A Poem To Dila
Showings
One month passed right tomorrow was the day of our heated performance, I who was preparing the property for tomorrow's performance was suddenly startled by the Star that hit my back.
“Oi you still just know the property?” Said the Star while giving me the canned drink he had just stolen from Windi.
I took the drink that the Star gave me and sipped it. “Lu of no mending work help the cave bring this property to the hall.”
“Sorry cave broke back again to go up on stage.” Saying the stars while walking away from me.
“Dogs are kids.” I said while bringing the property that will be used tomorrow into the hall.
After I kept the property in the hall I walked to the classroom to move the other property. I who saw Dila from a distance was carrying another property immediately approached him.
I immediately took half the property that Dila brought. “Be careful, SD child do not bring much-many objects.”
“Mau help her not intention, instead take half not everything.” Say Dila with a pouting face.
I laugh. “Later if taken all you no work continues to be scolded by the producer, so I'm better not taken all.”
Dila stepped on my feet and walked quickly away from me. “Bodo highly.”
“Damn it's SD.” I said while crouching because my feet were stepped on by Dila.
Arriving at the hall I immediately walked towards Dila and pulled the jacket she always used and pulled her up.
Dila held my hand which was holding her jacket. “Deni ngeselin.”
I smiled and took off my jacket. “Tadi who started mengeselin first who?”
Dila pout. “You.”
“Kok me?”
“It is, because you called me SD mulu.” Said Dila while turning her face that was looking at me.
“Yes end you look like a child SD.”
“It is really you who mengeselin mulu.” Dila while pulling my long hair.
“Sick Dila.” I said while holding Dila's hand to release her trap.
“You two are making mulu soan no.” Said the Star that walked up to me and Dila with Windi.
“Berisik lu.” I say to the Star that still holds Dila's hand. “You why are you here?”
“Commonly talk don't cuss.” Said Dila while coming back to grab my hair.
I pointed at the Star with my index finger. “Ya exhausted his face ngeselin, look aja.”
“Oi nge why bring a cave?”
“Cause here just want to call you because the kids are meeting in class again, if you've finished washing the chips back to class.” Saying the Star while walking left me after informing me of the information.
“Yaudah we first yes, look out for you both macem-macem.” Said Windi while following the Star.
Dila and I went class after the Star gave me the information, on the way Dila who saw my hair that had covered my vision told me to shave my hair.
Dila ruffled my hair. “That's long hair, don't forget to shave it later block your vision.”
I smile. “Shave the same as you if nyampe.”
“Yaudah I shaved it with grass clippers yes?” Said Dila who wanted to go to the warehouse to pick up grass scissors.
I held the hand of Dila who wanted to go to the school warehouse. “Ya is also the concept of Dila.”
“Ya eat it shaving.” Said Dila while coming back to pull my hair.
I smile. “Iya-iya I'll shave kok.”
Once in class I saw it seemed like there would be a special meeting for the performance tomorrow and it was true that the meeting was about the performance. So the core of the meeting is that we have to perform three performances because it will be divided into three sessions, namely the first session for 10th grade children, second session for 11th grade children and last session for the public. After the meeting the other boys decided to go home and rest for tomorrow's performance but for the property team we have to finish the task that was delayed because of the meeting.
“Oi nge you are not back?” Ask the stars to me who are still cleaning up the property in class.
“Mata you back.” While taking other properties to bring to the hall. “Gua must settle this first, if the cave is turning now and even the cave got scolded by the same producer.” Samba walked carrying the property into the hall.
Star left me. “Yaudah cave back first yes.”
About fifteen minutes after the Bintang came home, I finished moving all the properties needed for tomorrow's show. I was sitting at the table near the stage that was inside the hall with a lot of sweat coming out of my body, Dila who saw myself who seemed to be a soy sauce came straight to me and stuck a canned drink that was quite cold on my cheek.
I who reflexed with the cold on my cheek immediately kept the drink away from my cheek. “Cold.”
Dila smiled widely. “Do not continue to be dumbfounded, later kesambet.” He held out a can of drink that had been stuck to my cheek. “Nih, drinks for you.”
I received the drink that Dila gave me with gratitude. “Still... You haven't come home?”
“That you yourself haven't come home?”
“The most break collision first.”
Dila sat beside me. “Yaudah, I am waiting for you to go home, let you not be alone.”
“Let's go to the afternoon until his house?”
Dila smile. “This time is afternoon.”
I could only smile back at Dila while looking at her who was also smiling at me. After finishing a short break, I took the bag located in the classroom and with Dila, we decided to go home from school.
The beautiful twilight sky welcomed our steps as we walked together. I felt comfortable with Dila's presence beside me. We talked lightly about school activities and shared a laugh along the way home.
Today is the moment to look forward to, when my class performance will be displayed. We were all busy preparing everything necessary, such as stage property, admission tickets, and drinking water. At the front door of the hall, Dila, and Ridwan were assigned to arrange the queue of enthusiastic spectators. When we arrived, we saw a long queue of 10th graders waiting patiently. Ridwan and I immediately moved to divide the task, while Dila was in charge of guarding the hall door.
I approached Ridwan and Dila. “Wan you take care of the children who queue at the back, Dila you guard the door of the hall only, later the rest let the cave set.”
Ridwan and Dila agreed to the plan, and we hurried to carry out our respective duties. However, as I was trying to arrange the front row, suddenly one of them pulled my arm.
Suddenly, the other girls also came closer and asked for photos with me. Surprisingly, even though I was not the main character in the show, they were actually interested in taking pictures with me.
“I too, Brother!”
“I too!”
“Ih, love dong! I was the first to ask for a photo, not yet!” say one of them with a little annoyance.
“Commonly dong. Kak Deni is also not a problemin.” said the other daughter casually.
The situation grew even more confusing as I tried to set the queue, and Dila who saw the situation immediately approached me.
He pulled my hand and kept me away from the crowd of 10th graders. “Sorry yes, Brother Deni his, I want to borrow first yes.”
“Who is that SD kid? Pull Kak Deni aja, later if blisters how?” one of the girls said to her friend in a whispering voice .
Dila heard the call “anak SD.” and his frustration began to peak, he wanted to approach them and give a lesson. However, I who saw it immediately tried to calm the situation down.
“Udah, already. Don't be horrified by their words.” Say it while trying to calm Dila.”
We both walked back to the door of the hall, trying to avoid the 10th graders who caused the mess earlier.
“Not sure you will be an idol of girls in class 10?” said Dila with a face of a sprain to me.
I laughed as I sat near the door of the hall. “I also did not expect, if it would be saved by SD children from those children.”
Dila who was sprained because from earlier called the Elementary School child immediately vented his anger on me and hit my stomach and grabbed me.
Dila vented her anger on me, for she was spoken to by the class adek.
“Kesel... kesel very same those who want me SD child and you also.”
I smiled as I held Dila's hand that was persecuting me. “Aduh... Ouch... I'm Sick.”
“Oi you both did not hear anything from earlier, the producer said tell me to open the hall door. The two of you even thumped hadeh.” Said the Star that came up to me to convey some pretty important information. “Judah cave who opened the door.” While walking towards the door of the hall and opening it.
Dila also took the entrance ticket given by every 10th grader to enter the hall and I gave instructions to them to queue neatly.
“For those who are struggling please do not precede each other, because you all must also enter.” I said speaking using the toa prepared by the class children.
After about twenty minutes the queue was finally finished and all the 10th graders entered the hall to watch my class performance.
“Cua first yes, beware again the cave must go on stage.” The Star Speaker left me and entered the hall through the back door.
I approached Ridwan who was sitting next to Dila.. “Lu instead of having to straighten the curtains huh?”
Ridwan ran towards the back door to chase after the Star. “Oh yes cave forgot.”
“Finally calm too.” While drinking the mineral water I had brought before heading towards the hall door.
“Iya really finally finished too.” Said Dila while sitting and leaning against the wall behind her.
I rubbed Dila's head. “Uh... Kasian, SD kid ketapean.”
“Dena... What did you say just now?” Dila glared at me and seemed to be pouncing on me.
I tried to escape from Dila. “No, just now the kids call Deni.”
Dila held my hand and told me to stay seated. “Said what just now?”
“Itu—” Without hearing the continuation of my words Dila immediately tickled me until I was unbearable will be amused Dila made.
I just laughed because Dila tickled me. “Dila is Dila. Hahaha.”
Dila threatened me and kept tickling me. “Said what just now? If not honest, it will not stop.”
“Yes you're like a child SD.” I said while holding Dila's hand that was tickling my body.
“Ngeselin.” Dila took her hand off my hand and hit my stomach.
I held onto my stomach which Dila had just hit. “Psychopaths.”
“If so why? You dare?” Said Dila in a loud tone.
“No.” While holding my stomach that Dila just hit while smiling at him.
“Yaudah come on, arentar kids nyariin us again.” Dila pulled my hand without caring about my stomach that she just hit.
If you know every second I spend with you always makes me grateful, if at that time I can stop time. I really want the two of us stuck there for good where I won't lose you like this. After arriving at the back door and entering the hall I saw my class had already started my class children also seemed to be tense to see the opening action of our show. I who was standing next to Dila saw whether the opening of this show could make everyone in the hall amazed or disappointed because of this opening, he said, Dila who was standing next to me without her realizing it grasped my hand so tightly and I who felt Dila's very strong grasp could only give up the pain.
And after the curtain opened Elis who played the role of Quantin took the stage and followed by Robi as the male lead they competed acting very well even for the initial performance could be called very good and could be captivate the hearts of the audience who are in the hall. After they succeeded in the opening show the curtain was closed and we also the property team increased the items needed for the next scene.
“Dila come.” I invited Dila to help the other property team prepare the items needed.
The star and Ravhy called me to move the property onto the stage. “Den help cave lift this house property to the stage.”
After we finished setting up the stage for the next scene, finally the curtain was reopened. I looked at Dila who seemed tired because she had moved some property directly to her while carrying the tissue and canned drinks that were there.
I sat down in the chair next to Dila, my body feeling tired after the long preparations for this performance. The boisterous sounds of the audience and the thundering music backsound filled the hall. “Capek yes, when it just started.” I said in a soft voice while looking at the stage filled with spotlight.
Dila smiled gently, her beautiful face looking sparkling under the spotlight of the stage lights. “No, Den. This is the moment we've been waiting for, it's all worth our effort.”
I reached out the tissue and canned drink I had just held to Dila. “This is for you. Let you stay fresh during the show.”
Dila took the tissue and canned drinks gently. His gaze pierced through my heart, making my heartbeat even faster. “Still yes, Den.” he said with a sweet smile.
Suddenly, the mood changed. I called out to Dila in a low voice, lowering my head so that my words would only be heard by her. “Dila... All this time. Deni likes Dila.”
