The Enchantment of the Primadona
PSP 51: Dating

"According to Philip Kotler, the notion of personality is an innate characteristic of human psychology or human psychological traits that are different and produce relatively consistent responses that can last a long time in certain environmental stimuli. Usually personality is described in behavioral characteristics such as self-confidence, socialization, dominance, self-preservation, adaptability, autonomy, and aggressive traits.

That is why personality is concerned with the self-concept which is the core of the individual personality. This core plays an important role in directing and determining the development of a person's positive personality and behavior. The basis of self-concept thinking is that what a person has can contribute and so reflect their identity. So that 'we are what belongs to us'." Said the Lecturer who was teaching in Dona's class.

Dona looks serious about recording the points described by the Lecturer.

"That is why to understand consumer behavior, as marketers we need to understand the relationship between consumer self-concept and ownership. This personality is then related to the existence of the form of the most profound characteristic differences of a person or called the inner psychological human. These physical differences can show the unique characteristics that each individual has as a social creature.

This form of characteristic difference can affect a person's response to their environment or stimuli consistently. So personality becomes one of the psychological studies that are then born because of the thoughts, studies, and findings of experts, where the object of study is human behavior. Finally the discussion of human behavior deals with the existence, why, and how the behavior of the individual." Continue the Lecturer. "Can anyone conclude?"

Dona raised her hand high, then the Lecturer pointed at her.

"In conclusion, human personality can show the nature of self or psychology, namely the quality of the nature of the innate ability that can affect the individual and temperament, especially to distinguish one individual from another." Dona.

"Frightly so." Reply to the Lecturer.

The lecture continues with the provision of essay tasks that must be completed now. While being serious about doing his job, suddenly in front of the classroom Dona sounded a commotion.

"What the hell is it?" Other students were whispering.

Dona chose to focus on doing her job until the sound of her classroom door was forced open. A familiar figure looked towards Dona full of anger.

"Hey you, get out now." His shout pointed towards Dona who was indeed sitting the front.

All the students in the class looked at Dona in surprise. Everything seemed to be wondering, what was the matter between Dona and the middle-aged woman standing at the door with that ferocious gaze.

Lecturer Dona class approached the woman who was none other than Mama from Gilang.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, now the students are working on a task. If you have a need, please wait outside until the lecture hours are over."

"How dare you talk like that to me. You don't know who I am?" Shouted Mama Gilang.

"I don't care if you are the wife of a member of the House of Representatives. You've been making a fuss, so...."

"Huh, you want to lose your job?"

Dona approached the Lecturer who was standing face to face with Mam Gilang by carrying the answer paper.

"This sir, I'm done. Sorry for disturbing the quiet class. I'm clearance to get out." Don said politely while handing over the paper.

Mama Gilang then came out, followed by Dona who followed him from behind.

Right in front of the class, Mama Gilang stood arrogantly looking at Dona with a gaze full of anger. Dona herself does not realize what else she has done to make Mama Gilang emotional.

"You have been warned,...."

"Sorry Auntie." Dona said cutting Mama Gilang's words. "I want to apologize for my attitude at the time. If Auntie comes to make a profit because of my attitude, please do not bring the problem to campus. I don't think Auntie needs to see me anymore, after all my relationship and Gilang is over. No one needs to worry anymore."

"What right do you have to rule me? I told you to stay away from Gilang. Do you have no shame?"

"Once again sorry Auntie. As I said before, my son and I have no relationship anymore. So Aunt...."

"Basic liar. If you have nothing to do, why until Gilang refused the engagement we held and said in front of all the family that he had proposed to you."

"Applying?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid. Actually what pellets have you used to tempt Gilang until he is crazy about you. Even yesterday he left an important company meeting to go see you pretending to be sick."

Dona scowled her twitching forehead. The commotion made by Mama Gilang had provoked the other students to make both a spectacle. Including the Beauty Gang who was observing from a distance.

"Once again, this is the last time I warn you to stay away from Gilang. If you're still in a relationship with him, don't blame me if you can't go to college. In fact, I make sure, there will not be any campus that will accept you as a student. Remember that."

Mama Gilang then left Dona to be a spectacle. The Beauty gang walked over to Dona.

"And I've said, kayak lo gembel lo anytime will never be able to be with rich people like Gilang. So if dreams don't height, if falling sick will feel." Queen Ejek.

"Basic abomination." Siska.

Dona was silent, he really tried his hardest to hold back his anger by regulating his breathing.

'Patience Dona, patience....'

Today Dona did not bring a motorcycle to go to campus because the motorbike he used to use was on strike and was taken by Mr. Edi to the workshop. Dona decided to leave the campus using a bulge without waiting for Aditya who still has a course of one hour.

On the way, a car stops a bulge that Dona is riding on. The car door opened and Gilang got out of the car. Instead of dodging, this time Dona really wanted to end her relationship with Gilang. After paying the ojol, Dona walked over to Gilang.

"You want to talk, right?" Ask Dona.

Gilang. Without permission Dona directly into Gilang's car.

"Sir, please take us to the nearest park." Dona.

The car drove across the road until it finally arrived at a park just a kilometer from where the two met earlier. Not yet had the two chatted, the rain suddenly descended with a rush. Gilang and Dona took shelter at a stop in front of the park.

A silent atmosphere enveloped Dona and Gilang who were looking at the swift sound of rain.

"Aku mohon, menjauh lah." Ucap Dona.

Gilang smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry, but for that I can't." said Gilang.

Dona fell silent again, her eyes straight ahead. Look at the rain that is starting to subside a little.

Dona's phone rang, a sign of an incoming message. Dona quickly replied to the message.

"Don, I told you. If I'm not going to back down, I'm going to try to get my parents to respect our relationship, I'm seriously going to marry you and I'm sure, from the bottom of your heart, you still love me." Silang.

"Feel in trust in yourself. Who said I still love you?"

"No horror. Or I need to repeat. It's obvious that I told you that you still love me."

Dona took a long breath.

"Son, you misunderstood. I don't love you."

"Are you sure you're not in love?" asked Gilang in a seductive tone.

"Remain sure, really."

"If not love, why try to still wear the ring that I once loved" said Gilang while looking at the ring that is circular on Dona's ring finger.

Dona.

"It-it-it.. i-it...."

"This what?" cut Gilang.

"It's because I'm used to it, so I forgot to open it." cried Dona and tried to open the ring that Gilang meant.

Gilang quickly blocks Dona's hand. The position of the two became so close.

Dona's chest became rumbling, as did Gilang. The two stared for a long time, until Dona woke up and shifted her eyes.

Missing then releasing her handrails.

"I'm sorry." said Gilang.

Dona just nodded.

"Don't let go, consider it a sign of our love" said Gilang.

"Sorry Lang, I really can't. I beg you to stay with me. Forget the relationship that ever happened between us. Our world is too different, even if we can unite, I'm sure your parents will never accept me. And I don't want to have an unresolved relationship like that."

"But Don...."

"Please Lang, stop. It's enough I got an insult from your Mama. I can't anymore."

Gilang no longer reply to Dona's words, he chose silence until the atmosphere became silent.

The rain started to subside.

"Come, I'll take you home" Gilang said as he stood up from his seat.

Dona came closer to the bike and went straight up in the back seat.

"Wear the raincoat first" said the driver as he opened the helmet glass.

Gilang looked at the man sharply.

'Aditya!' Gilang became furious.

He approached both.

"Don, come with me to use the car so as not to be rained" said Gilang pulled Dona's hand to get off the Aditya motorbike.

"So, I want to go home with Adit." Dona replied holding Aditya's waist.

The look on Gilang's face changed, jealousy overpowered his heart.

"Ayoo, go home with me. You'll get sick if it rains."

"I said no." Dona tried to take her hand off Gilang's.

Gilang tries to pull Dona down from Aditya's bike.

"Lepasin." said Dona.

Seeing the face of Dona who started to hurt because of Gilang's strong grip, made Aditya act by patting Gilang's arm.

"Mending you take off Dona's hand, he is in pain" said Aditya seriously. "if you love him, you should not force your will. Think about what makes him comfortable. Don't make a point."

Reflexible to release his grip on Dona's hand because he realized the look on Dona's face in pain.

"Sorry" Gilang told Dona, feeling guilty.

Dona looked angry, while stroking her flushed wrists. He then took off the faithful ring perched on his ring finger and gave it to Gilang.

"We're going to walk" said Dona.

"Well." replied Aditya while giving Dona a helmet.

The big motor is turned on.

"Sorry Lang, Dona wants to go home with me. I go first." Aditya told Gilang.

While Dona looked the other way, as if she did not want to look at Gilang. Gilang could only nod in reply to Aditya's words.

"Please take care of Dona, make sure she gets home safely. Be careful on the road." said Gilang patting Aditya on the shoulder.

"Definitely." Aditya replied and then the motorbike walked leaving Gilang who looked sad.

Along the way Dona just fell silent, with her position hugging Aditya tightly. Dona leaned her head against Aditya's back.

"Are you okay?" ask Aditya.

"I'm fine" replied Dona.

"Hmmmm, you were just as cross..."

"You don't have to talk to him anymore" Dona cut.

"So, I was horrified on campus you were noisy with Mama Gilang. What's the matter, actually?"

"I don't know Dit either. Though my relationship with Gilang has ended, but his mother still bothers me. He even threatened to get me out of college."

Aditya is silent, he himself does not know how to help Dona. A crazy idea crossed Aditya's mind.

"We'll stop by the cafe first yeah, make lunch." Take Aditya.

"okay." Dona's reply was brief.

Aditya's motorcycle is parked neatly in front of his cafe. After removing the rain coat, the two entered and went straight into Aditya's room. This time Aditya invites Dona to eat in his room because the cafe is crowded with visitors.

"When it rains again, visitors are even quite crowded." Aditya.

"You're complaining or...."

"Thank God Don. Cafe crowded visitors, yes I complained. Just wonder, again the rain gini even crowded."

Dona smiled and sat down on the sofa in Aditya's room.

"Wait a moment." Aditya said and left his room leaving Dona.

Aditya returns with a waiter who brings food for them.

After finishing eating, Aditya suddenly holds Dona's hand.

"I know, this is not the right time to say this. But this is the only way to make Mama Gilang believe that you and Gilang have broken up."

"What?"

"Be my lover."

"Well!"

"Honestly, I really want to shoot you. But this time is not the right time." Aditya smile. "We just have to pretend."

"But Dit...."

"Don, until whenever Gilang will keep chasing you. And automatically his parents will always bother you."

"Dit, I don't want to mess about relationships. I don't want you to get hurt because of this game. I'm...."

"You want to get out or not from Gilang? If you are in doubt, yes you should support Gilang to maintain your relationship and face all the obstacles together."

"Not that."

"Keep....."

"I just don't want to benefit you by playing with this kind of feeling."

Aditya rubbed Dona's head and ruffled her hair.

"Yes, don't think macem. I love you, so I'll do anything for you...."

Dona hugged Aditya.

"Dit, to be honest. I love you too, but I can't give you more than friendship at least for now. I'm comfortable with you, but I really want Gilang to disappear completely in my heart. After that I will be able to give up my heart for you completely."

"I will wait until that day comes." Reply Aditya.

************

Dona went into the room, laying on her soft bed. The shadow of Gilang's face that looked sad, crossed his mind. Dona then picks up her phone, opens the blue app. Surf there to find entertainment or news that is being updated today.

A notification is coming. Request to date an account named Aditya. Dona closed her eyes for a moment and breathed a deep breath. After that he pressed the confirmation sign.

'This is the best.'

It did not take long, there were already many likes and comments that perched on that status.

[What? You serious?] Ayu's account comments.

...[.How's gilang?] Ask Billy's account....

5 Minutes later, an account by the name of Raka commented.

^^^[Finally, you did it Aditya. Congrats for both of you, good luck until the guarantee. For Gilang, don't be mad. Before the yellow janur curved, Dona entitled to make his choice.]^^^

Dona clucked resentfully reading the comments Raka wrote. With the ease of Raka marking his name and also Gilang and Aditya.

'Ready to be bullied tomorrow' Dona thought.

Seriate.....
