Lately, the heat of the day has been stinging. That made Gesna reluctant to go anywhere. He picked his way home and lectured in the room with the lowest temperature suit.
He will only play basketball when the sun is no longer fierce, around four in the afternoon on the complex court. However, just practicing alone, no longer playing with Thunder. That guy's getting busy with his OSIS. Feels like being away. In fact, some times Gesna messages are only read without reply. How busy is Thunder?
Gesna sighed while clucking. Continuing the doodles that came out spontaneously from his hands. The black inked pen makes circles and firm lines. Make a picture of a person who is being pruned fine meshes.
That guy is him. Lovers who are stuck in the status of friends.
It's true said Zella, deciding to stop when not trying will make people become intelligent. What if they feel the same? What if Thunder loved him too?
He had not heard Thunder's reply when asked by Mamah. He who pretended to be asleep, only heard Thunder calm Mamah.
Gesna took a breath back. Naraya said, OSIS will create a major event that brings together several organizational events at once. Naraya alone still had time to reply to messages or play to the cafeteria. The time of Thunder as busy as the office?
He knows a lot OSIS will do. He knew that Naraya and the OSIS board were dispensated several times to find sponsors. Gesna also had time to see Guntur go with them and berbongcangan same girl who had come to them in the canteen.
"Joceline," murmured Gesna involuntarily.
Beautiful that girl. White, soft, sweet. Feminine once. The types of angels that often thunder and basecamp children say.
Gesna has often been warned to behave like a woman. Maybe they mean like Joceline, huh? She's with Joceline? Blah, it's different. The difference between the seventh heaven is the same as the earth. In other words: far away.
Is a girl only beautiful if white, sweet and soft? Gesna pulled next to the eyebrows. Why did he disagree with the conclusion just now, huh? If that's the definition of beautiful, Thai pansy is also more beautiful.
He then looked at the mirror that was taller than him. Self-numbing. The skin is brown, the effect is often on the field. His hair is short, because long hair will make sultry. Especially if you play basketball, a little long, the hair will interfere. From the whole thing she saw, sweet and gentle was clearly not there at all in her.
Gesna. Besides, maybe Thunder likes a weird girl like her. True said Thunder, he was often delirious.
The phone next to him shone. Incoming message notification visible. Adit hasn't given up. That guy every day always floods the notifications. The message is nothing important. Everything's junk.
Gesna pressed the Adit message column that had not been opened since morning.
Mr. A: Good morning, sun. Sorry, I said to the sun. Not to you, jan geer. 🤧
Mr. A: Uh. Not the same as the sun. Cepet panasan his son. 😪
Mr. A: Same Snow White ah, let always be cool. Can it be Snow?
Mr. A: Watch out for the rusty thumbs. Not dipake because of it. 🤭
Gesna. He wondered how Adit could send a message during lesson time. The times are very tight. The longest difference is only about 30-40 minutes. Although left unread and unrequited, Adit still sends super crisp messages.
This Adit learned what not, anyway? Or is the purpose of coming to school just for the challengers? Make a charm if he's the Chief.
Mr. A: Do you know why there are two?
Mr. A: I don't know..
Mr. A: Because.....
Mr. A: for one...
Mr. A: percentage.
Mr. A: Lake... What lake is not suitable for children?
Mr. A: ???
Mr. A: Lake Toba.
Mr. A: Make a child try.
Mr. A: If you want to smile, smile at the time you read it, no papa, don't be shy. Shame on the work of a handyman. Shy, maku, sawing.
Mr. A: But his smile is good for me. Okay, huh? Okay, dong.
Rice is left out! Gesna. Four days of refraining from retaliating against everything Adit made made Gesna impatient. He had already prepared several scenarios for Adit's road call.
If Adit invites to watch, he will invite to watch a thriller film that the story mutilates people. However, don't expect her to scream like other girls and hug the person next to her. Gesna used to watch any sadistic movie by eating potatoes or burgers.
If necessary, he will spill the drink into the shirt or pants of the guy. Then Gesna would also take Adit's wallet when the guy let his guard down and hide it. He can't wait to imagine how clumsy a guy is when he finds out he lost his wallet when he was about to pay his bills. Not to forget, the motorbike or the car will be beret or deflated.
Make memories. Gesna's smile was perfect.
The phone he was looking at was shaking. Call from Gandhi's nanny.
"Yes, Ma'am," said Gesna.
It's not unusual for Gandhi's nanny to call at this hour. The news about Gandhi will be reported every night, after Gandhi goes to sleep and that is only through messages.
A frightened voice entered Gesna's ears. Her heart stopped beating when Gandhi's nanny told her sister on IGD and mom was attending a fashion show abroad.
Without the ba-bi-bu, Gesna jumped out of bed. He quickly grabbed the keys, wallet and cell phone.
He has to go to Bandung, now!
Gesna summed up the shoelaces hurriedly, put on a hoodie and put on a helmet. He who did not have much free time immediately ran towards the scooter and was unaware of the arrival of a motorbike.
"Where are you going?" adit asked as soon as he saw Gesna hurriedly.
Gesna didn't rub it. His hand turned on the engine and rewinded the scooter.
"Where are you going, anyway? You want to run away?" The man who had gotten off the bike then blocked Gesna by standing in front of the scooter.
"Side." Gesna shook her hand and tried to turn the handlebars.
"You-where?" reset Adit while holding the handlebars of the Gesna scooter. The strong grip of Adit makes the handlebars can not be deflected Gesna.
Gesna, who had been panicking, became furious. A big hand gets in the way. "Shut up! I don't have much time! The edge!"
Adit refuses. "No. I promise you to."
Gesna swivel the gas until the sound of the engine rises, as if threatening that he does not hesitate to bully Adit right now if the guy is still in the way. "It's urgent, Dit! I broke his promise. Next time."
"I can't do that, dong. What the hell is sudden gini? I'm cool to be here."
Adit turned the key of the Gesna scooter and retracted it. Indeed, today Adit looks cooler. The man in the black shirt was wearing the same colored jacket. His pants are also black with a slightly slashed accent on the thigh. Three white striped black shoes that reinforce the masculine style. But that didn't make Gesna glance at it in the least.
Gesna raise the glass helmet. His eyes stared at the bitch. "Adit! I'm on IGD! I have to go to Bandung now. Understand lo?!"
Adit. His face was stricter than usual. The guy's researching, trying to find a lie.
"Reverse my key to the hunt! Hurry along! I don't have time!" Gesna pointed her palm in front of Adit. "Buruan!"
The guy noticed Gesna's look for a while before returning the key. "Lo's fucked up again, don't bring a vehicle. I'll take it with me."
Adit rushes to start his big motorbike and heads out of the house. Gesna, who was silent at this moment.
"the hunt! How bengong?! Want to go to Bandung, don't you?"
Gesna raises his head. She scooters it back to where it was and she jumps up to Adit's motorbike.
"Hand."
"Okay, you want mode."
Adit's motor starts to go fast. The wind felt strong. Gesna was unsteady and immediately gripped Adit's jacket. The body is winding, follow the motion of Adit motor who had tried to cut right and left, looking for the fastest gap to get to the destination.
Gesna no matter what route Adit chooses, turn where, which is important until Bandung as soon as possible. Even when Adit's motorbike drove through the country roads, he didn't have time for negative thoughts. His brain was completely dead-end at this moment.
Gandhi was sick? Since when? Why doesn't your mother know? Why get to the IGD? All these questions are coming from all directions.
Adit motor enters an SPBU. After filling up the gas, Adit stops and turns off the motor. The guy goes down and enters the miniswalayan. Gesna was still sitting dumbly in the motorcycle seat. His mind had already drifted all the way to Bandung.
Before long, Adit came out carrying two cups of warm drinks. The Chief called Gesna to join.
"Down first, Non. Straight leg stretch, can ya?" pinta Adit sitting on an empty bench in front of the miniswalayan. "Gesna," he called again. "Here..."
Gesna awakens from daydreams. His feet stepped down, sitting beside Adit. After removing the helmet, he received the proffered cup. It's a glass of cappuccino.
"We're gonna make coffee here, huh." Adit chuckles while he is still silent and sips a cappuccino.
When the sky turned dark, the afternoon became dusk. A reddish-colored golden sheen spread out and blushed. A snitch came. Gesna glanced at his elbow. "Think what? Adek lo, huh?"
Without answering, Gesna again sipped a warm drink from her paper cup. He just looked straight at the horizon that looked beautiful without speaking.
"Don't panic" Adit said, sipping a cup of coffee. "Panik will only make us act rashly. It will regret itself. Relax, there is me. I'll be looking for you."
If only the one who spoke was Thunder, perhaps he believed. But the one who spoke was Adit. The famous beast in school, the one he should have conquered. Of course, Gesna would not easily believe it.
"The sweet ones, they usually come for a while." Adit pointed at the glowing sky. "Sunset kayak, beautiful but only for a moment. So, it must be enjoyed. When else can you walk the same cool guy as me?"
The last sentence almost made Gesna spout back her cappuccino. If he thought Adit was sane, it wasn't. "Lo know what? People who are often narcissistic are included as people who have personality disorders?" hisses.
Adit. As if not expecting Gesna to make a sound.
"People who always need excessive praise, feel themselves important and feel great continue it is a personality disorder. Kayak lo gini," said Gesna while glancing at Adit.
The sky is completely dark. The lights are on. Silence ambushed them. Slowly, Gesna swallowed his drink again.
Adit grimaced and gulped his coffee again. "Yes, I know. I was just kidding. Let you laugh, not stiff like a wooden ruler."
"Times?" Gesna insisted on drinking. "It really is that?!"
Adit also finished his coffee and stood towards the trash cans not far near Gesna, throwing out the trash. "Why?" The guy raised both his eyebrows. "Lo's afraid of the same way people have my kayak disorder?"
Gesna also threw away the empty glass with a three-point shooting style, not poking Adit's question.
"If asked, it is answered, Non. Afraid not?" adit insist. The guy got on the bike.
Gesna pocketed hands in hoodie pocket. The cold air typical of the peak had already attacked.
"Fearful?" ask Adit again. "Gue will stay if so? You're scared of me."
Adit pulled the bike back, was about to leave. Lothawat! Should have been, he didn't say that to Adit. What if Adit is angry? What if he was left here? Gesna doesn't know where this is.
Gesna directly held the handlebars and stood in front of the motor.
Without Gesna knowing, behind the helmet the corner of Adit's lips lifted. "By the way, Non. Not the Pancoran statue, is it?"
"No!" gesna answered quickly and climbed into Adit's bonnet while wearing a helmet.
"Not what?" Adit turned face to back.
"Yes, I'm not afraid of you." Gesna spun Adit's helmet for the guy to look ahead because the bike had started running.
"Gue don't have to be scared, dear!" adit exclaimed along with the buzzing exhaust is getting higher and Gesna who clapped his helmet from behind.

At half-eight, they arrived at the destination hospital. Posts Emergency Installation gray plastered large with a bright red background.
Gesna immediately went down and ran into the room while Adit parked the motor.
In a hurry Gesna headed for the nurse's desk. Many small rooms are enclosed in curtains for immediate handling in critical conditions.
Unfortunately, the nurse was busy as well. IGD at that time the arrival of an impromptu guest, a traffic accident, a goat fight between two minibuses.
Panicking no one to ask, Gesna tried to peek at the rooms. Anxiously, he revealed one by one. Gandhi was not found.
"Dek, where the hell is it?!" pekik Gesna frustrated.
He was sure there was no wrong location. His family's hospital is here. Gesna repeatedly pulled the curtain down until the fifteenth curtain had not yet found Gandhi. There are so many curtains and rooms in this IGD. Naturally, this is one of the best hospitals in Bandung.
"Sus... Sus..." Gesna doesn't care if the nurse is busy or not. "There's a child patient named Gandhi, isn't he?"
He tried to pull the hand of a nurse who closed the curtain.
"Sorry, Tea. Please wait outside. It's urgent." The nurse asks Gesna to come out of the room.
Gesna sighed in annoyance. While the IGD is getting full of people passing by. The victim of the second minibus was being dropped from the ambulance. Nurses scurry to help the victim, blood looks scattered, moans are heard a lot.
Gesna's eyes try to look around, sweeping the view from left to right so that nothing goes unnoticed. Gandhi was not found.
"Dad!" call him. "Gandhi!" He screeched, hoping the nanny or Gandhi heard.
Niente. His call was ignored and answered by no one. Gesna pulled over her hair. His eyes are getting hot. Her body is tired. Five hours on the bike is not easy.
"Gandhi!"
His body leaning against the wall began to slump and crouch down. Hurriedly thinking of other alternatives, Gesna reached into the phone in her pants pocket. Turns out the phone ran out of power and Gesna forgot to bring a charger. Out of hope, Gesna covered both faces with palms.
How did he find Gandhi?
What if Gandhi needed him now?
What if the nanny doesn't hold a lot of money to vouch for Gandhi?
Gesna is losing.
He loved Gandhi very much. Mom and Dad can separate them. For Gesna no, Gandhi remained a part of his life.
Damnit damnit! Why is this world so cruel, are they the same?
"Which why?" The heavy voice of the fathers rebuked him. Gesna could not answer, her throat was choked. The voice was wondering again. However, Gesna was already very dizzy with the voice in her own head.
Slowly the father's voice disappeared, along with a large hand falling on his head, patting slightly, as if soothing. "Gandhi has moved into the ward. I told you, don't panic."
Adit pulled his arm so he could stand up. Gesna should have refused because it could have been part of the mode. It's just that Adit's physical exhaustion and fragrance that was as calm as the sea made him resigned as the guy grabbed into the embrace. He even returned a hug and drowned his face in that chest. Right now, he needs a backrest. He needs a savior, a superhero, a superhuman or whatever.
Adit patted Gesna on the shoulder slowly, calming her down again. Repeatedly Adit inhaled deeply the fresh scent of the head of the chick being hugged. Drawn his chin on the head of Gesna who was a blade height.
At the moment, Adit does not care who is in the role. Become a villain, be a knight or just a dwarf. To play Doc, Grumpy, Sleepy, or any of the seven dwarves that exist, is also okay. Being them together will be able to. As long as Princess Salju smiled again, she willingly.
"Don't worry, your dwarf is here" she whispered in Gesna's ear as she tidied up her short, messy hair.

So, whose team are you now? 😝
Gesna - Thunder what Gesna - Adit?
