Erwin pov

the flashback

"Mahrandong!"

I didn't make the calls my new friends made to me. I just smiled nodding in response while continuing to put the book in the bag.

"Ouch!"

I turned to look for a voice. I saw Reska, Dika and Tio, friends who had greeted me, grimacing while rubbing each other's heads.

"It hurts, Ri!" dika protest.

Riri took a leisurely step and sat down next to me.

"You know, once again I'm listening to you call people like that, I guarantee you three will understand how it feels to be sick if you get circumcised again." threatened Riri on the three little guys in our class. Spontaneously the three friends closed their 'rudals' respectively. I choked amusedly holding back the laughter of seeing him.

"You're cruel, Ri!" sulk Reska.

"Hoo'oh! Small but sadistic!" connect Tio diacurin Reska and Dika.

I saw Riri glaring pretending not to hear their words.

"Win, next time if they still call you like that, love bogem just let it be deterred." Riri said without looking at me.

I'm just smiling. Riri looked at me.

"Lo if you say it's just a smile. You're not angry, are you called that? I've been horrified by it." Riri scolded me. I saw Reska, Dika, and Tio giggling amusedly.

"Riri turned out to be fair yes, not only we were scolded by him but Erwin as well. Erwin is our victim" Tio said with a laugh. Two of his friends nodded amusedly.

"Diem lo! Want me to circumcise now?!" snapped Riri, fierce. The trio of jellyfish was instantly shriveled.

"Brothers are girls. Must have been the birth of the townloud so judes kayak netizen." murmured Reska slowly.

"What did you say?!" riri garang spray.

"Swab bro!!!" suddenly the three tengil ran out of class.

Erwin ngakak's.

Since choosing to enter SMU I met and befriended the tomboy girl. His indifferent attitude and slippery ceplos made me who was previously anti-friends with girls so changed. Now I'm not awkward anymore if I have to deal with girl friends even though it's not as familiar as I am with Riri.

I saw Riri snickering whispering with Dela, her best friend, pointing out the window. Riri's position sitting near the window allowed her to look out of class. Not long, though,

"Ferdinand!"

I heard Riri calling someone. I don't know what they're talking about I don't know for sure, and I don't want to know even though I finally know when I see a guy pretty handsome, tall, and white, but not ferdinand, but not ferdinand, approaching Riri and looking right Riri blushed in embarrassment when the guy gave her a book.

'It looks like the tomboy is in love again' I said in my heart.

Since that day Riri who usually looks tomboyish and cute slowly began to be somewhat feminine even though his fierce nature sometimes appears if there is something he does not like to happen in front of him.

Like this afternoon, though,

"Hi gerandong! How come we didn't come here?"

The trio of jellyfish greeted me who was sitting alone waiting for other friends who that afternoon would participate in computer excursions at school.

"Ouch!"

I haven't been able to answer Tio's question, I saw Tio grimacing as a sandal dropped by her seat.

"Not deterred, either!"

I saw Riri ruffled waist staring at the jellyfish trio who were immediately bowed ciut.

"We're just kidding, Ri. There is no other meaning." muttered Dika quietly.

"You're a polite joke. Try if his father Erwin Denger you call his son like that, how does he feel? Do you think it's easy to give a child's name? Think it's heavy." spray Riri.

The trio of jellyfish fell silent.

"Sorry!" said the three compactly.

"I'm sorry don't go to me, to Erwin noh!"

"I'm sorry, Win. We no longer call you like that." said the trio of sincere jellyfish.

"Yes. No pa-pa!" my answer.

Riri smiled with satisfaction.

"Good boy!" he said while patting my shoulder.

"Why the hell, Ri, you think you're paying attention to Erwin? You have a crush, huh?" ask Reska suddenly.

I saw Riri flabbergasted in shock. His cheeks were red.

"What the hell?!"

Riri looks clumsy.

"Ciee.. mak attached a crush gerandong, here!" Dika seduces Riri.

The three of them scattered and hurriedly fled when Riri threw his own back at them.

I laughed, awkwardly.

"Rome, Ri. Don't take it for granted, they're just kidding me." I pacified Riri who looked really upset.

"Awas if dapet, I make peyek them." threatened Riri.

I smile.

"Well in, Mr. Dani has come." ask me.

Riri smiled and followed me into the computer room.

flashback off

It's been a year. Since then I have become more familiar with Riri. She's my only girl friend. Only with her was I free to joke with a woman I had never done before with any girl. I don't know why I feel so close to Riri. I dare not conclude that I have fallen in love with the little girl. Especially after I found out that he's been close to our upperclassman for the past two months. That's why I don't want to expect more from our friendship.

Until one day, I saw Riri bowed languidly in his lap.

"What's up, Ri? Not as excited as it is?" I was confused to see Riri's attitude.

"Win, do girls like I don't pantes like someone?" Riri asked back in a lethargic tone.

"Who said?"

I saw Riri sighing heavily.

"Gue is so ugly, that Andre seems so disgusted with me."

I unconsciously stroked Riri's short hair. I know Andre's attitude towards Riri is unfair. In front of Riri Andre was acting very arrogant. He rarely even wanted to talk to Riri for long. It seems that Andre does not like Riri. But, there are times when Andre looks to give hope to Riri so that the tomboy feels unable to escape the shadow of Andre who thinks is very good and so sweet. 'It's sugar, sweet!'

" Ri, it's about the heart. Think carefully to see the bright spot of your problem now. Only you know the answer."

Riri put her head on my shoulder.

"Gue's tired, Win. I decided to stay away from Andre."

I nodded in agreement.

Helmi entered the classroom in a hurry.

"Our first hour is empty. Teacher's meeting until the second hour" he told Riri and Erwin.

"Continue?"

Helmi stared at her two friends.

"Will you wait until the third hour?"

"Emang lo bosen?" ask Riri.

"That's it! Two hours just gawking in the classroom nothing, very boring." said Helmi.

"Why not go out, huh!" Riri pointed at Dela who was sitting in front of Helmi's desk.

Erwin looked at Helmi astonished to see her lethargic looking at Dela.

"Lo why Mi?" ask Erwin. Riri looked at Helmi.

" Dela's angry with me again."

"Now!"

Helmi shows a pink t-shirt that says 'lo'. Erwin and Riri looked at each other, A second later,

"Haha...!"

Both of them laughed. Helmi scowled wryly at the laughter of her two best friends.

"Not funny!" sewot.

Erwin and Riri are getting worse.

"Ri! We're going to your house, yuk?!" take Dela from her seat. Riri turned towards Helmi and Erwin.

"Corn!" Riri nodded in agreement, then whispered something to Erwin who immediately nodded in understanding.

"Lo both come out first. Wait for us to get locked up behind the school, huh?" riri said to Erwin. Helmi who does not understand Riri's intentions can only resign when Erwin forced her.

Before long, Riri and Dela caught up with them. When passing grade 12 IPA 1,

"Relie!"

A call halts Riri and Dela's steps. Both are silent, shocked. Cold sweat began to wet their forehead.

"Campus us, Del!" riri muttered, slowly.

Dela just fell silent, scared. Riri and Dela slowly turned towards the source of the voice. And,

"Where are you going, Ri?" it was Andre who called. Riri took a breath, annoyed.

"It's none of your business!" sahutya.

Andre gasped, not expecting Riri to be that cute to him.

"I'm just her, Ri." Andre tried to be relaxed. Riri pulled Dela's hand to quickly pass from it, but Andre quickly clasped her hand.

"I'll talk..."

"Nothing to talk about anymore."

Riri quickly left the place while pulling Dela, without understanding Andre's call.

With a sigh of excitement Riri and Dela approached Erwin who was waiting to be dikantin.

"Erwin's coming with us too, Ri?" ask Dela when she sees Erwin. Riri nodded.

"And Helmi too!" riri said while pointing at Helmi who was sitting in the corner of the canteen.

Dela was amazed to see Helmi wearing a soulmate shirt that had made Dela sulk because Helmi did not want to wear the shirt. Riri hurriedly pulled Dela's hand and invited her away.

"Chat it later. Ntar caught by the security guard if we're here" he said.

Dela, Helmi, and Erwin follow Riri on foot to her house because it is not too far from their school.

"Say I don't want to wear it? How is it being made?" the word Dela pretended was still sulking.

"Don't want to wear it, you've bought it pink, anyway." replied Helmi while reaching for Dela's hand which was in conjunction with Riri.

"M..." Dela dress spoiled in Helmi's arms.

"It's not bad anymore, is it?" riri Goda.

"Iddiih..who's craving? Ain't there, beb?" denounce Helmi's possessed Dela.

"Akurrrs! "

Riri and Erwin chuckled.along the way to Riri's house the four of them joked.

"Lo's house is very quiet, Ri. Where are you?" ask Dela.

Riri went into the house followed by her three friends.

"Regular.ngintilin bokap me." replied Riri.

Dela nodded. Riri's mother was often with her father Riri when the service was out of town. Dela and Helmi sat on the carpet in the tv room. Erwin sat in a relaxed seat. Riri took out a mango that was in the refrigerator.

"Please peel in, Win." pinta Riri.

Erwin took the knife in Riri's hand and peeled off the fruit. Riri prepared a plate. Erwin cut the mango and put it on his plate.

"Pare it yourself!" Erwin patted hard Helmi's hand that was about to pluck the mango that Erwin peeled. Erwin pushed the unpeeled mango pack on Helmi.

"Basic stingy!" keki's curse.

Erwin cuek's.

"Love needs sacrifice, bro. Cook the mango for Dela aja you do not want, where is your sacrifice?" erwin Molok.

He took a piece of mango with a fork and then fed it to Riri.

"What you did for Riri, huh?" Helmi blinked her eyes at Erwin.

Uhukk!Uhukk!

Riri choked on hearing Helmi's words. With friendly Erwin cleans Riri's mouth with tissue to make Riri's heart beat fast.

"Not to kepo. Look noh Dela has been drooling about eating young mangoes." said Erwin.

"Damn. Lo kira Dela cravings." Helmi throws a chair cushion at Erwin who is laughing crazily.

Helmi then gave the mango he had peeled to Dela. He then lay on Dela's lap and Dela fed him the mango gullet.

Secretly Riri glanced at Erwin who was sitting on the chair that Riri was sitting in.

'Why am I so groggy, huh?' riri murmured in the heart.

Riri turned to Dela who turned out to be busy kissing*an with Helmi without caring that there were other people in the room besides the two of them.

"Mamp*s!"

Riri cursed inwardly when he realized that Erwin also saw the actions of Dela and Helmi.

Riri was about to get out of the chair when Erwin held her back.

"Where are you going?" tanyanya slow.

"Fried noodle cooking." replied Riri also slowly, then passed towards the kitchen.

Erwin followed him. Riri becomes clumsy to face Erwin after Erwin's attitude to him. Somehow Riri felt that Erwin was acting like never before.

"Kok hasn't cooked the minya yet, Ri? The water was boiling" said Erwin, rousing Riri from his daydream.

"Eh.aaa..."

Riri was nervous. With trembling hands he stuffed three packs of instant noodles into a pot filled with boiling water.

"Ouch!"

As Riri clumsily and less carefully put the noodles into the pot, hot water splashed her hands. Erwin swiftly pulled Riri's hand and blew it slowly. Riri looked at Erwin with an uncertain feeling. Erwin then took over the task of cooking the noodles. After the noodles were ready in the bowl, Erwin approached Riri and grabbed his hand. He saw Riri's hand flushed.

"Where's the medicine box, Ri?" ask Erwin.

Riri pointed to the refrigerator. Erwin picked it up and took out an anti-burn ointment then gently rubbed it against Riri's hand while slowly blowing it away. Riri's heart is getting worse. Erwin prepared dishes and rice on the dining table.

"Del, Mi! Come eat." take Erwin to Dela and Helmi.

Erwin filled Riri's plate with rice and fried noodles that he had cooked and then fed Riri who was clumsy because Dela and Helmi kept watching them while smiling.

"Will there be a new partner, beb!" helmi Syndicates.

Erwin cuek he stays and casually serves Riri.

"It's a boy! Don't know if I almost had a heart attack because of this treatment?"

Riri stroked the chest, holding back the pounding in her heart that was getting stronger.

"It's definitely hotter than us huh, beb."

Dela follow tease. His laughter broke seeing Riri who was usually indifferent this time bulging sprain at him.

"Yes, beb. Understandably, just feel the beauty of falling in love." added Helmi increasingly hot tease Erwin and Riri.
