Black Room

Sincerest

You know, waiting is boring? But sincerity will make boredom as a nurturer of affection.

****

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.

I heard everything from bang wanda this morning. I was elected to represent the futsal ceremony held by the perindo party. From the chairman of perindo. That's what I know from bang wanda.

"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. None of them likes futsal. Only Aldi occasionally plays futsal. Ijep and nando prefer volleyball and basketball.

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

" No it's a fact you know" Sanggah ijep" Lu mah although naughty at school but still can boast in the field of extracuriculler. Not like us" he said.

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

Me and nando laughed. Ijep shook his head looking at us.

"Yes cave mah what. Just the garbage" said ijep with a pity face.

"If ijep mah is not a piece of garbage I'm in" I said to invite aldi to make fun of ijep.

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

"But coconut ampo"

"Yakkkk...Yes" Aldi chuckled.

"Sink down, marapung also not"---Ampo

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

"Penewwww" said laughing.

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.

Nisa smiled blushingly. "You say the same bang dikan bentar" Nisa said rather stiffly.

"Ohh. Take it, there's no use here" Ijep said, pushing me to my feet.

Aldi and nando laughed. I stand up to curse ijep. Anissa and I sat in front of the lab. My friends are still arguing. We watched them after sitting down.

"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 focused. "What's nyamperin brother" I asked at the point.

"No, nisa nyamperin's brother"

"Yes can. But why brave tumben" I smiled seductively.

"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. I can't love him. The mood was silent for a moment. The cheers in the field sounded festive when one of the teams scored. I laughed at the goal celebration on the field.

"Do you know that waiting is boring?" Say nisa again without looking at me.

Laughing eased. I feel guilty. But I really didn't want to reply to nisa's message yesterday. I don't know because of what. Until now bbm nisa also not yet I

Annisa's speechless. I realized that Annisa would easily read that I was lying. Nisa's message must be a checklis two. And if I don't have a package, I'll check one.

"The problem is also many at home" I clarified.

"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" Sanggah nisa.

I'm speechless. 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 the mother found marijuana that was entrusted with the code"

Annisa nisa is looking. Annisa and I met for a glance

"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 coming home from the field, brother did not ever connect nisa. So insignificant is nisa to my brother?"

"It's not. I just didn't 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 call nisa for a while so that nisa does not worry because brother why-why. 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.

I just kept breathing rough. I don't know what else to say. I was wrong.

"The stone withered away from annisa" Annisa's eyes glazed over

"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 has no problem with nisa" I said to calm annisa down.

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

I'm stunned. My feelings were pierced deep. Annisa is so sincere. And wasted.

"Yes, my brother promised" I smiled with two fingers.

Annisa smiled holding back a laugh. I laughed at his attitude.

"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 is not"

"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 should be more"

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"
