I was left alone again. Timmy has gone home first to be picked up by his driver. Miwon had also just run through the field towards the gate without even looking at her head. He usually follows me until school.
While Hami was still in the mading room. Promise for a moment. But in fact luamaaa! Luckily, I was waiting under my favorite tree. Even if you don't use the mat as usual. Sitting back and closing my eyes made me feel more at peace. Free to be flown by wind wherever, huahhh....
“Afika,” I open my eyes as soon as possible. A well-built man who was often present in dream interludes, was now standing before me. Am I dreaming? I saw him start sitting next to me. I felt my chest start pounding.
“Ha... Hami, you know what? He was there,” I said. Ah, Edelweis. Why am I always dag-dig-dug near you. He took a long breath.
“He asked for help if he met you here, he asked you to go home first. She still has needs same Tara.”
“Oh,” that's all I can say. I'm out of words. Kupandangi Edelweis. Suddenly I didn't feel like going home fast. I would love to speak to Edelweis even if it is only a few words. The narrow-eyed man was looking down, pulling the grass in front of him. I didn't expect
he approached me. He's really not afraid of me. I know that Edelweis is different from everyone else. As before, Edelweis was friendly and kind.
“You know the meaning of my name?” I was surprised by the words that came out just now. He glanced at me. I'm shaking.
“Maybe... from the flower name?” I said guess. Then he smiled.
“Edelweiss. Plants are picked and will not wither in some time. Plants that are sometimes written eidelweis or in Javanese writing are called Javanese edelweiss. The flower is known as the perennial flower. Its Latin name is Anaphalis javanica. Plants are endemic to the alpina or montana zone in the high mountains of Indonesia. So I know from the quote definition.”
I was fascinated by all the words he said.
“A very beautiful name. Who gave that name?” askaku. Edelweis lowered his head again and pulled out the tiled roots. He seems angry. Did I ask the wrong thing? He long ago lowered his face.
“Myah. It used to be said to be a symbol of immortality and the sacrifice of love. As the symbol still survives and will not falter at any time like edelweis that still survive and never wither in cold temperatures.”
“Your father... it was great to choose that name. Very good,” my praise sincere.
“No also,” says Edelweis fast. Then she smiled at me again. I turned my face. I can't return her smile. He will be scared again. Although I really want to smile at him. But the expression on my face said something else. It must be more terrifying than I am
imagine it.
“If the meaning of your name?”
I'm rattled. I never asked my parents the meaning of my name.
“I... don't know,” I said honestly.
“Maybe it means a kind-hearted shy girl,” she said with a smile. I was surprised for a moment. Edelweis said so. Duh, my face is getting hotter. I don't know how to. I decided to shut up.
We also mute. Silent.
“Uhm, Mayang... Have you gone home yet?” I just melt the atmosphere. I remember Mayang talking to me about something. It was likely that he wanted to ask for an explanation about the incident earlier this afternoon. Whatever the problem is concerning Edelweis, surely Mayang will be included in it.
Sometimes I also want to have the courage that often appears on him. Being an aggressive girl that everyone likes. He was never afraid of anyone. Never even intermittently pursued the Edelweis he liked. Yes, in addition to other subject areas, Edelweis is also an ambition.
“Honey's been home from earlier. Why?” i gasp.
“Then I go home first. I've been waiting for the house guy. Bye.”
I got up and ran. There's no way I'm saying that Mayang is my cousin. Edelweiss cannot know. Especially the other guys. Because that's what Mayang wants. No one can know but just me, him and Hami.

Afika’s house (Honey back to home, disaster!)
Dear Diary's,
Miwon still follows me today. But after school he didn't follow me anymore. There's something strange about him. What happened in the cafeteria? After that in class, he died. I usually get my hands on. Now I'm the one who's being weird. Shouldn't I be smirking?
I was very happy when Timmy told me that he had just passed the audition and got the role of a side character to be one of the princess' palace ladies in the theater eskul. Prince's character has not been determined. I remembered that I had to practice the piano again for next week's musical recitation. Hopefully I can still practice.
About what happened this afternoon, I was very happy. Not surprisingly, he approached and chatted with me! I'm so happy! I hope next time we can talk a little longer, Ed... If only I hadn't hunted2 home. But I have to go home so that Mayang does not suspect. But it turns out Mayang still hasn't come home! I don't know where he's still dropping by. I don't want him to know that I've liked you for a long time, prince...
‘BRAAKKKK!!!!’
I was surprised to hear the door of the room. Mayang was standing in the doorway with disheveled hair and a shabby uniform like splashing mud water. His face was also covered in lipstick. His sobs blur. He immediately rushed towards me. I hugged Mayang tightly.
“Fikaaa.. big sister is so evil!” he screamed at sobs. I tried to calm him down. I closed the door and guided Mayang to sit on the bed. Luckily, my mom and dad went to my dad's wedding. It seems that Mayang's mood is not good.
“Who made you like gini?” I looked at Mayang deeply. Soon he stopped his crying. “Pull deep breath.”
Mayang immediately imitated what I said.
“After mading, I'm going to the toilet. In front of the toilet door, I saw Miss and
the two men were wearing lipstick in front of the glass. I accidentally heard their conversation. Kak Nona plans to go to the mading room to ask Ed to help her dance tango in the school birthday celebration competition tomorrow. Even if confirmed, Miss plans to use the practice time to approach Ed. Even plan to shoot Ed ahead of the last tango practice it.”
I'm termangu. There are many who have a crush on Edelweis.
“I know for sure Ed will agree to Miss's request. I'm flinching, Fik. I don't want Ed to help her. I don't want that old brother to succeed in Ed!” said emotion. I just rubbed his shoulders gently to calm him down.
“Means I immediately came to people and pushed him down. I'm raging, Fik. I even slapped her cheek, then beat her head in my shoes! But his friends are on the train. His two friends held my hands together and he slapped me back! He said I wasn't polite with my upperclassman. I don't care. I said that he was old, like an aunt
no selling, and decided to find brondong! He slapped me again and I smothered him with a mop. Keep me locked in the toilet at the very end,” sobs her crying again. I felt his sadness. I hugged Mayang tighter. How wicked they are as juniors.
“Thank you there is a pack of Juim just take a bucket of mops in the bathroom. Mr. Juim who slipped me, Fik.”
“Thank God, May. Then tomorrow we report to BK,” my proposal later. Mayang shook his head.
“No, justin ajah. It all started with me, Fik. I'm aware of it.”
“You sure?” ask me to repeat the thought of Mayang who looks still look shaky. But he kept nodding his head. “Yes, you wait a minute. I get water first,” I go straight out to the kitchen room.
