Boyfriend Lies

Surprise

It's been fifteen minutes and Brother Arfan hasn't reached my house yet. First time, this. Usually if not so pick up he always gives the news, be it a message or phone. I've been biting my thumb nails short, staring at the clock stuck on the wall with anxiety. I stopped calling Arfan even though the person concerned did not answer the call.

"Sir, why haven't you left yet?" Brother Sonia who just finished breakfast was a bit surprised to see me still leaning on the guest sofa.

"Arfan hasn't picked me up yet" I said without taking my eyes off.

"Six o'clock four five, you know, here!" His voice suddenly rose. "She won't pick me up, she's gone alone."

My emotions suddenly overflowed, even though Sonia's sister just said that. My eyes grew sharper looking at the moving clockwork, but it did not bring Arfan before me.

"Have you been in the chat yet?" ask Sonia Kak while carrying shoes from the shelf and wearing them.

"From Sunday no news," I dumel slowly because it's no taste.

"Well, last time I saw you?"

I'm shaking. Last met on the school field, as he went in a hurry for the sake of a Cecilia.

"You're being ushered in, aren't you?"

"Yes, no," I said limp.

"Spirit, dong! No news does not mean the world is doomsday, Ra."

"Udahlah, come!" I don't want to hear his chat anymore.

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

Sonia's sister escorted me to the front of the gate. I heard the sound of a microphone starting to read the opening of the flag ceremony. It was definitely late, I chose to get off the bike calmly.

"Ra, you're late, tuh!" Brother Sonia stared at the gate that had been closed and locked from the inside.

"Yes, that's. How are you gonna do it again?" My words sound relaxed. But my heart says something else. I'm afraid of being punished by a BK teacher or by the team.

"Eagerly, yes! Tell me, aja, you're Arfan's girlfriend." After letting off a slight mockery in the mouth, Sonia's sister pulled her motor gas tight until it passed away from me.

My breath is heavy. However this has happened, I cannot repeat the time to not be late for school. Step shakily, I approached the locked gate, tapping the iron fence softly until it sounded.

"Ouch, ouch! This is late, Neng! Where to, aja?" asked Mr. Satpam while shouting, making some children who lined up near the post turned towards me.

"Sorry, sir." I can't say many words. Already know wrong and feel reasoned will not solve the problem.

"The line is there!" point it at those who seem to be the same fate as me.

I stepped in full of gratitude. At least, I lined up befriending three unknown people. The location on the edge of the security guard post is famous as a punishment, if you are late to school. We must have been asked to stand in the sun until the ceremony and the BK teacher nagged us to the end.

"Aren't you Arfan's girlfriend? How come it's late?"

My head turned, as did the two people lined up next to him. Ah, I met again with the curl that was the date of the date. Given his position last week, a cynical smile so tertoreh sure. "Sister isn't a fucking preacher, is he?"

The face that was about to mock me instantly turned mute. He turned his gaze in all directions to dampen the fierce sharpness of my eyes. Huh, she thought I'd just shut up?

"His girlfriend is flat, tuh, should not be late," he whispered while shifting his standing position.

My mouth grinned, still with a sharp look I looked at him. "Should be, the chat attendant gave you a real example! It's late."

"Don't talk!" The scream surprised us. My body immediately took the position of perfect attitude again. The pace of someone approaching the line of people late.

Found us who had silenced his mouth, he ended up not talking anymore, just stand up straight and put the arm behind the body in a forward-facing position.

My eyes were about to catch his face after ten minutes of silence without changing position. Wow, from the side of the show is not playing! I feel like I've seen it, but where, huh? Why does it feel foreign?

"My team takes over, ready, grak!"

Slow, heavy, but heavy. Crazy one! He should be made the Chairman of OSIS. Even the equivalent of Kak Arfan just lost. Uh, I'm going crazy! Why would I compare him to Arfan?

"Half right arm, grak!" He still gives me a cue. "Rest in place, grak!" Making sure no one was left in command, he looked at us one by one and then started to say, "You know, right, the punishment for being late and not following the ceremony?"

"Know" answered the three beside me. I just shut up, follow them. After all, I'm a new kid, so I'm less sorry about the punishment at this school.

"OKAY. Now you have to answer all my questions. Start with you!" Kak Bagas' body was facing the person standing at my right end. "Note names, classes, and late excuses!"

"My name is Karina, class XI-3, late excuse for bad luck."

I listened without taking my eyes off for fear of being reprimanded and getting over-punished.

"How many times have you been bad?" ask Mr. Tatib again.

"Just one time."

All were asked the same question, until it was my turn, the last participant who followed the line of late people. "My name is Dara Dwiana, class X-1. Reason for being late for waiting for an invitation." Suddenly my honesty got eyes from everyone.

"Wait for an invitation?" Kak Bagas' eyebrows raised next door. He seemed to doubt my reason. "Who are you waiting to be picked up by?"

"Arphan. He's, right, Arfan's girlfriend." My answer was skipped by the curl. Damn his mouth!

"Araban Wiguna?" I nodded and he returned to his voice. "You didn't know Arfan was the leader of today's ceremony?"

Huh huh? Yeah, I don't know. The person concerned did not tell one day before.

"Other time if communication, anyway, not half-and-half, yes! Kasian, right, you're late alone!"

"Yes, Brother." I answered the origin and did not want to see his face again.

"OKAY. Now you know, right, what punishment?" asked Bagas who was answered by everyone but me.

"Duck walk to class."

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

Once in class, my sweat has been pouring, passing through the temple to the chin. I walked towards the bench immediately greeted by Riska.

"Drink, first, drink!" He even opened the bottle cap, making it easier for me to drink it. Half a bottle of water I sank until I felt a dry throat wet.

"Your train is absent today" Riska said after seeing me more calm and relaxed.

"No. I was waiting for Arfan, but he didn't come" I said slowly because I lost the strength to talk.

"Yes, geez! Why wait, anyway? Obviously he left you at that time for another girl."

I don't want to answer. My eyes were blank towards the whiteboard. I didn't know my steps were waiting for him to be right or wrong. My mind was so sure that Kak Arfan must have come even though it was too late.

"Become don't come in, yeah!" Shouted the princess I ignored.

I didn't turn to the source of the voice because Riska's representative had asked, "Why?"

"He didn't come?" the question is now standing before us. "Ra, you have to go to the cafeteria now!" The princess shook my shoulders until my eyes were about to look at her seriously. "Sir Arfan is shooting another girl!"
