This morning Toha arrived at school with a cheerful face. Him
get out of the bike parking lot and walk to the park. He just now
chat a lot with Astri, a female student from the 10.1th grade who went up
bicycles too. Ari and Nara are waiting in the park.
“Wah who already have a bustle, very cheerful,” goda Nara
when Toha gets to the park.
“Iya, ntar we promise to go home together on a bike” says
Toha is unabashed.
“Emang the Astri where is his home?” ask Ari.
“Away anyway. Well.ntar I anter first he arrived.

“Muter-muter dong lo home?” ask Ari again.
“Nothing,” replied Toha. “Eh, actually said lo Ri. He tuh

the two groups are the same Tata made his KIR project. This project was just launched
the National Youth Scientific Work Competition. Said the prize was a college scholarship.”
“O, so,” says Ari flat. Ari thought Tata wouldn't
needed scholarship.
“Eh Ri, Astri said. said Astri, before the holidays.
yesterday the Tata tuh often daydream,” cetus Toha. This time it's his tone
seriously.”Keep saying, he's seen his own speech so.”
“Truly lo Ha,” Ari so serious.
But not long ago Ari with curiosity, Wira already
come near them. And Ari was shocked to see Wira. But Wira
just look calm.
“Hai Gaes,” said Wira greeted his three friends who came
in advance,”There is new news in school?”
“Wir, lo followed ya?” ari interrupted.
“Means lo?” The question-and-return hero.
“So there is a big shadow item behind lo,” Ari said.
“Now?” ask Wira.
“Now nothing,” replied Ari.
Then the hero casually showed me the ring that was in the
his finger. A ring in the middle of which there is a red agate.
“Lo ring has it?” ask Toha.
“So gini..” Wira trying to explain.”Holiday time
yesterday, I participated in a pilgrimage to the ancestral tomb at Mount Lawu. I'm perfect
the same story I had there about our school. I kept on being given a ring
these. Make protection, he said. But used if necessary aja.”
“Bokap also has a lot,” says Toha.”Most keris anyway.”
“Lo, do not ask for protection bokap lo,” asked Ari to
Toha without further ado.
“Ngak ah! Males!” toha replied spontaneously.
“Iya, tacky ah wear that-that,” cetus Nara.
“But this is for protection,” Self-defense hero.
“Iya still the name is tacky,” Nara is still adamant
with opinion.
“Yes, yes, I do not use anymore,” said Wira relented
he took off his ring and put it in his pocket. He doesn't want the mood to be
heat due to ring problems. Especially Nara who spoke.
During class hours, officers come to the school to squirt
disinfecting materials to classes. This decision was taken by the school because many children
the sick after being found some of the decaying grade ceilings.
Spraying is done in all corners of the classroom, especially on the ceiling.
Each class is rotated alternately to spray disinfectant material. While his students
I was told to leave class for about 15 minutes. When it was Ari's turn, all the students
out class. Most of the students were curious to see their class sprayed
disinfectants.
“Ri, have you told Mr Riza about lo?”'s picture Ask
Nara in a whispering voice.
“Udah was yesterday,” replied Ari slowly.
“Kok our school even sprayed disinfectant?” ask Nara
any more.
“Gue don't know,” replied Ari. “Say Mr. Riza he wants
consultation to Mr. Solidin first.”
“Gue denger there is a plan to run out this roof construction wants to be replaced
with a new one,” Wira added.
Ari, Toha and Wira also took the time to go to the toilet. At
in front of the toilet, Wira put her ring over the vents outside the toilet.
“Challenge,” says Wira. “No can be brought in the toilet.”
“Ngapain anyway you use it so-so,” asked Ari slowly.
“Ri, you know yourself after many events in school,”
the Wira explained. “Inget never protect Tata to the extent?
I don't want anything to happen to Nara either. Especially the ghosts that are in
lo picture is still in our school.”
Ari nodded. He doesn't agree with the ring
Hero but he understood completely on the grounds of the Hero. Ari remembered
Tatas. Today for the first time he does not wear a Tata-given watch.
Looks like Ari can't really forget about Tata. He's still worried
something will happen to Tata. Ari felt that there was something Tata was hiding
from her. Especially this morning Toha's story about Astri who had seen Tata
speak yourself. But every hour Ari comes home through the school gates, intent on
forgetting Tata appeared again when he saw Tata in the parking lot with Jodi.
Especially this Friday. Ari thought, Tata and Jodi must have planned the event
they're both making Sunday night tomorrow.
On Sunday, Ari held her phone several times. Intentions
to contact Tata but he always paused. The last time he decided to
send a message to Tata. But he finally deleted all the writing on his phone
which he had designed for almost 1 hour. Until he finally put his phone in
drawers. He doesn't want to deal with his cell phone. Until about 7 p.m., then,
cellphone sounds. Lazily Ari headed to the drawer to pick up her posel. Him
thought Nara or Toha or Wira were calling her. But when I open the drawer,
there's a number Tata's calling on his phone. Ari immediately picked it up.
“Halo Ta,” said Ari impatiently replied.
“...” Tata has not answered.
“Halo Ta...” says Ari again.
“Halo Ri...” Tata's voice sounds shaking on Ari's phone.
“Ta, you have nothing?” ari asked worriedly.
“...” Tata did not answer anymore.
“Ta, where are you?”
“I'm at home..”
“You're okay, right?”
“Ri... Can I meet?”
“Ok, where do we meet?”
“You can go home?”
“Ntar your mama how?”
“They are on the go... I'm alone at home,”
“Ok, I'm there now.”
To get to Tata's house, Ari had to ride an angkot 2 times. Arrive at
in front of the house, there was a female maid who opened the gate. Ari was also escorted
enter through the side. Next to the house is a terrace overlooking the garden
broad-based. Tata's waiting there. He sat on the sofa with a face
wistful. Ari sat in front of Tata.
“Ri, you want to drink what,” tanya Tata flat.
“No need, it's okay, I'm not thirsty,” said Ari
pleasantries.
“Ntar aja mbak, if there is a need I call ya,” said Tata
his assistant.
After the maid came in, Tata did not speak directly. From
he just looked down and occasionally squeezed the end of his skirt. His eyes are visible
inert. Like most of the crying.
“Ta, you're okay, right?” Ari open the sound.
“Ri... I want a story, but I'm shy,”
“Then who is the same?”
“Too you lah.”
“Ngapain shy? I'm not ashamed of you.”
it's still there.
“You don't laugh yes,” says Tata.
“No, I'm not kawain,” replied Ari.
“You don't get mad ya,” says Tata.
“No, I'm not angry. What else?”
Tata almost laughed again, but he paused again. There is now
a little bit of fun on his face.
“Ri, my mom wants me to go back to therapy at a psychiatric clinic.” says.
Tatas.
“Lho why?” ask Ari.
“Gara-gara malam last week.”.
“Emang why?”
“That time I used my car as Jodi went to the beach..”
“Terus?”
“Yes so, in the car he kissed me on the cheek.
“Terus?”
“So he'll kiss my lips, but I won't. But
heya. Keep him so rough..”
“Terus?”
“Then I didn't want anything. When I realized, he
even fainted. I'm quick to take him to ER.”
“Kok can be so?”
“I didn't know. When Jodi realizes she's telling
her mother. Keep telling my mom. He said I was being rude and strangling
jodi's neck till she faints.”
“Truly Ta?”
“Iya so he said. I swear I don't want anything Ri time
that's. It wasn't me who did that. Someone broke into my body and he tried
protect me.”
“Somebody got into your body?”
“Yes, inget not your picture that beautiful women wear
flowers?”
“Iya.”
“She's been in my car for a long time Ri..”
“Means?”
“Iya.. At first she appeared next to me fitting me in the car time.
go home to school. I was scared. He asked me to help, so that I could
stay in my car. At first I was sent. But long ago I was just starting because
i pity. Because she said she ran away from her house again.”.
“Running from home?”
“Yes, he said he wanted to be betrothed to the same ruling in place
he is old as long as he is old. But he doesn't want to. Sometimes he cries because
remember mother. Sometimes he goes back to his place to see his mother. But he
nyamar as a cat..”.
“Black cat whose eyes are rich in humans?”
“Iya..”
“Terus?”
“Yes that is.. He is actually good. Ever dipped me
when I was about to get hit by a motorbike. At that time I wanted to cross, there was a speeding motor, and,
I pulled him along. Mostly, she likes perfume in
car.”
“But because of him, now you are told to be with your mama
come back to therapy again!”
“Iya hell Ri..”
“He's still in the car?”
“There are in the garage.”
“Kok I didn't see?”
“He does not want to be seen with you.”
“Why?”
“She is afraid of you.”
“Fear why?”
“Say sometimes he can't see you.”
“Why from the beginning you didn't tell me Ta?”
“I..”
“Say you believe in me! This means you are not
trust me!”
“Ri don't get mad..” says Tata begging.
Then Tata took out a fold of paper from his pocket and he
give it to Ari. There's a note on that piece of paper :
If you have a girlfriend
don't ask for help from other guys. Ask your girlfriend for help. So girl
don't like the benefits of people.
Ari knew the writing well. It was Nara's writing. Ari's Rage
peaked too. He's already taken his phone to call Nara.
“Ri, what do you want?” tanya Tata is worried.
“I want to talk to Nara! he must be taught a lesson!”word
Ari growled while starting to squeeze her phone.
“Ri, please do not..”
“Why? That kid is overreacting!”
“Please Ri... Please..
Tata has Ari's hand. Ari can't wear it
his cellphone. But seeing the face of Tata's pity, Ari so undo his intentions.
“Please Ri. I don't want to
you guys fight because of me..” Tata said pleading. His eyes are already glazed.
Ari is feeling sorry. He sat down next to Tata.
“I'm sorry Ri.. I don't know how to.
want to go back to the clinic again Ri, you know?” Tears of Tata are now spilling over
cheeks.
“Iya I know...” replied Ari slowly.
“Sometimes I want to kill myself,” Tata said.
“Do Not Ta..”
“I'm tired Ri..”
“If you kill yourself, I also commit suicide”
“Apaan anyway..” Tata almost laughed between her cries.
“Truly..” Face Ari serious.
“Udahlah Ri, do not joke.”.
“But if you are in therapy, I also take therapy.”
“You mean?”
“Yes later I went to the clinic, but I didn't go in. I
wait for you outside. Remember the meatballs behind the clinic?”
“Iya, inget..”
“Still like right?”
“Still be..”.
“After therapy we can eat meatballs there as much as.”
“Totally?”
“Totally!”
Now Tata's wet eyes began to sparkle looking at Ari.
But suddenly Tata's maid appears.
“Non Tata's. That's mama's home!” said Tata's maid.
Tata immediately stood up and invited Ari to move from
where they sit. Tata didn't think her mother came home so soon. Tatas
lead Ari down the edge of the dark garden. A little run they headed
to the end of the fence. At the other end of the fence looks Tata's mother is out of
automaker. But the distance is too far from Tata and Ari because Tata's house is indeed
very spacious.
“Ri, you can climb trees right?” ask Tata.
“Can,” said Ari while looking at the tree in front of him.
After climbing the tree Ari can pass through the fence. Stay
just jump on the road.
“Ta, don't kill yourself yes,” Ari said before jumping.
Now Tata's smile really comes off. His eyes are fixed on seeing
Ari jumped into the street. While in the sky the moon was so full. Tata still
bediri there imagined Ari who left him, down the road that
it's quiet and dark.
