Ballad of Love Son of Man

Ballad of Love Son of Man
APPROACH 2



 


Already 6 bln I studied at this favorite High School. I've also been following the extra curricular at School. From 6 extra-curriculars I followed 2 only because I did not want the activity to drain my study time. In my school there are Extra-Culricular Nature Lovers. Red Cross Teen (PMR). Theater, Volly, Choir and ROHIS. And I chose the extra-curricular Nature Lovers and ROHIS.


 


I did not expect that Aryo's sister also followed those two extra-curriculars. Even in ROHIS he became the chairman of the General as well. Wah doi tembang TOP really pojiku myself.


Because we often meet in the extra-curricular at school, we are getting closer but no word of love came out of his mouth. He often drove me home from school and extra-curricular even though secretly so as not to be discovered papah and mama. Oh yes One day Brother Aryo gave me a woven bracelet from the skin.


" Young Andrea, I'm from Labuan Bajo with my parents. Here I have a gift for you. " Said, handing over a small brown box. I opened it and saw a woven leather bracelet.


" wear. If you miss me" he said, flirting.


SERR... SERR...


It feels like my heart beats faster because it is happy. Then I put on the bracelet and didn't forget to say thank you. Since then we were closer I have started to get used to his presence.

Aryo POV


I was silent in the room. It was after escorting Andrea the girl who had stolen my heart since OSEK. I went to my best friend Haris' house since Elementary School. I told Haris that my heart had fallen in love with Andrea. A little tomboyish jolly girl.


Haris looks mangosteen while twisting his beard. Yes now Haris has kept a beard to look more Manly.


"Ar, if you feel like her, get close to her right away. Give your intentions and don't play with him. Remember the woman's heart is soft and fragile" he said


Ah she imagined Andrea's sweet smile, then her sharp nose and Andrea's face. Hmmm does Andrea still have blood? He's got himself. She saw Papah and Sister Andrea also had very similar faces to her. Andrea is also in. But Andrea's oath was not arrogant with her beauty.


Andrea is easily familiar with anyone but she is not insignificant and feels beautiful in school. Bahlan Aryo often sees Andrea hanging out with her friends who are not popular in her school but it is precisely that makes Andrea score more in the eyes of Aryo. Not like Fiona or Joana who is famous as the school flower.


Aryo feels not yet when she declares love because Andrea is still in 1st grade and she is in 2nd grade. He will express his feelings later during class because he feels quite familiar with him. While she keeps her desire to express her own feelings. There are only 2 months left for exams and class increases. After that he will express his feelings for Andrea.

The POV Andrea


I daydreamed in the room while looking at the woven bracelet I was wearing. The handsome face of Kak Aryo. I've been close for 8 months and got more attention from him.


But why does this relationship have such a limit. Aryo never once expressed his love for me. And I also dare not express my love for him. I didn't dare expect more from him because I concluded he was just liking me. Let time answer my mind. Ah, I am also still in 1st grade SMU for what I think too much about love. Entertain my own heart.


*********


One day during a school break Stevy suddenly intercepted me at the end of the canteen. But I saw he was alone with Linda. 3 colleagues who often stick like lizard does not appear the trunk of his nose.


Stevy comes up to me and sips his orange ice straw.


" Dre, I want to ask you seriously. Can I sit here? " appoint it on an empty bench in front of me. I raised my head and nodded.I stopped my activities enjoying a bowl of noodle dumplings with Ratna. I gave a code for Ratna to shift a little of her ass on my left.The long bench of this canteen is indeed deliberately made to accommodate 5 students who will enjoy school snacks.


Stevy sat opposite me. Linda sat in front of Ratna. I was gonna offer him some food for Stevy.


" Eat Stev, "I said. He shook his head.


" Thank you I ordered another meal there. Dre I want to ask you something important" Stevy said slowly, as if she was afraid of someone else's voice.


Stevy sort of put together an important sentence that he's gonna put out on me.


" Dre, it looks like you are with Aryo's sister is in a relationship, huh? I often see you coming home with him. " Said Stevy seriously.


I stopped my tablespoon. I smiled at him. I rarely talk to this girl. Even I prefer to avoid him because there are several times he insinuates me with his jokes. But I never ignored him. This girl is beautiful but she is too fond of her relationship with a boy friend at school.


"Yes, I am so close to it, "I am reluctant to answer. Then Stevy's eyeballs look more alive.


" Is that really what you're saying? Then I still have a chance to get close to Aryo Dong! " the answer is quick.


Ish this girl can't be stale.


" So it's legal. There's no problem if I go after him and get close to him" he asked again. I don't know why my heart hurts to hear Stevy.


" There was never a ban on anyone approaching it. After all he is still free not yet a man's husband" I replied bitterly.


"Well let's compete healthily! " he said while patting my shoulder. I was silent to see his behavior. And I don't know why the noodle dumplings in front of my eyes are no longer attractive.


After Stevy and Linda left, Ratna pinched me hard. I complained of pain. Ratna's face was upset with me.


" Kenpa you say it like that Dre! if Aryo's brother hears, he's disappointed !" I answered my friend diplomatically.


" i have no right to forbid people from falling in love. And again Aryo's sister has not expressed her feelings. Aren't you ?" Ratna scratched her unscratchy head.


"Hmmm complicated too" he said as he scratched his non-itchy head.


**************


And as I had expected Stevy's approach to Kak Aryo grew more intense. Like her Stevy has a new hobby following all the extra-curricular activities that Aryo follows. In the past let alone join the Ektrakulikulululululululer, School alone he is often late. There are also positives with Stevy's life changes.


And you can guess also all her maids also follow all the activities of her boss. The laughable thing happened when Stevy took part in ROHIS activities at the school mosque. At that time there was an event commemorating Isro' & mi'roj Prophet Muhammad SAW. All ROHIS committee women are required to wear white Muslim clothes complete with a hood.


I'm used to wearing a veil and Muslim clothes seem to have no trouble wearing it. Different from Stevy and his gank. It seems that he is not used to wearing a closed Muslim dress.


Back and forth they rolled up their long arms and their veils were random and not right on the head.


A ludicrous and apprehensive sight actually. Stevy at first wanted to look beautiful in front of Aryo so misbehaved when he reprimanded his religious teacher.She was noisy in the back row when the lecture took place.


"Please in the back row do not make a fuss, listen if there are people who are reading the Qur'an" said Pak Anshar, a teacher of Islam in school.


Stevy and his ladyboy were silent at once. But after Aryo appeared as a reader of the Quran translation. The boisterous sounds from behind started to sound again. So excited was Stevy he started to stand up to come forward to see Aryo up close.


But how unlucky Stevy suddenly his game was torn because it caught a nail that seemed to rise out of the bench seat.


Breeeett


Some of the teachers and students turned to the source of the voice. Seen from behind the tear it started from the bottom almost to the buttocks.


Stevy panicked and finally sat back down. The ladies were busy looking for a cloth to cover Stevy's exposed body.
