Mission to Save the Heart
8. I Like Lunar?
Perhaps avoiding the Lunar was a difficult job for an OSIS chairman, given that I did not deserve to discriminate against the Lunar like it was part of the invisible. Plus we are in the same class and in the future there will probably be more opportunities to meet in Sispala activities or bimbel that he will take next.
“Oy! Here, lo jacket!” peekik Theo, make me then inching towards him. “Do what, the hell I take ginian?” there was a shadow of the letter W painted on his forehead.
“Yes, because I need!”
“Certain that what? Envelope from Mr Dahlan?” search Theo when he found a black plastic bag that was hiding closely the objects I had just bought from the cooperative.
“Many ask lo!” my protest was to snatch the soft, warm cloth from Theo's grasp. “Udah back to class!” I patted his shoulder to just leave Theo first.
“Iya, Yes! Equally package!” pekik Theo with satire.
I always try to give my best persona to everyone. However, along with that I also always gave Theo the most trashy persona. Coincidentally Theo was also not a clean human being, although I could still see a white dot within him. So, somehow our relationship could be pretty good despite going through something dirty. It's not that we never fight. We clearly had a time where each other fought arguments to jotos. And I still remember well my grudge back then.
It was the second day of entering High School in student orientation. Me and Theo accidentally came to one of the grocery stores in front of the school to buy bread that we have to collect to the – lady later will be donated in the framework of social service activities. As a result of the remaining bread was only one, so we decided to fight each other and wreak havoc because no one wanted to budge. Especially I who did not want to be dried as the day before due to giving my drink to one of the female participants I did not know.
At that time Theo was so savage that I got a blue tattoo on the right pepilis due to the raw bogem he landed. I who do not accept then reply to the anarchist action. However, it turns out Theo has an agile defense so he managed to fight and it makes the father of the grocery store owner who tried to divorce us who must be my fist samsak. In the end we had to pay tribute to Sang Saka Merah Putih because the grocery store father complained us to the school. I was sunburned again.
“Still yes, Zeev!” reveal Lunar as I wrap my jacket around her slender waist to cover the red tracks on the back skirt.
“Sama-sama.” reply me while handing black plastic to the surface of his palm. “Gue to class first, yes!” that's how I left Lunar on the park bench. I don't want to get involved any further with the girl's drama.
Before moving to the playground not too far from the school, I did not escape to approach Riri in class XI IBB 2 to take a sheet of Sispala membership registration form. None other than for me to dedicate to Lunar, the girl who took my jacket home to cover her skirt until **** ended.
Waitaminute! Why am I often touted as the brightest child in this school actually not terbesit idea to make Lunar face directly to Riri?
I know that it is my duty to serve, guide, and direct students in organizational activities. However, I don't need to feed them one by one like I did to Lunar, do I? Instead of discriminating against the Lunar with a negative connotation, I had unconsciously discriminated against the Lunar in the most polite and positive way.
“Yes, sorry! I don't have teleportation skills!” my light is carrying a gray backpack.
“Nih, form!” Riri thrust the white piece of paper at me. “Emang who the hell, who wants to join?”
“Lunar. You know him too, right?”
“Know, no! But, I know enough that Lunar tuh, who actually love early in the morning on the field, right?” riri asked flatly, even her face did not undergo much change either.
“Udah, don't make fun! My ears are very hot with people on the talk mulu.” protest me while closing the senses of this listener with both hands.
“If your ears are hot, what else is Lunar! You know, since that incident he became shunned with his friends?”
Riri's question then managed to resuscitate my common sense. I thought that I was the only one to bear so much loss for Lunar's crazy deeds, considering that my good name had been tarnished by the spread of misguided bad rumors about me at school. However, my logic was too shallow that it was unaware of the Lunar position. It's worth it these few days Lunar just spent his rest time on the park bench alone, considering Viona was not allowed to go to school for two days.
“Lo still sure Biarin Lunar join to Sispala?” Riri looked at me as if the Lunar presence in Sispala would have a big impact on Lunar life in school. “The worst possibility is that he could be more hated than now because he was accused of being a fanatic fan of kegatelan lo.”
Riri's right. Why did I just remember that I had Zeevers always shadowing me? Perhaps Zeevers will do worse than this, considering that Zeevers always clean up my problems related to the opposite sex. Not that I'm jumawa or sok kecakepan. It's just that I have quite a lot of followers in school, either the managers of OSIS in my time, or even Zeev Lovers – group of girls who he said admire and become my loyal followers.
“But, I also have no right to ban him, right?” my pretext, let my gaze and Riri meet each other.
“Lo is not uncomfortable?” kelit Riri, secretly demanding decisiveness from me.
The difference? Sure did! Normally I would feel uncomfortable if there are female students who are too aggressive approach me according to the cases I have experienced before. However, why didn't I find a faint wave that shook when the girl was Lunar? It is as if this conscience knows that there is something special in Lunar that this conscience is eager to ascertain. Are all the irregularities that undermine the firmness of reason caused by an attraction?
The deg!
Do I like Lunar?
