New Year's Eve

Pa Yusfi set foot outside the room which indicates the physics course ends. Roni's best friend Arga pulls a chair towards Alya and Sylvia

" So how's tonight so are we gonna make it new year's night?"

" I bought a new shirt"

Reply Sylvia chuckled

Alya sneered "Lo's intentions, night also qa looks like new clothes or old clothes".

Arga who had put a bag on his back approached them

" Which, later I pick up Isya yes, Syl, you wait in Alya aja kost, let que qa muter pick you up"

Alya nodded "Okay are the bosses"

The four of them had planned to celebrate the new year in the city center this year, just a walk without firecrackers without a fuss.

Alya and Sylvia walk ahead of Arga and Roni towards the parking lot. While Arga and Roni intend to go to the game store to buy the latest Playstation tapes.

" Al, I'm laper, eat first yuk". Take Sylvia with her matic motorbike

" Could, I'm hungry too Syl"

Sylvia drives her proud bike to her favorite meatball depot which is also Alya and Arga's favorite.

" Bakso 2 equals iced orange 2 ya mas"

Order Sylvia before sitting on the chair.

Alya who had sat down first to reach the croquet is a cake made of boiled cassava mixed with garlic, leeks and usually his friend sambal petis, let alone plus spicy sambal.

A serving of meatballs with hot sauce immediately sat in front of them. And according to the correct meatball feeding order, put soy sauce, add the sauce that has been provided in the bottle, a few drops of lime, and favorite spicy chili sauce.

" Al, lessin dong sambelnya, kasian tuluh, appendix" with a sharp gaze Sylvia saw the bowl of meatballs Alya who had changed color

" Yes I try Syl" while continuing to stir the bowl of meat without not one bit reducing the spicy content of the sauce.

" Al, how about Afkar, there's already your crush"

Alya moved her finished bowl of meatballs and grazed the orange ice that was only a quarter of a glass.

" Since bringing me that chicken porridge, she's never come again Syl".

" It's been almost 2 months now Al"

" It's been 52 days"

" Wuihhh, counting ya lo, really ngarep he came"

He patted Alya's right back.

" Yes, every day I mark the calendar by crossing it"

" It is very patient lo Al, yes if he also has a crush, if not, wait in vain Al".

Alya did not respond to Sylvia's remark, she simply stirred the spoon into her glass which now only left her ice cube shards

" He just broke up Syl, maybe he's breaking his heart"

" I know, but if the gini continues no progress mending lo same Arga aja Al, the more days seem he more loving lo, and you are just happy with him".

" Yu Syl, we're home, we need energy for night"

" Okaye".

After praying Isya, Alya and Sylvia were busy chatting while waiting for an invitation, just now Arga sent a message to Alya's handpone

Arga

" Which, Roni will pick up yes, because he's from his house just past the boarding house, let's pick him up"

My Sweety

" Yes, I'm with Sylvia getting ready first"

Arga

" Dandan is beautiful"

My Sweety

" Yes, who knows when you meet a handsome guy"

Arga

" do dandan deh, already beautiful my girl'

My Sweety

" So I'm dancing and what's qa?"

Arga

" Qa is"

My Sweety

" Prin plan lo Ga"

Arga

" Tau ah".

Alya chuckled read his chat, Arga was always defeated if the debate, either succumbed because of lazy riot or indeed Alya more sinter.

From downstairs came the sound of Cici calling

" Yanti, there's a guest"

Yanti who was watching television screamed

" Who are you?"

" samkur"

Spontaneous Alya and Sylvia took a look.

Yanti immediately got up and stepped downstairs

Alya shrugged her shoulders

" Qa tau Syl, I can go down qa ya"

" What?"

" Yes, what is it?"

Silent

" Take Al, pretend you're thirsty to the kitchen, wait for him to talk together"

" Cerdaaas, your IQ is above average, just this time you pointed out"

" I've been pinter from, like,,,"

Not yet sylvya nerusin said, Alya has darted running down

" Well, left out, I peep aah".

Sylvia followed down, but did not get to the kitchen, only on 3 steps so as not to be caught peeping. Alya opens the fridge

" Uh there's ka Afkar"

His soft, contrived greeting sounded so fiddly in the ears of Sylvia, a spirit who was passing through totality.

" Yes Al, how are you?"

" Good ka".

Alya closed the fridge without taking anything and sat down to join them. Sylvia patted her head slowly

" Kok qa take a drink anyway, why I came out with my golden idea earlier and you agreed, in the end qa in use too

" New Year's Eve qa out Al?"

Alya was silent, wanted to answer yes when he wanted to talk to Afkar, wanted to say no, soon the gondrong picked him up

" After waiting for her invitation Af, want to go around the city he said"

This time Yanti who helped answer, actually Alya does not need help, he just needs time to find answers

A red sedan stopped in front of Alya's hostel, a long-spirited man, wearing a black shirt with the equestrian emblem emblazoned on his athletic body, light blue jeans and a little torn on the knee. His right hand held the bitten apple phone and his left hand held the remote.

"Assynogaic"

"Greetings waalaikum"

Alya, Yanti and Afkar replied in unison.

Seeing Alya already sitting in the living room, without entering and seeing no other guests Roni greeted

" It's ready Al, go now yuks"

Alya looked at Afkar who was also looking at him

Alya seemed to want to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth.

" If you want to go, please Al"

Afkar gently let Alya leave him

Alya strode gontai towards the top floor, on the stairs there was already Sylvia waiting for her and quickly pulled her hand into the room

" Al, why did I suddenly come back?"

Alya shook her head

" Syl, I'm off going around, you're a threesome".

" It's okay to cancel, qa want me, kasian Arga same Roni Al, anyways if lo qa come, you can go with Afkar, he's aja nyariin Yanti, not nyari lo".

Alya bowed

" Al, do not be careless gini dong, this is once a year doang we can enjoy the turn of the year, tomorrow-tomorrow already there is Al".

Alya looked at Sylvia who was begging, reflected in Arga's face that was waiting for her, reflected in Roni's face that was picking her up. But imagine Afkar's face,, it looks like his legs are stiff to move, Alya just want to sit down below, just do not talk, just look at Afkar's face.

" Please Al, we're ready for this, I'll get you a cell phone and a bag lo ya".

Sylvia put the phone into Alya's small backpack. Sylvia pushed her best friend's tiny body slowly down the stairs

" Uh there's Afkar, we'll excuse you".

Sylvia passes Afkar and Yanti to the porch holding Alya's hand, fearing Alya would throw tantrums by thwarting their plans for the streets. Alya looked at Afkar who was also looking at him, this time Afkar did not smile, just looked!!!

On the terrace to the parking lot, Alya turned to the Afkar motorbike, there were 2 helmets. Alya fast loading. Why did Ka Afkar bring 2 helmets, which means he also went for a walk tonight? Yanti?? or reverse it with Hani? Or is there something new??. Alya longed to look back inside and find out what was going on, but stopped because Roni had opened the car door for Alya and Sylvia. And that night all enjoyed the excitement, except for Alya who was not upbeat.

Arga saw Alya is different than usual, tonight there is no fight, no jolts, no laughter, even Alya always approves wherever his friends want, he said, though usually Alya who often protest if the place they are headed is not according to his will.

At 2 pm they just returned home, Sylvia was first escorted to her home, while Roni took the car first to the Arga boarding house, and Arga drove Alya home to her boarding house.

" Lo sick again who?"

" Slightly dizzy Ga"

" This is the second time we walk at night and you are sick, later we no longer have to walk at night, which, I want to see you sick".

Alya was silent

" Let's take a break, if you need anything, my telfonin"

" Thank you Ga"

' Make you I'm always ready that"

" rich husband who again nyiapin wife want aja lo".

" Ooh, so yes, it means I have to memorize the vocabulary, so that later when you want to mingelirin, I just rephrase the words earlier yes"

They both laughed, and did not feel that they had arrived in front of Alya's boarding house

" Thank you Ga, I'm going in first"

" Yes, break that, dream me up"

Alya stuck out her tongue.
