ADORE YOU'S

Episode 8

　

　

Ah I just can’t do this

The moment I first saw you

Like a helicopter

You kept spinning around me

Whenever I let my guard down

You came in

I think weight get into trouble at this rate

Shout out

I wanna meet eyes with you

I wanna talk to you all day

I guess this is fine

Because I’m not that kinda guy

I wanna eat with you

I wanna watch fun movies with you too

What’s wrong? The girl I love

Is you

When I’m walking on an empty street

When I’m with my friends

I’m crushing on you

When you look at me indifferently

When you laugh over little things

I’m crushing on you

No no no (Crush on you) 

I’m pretending to look somewhere else

But my eyes are on you

No one will notice

Even if my friends catch me

I’ll just say I was just looking

I’m lying to myself

My heart is obvious, it’s all black inside

I know I’ll get in trouble

But my feet are already going to you

Just give me some time

Check up on my heart baby

When you look at me indifferently

When you laugh over little things

I’m crushing on you

I haven’t felt this in a long time

Honestly, before you came into my life

I didn’t know about these emotions

Hold on Hold on Hold on

Please end it here

But it’s not that easy 

*Samuel Kim - Crush on You

 ****

I'm looking at you

Unrelenting to be a sharing friend

Hope you feel what I think

Behind my smile there is love for you

Behind your eyes is a heart waiting

I'm silent, I like you

I try to get closer

I try to get close to your heart

I'm silent, I like you

It would be wonderful if I could have you

* secretly like**

Echa put the blue letters she had just finished reading on the cement table around the park close to the canteen in a somewhat confused manner.  Based on information from Naomi, the owner, similar letters kept coming for seven days in a row. Blue letters containing poetry or lyrics of romantic songs that are almost all written in English, and some flower stalks of carnation do not forget to be pinned by the anonymous sender. Naomi's locker was almost like a flower shop, because of the many flowers sent to her and because she could not bear to throw all the flowers placed in her locker. Some flowers even seem to be drying out.

Only the kids in the dance class know where each locker is, so is the sender one of his friends in the dance class? The question continued to bother Naomi.

“Maybe Vishnu sent her, isn't it obvious that she is also approaching you?” echa asked as she gathered back the letters that were scattered in the wind.

“I don't think it's Vishnu. He and I met almost every day. You know that too, right?”

Echa nodded in agreement

“Then who do you think sent these letters besides Vishnu? All I know in dance class is Doni, June, Ronald, Daniel and Brother Yohan. Because Daniel and Brother Yohan rarely come to dance classes we can exclude them.  Is one of Doni, June and Ronald?” ask Echa while sipping ice melon juice that is almost gone

“Entah.” Naomi shrugged her shoulders lazily.

“The main clue is, this person has good English skills, Doni and Juni are not very good at English, so they both automatically fall. Second, he is the romantic type of man, Emmm. I don't think the men in the dance class are romantic. Third, he knows everything about you. Means he is one of the people who is currently around you.”

“Wow... “ Naomi clapped as Echa finished her sentence, “your analytical skills are not helping me at all, Cha. People who do not know the subject of the problem can also know rough analysis such as

that.” Naomi ejeked with a flat face

From a distance there was a faint voice of a man joking around in a frenzy, voices very familiar to Echa and Naomi.

“You only reason, if you are afraid why not admit it? Hahahhaha.” Tempt one of the male voices that is clearly heard even in the distance

“I'm really not afraid, trust me.” Say the other man

“Hey...just admit it, we won't laugh at you. We saw it ourselves.” anyway

“HEY! BROTHER JEFF, BROTHER MADE, BROTHER YOHAN!” Shouted Echa while waving her hands at the dilapidated trio (a call given by some on campus, and juniors to Made, Yohan and Jeff due to his behavior

they are a bit abnormal). While Naomi hastily cleaned the blue papers scattered on the garden table made of cement into her jacket pocket.

“Like her you guys are having a problem with something, is there?” ask Echa to the point to the three handsome men who were walking towards them.

Yohan, Made and Jeff take a seat between Naomi and Echa.

“We're interrogating Made, last night.”.

“Hey... I said I'm not afraid, why did you bring that up in front of the girls?”

Said Made hurriedly cutting off Yohan's unfinished sentence

“But you look scared.” It was Jeff's turn to speak

“Actually it's about what, anyway?” ask Echa to know

“So the story, last night the three of us did a group video call.”

“You meet every day why video call? You sure you're normal? Even lovers are not like that.” Cut the Echa again

For some reason Yohan is always a victim, every talk must be someone who cut his sentence unfinished.

“Halah, it's just that I want to start telling you, if you keep cutting my sentences, how do I finish them, huh? I kissed, nih.” Yohan's nagging followed by laughter by those who were there, “Once again cut, I'll go straight away. So shut up!” threaten Yohan

“Iya. yes.. sorry.” Echa's reply was insincere

“So, when the three of us video call, rather than continue to talk and tell stories that can end up with each other because of his boredom, we prefer to sing together via online.” Yohan stopped

for a moment and looked at Echa who clenched her lips tightly as if preventing herself from commenting, then Yohan continued her sentence.

“Made is so excited that somehow how many songs he sang alone, four or five songs if not wrong. Just imagine, it was almost midnight and he sang a rock and roll song

super noisy, fortunately Jeff and I wear earphones so that no one hears Made noise other than us. Well, by the time she sang the last song, Made looked terrified.”.

“Shock, not fear.” Made corrected Yohan's sentence

“Iya, yes. Bummer. All of a sudden he was running around shaking his hand, like this.” Yohan said while mimicking Made who made a gesture like he was throwing something away.

“I'm not afraid, errat. I was only shocked once again just shocked because the insect appeared suddenly in front of me. You too, if you suddenly see an insect in your room, let alone an insect this big, like

“Woahh” you will also be sure to be shocked.” The word Made defended itself while describing the size of the insect it was seeing.

“Then, after that there is again.” Jeff's turn to open the voice, “When singing, almost at the end of the song. Made returned to his senses because he saw insects, when all he saw at that time was just dust, and the most ridiculous, despite his behavior, Made still continued to cry even though he was stiff and singing while screaming.”

“After that he laughed to himself out of embarrassment.” Added Yohan

Thanks to the silly story of these three young men, Naomi who had been frowning now laughed out loud at the stories of the seniors. Let alone Echa, he even hit Made's arm so badly he couldn't

withstanding laughter.

“You guys.. you guys are really magical. You can do silly things like that.” Naomi said because she laughed a lot

Jeff tried to turn his eyes the other way when Naomi began to talk and laugh even though it was a bit awkward.

“It's not over yet. There are other silly things.” Connect Yohan

Yohan took a breath first before starting to tell a story, her stomach hurt from laughing too much.

“So, after that bug incident, when the last song was played, it was Adele's song, but I forgot the name of the title of the song. Made mimics this kind of movement.” Said Yohan who now imitates the movements of people who play saxophone musical instruments, “ Guess what, he imitated with what tools?” yohan asked his listeners.

The girls just shook their heads with a smile, though,

“What? What?” ask Echa very curious

“Hahhahhaaa... Vacuum cleaner! And stupidly again, he accidentally turned on the power button in his vacuum cleaner and as a result.hahahhahahaaa.. his mouth is being turned on, sucked by a vacuum cleaner that he accidentally turned on, not just once but twice. hahahhhaaa”

Laughter broke out again among the people who were in that small circle. Echa even sat on the grass holding her stomach.

“Aduh... ouch... my stomach...adudududuhh...” he said while continuing to laugh.

“I feel stupid, really. How did my mouth get sucked in that vacuum cleaner? Especially after that, I scolded my mother all out.” Said Made who also laughed at his own silly behavior.

“I'm even surprised if you're not scolded by your mother.” Jeff said with a laugh

“Kak Made?” ask a girl who is suddenly approaching. He seems to be one of the students at the High School

Made who had been laughing because of a silly story about him, immediately put on a serious face.

“Yes, what's up, huh?”

“Ah! If I am annoying, I am a fan of Made since last year's English debate, can I ask for my sister's mobile number?”

Jeff and Yohan exchanged lyrics, already preparing to mock Made, Naomi smiled shyly while smothering her own mouth as if she was the girl who asked for Made's mobile number, while Echa who had been sitting on the grass returned to his seat quietly while sipping a glass of juice that was empty from it.

“Okay, I'm really sorry, for privacy reasons, I can't give you my phone number. I can only give you my Instagram username. You can follow him if you want. I'm really sorry.”

“It's okay, brother. Say ayang apologize.” Said the girl while looking down

“Please keep supporting me if we meet again at the same event, yes.”

Made waved his hand at the girl until she disappeared from their sight.

“You? Take part in the english debate? Why don't I know?” echa asked Made who was still smiling politely

“Why should you know?” ask Yohan back to Echa

“Yah.. I guess he can only act silly.”.

“Hahahahaa, despite this model, I'm a master of English, you know. Even no less good than Jeff's English skills long stay abroad.” Reply Made cengengesan while pinching the small Echa arm

Naomi nudged Echa's leg, and looked for a long time hinting that Echa's words about the analysis might initially relate to the senior brothers who were in front of their eyes. Echa shook her head with all her might as she blinked her eyes at Naomi.

“You why?” tanya Made who sees Echa exchanging gestures with Naomi

“Hmm? What?” answer Echa in shock

“You blink, do your eyes hurt?”

“Ah.. A-there's dust getting into my eyes, but now it's okay.”

Echa smiled awkwardly as she pinched Naomi's thigh, hinting not to discuss the matter for

this now.

“Do not stick to the word design and interior in this department and then identified with architecture, not so you know! Interior design majors are not the same as architecture majors, the difference lies in several things even though they both study about design or design. Interior design majors study the design and planning of spatial planning in buildings that are inseparable from aesthetic elements, functions, and

comfort for the owner or user of the room. While architecture majors study design, construction, taking into account the function of the structure and aesthetics of the building as a whole. So quite clear yes the difference between the two majors, brothers! although both pay attention to the elements

aesthetics but the object is different, namely the department of architecture examines the overall design of the building while interior design examines the optimization of space utilization. Please consider these things before starting your miniature project. So class today, I'm waiting for your group assignment in two weeks. Good day.”

Made stretched out his arms because of aches after the Bald lecturer who did not know what his name was, he forgot, left the class with thick books. It was the fifth semester but still he was not

given the real names of lecturers who teach at this campus. The mistake of always calling them by an alias.

“Hoooaaaamm, lying down for a while in Jeff's apartment doesn't seem like a bad thing.” Said Made while poking Jeff's burly arm gesturing. This past month Made and Yohan have been very used to going in and out of Jeff's apartment like their own home.  Jeff also did not mind the two friends often invaded his apartment.

“By, want to go home directly? Or stop by first?” ask Jeff who is cleaning up his books and stationery

in her black backpack.

“Live it, deh. I'm too tired to just queue at the coffee shop in front of campus.” Answer Made lazily

while chugging the mineral water Yohan had presented to him.

“Oh, yes. I haven't heard you go out with your girlfriend in a long time. Are you guys fighting?”

Jeff's question suddenly made Made choked by the water in his minun earlier

“Uhukkk.. uuhhukkk.

Yohan hit Made's back slowly

“I just found out you have a boyfriend. Looks like you've never been seen going alone with any girl.”

Said Hans sitting right in front of Yohan

Jeff, Made and Yohan always sat parallel in the last row of the class. While Hans who usually sits in the front row, lately more often sitting in the back row, right in front of a dilapidated trio seat.

“Not a thing to brag about, I just don't really like exposing my relationship to the public.

He has been very busy lately.” Reply Made who has recovered from his choking

“HANS!” call a skinny, long blonde girl from the front door of the classroom

 “Oh, briefly! sorry, I came out first.” Pamit Hans on Made and the others.

“Who?” ask Jeff slowly

“Daughter Hans, a student from music arts major, she usually takes extra music classes with Daniel

aslo. You better not get close to her. Although beautiful, she is like a tiger mother.” Yohan was as slow as she was

“Mother tiger? Meaning?”

Made made a silent gesture with his index finger as Hans returned to his seat.

“So where are you going after this?” ask Hans

“We will go directly to Jeff's apartment, if there is still spirit we will all do the task that

just now.” Yohan

“Can follow? Kimmy canceled our dating plan because she had to train the younger siblings from the High School next door to

preparation of annual events. For logistical matters let me take care of.” Hans said while showing off his thick wallet

“Alright, you are welcome!” scream Made

“Hei!!! You haven't got permission from the owner. Don't be careless, WOI, I'M TALKING TO YOU, WOIIII!!” yohan shouted to Made who had already walked out of the classroom without caring about Yohan who shouted at her while waving her hand.

Jeff just smiled at the behavior of his two friends.

Jeff and Yohan arrive first at Jeff's apartment carrying some large paper cartons and

some plastic bags from the stationery store across the campus. While Made and Hans are still shopping for logistics in the supermarket around the apartment building.  As they talked about it when the lecture was over, they gathered to do practical tasks (if there was an intention) and just sleep and eat. As usual, Madam Dian, the housekeeper who takes care of Jeff's apartment, throws

smile and greetings to the boss. Nope. His superior. Jeffs. Politely

“Good afternoon, Mas Jeff. Mas Yohan.”

“Sore, Ma'am. Because today I came home a little faster, mbak Dian can also go home quickly.” Said Jeff flat

Ma'am Dian nodded, not forgetting to smile, while taking care of some of her luggage that she put on the kitchen table. Then say goodbye home.

“Mbak Dian must be school age must be an exemplary student who obeys the teacher.” Yohan said suddenly when Madam Dian

it's gone

“Hmm?” saut Jeff cuek

“Almost every day I come here, almost every day I hear and see him practice 5S.” Yohan said as she slammed her body onto the sofa in front of the TV followed by Jeff sitting on the wooden chair in front of her.

“What by the way, anyway?” jeff asked confused but his tone sounded annoyed

“5S, Bro. Smile. Courtesies. Salutations. Well-mannered. Santun.” Yohan

“Continue connection?”

“Yah's... I used to smile and say hello to my teachers, but the teachers never did

consider me an exemplary student for not having manners.”

“Why?”

“Task on, kayak Dora!”

“Heh! That's why if you speak clearly, I also don't need to ask. It's a real loss to hear your obscure rant. My precious two minutes were wasted.”

Jeff chose to go into his room to change clothes while Yohan instead grinned to hear

his friend was upset.

Trrtr.... Trrtr...

“JEFF, YOUR PHONE READS.” Yohan shouted without looking at the source of the voice

“DON'T SCREAM, YOU THINK THIS IS A BALL FIELD?” saut Jeff from the room

“WHO KNOWS YOU DIDN'T HEAR.”

“Why are you screaming, anyway?” tanya Made who had just walked into the Apartment confusedly followed

Hans's behind her

Jeff hurriedly exited the room, still wearing shorts and plain shirts that he had not worn properly

and took his phone roughly.

Made, feeling strange about Jeff's attitude, follows him out of the apartment secretly.
