The Enchantment of the Primadona
PSP 29: Shot

School is back to begin. Dona and the others began to get preoccupied with the tasks that were piling up. They can still make time to gather occasionally when there is free time. The relationship between Dona and the four men is getting closer. They even became very good friends.

The days passed until Dona finally rose to the twelfth grade with her achievements constantly increasing. As time went on, Ayu was already with Billy. Now, the two no longer cover their closeness at school. Many girls idolize Billy heartbroken, including Siska, a member of the Beauty gang.

Siska always tries to bully Ayu, but because Billy continues to stick with Ayu, making Siska unable to do anything. Unlike Dona, her relationship with Gilang is indeed getting closer. And Aditya and Raka as well. The three men still continued to chase Dona. Although in Dona's heart he actually likes Gilang, but still Dona does not want to open.

Coincidentally, when he climbed to the twelfth grade, Dona went one class with Gilang and parted ways with Ayu who was still in one class with Billy. The closeness between Dona and Gilang was increasingly intertwined intensely. They are both often in the same group. Raka who understood the closeness between Dona and Gilang chose to retreat slowly. He realizes that Dona seems to have liked Gilang. While Aditya is still trying to get Dona's attention even though he actually knows that Dona is so close to Gilang.

"Lo really want to give up on Deketin Dona?" Aditya asked Raka during the break.

"Gue see Dona is comfortable with Gilang. So, I prefer to remain his best friend. How about yourself?" Raka asked back.

"Honestly, I myself have seen how close Dona is to Gilang. But, I don't know why my heart refuses to give up. I still want to fight. I don't believe in Gilang completely, you know for yourself how often he plays girls' hearts."

"Lo really does too. But all I see is that he's sincere with Dona. Dona is happy too. Yes, either way, I also can't avoid you to keep Deketin Dona."

Aditya nods and only hopes that the decision he made to keep loving Dona is right. Aditya only wants to always be beside Dona, both when Dona is happy and injured.

Day after day passed, time really felt so fast. Dona and the others began to be preoccupied by an additional tutoring schedule after school. Soon they will all face the Final Examination which will determine their next steps. For Raka who was already famous for her genius, she was not too bothered with the exam preparation. What makes Raka ketar-ketar is his plan that will take the test to enter a famous university abroad.

Today, Gilang drove Dona home from school. Different from usual, this time Gilang uses his favorite big motorbike. Dona who was walking with Aditya was intercepted by Gilang.

"Let's go home with me." Cross pulled Dona's hand.

"But....." Dona glanced at Aditya who had already invited him home first.

Aditya smiled and nodded while patting Gilang on the back.

"Remember him home, don't wander." Aditya said to Gilang. "I forgot that I had made a pact with Raka to study together, about 2 hours continued the problem." Aditya told Dona.

"Really?" Tanya Dona hesitates in reply to Aditya's nod.

"There you go home. You don't have a tutoring schedule today, do you?"

Dona smiled and then walked in Gilang's footsteps with a happy face.

'Don, I don't know why I haven't been willing to let you go. But, seeing you smile happily with others....'

"Lo all right?" Raka suddenly appears from behind and pats Aditya on the shoulder who is standing looking at the back of Dona who is still walking towards the parking lot with Gilang.

"Gue's good."

"Sick emang. I am also rasain. But yeah how. Don't think about love first. Now focus on the exam. Come with me to the cafeteria, no need to go home first. Just want to start tutoring again." Raka.

"okay." Reply Aditya.

Gilang drove his bike slowly. He seems to deliberately linger on the road, so as not to get too fast to the house of Dona. Unlike usual, Gilang who always talked a lot suddenly became quiet along the way.

"You why? From that silent mulu?" Ask Dona.

"I want to say something." Answer Gilang.

"By the way."

"Don, we've known him a long time. Today is exactly 1 year, 6 months and 2 days we already know each other. It means we've known each other for 548 days, 13,166 hours, 789,960 minutes, and 47,397,600 seconds and still running...."

"Don, I'm serious. I think today is the time to talk to you." It sounds serious.

Dona's heart suddenly beat violently.

'Don't he shoot?' thought Dona.

"I wanted to talk a long time ago. But since the other friends also have the same feelings I have towards you, so I let you get to know us one by one. And I thought, you already know us all well. So today, I'm gonna dare myself to tell you, if I like you." Gilang paused his words and then sounded to take a deep breath. "Not only like, I love and love you. Ye.... Wanna not be my girlfriend....?"

Dona was silent, she didn't know what to answer. Actually, in the long run Dona has prepared himself if until Gilang will express his feelings to him. However, today everything was so sudden for Dona. Gilang who usually do things that are unexpected Dona, this time expressing feelings for Dona suddenly and on a motorcycle.

In Dona's mind, Gilang will express his feelings to her as Gilang usually does with unexpected surprises. Dona imagined Gilang would prepare everything perfectly like in a drama. Everything was dissolved today when Gilang declared everything all of a sudden.

"Where's Don? How are you quiet?" Gilang began to rouse.

"Where is Lang...." Dona looked doubtful.

Although in the heart of Dona, he does have a love for Gilang. However, according to the story that is often told Ayu, made Dona a little doubt and all this time he was comfortable making friends with Gilang, but was afraid to start a lover relationship.

"You doubt me?" Ask again.

Dona remained silent, he still thought. Since her former life, Dona has never felt her name fall in love. Her heart was completely closed to the male figure for fear of having a relationship that continued to a serious level. Dona in her former life was afraid of marriage. He was afraid that he would be bad for his son, just like his parents did.

"Don, please.... Give me a chance to prove that I really love you."

"Can't we just be friends?" Ask Dona.

"I want us more than that. I want you to be mine. I will not forbid you to remain in the same position as Aditya and the others. But, I want your heart for me."

Dona was silent again.

"Please Don't...."

Dona closed her eyes slowly and exhaled slowly, trying to think clearly. He wants to hear his heart. If you think of Ayu's words, Dona would certainly choose Aditya. But, this time Dona wanted to follow her heart.

"Please answer Don, let's just say we're at your house."

In the back seat Dona smiled, imagining Gilang's heartbreaking face.

"good. Let's try...." Dona's reply finally.

"Ma-ma-you mean you accept me that way?" Ask Gilang make sure.

"What do you want?" Ask Dona back.

"Yes, accept dong..." Reply Gilang girang.

"Yes, it's welcome." Balad Dona who made Gilang scream and remove the handlebar motor he was holding.

The startled Dona immediately hugged Gilang for fear of being bullied.

"Woii.... Don't carelessly take off dong. The dangers...." Shouted Dona.

"Hehehehe yes, yes... Excuse me. After all, I'm so happy. Thanks to ya." Said Gilang grabbing the hand of Dona who was still hugging her waist and kissed her gently.

Seriate....
