RED MAPALA
Chapter 38 - By Yourself

Chapter 38 PMM

Lani felt like she was finally completely free. Free from the figure of Dikta who began to disappear no longer interfere in his life. He also returned to his home after feeling safe.

"Yeahayyy!"

Lani screamed out loud. Jumping over his bed. In the middle of a loud thumping song tuned with a high volume. Of course the girl followed the verse in the middle of the song that sounded.

"Time to hunt for love!"

Either possessed by a strange ghost which makes Lani dare to send a message to Boy to ask the situation.

Ijah stood in the doorway. The middle-aged woman was not too surprised anymore if her master acted like that. Ijah understood because it looks like the mistress is very happy.

From the first day of Lani's return home, the girl jumped up and down screaming, and laughed to herself. The second day he even invited Briana to join.

However, his best friend could only watch with a smile, unable to follow the crazy behavior of his best friend. Today, it is still the same. It's just that plus club music whose voice is more insane.

The elephant can only go while shaking the head. Sometimes he also follows the music. However, Mbok Ijah is ready, if soon there must be neighbors who come to protest because of the noise of an impromptu concert created by Lani.

Lani also began to change her appearance. Women wear skirts more often than trousers. Dikta never really liked if Lani had to wear a skirt. After all, it is the same as inviting disaster.

"Tumben elu dandan!" jendak Briana when moaning Lani looks also began to like dressing up, although not excessive.

"Girl, huh! Today I want to update with Boy. Anyway, I have to try hard so that the traces or aura of his ex-Dikta is not imprinted on me," he explained.

"You think ******** the former Dikta marked on your face? Hahaha, hilarious luh, Lan!" Briana put herself on the bed.

However, he immediately changed his position to sit down while shouting, "whaaaat? Do you want to update with Boy? Crazy huh!"

"Kok, crazy anyway?! Dikta has gone away, Bri. Then Tyo was sick again. No one will bother me because I'm shaking!" emphatically.

"Ih, Lani yeah! I'm just as astonished!" briana.

"Like me, Lah! My gebetan already exists. My school is not far away either. It's in the back building of our faculty, right? So, I don't have to bother far if you want to spread the charm as often as possible." Lani laughed again with her fast.

"Keep, are you sure Boy likes you too?" search Briana.

"Let's just chat him to me!" Lani asks Briana to read Lani and Boy's chat while she's choosing appropriate clothes for a date.

Briana has to admit that Boy seems to like Lani too. From whatsapp chat conversations they do reply to emoticons full of love. Boy also poetic often send love poems.

Briana thought the relationship between Lani and Boy was still in the level of giving each other a smile, greeting, and talking just like that. It turns out, it is their relationship that began to lead to the word "genesis" that Lani had been looking for.

"So, what do you think, Bri?" ask Lani when asking for Briana's opinion.

"Where's what?"

"Si Boy?" search Lani.

Briana said that Boy, Lani's crush is fine too. His style is cool and fashionable. Boy is also more handsome than Dikta because his skin is lighter and cleaner. Boy is indeed the type of youth who are at the opposite pole to Dikta. Boy is able to maintain and care for his body like Lani's favorite Korean oppa.

"Clearly, dong! Can't be doped, again, Bri! One is civilized, the other primitive!" lani protested instantly.

"But, it's still more Dikta, Lan!" Briana laughing.

"Money is not everything! Anyway Boy knows well! Guys are attentive, gentle, and do not like the maksa kayak Dikta. Not super-powered. Boy is so sweet!" the praise is sky-high.

"Well, her name is also you again fall in love. Tai cat also you say chocolate is sweetness kebangetan," mocked Briana.

"Yuuuh, you're the same time as the cat shop, anyway?! Slovenly!" exclaim Lani.

How wonderful love is. He can describe in so much detail, in so many words and colors. Love is an object that is even far away there on the horizon but while close and easily embraced.

"Lan, I'm still thinking that's hard on Tyo. I'm just afraid that one of us will suffer the same fate as Tyo" said Briana.

"You don't know yet, yes, if Tyo is involved in a bitcoin scam similar to krypto gambling?" Lani finished making braids in her hair.

"Times, anyway?" search Briana.

"He did that, really. So there's a chance it's Tyo's enemy. Maybe one of the motorcycle gang members who got tricked by Tyo," said Lani.

"Ah, the hell time? I still don't believe it."

Meanwhile, Dikta was still on the second floor veranda in front of his room

The young man began to feel alone. However, the word itself is not a foreign word to Dikta. He has known her many times. And all the definitions of the word "alone" are starting to be fun.

Just yesterday got a call from Rio ferkait alibi in maba Dikta was when the stabbing of Tyo happened. Luckily, he had an alibi.

His new hobby is painting and often going back to the painting studio in the area near Tyo's house, making him have evidence that he was in the hangar when the stabbing of Tyo occurred.

That day, Tyo painted about someone who was alone on the beach. Dikta had often struggled with solitude because there was often no one at home, so he could do things calmly. Alone also means going anywhere without both friends as before. And it's fun after days of always being together.

Dikta also began to like when he managed to get rid of the women who had been attached next to him. Things that start to make him sick and bored with all the attention and indulgence of those who begin to feel curbed.

No doubt Dikta also had to hear some special calls. Yayang, ayang, darling, baby, babe, love, honey, and the like, which began to feel threatening to his freedom. In the end, he made himself decide for himself.

However, Dikta felt it was himself at that time an emptiness. Also for the word pain and loss. Sadness and regret. It is quiet itself too. Very quiet, because he misses Lani. The silence suddenly reminded Dikta of a Lani whom he had always forced to leave.

Dikta did not expect him to finally do exactly the same thing as his ex. He begged Lani to have her loved ones ready to stay. But the girl kicked him out raw.

The pain ran through his head while recalling every piece of memories present. Although unpleasant memories. Dikta grabbed a piece of photos from the Red Mapala children he had printed. He began to try to remember one by one the faces. Until finally there is a photo sheet that contains only photos of Lani. Dikta tore it apart forcefully.
