The Certainty That Pain

Thunder did not know what to react to when he returned to the tent and found a plate of shrimp in front. Another option is catfish and it is served in front of Joceline. Trying to think calmly, Thunder took a breath. "Shrimp kok? Order a chicken."

"Out of the chicken" replied Joceline who was across the street. "Why? Don't like it, do you?"

Thunder nodded. "I don't eat shrimp."

The Joceline's raut changed. The girl looked discouraged. "I don't know," she tried to change the dishes. "Do you want catfish?"

The table was then shrouded in stiffness as Thunder also shook his head, rejecting the catfish. He does not eat shrimp nor catfish until anytime. This was not because Thunder did not respect Joceline's choice. It is hard to explain to people who do not understand.

Suddenly, a hand pulled up the existing shrimp plate and swapped it for a piece of fried chicken.

"Big bag," interrupted Gesna as she scoffed at Thunder. "Gue's suddenly a shrimp peeper, Gun. Barter bye, yeah. You're kind again diligently saving."

Gesna's sinless smile was still painted even after leaving them. Thunder looked at the chicken with a sudden feeling of excitement. He smiled, and when Thunder raised his head, his gaze was met with Joceline's disappointed look.

"Yes, already. Yuk, eat," Guntur asked to start grabbing the chicken from Gesna. 

So long friendly with Gesna, he knew that the incident was only the reason for the girl to help him. Gesna is still the old Gesna, still a person who is sometimes annoying, troublesome but also loyal friends. Gesna would be the one in front if his friends were bullied. 

The chicken had become the most delicious chicken in the world that Guntur had ever eaten, although it still tasted the same made by Mamah. It is not about the taste of the chicken, but about the attention that remains.

The thunder was stirred again. Although the feelings that exist can never be expressed, at least their friendship will still be fine until anytime and that is enough. Thunder did not want to ask for more. Being watched and ridiculed as a friend is enough. Being bothered and coerced by a Gesna was enough. 

Like today, Gesna suddenly patronized her room early in the morning only to ask for company to the musical instrument store. 

"Gun, Gugun is awake." 

Thunder room door tucked. The thunder that was still writhing only answered lazily.

"Woy, a very lazy lo clock this time is still lying down?!" Gesna stepped into the room, sitting by the bed. The girl's been taking a shower, wearing clothes away. 

Thunder turned around, looking at his guest. "When else would Sunday not have been training if it wasn't for retirement?" he murmured while closing his eyes again. Yes, basketball training today is not held because the field at school is still filled with equipment and stages that are likely to be cleaned up all day.

The girl clucked while pulling the leg of Thunder that was poking out from under the blanket. "Gun, my friend, yuk. The shower, it's important!"

"Where?"

"Buruan, ah! Car, yeah. I want to buy a guitar." Gesna then mentioned the type of guitar to be purchased. The Yamaha Silent SLG200S.

"What are you doing, anyway? Can you just find a guy playing guitar who can sing you? Now there's a guy." Thunder grabbed the pillow and closed the ears so that Gesna did not get noisy. He's still sleepy. Last night after eating, they returned to school to watch Fiersa Besari's performance and ended at twelve. The thunder reached home at one in the morning.

"Not much to ask! Want to know what?!" Gesna who had snatched the pillow began to ruffle the waist, indicating the girl was really not kidding. "Directing, now?! Or am I flushing water?!"

Forced to wake up, Thunder murmured. He even repeatedly yawned along the road which was fortunately not crowded, letting Gesna ask and answer herself. 

"This shop or that one, Gun? It looks the same, but no, ding. This one looks like it's going to be cheaper" Gesna commented as she pulled her hand into a music store. The girl mentioned the type in question and came back out after the guitar did not exist. There were about four or five stores they went to before finding the guitar they were looking for.

"For whom, Ge? Must be that type?" thunder that is not out of thought with the energy of women in shopping. Sunday practice holidays should be used for hibernation. Looks like Gesna forgot that the chick was a buffalo drip.

"Must," replied Gesna briefly while paying attention to the price. Before long the girl grumbled slowly because the money was lacking and contacted Gustav immediately. "Bang, I need the money. Urgent! Make the guitar change the guy I rusakin."

Like hearing a short lecture, Gesna rolled her eyes. "Later Bang kultumnya, I again want to pay these payments. Can you transfer three million?"

"Whose guitar?" tanya Thunder eavesdropping.

Gesna who had closed the call then shook her head. "No, really. Actually not for a change."

"Keep for whom? Make lo? I think at home there's still a bad guitar." Thunder became inexhaustible. Gesna lied just to be able to buy the guitar. Is this guitar for Adit? Why did Gesna buy such an expensive guitar?

"I'll be telling a story." Gesna just shook her hands, asking Thunder not to ask much. After the transfer notification goes to the phone, the girl immediately pays for the guitar. The notched black box had a gesna slung on the right shoulder and was put to sleep in the trunk of Thunder's car. 

All the way home, Gesna just turned a blind eye. There was no intention of telling Thunder anything.

"Ge," called Thunder while staring at the streets. "Yesterday, you're going straight back to watching Fiersa?"

"Reverse" murmured Gesna opened her eyes. "Why?"

Thunder did not continue the story. Yesterday, there were words from Fiersa that immediately stuck in Thunder's mind after singing the song Front Line. Thunder is like being struck, like being shot, like being stabbed. 

"Bang Adit knows you're digosipin Lambe School, Ge?" Thunder glanced slightly to the side. Gesna took a deep breath, muttering in tears. "Good, deh. Let the kayak accounts be destroyed. Posts are weightless."

Gesna just sighed softly, looking agitated. Gesna's body turned and sat facing Thunder. It seems like someone has mastered the girl's mind. "What time was it, last night?"

"Four twelve is past, end of the kelar show." Guntur and Naraya and others had to make sure all before leaving the site, including checking whether there were field officials staying and whether the night watchman had arrived.

Gesna only shook his head limp and indifferently, but from the gaze of the girl it was like waiting for the continuation of the story. 

"And he finished singing the Front Line, and he kept saying the same thing. He said, if we really love someone, it's better to talk. Because in life, it is better to have painful certainty than sweet uncertainty. The sweet uncertainty of the edges will hurt as well," Guntur said with a faint smile, remembering how she was at that moment. "Hurry up, all right. Shouts all one field."

"Fiersa, by the way?" ask Gesna to make sure she gets back.

"Yes, I remember his words."

The girl looked slurred and repeated the sentence. "Better painful certainty than sweet uncertainty."

"Better painful certainty than sweet uncertainty" said Gesna again while restoring the position of the body as before. The chick repeated several times until it confused Thunder himself.

***

The Fiersa sentence that Thunder spoke and he repeated certainly still continued Gesna remembered. Gives him the strength to come and throw that great guitar in front of Adit. Almost fooled, almost fooled by sweet uncertainty. 

If last night she was lazy to pick up the phone Ilham, maybe until now she is still a stupid woman who began to believe that in this world there is really a dear to her as a woman. Not as a brother or as a friend.

That's amazing, Adit. Justjust wonderful. Gesna forgot to clap loudly in front of the guy's face. It could lift and flatter him so high that he flew and was dropped to the bottom of the earth. Gesna cursed a heart that was too weak when it received a sweet treatment. Gesna cussed at his forward and backward instincts when receiving good treatment. Stupid people don't see places and don't see people.

Hugging both feet, Gesna began to curl up on the bed. He who can't sleep all night begins to get tired. Let him banged on the door and called repeatedly. Just die him.

Gesna believed in Inspiration. Gesna believed in Inspiration. Gesna believes more in friends who are not happy together than strangers who suddenly behave sweetly illogically.

Everything that Inspiration tells sounds reasonable. Ilham said, he had heard Adit laughing with Bara while saying that Gesna needed a Prince. Not only that. The most answer to all the questions why Adit suddenly came to his house was the bet. The bet that Ilham heard after the guy opened the car door while Riko and Guntur washed the drunken body of Gesna. 

Gesna trying to match the time. It's true, Adit's been getting weird ever since that day. The guy was aggressively approaching, calling him, sending messages, taking the road until he came home.

Inspiration also swore many times to carry the name of God if all he heard and said was true. Darling, back then, who heard only Ilham himself so Ilham chose silence and observed Adit's attitude to Gesna. 

Trying to relieve the chest that feels like it will break, Gesna moaned. May Adit deliberately give flowers in front of everyone in order to be in the spotlight? So that it's a hot gossip of a school? So that we can gain mass? Then quickly, the guy must have decided on her. Embarrassed him by telling everyone that their courtship was just a bet. 

Gesna's getting cowering. Fortunately, he knew faster. Before being embarrassed a second time in front of all the school students. It is inconceivable if he is already proud of his relationship with Adit, it turns out that the guy is just playing with his feelings. Bajngan has no heart! Feeling handsome so that he thought that all the girls would be weak in front of him. Even a handsome guy can't be handsome. The face of God's grace, later if God is angry, the face can be made damaged in the near future. If the face has been damaged, even as the ground, where to say handsome?

The door of the house was opened, and it seemed that Gustav had gone home. Thank goodness his brother did not see the drama of one act because Adit's bike was gone. Otherwise, it's called Adit giving himself up. Because of Gustav's shortcomings and busy lives, the guy will still be a reliable brother.

"Ge.." call Gustav from behind the door. "Well eat?"

Gesna turned towards the door that had been opened. He nodded, forgetting that he had not eaten. Food becomes unimportant when the desire to beat people's heads more blazing. 

"Gue take the pizza downstairs." Gustavo panted for a while and walked to the room next to Gesna's.

Gesna. Why don't they just take them up the pizza, and then they eat in the middle of the second floor? Trying to get rid of the sluggishness and unresolved emotions, Gesna went down to the dinner table.

Before long, Gesna's body froze. His move compromised to turn around. God fucking. Gesna should have known why Gustav had sent him down. He should have remembered that Adit had Gustav's number and they must have communicated. 

"Non." Adit caught his hand immediately. "Listen to me, please. If you don't believe me, let's find it at home. The guitar doesn't exist."

"Lo think I'm being told off? Yes, you are safe first. Stored Bara or kept in Bang Miko's room." Gesna pushed Adit's body and took off the grip on his hand. "Don't you dare touch me or I'll make sure you rob!"

The man blocked the steps of Gesna who was about to go up the stairs. "Oath to God, No. Come on, let's go to Bara's house, to Miko's room. Nothing, Nope. I was wrong for breeding but the bet was not really so," explained Adit with a resigned gaze.

"Not bring God to do what is like a devil. The edge!" drive Gesna away, but the guy's still blocking the way. Gesna's head was already throbbing violently, the hunger mixed with the emotions that were stirring.

"Can't be the edge anyway lo! Why are you still here?! Get there!" his spray while tracking his waist. Gesna's eyes searched for items around that could be thrown at Adit. There are only sofas, dining chairs and pizza. Everything is impossible to throw, let alone pizza. 

"Wait for what else?! Unplug you, unplug it!"

"Gee! No need to scream, this is not a forest!" Gustav who was standing on the second-floor barrier turned his head downwards. "It told me. You hear her explanation first. Don't use emotions why? Huge just lo, I want to do the job, nih."

Gesna's eyes squeaked, knowing a losing move. Adit was approaching Gustav faster than expected. Very cute this guy. 

"Not to be clear, I have ears," he said quickly by raising his index finger, pointing towards the door of the house. "Back there."

"You're sorry about me, aren't you?" hiss Adit with a hopeful face that is somehow fake, whether setting.

Gesna developed a smile next door, looking at Adit with a scornful look. "If all is done with an apology, the Middle East has been peaceful for a long time. Stop lo! My empet saw it."

After removing Adit from the front, Gesna's feet immediately stepped up. From today on, it seems like he should be on guard at all times including at home himself.
