First Love "In April"
CLAPPING ONE HAND
" bey Rii. be careful yaa". cried Lila as she waved her hand.
I just turned my head for a while and looked down embarrassed to hear Lila's loud scream.
" your rich friends are cool yes Rii" said Raidil while driving his motorcycle.
" he em" I replied briefly.
then I shut up all the way with my heart which I thought had come off.
" your house where is Ri? asked Raidil by swallowing the speed of the motor.
" Ahmad Wongso street, lotus housing" I said.
" ahh yes" he replied, nodding.
I went back to silence without a word enjoying every second with Raidil on the bike "this is the first and maybe the last" I said in my heart.
Every now and then the body came close unintentionally to the back of Raidil because of the pounding on the road and every time it happened I felt the heart startling.
" we came here first" said Raidil turned his bike and parked in a pharmacy yard.
" what's wrong?" ask me while down and immediately walk towards a chair not far from the Raidil motor park.
Raidil just smiled answering my question. He left me to go into the pharmacy and came out with a package with medicine inside,
" nih.." said Raidil while thrusting the parcel.
"what?" I greeted him with a questioning face.
" medicine for you, make dizzy in your head" he replied.
" you don't have to bother Dil, it's not a serious thing" said I felt uncomfortable.
" is he always like this" I asked in my heart.
" it's okay Rii, I'm really not good" he said.
After that I just kept quiet and nodded.
" just a minute" said Raidil.
" what else does she want ?" ask me in my heart.
Raidil ran across the street to the small shop.
" what the hell is he doing?" ask me in my heart.
Shortly after that Raidil came out with two drinks in his hand and walked back towards me.
" want Vanilla or Avocado?" ask Raidil to me.
" Avocado" I replied as I took the drink out of his hand.
" is your head still heavy, Rii?" her question came back while staring at me which made me indirectly turn my face so that our gaze did not meet.
" it's still, but it's been less than the one at school "my answer was short.
" sorry" he said.
" it's Dil, from now on you continue to apologize" I said.
" my head is still in its place" I added.
Raidil laughed thinly while sipping his drink,
" You can be funny too Rii" he said with a smile to make me go back wrong.
" who was in front of the gate was your girlfriend or your bully Ri?" ask Raidil.
" boyfriend? Who's who?? Faiz's brother?" I said surprised.
" no... I don't have a boyfriend" I added casually.
" anyways I'm not good with you, not her to send your boyfriend home, even send me" I said as I looked away.
" Friend? Who?" ask her while smiling thinly.
" it was you yourself who said you had a boyfriend, every time you go home from school you screwed "my answer began to relax.
" Claard you mean?" her word.
" well that's the name" I said as I stirred up my drink.
" hahahahaha" Raidil's laughter shocked me.
" you think Clara's sister is my boyfriend" ledek Raidil.
I just kept quiet and still stared at Raidil who was laughing loosely.
" Ri.ri. sister Clara is my cousin" she replied, which made me surprised again.
" so that's my cousin" I said in my heart while smiling occasionally. "but that doesn't change anything, still Raidil has a girlfriend" I added in my heart.
" hhh you have a boyfriend" I said to Raidil.
"what the hell... Not it" she said.
I turned towards Raidil and confirmed his speech with a puzzled face,
" time of Caca..." I haven't finished my words, yet,
" ahhh. That's bullshit, I don't like the same aggressive nature of Caca" he said.
" if I refuse for no reason, he will definitely not give up" he explained.
I fell silent with a faint smile on my back to Raidil, "yes.. I can continue the love clapping my hands" I said in my heart with excitement.
" let's go Rii. " said Raidil standing up.
" He.em" I said from behind Raidil.
***
The pain in my head went away just like hearing what Raidil said just now.
And it feels more relieved I can love Raidil without having to worry about anything, I don't even expect Raidil to know my heart and repay him,
enough I love him that's enough for me.
" Rii which one is your home?" ask Raidil who broke my daydream.
" ahh, keep straight, my house goes in that way" I replied, pointing to the end of the road.
" come in" he asked again.
" yes" I said briefly.
I while making a wander from behind Raidil's shoulders watched the road to get ready to stop Raidil.
" stop" I said while accidentally patting Raidil on the shoulder.
Raidil stepped on his brakes as if he was surprised by my claps.
" was nyampe?" ask her slowly.
" this is my house" I replied as I got off the Raidil's motorbike.
" aaa.. this one" he said as he glanced at my house.
" let's go in" take me.
" don't do it, I'll just go home" she replied.
" loh.. stop by first "take me back.
" loh Ri has come home? Same who?" ask the father who suddenly came out of the house.
"Assalamualaikum om" said Raidil.
" yes well Riri came home in between the cement" said I who was still standing in front of the gate of my house.
" earlier Riri was not feeling well, so I let him go without her for a long time" Raidil explained.
"what's your name?" ask Dad.
" Raidil om".
" Riri so ngerepotin you, thank you" said Dad.
" ah no negerepotin kok om" said Raidil.
" that's why I want to say goodbye first" he added.
" Don't go in first" said Dad.
I just stood by Dad.
" anytime, Ri go home first" Raidil said as he turned his bike.
" Ahh yes be careful and thank you Dil" I said.
" Assalamualaikum" he said.
Raidil passed away my house, my house,
my eyes were still glancing towards Raidil's back which was further away from my sight until at the end of it he completely disappeared at the crossroads.
" Rii. don't go in" cried Dad from the door.
" ahh yes "I entered while running small.
Her taste was enough for today, chance after opportunity came to me without me noticing.
