Closer

Adit turned to the girl who was suddenly tense at the side. "payment college. The cashier's mom is waiting for me."

He rubbed Gesna's nose and whispered, "In the left pocket of your hoodie. Will you take it or am I the rogoh?"

Gesna doesn't know that Adit saw her clutching a stolen wallet. Seen from the glass behind them, when Adit turned his head earlier.

Adit did find something strange about Gesna's sudden concern. No wind no typhoon. And his suspicions were proven.

Gesna let out a sigh. It failed! It failed. His left hand grabbed Adit's wallet and returned it to the owner. Beyond a doubt, Adit did not accept. Just ask him to pay, "Pay gih. Open it."

The cashier was getting impatient. Seeing that, Gesna desperately opened a wallet that was the size of an inch. The place of money made of leather was folded in half. To the right is a row of cards and there is a bulkhead. On the left are two pieces. From the left partition looks red, Gesna take as needed and give to the cashier.

After the transaction is completed, Adit takes the bag that the cashier has prepared. Gesna followed him out of the clothes shop. Getting outside, Gesna returned the wallet with a grin. "Sori, I was so fucking pranky."

Instead of being accepted, the man walked around and sang an ad for a shopping mall, "Working overtime like a horse. Until I forget the old man. Oh, heart feels bad. I mean happy old people. What power is in the thugs. How cruel it's thugs."

Adit then glanced at him. "Eh, not this one anyway. Robbed of his wallets."

Insinuated, Gesna patted Adit on the head with a black wallet bearing the famous brand. "It's me back, Bajuri. No need to be lebay."

Adit remained stubbornly evasive.

"Take gih. I'll actually rob you just to know the taste," threatened Gesna.

"A stolen wallet? Brother's heart isn't?" Adit blinked flirtatiously making Gesna pretend to vomit. "Ramp aja. You know the rest of my wallet. Want to rob me of the abuse."

When paying earlier, Gesna so know how much money left. But still the amount is good enough to hold inside the wallet.

"Lo used to bring a lot of money, huh, Dit? Danger bege." Gesna followed Adit's steps. "Cashless package."

"No, usually not much. Yesterday the intention wants to go the same way, so I make money. Who knows I'm being stabbed. Eh yearya no longer being hacked, robbed." Adit.

"Anjay. It's me turning! I also paid for my clothes. Who wants to rob? I still have money to buy." Gesna's starting to stumble. His move stopped and thrust Adit's wallet. "Take it? If you don't want to accept it, I'm throwing this wallet out!"

Adit stopped. His eyes scanned Gesna at a glance. Somehow, repeatedly, there was a sense of pleasure to find Gesna who was disturbed by his actions. "Murder mulu. Old spit later, Non. Hold my wallet first. My hands again hold this groceries," he said, raising both hands holding grocery bags.

Obviously it's just an excuse, Gesna knows. He follows Adit to the parking lot with misuh-misuh.

The journey home was taken in silence. Gesna himself actually likes the city of Bandung. The city is not as cold as before but the big trees are still there and make it comfortable.

"Do you know what a park is called?" Adit stretched the glass of the helmet and pointed at a park they passed just below the overpass. The place was filled with cubical-like seating.

Gesna advanced the body so that Adit's voice could be heard clearly. "What?"

"Read it."

"Where?" Gesna was still curious and looking for answers. The Adit motor runs slowly near the park.

"That's the red one."

Gesna's eyes were glued to a large inscription that Adit pointed to, in red with one white accent. ROMP.

"Jomlo, like lo." Adit chuckles to make Gesna pat the guy's helmet. "Then yuk later."

"Wh, why?"

"As fellow singles, we should visit each other. Who knows if I'll meet a soul mate there." That's the strangest idea Gesna's ever heard of in life. "Especially mojang Bandung is beautiful. White, sweet, soft."

Adit mentions the criteria of girls that many men like most. It makes Gesna sick. "Lo likes white, sweet, soft? No pacarin is sweet! Fake and false advertising. Like people who are hard you use a soul mate in such a place. Just found out I'm tacky."

Adit's hand justifies the left rearview mirror so Gesna can see the eye from the reflection of the glass. Adit glanced at the rearview mirror and looked into his eyes, "If you don't agree, don't be quick, Non."

The man grabbed his hand which was holding a grocery bag. "Handle, I'm speeding."

Sure enough after the warning Adit did drive his bike, and not long after they had arrived at the hospital.

Gandhi was asleep when they returned. Adit goes into the bathroom to change clothes while Gesna approaches the nanny. "Where did you eat that, a lot?"

"Not so, Brother. But start eating."

Gesna nodded, rubbing Gandhi's hand. The bathroom door is open. Adit not only changed his clothes, but washed his face again. There are still water spots left on the face, making it look fresh. The guy put his shoes in the corner of the room and wore flip-flops.

"Gue go first yes," Adit said as he moved towards the exit.

"Where are you going?" gesna did not understand. And Adit's answer made Gesna's mouth open.

"Form, Non."

Thunder turned his head in wonder when Naraya arrived at the first break. Usually, Naraya always objected to the meeting at rest. The girl said, break hours should be used for rest, not for meetings.

Renard discussed quickly what his agenda was. After the protest about the efficiency of the meeting, there was a significant change. The guy said that the OSIS core team will help the committee in terms of finding funds. The core team was not named in the proposal, but the success of this event is a shared responsibility. There are several groups that have been divided to start spreading sponsorships.

Thunder himself was in a group with Renard, Naraya and Joceline. Today, they will spread the proposal northward. Coincidentally Renard had already made an appointment with one big company.

"Now, yuk?" take Naraya when the meeting is over and the four of them stay in the room.

Renard's gaze narrowed. "Do you want to cut classes?"

Naraya's turn glanced sharply. "It's Friday. If you want to meet people must be early in the morning, not to mention on the road. My experience last year, there's this kind of staff missing from the office out of lunch."

The girl looked at Thunder. "Tur, you obviously try to him. The difference between the same madol."

Before a showdown like yesterday began, Guntur took the initiative to cut off the conversation. "Yes, yes. Let's just walk out of this break. How's it?"

Joceline and Naraya nodded. Thunder awaited a reply from Renard. The kid must have objected to leaving lessons. "It's okay to learn a lesson. This is the risk if you want responsibility," he assured Renard.

Renard mengembus napas. "Oke. Ayo kita bersiap."

In Thunder's mind there was already a brilliant idea that he would apply. It's just for the common good. Renard and Naraya should be able to get to know each other and stop attacking each other.

"Let's hurry, we split two more groups. I'm with Ling-ling, Renard is with Naraya" Guntur said in the parking lot. "So, each group can go to four offices and submit proposals. Have time to also talk to the office person if for example need an explanation."

"Gue is the same, Tour," elak Naraya.

Thunder shakes. He has to keep Naraya with Renard. "If you're the same me, their group's time is being asked. You're sure they can clear up as convincing as we can?"

Naraya was silent for a moment, as if realizing the truth of his words. "Yes, yes." The girl starts riding on Renard's black bike. "Awas lo if ngeselin again. I'm staying."

"Me or you?" remard reply slowly.

From behind the glass of his bogony helmet, Naraya looks glaring. "Well, whoa, whoa. Tour, I'm the same."

The thunder instantly pressed down on the gas, running the motor away from the school. Pretending not to hear a call from Naraya for good.

His shoulders were patted from behind. Joceline tried to tell. "Tur, Naraya call. He said he wanted to fuck with you."

While opening a little glass, Thunder laughed. "Biarin. I intentionally put them both together. Let's not fight too much. Don't you mind hearing it?"

Joceline. "Later Naraya gets angry with us, Tour."

"No. Just calm down. Naraya's not as bad as we think, really."

Thunder then closed the helmet glass back and began to concentrate on the streets. He remembers Gesna saying that Naraya was good. Only, not many dared to interact with the girl in school.

Of course Thunder trusted Gesna more than the rumors in school. Gesna is close to Naraya, has also stayed at Naraya's house several times.

Oh, aye. There were no Gesna scooters in the parking lot, right? Is the child going to school or not? Thunder clucking. He'll contact Gesna after the proposal is done.

Naraya put a tray containing potatoes, a burger and a glass of soda. They agreed to meet the four at one of the fast food restaurants after dropping off the proposal. Circulating proposals and explaining the contents of proposals is quite energy draining.

"Not both," Renard replied with a wry expression. He doesn't like to be accused of that.

"What?" tanya Guntur tried to mediate before there was another quarrel.

"Renard, just want to know about my rumors at school" Naraya replied lightly. The girl poked her potatoes into the chili.

"That doesn't mean you care."

"Choose," said Naraya. "Would you like to be a BOS reporter too?"

Without the two of them noticing, Thunder's smile began to expand. He who sat before Naraya and Renard began to believe that his plan was working. "Ling, you know what?"

Joceline.

"If South Korea .." he said by turning to Naraya. "... and North Korea." As soon as he mentioned North Korea his head looked at Renard.

"... start talking about peace negotiations?" ask him to Joceline.

Joceline who did not understand then nodded. "Yes knows. Although my bokap said, North Korea has refused again because of South Korea's war games with the US. Hopefully, yes, the tour. If there were no wars, life would feel more comfortable."

Hearing Joceline's serious response, Thunder simply smiled knotfully. "Yes, peace."

He saw the two in front. "Life feels more comfortable" Thunder repeated by emphasizing the words just now.

Thunder was sure they understood the meaning of his words. Naraya looked to roll his eyes while Renard chose silence while sipping soda. 

The sky outside looked cloudy and drizzling started to descend. Oh yeah, he hasn't called Gesna. Thunder rushed to call.

"Whose phone are you? Very nervous." Naraya who was sitting in front turned out to be paying attention to Thunder.

Indeed, from earlier, Thunder clucked continuously. Gesna's phone is inactive. He had sent Gustav a message but it had not been answered. Maybe Gustav is in college.

"Geek. The gap is off" Thunder replied as he hung up the phone. Is Gesna sick? Or what if the phone is missing? He's clucking again. Gesna and sloppy are a combination of words that cannot be separated.

"Oh, Gege. He didn't come in. Again in Bandung."

"Hand? Why?" Thunder frowning. Gesna doesn't like dealing with her mother. So, to Bandung is something that the girl always avoids.

Naraya just put his shoulders and opened the burger paper, biting the edge while staring at the rain behind the window beside them.

Thunder Cellphone sounded. Incoming message from Gustav.

Thunder read the message with a thundered chest. Is there a sentence more horrible than the one he read?

Bang Gustav: Gesna to Bandung with Adit.

***

After Adit returned from Friday prayers, Gesna felt strange. Because the guy just took a meal at the hospital cafe and went straight back to the room. Then, the guy drowned in a book and ignored it.

If from yesterday Gesna wants Adit to be quiet and not talk much. Why does it feel so lonely now? He scratched the back of his head that was not itchy.

Gandhi was still asleep. His sister is recovering, just sleeping. The babysitter's out for lunch. Gesna repeatedly changed television channels, the spectacle was boring.

He switched to a new mobile phone. Silent. No one called. Not Naraya, Asri or Thunder. Oh my God why is it so quiet? He's dead style by now.

Gesna ruffled hair, frustrated. His eyes glanced at Adit who was as if not disturbed. "Lo buy a book?" the question breaks the silence.

"Yes," Adit replied shortly without turning his head.

"When?" Gesna just wants to find a conversation so that the room is not as crowded as a grave.

Gesna waited a few seconds, Adit did not answer. The guy seemed to realize that Gesna himself already knew the answer. Take it again, Markonah!

Adit got up from the sofa and sat down next to him. The boy's eyes remained fixed on the book with the image of a female silhouette, no one heeded it in the slightest.

Gesna clucked in annoyance, grabbed the phone and called Thunder. Three times he attempted to contact Thunder, but was not picked up.

The phone is put back on the table. He's joining her in a frenzy. His eyes revolved in the room looking for the rest of the notepads that were usually on the table but all exhausted.

Slowly he stood up and headed to the corner of the room. Start sitting on the floor and scratching the pen that was grasped earlier. The wall near this bathroom is too plain. Not fun.

Just now he was drawing a little Eiffel, sounding a slow screech on the side.

"Geez, Gesna! Is that really you?" Adit pulled the pen from his hand. Adit's gaze stoned him.

"Boring me. Whip off! There is no more paper. Where do I keep drawing? In your face?!" his weakness. After all, he did not care if the hospital objected later. Just claim and enter the bill, will be paid by the mother later.

Adit seemed to be breathing patiently. The guy pulled his body up from the floor and sat back on the dining table chair. Gesna thought Adit would stop reading. However, it turns out that Adit grabbed the book upside down at the table and read it back.

For the incomplete Eiffel Tower on the wall, it feels like Gesna wants to bite Adit! Gesna's lips have been pursed do not accept and say Adit in the heart.

Suddenly, a palm was placed in front of Gesna's face.

"I'm just here."

Gesna's eyes widened, staring at Adit in disbelief.

"Really! Picture here," repeated Adit.

Swiping a few times to confirm the offer, then Gesna immediately grabbed Adit's hand. He needs to draw to eliminate the marks. The questioner began to move deftly on Adit's left palm.

First, he drew an outer line first. Then it is equipped with thicken some lines to make it look alive. Drawing is always able to make Gesna relax. He even forgot that he should always be on the lookout for Adit.

Gesna's phone on the table vibrates. Gesna lifted and clamped the phone with his shoulder. Both hands are at work, the right is drawing and the left is holding Adit's finger straight.

"Hello, Love!" reply Gesna. His hands still continued to fill the black jar in the giraffe picture.

"Lho, how am I? I called three times but didn't answer! Oh, if that, yesterday hape I lowbat, do not bring cuy charger. Just bought it this morning on PVJ."

Adit glanced at Gesna from behind the book. The girl is still busy with her pictures but still can answer the phone. Girls are multitasking.

"Dengerin used to be a story dong, Love. Ah, you're a puffer, I don't like." Gesna chuckled as she held Adit's finger twitching with a jolt. "So I went to Bandung because yesterday afternoon called Ma'am, said Gandhi entered the IGD. Yeah, I'm jumping, speeding to Bandung."

Gesna makes giraffe ears, eyes and muzzles. "Yaelah, Gugun love. I said, I jumped. Sori, don't you want to tell. I'm not thinking. I really am panicking. Gandhi's? That's pretty good. Recovery again."

Adit swallowed. He knew Gesna and Thunder were close, but himself doubted the purity of their friendship. Although the eyes to the book, Adit's ears remain attached and can hear. His palm was amused by Gesna's pen but there were other things that made him more amused. Because it's held gently by Gesna's finger!

"Gue's? Now still in Bandung. No need, no papa, Gun."

After bottle-firing the giraffe's entire body, Gesna made its tail and ankles.

"What's? No wonder!" exclaim Gesna while raising the volume. "Huh? Lo again on the road? Lo rain? Geblik, what's the call?! Ogeb danger!"

Adit felt his breathing suddenly heavy. The letters in front are no longer readable. He was just focusing on hearing. The amused in the palm of the hand has reduced, the senses begin to adapt.

"Oh, just nyampe. Yes, you rest first. Take a shower, change your clothes. L'm I?" Gesna was seen silent for a moment, then continued to speak, "Gue is the same Gandhi, the same Ma'am, the same ..."

Adit's index and middle fingers bend, he pretends to still be amused. It made Gesna's left hand hold her finger. Adit bent his finger again, hooking his finger to Gesna's fingers. In silence, Adit waited for his name to be called.

"Huh?" Gesna is still engrossed in the phone. "No, that's it. Same with both of them. Yes, you rest sono first. Greetings to Mamah, Papah same Rainbow yes."

Gesna's left hand removed Adit's finger hook and grabbed the pinched phone. "Yes. Ready, Bosque. Greetings later I will be with. Drug."

Gesna turned off the phone. And Adit felt that the pen-eye that had drawn his hand was like it was scratching his heart as well. He is still considered non-existent.
