Boyfriend Lies

The Hidden Side of Arfan

We finished praying, giving greetings, then waiting for Pak Wawan to leave the room. Finally, the first day with the teacher introductory materials and syllabus was completed as well. We passed it without anything less.

"Ra, which way are you going, huh?" Riska first gets up, justifying the position of her belt before attaching the backpack. "Eh, don't answer me, you!" Her palm held my mouth that was about to answer the question. "You want to go home one way as well, you must be taking Kak Arfan, right?" His face turned sour. Riska until ruffled waist because just realized it.

I stood up, offset her body and asked, "I'm stuck, aren't I?" Where is it possible, right, I came home in such an embarrassing state?

"No, it's pretty, really." Riska justifies the position of my hair that is somewhat tangled with her right fingers.

"By!"

I was called, but Riska turned her head first. Someone's footsteps were heard approaching us.

"Which children's HP papers?" tanya Yoga with the position of the hands.

"There, why? Want you, yeah, to make the group?" After the break he did ask me to spread the blank paper so that classmates filled it with their names, addresses, and phone numbers. Riska's act of tidying my hair had to stop. I ended up taking the paper from my backpack and giving it to Yoga.

"That's all, isn't it, this?" he asked without looking at me because he focused on staring at the data in the paper.

"Udah, I just checked out the Class Book as well and dropped a total of thirty students."

"okay, deh. I, I did, who made the group, Ra. I'll be your admin, okay?"

...***...

I waited for Arfan in front of the class after taking Riska away. He chose to go home first, rather than having to see our affection which could make him short of breath, he said.

The watch on my left arm was slow, ten minutes past, but Kak Arfan's nose had not yet surfaced. My hands tipped to take the phone from inside the backpack, pressing the screen to just see the incoming notification. Ah, there was one incoming message from my girlfriend as it turned out. I just realized it because my phone is in vibrate mode during class.

Big brother picket first, wait a moment

Right, it's Monday. I may have forgotten the schedule of Kak Arfan's picket. I raised my face from the screen, watching the whole situation in plain sight.

Some classes have begun to empty, there have been no sightings of new students cleaning their respective classes before returning home. Honestly, this quiet situation is not what I like. Breeze during the day was cold, if you are in a large environment alone. My imagination suddenly played out, I couldn't stop thinking about things that smelled of horror.

“Dodol!” The call from the second floor made my head look up and stopped the activity of feeling the atmosphere. “A minute, yes!” His smile is so bright. Something I am grateful for every time I meet Arfan. He always gave me an intoxicating expression so I always missed it.

The head of Kak Arfan who was originally poking back disappeared after getting a nod from me. Ah, if he's been warning words for a moment, it means that the job of cleaning the class still takes a long time. Spontaneous bright ideas came to my mind, not wanting to postpone it again, as soon as I sent a message to Kak Arfan.

Dara's waiting in the cafeteria

...***...

A truly perfect idea. The school canteen is still crowded with some students who have not returned home. If so, right, I don't feel lonely anymore. Yes, even though I don't know and won't sit with them. At least, hearing the hustle and bustle of the crowd slightly suppressed my sense of horror the effect of remaining alone in the classroom hallway.

I took a sitting position near the door after previously buying cold mineral water at the tavern. Do not want to be suspected of eavesdropping on people's conversations, the phone back I use for a means of unwinding fatigue. There was no notification of reply from Kak Arfan and there were no signs of the emergence of the class group that will be made Yoga. Inevitably, I turned to Instagram, better to kill time while monitoring the news of the Korean drama that will air next month.

The fun of monitoring the news came to a halt as the corner of my right eye caught a girl walking over. My head lifted and turned towards him. If you notice his face feels familiar, it can be ascertained that he is part of the X-1 student. However, I did not dare to say hello in advance for not remembering his name clearly. Yes, rather than saying hello wrong, I better smile kindly because our eyes are on each other.

“From, yes?” As expected, he's my classmate.

“Iya. Here sit!” invite me to try as friendly as possible while shifting my sitting position. “Kok, not home yet?” I really can't say his name for fear of being misdirected.

“Not yet,” he said after sitting next to me. “My new mom is leaving.”

“Who are you waiting for?” He asked back.

“Wait for upperclassman, anyway. Want to go home together, but still picket.”

“Hah, good, yes, if you have a school sister. Back and forth can be together.” His comments can only be answered with a nod. Want it to feel good if Kak Arfan is not just a big brother, but afraid of being presumptuous because he already has a girlfriend when he just entered school.

“What class are you in?” ask again.

“Class XI-1.”

“Wah, you guys are both pinter, yes! Both from the class of excellence,” compliments accompanied by eyes that looked at me full of twinkling admiration.

I quickly brushed off his words. “Thus, I don't pinter-pinter very, anyway. I'm just lucky to be in the same class as you, but if Kak Arfan is the pinter from the past.” Buset, I'm glad to mention his name again.

“Oh, your sister's name is Arfan.”

“Iya.” I slowly turned my face towards the front. Don't want to talk while talking again.

Silent for a moment, until my opponent spoke me a few times to attract my chatting interest again. “He's not just a big brother, is he, yes?”

“Ya?” I was a little confused, hearing his question. Especially since he seemed to be holding back a laugh.

“Kak Arfan your girlfriend, yes?”

“Please say kayak, gitu.” My head lowered and felt these two cheeks heating up. Ah, nevermind. He'll find out about this sooner or later, either from me or from someone else's lips.

“Oh, so Dara's the one. Brother Arfan was my class mentor when MOPD, you know.”

“Oh, yes?” This time it was my eyes that sparkled with a deeper curiosity.

“Iya. He likes to be ridiculed, that is, the same his friends. Tikatain bucin because little said already have a girl,” he explained.

I can no longer endure the heat that is growing on both cheeks. Apparently, Arfan is also called a love slave by everyone. I think only myself got the mockery of it because it was too obvious to show affection.

“But you're so lucky, you know, Ra."

“Lucky how does it mean?” I know what will come out of his mouth. He would definitely praise Kak Arfan in terms of physicality, way of speaking, and intelligence. I've heard many compliments about her over the past three years, but I've been hearing people's opinions for my inner pleasure.

“Kak Arfan, right, handsome, wise, mature, fun to talk to, pinter anyway. Ah, another one, Brother Arfan is very good at, yes, gombalin chick.”

Huh huh? My eyes stopped blinking in surprise hearing this. Just the first time, you know, I heard people comment about Kak Arfan who is good at racing. I mean, he's good at making my heart fly, but I didn't know that out there he's also raiding women, even if it's just a joke.

“Emang time in your class, Kak Arfan likes to fight, yes?” I asked while giving a big smile. Didn't want him to know that my heart was actually a little disturbed by this fact.

“Like to compete Brother Cecil.”

“Cecil?” I unconsciously repeated the name I just heard.

“Yes, um, anyway, kidding. Children also know that Kak Arfan already has a girl, but every time he is gombalin or jailin Kak Cecil, tuh, who saw baper, so!”

“Oh, yes?” As much as possible I sounded enthusiastic so he would tell me everything in more detail.

“Iya, seriously. Many also, really, the children who told them to make it, but Kak Arfan always said that he already has a girlfriend and is not interested in moving to another heart.”
