Our Joke
One Equal

Adel rested his body on the balcony. She smiled to herself while staring at the phone screen. Apparently he was texting Daniel, he deserved to be happy.

"Gue pick you up yah"

"Not a papa?"

"No papa Adel, I asked"

"Good night Adel, lead me ya hehe"

"If not?"

"Should dong dream me"

"Haha, okay Daniel"

....

Such was the fleeting message of Adel and Daniel. They were talking about Daniel's brother's wedding.

Adel's smile slowly faded when he found the notification from instagram. He scrunched his forehead and saw Nao's name there.

"Well, did he follow me?" he muttered and opened Nao's profile.

"Widihh seleb yak" Adel again said after seeing so many followers Nao.

Adel smiled slanted "No need I follback, yes, it's already a lot of follow"

Adel closes the app without receiving a friend request from Nao. He chose to ignore it.

Meanwhile, Nao himself was staring at the screen of his phone. Apparently he was waiting for a notification from Adel, but it turned out to be nil.

Nao clucked resentfully at "Basar weird chick. Lo, I follow why do not want to be accepted and do not want my followback, anj*r. Other girls are happy not because, continue to be shared in the sosmed"

Nao throws his cell phone just about anywhere on the bed and passes towards the dream.

***

It seems like Nao's habit of waking up during the day has disappeared. He had gotten used to waking up earlier since he knew Adel.

He was tidying up the tie he was wearing. After that, he went downstairs for breakfast.

"Where are you going?" nao asked when he saw his father saying goodbye to his mother with 1 suitcase beside him.

Asri looks over "Eh, Nao. Here son" Nao walked over to his parents.

"Papa you want to get out of town for a few days" said Asri.

"Oh" Nao was going to the dining room.

"Nao" called Bram who made Nao turn to look at him.

"What's pa?"

"Papa ask for help with you yes, accompany your mama to the wedding party of his friend papa"

Nao alternately stared at his parents "OK" he replied then passed by just like that into the dining room.

Asri and Bram exchanged glances seeing Nao's increasingly day by day attitude began to change.

"Ma, what's the tambet?" said Bram. Asri just shook his head.

"Why did Nao suddenly want to come to such an event?" Bram again asked his wife, but Asri only shrugged his shoulders at a glance.

After Bram's departure, Asri heads to the dining room to catch up with her son.

"Have you finished eating?" asked Asri then sat down in front of Nao.

"Almost"

"Ma, papa's bodyguard is still following?" ask Nao later.

Asri took the vegetable "No longer"

"Your father believes in you and Adel" he continued.

Nao smiling smirk. An idea just popped into his head.

"Ma, I'm leaving" she said, kissing the back of her mother's hand.

Nao drives his car straight to school without picking up Adel. He even intentionally did not tell her.

"Lo must be late" Nao smiled again as his car entered the gates of Helius High School.

Meanwhile, Adel still faithfully awaits Nao's arrival. He noticed the watch in his hand.

Adel turned to "Not pa" he looked back at the clock.

Hendra walked to his car "Usually you've left before papa"

"Perhaps, jammed pa" Adel smiled faintly.

"Haha, classic excuse. Want to be with papa?" Hendra slightly chuckled at his daughter's words.

"No need to go, most of all"

"Yes already, papa first yes son" said Hendra.

"Yes pa, be careful pa" Adel waved his hand at the papa.

Adel is still faithful waiting for Nao's arrival because Nao usually will pick him up. But it's been almost 30 minutes he waited and about 15 minutes the doorbell will arrive.

Adel's patience is running out. He chuckles annoyed "Lo came, didn't he? Where's the bell again"

Adel pulled out his phone. He looks for Nao's contact and calls him. But it was the rejection he received.

Nao himself across there smiled cunningly because he managed to prank Adel.

"We series. Lo kira lo doang who can refuse me" he said while staring at the screen of his phone.

Someone patted Nao's shoulder "Woy, why are you smiling so early in the morning?"

Nao. It turned out to be Malvin.

Nao returned with his flat expression "No, there's nothing"

"Alesane. From yesterday I noticed you smile yourself mulu, surely because of classmate Andi right" Malvin raised his eyebrows.

Nao glanced at Malvin lazily "No need to get so person" Nao walked away ahead of Malvin.

Malvin just shook his head to see the behavior of his best friend who was increasingly different from usual.

***

After receiving a phone call from Nao, Adel decides to stop the taxi. He rushed out the gate and waved his hand when a taxi passed by.

Looks like it's Adel's unlucky day today. There were 3 taxis passing through but no one stopped because they were carrying other passengers.

Adel is getting upset and panicked because he is definitely going to be late for school.

"Awas lo, Nao. I will reply to your report. You evil guy. Huh...!! I hope your car tires will leak when you go home" said Adel while clenching his hands in the air.

Adel finally made it to school. This was the first time in his school years that he had a late record.

Adel and the other students who were also late were pulling the grass and sweeping the school grounds. Adel did so while grunting in annoyance.

"Lo-gara, my record as a student who has never been late for this time is smeared" he murmured while plucking the grass.

The student in front of her just stared in wonder at Adel. He whispered to the student beside him. It is possible that they are friends because the two compactly look at Adel with astonished looks. Adel chose to ignore it. He doesn't know them.

After completing his sentence, Adel rushed into the classroom. How embarrassed he was when his classmates laughed at Adel's presence which came too late.

Adel walked quickly towards his chair by lowering his head. Then he sat in his chair. He put a rough bag that makes Dita laugh more Adel.

"It can be too late"

Adel folded his hands. He grunted annoyed.

"It's funny that I'm late?" adel asked with a sharp look.

"Over this time, you're the most anti the same name is late Del, so we ngetawain lo"

Adel semkin is upset. Instead of entertaining, Dita teased him.

"Why are you late?" ask Dita later.

"For the celeb" Adel took a book from his bag.

"Seleb? Wh who? Lo meaning...Nao?" Dita said Nao very softly. Adel just nodded his head in response.

I really want Dita to laugh at her best friend again. But because all the students had refocused themselves on the lesson, he could only hold back his laughter.

Adel himself rolled his eyes panted at Dita's response.

I'll keep it up if I can...
