Brother Gemes

Sandy

"Gue has affection. Mubazir's until now I can't share it with him." Noa monologue.

He is creating a status on one of the social media accounts. While carrying two spicy plastic keys order two akangnya.

"Wow.dapet many likes. Wih, the comments are all ajib. Uh, who is it? Sandy." said he.

The trip to Kosan is still quite far away. The motorbike, borrowed by the host to ngedate with the boarding mother.

To kill saturation, he also played in cyberspace. There was one comment from a teenager named Sandy.

'I noticed the picture, still my age. It's also if the picture is real.' Inner Noa.

"Aslina geulis pisan (genuinely beautiful)." he said.

He read repeatedly one comment from the account called Sandy. Noa wants to reply to the comment, but Sandy is out to send him a private message.

Sandy

I often see you. Noa who ngekost in kosan bu Nengsih. Bener?

'Um, who the hell is this? If I know my name, my account is not my real name. I also know I live in Kansas. He's a complex person here too?' inner Noa.

A new message came in again.

Sandy

Can I have your mobile number?

'Ask me what my phone number is for. He's not a salesman, is he?' thought.

Finally after thinking for a moment Noa told Sandy her phone number. Noa replied to a private message that just gave a mobile number, there was no long an incoming message from an unknown number.

'Quickly very direct chat me. Hm, I save her phone number first, I just bales.' thought Noa.

Sandy

This is my number, Sandy.

Noa

Oh, okay.

Sandy

I'm bothering you?

Noa

Hm, not really.

Sandy

What again?

Noa

Want to know who else. How to know me.

Sandy

Tau, you're spending it across my house.

'Hm, sebrang kosan yes. The whitewashed house, which does not look like the residents but the car in and out.' thought Noa.

Not long before she replied, Sandy sent another message.

Sandy

Can I see you?

Noa

I'm on my way back to Kosan.

Sandy

Okay. I wait in front of the gate of my house.

'Eh? Did I say I agreed to see him? Ah, yes it is up to him.' his inner self.

Noa continued reading the comments from the status she posted just now. There are two new comments from two of his best friends. The contents are always a useful tearing and insult and make his heart scratched.

In addition, two comments protested from two akangnya who said they waited a long speech.

'God, what to do. Which I use in the comments column. They are too keen to exist.' Inner Noa grumbled.

And one more comment from Tera's account.

'HUH UH? ah, really Tera. He sent me a smile emot. I'm bales emot kiss a hundred seeds.' Inner Noa show off.

While he was preoccupied with commenting, there was a teenage girl who walked from the opposite direction patting her forehead and mouthing herself, she carried a box that had been opened in front of her chest.

"Wow, kumaha ieu. Ah, nyaah acis na." monologue teen girl.

(oh, how is this. Ah, dear money).

When he almost crossed paths with Noa, Noa spontaneously asked.

"Sorry, tea. If you know, why?"

"Oh, this is loh. I order stuff online. Wrong send, the item is not this one I ordered. The courier said this is my order. I called the seller, the number is off. This I was fooled by what was wrong to send anyway." dumel the teenage girl at length.

"Oh, that's it." answered the confused Noa who had to respond with what sentence.

"Ck, you know what money I buy laen." dumelnya again.

Noa felt sorry for the woman. He can help because Mother still sends excess money for her living expenses here. Although he did not know the contents of the box, what was wrong with helping people in need.

"I just buy the goods in the box, tea" said Noa.

"Related. You don't want to know what it is first? It may not be useful for you either" said the woman.

"Originally not a bomb, I sure want to buy" Noa said with a smile.

The woman smiled with relief. "Thank you, man."

"How much do you want to sell?" ask Noa.

"So here" he said.

The teenager typed nominal on her phone to tell her the price she wanted. Without a bargaining process, Noa bought the price the teenage girl wanted.

He spent a sum of money that was immediately received with pleasure by the teenage girl. When her smile was still broken, the teenage girl handed the box that had been opened to Noa's hands and passed away from her presence.

Noa continued walking to kosan. He was curious about the box that had moved into his hand. He saw the contents of the box. He lifted a little bit from the box. Hm, a half-thigh forward sleeping suit that looks cute with a picture of braided women and a curtain of shells.

According to the teenager, this is useless for Noa. According to Noa, it might come in handy someday.

The box he closed again so as not to be seen by the people who passed by on the streets.

When he arrived in front of the house of the boarding house, he took a look to sebrang. There was someone standing in front of the gate. At the sight of his face, that person who had just stopped by commented on his status. Sandy.

The person he thought Sandy was waving, Noa did not hesitate to approach him. He was sure, Sandy waved her hand gesturing for Noa to come closer instead of calling a passing repairman.

"Sandy?" noa said with her index finger pointed briefly at Sandy's figure.

The man named Sandy smiled and nodded. Noa returned her smile. Noa noticed a different face than in the profile picture just now. Originally, she could not be rated as beautiful.

Sandy's too sweet for a female. Hm, yes, sweet. His smile was no less sweet. It's just that Sandy is not like women in general, she looks tomboyish.

"Hey, Noa." said Sandy kindly with a distinctive smile.

"Where are my knees, Noa? Here you are." shouted stepmother drama aka kang Acep.

Noa turned to the origin of the scream, Acep kang held a broomstick. Noa gave her thumb.

"Gue is waiting for you. Laen talked again." Noa and Sandy nodded.

Just two steps away, Sandy called back.

"No." call Sandy.

Noa turned and Sandy continued to speak.

"---Hm, when can I maen to kosan lo not? Or you want me to go to the mallem market."

Noa simply nodded in response, Sandy smiled in relief.

"No, where are you going? My mouth is waiting for the mouth that I want to suck." sewot kang Acep.

He snatched the two plastic contents of the spicy tutelage.

"Kang, you switched professions to be a sucker wc." joked Noa while entering the boarding carrying a box with its contents that he bought just now.

"Lo Durhaka" said Acep kang.

Kang Jhon was listening to music through his headset while having a beard. He removed the headset as Acep kang entered the room and headed for the kitchen.

"What the hell, Noa?" point Jhon kang to the box that Noa was carrying in front of his chest.

"Hm, costume for drama, kang." replied Noa origin.

"Oh, is there any drama assignment from school?" ask kang Jhon again.

Noa agreed on what Jhon guessed. He went into the room and kept the box on a mini table he had made himself.

"Hohoho..when did Tera use this?"

Noa rubbed his chin while raising a little face, he thought while grinning widely.

***

Sports hours turn for Noa class today. They play ball while waiting for the hours of sports lessons to be completed, because the teacher who teaches is not present.

"The real sleigh." exclaimed one of Noa's classmates.

"Gue is not a Nidji sleigh" said Noa, who was greeted by the laughter of the other children.

"Noa, gol'in..yeayy." shouted all of his classmates.

Noa nyengir received applause from them, women who unfortunately could not make him interested. They had called out like that even though Noa had not yet shaken the ball.

'Well I gol'in this ball, what kind of ramen, I can not shadow.' Inner Noa.

The break bell rings to coincide with the end of the sports lesson this time around. Noa who was still bathing in sweat ran to Ahmad's class. He wants to, see Tera. If he was in a fierce fashion, Noa could reason to meet Ahmad.

Ah, Tera was there, she sat still writing the remnants of the teacher's explanation just now. Noa entered the class, it was Ahmad who was aware of his presence.

"Oy, tumben lo nyamperin me." cried Ahmad.

Noa grin wide. "Pengen aja, lur."

"Jorok, haven't changed your clothes. Keringet lo, it's tired" said Ahmad who avoids Noa who deliberately squeezed sweat and even embraced Ahmad until his uniform was wet due to Noa's sweat stuck there.

"Snake."

Ahmad is the son of Noa.

Noa took a glance at where Tera was sitting. Tera stole a glance towards Noa. Sometimes he bit his lips when he looked up. Noa caught the activity of stealing the view, Tera again looked flat to Noa.

Removing the embrace on Ahmad's shoulder, Noa approached Tera. Coinciding with Dimas who entered the same class.

"Lur, ngantin. Not been to ngantin yet?"

Dimas blocked Noa's road to where Tera was.

"Lur, don't block my path." Noa protested.

"eeehh..sorry scrub."

Dimas covered and approached Ahmad. They sat there together, watching something Noa was going to do.

Noa continued walking to the place where Tera was still sitting. Tera looked down while putting her book in the bag. When Noa sat beside him, Tera was still indifferent.

"You want to get home from school?" whispered Noa.

Tera turned her head funny, her eyes were rounded and her mouth slightly gaping.

'Hm, she's sweet. Even sweeter than Sandy's figure yesterday.' Inner Noa.

He lowered his eyebrows waiting for a response from Tera. Finally, Tera nodded as well.

"You want to winnow?" noa asked who was responded to by the head from Tera.

"- Answer yes or no. Don't nod the same way."

"No." said Tera slowly.

"OKAY. I went back to class first. Go home to school and wait for class. I'm here again." said Noa.

He left Tera without waiting for an answer. He didn't go to the cafeteria with his two best friends.

'Dry change, wear a bottle of perfume to let it smell right to pick Tera up in her class later.' thought Noa who was on the verge of falling in love so much that she did not care about her stomach.

***

Back at school, Tera sits sweet on her stool. It turned out that he did not leave before Noa came to him. Noa had already sent a message to Dimas and Ahmad so that they would go home first.

During the trip Tera was silent. He looked down, occasionally looking around with his blank stare. Noa ventured into Tera's hand, and Noa felt Tera not resisting.

Noa brought Tera into her room but did not close the door. Two of his friends have not yet returned to college.

"Gue bought a drink. Take it." point Noa to the corner of the room.

There are some plastics containing snacks and drinks. Tera gave a small nod, she sat on the bed and kept her bag next to her. Noa picked up the bag and hung it behind the door.

Sitting beside Tera, Noa tried to open the conversation again.

"Why did he? You're not comfortable with me?"

Tera. That's the only response.

"Gue wants to hear the answer yes or no." whispered Noa right in front of Tera's ears who shuddered with foresight.

"No." said Tera.

Without making small talk, Noa expressed a desire at the bottom of her heart.

"Hm, let me make deket same lo" said Noa.

Tera. "It's. We're stuck."

Noa patted the forehead. "Not that, do not run around again, do not run away again, later I am tired of chasing you continue. My feet are gouging."

Tera was silent. Hm, it looks like Noa will have to be patient even longer.
