"What the hell, Jo?" Yayan looked over and asked.

"Gue kangen brother. In the afternoon we go to his house, yuk?" take Jojo.

"OKAY. Ntar afternoon I'll pick you up." Yayan rounded his thumb and index finger.

Jojo smiled with excitement.

January who heard it joined in.

"Jo, I heard yesterday.your branch is married."

"Huh?"

Jojo stared at January.

"Really, Jan? Who said it?"

"Site!"

Jojo frowning.

"Novri's girlfriend went to school in MAN as well. And he's been out of school since last semester."

"I mean you...Novri MBA, Jan?" ask Yayan.

"Siti said that." replied January as it is.

Jojo shakes.

"Sir, Jan. Brother can't be like that. He if dating never macem-macem." said Jojo, quick.

Yayan and January looked at Jojo.

"Gue often nemenin brother dating mbak. They never hug, let alone kiss. Sitting down never."

"What's wrong, Jo?"

"Yes. I am the one who stumbles in the middle of them. Hey!"

Jojo nyengir's.

Yayan rubbed his face rough, while January patted his forehead, slowly, hearing Jojo's words.

"Where do they want to be weird if you're mute, Jo? Well, it's not your turn to flail anymore, is it?"

Jojo kept quiet, digesting Yayan's words.

"necessarily too. As long as we split school, I never saw my brother again. I thought they broke up, didn't know..." Jojo squeezes her hair, rough.

"I think the inner bond of lu ama Novri dalem really, Jo. Lu kangen your brother for laughing at the feeling of the times huh?" yayan.

"Yes, kali. Some days I think of my brother, so I really want to meet."

Jojo looked down sad. He misses his best friend, Novri, whom he considers to be his own brother.

"Gue kangen you, bang!" mummy Jojo, wistful.

"Gue Denger Novri doesn't live here anymore, Jo. He lived in his wife's town and continued his schooling there."

Jojo stared at January, sharp.

"Seriously, Jan?" tanyanya fast.

"She said, anyway."

Jojo turned to Yayan.

"Yes!" whining.

Yayan who knew Jojo's sad feelings could only stare at the girl, wistfully.

"Gue kangen brother, Yan!" whinek Jojo who turned sobbing.

"Saturday afternoon we go to Novri's house, Jo. Who knows if he will come home this weekend." persuaded Yayan while gently stroking the girl's hair who only nodded lethargicly while wiping her tears and snot that came out compact without command.🤢🤮

January was very sorry to see Jojo's condition. All friends of Junior High School Jojo know the closeness of Jojo and Novri. They are like brothers and sisters.

Novri told Jojo to call him brother. And he behaves like a brother who loves his sister.

Novri always reprimands and does not even hesitate to punish Jojo if the girl does something wrong.

the flashback

Jojo is hanging out with three of his friends behind school. That day the lesson hours are over, and will be continued with additional tutoring.

"It's kind of like, Git. Can you try it?" Jojo is curious to see Sigit, Sapri and Bayu smoking cigarettes.

"Don't, Jo. It's not good for girls to smoke." forbid Sapri.

"Yes. Ntar caught your brother, drugged." continued Bayu.

"Yes, don't tell him. I'm curious about the taste of cigarettes, it's like a real pleasure." Jojo can't wait to try it.

"Ntar you're coughing, Jo. Don't you?" persuade Sigit. The wrap of cigarettes in the pocket of his school pants, afraid of being captured by Jojo.

"Ish, a little bit, Git. Very cheesy!" Jojo was about to snatch the pack of cigarettes by pulling Sigit's hand.

Jojo took the cigarette that Sigit wanted to suck without being prevented.

"Mm, sweet." Jojo tasting in cigarette foam. Then Jojo tries to suck it stronger, and as a result,

Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk!

Jojo coughed because he did not know how to smoke properly. Sigit took the rest of the cigarette butts in Jojo's hand and immediately threw them away.

"Udah said don't.masih ngeyel aja lu, Jo. Jo." Sapri rubbed Jojo's back slowly.

"Drink, Jo." Bayu gave her a glass of mineral water. Jojo drank it immediately.

Suddenly,

"What are you doing?"

Jojo gasped in shock at the familiar voice, as well as the trio of friends.

"We..."

"Nothing to say, bang. Just relax again." replied Jojo tried as calmly as possible, fearing his behavior was discovered.

Novri sees Sapri and Bayu holding a cigarette.

"Lu don't follow them, do you, Jo?" novri asked with her sharp eyes looking at Jojo.

"Ee..lt.gak, bang!" clumsy jumbled nervously towards Jojo.

"Gue tabok you yes if you dare to smoke!" threatening Novri makes Jojo even worse. The trio shrunk, scared.

"Jojo was following me, Nov. I saw Jojo maksa took Sigit's cigarette." on Yogi.

I don't know when upil dekil Yogi follow nimbrung. Tau-tauunya nongol.

Spontaneously their eyes turned to look at the annoyed Yogi who smirked innocently as if without sin.

Jojo's eyes almost came out so furious to hear Yogi's complaint about his behavior earlier.

"Damn it, upil nyempil use ngadu all. Watch out for you coming home from school I'm resetting you!" jojo in the Heart.

"Jo?"

"No, bang!. Lu..don't slander you, Gi!"Jojo tried to dodge.

"Kiss his mouth, Nov. Must've been discovered if he smokes earlier." Yogi keeps Jojo cornered.

"Dead me! Fucking yogi!" Jojo continued to curse, even though only brave in heart.

The Yogi assumption is correct. From a short distance away, Novri can smell the cigarette from Jojo's mouth.

Plakk!!!

The threat to Jojo is not just a remark. Novri's slap landed hard on the little girl's cheek.

"Sorry!"

Jojo's cheeks are flushed. The pain in his cheeks was nothing compared to his fear of Novri's anger.

Novri left without looking again. A disappointed look on his face.

"Sorry me! Bang!!!"

Jojo runs after Novri.

"Bang..please, I'm sorry. I promise this is his first and last. I won't smoke anymore." Jojo complains, apologizes while holding Novri's hand tightly.

"Gue's really mad at you, Jo. I have never touched a guy called a cigarette. Lah..."

Novri pointed at Jojo's forehead.

"Gue's disappointed in you, you know?!"

Jojo was scared.

"Yes, bang. Pardon me! I just wanted to try it..."

"Never try things that are not worth trying. If once again you like this, I will no longer want your victory."

"Don't, bang. I promise not again!" jojo said quickly while pointing two fingers.

"Good! I keep your promise." Novri pinched Jojo's nose.

"Other times if you like this again, I tell my mom. Want you?" nacam Novri's.

"Gee, bang!" Jojo shook his head quickly.

"May I be deflated if you know." murmured Jojo.

"Don't repeat, huh? Now we're in!" Novri embraces Jojo's shoulder, walking towards their class.
