"Lo's basketball game isn't tin cans, Rails." praised Kadir, Karrel's classmate and basketball teammate.
Karrel just smiled thinly. He and his five teammates walked down the school corridor. They had just finished playing basketball with another schoolboy. And they came home with a trophy.
When passing through the corridor that there is a school mading there. The cave stopped making Karrel come to a stop.
"Why Gal?" ask Kadir.
"Liat noah! That's not Lo Rel's face? How are they displayed in Mading? Where is the same Dilan again," said Galih pointing to the mading.
And sure enough there's a picture of Karrel with Dilan over there. But why are they like...mesra-mesraan?
And not only that. Not one photo but several. Plus there are photos of three other guys with almost similar portraits. His portrait looked close to Dilan as well.
Carrel's forehead flinched. Why is there a picture of Iyan too? Even Gavian? And Mike??
But that's not what seized Karrel's attention. But the picture of Raden wearing a wedding dress with two different women. Karrel knew Raden was Dilan's father. But what are the words written on these pictures?
'The fruit does not fall far from the tree. The behavior of the child is like his father!'
"What does this mean?" Karrel.
His friends just looked at each other and gave shoulder to shoulder, they were just as confused.
Karrel clenched his hand. Jaw hardens. Without heeding the cry of his friend he stepped away.
His first goal was the XI class of IPS 2, the Dilan class.
Luckily the teacher is in a meeting right now. Karrel immediately entered looking for the whereabouts of the girl.
"From Dilan?" exclaiming Miara saw Karrel wailing but did not find the figure he was looking for.
"Where's it?" Karrel to the point.
"No idea" replied Miara limply putting her cheek on the table.
"Fuckin' answer," Karrel growled.
Miara kicked down the table and stood closer to Karrel, staring at the young man who was still wrapped in a basketball uniform.
"LO NANTANGIN ME?! WHY ELO NYARI-NYARI DILAN? ISN'T ELO DISTANCING HIM WITHOUT HIS EXPLANATION YESTERDAY? NOW SOK IYESS REALLY LO!" amuk Miara's.
Karrel pressed his inner cheek with his tongue, restraining emotions.
"Gue just wanted to ask. Where's dilan?" said Karrel with a flat face.
Miara chuckles cynically. "Gue doesn't know. And why do you care about him?? Keep me away!" said Miara with great emphasis.
"It's none of Lo's business! Again I asked, Where is Dilan?" reply Karrel.
Bobby who just came from the cafeteria with Theo and Aruk gasped as Miara and Karrel faced each other with drawn gazes at each other.
"What's up?" Bobby's approaching.
Miara threw a face not answering. Even with Karrel who turned around to get out, but was scuttered by Theo.
"Lo must have seen the news about Dilan. Did you find him here?" guess Theo.
Karrel nodded. Theo sighed. "Do you know who took that photo?"
Karrel. "Gue just saw it too. He means what photos are not clear that,"
"Make Dilan drop for sure," Karrel and the others compactly turned to the origin of the sound.
Iyan with her appearance who was not wearing glasses minus again approached them.
"I mean Lo??" aruk Sambar.
"I mean, there are people who deliberately want Dilan to fall, want Dilan destroyed. And he succeeded in doing that," said Iyan.
"Damn it!" theo's Oath.
"F!!" Bobby and Karrel together.
"The real lo! Dilan's time is not se-menye that there are enemies?" Aruk.
Miara nodded in agreement.
"Gue know because I often see someone who diem ngutin dede'- I mean Dilan. And a few times I saw him taking pictures of Dilan fit the same guy, except Bara." explained Iyan.
"So?? Do you know where Dilan is now?" ask Karrel ketus.
Iyan gave a lip and then shook his head. "No."
Karrel reflex swearing. "She!!"
"Guys, I want to say something important. You don't have to worry about Dilan. I'm sure he'll be all right. Now the most important thing is how we clean the name of Dilan that has been tarnished." said Iyan seriously.
"Bulshit!" as if Karrel then sternly left the class.
"Karrel!" call Bobby.
"Gue susulin first," said Miara inviting a question mark on Bobby's face.
"Well??" asked Bobby in blind jealousy.
"There's something I want to talk about as well as one,"
Miara stepped up a little run after Karrel who was already in the parking lot. He had been sitting in his motorcycle seat preparing to leave school because he knew Dilan must have run away.
"Belp!!" Pekik Miara approached Karrel.
Karrel who stopped his motorbike because he was bickering a little with the gate guard so turned his head. He melengos no matter Miara is already beside his motorbike with breath up and down.
"Gue wants to talk," Miara said directly to the point.
Karrel just kept silent waiting for the flabby girl to continue her words.
"So farin Dilan if you want to stay away from him," said Miara seriously. Karrel glanced at a glance then snorted. "Gue seriously,"
"Lo doesn't know anything. So, don't interfere in my business. Want me away from Dilan kek, deletin her cake is not elo business!" tukas Karrel sharp.
"Gue didn't ask Lo to come back with my memories. Because of cowardice like Lo, there are no pantes around Dilan. I just want to ask Lo do not make Dilan confused, a jerk like Lo make my best friend cry and elo think I'm not angry see Lo arbitrarily with him? And today again Dilan cried because of something that has something to do with elo!" sulk Miara. The glint of anger was clearly evident in his chocolate hazel.
Karrel was stunned to feel stupefied by Miara's words. But he quickly changed his face.
"Not to talk. What the hell are you talking about??"
"The reason Lo far awayin Dilan, bullshit!!" Miara chuckles cynically. "Gue just found out there's a guy in the world, elo,"
Karrel closed his eyes. Teeth chugging. "I mean Lo?!"
"Elo just hurt yourself like that."
"Not to beat around the bush!!" Karrel rarely cursed at women but Miara really ignited his emotions with talk that kept swirling from earlier.
"Lo wants to go find Dilan, right?? Before that I want to give Lo something," Miara reached into something from her skirt pocket. He took out a rectangular flat object. Cell phones. Yeah it's a phone with silicone Chairil Anwar's face image on the back.
Karrel was stunned with eyes glaring in disbelief. That phone??
"This is Mike's. My brother,"
And Karrel widened his eyes to hear the girl's confession.
"I mean Lo?
"Like the one Lo's horrified, I'm Mike's brother. Leonel Mike Areksa is my brother." I'm Miara.
"Don't say Lo! Mike's an only child!" carrel sarcasm. How come? The Mike he's known for years is an only child and this girl says she's Mike's sister?
Miara sighed heavily. "Gue knows Lo must be in shock, because Lo knows Mike's brother is an only child. So when I was a kid, I got divorced. And I'm the same Mike split, I'm coming along while Mike is bokap. I married a Muslim and I converted after that. I automatically convert to Islam, while Mike lives together with me who is Christian," Miara closed her eyes briefly and then continued the story.
Karrel silently listened. The motor has also been turned off.
"Gue knew from Dilan's story that he was often found with Mike and became his rival every time there was a poetry competition. I'm the same Mike also often met secretly for fear of the same bokap who do not like if Mike met again with me. Mike often told me about elo, the best friend he ever had, Mike also told Dilan and there I know if it turns out my brother likes Dilan. And you know what makes me upset to see Lo far away in Dilan yesterday??"
Karrel clenched his lips unable to speak. Throat's choked.
"Lo's reason that makes no sense muchin Dilan cuman because of Lo's promise to Mike. Promise you won't like the same girl. And if that happens, one of you will be defeated after knowing that you like the same girl" said Miara with emphasis.
"Gue knows you like Dilan. I'm not that selfish until it's not as sensitive as the way Lo treats Dilan so special,"
"Keep Lo what now with Lo talking gini to me?" karrel asked casually as if he didn't care.
Miara growled withstanding her frustration. "Gue didn't ask you to do anything. I just want to say, Dilan so lost when elo suddenly changed and away him for no reason. I want to reveal all this to Dilan, but I realize it's out of my right. That's the problem with all three of you,"
"I mean Lo? Do you support me Deketin Dilan?? You want hianatin brother elo?"
Miara. "Gue doesn't support or fall for anyone here. Mike is not there. And you don't have to feel guilty because Dilan was the girl Mike liked before he died. After all, he's also a coward for not daring to talk if he actually likes Dilan,"
Karrel chuckles. "Sama dong kayak cave? I'm a coward too,"
Miara shook her head again. "Lo's different! Lo loves Dilan in her own way. While Mike was obsessed with Dilan to the point that the night-," Miara's tongue suddenly felt unable to continue her words.
"Lo doesn't need that nerusin. I don't want to be horrified!" cut Karrel.
"After you look at Mike's contents, Lo will know what kind of person Lo is,"
Karrel stared at the cellphone that was now in his grasp.
"Gue hopes you can be better than Mike and Bara" said Miara disperse Karrel's daydream.
Carrel. "Bara?? Did Dilan break up with Bara? Didn't he go back to indo?"
Miara thinned her lips. "Gue said gini so in the future elo not like the two of them who hurt Dilan unconsciously. I prefer that Dilan be kept as elo. Because I'm sure Dilan must be happy with you, elo,"
"Gue has also hurt her," she still hears Miara.
Miara poked her lips and pressed Karrel's chest with her index finger several times. "Elo is aware of Dilan's illness, while Bara is not! That's why I support Elo as a player,"
Karrel sniffed to hear the word player pinned Miara for him. Either thank you or swear.
"Gue will never be a destroyer of people's relationships, especially Dilan. I'd rather be quiet and love Dilan in my own way than be a thorn that makes Dilan's leg hurt. I couldn't see he couldn't walk because I was a thorn in the flesh" Karrel said, staring at the street.
Miara silently smiled faintly. That's right what Mike said.
"Had Karrel fallen in love with Dilan Ra, I'm sure Dilan would have been very happy,"
"Why brother?"
"Because Karrel is sincere. Really use your heart if it is love. Same with me, I'm a jerk Ra. I did not pantes the same Dilan so I could just save the photos of Dilan in my room. Even so obsessed I'm with him, I can't sleep if I don't kiss his picture first,"
"Ihh, pedophile Lo kak!"
"Hehe, yes, I know. But I'm not gonna break the girl I like,"
"So you can't control your obsession? How's it?"
"If I were a parasite, I'd disappear or be eliminated,"
Miara wiped away her fallen tears remembering the moment with her sister.
_______
Karrel propels its motor at high speed. Street sweeping. With eyes did not stop looking around looking for the whereabouts of Dilan.
Red light he stopped. Then his head turned to the sky. He still wears his basketball shirt.
He sighed heavily at the sighting of the dark sky. Looks like it's going to rain. Then he recalled Dilan, how is the girl?
Carrel motor back on. He kept thinking where Dilan was. A moment later he remembered Dilan's words.
"Can this place do me no?" ask Dilan that night. The night when Karrel took Dilan to a small hill at that time.
Carrel frowning faintly. "Make what? If you make Lo date with Bara I can't,"
Dilan hit Karrel's arm in agitation. "It's not ege! I like this place. I think it's good to be a place to nenangin yourself if you're sad again,"
Karrel looked at the sky, resting his body with both hands behind. "Can,"
"For example, if I have a problem and you don't know where I am. You stay here and I come. I'm sure it's here,"
Carrel's pulling the gas faster. He stopped to buy an umbrella in a small shop.
Soon he pulled his bike over when he arrived at the small hill. A secret place that people rarely know. The young man walked in haste.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Dilan's small back. The girl hugged her own knee. His shoulders were shaking, a sign that he was crying.
Just when Karrel was about to step suddenly it rained down. Karrel cursed and walked while opening the yellow umbrella that had been purchased earlier.
But his chest felt tight when someone suddenly came and waded the girl so as not to rain.
Karrel jaws hardened. He clutched the handle of an umbrella full of emotion.
"What's the fuck in here?" Karrel could hear Dilan's voice asking the man wearing the basketball shirt. He squatted to align his face with Dilan.
The guy chuckles. His look looked sad. Karrel can see that the guy has a taste in the girl.
"Gue saw Lo running around indistinctly in the street like a madman. Mana while crying again," replied Gavian while wiping Dilan's tears with his thumb.
Yep. The young man who protected Dilan from the torrent of rain was Gavian.
Karrel threw his face and turned to leave Dilan with the man.
Without Dilan knowing there is a heart that is broken because of him. And without him knowing there is a warm heart also because of him.
Karrel threw away the umbrella he had just held originally. It seems he was destined to be a second main lead in Dilan's life.
Heh. Karrel took a breath out. Then he planted the gas as fast as he could. Wreaked the tightness on his chest. Under the rain, Karrel's tears spilled.
It turns out loving Dilan can be this painful.
Excuse me...
Because I can't avoid this
He came by himself
Without me knowing I love you,
Excuse me...
I've tried it many times
So that this feeling wants to go
But he kept coming back, though,
Please...
Don't you hate this taste
Just hate this self
So you don't need me here
Until I don't feel hurt.
Karrel Abrar Radeya's.
