Because Apples
Rather Sensitive



It is not his intention to sleep during the hours of lessons Bu Dewi takes place. And after Indonesian lessons, Adam had to be willing to correct a stack of answers belonging to his classmates.


Therefore, he also did not get a break.


“ Why do you? “


“ Lo senile? I was told to correct all your answers!! “ murmur Adam.


Leon also looked lethargic like Adam. It also got the same ‘gift’.


“ Was sought after Kak Nadine. “ said Affan.


Adam nodded, “ Almost every day right, he nyariin me. “


“ Is it the same with Brother Nadine? “


“ What does that mean? “


“ Alah, don't understand! “ reply Leon.


The young man screeched unconcernedly, putting his head back on the table, “ Nothing. So, stop that nanyain to me! “


“ Oi, oi, move! Miss Anin has come!! “ Dela kicked out the two young men sitting on her bench.


“ Hours I'm home right? “ ask Dita finished explaining one material.


“ Yes, Ma'am. “ replied Vira.


The symbiotic system of mutualism seems to be being used by Dela and Adam. While studying physics, Dela seemed to be a tutor for Adam. The opposite is true when it comes to English.


That's one of the reasons they both agreed to be my best friends again.


But it seems that understanding is less visible to Dita.


He saw their interactions as more than just friends. And that made him a little bit dislike.


“ Dela? “


The girl looked up, “ Yes, Mom? “


He's kind of surprised. Since when did his teacher have been by the side of the bench. The same is true of Adam who also did not know the presence of Dita. They were focused on doing what Dita had just given.


“ Are you done? “


Dela shook her head, “ Less number seven. “


“ You, Dam? “


“ Udah. “ reply Adam briefly.


“ Why? “ asked Adam because Dita did not take her eyes off him.


“ Nothin. Kumpulin ahead! “ Dita passed back to teacher's desk.


Counting about ten minutes Dita corrected the answers of his students. Eighty percent of them already understand the correct English framework. Only vocabulary needs to be added and pronunciation.


“ Astarghfirullah, Dam! I forgot! “ whispered Dela.


Adam immediately turned his head, “ Forgot what? “


Not immediately answering, Dela was busy typing something on her phone.


“ Yes, 7 laps! “


The young man immediately stared at the mobile screen of his friend spirit. Dela is the same.


No matter the interaction between teachers and students in their classes.


“ Bet meatballs, who wins whom? “


Dela turned her head, “ I hold Mercedes, “


“ I Ferrari. Kimi wins. “


“ Not possible! Lewis dong will win! “ Dela whispered reply.


Disgruntled, Adam pulls out his phone and accesses it himself. He also uses earphones in one ear.


They both seemed to dissolve in the actions of the F1 drivers. The school's Wi-Fi is very fast to access sites like ESPN, which this time is live airing the ground jet race.


It's common knowledge that they both love F1. All the students in the class knew about it. Adam even memorized the schedule and venue of the race.


Almost every Sunday he streams the race. No matter what class and lesson. Therefore, he was often punished for not paying attention to the lesson. Usually with Dela.


This time it looks like Adam will have to spend more money to practice Dela tomorrow. Lewis Hamilton is the fastest. While he joked, Kimi Raikkonen only occupies the eighth position.


“ ****!! “


Dita's ears as if standing, “ Who is it? “


Adam shut his mouth shut. His reaction was completely spontaneous out of annoyance. Nervousness just goes all over the body.


“ Who was the rude one just now?? “ ask Dita firmly.


“ Adam, Mom! “ says Affan.


The young man's head immediately looked back, “ Bucket lo!! “


Noiseless, but Affan can understand easily.


“ Adam? Doesn't it? “


“ I-iya, Mom. Excuse me. “


“ E-no, Mom. I heard Mom's explanation. “


“ Keep this what does it mean? “ Dita lifts the phone in front of her.


“ I-it, I just saw it! Not from earlier, “ elak Adam.


Beside him, Dela was acting busy with the dictionary. It's like finding out a new word to memorize. In fact, he had glanced at Adam many times by holding back laughter. He just turned off the phone in time before Dita arrived.


“ Meet me after school! “


Adam looked up straight away, “ But Mom, I have to work! “


His voice was somewhat sluggish at the end of the sentence.


Dita smiles cynically, “ I don’t care! “


***


It was almost ten minutes late for Adam to leave for work. Just because it's waiting for Dita, who's somehow doing what in the teacher's room. He also had to give up lunch and return briefly to the apartment.


This time I had to go straight to the cafe.


“ Let's go home!! “


Adam looked. Then an annoyed grunt followed Dita who was walking in front of him.


“ Want to do anyway? Wear it all up!! I'm late for work! “


Work only a few hours, still late. Somehow the boss' response later.


“ Do you have any relationship with Dela? “


The man's forehead shriveled. Not only because Dita did not give him an answer, but also because of his question.


“ I don't understand what you mean, “ replied Adam shook his head.


“ You guys dating? “ ask Dita.


“ Don't! What is that cake?! “


“ Serious? Your closeness makes others misunderstand, Dam! “ ‘One of them is me.’ Continue Dita in the heart.


“ Yes, his name is my friend. I'm not dating Dela. “


“ Alah, say it! Crazy people also know that you're dating. Very familiar, “


Declare upset about the success of getting out. Feeling confused with Dita's mind.


“ Tuh, right? You don't answer anymore! “


“ Yes, yes, yes. Whatever. “ reply Adam lazy.


That's not the answer I wanted. He actually also stuck his own question. Trying to get rid of the pain when asking questions like that.


Dita is not unaware of the strange noise every time with Adam. Yet he chose to think rationally, about the meaning of that sense.


Of love?


Huh, how long has he forgotten that feeling. Last time was in 12th grade. Break up on the grounds that his ex cheated.


And now the same feeling is coming back, to different people. On a man who was even two years younger than himself.


Many men came near him. But nothing has caught his attention.


Until a few months ago.


The first time he met Adam was on the road. Continues by becoming the teacher of the handsome young man. Get to know a little more about Adam.


Not until one year he knew her, there was already a sense of comfort with Adam.


I don't know what Adam was thinking, Dita didn't want to know. All he wanted was to be as familiar as possible with his protege. Little by little trying to eliminate the awkwardness.


“ Home what time will it be? “


Adam turned his head, “ Afternoon, before Magrib. “


“ Night is still working? “ ask Dita again.


“ Yes, kayak usually. “


Assume that understanding is gained by Adam.


“ What are you doing today? “


“ What does that mean? “ Back asked confused.


“ Looks like a real touch when you talk about something. “


“ Something? Try to be more specific, deh. I'm getting confused. “


“ You don't like it if I'm close to Dela or others. “ explained Adam slowly. Fear of his interlocutor being offended.


Dita's footsteps stopped. Adam stopped too.


Staring at Dita was confused because the girl did not speak.


“ Why? “


Dita shaking. Continue the steps towards the cafe.


Adam was astonished, Dita was doubtful.
