Childhood Match

The First Lie

Since his meeting with Lintang a few months ago, Gabby has found it easier to connect with Arnold. How not? When Arnold didn't pick up his phone, or didn't reply to his message, or turned off his phone, Gabby confirmed it at Lintang. And swiftly, Lintang responded to the message from him. Over time, the simple conversation continued and continued. They communicate with each other as if they were very familiar.

Tonight, as usual after academic activities, the cadets returned to their rooms. So is Latitude. The day-to-day activities in the field made him a little tired and he wanted to immediately lay his body on the bed. He thought about calling Gendhis, then he grabbed his phone. When he was about to call Gendhis, his phone suddenly rang, and it was not Gendhis.

"Gabby...???" The star asked in his heart.

"Heyy... Lintang... again busy?" Gentle greeting Gabby.

"Gabby. oh. no, just finished the activity. How's it? Want to find Arnold? I'll call you..." Said Lintang about to get off his bed to call Arnold who was still not back in his room at the time.

"Oh. oh... Kok.. eemmm. that is, no longer nyariin Arnold." Gabby said nervously.

"Duuuh... How do you say it?" Gabby spoke to herself in her heart.

He took pains to muster up the courage to be able to chat with Lintang on the phone without having to use Arnold as the reason.

"I guess Arnold's nyariin." Latitude.

Gabby's happy to hear Arnold hasn't returned. At least, he can freely chat with Lintang even though he just passed the phone.

"No. really. I was talking to Arnold." Gabby's lying, but clearly she hasn't contacted Arnold.

"Ohhh... then? Do you need anything?" Lintang still doesn't understand what Gabby's calling her for. Though to be honest, in the heart there is actually a sense of pleasure when Gabby contacted him through a short conversation, even though it was just asking Arnold. And now... Gabby didn't call him to talk to Arnold.

"Eeemm. I just want to say thank you..." Gabby.

"Thank you? But thanks for what?" Lintang asked because she didn't feel like she was doing anything for Gabby.

"Yaaa. Thanks for everything. Because you helped me, when Arnold was hard to call." Gabby replied with reason.

"Oh. about that." Lintang's speech was interrupted hearing Gabby's reply. Though in his heart hope more reason Gabby contacted him is not for Arnold. But he realizes that Gabby is his best friend's fiancee. Even though he knew, Arnold never thought Gabby existed.

Gabby is also confused as to what to say. He didn't know why he suddenly wanted to call Lintang.

"If you don't have to thank me. We're going to help each other." Reply Lintang a little bit there was a disappointed tone in his words.

"Yemen?" Ask Gabby.

"Yes. temen. Fellow friends, don't we have to understand each other?" Tanya Latitude ensure.

Gabby also had a sense of disappointment in her heart, it turns out Lintang only consider her as a friend.

It was so fun to talk to Gabby, Lintang to be unconscious if her phone rang.

Somewhere else...

"tut. tut...tut.the number you are going to is in another call..."

Gendhis mobile phone is not yet able to call Lintang.

"Mas Latitude again the same phone who is malem-malem gini?" Genphis spoke to herself in her room.

He saw the clock attached to his wall already showed at 23:00 WIB. He knew very well it was a latitude break. Only that night did he find it hard to close his eyes. Therefore he decided to call Lintang, maybe he had not slept either. And it turns out to be true... The latitude hasn't slept.

"But at this hour who's phone? Ah.. At most there is the task of malem. But what kind of job is it to use the phone?" Gendo was wondering.

"Udah... Dis... Dis... keep your worries away.who knows Mas Lintang again there is interest so that it requires him to call malem-malem gini." Gendo tried to comfort himself.

The conversation with Gabby is over. He hung up the phone and realized that Genphis had contacted him three times.

"Yes my... Gendhis phone? Why can I not be horrified?" Lintang was surprised and immediately called back.

Gendhis who had been waiting for a call from Lintang immediately answered his phone.

"Gendhis... You haven't slept yet? Sorry yes, just now.hpku pinned Arnold for his fiancee's phone, because hpnya said he sought not meet." One time the first latitude lie.

"Oh. Yes, I am not papa. I couldn't sleep, I kept calling Mas Lintang, didn't know that his phone was pinned with Arnold. Sorry yaa..." Gendhis.

"Ee.. uh. don't apologize, I should be the one apologizing for not talking to you first, I thought you were asleep." Lintang said nervously because he had never been dishonest to Gendhis, about anything. And see tonight? He felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

"No papa, Mum. eemmm... The latitude is fine, right? I meani... Is latitude healthy? I'm just worried, really from earlier the thought of Mas Lintang continues." Obviously Gendhis, made Lintang feel even more guilty. It turned out that was how Gendhis felt about him. Just a phone, especially if you take macem-macem? Ah.. throw away the thought Latitude.

"Oh. Yes, Dis. I'm healthy. Maybe you are tired because there are too many activities now, it becomes difficult to sleep. Mending now you rest, don't get sick..." The word Lintang upheld the heart of Gendhis.

"Yes maybe... Mas Latitude is true. Yes, Mas Lintang must also be tired. Recess is also yaa..." Gendhis.

"Okey." The word Lintang.

"Yes, Met rest yes Mas. keep health." Gendhis Message.

"You are there too, take care of yourself. I miss you slalu. Assalamu'alaikum..." Latitude.

Genthis smiled with relief,

"Yes... Mas, Waalaikumsalam..." Genphis hung up.

Gendhis was relieved after listening to the explanation from Lintang and finally he was able to close his eyes.

While Lintang.

"Huuuffftttt.. almost... get caught!" The latitude speaks for itself.

Arnold suddenly came as a surprise to Lintang who had just hung up on him.

"Heyy... Bro... Not sleeping?" Ask Arnold.

"Eh.. No Bro, just now Gendhis finished the phone." Lintang replied, not feeling well too, had been chatting diem-diem with Gabby without her knowledge.

"Oh..." Arnold did not want to take a headache with Lintang's answer and immediately he took a towel to take a bath.

"Where are you from, man? Is this the clock just back in the room?" Tanya Latitude.

"So I'm looking for the wind to walk around."

"Yes, I slept first. It's so sleepy..." Said Lintang while laying his body back down.

Arnold walked towards the bathroom, while the now-changing Lintang had trouble closing its eyes. He still rang Gabby's words in his phone earlier. She felt strange in her little heart, as if she wanted to keep in mind her first encounter with Gabby. Moreover, she diligently opened the story whatsapp Gabby, making Lintang must admit that Gabby is a beautiful city girl, sexy also modern, her way of thinking, her fashion sense, and her fashion sense, and his fondness for something is almost in line with Latitude's taste.

The night was getting late, Lintang's eyes felt tired, and finally he fell asleep.
