TRAPPED IN META LOVE
Heartache

Nearly a week of 3rd grade students are preoccupied with the graduation exam. Similarly to meta, almost this week he really focused on studying and preparing to apply for college in Germany. Meta really wants to get the perfect score in the graduation exam.

Studying in Germany was his next choice, although meta knew Rendi from the beginning did not agree if they were far apart.

The last days in 3rd grade, Meta just wanted to focus on the exam, even almost this month he never went for a walk or just ate together with Rendi. Meta does want to be a nerd, on the sidelines of his break time meta also uses a lot of time to go to the school library. Although sometimes actually Rendi protests about it.

"Meta, can I talk to you?"

The meta-view that was originally fixed on the book came to a halt because someone had shocked it.

"What are you talking about?"

Meta frowned looking at Ardian who was already standing in front of him. Because since the events of Rendi singing songs on the bus when outing Class yesterday Ardian never disturb the meta with his letters again.

"But not here!"

"I'm busy here!" meta cuek.

"This time only, after that I won't bother you!"

Meta thought for a moment, then confirmed Ardian. It just so happened that Rendi was not in class. Meta doesn't want any misunderstanding if Rendi finds out she's meeting with Ardian.

Meta follows Ardian from behind.

"Where are you going?" asked meta, but got no answer from Ardian.

Ardian took the meta in the back building of the school, a place that was quite quiet even then no one had come to such a place.

"Well, why are we here?" ask meta suspiciously.

"I want to talk to you!"

"Yes, by the way!"

"Met, I like you! You know since 1st grade I've loved you! Even almost every day I try to string beautiful words in my letter so that you can give my love!"

"You also know that I've been dating Rendi!"

"I know, and that's what makes me sick to you. I want you to love me!"

"Sorry Ardian, I really can't!"

Meta was about to leave the place, but Ardian pulled him and tried to hug him.

"Don't you crazy Ardian! Let go of me or I scream!" meta says thrashing.

"Just yell, no one will be horrified!"

Meta was even more frightened by the reckless Ardian.

"Please!!"

Meta hoped that his screams would be heard by others, hoping that someone would help him at this time. I don't know why no one was there.

Rendi tried to smother the screaming meta's mouth, while the meta tried to release from Ardian's grip that was so strong.

Meta was really scared back then, while Ardian was still gripping the meta, trying to smell the meta. Even the sleeves of the meta uniform were torn because of Ardian's hand grip.

Brukkkkk

Ardian suddenly fell down by the punch that had just landed on his cheek.

"You don't papa met!"

Meta hugged Devan spontaneously out of fear.

"I'm afraid of Van" said Meta in tears.

"You don't have to be afraid, I'm here!" devan said replying to meta's hug.

Devan wiped the meta tears and gave her hoodie jacket to wear on the meta to cover her torn clothes earlier.

"You wait here!" devan said while stroking meta hair.

Devan pulls Ardian who was already limp from the punch earlier and Devan lands the punch back to Ardian.

"How dare you touch the meta! I'm not going to let go of Lo!" devan said full of anger.

"Van already, enough Van!"

Brukkkkk

Ardian fell again by Devan's punch bertubi.

"Gue doesn't have the same business!" shouted Ardian holding his cheek which was now battered.

"What Lo said! Now it's my business, once again Lo touch the meta again, because Lo's the same me!"

Rendi clutched the collar of Ardian's uniform once again intending to hit him again.

Plakkkk

"Damn it!!! Lo apain meta till he's like that!"

Rendi who suddenly came pulled Ardian and beat him mercilessly.

"Rendi is Rend!!" yell meta broke them.

Hearing the meta voice whose cry became so-so Rendi also stopped beating Ardian and approached the meta.

"You don't have to, baby!" said Rendi while hugging meta.

"I'm not papa Rend! Good thing there was Devan who let me know!"

"Makasih Van nolongin meta," Rendi said at a glance to Devan.

Hugging the meta, Rendi carried the meta away from it.

Devan was still staring there seeing Rendi hugging meta in front of his eyes. Devan could only clench his hands, holding back the pain in his heart from seeing that.

Devan pulls up Ardian's shirt again, intending to hit him again.

"Awas lo dare-courageous macem-macem same meta again!"

"Hahahaha Devan! Why do you remember the girl who has gone with another guy!! Your fate is like mine, equally dicuekin same meta!!" said Ardian was left with his power mocking Devan.

"Diem Lo!"

Devan clenched his hand to hit Ardian again, but he was still trying to hold back his emotions seeing Ardian who had already fallen limp, and he would rather just leave Ardian there.

********

Devan sits on the school rooftop alone, looking up at the blue sky with a strong wind. Devan was still thinking about the words from Ardian earlier.

"What did Ardian say!! Why am I still a little girl who has obviously gone with other guys!!" devan said to himself.

"It's so stupid to Van!" shouts devan.

Right now it feels like Devan is frustrated with himself.

"It really hurts to see you as her!"

Devan took the phone in his pants pocket. Opened a meta social media post that clearly displayed a meta photo with Rendi time in Singapore yesterday.

"Why do you prefer her meta?" pekik Rendi himself.

Right now Devan really wants to vent the vexation that is in his heart alone. Even with his emotions Devan hit the wall several times until he did not realize his hand was injured.

"I love you meta!!!" yell Devan again.

Devan screamed loudly and blew it all. No one could have heard her screams.

Devan held all his wounds, maybe even the wounds on his hands were not worth his heart injury at the moment.

Devan was downcast lethargic looking at the meta photos with Rendi. Even Devan sees that meta is really happy with Rendi at the moment.

"I should be the one next to you Met!" pekik Rendi himself.

All this time Devan tried to hide his feelings with meta, trying to act as if nothing happened in front of the meta when his heart felt sore seeing all that.

"Why should Lo go with Rendi to Singapore Met? Why?"

"I'm really sick meta saw you equal Rendi!!"

As if talking to the wind that blows Devan evaporates all his feelings.
