Boyfriend Lies

Boyfriend Lies
Courtship Contract



"So my girlfriend."


"What?" Again I screamed. Oh, my God, is he serious or is he joking? Why do you think the reason for dating is to get revenge?


"So my girlfriend, Dara. Boyfriend's a lie."


"What, anyway?" I snapped who did not understand the way he thought.


"Come, dating! Contract date."


Gosh darn. I felt the heat rising so constantly to the crown. I get a feeling, if it is near my face will always gawk continuously. My brain can't match the way he thinks differently from most people. "Sister! As far as I was concerned, yes, the contract was non-existent." I tried to hold back the anxiety to muffle the sound so as not to sound snapping. "There is no such thing as a contractual courtship, if there are many contract marriages."


"Married a lot of contracts?" it sounds like he was making sure.


"Yes, a lot! Drama series are many, really, whose theme is a contract marriage." Scenes of drama scenes from the contract marriage-themed series appeared alternately in my mind.


"That's, right, in the drama. In the real world we have to try new innovations. Contract Dating."


I'm gawking again. He spoke too casually, too lightly that I did not expect there to be such a man like him. "Why should you go out on a contract?" I need an explanation.


He took the time to cleared his throat before explaining in more detail. "We want revenge on our ex, right?"


I nodded quickly.


"Let the ex get hot, yeah, just one, show him in front of his face if we can be happy without them."


Damnit damnit! Why is the direction of his speech the same as Sonia's sister, huh? Are everyone's thoughts the same?


I looked more closely Kak Bagas. He looked at the watch set to his right. His mouth was again open, like he was about to say words. "When we're five minutes away. I look forward to your decision this afternoon. If you agree, please wait for me to take a break here! Don't forget to bring the same paper pen to make the agreement."


Well, even in this kind of situation the tone of speech is so heavy and emphasis! The basis is the Chairman of OSIS, not the main wibawanya.


"Ah, yes, one more!" He who wants to turn back so restrained and stand upright as the original position. "Don't tell anyone about this plan! Enough of the two of us, aja, who know."


......***......


Two subjects had already passed and I couldn't take them well at all. My brain kept thinking about the right decision about this revenge. I feel that this is not the right path, but a path worth trying. The words of Kak Bagas and Kak Sonia wove in the same core. They both suggested that I have a new lover, so that it could be shown to Arfan and Cecilia. But is it true that all human thoughts are the same? Don't I need to hear Riska's statement? Yes, who knows the way he thinks is different from Kak Bagas and Kak Sonia.


"Ris," I whispered because I didn't want to be heard by another friend. Since the Biology subject teacher was not present, we were instructed to write the questions and fill them in a piece of paper.


"Why?" ask without taking your eyes off the whiteboard that is being filled by Putri—class secretary.


"I can confide?" I'm a little afraid he's distracted.


"Sok, vent! Don't bear it yourself! You haven't been in three days, it must be heavy, right, no sharing theme." This time he said while looking at me deeply and with pity.


I smiled, relieved that there were still people in this class who wanted to hear my complaints. "Ris, if you were me, what would you do?"


"Find a new boyfriend" he said so quickly to the question.


"Ih," decakku while nudging his arm. "Think first!"


"Seriously." He said with confidence now. "You need to find a new boyfriend, Ra! Show everyone that Arfan, tuh, ex, not just a decider, doang!"


Oh my God, everyone thinks the same. I gawked with a straight look at the blackboard. My brain was washed out by three people at once. The point is, I do have to find a replacement, right? Unfortunately, I am not ready to open my heart for fear of being fooled again. However, there is one relationship that can make me get a partner without the need to open or use the heart, which is the offer of Kak Bagas. I have to approve.


......***......


As ordered, I waited for him on the roof of the building with a piece of paper and a pen in both hands. Bagas has not arrived because the bell rang five minutes ago. Maybe he's on his way here. It's okay if he's late. My intention is round and steady, so I can look at it with more positive things.


"Wait a long time?"


The voice of the person I was waiting for sounded. Right prediction. He was late, not coming. I stood up to greet him politely. Deliberately behave better than this morning because we will be business partners soon.


"If you have paper, it means deal, dong, yes?" he asked with narrowed eyes because the sun hit us.


"Udah deal, brother," I said quickly because it had started to feel the heat and burning.


Crazy, right! The two just said meeting. I really wanted to smile, but I was embarrassed because we weren't too close.


Bagas asked me to change positions. We sat on the stairs near the entrance to the roof area. Honestly, this place is better, cool, and comfortable. Without fear of dirty pants and skirts because the floor is on the broom first by Kak Bagas.


"Let me stamp the paper first!"


I handed the paper and pen to his hand. He was seen writing a few words before handing the paper to me. "Write all your terms for me!"


"I was, uh, the one that wrote?" A little nervous because it was the first time I sat side by side with Bagas.


"You first, aja! Usually girls like a lot of what they want."


Damnit damnit! Stabbing the heart, but it does have a point. As a result, as a result of his words just now, my mind turned cunning and big head. I won't take responsibility anymore now. Will not be shy anymore and directly bablas only.


I wrote down some of the terms on the white paper carefully. Thinking slowly for fear that someone missed an important point. I don't know how many minutes I spent writing this list of terms. My hand just wanted to stop after recording a point at 10. To me, ten conditions are standard. I wrote this much in the hope that Bagas wrote the terms of the same amount.


The paper that I had given the conditions, I gave it back to Kak Bagas. Without reading the contents, he quickly wrote down the terms he wanted to put to me. Not to forget he also listed the signature column that we will use as the sacral of an agreement.


"OK, now I read the terms from you, after that you read the terms I asked, huh?" the quick door I agreed with a nod.


"Terms from Dara's side." Bagas began to read the terms from me. "One, it is mandatory to treat Dara well. Two, not behaving violently despite being at odds. Three, make a favorite name and not embarrassed if called by that name even in front of everyone. Four, it is mandatory to keep the phone number and follow the social media of the couple. Five, allowed to post photos of the couple. Six, always present in every couple's post, either like or comment. Seven, come or go home to school together if the opportunity arises. Eight, must show romance in front of everyone. Nine, prohibited close to the opposite sex during the contract. Ten, it's mandatory to send word to the couple."


Bagas was silent, as if he was about to digest it. I was willing to give him time to think not to interrupt his silence.


"Why is number ten mandatory?" ask her with a flat face.


"Let me know everything, that is. If you're sick, I'm the first person who knows it. So, right, that's very convincing." I explained carefully for fear of being considered taking advantage of the opportunity to approach her.


"You're cool too, yeah. This idea I made, but you know better to the roots." Brother Bagas held back a laugh while continuing to shake his head.


"Yes, her name is also acting. If no detail can be shaken." I made the reason clear.


"But you're calm, all right. I as much as possible give you news, if we need to tuker chat, aja, every day." His words felt so promising.


"May, the hell, it's good to be kayaking, that's." I soon agreed. "The gini, brother. Girls, tuh, sometimes like pinjem-pinjeman hape. Sometimes there are also those who like to chat or gallery people."


"Oh, huh?" It was like the first time he heard it. "Yes, we're tuker chat, every day."


"I'm, uh, ready, brother. Oh, yes, so far the terms of Dara how? Fear of something more and make Brother burdened." My heart changed uncharacteristically, I was afraid there were conditions that were considered excessive.


"That number seven, I have to pick you up, huh?" tanyanya.


I who no longer want to be considered a spoiled girl to the couple hastily gave an explanation. "No, Brother, I mean number seven is gini, for example we make a deal in the middle of the road, later Brother Bonceng I make until school. Go home too, that is. Brother screw me from here, keep coming down in the middle of the lonely road."


"Where is your home?" The question sounds serious.


"Jalan Cihampelas" I said without hesitation.


"Yes, I've been getting picked up. One way, really, my house in Dago."


My hands spontaneously shook. "No need, brother. Mending lacaine as I said, so no negerepotin."


"It's exactly how you fight. Later if people see me fit again nurunin you in the middle of the road how?"


Yeah, too, anyway. I fell silent and stared at the paper still held by Kak Bagas. "Yes, already. Later Dara will often bring a motorbike, yes! Let's not be with him every day." I decided. "Here, sister, now it's Dara's turn to read the terms of Brother."


I took the paper back. My hands clasped both sides firmly out of curiosity with the conditions proposed by Kak Bagas. However, my eyes suddenly rounded when I found only one condition written there.


"Read, dong!" pinta Kak Bagas seems to know that he is jerking himself.


"This is serious, brother?" I looked at him with doubt. He who nodded his head touched my courage to start reading it. "Terms from Bagas' side. Dara must survive until the contract is declared complete." My eyes turned again towards his face. "Seriously just this?"


"Yes" he said with a gentle smile. "I just want you to last until the end."
