If for every human being, sleep is an important need to rest the body, but for Gesna, right now, sleep is the only way to be able to run away from the restless mind all night. Just imagine, he returned at three in the morning and when he closed his eyes, his brain was still thinking about the words of Thunder. He's not really sleeping.


"Ah, where's this fainting?! Whoa, Ge... Gege!"


Gesna felt a hand patting her body. The clap also came to the cheeks as it forced Gesna to wake up. In fact, Gesna had not long been able to close his eyes after emptying his mind. He rubbed his eyes, disturbed.


"Kan, this is not fainting" exclaimed Asri who was in a sports uniform and sat on a bench beside the UKS bed.


"What's up, huh?" asked Gesna to look around. The UKS suddenly became crowded. There were Asri, Thunder, and Renard. In fact, earlier, he only came with Naraya with a lofty universal ideal of sleep.


Asked like that, Naraya was instead seen holding back a laugh by holding his stomach. The girl has not explained why Asri, Guntur and Renard joined. Oh, yes, there is another one that escaped his sight earlier, there is Adji —kakak class who is familiar with him and Naraya— here.


"How are you guys? Healthy?" asked Renard watching Naraya and him. Renard was among those Gesna invited to the club last night. The guy also witnesses how awesomeness Naraya is also his last condition.


"Faith," answered Naraya briefly.


The thunder began to stand up. Her body rises as high as an adult swimming pool. The palm of the globe-sized hand that had been patting Gesna's face now began to clench his head. "Gue thinks really fainting knows! He was heavy last night. Make me worry anyway, lo," said Guntur.


Gesna just clucked and brushed off the thunder hand raid. He does not want to be smarted. The debate with Thunder last night made him lazy to talk to the guy.


Realizing he was suddenly blind to Thunder, Naraya's distinctive slanted smile was seen, and the girl who explained the matter sat down. "Sori. Since Gege was so sleepy, we went to the UKS. Keep me hungry but lazy to cooperative so nitip buyin bread same adek class passing. I said someone fainted. Uh, why is it so long as this is the story?"


Asri. "Yes, long, Nay. The class you asked for, went straight to the cafeteria to let you know that Gege passed out. What time are you home?" ask Asri. Despite being invited by the two of them last night, Asri refused.


"Hour three," replied Gesna. After arguing and refusing to be held by Thunder, he chose to come home and sleep at his friend's house. Naraya's house where no one is safer than his. Gustav could have not slept when he came home.  After all, staying at Naraya's house was quite assured. The size of their uniform is the same, Gesna can borrow Naraya's school uniform.


"Still night. Why don't you go home in the morning?"  The insinuation came from the corner. Gesna can see Adji raising both eyebrows. The former basketball captain before Renard did not like to hear his answer.


Gesna scratched behind the ear and glanced at Naraya, intending to ask for help. Naraya is usually very good at breaking Adji's sentences. However, Naraya looks as foolish as not hearing anything while Adji's sharp gaze looks different. Gesna then grinned, immediately realizing there was something strange from the two of them. "It didn't even want to go home but it turns out that Nay still remembers the way home" he said originally to provoke Adji's reaction.


"Sok okay," Adji snorted and immediately left the UKS.


Gesna as much as possible biting his lips, his laughter was about to spurt. He secretly discovers the common thread why Naraya was so terrible last night and why Adji is so angry, today. There must be nothing between the two of them. After Adji left, Asri and Renard also left the UKS room. Only he, Thunder and Naraya remain.


"Gee... Did you eat?" Unknowingly being silenced, Thunder instead placed a hand on the temple of Gesna to guess the temperature. "Still sleepy? No nutmeg?"


Gesna stood up and sat down. Actually, it's not the body not hot, the heart is hot. "Cantin yuk, Nay."


"No ah, you guys. I have a little business." Naraya shrugged his shoulders and left. Leaving him alone with the world's most insensitive creature.


"Lo's hungry, isn't he? Eat, yuk?" invite Thunder while glancing at the watch. "There's still time."


Without saying much, Gesna simply nodded and rushed into the shoes. He followed Thunder who was already standing at the door of the UKS, but Thunder's footsteps stopped and looked at him.


"Ge, how pale? Did you have breakfast this morning?"


Gesna just browed without an answer. Letting his shoulders be embraced by Thunder and directed to the canteen. Along the way in the corridor, Thunder greeted him about his health and he just nodded his head for the sake of peace of life. The rant was finally finished as well after they reached the cafeteria.


"So I keep going, you think I'm a news reader what?!" thunder protested as they entered the canteen the man had chosen.


Gesna. "Why is this cafeteria, anyway?"


"Where do you want to go? Canteen Pespel? It's nice, familiar with its savage inhabitants." Thunder chuckled with a grimace while ordering chicken rice to the canteen guards.


The canteen is quite crowded. There were even several pairs of eyes directed to the table that Thunder had chosen. Gesna knows why. Besides because he is more often in the canteen Pespel and rarely come to this canteen, also because he is with Guntur Pamungkas. Guys who are as tall as monsters, his laugh looks like a genie but many who crave. "Rather than here, it contains all subtle beings. I'll take it later," murmured Gesna.


The canteen labeled the canteen of a thousand people is dominated by women and see, their behavior all suddenly pretentious when Thunder comes. There were even some who pretended to greet Thunder and himself. Obviously, the greeting to him was just a pleasantries. The girls actually just wanted to say hello to Thunder.


Inwardly, Gesna often wondered why they idolized Thunder? If many like Renard who is good-looking for months and occupies the position of captain of men's basketball as well as chairman of OSIS, it might make sense. Thunder is not handsome. Thunder is cute, an absolute item.


But despite being black, Thunder is a school whiz. Which if on the field like a mixture of droplets giraffe and leopard off the cage, very agile to resist the attack, seize the ball and immediately shoot back the ball into the opponent's ring. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Such often make Gesna ears deaf in the audience seats because of the screams of cheerleaders and girls.


"Eat, Ge!" The words of the thunder awakened him. The long, puffy hand placed two rice dishes with fried chicken as well as a glass of warm sweet tea in front of him. "Lo's mouth must be energized."


Gesna clucked lightly because it was not appetite yet. The hunger did not come from earlier when his stomach was not filled with a grain of rice.


"If you say no cravings, I bribe using a cement shovel," said Guntur stick out his tongue. It was indeed not Thunder of his name if it could not detect his gesture. Gesna can only stand still and scratch behind the non-itchy ears. His head was pushed slowly by Thunder and a plate filled with rice brought Thunder close to him. "Eat, oi! Don't eat, you'll die."


"Damn it!" gesna murmured softly making Thunder laugh roaring again. A typical grimace, like a person out of breath, which he had only heard from one person, Thunder. "Lo, watch out for death, laugh as if it were all the sins of mankind."


Replying to Gesna like that only made Thunder sneer small. The hand started scooping the rice and biting the chicken. "Your sins follow, too, Ge? I've got a lot of splashes from you."


Gesna rounded her eyes while pushing her sweet tea towards Thunder. He began to be affected to retaliate, unable to last any longer silencing Thunder's attacks. "No, stick it in the butek water. The sin of bejibun, yes! Liar Mamah."


Thunder pushed slowly behind Gesna's head. "Ye, I lied to Mamah too because of you. Uh, last night Mom asked where we were going? You see when Papah passed your house, my motorbike does not exist."


"Keep you said what?"


"Buy fried rice just like lo," Guntur said as he continued to chew quickly.


Gesna nodded and began to slowly spoon the rice. Remove cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce that exist to the edge of the plate. This thunder always deliberately let people put vegetables on his plate when he knew he did not like vegetables. "Well, is it thanks to vegetables? I'm not a goat."


"Bawel," replied the Thunder. The cucumber, tomato and lettuce that Gesna had set aside were then taken by Thunder and transferred to the man's plate. "By the way our sins must be just as heavy, Ge. Let's go to hell later we together .. but if you use absent, you will be called first."


Gesna began to forget his frustration. "A big-ass hunk of pretentious stuff, Gun. Gimana-gimana also remain lo who will enter first. You know now there is a hell of an invitation path for people whose hobbies are pinging chat?"


The long chair they were sitting in shook. There was a rice child leaping out of Thunder's mouth so that the man lowered his head to the table to avoid the attention of the others. Gesna knew the hell, Thunder deliberately sent a ping in the message so that he was upset, but the repeated pings were disrespectful.


"Forge, woy! The earthquake!" gesna said as he elbowed Guntur who was still laughing. "Lo is a great hobby like making friends upset. Find another hobby that produces try, mengepet it."


Thunder Laughter had subsided, started to re-spend the food and gulp down her mineral water. "No, ah. My hobby is obvious, basketball. Bagusan prettier than pretentious," said Thunder back mocking him. Thunder Eyes watched him eat. "Yes, eat a long time, Ge. How do you get into the army? Not yet been tested for your fall."


Gesna stirred his rice which was still half a plate with wide swerving eyes. "Why did I get into the army? Sorry, but Bang. I catch a cold instead of entering the army so my food does not need to be accelerated. Finalist Putri Indonesia I think this meal must be elegant."


"Indonesian princess kayak lo? Explode the stage." Thunder chuckled again. "Why catch a cold than enter the army? Apple to Apple."


"Well, let out the wind. It hurts but it does not. Lah, let me go into the army? The test of my life is a lot, don't add to it. Let me just find the husband of the general, be done."


"Wake, woy. It was noon, still a dream. General's wife, what general? General kancil?"


Gelak Thunder back sonorous make Gesna glare and hiss, "Laknat really lo, if ngetawain I'm always number one."


Thunder glanced slowly, his laughter was gone. From the man's eye movements, Gesna knew that Thunder was getting serious. "No need to go to me. Your own fault. Why did you try undercontrol last night?"


"Who is undercontrol? Just plain," replied Gesna.


"Gue seriously." Thunder who knew the location of Gesna's weakness then grabbed his ear. "Lo's getting more and more confused, you know?"


Gesna's hand was brushed off. He went back to chewing the chicken while glancing at the watch. "But now, bentar. If you want to preach, I must set the timer first so that your cult is not more than seven minutes. I'll spit on it later."


"Calps. It says really, too." Thunder pushed back Gesna's head and was met with a whimper. "Just remember, Ge. Don't go to that place if it's not the same as me. Danger, tauk!"


Gesna chose to just mutter while biting the chicken, apparently not listening seriously to the explanation.


"We can't keep going, Ge. I was worried that sooner or later Mamah could find out," Guntur added.


Starting to get bored, Gesna rolled her eyes. He did not have time to answer, a woman stood beside their table and called Thunder, "Thunder...."


Their conversation came to a halt and Thunder so turned to the white-skinned girl with shoulder-length hair who looked slightly nervous. "Sori bothered, I was Line lo but not yet read. Can you meet now? Renard, Naraya, the others are already in the same room."


Head Gesna directly scanned the incoming figure. In addition to his achievements in basketball, Guntur also served as treasurer of OSIS. Sometimes Gesna did not think, why would his friends want to be made dizzy by the organization? In the scope of his friendship, there was Naraya, Renard and Thunder who all entered into the core management of OSIS this year. And this is how the risk of being friends with famous people in school, some are mengudeta them.


Their long chairs swayed, Thunder reached into the cell phone in the pocket of the pants. "Oh, yes, sori, Ling. I don't see hape. It was the care of the sick gorilla baby" said Guntur while pushing Gesna's head somehow. "Eh, Ling, this is Gesna. Ge, this is Joceline, the secretary of OSIS."


The girl that Thunder had introduced just smiled stiffly as she reached out. Gesna knows Joceline, all OSIS management candidates will be required to make a speech in the field during the nomination. He welcomed Joceline's hand with a heavy heart, for some reason. Those pale hands felt cold as they shook hands.


"Ge, I go first, yeah. Okay, don't sulk anymore. I bought this meal. Go straight to class if you're still limp." Thunder then stood up while patting his head softly. Thunder's steps rushed out of the canteen, followed by Joceline.


Gesna's gaze was still fixed on the shadow of the disappearing Thunder. Secretly, there was a sense that he was trying to deny, there was a desire that he was fighting, all of it suddenly disturbed him.


Last night, when Thunder mentioned Naraya's name in a whisper, Gesna's mind suddenly went blank. In the music that is getting louder, the jolt is getting higher, the visitor who is getting dissolved in sweat and the unconscious of each, Gesna feels his heart clanging from being hit by something rough and hard. For so long he tried to deny the feelings that should not exist for his own friends, last night Gesna felt really defeated.


Gesna loved Thunder more than a friend, a long time ago.
