A Poem To Dila

Inaudibly

However, at the same time, the extremely loud backsound suddenly startled Dila. My voice was forgotten amidst the ripples of music that echoed in the hall. Dila looked at me confused, not understanding what I just said.

“Iya, Den. What did you just say? Not heard.” Dila asked in a rather loud voice, driven by the noise of the music backsound.

I was a little disappointed that Dila did not hear my words just now, I whispered directly in Dila's ear, trying to divert the conversation. “You look like an SD child, Dila.”

“Deni.. ngeselin mulu!” said Dila in an annoyed tone, while pinching my stomach firmly. Pain passed through my body, but it was only a solace to the confusion and disappointment that came my way.

“Dila.... Dila... Pain already this is mah red pinched his former.” I held Dila's hand which was pinching me.

The star rebuked me with a high voice. “Oi, you two are noisy! What the hell is it?”

I whispered to Dila in a stammering tone. “Even get angry, you're the rough one.”

Dila looked at me with a sharp look. His face was emitting anger that I could hardly imagine before. He took his hand out of my grasp violently.

“Kok even hurt me? You're the first one to piss off, Deni!” said Dila in a high voice, heard by some people around us.

“Eh but—” My words tried to find an excuse, but my words were interrupted by Dila's ambush.

Dila approached my face with a sudden movement. “What? You dare to be with me?” his voice was full of intimidation, smashing into my ears.

“No co, engga.” I tried to get away from Dila's face with a frightened face.

For some reason every time I try to express my feelings to you I always get obstacles that make me sometimes desperate to get you. But every time I see your smile I always realize that you are the reason for all the longings that dwell in every night.

Zahid who saw me being together with Dila immediately approached me. “Oi Den, you try to check the condition of other teams whether it is safe or not and if there is any news of the cave, invite Dila to make a meeting lu.”

“OK ready pack pro.” I said as I raised my hand to respect him who walked away from me.

I immediately pulled Dila's hand to make a move. “Come, come with me.”

Dila was shocked and stammered. “Eh... Uh... Uh..”

“Udah come, do not be noisy later in temurin pak pro loh.”

“Iya... Yes.” Dila agreed to my word to come with me to check on the other teams.

Dila and I also checked the other teams and the first team that Dila and I checked was the consumption team that was behind the hall, when I got there, I asked them if there was a problem or not.

“Excuse me? Safe consumption team?” While entering the room with Dila and taking snacks that were there.

“These most take it to the back stage, the rest is safe.” Said Rofi who is the chairman of the consumption team.

“Oke.” I picked up a dus containing food that was not too heavy and walked towards Dila who was standing in front of the door.

I smiled at him while giving the dus I took from the rofi. “Ni take it with you, let there be work.”

Dila took the dus I gave her and walked with me leaving the consumption team room to go to the back stage.

“Oh yes, take this cave yes.” My words were walking out while telling the consumption team that I took a snack there for me to eat myself.

“Iya.”

“Spirit bring dus.” Said me walking along Dila who was carrying Dus to go to the backstage while eating the snack I had brought.

“Iya.” Said Dila with the face of the sprain because he had to bring the dus.

I took the dus that Dila brought. “Keep ko, here let me take it.”

“Means here the snack, replace.” Dila immediately picked up the snack I was holding after I picked up the dus she had brought just now and walked in front of me.

“Sialan.”

After arriving at the backstage I gave the dus to Zahid and proceeded to check the other teams. Before I continued my work I saw Dila who disappeared from my vision and looked for her first after a few minutes I finally saw Dila who was watching the performance while eating the snack I had eaten in disguise being a 10th grader who was sitting watching the performance.

“For what is ni?” My words surprised Dila who was watching at the performance and sat next to him.

“Job, Deni.” Dila was shocked because I suddenly knew who was watching the show.

I immediately pulled Dila's hand and led her out of the hall. “Come on, work is not done.”

Dila stopped his steps. “That moment was again an exciting scene.”

I picked up a snack that Dila was eating. “Yaudah I took this yes.”

“Ih don't take.” Said Dila as she followed me out of the hall then took back the snack I had taken from her and walked towards the backstage.

“Well it is nurut”

I chuckled and walked with Dila to check on the music team that was near the hall stage.

“Tim music safe?” I said to Vinda, Dicky and Zaman.

“Neither safe, the cave needs a snack of coffee to be safe.” said Dicky who was standing in front of me.

“Oke, tar si Dila bring coffee as a snack for you.” I said while pointing at Dila, I who saw Dila who was always a victim also glared at me.

Winda approached Dila. “Oh yes Dil, all carry mineral water yes.”

Dila smile. “Hehehe, iaiya.”

“Besides it's safe?”

“Aman.” Speak of the Age while raising his thumb.

“Then that cave there first yes.” I said walking with Dila to leave the music team.

“Why do I keep what you tell me?” Said Dila who walked beside me and pinched my stomach hard.

“Iya yes sorry, later I help.” I held Dila's hand which was pinching my stomach.

Dila and I went back to the consumption team to ask for coffee, mineral water and snacks for the music team. And after finishing preparing everything we both went back to the music team venue to give their consumption to them.

“Oi nge, cave put here ya.” I said while putting coffee and snacks on the table that was there.

Dila gave mineral water to Vinda. “This Win the mineral water.”

“Still Yes Dil.”

“Judah we go back first yes.” I said as I held Dila's hand and took her away with me.

“Where else are we going?”

“Means stay property team we have to check.” I said as I let go of Dila's hand I just held.

“Team property it we.”

I smile. “Audah I'm the same as you, property team is safe?”

“Yes where I know, from earlier I was the same you continue to check other teams.”

Hendrik approached me who was with Dila. “Oi nge, kasian tuh kids property team that you stay, they lack people.”

“Oke-oke, cave there.” I clasped Dila's hand again to head to the backstage and help the other property team.

“Oi nge, lu mojok mulu, people are busy you even do not exist.” Said the Star that saw me and Dila who had just come.

I immediately helped Bintang prepare the property that will be brought to the stage. “Gua just told pro pack make another team check nge.”

“Yaudah soon the curtain is closed, help the cave to bring this property to the stage, about this will be the end of the show.”

Shortly after that the curtain was closed again, me, Bintang and other property teams took the stage and replaced the property that had been on stage with a new property. After everything was done, the curtain reopened and Elis took the stage again.

Zahid whispered to me. “Den, you keep the exit door afraid it will fit out even in a fuss, or invite one person just so you do not yourself menggurusnya.”

“Oke cave otw there.” I said while looking for someone to take me there.

I went straight up to the star holding the Nitrogen tube. “Tang you free no? Help the cave to guard the exit.”

“Gua can't help you, see what this cave holds? Soon the cave had to pour this Nitrogen on the stage when Windy read the poem for the closing. Try to invite Hendrik.” said Bintang refused my invitation and told to invite Hendrik.

I walked straight to Hendrik. “Drik you can help the cave? Make sure the exit?”

“Two back on stage.” Hendrik also refused my invitation.

I also looked for someone else in the backstage to guard the exit of the hall with me, remembering that there was still one person I could take with me, and I went over to that person.

I approached Dila hang sitting on the backstage chair. “Dila.”

Dila looked towards me. “Iya what's wrong?”

“Where to go?”

I smile. “You came alone, or forced to join ?”

Dila held my hand with a restless face. “Yaudah come alone.”

“Come to leave.” I said as I clasped Dila's hand and walked towards the door of the hall.

Dila asked again, a question that I have not answered. “Where are you going?”

I smile back. “Cute aja.”

Dila took off my hand and immediately tickled me. “Jawab?”

I tried to get away from Dila. “Iya yes I replied, but stop investigating, Dila “

Crazy stop tickling me. “Yaudah cepet reply?”

I took a breath after Dila stopped tickling me. “Pack word pro I was told to guard the door hall.”

“Oh from earlier you asked Hendrik the same star just for that?”

“Iya gitu”

“Ya continues, why did you not say where you were going to take me? Did you say you wanted to come alone or were forced to come? Yes I am so scared.”

I chuckled as I opened the hall exit. “You all watched it first?”

“Totally can this be? If you are responsible, yes?”

I nodded my head as I walked into the hall and watched the performance with Dila.

After entering the hall, Dila and I sat at the very back while looking at Elis and Robi who were fighting acting and ended with Robi who decided Elis. Shortly after that Windy took the stage and recited a poem about the play, so that all the people in the hall also gave applause including me and Dila. After the drama of the first session was finished all 10th grade children left the hall but there was also a request for photos to my classmates who had just finished showing the show.

Dila and I arranged for the 10th graders not to rush out of the hall.

“Do not rush out one-on-one aja.” Dila gave instructions to them but because of Dila's slow voice they did not listen to him.

Suddenly there was a class of boys approaching Dila who was standing next to me. “Eh sister similar artist Adinda Azhani?” Dila just smiled in response to the class.

“Eh sis I can ask for a photo with not the same sister?” The class adek asked to take a picture with Dila.

“Bol—” before Dila answered the child's question I immediately approached Dila.

“Sorry yes... Brother Dila is busy.” I said as I took Dila's hand and walked over to help me organize the people who wanted to leave the hall.

And after pulling Dila's hand, I whispered into the ears of the class and smiled. “And one more, he's got a cave! you find another one.”

“Eh yes brother, sorry-sorry I first.” The class quickly walked out of the hall.

Dila pinched my stomach. “Do not scare adek class.”

“Yes yes, just joking.” I said while holding Dila's hand.

Soon there were three girls in the class who approached me and Dila, then asked to take a picture with me.

“Can't ask for a photo together?” The girl's classmate asked me to ask for my photo.

“Iya kak once aja sak, this morning did not become his photo.” continued by his friend next to him.

Dila who saw me who was chatting with the three class members immediately approached me.

“Sorry yes, brother Deni is again busy the most if you want photos can be the same as the show cast there.” Said Dila as she pointed towards the stage and pulled my hand away from them.

“Who is the girl who is so close to Deni? From the morning of ganggu mulu, it's mah short, jutek, songong again, meningan cave right?” Said the class adek while whispering to his friend saying Dila, and Dila who heard his words turned towards him with an annoyed face.

I calmed Dila down while smiling towards her. “Udah have not been taken seriously, they are just kidding, do not enter into the heart.” The new classmate saw Dila turning towards him immediately rush out of the hall.

“Iya.” Said Dila in a tone that was still upset.

After all the 10th grade left the hall I was finally with the class children could rest even if only 30 minutes, before my class continued the performance for the second session.

“Finally can rest too.” Elis said with a happy face because he finished the first session and sat on the stage with me, Hendrik, Yomi, Robi and Bintang.

“Still aware you Lis?” Hendrik asked Elis, who had just sat down with us.

“If not aware the cave will not be here.”

“Oi nge, wake up the cave if the second session will be started, the cave will sleep for a while.” I said to those on stage.

Yomi throws me with a paper that has been made round. “Lu still had time to sleep anying?”

Shortly Dila and Windi also came to bring drinks and snacks that they had just brought from the consumption team.

“This is for you.” Windi said as he placed the crackle bag containing drinks and snacks on the stage where we gathered.

“Still yes.” Yomi said as he took the drink and sipped it.

Windi also gave drinks to the stars beside me. “Nih for you.”

Smiling stars. “Still.”

“Eh cave for dong one, bring here sorry yes.” Said Ridwan who was next to the stage while continuing to check the Curtain for session two.

“Oi... You got a little gun toe napa?” Said Hendrik to Ridwan who asked to bring one drink.

Ridwan is just a whiny. “Sorry sorry cave again is a bit busy because.”

Dila walked to Ridwan and gave the drink in the swipe pouch to Ridwan. “This wan.”

Ridwan smiled at Dila and took the drink from Dila's hand. “Still Yes Dila.”

“Eh that boy why?” Windi said of me sleeping to the children who were there.

“He again hibernate.” Answer Stars.

“No exact ege when it is called hibernation, but more precisely he is dead simulation.” Hendrik chimed in the words of the Stars while laughing and the other children also laughed.

“Win there is still one more not cold drink?” ask Dila to Windi.

“So it looks like it's in a crackle bag.” Windi pointed at the swish pouch earlier.

“What does Dil do?”

Dila took one cold drink from the bag to the recess. “Now.”

Half an hour passed and we were getting ready to resume session two. The star that saw me sleeping on stage woke me up to tell me to get ready. “Oi Den wake up, just a second session to start.”

“Feelings of the cave just took a short nap, I'd like two more sessions aja.” I said as I stood up to go to the backstage.

Dila saw me who had just come down the stage. “Udah wake up?”

“Bentar Dila I haven't collected his life.” My words answered Dila's words and walked towards the bench that was on the backstage.

Dila sat down beside me and put the canned drink she had just picked up and put it on my cheek. “This is for you.”

“Cold.” My startled words suddenly Dila stuck the drink onto my cheek.

Dila smile. “Intentionally let you no longer sleepy.”

“Basic.” I said in a sprained tone and took the canned drink and sipped it.

“Yaudah come on, work is still a lot.” Dila stuck out her hand at me to invite me to guard the entrance again.

I smiled and clasped his hands then walked to the front of the entrance. “Iya come.”

If at that time I had the courage to express my heart to you, I would probably be the first person to enjoy your smile whenever and wherever.

No matter how hard I try, I can't find a way to dislike you.

So I'm gonna stay like this. You don't have to feel guilty, and you don't have to do anything.

You just know enough...

That's all my feeling.
