ARINDAS

Throne, Treasure, and Arinda

She went to school here too?

"Rin, Arin," Call Nita who realizes her friend is dumbstruck.

"Huh? What's Nit?"

"You why the hell? Who's elbow?" Ask Nita curious.

"No. It's nobody" Eagles.

He saw a man he knew. A man wearing a light grey plain hoodie, a black hat with a small embroidered text cap bearing the words Eminem, his idol. His attitude that always put both his hands into the front pocket of the hoodie, and hide his face from the general thing behind the hat. But Arin still recognized him.

Danis Mirza Mahardika's. The man that Arin liked when he was in Junior High School Class VIII. At that time, they were both in a class. A man who rarely interacts with female friends in his class. It was like there was discomfort for him to be friends with women.

Arin could not help but be ashamed when recalling the incident. Haikal, one of the male friends in his class knows Arin's feelings for Danis because at that time he carved the beautiful name of his idol in the pages of his back book. Haikal immediately teased her with a frenzy, and the man blatantly told Danis as he walked alone into the classroom where there were only three of them. Even more shamefully, the man was silent, not responding to Haikal's words, not even humming.

From then on, Haikal kept teasing her until some of her classmates found out about her feelings for Danis. Haikal's temptation ended when they stepped on Class IX because it was not classy, but his feelings for the man still lingered. And the apes, now Haikal is one class with Arin in X class. Sure enough, as the woman glanced at Haikal, she showed her mischievous smile as she glanced alternately at him and Danis who was leaning against the whiteboard.

Damnit damnit! Inner Arin.

He had already imagined the misadventures in his days because of Haikal later. Arin hopes that his friend does not tease him like he used to.

Arin sighed softly, he lowered his head without paying attention to what the extracurricular chairman described. Unknowingly, someone patted her shoulder slowly. Arinpun looked up, his eyeballs were perfectly rounded again as the sharp-leaved man smiled as he stretched out the form paper to him.

With a slightly trembling hand due to nervousness, he took over the paper from Danis' hand. This was the first time the man had smiled at her since Junior High. He always showed a nonchalant attitude towards Arin. The woman only looked at the A4 size paper she held for 10 minutes, her mind still reflected with the smile of the man, until someone approached her again.

"Excuse me, the form."

Arin looked up and gave the form he left empty to the approaching upperclassman. He glanced at Nita's empty form and gave it to the upperclassman.

"Aren't you coming?" Ask Arin.

Nita shook her head, "I don't like to go on exculpations. From SMP never come," he explained.

Arin nodded. Indeed, students like Nita look not interested in activities other than subjects. He looks like a student who loves textbooks rather than exploring school or nature.

One by one extracurricular members come to Arin's class in turn. Members of PMI, Osis, Remas, Nature Lovers, Volley, Football, Music, Swimming and others after the first break. So today is filled with extracurricular promotions only. Arin also does not follow other activities other than journalism, because he really only wants to focus on one activity only.

"Can you join us?" Asked a long black haired woman tied up, named Adlina Kirana Putri, to Arin and Nita.

And one woman next to him, mature brown skin, long whipped hair. Nerissa Arviana's. They both nodded, allowing the two women in their class to sit down, as the other seats were already full of new students on their fifth day of school.

"You're Nita, right?" Ask Kirana.

Nita nodded. "Kirana, right?"

"Yes, call me Kiki. Keep going, this is Syriac," Show Kiki to the friend next to her.

"Damn it! No yeah. My name is Risa. Nerissa. Not ae lo gecko female," Ketus Risa.

"You're from Jakarta?" Ask Nita.

"Yes. Here live with Grandma," replied Risa.

"Oh yeah, what's your name?" Ask Kiki to Arin who is busy eating his favorite fried indomie.

"Hi Arin's. Can you please go to Temenan?" Ask Risa.

"By dong," replied Arin.

"Oh yes, the sports uniform is already on the belly button?" Ask Nita.

"Udah" answered the three women.

"Tomorrow sports, right? Ah, my real males, I swear!" Risa's words showed her lazy expression.

"Sports kok males, pantes tuh arm is like a fake Bima," Sindir Kiki.

"Damn it! It is the result of hard work. Laundrian at home. So be keker gini," replied Risa did not accept.

Arin and Nita just laughed softly. He did not expect to be able to make friends like them quickly, considering that Arin was not good at getting along. Luckily they would have greeted him first, otherwise he would probably have eaten alone in the cafeteria by now.

"Hi, Arinda."

Hearing someone greet him, he turned to look for who called him. It turned out that the one who called him a man in a sweet manner, was sitting right on the right side seat of Arin with his two male friends.

"Me, Brother?" Arin asked after he glanced at the male bagde that showed a blue XI.

"Yes you" he said, still smiling. "Eat a lot, let her cheeks soften." After saying that, he went back to chatting with his friend.

"Ciyaaaaa Arin," Goda Kiki and the other friends whispered.

"Something seems to be in the lower class" cried Risa also whispered.

"New five anniversary of SMK's child has been demen. Iri deehh, "Nita's Law.

"Sst! Do not be noisy" said Arin who told his friends to shut up.

He glanced again at the man whose name was unknown. He was busy chatting while laughing softly with his friends. Clearly Arin was confused, where did he know his name, and what the sudden greeting meant.

The last indomie feed went into Arin's tiny mouth, he immediately chewed and swallowed it, then gulped down his orange ice. After eating, he rubbed his stomach because he was full. Unlike his friends who only buy snacks and cold drinks.

Suddenly Arin's gaze focused on the horde of men entering the canteen area. Danis and her new gang. It's still the same as yesterday's appearance, the same hoodie and hat.

Arin was still at home watching the cold male figure sit down and joke with his friends. All the humans around him look blurry, except for Danis. In Arin's eyes, he was the only beautiful object to be enjoyed. His laughter seemed to be the most melodious song in the female's ears. That feeling he had always felt long ago, without any interaction between them. Only silence makes him still fall into the charm of a Danis Mirza Mahardika since long ago.

Harboring feelings of like for a long time is not beneficial. Can only see, without being able to express feelings of like. Sometimes we harbor feelings for someone because there is shame, inferiority, fear to start first, and fear of feeling unrequited. There is nothing wrong with harboring feelings, only sometimes we are like crazy people who smile at themselves when thinking about people we like.
