Episode 3



The rain that had fallen since noon was indeed quite heavy, indeed,


some public transport drivers choose to go home early. Already


nearly fifteen minutes Kanaya stands at the front stop of her school, however


the transport he was waiting for was not yet seen. It's almost five in the afternoon, though,


the sky is getting darker.


The woman took her cellphone out of the bag to


send a message to his mother. He wanted to tell me that today he was going home


a little late, but it turns out that the phone in his grasp was running out


batteries. Kanaya begins to worry if her parents are waiting for her return with


worry, especially mom.


Mother is the most worried human being when members


his family went home more than usual, especially without giving news. Since


little Kanaya always scolded mom if she came home late from school because it was direct


play. So, if Kanaya wants to play with her friend, she has to go home to


the house used to change clothes and say goodbye to the mother.


The habit carried on until he was a teenager.


When Kanaya entered High School, she always sent messages to her


if you come home late because you stop by the bookstore or do chores


cohorts.


Finally, the red number 9 since then


waiting for Kanaya to appear as well. Kanaya waved her hand to dismiss


that shuttle. When Kanaya came in, it only contained 3 people. Two


middle-aged woman and one boy in Junior High School uniform. Haired maid


the length that was left unraveled it chose to sit on the right side slightly


backwards.


When the transportation he was riding was about to go, without


kanaya's eyes stare at a biker wearing a jacket


black with gray pants overtaking his transport. If you don't see it wrong, then,


the man was Abhimanyu who had borrowed an umbrella.


He came home without a raincoat?


~0o0~


“Good morning, Kanaya.” greet Edo who has been since


waiting for Kanaya's presence.


“August, Do! What tasks do you want today?” The kanaya


already memorized by Edo's behavior immediately opened his bag and took out some


task book. “Nih can be selected, want math, Indonesian, or PKN?”


“Hahaha.. know the hell you are, Nay. I borrowed a book


mathematics only, yes, if you want to nyontek Indonesian have you later


must have been caught immediately by Ms. Nisa.”


“Hm, so if you want to cheat it's a little cool, Do!


Don't everything get plagiarized!” Kanaya held out her maths assignment book


edo received it with sumringah.


“Iya, Nay, tomorrow-tomorrow no wes. That was the first and last time I had a guy.


Hahahaha.” Edo said as he rushed towards his stool.


Among the subjects


in addition, Indonesian became the subject he liked the most. Exactly,


the girl of Javanese-Sundanese descent loved literature since childhood. While in elementary school, he read books more often


pictorial stories in the library rather than playing in the yard while resting. Moments


Junior High, he was one of the first three most ranked students


I borrow a lot of books in the library.


Well, when he entered High School, from his hobby of reading it he began


a little bit of imagination into writing. Last year, yesteryear,


Kanaya was selected as a participant of the short story competition representing the Regency


Bantul to advance to the provincial level of DIY. Even though they can't win the championship


first, but Kanaya managed to get the third champion.


Once upon a time Bu Nisa-guru of Indonesian Language


teaching in his class-delivering tasks to create short stories. As such


usually, Edo who often cheated Kanaya's work without thinking long


plagiarizing the short story Kanaya made. Finally, Edo was scolded all out by


Miss Nisa for her actions is considered plagiarism. Since then, Edo has never


again ask for Indonesian cheat sheet to Kanaya.


If only in school there are Indonesian classes, then,


maybe Kanaya would prefer to take that major. But unfortunately, though,


the school only opened two majors, namely IPA and IPS classes. And at this time


Kanaya is in the XI class of IPA 2.


“Sya, you know Abhimanyu, right?” ask Kanaya


Hasya who was justifying his bangs.


Hasya turned her head, “Abimanyu the IPS boy is not it?”


Kanaya nodded, “Iya, he said one generation equals us.”


“Know, he's Dhimas. One class, one barrel


also,” Hasya said as he returned to repair his bangs.


Dhimas is Hasya's girlfriend since they both sat in


SMP bench.


“Well, what a coincidence, can not nitip?”


“Nitip what?”


“Payung.” Kanaya pulled out a folding umbrella from inside


her briefcase.


Hasya linked her two sides out of confusion.


“So yesterday I forgot to bring an umbrella. Ndelealah


rain, to? I want to go home but wait until


raine is a little. But it's afternoon


still wae deres. And finally I


pinned the same umbrella as the Abhimanyu,” explained Kanaya.


“Sek, Nay. You guys


how can I do it anyway?”


“Yo me too


don't know, Shay. He suddenly appeared


wae and minjemin this umbrella because I want to rain. He said it's no good nik uniformgu wet, right


the color is white, later ndak nerawang.”


yeah, just give it back yourself, Nay. While saying thank you, to!”


“Duh, I'm ashamed, about that I never played in class


other, Sya.”


“Halah, later


no anter wes. All of you didn't meet


Dhimas.”


“Well, even your mode is!”


“Lha earlier


he said shy to other classes, basan want to not be temenin even spelled out mode. Pie to cah iki?” Hasya grumbling.


“Yes wes, later


break my anterin to his class Abhimanyu, yes!”


“Hmm.”


Not long after, the entrance bell rang.


~0o0~


“Ran, see Dhimas not?” hasya asked Rani from the threshold


door class XI IPS 3. Kanaya tried to look behind Hasya's back.


Feeling asked, Rani who was removing the blackboard


look over.


“New to the canteen, Yes,” he replied.


“Sama Abhimanyu too?” ask Hasya again.


“Iya, ordinary.”


Dhimas and Abhimanyu are famous as two twin lovebirds


his class. Where Dhimas went, there was usually Abhimanyu who followed. Similarly


the contrary. After all, the stature of Dhimas and Abhimanyu was also almost similar.


“We follow to the canteen how, Nay?”


“But later in the canteen of many people, Sya!”


“Yes not papa to?


Stay we deketin, keep you back in his umbrella, already, right?”


“I mean that later we will be hard to hear, because it is in


kantik must be a really big race!”


“Quietly, I memorized the shape of his back Dhimas, really!


Let's find Dhimas first. Because where da Dhimas, there must be Abi as well.”


Finally Kanaya nodded and followed Hasya's steps


towards canteen.


Sure enough, just as Kanaya had imagined. At rest


like this every tavern or bench will be full of students


who fought over the clothes. Both of his eyes tried to look around looking for his back


Dhimas, as Hasya had said.


“Dhimas!” exclaimed Hasya as she managed to find her back


what sought. However, the man he called did not turn his head. Maybe because


it was too crowded, so the man did not hear Hasya's voice.


“We samperin aja!” Hasya held Kanaya's hand


towards where Dhimas stands.


“Again what to eat, anyway?” ask Hasya while she is attacking


drinks in the hands of Dhimas.


“Ealah no Cah


Ayu, to?” Dhimas was aware


presence of his beloved woman. “What's up, Nduk?”


“Then where, Mas?”


“Loh, nyariin Abi, to?


Don't think come after me.”


“Not me, but him!” Hasya pointed at Kanaya who was standing up


beside him.


“Oh, hello, Nay, what's wrong with Abi?”


“Oh, this, um, want to go back to the umbrella, Dhim. Yesterday I was


pinjem you forgot not to bring an umbrella.”


Dhimas knitted his two eyebrows. The response of the men was the same


like Kanaya's response this morning. “So I was with Abi together here, but boy nemeb wae talking to the toilet, ki. How, want to be followed to the toilet what pie?”


“Yang bener wae you,


Mas!’ Hasya pinched Dhimas' arm.


“Duh, Sakita, Nduk!”


his moans. “Lha pie? What to wait for


while you guys buy snacks?”


Kanaya seemed to think for a moment. “I'll drop you, yeah! Later


please bilangke to Abi, thanks


much, gitu.”


“Well, don't want to talk directly, Nay?” ask Hasya.


“No papa, yes! Niti to you, Dhim. After this there is


biology is about it, I want to continue studying first. You know, right, Mr. Rusdi


if you make about ki pie?” Kanaya


making arguments.


“Benev too, anyway. I haven't studied either, weh!”


“Yo wes, I


put this on, Dhim. Till thank you for Abi.”


“Oh yes, later do not love Abi.” Dhimas received a folding umbrella


it's blue.


“Ya already, Mas. Not back to class first, yes!” pamit Hasiah.


“Loh, don't want any snacks,


ta?”


“Ngak ah, save. It's wae


no bring, yes!” said Hasya while raising the drinking glass of Dhimas earlier


retrieved.


“Thank you yes, Dhim. We go back to class first!” Kanaya


pulled Hasya's arm back to class.


“Successful make a repeat, Nduk!” Dhimas waved a hand that was met with a smile by Hasya.


Kanaya and Hasya run small towards her class. Without them


realize, there was a pair of eyes watching them from afar earlier.
