A middle-aged man walked up to them, from the look on his face implied dislike of seeing the young men.
"Where is your respect? children today really do not have manners" hardiknya.
"Hey old man! don't be smart in front of us. If you want a lecture go to the mosque" said one of them who was then joined by a sneer by another.
"Don't you learn ethics in school? is this how you talk to your parents?"
"Allah.. a lot of talk! let's be beautiful, we go to a quieter place"
"Hey!" the man shouted as one of the young man's hands stroked Rere's chin.
"Basar old bangka!" erang.
Buk Buk Buk Buk
Aaaaaahhh.....
Punch after punch floated from the fists of the young men, for men whose age was no longer young was certainly a difficult thing against many people.
He could only fend off as much as he could and hit even though not many were hit.
"Stop." cried Rere could not bear to see the man begin to collapse.
With the capital of the bag in hand he tried to help as much as he could.
Aaaaa.....
Brucks
Their strength was unbalanced, with just one push Rere had already fallen without being able to get up quickly.
Tiiiiinnuuuuu tiiiiiiiinnnnnnnuuuu.....
Suddenly the sound of sirens made them silent, the more heard the sound was getting louder which made the guts of the young man squeak. With a panting fist they run away leaving the man they ran out of and Rere who can not get up.
Rere himself was quite surprised to hear the sound, he was looking for where his police car was but what he saw was Jimy hiding behind a large pot. The sirens they heard turned out to be Jimy's, somehow he could mimic the sirens with his voice.
"Sir, are you okay?" ask Rere to help the man get up.
Once it was enough that Jimy came out of hiding and helped them, Jimy took the man to a nearby clinic for first aid.
"Thank you, even though my intention was only to rebuke them so as not to disturb you but what happened was even unexpected" said the man after receiving treatment.
"I should be the one to thank you, you helped me. I don't know what happens if the father doesn't come at that time" Rere replied.
"Preferably careful, today's children are like that" said Jimy.
They chatted for a while before finally parting ways, Jimy himself now walked with Rere.
"Thank you" said Rere.
"What?" ask Jimy who was daydreaming.
"I know you made that siren" Rere replied, which made Jimy bow in shame.
"I don't do much, honestly I can't fight if it's not with my two friends. When I saw the incident it felt like I wanted to hit them, but I knew in the end I would also run out in the crack" he admitted.
"I think what you're doing is better than the hero in the romance story, you're using your brain instead of your muscle and it's cooler" Rere said, which makes Jimy even more embarrassed.
Now he has one card, with this card Jimy began to change his way to approach Rere. He was more open and it was quite successful, Rere was now always talking about Jimy to Ratna.
"Ah... a sweet love story to your liking" commented Ratna.
"What do you mean? we were just friends" Rere said with a blushing face.
"It all started with a friend, you know he likes you"
"Although the relationship between us is still a friend, as long as he has not expressed his love for me then until then this relationship is established between us"
"Then you want him to express what he feels like? do you want flowers, chocolates or balloons?"
"I won't answer him, let him think for himself" replied Rere who realized that Jimy would take advantage of Ratna.
"All right, I understand" said Ratna.
What Rere won was right, every day Jimy always asked about Rere even though he had his mobile number. Secretly they always talk together and go together just to discuss the development of his relationship with Rere.
That unknowingly makes Ardi and Amus suspicious, especially Jimy so often visit Ratna in the store until home together.
"Do you think they're hiding something from us?" ask Ardi.
"Seeing from his gait it seems so" replied Amus.
"What do you think they're hiding?"
"I don't know either" admits Amus.
The closeness between Ratna and Jimy that was suddenly not as usual was more suspicious for Amus, of course because he had just been close to Ratna and had intended to express his feelings.
Secretly that night Amus spies on Ratna's house, accidentally hiding in the dark as Jimy drives her home.
"Thank you for today" Ratna said as she reached her doorstep.
"Mm, go in and rest. You must be tired because you've been working all day"
"You too, don't get sick"
"I'm even more worried if you're sick" Jimy replied.
"Hehehe don't talk nonsense, it's gone" Ratna said, encouraging Jimy.
The treatment made Jimy get anxious and rubbed Ratna's head gently, after smiling at each other for a while Jimy left the place.
"What the fuck are they? why. they are like dating people" muttered Amus after Ratna also entered his house.
Amus had never seen such a Jimy in his lifetime, let alone his treatment of Ratna was so unnatural that Jimy suddenly became a more mature and gentle person, it made Amus' heart shrink because his hope to get Ratna suddenly disappeared.
Amus becomes often daydreaming and unable to focus on the textbooks on his desk, he still thinks about Jimy and Ratna's strange attitude.
"Amus! I have news for you!" said Ardi who suddenly entered the room.
"What's wrong?"
"You'd be surprised to hear that"
"What news do you have?"
"It's about Ratna and the master" replied Ardi who made Amus interested.
He hears Jimy talking to the store owner, which makes him surprised is Jimy says that the doll he will give to the girl who is very meaningful to him. Afterwards he also sees Jimy going to the tavern where Ratna works.
"Do you think they're secretly connected behind our backs?" ask Ardi.
"It's hard to believe, they fight a lot and obviously Jimy doesn't like girls like Ratna. But... seeing them like this makes me think differently" replied Amus who remembered when he stole the listen.
"You're right" answered Ardi.
Busy with each other's thoughts suddenly Ratna's voice resuscitated them, from behind the window they peeked at Jimy who again drove Ratna home.
Curious now they went to the front door only to eavesdrop on what Ratna and Jimy were talking about, from the door slit they could also see Ratna's smile not fading.
"You drove me home once again, every day meeting you was boring" Ratna said with a sullen look.
"But I never get bored" Jimy said, which made Ratna stop her steps.
"Ah I have something for you, I almost forgot" said Jimy who then offered a teddy bear.
From behind the door Ardi elbowed Amus as a sign that it was the doll he had seen in the shop this afternoon.
"It's so sweet... uh funny! thank you" said Ratna stroking the doll.
Jimy seemed satisfied to see Ratna's happy expression, he only smiled in return from Ratna's thanks. As Ratna's day grew late, Jimy nodded in response but suddenly.
"Rabra!" call Jimy who made Ratna turn back.
From Jimy's seriously changed expression he knew there was something important he was going to say.
"I love you" said Jimy suddenly who made Ardi and Amus almost fall and get caught.
"I'm not handsome, not popular, not smart. Sometimes I act silly but my friends always rely on me, all I can be proud of right now is a genuine and honest feeling of love" he continued.
Ratna was stunned, she did not expect Jimy to be able to say such a thing seriously. Seeing Jimy's seriousness in expressing his feelings he knew what answer to say.
"It's okay, I prefer honest men."
At one time there were two hearts that were broken simultaneously, while one heart blossomed to fragrant bloom.
"You... want to be my lover?" ask Jimy slowly.
Ratna nodded steadily, making Jimy moved and immediately hugged him tightly.
"Thank you, you made me feel warmer" Jimy whispered right in Ratna's ear.
"You'll make it, just do it like that" Ratna replied.
After being satisfied to pour out the heart of Jimy said goodbye and went home happy, as well as Ratna who entered the house with the same feeling. There were only two young men sitting behind the door in shock.
* * *
A bunch of flowers in Jimy's endless hands noticed and he smelled his fragrance, already thirty minutes he was there waiting in hope and dismay. In moments of disappointment began to peak the sound of a girl's shoes made her raise her head and stare at the one in waiting finally arrived.
"Sorry, you must have waited a long time" Rere said.
"No, I just waited about thirty minutes"
"Hmm. You're getting more honest" Rere said with a smile, it would make Jimy embarrassed.
"This is for you" Jimy said, handing over the flower bucket he had prepared.
"Thank you" Rere replied taking the flower bucket.
The awkwardness was more pronounced when Rere sat right in front of him, they did not talk much just throw a smile at each other until the food they ordered was finished. The little chat ended shortly after, Jimy drove Rere home by memorizing the sentence he had prepared in the first place.
"We've arrived" Jimy said, parked his car right in front of Rere's house.
"Thank you, then I'm leaving"
"Wait!" sergeant Jimy stops Rere from opening the car door.
"Yes?" ask Rere slowly.
For a moment Jimy was silent, seeing Rere's face suddenly all the sentences in his mind disappeared instantly.
"Jimy... What's wrong?" ask Rere.
"I don't know." replied Jimy quietly which confused Rere.
"I've memorized it in my brain, I've also tried it with Ratna but when I wanted to say it all of a sudden it was gone. As Jamrud said, it looks like I need a course to string words together so that I don't waste thirty minutes of your time" he continued.
Huft hahahaha
Rere couldn't help but laugh, leaving Jimy speechless in embarrassment.
"You can sum it up into three words" Rere said after laughing.
Jimy smiled, he was grateful Rere was very understanding and quick to respond so as to make it not difficult.
"I love you" Jimy said.
They looked at each other, anxiously awaiting Jimy's reply from Rere.
"I love you too" Rere replied at last.
An immeasurable sense of happiness unites them in one friendly embrace, neither Rere nor Jimy can resist the feeling of mutual affection. It was like they were staying together, but it was getting night and Rere had to get inside his house.
It's okay, they promised to meet tomorrow to start the first date as a couple. This happy news Jimy brought immediately to Ratna who is still working, he said his success in expressing feelings until finally accepted by Rere.
Ratna was also happy to hear the good news, as a thank you for the help of Ratna Jimy to give a gift in the form of a treaty that makes Ratna even happier.
On the other hand the two heartbroken Amus and Ardi are still gathered in the room lamenting what happened to their love story, both of them did not expect that Ratna and Jimy could fall in love.
"Argh after they go home anyway we have to hold them accountable, they have to explain all this to us" Ardi said.
"What needs to be explained? haven't we heard what happened to them?" reply Amus asked.
"Remain, they've been hiding this from both of us"
"That's their right, I'm sure they have a reason to hide this from us"
"You.... Why are you defending them?" hardik Ardi was upset.
"Then what should I do? do you want to break their hearts by making them separate? doesn't that friend support what his friend dreams are? as a friend, no! as a brother we should support them!" reply Amus with a higher tone.
Ardi realized, heart problems no one knows. In any love story can happen even though for him there is an impossible thing, honestly he feels jealous because it turns out Jimy who managed to get Ratna's heart.
But as a friend according to Amus' words he should support their relationship, again Ardi felt bad because he always opposed Ratna while Amus was so understanding to him.
