Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
19. I Want You

Today is Gala's first day of school. Although his legs still feel lethargic and there are still bruises on his face due to a hard impact at the accident, Gala was able to come to school with a more fit body condition.

“Hai,” greet Gemma during break hours in her class. Gala is seen sitting there alone while reading Naruto comics.

Gala raised her head, trying to force herself to smile at Gemma. “Hai... How are you?”

Gemma patted Gala's arm softly with anxiety. “I should ask, how do you feel? How are you injured?”

“Better..” Answer Gala flat.

“Good. You brought your medicine? What is pain killer?”

“Bawa kok,” Gala said while showing the plastic medicine she was carrying. “Tadi mornin' already drink.”

“Later to drink again yeah! I miss you, tauk!” Then Gemma lowered her head, peeping Gala's cheek at a glance. “I'm glad you're down from school.”

“Thanks...” Reply Gala briefly.

“Today you want to go? We can watch..”

“Ngak.” Cut the Gala just like that before Gemma can mention what movie she wants to watch.

“Kalo so, to the house of Niko and Erika yuk? We study together?”

“No...” reject Gala who looks not excited to do anything.

“Mmm..

“Damn it! Stay with me alone why?”

Gala snapped at Gemma. The girl stared at Gala stiffly. He instantly rewinded his body hearing the Gala's clasping that seemed to be completely disturbed by his presence.

Everything feels foreign at this time. Gala seems to be installing a very high separation wall. He did not want to be looked down upon by Gemma. Enough is enough when Gemma saw him so stunned to cry at the funeral. Although grief was a natural feeling, but as a man, it was unyielding for Gala to look so fragile.

But apparently, the girl did not give up. He still wanted to try to comfort the lover who had just left his father.

***

After the National Examination, May 2006

“Mas Gala... no guests!” call Bik Yana from below.

“Say I don't exist!” gala shouted from above at Bik Yani. He really did not want to meet anyone at this moment. His brain was so slow to digest Paul's advice the other day. But according to Paul, Gala who was about to drop out of school was a good start.

The clock had shown at 8 p.m., but now his eyes were sleepy. Gala went to her bed and lay down looking at the Paul Gilbert poster on the wall.

His head immediately thought of his original college goal. Suddenly he changed his mind to go to college in a further place, whose English was not too mixed with other languages.

Australia, New Zealand, USA, UK, or? Arghhh! Truly he wanted to find a better escape, further than all that reminded him of his parents.

Gala closed her eyes for a moment just as the door to her room suddenly opened and Febri, Niko, Diana and Erika appeared.

“Surprise!” yell them together.

From behind, appeared Gemma carrying a black forest cake with the number 19.

“Blow the candles first,” whispered Gemma. Gala complied and immediately blew the fire in the candle until it was extinguished. “Happy birthday,” says Gemma while peeping Gala's cheek.

“Still, Gem ...” Gala said while stroking the top of Gemma's head. Gemma's face reddened in embarrassment, but she liked the simple gesture Gala had done to her.

“Happy birthday old bangka!” said Febri while giving Gala a gift that is not known what it contains. “This we four joint venture buyin. Watch out for ile!”

Gala opened the box that turned out to contain the latest analog digital watch in black that he had wanted last year, but stopped buying it because he got another watch gift.

Not good with friends who had come to his house, Gala brought them to the karaoke room on the 1st floor. They were all singing until they were tired of themselves.

Laughing and crying, depending on what song is being performed. Febri and Niko stood up and hugged Gala with a cry. Diana and Erika looked at them with cute expressions, but just let them be like that.

“Sorry we are Bik, here is a mess!” gemma said awkwardly. Because it should be at 9 pm, Bik Yana has returned to the house of a special house assistant that is located behind the house Gala, still one area with this amazingly magnificent house.

“Ngak papa Ma'am. Rarely either. Besides, Mas Gala also needs entertainment. Poor thing, orphaned ..”

At half-time at 11pm, everyone finally returned home, except Gemma who remained, helping Bik Yana clean up all the mess they caused. Bik Yana was ready to go home after everything was done.

Now, at home there is only Gala and Gemma alone. Gala looks awkward now. But the girl seemed to look very ordinary.

Gemma is always calm, never too happy or too sad, so sometimes it is difficult to read her heart and what she is thinking.

“Not coming home? I anter ..” asked Gala to glance at Gemma who was now sitting sweetly in front of her while watching television in the living room on the second floor.

“I still want to be here,” muttered Gemma without looking at Gala. “Can we talk to you for a minute?”

“Sok atuh, we have talked from earlier.”

“There's something I want to give you. personally ..”

Gala was unable to shake the curiosity, she glanced at Gemma who was currently opening her tote bag to take out something. Was it?

“First of all, I have to give you this. Don't be surprised. This is not a gift. I just want to go back to this with you. Actually it should be to the person directly. But I think it would be embarrassing. So I entrust it to you,” said Gemma while handing the object to Gala.

Gala was shocked when she saw the adult magazine that Gemma had submitted. “I-ini ... magazine?”

“Niko ..”

“So you??”

“I what?”

Well, Gala can't imagine that Gemma is reading. Satan is right this Niko!

If until Gemma's brain is contaminated by his friend how? Dog, the Niko.

Gala shy. Really embarrassed until she talks stammering, “Ka-you read?”

“You read too often, right? No way not!” tukas Gemma is very confident.

Gala's face flushed like a boiled crab, then took the magazine from her lover. “Su-already? Come home. I don't want to be asked again about this!”

The girl again smiled with an expression that was so hard to research. There is one thing that Gemma still seems to keep in mind.

“I want to stay ... Midnight tonight, I'm birthday too!”

Holy hooch! Gala forgets that tomorrow is Gemma's birthday. Their birthdays are just a day different.

Gala on May 14, while Gemma on May 15. In an hour, the girl will be 18 years old. Ah ... The girl is an adult. Gala looked at Gemma affectionately and touched her face with guilt. This girl wants to be close to him.

“I'm sorry, I forgot, Gem ...”

“It’s okay .. I didn't ask for anything. You are here, I am so happy!”

“Then what do you want, darling?”

“I want you ..”
