ASTRONOMERS
Chapter 4 - Confessing as a Boyfriend



..."To love is easy, to keep the hard."...


...***...


Arriving at home, Astro immediately put his gray Nmax motorbike in the garage, not forgetting he also opened the helmet attached to the head. Astro massaged his neck because it felt very sore wearing a helmet and kept his head down to do something at school earlier.


However, the saturation of Astro disappeared instantly when two small women came in droves to approach him.


“Abang Astlo!!! It's been a long time!” a very thin smile was engraved on Astro's face, and it didn't take long, Astro happily crouched down to match himself with the twins.


“Months have made chicken soup, Brother eat ya?” said the first brother, Moon.


“Do not eat chicken soup Moon, not delicious! Many galemnya!” the little one who was more chatty than his twin sister instigated Astro.


“Emang Bintang know where the Moon cuisine is not good?” astro's voice changed drastically when talking to the Stars. Although his baritone voice was still domineering, the chill from Astro instantly melted away instantly.


“The stars haven't tried it yet, have said it's not delicious!" The moon does not accept.


“Stars already know the soup is not good, so Stars do not want to eat have a Moon!” comment Star again, “Udah, Abang Astlo mending eat telol dadal Star! It must be delicious, because the stars add sugar!”


“Not all add pepper?” astro Goda.


“Melica what?” Seduced stars.


“No,” Astro rubbing the head of Star and Moon together, “Abang shower first yes, out it just ate your cooking.”


“Ih eat first, ntal telol dadal cold!” Star forces.


“Iya, later the chicken is kebulgi from sop Bulan!” add the Moon to heat up.


Astro chuckled and then stood up from before them, as if their request had not been obeyed, they would have misuh-misuh in a long time.


“Yaudah Come on Astlo!” The Star and the Moon immediately drew Astro's hand to lead his brother to their playground in a room.


After they have arrived in a room full of toys and there are many other facilities, such as, Astro was immediately invited to sit by the two twins and immediately presented with a small plate containing a small cow's eye egg and a small bowl containing a small chicken aka toys they just bought yesterday.


“Abang eat telol dadal Star first!”


“Do not, everywhere fine chicken soup is eaten first!”


“Month, later sweet lasa in the telolnya gala-gala not eaten first how?” the stars don't want to give up.


“Telus if the chicken jumps in the bowl how?” Month of protests.


Astro laughed at their behavior and immediately picked up the plates and bowls of the twins together and acted out to eat voraciously. If he takes one, the other will be angry.


“Wah my brother ate it all! Fat already!”


That said, Astro just rubbed the heads of his two favorite little women and smiled back. Where until now that smile only applies to the Stars and the Moon, and no one else can see the smile other than them.

The 17-year-old man's hand seemed to be working on something, something that seemed very complicated and only a few people knew, how not? Astro's movements are full of caution, Astro's eyes are observant, until he uses special glasses to neutralize the failure.


An exposed assembly on his study desk, the assembly made by Astro from scratch and is in process. He hopes everything will go well.


Tok


The sound of knocking resuscitated Astro from his focus, he put solder and tweezers in both hands. Feeling a bit upset he opened the door, Astro is the type of person who does not like when his work is disturbed.


After the door opened to the fullest, Astro's face was more disliked, really, if he knew the guest who came before, he would not open the door.


“What's up?” Astro asked as flatly as possible.


“Papa want to talk to you,” replied the five-headed male guest, aka the biological father of Astro.


“Astro busy.”


“Just a minute.”


“Sorry, it's late,” Astro increasingly refused.


Blowing tired breath out of that guy named Jeremi, “oke, Papa will say here.”


“Pa.”


“Astro, please sign the contract of the company Papa.”


“Papa has said it 95 times, and Astro has declined 113 times, Papa is not tired what persuaded Astro kayak gini?” Astro is cynical, bored of being asked to do the same thing all the time.


“You know for yourself, right? If until Papa company falls into the wrong hands what are the consequences?” Jeremi was tired.


Astro eyeball spinning, “denger ya Pa, Papa company it is a company that Astro hates. And, now you're asking for Astro Jalanin Papa's company? Just as Papa digs his own grave!”


“At least Papa believes in you.”


“But Astro doesn't trust Papa.”


“Astro, Papa promised, if you sign a contract, Papa will give you everything you want,” Jeremi's tone of voice sounds desperate.


Astro fell silent, he looked closely at his Papa, the man was old, his life could end at any time, while Jeremi's company was on top. Jeremi must be very wary of a fall. But what power, hearing Jeremi's company alone, Astro was already very fed up.


“Astro, if Papa company.”


“Company mulu ya the Papa thinkin, until Astro Papa's biological son betaruhin, Papa do not want the past? because of the company Papa, Papa sampe relain.” Astro could not continue his sentence.


Jeremi fell silent when he knew what Astro was going to say next, he was very sad if he heard it directly.


“Udah malem, Astro wants to sleep,” said Astro immediately closed the door and sat at his study table again.


Astro's breathing blows hard to see the wide variety of electronic devices on his desk, his skill is to make sophisticated tools, but to become a successor in the company of advanced tools in a way that he hates, he's not gonna like that.

The weather during the day looks hot and luminous, the atmosphere of Republika High School is also crowded by students who do various activities. Actually there is a magnet that makes the vast field crowded by school residents. This is because there is a basketball game XII IPA 1 which is famous for talented students and also XII IPS 1 which is famous for its barbarians. However, of course not all male students play basketball, the proof is that Astro ogah-ogahan comes along and just sits in the corner of the field while reading his Astronomy book.


Actually, it is now a sports lesson XII IPA 1 but because the teacher is not present and IPS 1 men invite to compete, as a result they become a conversation there. Moreover, IPA 1 and IPS 1 students are equally famous for their good looks.


“Astro come with!” take Noval, Astro's classmate who has been playing on the field.


“No, you aja!” Astro refused.


“Ah is not good! Read the mulu book! If you read a book, what girlfriend can you get?”


“Daughter mind lo!” Astro fed up.


Noval cengengesan, “by playing basketball like this many girls are looking at, and if there are lyrics it is quite soin gebetan! Finally sleeping there nemenin.”


After Noval's words, Astro rounded his eyes.


“That means via video call! Ah you think his mind is so dirty!”


It was said that Astro was increasingly disinterested in the match on the field, and chose to stick to his thick book.


"Astrom! Sweep your hand jatoh nih!" Noval immediately crouched down intending to take a handkerchief that fell out of Astro's pants pocket.


Looking at Noval who wanted to touch her handkerchief, Astro hurriedly picked up the handkerchief quickly, "Don't hold it!"


"But sensian very lo!"


"Udah sono!" drive Astro out of dislike.


Noval approached Astro and wanted to pull the handkerchief which he said 'should not be held.


"It's all lo!?" Astro upset Noval even more pulled his hand to reach the small handkerchief.


"Whose handkerchief is that? Try looking!!" goda Noval happy.


"No mukhrim! Can't hold it!" Astro immediately leaves from the presence of Noval, while Noval is not desperate to pursue Astro until he can.


On the other hand, it looks like the three lovebirds are looking at the scenery on the field. Both women who wear knick-knacks hits and beautiful faces and one who is only in regular uniform nailed to look at the field.


Yes, again Salma dreamed, if only one of the cool guys in the field was his girlfriend, he said, surely he will be the fastest supporter and will also prepare drinks for them as in the novel he read. But what the power, appearance and face are below the standard, where maybe it can happen.


“Eh Ju, look at your ex! It's so good after you stayin!” kiki's tease to the friend on his left.


Juju looks lazy to see the tall man from class XII IPS 1 it, “free handsome, but a jerk!”


“Emang yes, men mah not enough to have 1 girl doang,” Kiki asserted.


“Males deh has a handsome pretentious guy,” Juju more upset looking into the field.


“Lu don't want to have a handsome guy? Then you want to have a guy like how? Hm?”


Juju thought for a moment, while Salma who was beside Kiki was silent on hearing their chatter. Looks like their conversation wasn't hers. How not? Juju wants what kind of man must be the man immediately wants. Another thing with him, until now there has been no man who wants him.


“Gue wants a guy who is cold, cute, cool, wah dream really!”


“If you are careless, where would you like her to date!” Kiki laughed, while Salma was still looking at the field.


Until one look surprised Salma, “Astro!!”


Feeling her friend yells to herself, Kiki and Juju come to see where Salma's gaze falls, it turns out that the woman is looking at a man with a cold, cute, cold temper, cool is entering the field arena by dribbling the basketball to the ground.


“Meh, your choice is good.” Kiki looked at Salma in amazement.


“Ha?” Salma was confused, but within seconds of understanding Kiki's intentions, it seemed that they agreed that she could be with Astro.


“Udah Ju, same Astro aja, he's your type really right?”


“Eh coking!?” Salma was surprised to hear an additional sentence from Kiki, why did Kiki even match Astro and Juju?


And the thing that makes Salma more sore, Juju's cheeks even red, even Juju stared at the movement of Astro playing basketball with a sparkling view. If this is the case, extinct is his hope to become the main character with Astro.


“Why don't you like that?” Kiki saw Salma's face strange.


“No, I want to go to the cafeteria first yes,” Salma rushed away from before them, it seems that if he is still there, speculations of sorts will come out of Kiki's mouth, he said, and his heart will hurt as usual. He did not want to find disease.


“AMEH! I PEEK ICE ORANGE ONE YES!” yelling Juju to Salma who ran and the woman went straight from there.


Yes right, as Juju's screams rang out around the field, a man on the field immediately stopped the game and exited the arena, “WOY DICKY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING, LO?” Ask someone from his teammate.


The guy named Dicky pointed at Juju, “gue wants to go to my girlfriend first!”


Designated like that pissed Juju off half to death, “Ngapain is anjir him?”


“Wah little more no drama!” Kiki heated up the atmosphere.


“HEH DICKY! YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN! HOW THE HELL? EXIT TIME?” the disappointed voice of Dicky coming out of the field did not change Dicky's decision to approach Juju.


When Dicky arrives in front of Kiki and Juju, he automatically makes the entire view of the people on the field look at them. So did Astro who was lazy and intended to leave the arena.


“That's right, I'm missing a bucin guy!” reject Astro.


“Please.. here first yes AA' Astro!” Noval pleaded with being spoiled.


“Ih so unclean hell lo!” Astro let go of Noval's rough hands, and chose to remain on the field. Because it is useless if he goes out, Noval will continue to stalk him and beg like the man had asked him to play basketball.


Back to the side of the field, Juju looked ogah see the man in front of him.


“Hai girlfriend!” dicky is smiling to himself.


As if not listening, Juju remained busy looking at the other scenery even though everyone was looking at it late.


“Udah yuk Ki, we go to class!" Juju is getting more uncomfortable.


“Eh a minute dong! When I play?” Dicky takes and grabs Juju's hand.


“No need to hold on!!?” Juju jerked Dicky's hand, feeling ungrasped.


Noval who saw the feud was close to Astro, “Tro, did you ever hold a girl's hand? Never have you?”


Astro was silent to Noval's question, so he remembered the incident he and Salma yesterday. It was a moment Astro had hoped would disappear from his head.


“Cobain deh Tro, hold a girl's hand a little bit.”


“Kemaren mah is not his hand anymore.”


“HA!!?” Noval was shocked to death, “Lo already tensed what else anjir!?”


Realizing his words were wrong, Astro immediately shook his head, “bacot ah!”


“Wah crazy Astro diem-diem naughty too!” Noval smiles seductively.


“Udah diem!” upset Astro and look towards Juju and Dicky back.


Dicky looked at Juju pleading, “sayang, sorry I did, that yesterday.”


“What's kemaren? Khilaf!?” can't stand it anymore, Juju's tone sounded half-screaming.


“Yesterday it was temen, the.”


“Temen? Temen what's arm holding, hug, until.” Juju could not bear to say the next sentence.


“Yang, you don't believe in you? I love you.”


“Gue does not love lo!” Juju refused with vengeance.


“Lu why the hell Ju? Yesterday said it wouldn't leave me, now what? Do you have a girlfriend again? you definitely can't move on right from me?” insulted so, Dicky does not accept and reverses Juju's previous words.


Juju has responded to Dicky's words, “i—iya I already have a girlfriend!”


Hearing the hesitant tone of Juju, Dicky laughed, “who the hell is your girlfriend who can replace me in your heart?”


Juju looks at Kiki for a while to give a code, but Kiki opens her eyes wide, confused by what Juju says she already has a boyfriend, but Juju is still moving on.


Juju is agitated when she gets no answer from Kiki, but when Juju's eyes are on the field, she finds a man looking at her with no interest.


Whether there was anything about Juju at that time, bravely the woman even approached the man in the field and took him directly, “dia my boyfriend now, you want what?”


As a result of being confused, “Apaansih?”


“Lho Astro! So last lu abis gandeng Juju?” Noval speculated on what Astro said a few minutes ago and made things seem complicated.


"I-iiyaa yesterday I was with Astro!" Juju felt more confident.


“Daddy lo him? IPA child 1?” Dicky looked at Astro strangely.


Not wanting to cause misunderstandings, Astro immediately let go of Juju's grasp and immediately left the field.


“Astro, a minute first!” Juju held off the man's departure.


“Apaansih! I don't know you!” Astro is frontal. “Ngapain lo ngaku-ngaku pac.”


“Astro..” Astro's sentence is cut off when a woman holding an iced orange looks at Astro with a look of disbelief.


“That's right, I want to go,” Astro's feeling is getting upset to see Salma in front of him. It feels like Salma's air is always bad.


“Awhile ago.” Juju held back the man.


“Ju, do not need to be detained so, again who is trying to believe? Astro secuek can be dating you? Impossible is!” Dicky laughs disdainfully as he understands Astro's nature. Understandably, their classes are close together.


“What? Juju Astro's girlfriend?” Salma was surprised. Juju just met with Astro yesterday. Where could they possibly have a relationship?


“Noh! Your best friend doesn't know you're dating Astro! It was so beautiful!” Dicky looks like he won here.


Kiki sneers at Salma for making things worse, as does Juju, who is disappointed in her best friend.


Salma sees Kiki confused, “why? Who says Juju pac.”


“CAN DIEM NO HIH LO!!?” Kiki pushes Salma, making the orange juice in Salma's hands just fall out and squirt around her, even the stain is also stuck on Kiki's uniform.


“ARGHHHH ANJIR SHIRT ME!!!!” kiki shouted trying to remove the orange stains from her uniform, but it was very difficult.


“Sorry, I didn't accidentally!” Salma felt guilty by helping remove the stain from Kiki's uniform.


But, it even invited the wrath of Kiki by pushing Salma to fall on the field, “Nevent need to hold me!”


The incident did not last long, but made everyone in the field very uncomfortable discussing them, especially to Salma. Even their words can be heard directly by them.


“Part of playing with people who are not as level, get dumped right!”


“Pantes is a big man! I'm not ashamed to play dateng!”


“Kasian yes, so want to ngetawain!”


The whisper made Salma close her eyes holding back her tears, this time the insults from Kiki had a big impact on her heart, really, she was very embarrassed and sad at the same time.


As well as Astro, he stared around strangely. Why do so many disrespect Salma? Though the one who encourages and is rude is Kiki.


Another case with Juju, he looked at Salma with pity, but for now his heart stopped him from helping Salma for some reason.


“Holding ice is not good! Look at my dirty clothes! You want responsibility!?” Kiki increasingly judges Salma who is still frozen in the field.


“Denger yes! Sampe my uniform can not be cleaned, you will know the consequences!”


Feeling that this incident was very hateful, the man intended to leave the field.


“ASTRO!!” the sound of screaming from behind made Astro stop.


Astro fell silent, trying to normalize his rumbling heart and his heated head from thinking so hard.


Juju yells again, “ASTRO.. PLEASE.”.


After everything in his body had gone normal, Astro immediately returned to them again.


But instead of returning to Juju, Astro's steps instead ushered him in front of the woman who was still silent stiff on the field while covering her face to hide her falling tears.


“Stand,” Tell Astro very cold.


In between her hair, Salma could see Astro looking at her coldly.


“Gue says ber.”


“Astro! How did you go to Salma anyway!?” Kiki sees Astro not understanding and is upset.


Astro heeded Kiki's question, his gaze did not switch from Salma, “lu want to stand is not?”


Salma was still silent while Astro clucked his throat, the man checked his pocket and handed a handkerchief to Salma, “ayo stood!” said.


The woman on the ground saw Astro's handkerchief, what did Astro mean that their hands did not meet in person?


“Oudah if you don't ma.”


Astro's voice was immediately cut off when Salma immediately pulled Astro's handkerchief and stood right before him.


“Astro, do you want nolongin Salma? Why me.” Juju got closer to the two of them.


Astro shifted his gaze from Salma to Juju, “denger yes, I am not your girlfriend and until whenever I do not want to be your girlfriend! So you're not so good at being a girlfriend! My advice now you buy the same brain heart, like the organs have not been willing in your body so it does not work!”


Juju froze at Astro's words, as did Salma and Kiki, without speculating on Astro's circus. Even so sarcastically all the students there fell silent, unable to say anything.


“Gini yes, I do not like this drama! So, don't be smart about my boyfriend, I'm uncomfortable!”


“Astro!” Salma intended to stop Astro's words, he did not want Juju's heart hurt.


”Oh yes, tomorrow-tomorrow do not menemenan the same him,” Astro Eyes glanced at Salma sharply.


"As.."


“He is too good for hypocritical friends like you both!”


Jamb.


Indeed, Astro's words made Kiki and Juju's face red with annoyance, Salma alone did not dare to look at the two friends.


“Heh watch ya say lo!” Dicky intends to defend Juju, “About pinter lo no rights ya ngehakimin people!”


“Terus lo no right deket same him? Have broken up!” Astro turned things around by bringing Juju.


“but good deh, finally you avoid humans do not have a heart like a girl.”


And after the lash-like sentence came out, Astro went straight from there, heeding the whispers of those who spoke of his bravery.


Salma shook her head as she looked at Juju, encoding that Astro's words were not true. But the fruit had fallen from the tree, Juju's tears were on her cheeks.


“Gue disappointed with you, Meh.”
