TWENTY
Pardon me!

As Rangga said last night, now I leave with Ms. Ida. Along the way it was a temptation that Mother Ida threw at me. It feels like it makes me careless. Lucky not long after that we arrived. And I ran away to see Salma, Rangga, and Abdul.

"Nlade!" Seeing my presence, he immediately hugged me tightly. I also reply not to lose tightly.

"Sorry Na, I wasn't there next to you last night"

"It's okay Sal. I'm okay, too"

Whether they want to give time to me and Salma or they are tired of seeing the melow-mellow scene so I don't know. What is clear is that Rangga and Abdul went ahead of us to the office.

"Oh yes Sal, last night Alif was angry?" I asked a little timidly after our embrace came off.

"angry? It is not Na. Mas Alif is the person who does not like to get angry if there is a problem"

"Why is his face so red?"

"That, Mas Alif does not like to be angry. But I like to hold it. So if his face is red that means he is holding his anger" Alif's self-control is good as well.

"In order not to be exposed to others?" Stiffest.

"Yes" Salma held my hand to head for the office together.

"Emm... Last night Gea was next to Alif?" This is what makes me curious about half the life from last night. Ask Rangga even he turned back nanya.

"Oooh Gea, he was last night given a spiritual shower with Mas Alif. And it turns out Na, he also admitted that the incident when you lost your way in the market because he was the one who deliberately went to ninggalin you" hmmm.

"Can't that be Sal? There are people who hate me so much" I let out a tired sigh. Then I sat myself in the chair.

"Everyone likes someone who hates. You can't force everyone to like you, there must be people who don't like you. The opposite"

"Yaudah, I'll go home. Sorry-sorry to finish the business" advised Abdul.

"Yes-yes, I do plan to go home later. I know how, a day without me you must miss" I dress with confidence.

Not to mention, after I said that Rangga immediately stood up.

"jinny"

"Where are you going?" Ask Salma.

"Toilet. Want to vomit" wahh bad this kid! Mana Abdul followed suit as well.

Basic Rangga! Ice cubes suck!

Along the way, I could only calm myself by breathing and exhaling regularly. I don't know why I'm nervous when I want to go home gini. Even though staying to see Gea continues to say sorry it's over. Maybe I'm afraid of it again if I look at his face. The innkeeper remembered the stifling words from his mouth last night.

"Udah, it's okay" as if knowing what I felt, he strengthened me with a hand.

"Thank you Sal"

"Assalamu'alaikum!" My words and Salma were compact.

After the door was opened, my body immediately staggered back because Puput and Sita who were without cue immediately embraced me.

"I'm sorry Na, last night we just kept quiet for nothing" oh, so because they feel guilty.

"Yes-yes I'm sorry, that's it! What's so crying about? Rich little boy" I said to calm them down.

But they ignored me, and still cried while hugging me. Others also hugged each other. So teletubbies.

Hmm.. Where is Gea by the way? He had not seen his nose.

"Wahh there's a hug-hugging event, don't you talk about it? Brother also wants" not yet to let Revelation get close, he has got a blow from behind. The real culprit is Radit.

"You can look for opportunities in narrow-mindedness!" And the one who was hit can only grin not clearly.

"Remember the way home apparently, I think it's been digondol same genderuwo" I stared cynically Rendi's face. His new best friend was sad instead of being entertained and ridiculed.

"So if there's a problem, don't mention the story to your brother. Don't run away from the rich semalem. You're worried"

"Yuk!" All pretended to be vomiting with the recess of Revelation.

This child remains stubborn! I was told not to use adek brother just that.

"Since when was it the same Nala brother adek an?" Radit, too, had his joke Revelation taken seriously.

"Casual times Dit! Just kidding!" Haha. Revelations are only faced with intimidation from Radit has been immediately rich.

"Part of disdain Yu! Ngaca noh! Rich face so no pantes-pantesnya called brother!"

"What do they call dong Tik?" Said Rere.

"Call me!" Crazy waahh! We all laughed when we heard Tika's answer.

Ow hell! My stomachache.

My friends are magical. Very clever to change the atmosphere, which was melow so rame like this. Yes, even a dime, but it can make us laugh broke.

"Oh yeah, you know where I ran away from, Mother Ida?" My curious.

Proudly they pointed at a guy who was none other than Fahmi. He with his intelligence explained how he knew where I was.

"First, we're only a week in this village. We have a little acquaintance. The second is by researching the possibilities of people known by you Na. There was Pak Karto as the main candidate, but it felt impossible because Nala was not too close to Pak Karto. He must have hesitated if he wanted to stay there" wahh! Very good thinking this Fahmi.

"Then there was his family Mr. KaDes who said friends, his son was close to you. But once I found out that Mr. Kades' son was a grown man, it made it even less likely that you would stay there"

Yes lah. That's definitely it.

"And the last candidate I got from Salma. He said that you know one of the teachers who teach in SD. She is also a young woman. Automatically your choice must fall into him" Fahmi's brain contained what? How to be smart gini. Where all the explanations make sense again.

"Why can you guess that I'm staying at someone's house? What if I'm from sleeping somewhere?" Ask again.

"That's easy! Said Puput and Sita, you came out just wearing casual clothes without a jacket. And outside when the night must be very cold. You also do not have HP. For a well-educated person you would think thousands of times about the origin of sleeping outside with the risk of cold coupled with other dangers that may come"

Prok! Prok! Prok!

We all immediately gave a thunderous clap as well as two thumbs up for Fahmi. Besides being a doctor, he is also talented as a detective.

It's great!

I didn't think I had a friend with a brain this cool.

Then from my seat facing the window, I could see Gea walking with Iren. Looks like they're from the stall, because their hands carry grocery bags. Maybe he was surprised to see all gathered in one room, plus there was me here. I saw his hands trembling. Maybe I'm afraid I'm out of control like last night.

"Well, this is the one we've been waiting for too"

"Hi everyone" looks really awkward.

Alif told him to sit down. Then began the cooling event of both sides. But in my opinion, if the rame is like this so can't be intense talk. I finally stood up to take Gea. Then go to them.

"Sorry yes! If the mediation rame-rame gini is not good in my opinion. I'm the same Gea talking outside. Just the two" my eyes coded Alif for approval. Apparently Alif nodded his head in a sign he agreed.

Without further ado I took Gea out. But my steps stopped when Rendi's voice interrupted us.

"Don't get a claw!" I turned around immediately.

"If anyone wants to scratch, I've always wanted to tear you in the face Ren!" I replied lightly, who was given a laugh by friends.

I went out of the house thinking it was the right place to talk face to face. Maybe Gea knows that my brain is looking for the right place. He immediately pulled my hand towards the back of the house and pulled out an ontel bike.

These bikes have been around since we first arrived. Only rarely do people use them, because there is only one. And we often come out rame-rame.

"This is Na. Looking for a place outside"

"Hmm. okay. Can you ride a bike?" She shook her head.

Okay fix! I'm the one who's hitchhiking.

Lucky little Gea his body. Not very heavy.

Throughout the journey we were still quiet. No one wants to start a conversation. All quietly enjoy the scenery as well as the breeze that hit the body. Understandably, I pedaled this bike towards the rice field area. I think I found a suitable place. Then I took Gea down. And we walk on the rice field to go to an empty hut. Maybe the owner has gone home because it's late afternoon.

After finding the right position I just dared to start the conversation.

"Sorry, Ge! I was released yesterday. Must hurt huh?"

"Maybe the pain is not how much I have done to you. I'm also sorry because from the beginning I've been friendly with you Na"

"What is the reason Ge? I want to know" actually I already know from Sita. He said, people se-FK know that Gea was chasing Radit. He must be jealous because Radit likes to stick with me.

But hearing the answer directly from the person must be better than the opinions of others.

"I'm jealous of Na as you are. From the beginning we were brought together in a group, I saw Radit's attraction to you. Even though you're funny, but it's annoying to see Radit always trying to get your heart. While I who had tried to pull his heart was not glimpsed at all"

"Sorry" I said sincerely. Aren't me and Gea the same in love? Experiencing love with one hand.

"No need to apologize, Na. I was wrong. Too blinded by love. Until last night, when Radit blatantly told me his dislike. Only then did I realize that she was an impossibility for me" without me expecting Gea to cry.

I hugged her from the side and patted her shoulder gently. Give her strength to be patient.

If according to his words, it means he has put his heart to Radit for many years. It must have been destroyed when it was rejected outright. To break all the effort he has done.

"Patience to Ge. If he is your soul mate, he will be united. If not, then Radit is not the best for you" I said to calm him down.

Instead of being calm, he instead added crying loudly by tightening his embrace. But let it be. Let him cry out all his will. As tight as possible during the ink she is quiet alone. I hope, with tears coming out will also come the burden that he has felt all along. Hopefully he can be sincere to forget about a Radit. And hopefully, he can be a better Gea going forward.
