From Dhara To Dery
Why come near me?
Since the perpetrators of the damage to the library have been revealed, Dhara does not need to be was-was again. Because ever since he was slandered, many schoolgirls are always sneering and he was almost bullied because of it. Now all the students were silent when they found out that Dhara was not the culprit.
Dhara walked down the crowded corridor, all eyes bowed at him. If yesterday they were roaring, now they just shut up and smile bitterly at Dhara.
"For Rara" said one of her classmates.
"Morning.." replied Dhara with a sweet smile.
They think Dhara will be angry at what they have done to Dhara. But unfortunately Andhara is not that kind of person. Despite all the accusations and insults they made the other day made his heart ache but Andhara will forgive them.
At that time Hendery just looked at him from afar and smiled a little.
"Why does big brother smile look at him?" Lia asked, making Hendery immediately look the other way.
"He who?" Ask Hendery again.
"Pura - I don't see it or what?"
"Don't look." replied Hendery ketus.
"She's the girl who took the mandarin class yesterday, right?" Ask Lia again.
"Who?" Ask Hendery.
"The girl.." pointed at Andhara who had entered the class. Hendery glanced at him.
"Emm yeah"
"Today why don't you come home with me? That must be the girl, right?" Ask Lia jealous.
"The first question is rhino for a certain reason and the second question he asked he learned hanzi" explained Hendery.
"Isn't teacher zhang his uncle? He could learn from Zhang's teacher"
"It's Andhara, right?" Ask Lia again.
This time hendery was really upset when there was someone who was so curious about his closeness to others.
This is Hendery's neighbor. They are only two years apart. Their parents are very close. From childhood Hendery has become the adoptive brother of Lia, because Lia is the only child in her family and from childhood Lia has been entrusted to the Hendery family because her parents are busy going out of the country for business.
It was Hendery's parents who took on the role of surrogate parents for Lia. And it was Hendery who always accompanied Lia.
And Lia from childhood was comfortable being close to Hendery, and was always jealous when she saw Hendery close to others.
For example, when Hendery Junior High many girls who approached Hendery and Lia always keep Hendery not close to any girl at that time. Only Lia was always next to Hendery.
Hendery has a hard time having a girlfriend. You see, recently Lia had made Hendery break up with her boyfriend who was just four days dating. And Hendery didn't know that at all.
And today Lia continues to ask things - things that Hendery does not like are too kepo or curious about things related to Hendery.
Hendery looked at Lia with a lazy look.
"In the meantime the bell, I'm going in first" Hendery left Lia in the corridor.
Hendery also entered the class.
With bambang in the first lecture. This morning, Mr. Bambang called students who participated in the physics Olympics to start preparations. Because in about two weeks they will soon go to Bandung to follow the Olympics.
"Andhara, Adinata, Egan and Kay join my room "command Mr. Bambang.
They also came out of the class and went into the room of Mr. Bambang.
"My lesson will be continued by the substitute teacher well"
All the students seemed happy because the fierce Bambang sir did not teach them this morning.
...***...
Andhara and the others were already sitting neatly in the room. Followed by bambang and bu Riska.
The two teachers also explained what - what is likely to come out of the Olympics. Ms. Riska also shared a paper containing problems and formulas that they must complete.
"In the Olympics later you will be given about an hour well if it is not wrong to do all about - about that, about that, so I hope you can work together to understand - because well son" said Ms. Riska.
"Ah well. y'all there are four people, the task ntar divided. Two people have a number one to 50 questions and two more than 50 questions to a hundred questions" added bambang.
"Dad son, means one person gets 25 questions" continued Miss Riska again.
"Daddy buk.." they answered simultaneously.
"The time to discuss starts from now" exclaimed bambang.
They were immediately enthusiastic to take the problem paper given by Mr. Bambang and bu Riska.
"Gue is the same as Egan ngerjain number 50 to one hundred" Kay said.
"Oh okay means the same cave Dhara number 1 ampe 50 yah" said Hendery.
They nodded.
They also do all these things.
Dhara stared at the cynical kay that had determined the question that Dhara and Hendery would answer. It was very difficult and gave him a headache. But he kept working on it consistently.
"So you don't know, you can ask me" Hendery said.
"Dad..." Dhara smile.
Minutes by minutes passed, their heads began to dizzy with the problems - the problems that exist.
"Dhara is ready"
"Ehhh very much lo" said Kay
"Nih lo kerjain got me too" Kay gave some papers to Andhara.
Without protest Andhara also worked on it.
Once Andhara is ready, Hendery seems to be ready.
"Der.. please check it has Dhara yah.. if something is wrong said" Dhara gave a paper about what he had answered to Hendery who was sitting next to him.
Hendery nodded and took the paper. Hendery was quite amazed by the twenty-five questions Andhara had answered. Hendery did not find any fault in the paper. It seems that Hendery is a little amazed by Dhara's hard work.
The time used to do the problem is 10 minutes left, but they are ready to do it.
Mr. Bambang and Ms. Riska checked all their answers. And the two teachers were satisfied that the students managed to answer correctly.
Mr. Bambang also treat them to eat in the canteen.
.........
Because they are still a little tired because they have followed the Olympic preparations, Bambang as their homeroom teacher allowed them to rest again.
"Or Mr. Bambang if I'm still dizzy" Kay said.
"The question is quite difficult, but thankfully we can answer everything without any mistake" added Egan.
Dhara and Hendery just nodded and looked at each other.
Egan and Kay return to the cafeteria, leaving Andhara and Hendery both in the library.
This kind of atmosphere reminded Andhara the first time he and Hendery met.
"Der... rich de javu yah?"
"What is de javu?"
"The satisfaction" Dhara smiled looking at Hendery.
Hendery was immediately sensitive to what Dhara meant.
"Where's the hanzi?" Ask Hendery.
"Stay a little bit more"
"Three days..." Hendery reminded the girl.
"Daddy calm down. Anyway Dery is ready - ready to hear what Dhara's request later"
"Died up, right?"
Dhara looked at him cynically.
Hendery chuckled at Dhara's expression.
"What book is der?"
Hendery remained silent as he was focused on searching for books.
Dhara continued to follow him tirelessly even though Hendery was tired of seeing Dhara continue to follow him.
"Don't follow me" Hendery said.
"Why?" Ask Dhara.
"Lo not tired of following me? I'm tired of seeing you" Hendery said.
Andhara just smiled.
"Not really..."
"Mending lo read the physics formula, make the Olympics later..." Hendery thrusts a thick book of packages in front of Andhara.
"Dhara has read this book..."
Hendery looked at Dhara with an annoyed look and went back to looking for a book.
Dhara standing beside Hendery, Dhara also followed the search for books.
"Dery can ask you something?" Dhara asked without looking at Dery who was beside him.
"Ask what?" Reply Hendery.
"May or not?"
Hendery turned to Dhara.
"Can... ask what?"
"Hendery has a girlfriend?"
The question made Hendery speechless and stopped his activity searching for books. Dhara who realized that Hendery was looking at him also looked at Hendery.
"Don't see Dhara is rich in Hendery. Hendery's gaze also has its own meaning for Dhara"
"What does it mean?"
"The meaning is as interested as it is Dhara"
Hendery looked the other way.
"Gue is not easy to be attracted to someone" Hendery said.
"Yaudah if you answer Dhara's question first..."
"Which one?" Hendery pura - pura not remember.
"Hendery has a boyfriend or not?" Ask Dhara patiently.
"Udah"
"What time?" Tanya Dhara did not believe it.
"Why do I have a boyfriend or not?"
"Yes if you do not have Dhara want to be his girlfriend Hendery.well if you already have Dhara will wait until Dery broke up from Dery's girlfriend" replied Dhara very innocently.
Hendery breathed a long breath. How could there be a girl like this Dayana Andhara. The girl who sometimes looks mature and assertive is now so innocent and innocent in front of him. There are two personalities in Andhara.
"Gue won't break up from him." insisted Hendery.
"If so Dhara will prove to Hendery how sincerely Dhara loves Hendery "
Hendery was surprised he wasn't playing. So the story is that he was shot by a girl?? But Dhara's statement seemed - if Hendery already knew Dhara's feelings for him. Hendery blinked his eyes several times in disbelief as he had just heard.
"Hendery is silent? Wh why?? Must be impressed with Dhara?"
Hendery is still silent, Hendery thinks that the girl in front of him is working on him or is there a hidden camera here or he is in a reality show The trap is complete. Hendery is still pulling guys...
Without answering Andhara's question, Hendery walked backwards and ran out of the library.
"Ehhh Deryy??? How do you run anyway??"
"What did I say wrong? Is it too late?" Dhara smacked his forehead with the palm of his hand.
...***...
Andhara went straight to her mandarin class. There was Hendery sitting at the teacher's desk.
Dhara sat in his chair while staring at Hendery who was focusing on reading books.
Dhara opened his bag and read a Mandarin book.
After all the students came, Hendery opened his class formally.
They started discussing new material.
As usual, this makes Dhara feel very bored. But because of his feelings for Hendery inevitably he had to pay attention to it. Hendery, who is teaching, realizes that Dhara is bored and continues to yawn several times.
But Hendery continued with the material.
Two hours passed, the lesson was over. All the disciples gathered the tasks given by Hendery and as usual Dhara was always in the last order of task collection. Hendery happily remained waiting for him and for the second time Hendery refused Lia's invitation to go home together.
Irritatedly, Lia left the class and stared cynically at Dhara, who was focused on doing the task.
The atmosphere of the class became quiet as all the students had already gone home.
Though the material this time Hendery just told to make a poem, but he did not expect that Dhara will do it all this time. Maybe because he can't write a sentence? Hendery tried to think positive.
"It's hard, yeah?" Tabya Hendery broke the silence.
"Lumayan.." replied Dhara without looking ahead.
"And I told you to do a short poem. The others are ready why aren't you?" Ask Hendery again.
"The poem must be good, right? I want to impress you with the work I do"
Hendery recalled the events in the library.
"You want to shoot me with a mandarin poem ?"
Andhara who was in focus now stopped writing and digesting Hendery's words well.
What the hell does this mean? Why arrived - suddenly the man in front of him suddenly knew the contents of his mind.
"Kok quiet?? Wh why? My question is yes?" Ask Hendery again.
Dhara remained silent and tried to focus on writing.
Hendery chuckles.
"Since I moved to WIRYA High School I observed it as if you are trying to keep me fed.... why?" Tanya Hendery approached Dhara's desk.
"Why approach me?" Ask Hendery again.
"If I say I like it? "
"Love me the reason" Hendery asked.
"If you don't have one?"
"It must have"
Dhara is not flinching. He even looked out the window. I saw the rain start to fall.
"Like the weather this afternoon, when there was no sign of rain, but he came, is that to blame? That's God's plan. Just like how I feel, I don't know why...But maybe that's part of God's plan"
...***...
Just like Hendery who does not like the rain, Hendery also does not like anyone at this time. But it is impossible that he is not interested in a beautiful and smart girl like Andhara. It's just that Hendery isn't ready to open his heart to anyone.
And just as Hendery was always caught in the rain it was impossible if Hendery continued to avoid the desires set by God. Inevitably Hendery had to provide a raincoat to get through it all. Just like today, Hendery keeps asking - why should Andhara???
For Hendery, Andhara is a rain grain that greatly interferes with its activities. It's very noisy to hear.
But even so, Hendery still listened to him.
One day Hendery will surely feel that the sound of rain is very comfortable to hear. And also Dayana Andhara.
