THE EPS 29
Entering the school area with a shining face, just this time it happened to me. For some reason, it feels so beautiful today. Although many of the students looked at me cynically, I ignored them. I want to learn to be ignorant and not care about other people's comments, except constructive comments.
I spread my eyes around, where is Mas Gema? I want to share happiness.
But, will his attitude change after yesterday's incident? To be honest, I never thought he would express his feelings.
Never mind revealing, I didn't expect him to have any more taste.
Granted, huh? Is there no natural friendship of the opposite sex?
Come to think of it, now I doubt it. It would be awkward, wouldn't it, if I approached her with a big smile?
I lowered my head, walking while looking at my footsteps passing through so many white ceramics. The desire to find Mas Gema, extinct just like that.
“Aira!”
My eyes immediately fell on someone who called my name.
Mas Echoes?
He was sitting on the sidelines holding a basketball. Oh, today's her first lesson in sports?
I saw Mas Gema's hand waving, it seemed like he was calling me to approach him. I decided to put my foot up, get to him.
“You are called even dumb?” Ask Mas Echo. My mind is a little bit stuck.
His reaction seemed like nothing had happened?
He clasped my hand, “here sat. How to keep silent?” Ask him again.
I finally sat next to him.
“Mas, Mas Gema abis why?”
The reason I asked like that was because I saw a lot of sweat coming out of his forehead.
“I? End of morning exercise.”
“Tumben? Lesson hours haven't started yet?”
“Iya. Let my day stay bright.”
I am more confused by his words. Just this time I saw Mas Gema sweating in the morning at school. Even he looked very tired, his breathing was still going down.
“Udah lupain. You were ushered in Mas Raksa?”
He's like the usual, huh? Am I overreacting?
I smiled as I nodded, “iya. But he went straight to Jakarta.”
I saw his reaction. His face turned in another direction, more precisely his back to me. She soon looked back at me with a smile.
“Wah. How is everything clear?”
Honestly speaking. The conversation with Mas Raksa made my spirit burn again.
“Aduh. I feel so stupid, Mas.”
“Cuman for misunderstanding, my life instantly changed one hundred and eighty degrees.”
“So I'll be like the most broken man. Hurtiest. Most disappointed.”
“Padah, it was all a misunderstanding. Just because I don't want to hear other people's explanations.”
“I'm so satisfied.”
Do you laugh Echoes?
“Hahaha. You are very excited.”
“You can't regret it, ra. It all happened no coincidence either.”
“Again this process so you get older, right?”
I agree! My head nods with spirit.
“Bene. I remember, Mas Gema used to say that, it could be everything just misunderstood.”
I saw him thinking, maybe he forgot? But I remember what he said.
“Ihh! That time, Mom. When we first met in London. I called Mas Gema while crying.”
“Ohh. The one we met at the steakhouse near Mbah's house?”
I nodded, confirming his words.
“That time you were so limp like people had not eaten. Moist eyes, red nose, lip—”
“Ihh, don't follow dong. Point is not that part. I'm embarrassed.”
He laughed out loud while rubbing my head. Really, his attitude had not changed one bit.
“OK... Sorry-sorry.”
“That time right, Mas Gema said, maybe everything I told you was just a misunderstanding. But I don't believe that.”
“Ehh, it turned out to be true just misunderstood.”
“So?” Ask.
“So... Mas Raksa is not married to Ms Caeera!” I'm spirited.
A sincere smile was painted on his lips. Somehow, how could I feel, there was sadness and disappointment there.
“Good dong, means your problem is clear?”
“Maybe?”
“Why?”
I am also confused as to why.
“Entah.”
“You're.”
“Hopefully clear, Mas.”
“Amin.”
After that, silence hit us.
“Hm. Ra.”
My head is pointing at him.
“I want to talk seriously.”
Seriously talk? My heart was beating fast. Is the new problem coming back?
“Before I apologized to you, Ra.”
“After this, you can if you want to not talk to Mas again. All decisions are the same with you.”
What's the matter? How is the atmosphere so gripping? Tumben once Mas Gema spoke like this.
“What's up, Mas?”
Trings... Trings...
Ah, crap! The bell in the first lesson suddenly rang. Why do we have to be in such a serious situation? Everything is hanging. I don't like that.
“You go to class first. Don't be late, first hour Adhi sir, right? Hii, killer.”
He said as if he wanted to find an atmosphere. But, it can't just be liquid. Like ice cubes, there must be a process by which he can return to clear water.
“I want to hear everything until it's done. Newly can focus on learning math.”
“Can't, Ra. Look, my classmate has made his way here.”
He stroked my back, “we continue later in the canteen. Okay?”
No. gabe. Can't just disappear in my mind.
“Arek wedok, what's here? Really good?” Sindir Kak Mayang who just came.
Ah, goddamn. This attached grandmother is bothering me again.
“We met in the cafeteria, the first break time!” My message to Mas Gema before moving on.
He just nodded with a smile.
“Don't be horrified said grandma attach.” His whisper.
I smiled a little at the whisper of Mas Echo. It's definitely an allusion to Kak Mayang.
“It's so hot, it turns out there are hell sparks here.” My insinuation when I want to pass by Kak Mayang.
...🤟...
Hours of lesson after hours of lessons passed. No science has entered my brain. All this is wrong Mas Gema, because he made it all hang.
What does he want to talk about? Huhh, is there a new problem coming up?
The first break bell rings. I immediately rushed to put the stationery into the bag. Then take the phone from under the table.
My smile was painted again, when I saw the message from Mas Raksa.
Mas Raksa
09.45 WIB
I rested in the rest area for a while.
Very anxious. Yesterday Mas Raksa himself unblocked his number on my phone. There is a wind what is he up to send a message of the activity that is being done?
^^^Good. TTDJ.^^^
^^^09.47 WIB^^^
Have you eaten?
09.47 WIB
^^^OH YES!^^^
^^^09.48 WIB^^^
^^^Gue met Mas Gema first, yes.^^^
^^^ There is something he wants to talk about.^^^
^^^09.48 WIB^^^
Okay.
May all business, be clear soon.
09.48 WIB
Tidka again I reply to Mas Raksa's message. I only replied by saying amen in my heart.
My footsteps walked quite quickly to the cafeteria. Meet Mas Gema, so that all the problems are quickly solved.
I saw that he was sitting on his own while playing with a cell phone. Seriously enough, I didn't realize I was sitting in front of him.
“Mas?”
Mas Gema was quite surprised, the reflex he put his phone on the table with a prone position.
“Eh, Ra? Since when?” Tanya Mas Echo was a little absentminded.
“Newly sit. Mas Gema haven't ordered?”
“Udah, already. I ordered two bowls of meatballs.”
“Suwun, Mas.” I say thank you for the kindness of Mas Gema.
“OK. So, continued the chat this morning, how?” Seriously many. Honestly, right now I avoid pleasantries.
“Oh. Are you still curious about it?”
I decided not to answer the question.
“So like this, Ra. Remember Mas request, yes.”
“After this, if you want not to know me again, it's okay.”
“You're angry, no problem.”
“So, Mas serahin all to you.”
Seems serious?
“On behalf of my Brother, I'm sorry about you, yes, Ra.”
Brother Mas Echo? Wh who? I don't seem to know. How could his brother have been wrong towards me?
“Meanway? I don't know him.”
Mas Gema took out a Student Card from his wallet. I took it as soon as he put it on the table.
Honestly, my eyes were wide open to see the long name Mas Gema.
Gemawan De Geass's.
De Geass's?
Elvira De Geass's?
My eyes took turns looking at the Student Card with Mas Gema.
So unreliable. I took the phone out of a gray skirt pocket. Google's history gave rise to the name Elvira De Geass.
Doesn't it? Is it the sister of Elvira?
My hands are limp on the table, so is my phone.
“Ra, I'm really sorry.”
“Mas do not want you disappointed, so be honest with you.”
“I guess, by threatening Brother Elvira, he will stop. But I was really angry when you were held captive in the car.”
I chose to hear all of Mas Gema's explanations. Don't know what to do.
Disappointed? No. gabe. I'm not disappointed one bit. Moreover, the nature of Mas Gema is very inversely proportional to Elvira.
I can't just blame him. Indeed who would want to be born as his sister Elvira, a beautiful spiff who is very cruel and crazy power.
Quickly, at that time Elvira had spoken about her sister. I was confused by the meaning of his words. It turned out, in front of me right now was the younger brother he was referring to?
Rather than being disappointed, I was more afraid. Afraid of dealing with a big family like them. A family that has a great influence in the city where I live.
“Ra. It's all in your hands. I will not forbid you to make a decision, whatever it is.”
I ventured to express what I was thinking.
“Mas. I'm not disappointed one bit. Because I know, Mas Gema is not the same as Elvira. Even Mas Gema dared to help me, by fighting Elvira.”
“But..”.
“Honest. I'm more afraid of dealing with you guys. What Elvira did was enough to scare me, Mas.”
“Still, Ra. Thanks for knowing that I'm different from Elvira.”
“You need not be afraid. You said that I was different from him, right?”
“Yesterday when you told me he was threatening you. Honestly, I'm worried. I know he's crazy about Mas Raksa.”
Whats? I need an explanation of the last sentence.
“Their relationship, only two years. That's it, I know, Elvira's driving it all. From social media accounts, Elvira is always post about them. Up in real life, Brother Elvira who fought.”
“I know, at that time Kak Elvira's boyfriend was saturated. They finally broke up. But after a few years, Brother Elvira is still fighting on her own.”
Elvira's struggle was enough to leave me stunned.
“So, Mas Gema have known Mas Raksa former Elvira since we first met?”
If yes. Then he's just been playing me this whole time? But why is he so good and always supporting me?
“Neg. I don't know at all, Ra.”
“Photo posted by Kak Elvira is always a silhouette. Sister Elvira once said that her boyfriend always refused to be photographed.”
“And again, the name he called was always Agler, not Raksa.”
I exhale in relief. Fortunately, it was not in accordance with my expectations.
“I'm so sorry, Ra.”
“Mas stories all, so you can tell Mas if he's messing around again.”
“Mas worry about you.”
