A Poem To Dila
First photo
One week after the 10th grade orientation the teaching and learning activities were again carried out as usual before I left school I and my friends gathered in the front parking lot of Mushola while waiting for the others to come as well and of course just me while waiting for Dila who goods time he will come with Ridwan or he came alone, before long I saw Robi piggybacking Dila on his new motorbike to go to school.
“Anjay Said Hendrik while looking at Robi's motorbike passing in front of him.
“Lu out mgebegal where Rob tuh motor, tumben you bring a new motor?” said Yomi asked Robi who just got off his bike with Dila.
Zahid immediately chimed in on the words of Yomi. “Where are the people you started to die for?”
“Mata lu, ngabegal.” Robi denies the words of Yomi and Zahid.
“Custom kayak si Robi where may ngebegal ege.” I said denying the words of all of them.
“Well Den” said Robi with a cheerful face because someone defended her.
“Lu robbed where is the motor?” I asked with a serious face.
“Article kau”
“Have we been classy, have we all gathered together, right?” Hendrik stood up from his seat and walked to class.
When the other children walked to my class who saw Dila who was waiting for someone in front of the computer lab room, I immediately approached him.
“You're not in yet?”
Dila smile. “Deni..”.
I smiled as well as returning Dila's smile. “What are you doing here? not classy?”
“I again wait for Jey the same as Windi, you yourself why not the class when it was just the others already on the class?”
I just laughed a little. “I want to nemenin you.”
Dila who heard my words immediately turned her reddened face away.
“Eh tumben now departs in the morning, usually also like to leave mulu?” Dila asked me while tilting her head.
I'm laughing a little. “It just so happened that Deni woke up to part”
“What time is it waking up?”
“Emang now what time?”
Dila looked towards the watch she was wearing on her left hand. “Jam 06:30, why?”
I smile. “Nah Deni wake up at 06:15.”
“That's bad luck Deni.” Dila glared and I just laughed.
“Mending is waiting in class, maybe they are already in class.” Take me to Dila to go class.
“Iya deh mending class.” Dila accepted my offer to go class together
Dila and I walked down the school hallway to go classy during the trip I remember the first incident I saw Dila was in this hallway, an event that causes the consequences of why Dila and I know each other and are close to each other like this.
“You were why you could go with Robi?”
“Oh that, he said after he had a motor he would pick Dila up as long as Dila wanted to be temen vent.”
“Oh gitu.” I sighed as I entered the classroom and went to my seat which happened to be my seat in the last row next to Dila's seat.
The entrance bell rang all the students in my school went to the field to perform the Ceremony, she said, I and my friends also walked out of class to go to the field and before entering the field there was a neatness check first by my teacher BK who did not bring a hat was confused how to follow the ceremony without being discovered, or I pretended to be sick just to be able to get a sweet tea and without having to follow the ceremony, Dila suddenly came to me and gave her hat to me.
“I heard from the Stars you only bring a tie doang and do not like to wear a hat?”
I got Dila's hat. “Keep if I wear this hat, how do you?”
“Please, I have two kok.” He took out his other hat from his bag.
“Still yes.” While using the hat that Dila gave and walking with Dila towards the field to attend the ceremony.
After the Ceremony is over the ceremony supervisor delivered an announcement that this month there will be an Event to commemorate August 17, exactly 4 days from now, my classmates also discussed what will be displayed for the Event.
The first subject bell also reads History teacher who should have taught my class could not attend because there was a sudden event and just told us to summarize the book. His son who knew that the History teacher was not present prepared to go to the shophouse so that he could skip quietly without having to be told to by his girls.
Hendrik who saw me sitting on the wall of the teacher's parking lot invited me to the shop. “Den let's gas to the shophouse, you want diem at school?”
“Oke-oke, first aja cave followed if already mood.”
Hendrik and the others set out to go to the shophouse and the only ones at school for his men in my class were Zahid, Ridwan, Bintang and me. Shortly after his son left for the shop there was someone who greeted me and sat beside me
“You didn't follow the kids to the shophouse?”
“No doubt yes, our High School stay another year.” said Dila with her gentle smile, her eyes directed at me. “After graduating SMA, where are you going?”
I paused for a moment, trying to string the words together with a worried heart. “I haven't thought about that yet. For me, right now the most important thing is to enjoy every moment in this High School period with my friends, including you.” I looked at Dila. “If you are alone after graduation where to go?”
“Maybe I will go back to Tangerang and study there, can be said I will not return to Bogor again.” Speak Dila while looking at the clouds that are above the sky there. I who heard the words of Dila who had just spoken from her beautiful lips felt surprised that Dila would not return to bogor.
“Can I say this year is the time where you spend time with us?”
“Thank you naudah nemenin Dila.” He said with a very beautiful look. “During this High School, although Dila knew Deni only looked at Dila from a distance, but Dila also often observed Deni and could feel Deni's gaze with warmth, and, when Deni looked at Dila and Dila also looked at Deni and at that time we looked at each other even though Deni turned his face first at that time, and when Deni did not say hello to Dila in class and even like ngacuhin Dila but the presence of Deni in class made Dila comfortable and very happy.” Dila shed her tears but also smiled towards me.
God for now give me courage, for I wipe away her tears.
“Remember Dila, there will be a day where I stand in front of you, stare at your face and say Finally we meet.” I smiled as I wiped the tears from Dila's beautiful eyes.
I stood up from my seat and walked away from Dila to go to the shophouse, but Dila suddenly chased after me just before I left the school gate.
“Dena... Wait..” Dila shouted while chasing me, I turned around and looked at Dila who was adjusting her breathing.
Dila smile. “Thank you.” I who heard those words from Dila just smiled and went back for a walk leaving her
I waved my hand and left him. “See you tomorrow.”
Four days passed since I met Dila and today is the school Event day precisely on August 16th I also went class and it turns out that in class was busy children to participate in the following That event.
“Again on what is ni?” I asked the class and walked to my seat.
Jey, who saw me walking towards my seat, approached me. “We want to participate for Event now.”
I sat in my chair and opened my phone while nodding my head.
“But we are short of his male role.”
I who saw Jey smiling at me instantly had an uneasy feeling. “Don't tell me the cave has to fill that role?”
“Iya Den lu who ngisi the role, because the role is suitable for you.”
“No no no, the cave doesn't want to follow that!” My words rejected Jey's words in a stern tone.
Finally Jey left me after I decided not to interfere with the Event, but he came back to me with his friend and his friend was Dila. He used Dila to negotiate for me to fill an empty role for the Event.
“Eh Den you sure don't want to fill the role? Though Dila lo asked, or the cave asked Ridwan only who filled the role.” Jey told me to play the role.
“Eh..” I was surprised because Jey used Dila as negotiation material.
Jey tried to hold back his laughter looking at my behavior. “For Dila lo Den?”
“Ta.. but.” I said in a stammering tone.
“Oke deal yes, you who filled the role.” Jey said immediately agreed without my consent and told everyone in the class. “Guys we already have this male role. He said Deni would participate to help us to attend this Event” Shouted jey while telling all the class children.
“That's it.” I said in a humble tone while going to the back with Dila to get ready. My heart still feels heavy with the decisions I have to make.
Dila felt bad about Jey's attitude forcing me. “Sorry Jey Yes, Den. She likes ngerepotin.”
I just smiled to try to melt the atmosphere, so that Dila would not feel guilty about what Jey had done.
Before the two of us walked onto the field, Jey stopped our steps. “Wait-wait... You two have never taken a picture together, huh?”
Also true. All this time, ever since I knew Dila, we had never had any special or special photos of the two. There are only photos of Dila with others when taking pictures together, not taking pictures together.
“Jey...” said Dila with a flushed face. Jey is Dila's closest friend and he is the one who knows Dila the most.
“Udah, don't talk much, chat, Eventnya want to start.” said Jey, telling me to take a picture with Dila.
Jey looked at us awkwardly and tried to hold back his laughter. “Don't that, napa? Kayak the enemy aja.”
I started to approach Dila and clasped her hands. Dila, who felt the presence of the grip, suddenly looked at me, and I replied with a smile.
“You romantic-romantic papa spout? Pegel's cave!” jey said, while trying to calm down so as not to laugh.
“1... 2... 3...” said Jey while taking photos of the two of us, creating a moment immortalized in a frame of beautiful memories.
This is our first photo in 2 years together.
I'm grateful that I was able to take a picture with you and that photo is a real proof that I still love you and you will never be replaced in my life.
