Between Me, You And Them

DAY 2

ELISE

The clock is 10 p.m. I stretched my body in front of the study table. Before doing the task I was indeed a video call with Sharma and Purna.

There are a lot of stories about their excitement there. It is also cool to go abroad, what else is not to use your own money. Like I could come. Like what Bang Nanda said yesterday.

Bang Nanda's.

Speaking of him, why was it so quiet after our meeting at the stop this afternoon.

Even our chat was only stopped during the afternoon in the cafeteria yesterday.

Why didn't he call me at all? Yes, although we are also usually not intense, but somehow he was not there to discuss our meeting at the stop.

Why do I hope?

I opened my WA and looked at the contents of our chat. Turns out he's online. Hm...

Chattingan who is he?

Ah sebodo! I turned off the study lamp and threw my body into the bed.

Feels El' girlfriend? Remember, do not baper, Nanda is good to all humans on this earth.

You are not special El...

I covered my head with a blanket and hurried to sleep.

Until the morning before, the first thing I saw was my HP.

Wa bang Nanda is more precise.

Last seen at 23:01

Wow, she slept too. And wow, just like who he was in touch until that hour.

Wow Elsi, you still bother to think about it. What the hell is that?

Mama knocked on my door to break my daydream.

"Not showered?" said.

"It's a little bit more."

"Tumben, it's normal that this hour is ready." Mom said as she passed. Like he was confused why there was no sound of water in my WC.

Because usually at this hour I am already prepared. At least take a shower. I don't know why I've been daydreaming so much this morning.

"Mom took you home today. About her mom not long in college." Mom said while driving.

"That's a dong. It's good El's not hot." I said spirit.

Instead of me overheating having to wait for ojol, jostling with the other kid at the stop. Rather than seeing Bang Nanda with someone else and not greeting me.

******

Today is my lunch, I decided I want to eat soto. Yes even though I told you in our school there is nothing good besides batagor and instant noodles.

But I've had enough of eating that food long ago. Hope his soto has changed her taste.

Today again I am alone.

And guess what? From the beginning of school until this moment I did not see the Nanda bang though. Not like yesterday.

As soon as it was searched it disappeared. WA also does not exist just to offer a meal together. He knew I was alone again.

Why am I so busy being annoyed with her.

Good thing she never bothered me again. I don't need salting.

I sat at the corner table, as usual. I don't like crowds.

I could've eaten with my other friend, but I don't know, I'm better myself.

Because if they have to be with each other, they prefer to hang out in the canteen until the bell enters. And I don't like it.

It's better to wait in class while watching YouTube.

Introverts, right?

Really, Bang Nanda doesn't exist.

I muttered while watching around. Did he not go to school?

Huh bodo! I'd better eat and go back to class. Why would my life be this good if there were no two of them.

"You!" I shouted as I fed the soto sauce my mouth without me blowing it up before.

Wah hot really this, Boiling directly in pour into a bowl like his.

I rubbed my hot mouth. I'll immediately pour my iced tea.

I took another spoonful, it turned out to be very smoky. Why did I play a bribe earlier.

I was busy shaking my hand in the bowl while blowing it with my mouth. I stirred up the contents so that it could cool quickly.

BRACKET!

I was surprised to hear something on my desk.

"A minute, a minute."

Bang Nanda came by while putting a fan on my desk. And pulled the cable striking her at the switch on the wall near where I was sitting.

Makes me fall into a state of confusion while staring at her behavior.

"Excuse me for a minute." He asked for a way for me. I advanced my body giving him a path with a face full of confusion.

What else is this?

As soon as the fan was on, he pointed it at me. To my smoldering soto bowl.

I was still silent while holding a spoon containing 1 mouthful.

"Wait a minute, it's cold." He said as he sat beside me and drank a can of cold cocal cola that he put in his pocket earlier.

For a moment, he approached me, and covered the mouth of the bowl with his palm.

"It's getting cold." Said again.

"Hurry a minute,"

He took a spoon from the basket and scooped a soto from my bowl. He blew slowly.

From this close distance, I clearly saw her tiny lips blowing a mouthful of soto, entering it into her mouth, and swallowing it.

I saw her little reddish lips were greasy to the soto sauce.

If asked what my level of consciousness is now, maybe only about 40%.

All I could do was watch her in silence. Every second of what he's doing right now.

"Cold, please eat. Even if it's cold it's not good." He answered casually while licking his lips affected by soto sauce.

Glekk.

I remember that night, that night's kiss. The taste of her lips is soft and sweet.

"Els? Come eat. Do you want a bribe?" He stopped my thoughts. I flinched and turned my face that was just staring at him.

I bribed soto that my mouth with haste.

Damnit...

I got hit again.

I salted again.

He is the most good at appearing suddenly rich genie. It's wrong, angel.

"Slowly slow down. secrete, this is while drinking." He said again while shoving the iced tea I ordered earlier.

I'm just trying to focus on my food bowl. Thinking about spending it soon.

I can't stand it, I was so wrong.

"If El likes soto, Entar brother take to soto tasty at the intersection of Manggis road."

As if ignoring my "Salting-an" she kept asking me to talk.

Again, I can only sit still while eating. Finished all the rice I bribed, I poured my iced tea to the end. I swear I'm like a glutton now.

I turned to him, It feels bad to just sit and go since he came.

"Wouldn't eat?" I said stale.

"Udah full." Answer it while putting an empty can of coca cola on the table.

"El gelatin ate full." Continue again.

My face is warming. Like her from earlier, from the moment I saw her lips bribe a spoonful of soto earlier.

"Maybe full because El ate her greedy times" I said ketus while standing up. He laughed and stood up as well.

"Where are you going?" I asked him to see him standing up.

"You want to take El Eleventh?" He answered while tidying up his hair that was hit by the fan earlier.

"Well? Does El know the way home?"

He pretended not to hear me. And instead pull out the fan cable and roll it up.

"So soon, this brother is back." He said, lifting up and going away from me.

And with his bego I instead complied, and remained silent waiting for his return.

"Corny." Take her while extending her palm. Take along. Now my whole body is heating up.

"What a bang." I said while leaving and ignoring his helping hand.

He walked after me. We walked together. I remained silent because I still had not recovered my consciousness.

But I lyricized him, it seems he just relaxed.

Yes Tuhaaan, why can't I be as relaxed as him anyway...

"Like soto?" He said in between our "silent.

"Eh. I like it anyway." Answer me with a brick.

"You want to take it to Jalan Manggis?"

"Hmmm...." I'm thinking. I'm confused as to what to answer.

I want to but I'm ashamed...

He looked at me waiting for an answer.

"Hmm. Look a little bit." Answer me indifferently. He nodded with a smile.

I walked back and threw my eyes away. I don't want to have long eye contact with him. Fear khilaf.

But why on these lips want to ask about yesterday's stop?

Oh, my God, but what's Elsi for?

Along the way to class he talked a lot about basketball and his life at school, even talking about Sharma and Purna who left yesterday.

But still, my brain can't digest what he says. Like I said, I'm not conscious.

It didn't feel right at my classroom door. I stopped my steps.

Trying to dare to look at his face.

"Ma. thanks ya." I said nervously. He just smiled.

"You want to go home?" Bargain it to me.

I shook my head in panic, "No need to bang. Mama's gonna go get El." Refuse me.

"OK on next time. My brother is back." He said, Holding my shoulder and passing by.

Leaving the silent me in the doorway while keeping him away.

The guy's not here, but the fragrance's still there.
