Meli who saw Ray go straight
following Ray in silence, he continued to follow Ray until Ray's death
stopping at the corner of the hall, Meli can only stop right behind a tree around the front yard.
Ray reached into his pants pocket and took a key that was none other than the key of the room in front of him. He opened the door and rushed into the room to clean himself up
and prepare for the magrib prayer that will soon arrive.
Meli sat down the grass right in front
ray's room, he's not ready to go into Ray's room, he's afraid of it
surprised Ray because he could suddenly enter the room when he was key.
Ray came out of his room carrying
her toiletries then passed away going to the bathroom that was not

Meli rubbed the glass of the photo and
unconsciously he said. “Keren”Meli swiping photos Ray, Meli feel like
knowing Ray but whether right or wrong he does not know for sure. Before long the door opened and Meli then saw the incoming Fad mas carrying a large enough package no matter what the contents were. Meli got up and walked towards Mas Fad to find out what the contents in the package are.
“Cuaci?”pekik Meli when looking at the contents
the package that has been opened by Mas Fad. Mas Fad then put some kuaci in a jar that is quite large.

sweetness. “Ngapain you here?”ray asked who blew up the door and walked a few steps from where he had stood before.

by yourself”answer Ray relax.
Meli who heard Ray's reply felt
upset but according to the news he consumed alcohol. “Om, I am not
ever drank alcohol at all my whole life”Meli defended himself, because
he feels innocent of what happened to him.
“Certainly, why did his test results prove
if there is a high enough alcohol content in your blood?”question Ray

“Allahu Akbar's..... Allahu Akbar” voice
azan reverberated with great melodious and loud, Ray and Mas Fad immediately rushed to the mosque to perform the congregational maghrib prayer.
Meli's still in Ray's room, she
confused to give up or keep trying, one side he does not want to disturb
the calmness of others because he was so not like to be disturbed but on the other hand he needed help to find out what really happened to his accident because Meli felt his antics was not carelessness nya.

“Old time does not pray, kangen yes Allah”,“When servants can return to life and do activities like normal back”Meli staring at the sky while talking monologue.
Meli glanced towards the wall clock
already showing at 05.35 minutes, Meli got up from her seat and stepped up
out of the room.
“Astagfirullah”ucap Ray who was shocked to see

“Mau why you”Ray stepped forward
while opening the door, Meli automatically re-entered the room and sat on the edge of an empty Fad mattress.

she folded her hands to the front of her chest.
“So, you can't follow
I”ujar Ray who was ready and stepped towards the door then stopped and looked back, then Meli who was walking towards the door was planning
to see and follow Ray in silence.
“Do not, beware”Ray commemorates Meli again as she raises her index finger and passes away.
“Do not, beware”Meli follows the talk and
ray's style he just saw. “Emang why? There are rules, anyways
cave is a spirit so free”Meli put his feet out of the room and walk after Ray who can still be seen by both eyes.

just look at each other and shake his head.
“Loh, where are you going mas?”ask Ray who

in order not to be caught by Ray, Meli sat on the backmost empty chair quietly and casually. “There is breakfast with banana chips, hahaha”.
“Udah, Mas thank you”pap some people answered the question mas Fad. Mas Fad lowered his hand and opened the banana chips and ate them while reading his book. Maas Fad turned to Ray who focused on reading books and then thrust his banana chips at Ray.

Meli who had since noticed the situation in the classroom just fell silent. “What class is it?”murmured, because of curiosity Meli stood up from her seat and stepped towards the bench occupied by Uki which was her position in the second row from behind.
“Waduh, so many more readings

“Ah, bosen”ucap Meli then

Ray saw Meli who was laughing at the

“Eyy, the tablets, the time does not look”ucap
Meli bergertenggatan with Mr. Dedy who is not a pro in the game. “Wah, nih” answer keygumam Meli when looking at a paper on the table Mr. Dedy.
He approached the middle Ray
thinking the right answer to answer the problem he is working on. Meli touched Ray's shoulder slowly. “Om, ,
I know the answer number seven”ujar Meli smiled meaningfully at Ray. Ray just glanced for a moment and returned to focus trying not to pay attention to what was said and done by Meli.
An upset Meli returns to Mr. Dedy's desk
and seeing a polkadot patterned boarding house in blue, he touched the boarding house and wanted to open the boarding house but did not so because Mr. Dedy had taken it first.
Meli looked back at Ray
still thinking of the right answer to fill his jawban sheet. Meli approached Ray again and sat at an empty table right next to Ray. “Om, I really know the key to his answer nih”. “Kalo om want me to love, but there are terms”.
“No need”answer Ray cold, mas Fad the
being next to Ray turned to look at Ray confusedly and then
realizing that Ray was being followed by the spirit, Fad returned to folus working on his problem.
“Ish, this is why tell nolongin
people are very difficult”Meli spoke with annoyance then returned to the teacher's desk to approach Mr. Dedy who is now writing something on his paper.
“Aihh, SOS now waah, guru gabut nih”Meli was shocked when he found out what Mr. Dedy was writing on the sheet of paper.
Meli sat back at the table, Mr. Dedy, who landed right in Ray's position.
I watched Ray seriously and
focus on his exams. “Nih sweet guy anyway, but severe cold bang”batin Meli
looking at Ray, he shook his head and started walking in class looking at everyone who was focusing on taking his exams.
“If you are done can be collected at
my desk, ya”ujar sir Dedy while walking out of class.
”Good, pak”answere all students who
a quick look at Mr. Dedy out of class.
Meli saw Mr. Dedy out
directly approaching the chair that had been occupied by Mr. Dedy, Meli landed her buttocks casually when she saw the sharp gaze of Ray who saw her.
“Ray, the number seventeen is piye
after all, do not understand me”mas Fad poked Ray's arm with a little pressed to be felt by the owner of the arm, Ray who was staring intently at Meli then turned to look at the Fad mas who was beside him.
“I also haven't replied to that mas”answerp
Ray slowly, hearing that made Fad frustrated because of so many problems, number seventeen is the most difficult.
“Aduh, continue how this”gumam mas Fad
while pulling a little hair that is not much. Ray saw that Fad was just shaking his head.
“Susah ya”ujar Meli who is now in
the teacher's desk noticed all Ray and Mas Fad were discussing.
Ray just glanced flat then came back
focus on what he still can't answer. Meli who saw Ray's attitude pursed her lips slightly and returned
see some of the documents that are in
mr. Dedy's desk.
“Wahh, nih”pekik Meli answer key
make Ray directly stare at her and turn to the paper that is being touched
by Meli.
“Don't Ray”batin Ray trying to
not inedible by the lure of Meli which is very tempting for her.
Meli who saw Ray again trying
to ignore her was feeling desperate and upset. “Oke, wait aja”gumam
Meli.
“Sial, the time is only twenty minutes
again”batin Ray after seeing his watch. Meli who had been watching Ray, now she saw the unease in Ray.
“Seventeen, twenty-two, twenty
five, twenty-seven, three.”.Meli sees Ray's answer sheet that is still unfilled and stopped because Ray confronted her with his big and stocky arms. “Mau ga nih”tawar Meli again unyielding to Ray.
Ray thought hard because of the time
it will not be enough if he rejects Meli's offer most likely he will not fill all the answers that have not been filled. Meli who saw Ray's expression just smiled while continuing to pay attention to Ray who thought hard about Meli's offer.
“Okay, I'll help you but only three times”ujar Ray turned a little head towards Meli who was sitting on an empty table right next to Ray. Meli who heard that was immediately aghast from her seat.
“But, why only three times?”ask Meli
with a confused and happy expression.
“Yes, I just can't answer three
about” Ray's answer makes Meli who was very happy now reduced because her opportunity to get Ray's help becomes limited. “You don't?”Ray made his offer on Meli slowly like a whisper.
Meli nodded in agreement. “From no
helped at all, already cape-cape”batin Meli. Then Meli set her foot back to the table pack Dedy and memorize the answer to three numbers that have not been missed by Ray.
“Number twenty-three, a, number four
twenty-one, c, number forty-five, d”ujar Meli gave the answer that he saw on the key paper answer that was on the table Mr. Dedy. Ray immediately filled his answer sheet with what was mentioned by Meli.
After the time is running out, Ray put the question paper and answers on the table Mr. Dedy, Ray breathed a sigh of relief because he could do all the problems even though he had to pay by helping Meli
3 Times as much.
Actually since he was left by Mr. Dedy
outside of the classroom, many students ask each other questions and exchange answers exactly
while still sitting in school only this time more calm and structured. Mas Fad can also solve all his problems by getting some answers from Sahat and Uki who are not far from his place.
“Udah all yes”pak Dedy in
carry a bottle of cold drink that has stayed half.
“Already, Pak”answer all compact students
sraya gave a smile of sumringah and relief respectively.
“Good, you guys can go back to the place
each”ucap pak Dedy tidied up all the sheets on his table and then put them into a map of brown color. “Remember, the day after you guys replay the theme of his writing ya”pak Dedy reminds all students.
“Good, pak”ans all compact students.
*****
Beautiful afternoon, orange streaks
it has covered most of the clear blue sky. Meli was enjoying the twilight on the field while seeing many people who were exercising in the afternoon including Mas Fad and Ray. After the adventures of Ray and Mas Fad go somewhere but Meli does not follow her and chooses to remain in Ray's room and Mas Fad.
“Huh huh huh, I was Ray already afternoon
also this is”ujar mas Fad who sat limp with breath ngosan after
four rounds of a fairly wide field.
“Yaudah mas, shower gih later
replace”ansi Ray who is still cool with his restok tool.
“Kuak terribly ya”gumam Meli still staring
straight towards Ray who is doing his restok easily. “Eyy, cave
thinking what dah”Meli shook his head to deny what he muttered
kan.
To be honest, Meli never dated,
he's been single for twenty years and that's not a problem,
he was happy with his singles. Even so, it does not mean that it does not
attracted to men just the opposite but because there is an inner wound about women's relationships and men he does not want to be in a relationship.
Meli finds out that her papa
betraying the mother until her mother so often sick not to mention when she found out she had a different sister mother with her, at the time it was too painful to remember how her papa never gave her affection for her mama and just focused on the company that was indeed at the time almost bankrupt, she said, as well as his second wife who is none other than Lani, stepmother
Meli at the moment.
Meli moved from her seat
I decided to go back to Ray's room and Fad's. Ray saw Meli go
just silently looked at her until she was invisible to both pairs of eyes.
“What happened to him, he,
if you think he is not a bad person or evil”batin Ray while drinking
mineral water that he had prepared before.
Shortly after, Ray decided to take a shower because the sun was getting drowning
maghrib will be here soon. Ray's step stopped when he saw Meli who was playing water in a small shower that was not too big but beautiful when viewed by the eye.
“Ngapain dia”gumam Ray slowly
then step up to Meli who is still fun playing water and see the surrounding bamboo plants.
“Eh, om”Meli was shocked to see Ray already beside her staring at her without expression and words, “Om, why here?”tanya Meli is still looking up her head to be able to menap sweet face Ray is too high.
“I should have asked”tukas Ray
a little cold and Meli immediately changed the direction of his view to the shower with a picture of horses. “Oya, how old are you?”ask Ray who made the
meli's head turned and then stood up from her seat.
“My life?”Meli pointed herself to
ensure.
Ray was just glaring in response, Meli
who saw it again turned his gaze toward the pool that was in
under the horse shower. “I'm twenty years old” replied Meli after a long pause.
Ray nods his head “Kalo
that is, do not call me om”ucap Ray who is now staring at Meli who is also staring at her.
“Emang why?”asked Meli innocently, Ray who heard that just wasted his lazy breath.
“I'm twenty-five years”Ray replied
while looking at the koi fish pond that is under the horse shower.
“Oh, keep me calling her what
dong?”meli's question got a cold stare from Ray. “Sa.
don't know what to call other than om”Meli's words are a little laid out when looking
the snow Ray.
“Mas”
“Hah?”Less clear meli
speech Ray.
“Mas, you can call me mas”connect
Ray was still staring at the group of fish who were busy swimming.
“Mas?”Meli felt shudder for some reason
when saying that word to call Ray, but all this time he called
Mahendra, the kaka by the name of mas and it's common that there are no goosebumps
and shakes in his heart. “Why should mas?”
“My color is Javanese so it is more comfortable
if called mas”ansi Ray relaxed
“Ray, no shower?, even contemplating”tegur
mas Fad who is neat using a suit for congregational prayer.
“Oh, yes mas”answer Ray who later
go to hurry up and clean yourself after the sport.
“Ngapain to you?”ask Fad when
Ray arrives in front of her
“No papa mas, Just want to see the fish”answerp
Ray with origin.
“Fish only diat”kata mas Fad seraya
looking at the fish pond with the horse shower that was stopped by Ray.
“Ngeliat what mas?”Ray asked when he saw
both eyebrows belong to Fad bertaut.
“That's a statue of a horse”mas Fad replied
without taking his eyes off the horse statue that was drawing water from the
side of his mouth.
“Patung aja k diliatin”Ray reply
the words of Mas Fad who earlier stepped away to do activities
who had earlier delayed, Fad heard it just stared at Ray briefly and looked back at the horse statue.
“Good its statue, cool that
bikin” murmured her and then went to her room to wait for Maghrib's time to arrive.
*****
After Maghrib, Fad and Ray return to his room. Mas Fad saw instagram and chat with the lover while Ray only read books on his mattress accompanied by Meli who sat under Ray's mattress while holding his palms on both sides her cheeks are pretty chubby.
“Om”call Meli slowly. “Eh, mas means”ubah Meli when he saw Ray looking at him as if commemorating Meli.
Meli again felt a sigh in her heart that she herself was also confused why, she considered maybe this because she had just first called the word 'mas' to someone other than Mahendra and Evan.
“Come, he said he wanted to help me”connect
Meli after the pause. Ray took a quick glance at Meli and went back to reading her German-language book.
“What should I help?”ask Ray
who still focuses on his reading books.
“No Ray”timpal mas Fad with
