I was going to say hello to Abra and invite the guy to lunch with provisions prepared by my budhe in excess. I wanted to run to him before I saw a girl talking to him.

It's Anastasya.

I stopped when I found out who he was. Then turned away when our eyes met briefly. I don't deserve to bother about this.

Okay. I'm aware of the position now.

Han once said. It is not appropriate for me to keep a taste in someone who already has a lover. But I can't decide on who I'm going to like someone.

Oh, ja. I like Abra.

I didn't realize it before Han and Felix told me about it. I have no experience with romance. Because the love relationship I saw first was a squabble and bokap me. Every time I ask him why they keep fighting he just answers because he loves my bokap. I assumed that love was like that. That assumption was also supported by the quarrel of Han and his former lover.

"Love can sometimes be about conflict, anyway. But that's not the point." Han advised me one day. When the three of us were chatting under the moon at midnight. "But about this." Han touched his chest.

"What?" i asked. Felix sitting in front of me patted the eel.

"Lo don't advise the Moon on love. He's belom sampe." Felix gulped at the cola later. "But it looks like our crescent moon is approaching the full moon."

I looked at Felix. "So I like Abra?"

"Then ask us?" Han looked at me.

I don't know either. But my feelings for Abra are different to Han or Felix. I want to be close to him. I want to know all about him. Even I am willing to be a light if the path is dark. Maybe by burning myself to light it up. But I realized I didn't deserve it.

"Lo really hasn't fallen in love yet, anyway." Han says.

I just stared at him while biting the fried chicken already in hand.

"Look, I once said, love is complicated. You can sacrifice but don't overdo it. You may want to know all about the people you like but do not make sense. That's complicated."

Felix put the chicken. " If they know it's complicated why it's still in love."

"Maybe they think it's a challenge." I finally spoke up.

"The same is true of why you have to painstakingly cut chicken, at the pull of the fur until it becomes a serving of fried chicken." Han chimed.

"Gue never did that."

"Exactly! You can choose to do it or not."

"Gue still doesn't understand." Felix gulped his sodas.

Han sighed while I was still cleaning the chicken bones from the meat that was still attached. Because it is said that the most delicious part is the most effort.

"Yes, deh. Essentially complicated. You'll understand if you've lived it."

"Lo talks like you've been dating a thousand times." Felix is teasing.

I'm done with my chicken cut and now I'm waving about what it's right I put a taste on a Sabrang Aditya when it's possible it could break someday.

My daydream broke when the teacher who was teaching caught me and told me to leave the classroom. I took a deep breath before I finally stood up and left the classroom.

I walked to the girls' toilet located in the IPS classroom area. I deliberately choose a place that is quite far thinking the further I go with Abra the more tenuous my feelings will be.

But it doesn't seem to. I was getting claustrophobic when I found out that the man I saw with Abra this morning was washing his hands. Her long hair was draped without any accents but gave the girl a sexy impression. Yes, it's Anastasya.

I'm standing next to him. Opening the faucet then washing my tired face.

"Month, right?" Anastasya greeted when I finished the third wash on my face.

"Yes." I stared for a while then went back to washing my face.

"I heard a lot of your stories from Abra. It looks like you guys deket." the girl took a piece of tissue and rubbed it on the back of her hand.

"We're menenan."

"Well, can we be victorious too? I'm Abra's girlfriend."

I tau. But I don't want to.

"Gue doesn't have to be the same boyfriend from my friend. Or vice versa."

Anastasya throws a tissue container and then stands looking at me. His gaze was clearly intimidating as I glanced at him from the large mirror in front of me.

"Gue won't let you take Abra from me."

I pecked the faucet. Then take a tissue and throw it in the trash.

"Gue never even had the intention to wrestle the same girlfriend lo. But if he's coming to me-" I try to put on an intimidating smile too. I was never sure what I just said.

"Lo was so sure. I like it." Anastasya came closer to me. Then pat my shoulder three times. Her lyrics and smile made me want to hit her sweet face. So that the face no longer captivates many hearts because it is completely opposite to its original nature.

I sighed when Anastasya had already disappeared behind the door. I'm afraid to face that girl. More scared than knowing my math value is red.

I washed my face once more before the ringing of the mobile phone vibrated in the pocket of the skirt. Without identifying who is calling in this class hour, I immediately shifted the green button.

"Hello, Moon."

A familiar voice, but I don't hear it often. I kept the phone away from my ear and saw whose name was engraved there.

Mommy. A name I miss but hate at the same time.

"Moon? Mami's going to Jakarta. Mommy's boys are going to college there."

A news that is not very important for me to hear, but I am still loyal.

"Oh." I looked in the mirror. Seeing the reflection of my pale face that is getting pale. My head is dizzy. The feeling of wanting to bang your head against the glass is really stirring.

"You miss Mami?"

"After two years there was no news. Moon forgets." I close the phone and hold it tight. Sickness and tiredness in the chest.

Kangen, yes. Funny too.
