Fire Sun

Mrs. Aditya

It felt enough, Adit returned the guitar to the child who sat among them. The boy was wearing a gray shirt with a widened neck. Her hair was like corn hair, probably because it was often sun-baked.

"Whose name?" ask Adit while looking down, align high with the busker.

"Iduy, Bang."

"Iduys? Lo's name, Yudi?"

The little guard named Yudi nodded.

"But you don't like gambling, do you?"

Gesna immediately elbowed him. Adit pretended to complain while holding back Gesna's fingers.

"No, Bang. Good Iduy nabung to buy a guitar." Yudi shook his head for sure. Adit gave a piece of reddish-colored money that Iduy received with sparkling eyes. "This is for all Iduy, Bang?"

Adit nodded, breeding disbelief just now. The guy smiled as he rubbed Yudi's head. "Lo's a good sound, Duy. Diligent vocal exercises same guitar. I'm sure you'll be successful."

"Iduy only has this guitar, Bang. It's also Abah's."

Adit's eyes lit up with a full day. Her lips smiled again while holding onto both of Yudi's shoulders. "Patience and don't give up. Great people are not easy."

Gesna could see Yudi nodding enthusiastically. Adit's words just gave a spirit fire and the boy immediately smiled cheerfully. Leaving them by waving their hands.

Adit checked the phone at a glance to see the time. "Udah at ten. Home, yuk?"

After Gesna nodded, the man grasped it all the way. Down the dimly lit aisle that began to fade. Parking starts to fall. The parking attendant also went nowhere.

Adit will start the bike when he realizes one thing. The guy came back down, headed for the front tire and knelt checking.

"Why?" ask Gesna to come down.

Adit just kept quiet, then looked to the right and left. The body immediately stood up then his eyes swept around in an observant manner, like looking for something.

"The tires are torn," Adit said, twisting his chin in the direction in question. "If from a tear, there is something to make."

Gesna looked down, watching the flat tire. The size of a large tear certainly makes anyone know that it is not the result of a nail. That severe tear can't be patched.

"So how?" Gesna watches Adit from behind the helmet. The guy folded his arms around his chest, like he was thinking.

Adit took a deep breath. "It's late at night, it's cloudy too. You should go home. I order you a taxi online, yeah."

Adit pulled out his phone and ordered a taxi, then sat back on the seat while still vigilantly observing the surroundings.

"Keep lo, how?" tanya Gesna folded her hands.

The man opened the helmet and then shook his head.  "It's okay, I'll try to contact the subscription workshop. What matters is that you go home first, it'll rain."

"Isn't anything won?"  Gesna looked back at Adit.

The man shook his head again and smiled slightly, picking up the phone to talk to the driver. Gesna's hands were again clasped and they walked slightly towards the waiting vehicle.

Adit opens the luggage first, ensuring the license plate and driver. After feeling fit for the app, the guy opens the door and delivers Gesna inside.

"Sir, please get my girlfriend to the destination safely, yes," Adit told the driver, greeted with a nod. "Be careful, Sir. Don't speed it."

Before closing the door, Gesna's head was rubbed back. The lips are still smiling. "When I get home, I'll tell you, yeah. Careful."

Gesna nodded obediently. The door closed and he lowered the window to stare at Adit's hand.

The taxi walked away from that poor guy and the guilt in Gesna's heart. He even turned his body to see Adit's body getting smaller.

From far away, Adit looks back to the parked motorbike. Motorcycle with tires badly torn due to the action. Yes, Gesna who tore using a knife when Adit bought the crust of eggs. Gesna wants to prank that guy.

Phone's vibrating.

Mr. A: Be careful on the road. Don't sleep. Or do I want to call let me have a chat?

For the first time, he was moved to retaliate.

Gesna: No need, you will take care of the motor again.

Mr. A: Yes, don't forget to tell. Careful.

Gesna fell silent, scolding the writing on her phone. Not knowing what to answer, Gesna did not reply to Adit's message again. He chose to save Adit's contacts as well as press the friend request button on Line.

Along the way Gesna just daydreamed, looking at the crowded streets with blank stares. He drew a lot of air and exhaled again. Adit's bullying intention ends with a feeling of guilt enveloping himself. Even after reaching home and changing clothes, the guilt still made him uneasy.

Steal wallets? Check.

Water flush? Check.

Engine tire? Check.

Instead of being angry, Adit instead showed a reaction beyond Gesna's prejudices. Weird, huh? Isn't the Chief sadistic? Ever hit a man until his teeth are broken. Everyone was afraid of him and did not dare to disturb him. But why is that so patient?

Gesna means, if he's the one who was bullied by someone like Adit, just now. That man must have been dunked into the swamp.

Gesna moved from the bed to close the curtains. Cellphone ringing. Gesna grabbed the phone. Next hand closes the curtain, next to it again checks the phone.

Adit called.

"Hello," answered Gesna with a neutral voice, unwilling to sound joyful at his call to entry.

"Where?" ask Adit directly without further ado.

Gesna turned her back on the curtain, walking towards the corner to turn on the balcony lights. "Home."

"Not told you?"

Gesna bit her lower lip nervously. He did not think that Adit was waiting for news. He didn't tell her because he thought Adit was just a small talk.

"Forgotten" he said spontaneously.

Adit took a slow breath. "Look out your window" he asked.

Gesna was glued. His brain was slow to process Adit's request. After understanding, he ran towards the window and pulled the curtain back.

Down there, someone looked up at him, smiling while pocketing his hand in his jacket pocket. The smile that managed to make Gesna hypnotized to the bottom and approach him.

"Kok you come here?" tanyanya.

"Just make sure Putik's head is fine," Adit said looking at him.

Gesna. Around Adit there is nothing. There is no motor or vehicle. "Lo here up what? What's your motor?"

"The motor has been towed to a subscription workshop." The man grimaced a little, leaning against the tree in front of the house. "So, ride Gojek."

"Huh? A gojek? Why come here again, anyway? You should go straight home," decak Gesna.

"You didn't tell me, even though the report on the app has arrived" Adit explained. "Yes, already. Yeah, had. I'm home."

The guy pulled out a cell phone, ordered an ojek online. A little to Gesna's house to give details of the location to the driver. "Sori, disturb. Come in again, gih. I just wanted to see you, just now."

Gesna clucked loudly. He is indeed jail, often a prank against his friends. However, all their original behavior is not a criminal act. He was already uncomfortable for what he did to Adit's bike and now, that guy is adding more discomfort to Gesna.

Gesna's hand reflexively pulls Adit from under the tree, inviting him to sit on the porch.

"Dit," he called carefully. "Lo made his own decision, it didn't involve me."

Adit. The man's gaze was fixed, waiting for Gesna's next sentence.

"Lo didn't ask me the answer just yet, did he?"

Adit blinked and nodded in understanding. Tense expression. "Yes, sori. I didn't mean to force you."

"Dit, I don't want to be Mrs. Aditya," said Gesna then silent for a moment.

They both do not talk.

"Gue doesn't want to be his mistress, not married yet. Am I a mother?" added Gesna. "Gue wants to be a lady, like the one you've been calling all this time."

Gesna nodded with a smile. He believes Adit's good. He believed. And there is no harm in giving a chance to people who want to try. After all, he couldn't possibly want to force his feelings to understand Thunder. The guy already has a choice partner.

The smile on Adit's lips began to re-develop. Rising from the seat, Adit positioned his body on the floor. Gesna's hand was clasped and the man put his hand on Gesna's thigh.

"Now, you're my girlfriend. I want to make you happy and happy. What was your first wish for me?"

Gesna didn't know what to answer. Adit's question just felt sudden. However, his mouth moved on its own, asking for something at will.

"Guide me eat, every day."

Ojek orders Adit has come and sounded the horn. Adit replied to wait a while. The guy got up and smiled, shuffling his head gently.

"Ready, girlfriend. I'll go home first, yeah."

The guy passes away without rejecting Gesna's strange request. Successfully made his chest back pounded and rowdy.

***

"Gesh!" Bu Muslicha's voice breaks Gesna's daydream. "Try to explain again, which I just explained."

Gesna gulped, glancing around who was trying to hide the laughter. During this time if the students are bored with the explanation of Ms. Muslicha, they will still act listening while pretending to write. Despite the fact that Gesna would draw pictures, Naraya wrote poems or others doodled the contents of the book. At least all acting is learning, not gawking like he just did.

He looked to the side. Naraya looks careless, ignoring his request for help. Since the cinema yesterday, they have not rebuked each other. Naraya couldn't help, this time. With resignation, Gesna shook her head. She did not understand what Miss Muslicha was explaining.

"Don't understand, right? That's why listen to my explanation. Don't daydream."

Smiling wryly, he nodded. "Yes, Mom."

Ms. Muslicha continued with another explanation. The phone in Gesna's pocket vibrated. Slowly, he tried to peek. Because mobile phones should not be played during the teaching and learning process takes place.

Gesna bowed his head.

Mr. A : Hello, sweetheart.

Mr. A: I was late, and I kept climbing the fence next to the mosque.

Mr. A: You know, but be quiet. No, not look.

Gesna smile. That's the school security. It turns out that people like Budi also fall prey to Adit. From earlier, Gesna was not concerned with learning. His brain is still loading. He woke up today in a state of disbelief with the new status at hand.

He's the chieftain's girlfriend.

Chieftain.

CHIEFTAIN.

Imagine.

Imagine Adit saying 'I'. Imagine the feared person in school clasping his hands. Imagine the figure that also admired the girl secretly was her partner.

Imagine.

Bay—

"Have, Gesna?" a sudden voice whispered next to him. Gesna held her head up, Miss Muslicha was already there with a terrible grin. "Now you go out and lift your foot next door."

The entire eyes of the class stared pityfully at him. Gesna stepped cute and happy. At least outside, he was free to daydream without being disturbed.

As soon as he got outside the classroom, Gesna stood beside the window, raising her next leg. No matter which spy turned his head towards her, Gesna resumed daydreaming, thinking about the events of the night with a smile. Just like people are insane.

"Crazy foresight, self-smiling, Non."

Gesna raised his head. The person who was daydreamed flashed while smiling jail. "Why were you punished?"

Gesna rolled her eyes. "Read more Line lo!"

"Needy-lipped lackey." Adit chuckled slightly then glanced into the classroom, looking at Bu Muslicha who was watching them. He walked past Gesna. "His concern" whispered Adit.

The guy's missing around the corner. Gesna looked back. Being on the second floor makes being punished standing outside the classroom not so fun. The walls block the view to the lower field.

A hissing sound came from the corner. Gesna. Adit reappeared from behind the wall and walked around, past him again. "Calm down, I'm calm" he whispered as he passed by.

"Lo not learning? It's 12th grade."

Adit who has passed the door of the Gesna class, the boundary between his class and the next class, then turned the body again. "Look off, it's empty. Not sore?"

Gesna shook her head lightly while smiling amusedly. Adit doesn't realize that he's pacing around like a rub. "Lo's not tired of being alone?" hisses.

Adit just smiled. Next time, Gesna should remind the guy not to smile a lot. He could have a heart attack for a long time.

"You yourself? Not tired downstream in my mind?" whiskey Adit.

Gesna glanced at Adit who had reached the other end. The guy turned around again. "Do you know why I'm late? Last night, couldn't sleep."

"Why?" Gesna's lips just moved without sound.

"Remember you."

Gesna snorted little, looking down to hide the smile. Adit's grubby, crisp, but funny too. Can be entertaining in times when he needs entertainment.

Class door opened. Miss Muslicha's face came out of there. "You," he told Adit. "Remain from back and forth here?"

Gesna. From behind the big window behind him, he saw that the whole class was laughing in secret, except for Naraya. It seems like they are also aware of the peculiarities of Adit going back and forth through their class.

Adit who tepergok Bu Muslicha then turned his back, "Eh, Mother. How are you, Mom? I want to be taught by Mom," he said as he greeted Ms. Muslicha's hand.

"Well, you're pacing back and forth from earlier, Adit? Your class is upstairs? You want to disturb Gesna?" Despite thrusting a hand to be saluted, Ms. Muslicha still frowned at Adit ferociously.

"Ih, Mom, don't be so creepy. Later the beauty is lost," Adit's tease heard by the class. The rest of Gesna's class began to laugh silently back.

Being praised like that made Miss Muslicha's face suddenly blush. His voice is low. "What the hell are you? Don't disturb the Gesna."

"I'm not bothering you, Mom. Just I see, this Gesna is like sick again. Look at me, Mom. His face was red and dry. If he's why our school is being accused, ma'am" Adit replied diplomatically.

Ms. Muslicha turned to Gesna, examining Adit's words. "Gesna, are you sick?"

Gesna just looked down, and bit his tongue. He tried to hold back the laughter that made his face even more red.

"Do you know that Gesna has epilepsy?"

Gesna held her breath. His sense of laughter was already unstoppable. He coughed until tears came out.

"No, Mom. He's my neighbor, Mom. That's why I know. He likes convulsions, Mom."

Remind Gesna to shake Adit's head, later.

Ms. Muslicha is starting to soften. The woman glanced at the watch, soon also taking a break. "Yes, already. You go to the UKS, Gesna. Next time, don't daydream the same play hape if you're learning."

Hearing that, Adit immediately thrust himself. "Let me take Gesna to the UKS, Mom. You believe me the same."

The guy then held his arm and guided towards the UKS room which was on the first floor. At the corner to the stairs, Adit looked back.

"Aman" said Adit, poking the tip of Gesna's nose. "Either if you learn again do not daydream the same play hape, Jessica."

Gesna thaws, releasing Adit's grip on his arm. "It's also because lo, you know. Why do I say I'm epileptic, anyway? Ugly is praying!"

Gesna hit Adit's arm. The guy chuckles softly while pocketing both hands. They went down the west staircase.

"Kok Bu Muslicha can be the same?" ask Gesna. He wondered how Adit could casually talk to Ms. Muslicha, at a time when every student was afraid to deal with her.

"Who was? Adit."

That was Adit's answer. But Gesna began to understand. Adit often discusses history with him. Not to mention Adit is a favorite student of Ms. Muslicha. Adit even dared to tease that Mother earlier.

"Gue understands. Lo dear Miss Muslicha, huh? You can like to memorize so much history," Gesna said.

Adit laughed again, not letting go. Up in front of the UKS, the guy pulled him towards the cafeteria.

"Mother Muslicha loves me. You ain't?" adit's God is flickering.
