A Poem To Dila
Sick star
Two months after I was in 11th grade, I was sitting in the cafeteria alone looking at two fighting ants, I noticed the two ants who were the two of them who would win the battle but soon Ian came to my shirt and immediately drank my drink on the table and then put the drink glass on the ant I was looking at.
“Oi you did nyimpen that glass there?”
“After the cave was thirsty again the cave in pursuit of the same cave class children, because they did not pay cash.” Ian said as he sat in front of me.
“Gua does not care you want to finish what, which cave tanyain why do you nyimpen the glass here?” While pointing towards the glass that Ian had just stored.
“What are you, glass problems only in ributin?”
“Lu ege whatan, this cave again see ants fight instead you matiin ant with you put a glass there, where the cave does not know which ants win.”
“So you've been nagging just because your problem doesn't know who won from the ants that fought just now?”
“Take.”
“Not clear bet you be a person.” Ian said as he scooped to the chair he was sitting on.
Before long Windi, Desi and Dila came to me and Ian while sitting where I was.
“Star 3 days ago did not enter.” Desi said to all of us who were sitting in the canteen.
“Personation with Stars lah.” My words chimed in on the words Desi.
“Temen us ege.” Desi pulled out her phone and called the stars.
“Hallo Tang's... Where did you three days not enter?” Said Desi who called Bintang through her phone.
“Gua pain cave.” Say the stars in a limp tone.
“Sick doang, dead no lu.”
“Crazy lu.”
“Same cave boys want to cool ntar.”
I immediately chimed in on the words of Desi. “Kaik kayak is important only Star.”
The star that heard my voice spoke. “Den cave danger.”
After school we went to the clinic where Bintang was treated. “Yo wasap load family.” I said to the Star that was lying down.
“What's tuh?” Said the star that saw me and Ian carrying something.
“Gitar.” Ian answered the Star question.
“General people visit bring fruit.”
I laugh. “Sok iye lu.”
Desi approached Bintang while carrying ready-made food in her house. “Jengkol equals saute kale Tang.”
“There really is no fruit?” Stars still question about fruit.
Desi directly chimed in the words Star. “Smouthed bet dah.”
I also sat in an empty chair beside the Star seat. “Den singing Den.” Said Ian giving me the guitar he brought to me.
“Oi this clinic don't be noisy.” Say the stars to me.
“Bacot bet lu, have already been hemmed in let the cave entertain the same song that cave ciptain itself.”
I picked up the guitar I was holding and immediately sang. “See my sick friend... Just lying down and helpless... Every day I pray for him... May he die to the sheep... Lamb... Lamb... Hit my friend... Go to clinic two to see him, who was helpless and just collapsed... I'll get an ambulance, he dies first. Friends... Friends... I want tahlilan... Yey..”.
Dila who saw me mingle Star with a song that I sang immediately grabbed my hair. “Don't be noisy later in temurin.”
I just smiled while holding Dila's hand that was still grabbing me. “Kan if bawain fruit is already mainstream, well if you visit bawain song is anti mainstream.”
“Guys this really you guys again cool the cave?”
Desi chimed in the word Star. “Take.”
“If the way of pluck is like gini ae lu's henchmen are all at home lu.”
Desi continued my words. “Mak cave has made jengkol kale for you ge.”
“Gua already brought Guitar.” Ian said to the stars.
The star just laughed a little, before long Windi came to this clinic. “Star..”.
The star smiled as Windi came to see him. “Windi... Finally came you Win.”
“This is your birth date, right?” While showing his phone that is designing a tombstone for the Star.
“Windi I've CO seven flowers apparently in online store.” Said Dila while looking at her phone.
“Tuh Dila same Windi just bothered tuh.” Ian said to the star who had started spilling.
“Den on the table there is a knife, have killed ae cave.” Say the Star to me who is standing next to the table.
“Now so much?” I said while looking at the knife. “Oke.”
“B... Fuck.” Say the Star to me who takes his pranks seriously.
After spending time in the clinic, we all went home. I went home with Ian on the motorcycle that Ian had brought, while the others took public transport.
“Seriusan you make a song like that for Star?” Ian asked with a laugh.
I shrugged my shoulders. “For bosen only, nothing can be finished ledek material.”
Ian simply shook his head while watching the path.
“Lu where to now?” my many.
“Ikutin aja cave.”
“Oke.”
We stopped for a while at a record store. Ian bought some music tapes, then we went on our way. After a few minutes of driving, we finally arrived at a small field not far from my house.
“You why are we here?” My toot.
“Ikutin aja cave.” Ian answered while pointing at a man who was playing guitar in the middle of the field.
“Who is it?” ask again.
“He's Mr. Kusni. He plays guitar every afternoon. We often play music together.”
We approached Mr. Kusni and gave him greetings. He smiled kindly as he asked us to sit next to him.
“Ian likes to come here if every school holiday to hear me sing or to learn to play gita.” explained Mr. Kusni.
“You have a band?” ask Mr. Kusni to me who is sitting next to Ian
I shook my head. “No, just likes to mess around.”
Mr. Kusni nodded. “Good, art is something to be looked after and appreciated. Play as you please, never be afraid to express yourself.”
The three of us then played music together on that small field. Mr. Kusni plays the guitar, while me and Ian sing. We played some songs that we knew, and Mr. Kusni also introduced us to some songs that we had not heard before. After a few hours, we decided to go home. Ian and I thanked Mr. Kusni, and promised to come back to the small field.
When I got home, I played the guitar in my room, I picked up the strings and sang a few songs I liked. But after a few minutes I got tired of playing guitar and chose to read books but my boredom really made me lazy to do something.
I threw the book I had just read and I went straight to my bed, and immediately played my phone in search of something interesting. The stars called me shortly.
“Oi..” I answered while picking up the Star phone.
“Thanks ya lu the same others already look at the cave.” Say the stars in a slightly happy tone.
“Look back, but not for free. After you return to school you must treat the children to eat in the canteen.”
“Dog bet lu.” Say the stars in a annoyed tone.
I hung up the phone and immediately lay on my bed, a sudden drowsiness enveloped me and I fell asleep.
