You know, waiting is boring?


****


Sunlight pierced the leaves, soothing as me and my four classmates sat under the durian tree.


The sun this afternoon is very bright, as bright as my heart that was chosen to represent my school is the futsal ceremony between kabuhpaten in the province.


"Dikan" Call a ripo that runs from his local. Ripo is a student majoring in IPA, and local third grade IPA is under. "You and I were chosen to represent lancek manih in the field tomorrow" said ripo enthusiast.


I smile. "Yes, I've heard from bang wanda" I replied.


"We're going to be a team with yanda-yandi" said ripo looking upbeat.


"Who was chosen from another school?" My toot.


"Lacking to know. But the word bang wanda sikembar also come" replied ripo "Oh yes do not forget the diploma smp, deed, ktp, and also change clothes" Ripo continued


"Replace?" Askaqua.


"Yeah, we'll stay there" said ripo "The futsal event was held two days"


"Want to go to the hotel po?" Aldi asked.


"No, in mess" ripo said. "Oh yeah, have you asked for a license yet to go to school?" ask ripo.


"Not yet" I answered.


"Yasudah, the cave to the office used to find the hendra ferry" said ripo and passed.


This afternoon my school celebrated the 34th anniversary of school by holding a smp-level futsal competition. There are 16 schools invited to my school.


"Enak ya so be dikan ripo" said aldi "Have permission not to learn, can walk, sleep in a luxury hotel again" he said amazed.


I laughed when I heard aldi's praise. Ijep and nando agree on aldi's words.


"Ah, you're the one who's too much" said my humble.


" No it's a fact you know" Sanggah ijep" Dikan mah although naughty at school he can be active in the field of extracuriculler. Not like us. If we are what? Just my rubbish" he said.


"We?" Aldi denied "Lu only time" he laughed.


"If ijep mah is not my garbage in" I said.


"What. What's?" Sahut aldi enthusiastically awaits my words.


"But hollow coconut"


"Yakkkk...Yes" Aldi chuckled.


"Sink down, marapung also not" My head.


"Yes, just as entering class can be a problem, unplugging can also be a problem" aldi laughed out loud.


"Doggg" said Ijep shy.


We laughed out loud. Ijep, aldi, and nando became my best friends in this third grade. Aldi is a jolly man like me. Nando and ijep are very quiet. But if they get together, they're the most jailing among the four of us. We are still laughing with ijep confessions that are not recognized by his bluff.


"Bang" Call someone without an address.


"Eh nisaa" Sahut ijep. "Would you meet my brother?" Joking.


"Borrow bang dikan for a minute, can bang?" Nisa smiled blushing.


"Well, don't papa, just take it, there's no use here" said Ijep


"Uhhh sok lu kelp empty" said aldi throwing twigs at ijep and walking into the local.


"Ehhh cave still mending hollow coconut. Rather than you, coconuts leaning" Ijep and nando also stood up following aldi's footsteps.


Annisa laughs at my friends' behavior. His red lips cast a charm on anyone who looked. I smile at Annisa who is smiling.


"Why are you smiling when you see Annisa" said Annisa looking at me.


I'm surprised "Ehhh no" Elakku "What's nyamperin brother" I asked.


"Emang can not yes, nisa nyamperin nisa's own boyfriend"


"Yes can. But tumben" I said "There's a reason why nih dare nyamperin here?" Much


"Kangen" replied Annisa with a straight look at the futsal match in the field.


I just kept quiet. I was unable to respond to the words of Annisa who suddenly said kangen with my whereabouts without news these few days. Honestly, after a month of dating I had no feelings for Annisa. I don't dare to be honest with Annisa. That's why I disappeared without news.


The mood was silent for a moment. The cheers in the field sounded festive when one of the teams scored.


"Yes, you know, because you don't have a package" Sahutku.


"Many problems too. Mama's home is also angry because my brother didn't come home"


"At least my brother Ngabarin. This is not true, nisa phone often not picked up. Abis could no longer be contacted. Do you want to use the reason HP died?"


"Yes is dead, nis. That was brother"


"But tomorrow nisa still call me nja ngak adoptive brother" said Nisa. I never picked up the phone from Nisa. Even I turned off hp so that nisa stopped teasing with her nyinyir.


"Nisa knows brother's on the field. And nisa also knows that brother got angry because my mom found marijuana that was pinned bang password" said nisa and gasped at me. Annisa and I met the view "Nisa knows everything is a big brother's problem" Nisa looked back at the spaciousness.


I just kept quiet. There's nothing I can say anymore. Annisa knows from the cipher. Maybe he called the password and the password told me everything. But, why didn't the password tell me that Annisa called him?


"Nisa calls bang cipher every day just to treat nisa's worry. Nisa purposely asked bang password not to tell her brother. Nisa knows, maybe you really need some alone time. But, after returning from the field, brother did not ever connect nisa" said nisa "So insignificant nisa for brother?" Annisa asked in a voice.


"It's not. My brother did not want to be disturbed at that time. Maafff, the wrong brother for not ngabarin nisa. But that doesn't mean annisa doesn't matter. They need their own time"


"Yes. But what's wrong with answering nisa's phone for a while so that nisa's not worried because brother why-why" said nisa a bit loud "Or is this nisa just a bully for brother?" Nisa's asking sensitive.


I exhaled a rough breath. "Yes sorry, you know your brother is wrong"


"Nisa's boyfriend lo bang"


"Don't know"


"But why does nisa feel like you're not treating nisa like your boyfriend"


"Sisa. Excuse me. There are a lot of problems"


"Nisa just needs some news" Sahut Nisa looked at me.


"Make my brother tell me there's no package"


"Nisa can buyin pulses brother. But brother did deliberately disappear from annisa" Annisa's eyes glazed over


I snorted in annoyance. Nisa went back to discussing my mistake even though I apologized. And I have to be a little patient with Annisa so that there is no crying at the end of the debate.


"Abang knows brother wrong. And brother apologized. Not not want a story. But it's not time for you to tell nisa. Understand, brother's problem is quite a lot. And brother will not repeat it again" I said to calm annisa.


"Nisa just doesn't want anyone to close. Brother's problem, nisa's problem too. Nisa just wanted to involve nisa in every problem brother" said Nisa looking at me sharply.


"Yes, my brother promised" My heart smiled with two fingers.


Annisa laughed embarrassedly. "If you tell a story, Nisa can help" he said to take his eyes off me.


"So, isn't this forgiven?"


Annisa was silent with a straight forward view. I saw Annisa holding back her smile. The sign that he was no longer angry.


"Yehh even smile. Dimaaffin no" I said


"But the promise will not be repeated"


"Yes" I answered cheerfully


"Judek. Be careful if repeated" said Nisa threatening.


"Yes, don't be so sweet" Sahutku "I'm sorry"


"What the hell" Annisa blushed the porch patting my arm softly.


"Awwwh sick" Gurauku.


"Lebay" said Nisa laughing.


"Love has to be better" I said.


On the field, the match ended with the sky blue costumed team cheering to celebrate the victory. Annisa and I stared at the happiness on the field.


"Dikan" Call ripo from the front of the office "Yehh even mejeng" said ripo "Called sir hendra ferry"


"Yes" I answered.


"What's wrong with the ferry" Annisa asked dumbfounded.


"Abang in the futsal race in the field" Sahutku. "Abang nemuin pak hendra ferries" I said and walked towards the office.


"When did it go?"


"Tomorrow"
