Genatans

HANDKERCHIEF

As simple as a handkerchief, able to describe happiness, with a heart that thumped uncharacteristically.

***

Being in a crowd of people, but there are no friends in it, of course it will feel different. And so did Resha. Eating alone amid the large number of people in the canteen, Resha felt lonely. In his heart he cursed. Delia lives in her hometown. Didn't you know that here Resha is hanging like a child who lost her mother? Resha sighed. Back to feed a spoonful of fried rice to his mouth.

"Other times I go to the cafeteria, Res. I also do not have temen ngantin, nih,” said a voice that is now beside Resha.

Resha who was chewing fried rice suddenly looked up. Found a pretty girl with a shoulder-length hair carrying a canned drink. Lydia sat her body in front of Resha. Resha swallowed the fried rice in her mouth, then sipped some iced tea. "Usually you rarely go to the canteen, Lid. That's why I was a bablas. Sorry, yes" he said with a slight grin.

Lydia nodded. "Yes, not papa. I see that you don't have Delia as lonely as you are, Res," said Lidia. Resha exhaled while nodding her head.

"Yes, my soulmate is not going to school anymore" he said.

Lydia laughs. "Ah, could you. If Delia hasn't been to school, I'm the same. I also don't have a friend."

Resha could hear the sad tone of Lydia's speech just now. The girl could feel how this class leader in front of her felt. Resha's hand moved to rub Lydia's shoulder. As if channeling calmness through his strokes. "Gue same Delia always welcome whenever you want to join us. We do not distinguish friends. Moreover, you are a good person," said Resha sincerely.

Lydia smiled smirkingly. "Gue bummer, Res. The proof is that the kids in class don't like me. He said, I'm pretty good, gini, that's it. But it is my duty to treat them. Take care of them. Wrong, huh?" look at Lidia blankly at the cafeteria table. His grip on the canned drink was getting stronger.

"Lo is not wrong. Maybe they still don't understand. Okay, don't be sad. Usually fierce, suddenly sad gini, serem," kekeh Resha.

Lydia laughed just like that. In life, not everyone can capture the meaning that we really want to convey. Some people get it wrong and cause misunderstandings. Of course we can't beat everybody to understand what we're really saying. We cannot force, all we can do is lead them.

Same with Lydia. As the class president, he was ready from the beginning if some friends stayed away or denounced him. Some say it pretentious, look for face, and so on. Lydia is not fighting. The girl simply smiled faintly and took care of her ears.

The sound from the school's loudspeakers made Lydia cluck softly. The class leader is asked to gather now. The canned drinks haven't even run out. Resha who saw that was also confused. In the end all he did was smile and cheer up his friend.

"Country work, here. First, yes, Res," said Lydia as she passed from before Resha.

Resha chuckles. The girl brandished both her clenched hands as if encouraging. After Lidia disappeared from his sight, Resha shook her head slowly.

Maybe if he was in Lydia's position, he wouldn't be strong. Sudden calls suddenly, still denounced the class children anyway. In Resha's heart prayed, may Lydia always be well and given more patience.

"Well eat alone, looks like a singles, nih." Resha blinked as soon as the typical male voice sounded close.

The place that Lidia had originally occupied, had now changed a man. The man was smiling so much that he showed a row of white teeth.

Gentala, the man was the one who met him a few days ago.

"Sister Ta?" call Resha in doubt.

Gentala pursed her lips at Resha's call to her, "Call me Genta, Res. Don't be like that, like a girl," the protest did not accept if it had to be called Tata, he said,

Resha scratched her cheek awkwardly. "Kak Ta means Kak Genta. If called complete extension, called Kak Gen is also strange," he explained.

Gentala snapped her fingers. "What if the letter n is missing. Call Kak Ge. More uwu, right?" gentala proposed by playing his eyebrows.

Resha raised both eyebrows. What say? Brother Ge? That's a call to Genathan. How can you name two different people with the same name. Resha. "Udah Uwu Kak Ta. Kak Ge is like Kak Genathan who is called Gege."

Gentala sighed and nodded faintly. That guy's chirping. "Yes, really, too. Kayak the Gege. Okay, how about you call me sweetheart?" he threw it away with a chuckle.

Seeing the look on Gentala's face that actually looks funny, can not make Resha to hold her laugh. "Well, are you starting to turn into a cardboard kang, brother? I am aduin Girl, nih, her brother wants to be a playboy," said Resha by squinting her eyes threatening the man in front of her.

"No. Forgive me for bringing a girl. I'll budge him if he nagged," Gentala refused by shaking his head. The guy's massaging the base of his nose.

Gentala is a pleasant figure. The car was friendly and relaxed. Black-brown eye irises sparkling warm, able to make anyone bewitched. But for Resha, the twinkle of the most reddening eye belongs to Genathan.

"Lo don't want to go back to class, Res? Let me anter to class," bargained Gentala as soon as I saw Resha's plate was clean of food.

"Gue all back to class. Come on, bye." Gentala stood up and held Resha's right hand. The guy pulled her slowly making Resha stand up.

"Don't pull, brother," said Resha, releasing her hand from Gentala.

Gentala nodded while rubbing Resha's hand that she had just pulled. "Yes, sorry, yeah."

Resha just nodded. Next, they both walked together. The gentala was babbling about a lot of things, while Resha was silently listening. This guy never runs out of topics.

Everything can be discussed by Genta. Starting from his cat who came home always in a state of bunting, until the news of love location between Mr. Rusdi—guru economy with Mbak Dini the canteen keeper. Too cool to listen to the ravings of Gentala, unconscious Resha hit the person who walked in front of him. Not entirely wrong Resha, because the guy also stopped suddenly in front of her.

Damn, because the small collision made a splash of water from the cup that the boy carried exposed Resha's body. Reflexes, Resha complained quietly.

"Ge, if you walk carefully. Everyone you hit on the road" said Gentala.

"Sorry."

That sound. All this time, he had only heard that voice from afar. Now, his voice sounded so clear in Resha's ears.

Of course Resha knows this voice. Genathan, the man he idolized long ago.

"Dec, isn't papa?"

Resha wanted to make a sound, but like something stuck in her throat until finally the girl could only shut up.

"Res? You're not papa, are you?" Gentala also voiced Resha.

Resha was still down even though she really wanted to see the handsome face of Genathan.Gadis was widened when something greeted his right arm. Hesitating, he looked up. Seriously, it felt like Resha wanted to squeal when she found out that Genathan was painstakingly wiping Resha's right hand using a blue handkerchief.

"Sorry, his hands get wet because of the splash of my drink," he said still cleaning Resa's hands with a handkerchief.

Resha was silent. As if his body was petrified, he could not say a word. The girl was bewitched with Genathan's very sweet demeanor. Deheman of Gentala made Resha flinch. Genathan took his hand off Resha's arm. Resha's heartbeat is now beating so fast, struggling to get out of place.

"Remember, Ge, if the road be careful," Gentala again rebuked, reminding his friend.

Genathan smiled slightly and nodded as he said, "Yes."

Next, Genathan's gaze stopped on Resha. The guy handed his handkerchief in front of Resha. "Bring first" he asked slowly.

Swish slowly back Resha feel. Moreover, when Genathan held his hand and opened his palm.

The guy put a blue handkerchief over Resha's palm and said, "Sorry, Deck, I didn't accidentally. Handkerchief save first."
