Your name is Secret
Malu

Niken almost fell asleep on the bus if only someone hadn't nudged her arm. Niken turned his head and found Rayya already sitting next to him.

"Don't sleep, the bus already wants to walk away after your house is missed."

Niken exhales violently and chooses not to answer Rayya's words. He was sleepy and the children from Budi Utomo school had not filled the bus. The bus cannot run if it is not fully loaded.

Niken rested her head on the windowpanes and closed her eyes.

"Congratulations?" Rayya asked and nudged back Niken's arm.

"Yes." Yeah." Niken straightened her body after the bus slowly started to run. Niken saw his shoelace come off and he bent down to tie the loose shoelace. That's when he glanced at Rayya's arm that was above the owner's lap.

True said Adila, Rayya's skin color is very clear.

After finishing his shoelaces, Niken re-enforced his body and looked at Rayya's face.

Again Adila's right, this guy's milk bath time huh?

Feeling stared at by Niken, Rayya also turned her head. Which makes Niken confused to be directed where his eyes so Niken still fixated and still staring at Rayya.

"Is there anything to talk about?" It was then that Niken turned and clearly saw a confused look on his face. Niken was confused as to what to answer. Niken did not want to be found admiring Rayya's clean skin.

"Hmmm...." Niken rubbed his nape and thought hard what answer he would give. Rayya is still waiting for Niken's answer and still looking at him makes Niken more confused and groggy half-dead.

"This time I'll pay." Thankfully the bus ride by to collect the fare made Niken suddenly remember he still had a debt with Rayya.

Rayya just smiled watching Niken rush out the money and handed it to the bus.

"You're funny" Rayya said suddenly.

"Huh?" Niken looked at Rayya as soon as she heard that.

Rayya again just smiled. Niken thought Rayya's smile was cheap. Not wanting to get stuck into the clutter, Niken took the initiative to open a chat.

"Dhani's number is asking too?"

Rayya turned her head and showed a confused look, "Dhani who?"

Replace Niken who showed a confused face, "Dhani, my vice-chairman who yesterday went to a meeting with me."

"Oh, same guy you are. Why would I ask for her number?"

Niken was confused himself. He felt he had chosen the wrong material. "Keep brother asked for my number for what? For class and OSIS, right?"

"If I ask for your number for OSIS I can just ask from the class data do not need to bother directly nyamperin you. But baby, you don't have a phone when I ask for your number for something...."

"What need?" Niken was curious because Rayya hung up her sentence.

"Secret." Rayya laughed seeing Niken immediately put on a flat face upon hearing her answer.

"House you have seen."

Niken got off the bus without saying goodbye because she still felt hyacinth with Rayya while Rayya followed Niken's departure with her eyes and did not forget the smile was still on her lips.

Niken was busy listening to the radio at a loud volume when Aunt Runita knocked on her bedroom door. Many times the door was knocked but there was no answer. Make Aunt Runita just open the door of her room that turned out to be unlocked. He shook his head to see Niken lying on his stomach in his bed while humming a little to the rhythm of the song.

"Movie!" Aunt Runita nudged Niken's legs making Niken jumped in shock.

"Auntie knocked on your room door repeatedly but you weren't. Apparently because of this." Aunt Runita shrinks the volume of the radio and even turns it off.

"What the hell is Tan? I'm going to sleep." Niken put his body back together.

"Wake up first. Accompany aunt to the house, have some business."

"Himself Tan. I'm forbidden to go out in the afternoon." Niken reasoned that actually got a squeak on his tantric forehead.

"Who is forbidden? Mama you have no message to Auntie, you are forbidden to go out during the day like this. It's 4 p.m., noon from where?"

Before answering her tantic question, Niken took the time to glance at the wall clock that was stuck on the wall of her room. Right, it's 4 in the afternoon.

"Indonesian Child Protection Commission Aunty, which is ngarang."

"That's your base. Come on, meet Aunt. Change of clothes." Aunt Runita immediately moved without hearing the protest from Niken.

"I'm gonna take a shower first Tan."

"You don't have to take a shower. Take a shower if we go home from there."

"Darling Tan, change clothes but don't shower."

"Didn't say much."

Niken misuh-misuh so up at home that he said Aunt Runita's friend. The distance of his house is close, only about 10 minutes from Niken's house but the heat is nauzubillah. Now it's 4 o'clock past but it looks like the heat won't stop by.

Aunt Runita knocked on the door of that open house. It is not polite he said if you just go in even though the door of the house is open and Aunt Runita knows the host. Niken glanced at the black car salted next to the house. There was a motorbike parked there. Looks like the owner of the house diligently gardening seen from the many ranks of flower pots filled the yard. Before long appeared a woman who immediately welcomed their arrival cheerfully and let them in. Riska felt no stranger to that beautiful face.

"A really new afternoon here?"

"The weather is hot. It was still hot in the afternoon."

"Yes, the weather has not been very friendly lately. Hot afternoon tretar night even ujan. My son gets sick easily."

"Where is Randy. How do you not look?"

"Deploy her grandmother to the store."

Their conversation continued to tell me what Niken did not understand. Because it felt only used as a display, eyes Niken roam around observing the photos on the wall. Until arriving at the family photo, Niken like to know one of them.

"Sir, Auntie is staying tight. You're here first." Aunt Runita moved while patting Niken's thigh, making Niken jump and cut off the view from the photo he was watching.

Niken just nodded left to go to a room by Aunt Runita and her friend. Because honestly Niken is still curious about the family photo. After the death of Aunt Runita, Niken moved and saw the picture frame closer. There are 4 people in the photo, a father, mother, daughter who looks like Aunt Runita's friend earlier and another who stole Niken's attention from the first time he saw the photo. The boy, who is about 9 years old, looks similar....

"Hey! Lo who?" Niken turned to hear the call and immediately faced the picture frame back because he was embarrassed to see the sighting plastered in front of him.

"Loh, Niken? You're actually Niken, right? Why are you here?" Rayya approached Niken even to the point of touching Niken's shoulder so that Niken would face him, making Niken more embarrassed and more lowered his face.

"I ii iiya I'm Niken. Ka ka brother can't do me deket-deket or at least wear clothes first?" Rayya lowered her gaze and it was then that she realized that she was wearing only a yellow boxer and no shirt on her body.

"God willing." Rayya immediately ran to her room. His face was red. He must be ashamed. Niken who just look embarrassed especially Rayya who experienced.

Niken exhaled the breath she had unconsciously held. Rayya's body is like the body of a child in general Junior High School. Niken is an only child and has never seen a man's body in person unless his father is of course embarrassed not overbearing. He looked back at the family photo. It's fitting that Niken felt familiar with the face of the boy, it turns out that Rayya's photo as a child. From small alone already handsome deserve to have big shape so.
