From Dinta

15

After a few days since the incident that night Arkan did show his seriousness to try to get Shanum. And painfully I tried to make that happen for Arkan by helping them get close.

Shanum, who seemed to be aware that Arkan was approaching him, was delighted and accepted Arkan. Sometimes he also asked me about the person of Arkan and I patiently answered him correctly. I still think it's okay because Arkan is still there for me even though I know there's no place for me in his heart.

As usual this morning I left with Arkan and until school I was escorted to class but this time it was not so I was okay but because Arkan wanted to meet Shanum and greet him and had some morning is like that. And honestly, I really can't see it all.

Not just in the morning but also in the break they will always meet because Shanum is always with me and Niana wherever I go.

This afternoon after school I knew Arkan was going to basketball practice first and like always I would be waiting for him because I was going home together.

At about 5pm I went to the gate to wait for Arkan. Long enough I waited until I finally saw Arkan on his bike but he brought someone else and it was Shanum

Several times I breathed my breath trying to look calm with this situation but it seems that I can't but I have to, until finally Arkan stopped with his bike in front of me.

"lho? Dinta hasn't come home yet?" Ask innocently when he already knows every time he practices basketball first I will wait because I will go home together.

"Not Ar"

"It's not taa..."

"Bet you go home with Arkan?" Shanum asked directly cutting out Arkan's words.

"No, I'm waiting for it's my invitation again" I replied trying to calm down.

"Lied ya? Ar you're the same Dinta I can take a taxi" Shanum said.

"Eh no, seriously already there Ar anterin Shanum aja, I've picked this up on the road ko" I replied.

"Well, does anyone really pick you up? If there's no you wait here, I anterin Shanum used to keep me back again. I guess ta.." he said.

"Seriously Arkan I've been picked up, I'm picked up by Dad this time, seriously dehan I don't want to bother you anyway" my god to Arkan made her smile happily and my heart ached more and more with Arkan's happy smile.

"Dintaaaa" said Arkan.

"There go" I said.

"Absolutely gakpp?" Shanum asked, I know he feels guilty, but I care more about Arkan looking happy than anything.

"Yes, Shanum, let's go home in the afternoon"

"If you've heard it" said Arkan and I nodded.

"First it's Din" said Shanum and I nodded and waved my hand then they left me with all the real pain.

I got down from the angkot which brought me to the entrance to my housing complex and with tired steps I walked towards my house.

When I got to the door I heard loud voices from inside. Yes, they were fighting as usual. I breathed out tired of all that. I pulled out my phone and sent Bi Nani a message that I was going to stay at Niana's house because of an assignment.

I immediately turned around and walked towards the main road back with no definite purpose. Until I stopped the taxi and said Niana's home address.

When I got there I knocked on the door and Niana came out and I hugged her and cried.

"I want to stay here, yeah" I said and Niana nodded and took me inside.

At Niana's house there was no one there was only him and his two aides. Both of his parents only returned occasionally from Bandung because Niana was actually Bandung people but he himself wanted to go to school in Jakarta since Junior High. He said that when Niana Junior High was with his grandmother but when he first entered High School his grandmother died and from that time on he only lived alone with his two aides.

After everything was done, from the start I took a shower to change my clothes and dinner at that time I was in Niana's room with her.

"So what exactly happened?" Ask Niana.

"I don't want to be home anymore, it's normal" I said

"Biantem?" Tanya Niana who is a little more she knows even though we only know when we first entered High School not since Junior High School.

I nodded at Niana's question and she sincerely hugged me.

"Patiently, Din, I'm sure everything will pass quickly" he said.

"Thanks Ann" I replied.

"Sama-sama Din, the photo starts now if you do not want to be at home you just come here. You know for a fact that I'm here with only two of my helpers." He said and I nodded.

Early in the morning Arkan called me asking if I should pick me up or not at Niana's house and I said no and said until I met at school and he agreed.

I saw Arkan standing in front of my class. I kept walking with a smile like him.

"Gue Denger-denger there is a sudden nginep yah Ann?" Ask Niana. Because since last night Arkan knew I was staying at Niana's house and when he asked "tumben? What was? You why?" I just answered that it was okay then quickly switched the conversation to something else.

"Yes, even though it was not asked, the jailangkung cake came not asked but I came home anterin deh later" said Niana.

"What the hell" I said.

"Judah I went to class first, see you at Din's break" Arkan said.

"Yes. Btw Shanum hasn't come yet, why the rush?" I asked half tease the rest was upset.

"What is the Din, pdkt nggk as often, because I look so good cake well, so do not want ah, pokonya know-tau I same Shanum married aja deh" he said it made my heart break just like hearing it. But even so I kept smiling in response to what Arkan said.

"Lebay ah Lo" commented Niana.

"Judah I went to class first" he said and left after me and Niana who nodded.

"Si Arkan is seriously going to Shanum" asked Niana as she walked to class.

"I don't know" I replied.

"What time?"

"Udah deh Ann we do not need to interfere in people's affairs" I replied coldly and at that time probably made Niana confused.
