Chandanas

Section 3

Roka rubbed her saliva roughly. His eyes blinked a few times, apparently sleeping. Lazily he turned off the computer screen along with the cpu which turned out to be still on. He turns his body to lay down on the bed, but seeing Kiran's uninhabited bed makes him surprised instead of playing. He screams calling Kiran's name, ransacking every inch of her room until something violently hits her back.

"Heh crazy, you think this is a jungle? It's 1 o'clock in the hallway. Want me to drive you out?" roka's golden voice seemed to anger Kiran unstoppably, he smashed the library loan book onto Roka in return for the act of his evil mouth.

"I thought elo said it. What's wrong if I'm worried about you?" Roka stroked his back while giving a defense.

"Alay is crazy. My house is also my house, tell me where to try." Kiran put her book on the study table then went to the bathroom to wash her face, feet, and hands before going to bed.

Roka who was annoyed by Kiran's habit of reading books late at night was unable to resist blaspheming Kiran. "Read the book at this hour, really lo. Kaga dizzy what nutmeg read this book as soon as the cane. Where all the writing is. Cwy."

"Whispering lo. Sono toothbrush, tomorrow if your teeth in lalerin is not my business." said Kiran while laying on the bed.

Kiran glanced at Roka who rushed towards the bathroom after hearing her words. "Don't stick my toothbrush, watch out tomorrow if I find traces of jigong lo nesting there."

"Dissolvent."

"Please read it yourself until page 56, after reading, done about the practice" said Ms. Mirna before leaving the class to attend an official meeting with the other teacher council in the teacher's office.

Of course, all students understand that the meeting means that all day there will be no lessons. Some male students and female students rushed out of class, some chose to run away, while the rest stayed in class to play gadgets or just talk.

Unlike usual, this time Kiran joined with her classmates to play ball on the field. Somehow that morning Kiran was not excited to read a book or do a task like he usually does.

Some students from other classes seemed excited to see Kiran, Roka, and some other handsome students from 11th grade Ipa 3. Although rarely playing ball, Kiran is one of the students who are good at sports. In some school events, he always managed to carve his name as the top score of each event inter-class football tournament.

That morning, he played very loosely and had fun with his other friends. Several times he lost focus. Since this morning he could not stop thinking about what kind of girl named Chandana was. How is his nature, what he looks like, and of course how can he like philosophy books that are often considered boring by most teenagers their age.

To be honest, when he saw Chandana's name on the school library book lending paper he didn't think much of it. But either by chance or by some means, he found the same name in the book he had borrowed from the public library. Different from before, he found Chandana's name on the right corner of the book's cover.

It seems like the girl donated her book to the public library which also happened to be borrowed by Kiran. But Kiran thought that it was no mere coincidence, it was a strange coincidence. He may not be able to confirm that Chandana the bookborer in the school library is the same person as the book donor in the public library. But at least he wanted to make sure.

After more than an hour of playing football on the field, Kiran and her friends head to the school cafeteria. Once it occurred to Kiran to ask her classmates, there might be one of them who might know Chandana. But his intention was stopped he did because there was no courage. He was also afraid that his friends would act rashly like teasing him or doing things that Kiran did not want.

Kiran has never been in a relationship with a woman for years. If it was not urgent, he would not talk or send messages to his female friends. Although there were countless numbers of opposite sexes trying to approach him, Kiran remained steadfast and had no interest at all. Therefore he is afraid that if the changes that occur in him will make others feel excited which may lead to doing things that are not necessary.

"Bro."

"Huh?"

"Lo-Lo want to help me?" After a long time without a sound, Kiran finally ventured to express what had disturbed her mind.

Roka, who had been aware of Kiran's strangeness since the beginning of the class this morning, hurriedly asked what she could do for Kiran. "Gefficacy is really lo sok-sok an ask for help. But I rarely ask for help. Please what is it?"

Kiran glanced at Roka with a cynical look, Roka's spicy mouth was indeed completely incomparable. For some time Kiran was silent, not directly answering. For some reason it was so difficult for him to express his heart. This may sound like an exaggeration, but honestly neither Kiran nor Roka ever talked about women in the past few years. He himself never wanted to know what Roka felt for the girls who had been around him, and vice versa, although often urging Kiran to start opening up to the girls, he said, Roka never really brought it up personally and seriously, just a joke that Kiran caught as something that Roka didn't really want her to do.

"Who's even diem anyway, don't make me curious dah," Roka grabbed a piece of bread that Kiran was about to eat, making the man finally wake up from the daydream.

"Gue wants to ask for help,""

"Lo, find out about.." Kiran's voice suddenly shrunk, several times his speech stopped because of doubt.

"Why the hell***** so mysterious you, where suddenly gagu all. How do you kill people?" Roka who began to grow angry with Kiran who kept circling was even more curious about what her best friend was trying to say.

"Help me find out about the girl whose name is Chandana" Kiran said as she lowered her face towards the floor. I don't know why it's so hard for him to say that. It was even difficult for him to believe that he was beginning to have little interest in women.

For the past 6 years, Roka had never once seen Kiran take an interest in women, even Kiran was very reluctant to deal with any women. And also, a few months ago had circulated cheap gossip among students of Tunas Kelapa High School who said that Kiran was a homosexual. Of course, this rumor is not true. This rubbish rumor begins when Ratih, the most beautiful student in school who willingly decides on her boyfriend - the school's basketball captain - only to get Kiran, is rejected outright in public under the pretext of Kiran not liking him.

At first everything was fine, until some students began to connect Kiran's rejection of Ratih with Kiran's daily life who never wanted to get close to women. Even one of their Junior High friends also leaked that Kiran had never once dated. Of course, Roka was furious to respond to the issue. He knew very well why Kiran never wanted to get close to women which began when they were children.

Kiran who since childhood has a beautiful face is already much liked by many women even since she was still in SD. His smiling and friendly nature to everyone makes him have many friends, but apparently it is also easily misinterpreted by the opposite sex.

Kiran, who always pays attention to everyone, was misunderstood as a feeling of liking by some of their girl friends. While sitting in the 5th grade, there were more than five women who claimed to be Kiran's boyfriend. But of course none of them is right. At first Kiran did not pay much heed to them, because it was only natural that the children behaved like that. But Kiran's nightmare comes when the five of them fight over Kiran in front of other students until one of them has a bone injury when accidentally pushed down.

At that time, instead of the perpetrator who pushed the girl, Kiran who did not know anything was the target of all her friends for the girl's paralysis. He did not know what he had done to be treated like a criminal. As time went on, he began to think that being kind and friendly to everyone could be a crime. His deep guilt and the mistreatment of his friends make Kiran begin to limit herself, not only to women but also to men. Therefore he is often called arrogant and arrogant by his peers when sitting on the bench of Junior High School.

Being silent, never answering if invited to talk, always avoiding if approached by others, becomes one of Kiran's forms of defense to avoid the events she had experienced while in elementary school. Not only the other people, Kiran was also cold to Roka. But even so, Roka never gave up and continued to be around Kiran. Their friendship that has been established since childhood is more akin to a brotherly relationship than a friendship. The kindness that Kiran had been doing all this time made Roka unable to stay still just to see her best friend slumped. Even so, honestly Kiran never really lost her identity. He still often helps others who are in trouble, even by stealth (tsundere).

Roka knew very well how difficult Kiran was at that time, coupled with the tragedy that befell Arda, her sister. Kiran continues to blame herself for everything that happened, if not for her two amazing parents as well as Roka who is always by her side, Kiran might just get worse and really lose the spirit of life.

But fortunately, the magic comes when they are almost half a year into high school. Kiran who was previously a beggar began to show change. Slowly began to return as he once was after reading history books, philosophy, and various kinds of motivational books.

Yes, although over time Kiran began to show the nature of rese and rancid as well as Roka, but it was all much better than seeing Kiran who was always silent and moody like when she was on the Junior High School bench. And now, seeing Kiran who had finally started to reopen her heart to women, was truly a real miracle for Roka.

"Heh crazy, how come you cry anyway?" Kiran who saw Roka in tears then felt astonished.

Hearing Kiran's statement made Roka's other friends no less surprised. But that's how men, instead of calming, laugh and insult all out.

"Normally do not need to look at my diamond tears." Roka downed the glass of iced tea in front of her before resigning to her classmates.

He pulled Kiran to go to a slightly quieter place. "Abis kambet what are you? Seriously wanna find out about girls?"

Kiran hesitated. "Gue was just curious. Just want to know. Not like it or anything, people have met also not."

"Yes even though it seems like there is a little progress, it seems that one of me equally you have to really dong ah love problem." Roka tried to convince Kiran that this step she was going to take was an advancement that needed to be maintained or even improved.

"Gue as well thought, I'm already big, it's not possible to continue apathy and protracted same thing that has been finished. Just maybe I should ati-ati aja yes, let the rich incident was not repeated." Kiran tries to encourage herself that the decision she has made is the best one.

The decision to reopen oneself and socialize normally with the opposite sex. At that time Kiran thought, whoever the girl named Chandana was, she should be able to become Kiran's first female friend.

He likes history books, philosophy books. There are many topics that can be discussed. Well, we do have one thing in common.

"But how am I supposed to be?"

"Alay really lo, jablay."
