11. About Me and Dafa

Now I was in a white room that was quite large, around it neatly organized large shelves containing various drugs, behind one of the shelves, on the back of one of the shelves, sat some pharmacists whose job was to concoct medicine.

While waiting for some patients to give a list of prescription drugs, I took my salary that had rang a lot earlier. Somehow so, when as I remember, I am not too active surfing in cyberspace such as Facebook and WhatsApp.

I saw my gait notif, there are many WhatsApp symbols, which means many messages that go into my WhatsApp messages. A little confused as well actually, because I never joined any group in my WA app. Even to send messages to each other with someone I am very rare.

I opened the application with the symbol of the phone handle with the combination of green and white. There is a group called "Alumni SMA Negeri 57". Apparently I was added as a member of the alumni group of the school that used to be my school.

Soon I open a group that has 250 notifications. Curious about the message. I read all the messages from the beginning I came in.

[That's who just added Dafa?] Ask someone with a contact that says Riaaaaa's name.

I know who he was, one of my best friends from High School. A tomboy who does not want to fall in love, because for him the man can only scratch wounds on women.

[Ah that's Riri, Dafa worship while still in High School]

[Well, I think old love will spring back]

[Haha, Iyah, especially that Riri is already a widow right, that beautiful widow again, surely Dafa is getting excited about it]

All the babbling of my friends is regarded as entertainment only. Because between me and Dafa there is no special relationship, we are just close friends who encourage each other in terms of academics. Until that friendship began to feel tenuous when Dafa fell in love with a woman, our younger classmate and beautiful.

At that time we were in Second-class High School. For the first time I saw Dafa was so serious in his relationship. There was jealousy in my heart. He started to keep his distance from me.

Seeing me and Dafa as if already far away from each other, suddenly made a big question mark image painted in all the minds of our friends at that time. They were wondering about our friendship. I, who did not know, answered soberly.

[Maybe Dafa is no longer in the mood to play with me] I replied to friends.

The more Dafa gets further away from me. I wondered what made Dafa that way, so I ventured to ask him. It was after Novi's mother's lesson was over that I approached Dafa who was arranging all his belongings. Classes started to quiet because it had entered the break.

"Dada, how come lately it's been like staying away from Riri anyway?" I asked Dafa who wouldn't look me in the face.

Dafa and I used to say each other's names in speaking. There's no word loe and I in our friendship. Mutual mention of names is one of the distribution of love to friends. That was our perception at the time.

Dafa was silent. The movement is accelerating. Like fear of being caught by someone if it lingers with me.

"Dada, dong replied. Riri got it wrong huh?" My heart is spoiled as always.

"Sorry Rianti, from now on don't call me Dada anymore, call me Dafa!" Answer with convincing intonation.

The answer made me momentarily stunned, not knowing what to answer. Dafa has really changed. I know, this must be because of Tania, the woman she's dating now. Reportedly Tania was the jealous and possessive type. That's the information Dafa gave them in the beginning.

"Is this because of Tania Da?" I sat down with a disappointed look.

How could he prefer someone he's only known for a few months to me who's been with him for years.

"Well, Dafa, I don't expect anything either, we're just ordinary friends anyway" I replied as I passed away.

Since then, Dafa and I have no longer been friends. Dafa is getting busy hanging out with Tania's friends. And forget our friends gathering him.

I went through every day without indulging in Dafa. There's a sense of loss, but I'm gonna cut myself off soon. Why think of Dafa that never thought of my feelings.

To be honest that liking has grown ever since this friendship in noble. However, that feeling I threw away when I found out Dafa never had more feelings than being friendly to me.

It has been two months since Dafa has been hanging out with us. In our gang are Ria, Rian, Vika, Dinda, Alit, Icha and me. We spent our time as usual, hanging out in front of the school library joking around.

I saw Dafa walking quickly towards us. With a sparkling face like the thing he did before meeting Tania.

"Hay all, have you eaten yet? I'm hungry to eat!" He sat right next to me.

"What sambet'an loe Daf suddenly hit us gini?" Rian replied with a cynical smile.

"Alah, the most also in the jutekin Tania, hahaha," said Ria no less cynical.

"I miss Riri tau, so come here" he said, winking one eye at me.

Seeing that, my feelings were sick of it. I don't like being close to him anymore. Disappointment has already grown and rooted in my heart.

"Haha, kasian deh loe Daf, Riri now has an oi, noh the handsome Galih Kak, now they are dating," Dinda's chatty feline, making Dafa look at me instantly.

"Really Ri?" He asked while looking at my face.

"Dafa Dad, I dated Galih a week ago" I replied casually.

Dafa remained silent. Her net still continued to look at me like disbelief. I moved away from him. That view still follows me. He suddenly stood up and asked us to meet Tania.

***

[What'an the hell loe on, not ABG anymore bully each other gini, haha] reply Dafa to friends.

I could only carve out a smile looking at every chat from my classmates.

"She's the recipe" said a young man.

The man's greeting surprised me. I'll get the recipe soon. And began to take one by one the drugs listed in the paper. After everything is ready, I give the drug to a man who is now taking his pregnant wife slowly.

One by one, people started waiting in line to give prescription papers to me and Susan. Susan and I painstakingly provided every drug listed there.
