arm.

"Hmmm.." Grady just cleared his throat.

A quinine? But I was going home with him, he said there was an appointment. Is it possible that his promise is the same? Inner Kala.

"China! Mahen!" Rani waved a hand calling Kina and Mahen.

The two summoned people immediately approached the source of the voice.

"China? He said you had an appointment?" Ask Kala to Kina.

"Eh, yes. Anu, Kal. I have a promise with Mahen." Kina scratched behind her ear.

"Oh.." Kala just fuckin' a shit.

Rani took the paper bag that she had just put down, and gave it to Kala.

"What is this, Ran?" Ask Kala who actually more or less already knows what it is. Seen from the logo printed on the paper bag.

Kala still refused to accept the white paper bag.

"Yes. This is elo. As per Lo's request, right?" Rani raised her voice.

"Huh? No, Ran. I didn't even ask for anything from Elo. I sincerely admit it to you." Reply Kala while handing back a white paperbag with a picture of an apple bitten.

"Hehehe. Yeah, I know. But this is my promise to Elo. Here, take it." Rani pulls Kala's hand then hands it over half forcefully.

"Lo is a friend, uh, a good friend." he said later, glancing at Grady.

Rani then hugged Kala for a few seconds. They were silent for a moment.

"Well! Here comes his son. I'm looking everywhere too. Come to the music studio." Rizal suddenly came and stood beside Kala.

"Huh? What's up, brother?" Kala's confused.

At the moment, Kala is confused. Confused by Grady and Rani's changing status this quickly. Confused by Rani's gift. Confused by Grady's changing attitude. And confused by the appearance of the most wanted upperclassman suddenly.

"You promised me the same." Rizal.

"Promise? I said think about it, sister." replied Kala.

"Udah, I knew the kids there. So that you get used to it." Rizal pulls Kala's hand.

"Okay, if that's what we're going to do first, Kal. thank you for the card." Rani smiles and pulls Grady's hand to walk away. Do not forget to invite Kina and Mahen to participate.

While Kala was forced to follow Rizal walking towards the music studio. The interaction between Miss Cupid with the most wanted upperclassman did not escape the attention of the people around. Including Grady, Rani, Mahen, and Kina.

"Sister, isn't the band's exkul tomorrow huh Brother?" Kala asked on the way to the music studio.

"Yes, if it's on schedule tomorrow. But almost every day after school the kids are on rehearsal in the studio." Rizal turned to Kala without stopping his path.

The two of them continued on their way to the music studio.

"Well, where are they? Why is the door locked like this?" Rizal said as he continued to try to open the door to a large room that read 1RN Music Studio.

When Rizal and Kala arrived at the music studio room, the door was locked. Rizal tried his hardest to open the studio door. But free, it seems there is no activity in there.

"Usually children in training. Let me find Acel for a second, Kal.. Just wait here first.." Said Rizal, asking Kala to sit in the chair available in front of the music studio.

"Sister, brother, no need, brother. tomorrow only yes.maybe the brothers again on no other business." Kala.

"But I want to know elo to the band kids and tell elo about the exkul band." Said Rizal again.

"Yes, Brother.. but.. emm.. how about tomorrow, Brother? Sis is the training schedule tomorrow right, sis?" Bid again.

"But I'm sure they must be training today. Maybe they're just looking for food. Just a minute." Rizal is still trying to hold back.

Kala's confused. Actually Kala is not ready to enter in this extracurricular. Because a little more will certainly interfere with her activities as Miss Cupid and also the mager fall while watching the series.

"Yes, sister, but today I have not told my mother that I came home late. So I have to get home in time, brother.sorry, yeah, sister.." Kala began to bring out one of the thousand and one reasons he might have.

"Jaudah. But you have to promise me tomorrow to go back to school. And you have to promise me that Lo will get into my band. Because there'll be an event soon." Rizal said he finally let Kala go home, although it was a little heavy.

"Yes, Brother.. God willing." replied Kala.

"Promise dong!" Rizal thrusts his little finger into Kala's face.

"God willing, Brother." said Kala again.

"Gue didn't accept anything uncertain. And I also don't want to accept rejection from Elo." Rizal started to force.

"Where's your little finger?" Rizal.

"Yes, Brother.." Finally Kala hooked the little finger of his right hand with Rizal's little finger.

"Gue wait for tomorrow." Rizal whispered right near Kala's ear.

Kala goosebumps for a moment. I don't know what he's feeling right now. I want to be thankful and complain at the same time.

Grateful for being able to be closer and familiar with the upperclassmen compared to his other peers. So if anything happens at least already have a backing. That's how he thought.

But on the other hand also complained because of the coercion carried out by Rizal. It was not that Kala had no desire to refuse. But Kala felt sad. And again, it is true what was once said by Rizal that new students are required to follow at least one extracurricular activity.

And again Rizal was right. That Kala is actually also lazy to follow extracurricular activities that require hard work squeezing sweat and brain. So it is indeed extracurricular like this band that might be followed by humans like Kala.

Kala was finally able to return home quietly after getting permission from Rizal.

It is strange that my life. My feelings are nobody. But how come all of a sudden the handsome upperclassmen are charming on my decketin huh? Do they really just want to ask for help with me to get combined? Ah, I don't understand.. Monologue in his heart.
