“Alhena Mommy nanyain” said Althara on the phone while I was reading my novel on the bed.
“Say Mother greetings from I”
“Not say hello Al, Mother nanyain you when to make more cake he said”
“Hahaha yes I will have my school holidays there”
“Mother make new recipe”
“O yes ?”
“Mother says later if you want to make a cake say Mother first let not fail again”
“Loh it's you who's wrong”
I laughed considering what happened last week at Althara's house. When she and I were preparing for a surprise party for her Mother's birthday. We confidently try to make Cake at Althara's house with the recipes we learn on the website. But all so failed, because the timer that was put Althara in the oven too long, and the taste of the cake was so sweet.
“Iya eat it later again have to say first Bunda”
“And we want to give you a surprise story, how can we say Bunda”
“Kata Mommy will be okay later he pretended not to know”
Althara kept making me laugh with her jokes.
“Oh yes tomorrow back from school anter me to the bookstore ya” pinta I remember my reading books have started to run out.
“Okee, means I have to prepare myself”
“For?”
“You if in the bookstore you like not to know the time”
“Emang yes?” My question chuckled at my behavior which always made him wait for me for so long to comb through all the novels in the bookstore.
“We'll see tomorrow, how few you can go out in the bookstore”
“Don't on the timer so dong, yes sorry, I can't find a book carelessly, later if the book I buy turns out to be not in accordance nyampe home how?”
“Haha yes, yes you slept”
“You are sleepy?”
“Emang should wait sleep first yes to sleep?”
“Yes no, but I still want to callan”
“Alhena is already malem, do not until tomorrow I am late to pick you up school”
“What is Althara, sometimes you have to make a mistake haha” said I who even made his silence.
“Hallo” said me, making sure that Althara is still connected.
“I never want to make a mistake Al” his words make me jerk.
“Kok you take seriously anyway?”
“Ngga, I never want to make any mistakes to you, I never want to make you disappointed Alhena”
“You never let me down Althara”
“I know that, because indeed I never wrong” said again confident.
I turned my eyeballs around, because Althara could shock me like that.
“Iya yes emang Althara never make salah”
“Hahaha”
“Ya I want to sleep”
“Good sleep Alhena”
“Good sleep Althara”
“I Love You”
“Iya good night” ignorant I do not pay attention to the word I Love You.
“I Love You” says again
Then I hung up on her. I managed it by not saying 'I Love You too as usual' I want to see her angry.
I picked up the phone while holding back a laugh.
“What? Said tell me to sleep fast”
“I Love You Alhena” says without touching me.
“Haha Yes, I Love You too Althara”. Then he hung up
I shook my head with Althara's behavior which always made me smile happily. My love is growing every day because of the way he treats me. She's my first love.
The next day at the bookstore. I kept combing through every book in every hallway of Novel. Althara took her camera to the bookstore at the time. He kept taking pictures of me without asking me to get in style, he said let him photograph me candidly. He tried to practice his proficiency in photographing his objects.
I ignored Althara and kept looking for interesting novels.
“Al try to see this deh” said I showed the back of the novel book. And read to her.
“Polar. A star that has become a shaft, surrounded by other stars around it, and he is one of the stars that never moves anywhere. And you know this ga polaris is also called.”
“Drhuva” cut her off when I haven't finished explaining to her.
I frowned at me.
“Kok you know?”
“Dhruva means not moving, and the star that surrounds Dhruva is called Brahmi which means round”
he made me fixated with his knowledge of Drhuva's story that became my favorite.
“You know, without me knowing I feel Brahmi and you are Drhuva. I always revolve around you and can't go anywhere other than being around you”
I laughed hearing her.
“You can't go where Althara” said me with a smile and back save the book to his place.
“Alhena” call her asking me to hear her.
I silently looked at her while smilingly waiting for her to continue speaking.
“Even if I'm not on your side, you should know that I'll be around you without you knowing”
I feel like Althara's words mean something big. Then he returned to photograph me who was stunned confused by what he said.
I shook my head while still smiling at his manner which always flattered me.
Finished buying some of my books and Althara dined at our favorite junk food restaurant. Buy a cheeseburger and coca cola our favorite menu.
“I can minjem your phone? I want to share my data, said Althara when we were eating her food.
I nodded my head to answer, because my mouth was already full of burgers that had just entered my mouth.
“I sent her data ya” I nodded my head again.
The message came in with a name on the phone screen, Mr.Strange. Althara glanced at the screen of my phone that was on, I was surprised to forget to change Althara's name on my phone. From the first time Althara sent me a message during the music competition 2 years ago, I've written Althara's contact name with Mr. Strange, but now I'm adding a heart mark behind her,and Althara never checked my phone.
I took my phone and hid it under the table. He squinted his eyes.
“This is where I saw her Hp” her word is cold.
“Bentar.. bentar” said I tried to keep my phone away.
“Alhena” call her cynically.
“Iya bentar”
Then he stood up from his seat and approached my chair.
“After Althara I pinjem first” I said while laughing trying to hide my phone.
But Althara managed to snatch it out of my hands, and then she sat back in her chair. I panicked and wanted to laugh because I could always forget to change Althara's name on my phone.
He looked at my phone and looked at me. I showed him my teeth feeling guilty. He picked up my phone and gave it to me again. I see her contact name has changed to ‘Amo Stella’ again she uses foreign language to make me confused.
“Amo stella?” My toot.
“Handsome men” I frown on my forehead staring at how confident he is.
“Stella meus” my word. Althara looked at me with a fixation.
“You're a bummer doesn't that mean ?” Said explained.
Then he laughed at me.
