Mr. Bully
Closer - The Chainmosker

Varo's hand moved tightened his black jacket withstanding the cold of the night while waiting for the flames of the bonfire. Next to him was Bima busy picking guitars while the mangoes, Nabila, and Johan burned fish not far from them.

“Sera sang, C tone, I played in the key of G” todong Bima when Sera came with Olivia. The two girls just closed the cafe and then joined the others. They were all enjoying some leisurely time after a few weeks of being in that place.

“I breakdance aja let me exciting” replied Sera cuek sitting next to Bima and Olivia sitting next to Varo.

Olivia's eyes stared at the slowly burning bonfire and warmed them up. Suddenly from the side, Olivia could feel a touch of a hand on her face, she turned and found Varo tidying up the hair on her face.

“Sorry, but from yesterday I was squirming your hair hit your face” said Varo honestly. Instead of being angry, Olivia angrily smiled sweetly letting Varo insert her hair behind her ears.

“Makasih” says Olivia slowly.

“Kak, this drink want to be added again or not?” yelled Dimas at Rangga.

“Enough that, thanks ya” replied Rangga.

Dimas put a box of beer next to her and sat down next to Olivia. “Varo, try you shadow if suddenly there is a pig run here to matainin campfire”

“You mean African rhino?” olivia's correction, Dimas was silent for a while then nodded wrongly making everyone laugh amusedly.

“He is so, if you want to ngejokes never observation first” said Varo.

“Compared less observation, I believe that Dimas' brain is flat like a butterfly ruler, so if ngejokes like indiscriminate” continued Bima from the side to cause amused giggling. Dimas swerved but looked unconcerned.

“Anyone want to?” Johan thrusts a plate of grilled corn and without further ado is directly grabbed by the children until he himself is not parted.

“Bjak” maki Johan.

“Nih got me. I'm again fasting eating grains” said Varo grinning wide at Johan's expression.

“Gue will not talk to say ‘alah for you,’ I want because” reply Johan received corn belonging to Varo.

“Sera, nyany” perk Bima. Sera snorted showing an expression of disinterest.

“Don't be bothered Bim, again upset him, daftar your head in bakar” said Johan casually. Sera snorted loudly.

“Why else Ser? Kan I already said elope just let the family directly agree” said Rangga joined with Nabila.

“Sera no girlfriend?” whispered Dimas asked Olivia and answered with a plain nod.

Dimas was suddenly shocked while on the other hand Bima was busy holding back laughter, her mouth moving whispering a short sentence. “Mampus lu!” bima muttered looking satisfied.

“Now is not a matter of family blessing. Doi I'm mad big” said Sera. “Three days he mediemin me, but not breaking up. So now I'm confused”

“Yes nothing, the most common snack, ntar also amia” reply Olivia soothing. Sera shook her head strongly.

“This time he's mad big. If he asks to break up how?”

“Ya most briefly connect again”

“But I don't want us to break up, like a cheap bulb know not?” ketus Sera's. Bima and Johan spontaneously laughed out loud, but then hurriedly shut their mouths when they saw Sera's sharp plot.

“Laughter both of you, ntar see if you two are upset, I laugh through the mosque toa” threatened Sera annoyed.

“Ya maap Ser, you if you are funny because” reply Johan held a giggle.

“Udah-already, rather than upset mending we play the game, the loser dishwashing” bargain Nabila mediate. “Truth or drink the wine. After the first person, freely want to point to anyone aja.”

The children spontaneously cheered cheerfully as Nabila raised a bottle of wine and a small glass. Nabila then took the empty bottle and twisted it over the sand, the bottle spun a few times then stopped in front of himself.

“Damn it!” maki Nabila's. “Who wants my name?”

“I.” Bima raise your hand. “Speak one thing that you do not like from Kak Rangga”

“Rangga if sleeping ngorok” replied Nabila thought long to make amused cheers heard.

“Udah sleeps with dong?” tawa Sera laughs. Spontaneous Nabila's face turned reddish then hurriedly stared at Dimas.

“From between Olivia and Sera, who do you like?”

Dimas gawked, rather startled to be shot immediately with such a question, Varo and Bima automatically held back a laugh when they saw Dimas look a little misbehaved. Dimas did want to approach Sera, but a few minutes ago when he found out Sera already had a boyfriend Dimas immediately heartbroken.

Dimas likes to approach many girls, but he is most anti-approach girls who already have girlfriends. For Dimas the law is illegal.

“Ya is not asik” said Bima when Dimas prefers vertical up the contents of his wine glass.

“My turn now,” Dimas looked around him and stopped at Johan. “There's no girl that you incer here?”

“Ada” replied Johan seriously made all cast curious expressions. “Bima” continued to cause loud laughter except from Bima who threw a sewot expression.

“Enak! I'm a real guy. You don't see my cache big?” ketus Milky.

“This time I want it to Olivia” Johan said. Olivia looked up, since then she just laughed amusedly at how the game was going.

“What's it?” asked Olivia indifferently busy chewing her grilled corn.

“You don't like Varo? Like in a sense more than friends” shoot Johan directly. Everyone stared at Olivia, waiting for her to answer Johan's question.

“Emm.” Olivia muttered somewhat painstakingly swallowing the grilled corn, her expression looking relaxed as if Johan's question wasn't a big thing to her. For a moment he was silent for a moment, between being thinking or indeed deliberately wanting to make everyone continue to look at him with a curious expression.

Between that silence, Varo's phone suddenly rang, he immediately sighed in annoyance as soon as he saw Arini's name appear on the phone screen. Inevitably Varo was forced to stand up and choose to stay away from it. Just as his feet were stepping, Varo's face turned, and he saw Olivia smiling slightly as she gulped down her wine glass.

...*****...

Varo's foot stepped down the beach with the phone still in the ear. Her forehead frowned hearing Arini speak at length, while her eyes stared deep at the shoreline that could be seen thanks to the light rays.

For the umpteenth time they fought, although Arini still tried to hold back her anger that wanted to overflow but frustration was heard from every emphasis he said.

[You're beating me up, aren't you?] tanya Arini realized their communication sounded only from one side.

“Listen”

[Keep why don't you say anything?]

“Emang if I say something, you will immediately stop angry?” ask Varo calmly.

Arini bites her lips, she is angry and upset, but Varo's response just sounds like Arini's anger is not a big deal for her. Arini took a deep breath, sometimes he cursed himself why he liked this guy who was talking to him so much.

Honestly, sometimes Arini feels tired, only he tries to get close to Varo and try to open the guy's heart. But on the other hand Varo just looks not care. Sometimes Arini thinks of ending their relationship, but he is reluctant to let go of Varo just like that.

[We'll talk later] said Arini finally giving up. Fighting with Varo tonight will only make him eat heart and be disappointed alone. [Ete has come, I have to go. Don't forget to eat, rest, if there's a phone call time for me]

“Iya” replied Varo short.

The phone connection was switched off from the other side. Once again Varo threw a pebble then sat down on the sand of the beach. He felt lonely, even though the music from the cafe was faintly heard accompanying the waves.

The feeling of loneliness was nothing foreign to Varo. When everything looks fine, when a joke draws lines of laughter on his lips, or when he's with his friends. Varo is lonely. The taste may disappear, but only briefly, because when it returns on its own, it also comes back.

Silent, silent, sad.

Not many people understand him, because he himself cannot understand himself.

Varo lit a cigarette, he drew his smoke deeply into the soothing sensation of nicotine, though the calmness was only temporary.

“People say, if you smoke midnight near the beach can call a water demon loh.”

Varo's face turned away, his smile instantly appearing as soon as he saw Olivia coming up with a bottle of wine and two small glasses.

“You have drunk how many glasses??” asked Varo to remember the game he left. Olivia sat down next to him and raised two fingers in a short answer.

“Who lost?”

“Bima. But free too, how to wash dishes, he was drunk. It was just after eating, had a chance to vomit” Olivia's story. Varo grinned, could imagine how troublesome Dimas was to take care of Bima who was drunk.

“Bima is not strong given to drink, nyium scented stella aja can be nauseous like pregnant people” explained Varo.

Olivia laughed, she poured the wine into their glass and gulped down hers. The sensation of heat in the body creeping up provides warmth from the night air

“You why sit at night like a madman?” asked Olivia to open the conversation.

“So I'm noisy, call me like I want to nawarin pinjol” replied Varo lying.

“Your sister is a girl huh?”

“You know?”

“Iya. You are the youngest child. Your first brother a boy and your second sister a girl” reply Olivia made Varo look at her. “All schoolchildren know that, your father is a regular donor of the foundation, so everything about you is no secret anymore.”

Somehow Olivia's explanation made Varo feel a little disappointed, but she quickly dismissed the feeling and turned to look at Olivia.

“Why are you thinking about me like that?”

“Because I try to remember what you were like when SMA” replied Varo. Olivia folded her hands on her knees and leaned her head back and stared back at Varo.

Varo could feel how Olivia's gaze was able to make her heart skip a beat, she was blown away by the shady look Olivia gave her, and once again the lips...the part of Olivia's face that always manages to catch her attention.

“Whatever you try, you will not inget me” said Olivia calmly. “I used to be more often in class, even fitting break I prefer in class, and fitting class increase I moved”

“Breaks are also in class? Never been to the cafeteria at all?” ask Varo wonder.

“Early, but because the canteen is always crowded so I'm lazy. After all, every break of his work read novels.”

Varo's head shook with a serious expression. “You're like a pretty anti-social girl whose appearance fitting kebakar” school building

“Eh but I used to hope our school burned to know, let me not need school”

“My name too, let me not have to learn”

“I really like to learn, which I do not like other friends, on noisy likes to disturb me”

“Maybe because you are beautiful, so often disturbed” replied Varo.

“I, gorgeous” muttered Olivia slowly sounding like a statement as well as a question. “You like pretty girls?”

“You yourself like cute guys don't?“ Varo even flips Olivia's question.

“I like guys well”

“Kalo is the same, I also like good girls.”

Olivia smiled faintly. “Means I didn't get into your type”

“Why? Because you're not a good girl?”

“Iya”

“Wow. If it was two meters away from me” reply Varo jokingly, Olivia laughed amusedly pour the wine into the glass.

“What is an example if you are not a good girl?” varo fishing rod sounds curious. All the statements from Olivia's lips seemed to have a strong magnetic field that could easily pull her curiosity up to the surface.

“Hmm.” Olivia muttered, she fixed her sitting position in order to be able to stare towards the shoreline properly.

Varo waited, he seemed to enjoy Olivia's serious expression when he thought of the answer to her question. But after a while, Olivia turned her face towards Varo, without saying anything her sweet smile appeared. And after that Varo is sure to be right, there is something wrong with him, because he subconsciously began to like Olivia.
