Anggita pecked in front of the gate of his house, letting the morning air gust repeatedly caress him. Look at his sharp eyes. Both of his hands were tightly clenched. He stared at Rangga who was in front of him while kicking a small pebble, putting both hands into his gray pants pocket. The cynical smile that unraveled on her lips made Anggita repeatedly close her eyes deeply.
"What do you want, Rang?" his tan half held back the voice, though anger hunted down his heart.
Rangga smiled again, "I want you to be my girlfriend! That's aja!"
Suppose he breathes out loud, "i can't!"
"Because you are the same Gilar dating?"
"I'm the same she's not dating!"
"Oh, yeah? Then what was the malem he was hanging out with his premenes here? Huh!"
"Where do I know! It's his business, it's none of my business!"
Rangga stepped his feet closer to Anggita who did not twitch in the slightest. Lekat looked sharply at Rangga with a growl.
"I'm not a fool, Ta! You know why he suddenly hangs out here. Especially if it's not for you!"
"If it's because of me, what do you want? Huh!"
"You forgot? You said you yourself would never date anyone. But in fact, what? You're the same Gilar dating!"
"I'm not dating him!"
Anggita pushed Rangga's body away from her. He stepped foot as quickly as possible, but Rangga managed to compensate. The man stood right in front of her back, touching Anggita's shoulders until she was restrained.
"Don't deket the same Gilar again! Or he I made DO from school!"
Anggita tried to break away, but Rangga held her shoulder tightly. The two looked at each other.
"You're not sane, Rangga!"
"That's because you rejected me! You're supposed to be my girlfriend, Ta!" shouted Rangga beaver up Anggita shoulder he advanced back mercilessly.
I thought we were frowning in pain. His eyes began to water but as hard as he could bear, just put on an increasingly windy face.
"Please, Rangga..," said Anggita in a soft voice, "get rid of me! Stop asking me to be your girlfriend in this way. You make me hate you even more! Know it?" anggita's voice shook making Rangga slowly release both hands.
The man shuffled back and found Anggita's face covered in tears.
"Don't cry!" yelled Rangga later.
I thought we were getting unable to hold back his tears. He sobbed loudly.
"Until any time, I'll never like a possessive guy like you! So powerful!" Anggita re-opened her voice even though her tears continued to flow.
"Make me, you're nothing more than a coward! It's just because you're the son of Principal Marga High School!"
Anggita set foot past the pecking Rangga, his mouth slightly gaping, and his eyes were blank. The girl ran as fast as she could while wiping her tears continuously coming out. Until arriving in the bus, Anggita hugged her bag. Crying behind it. Clasping his own hand tightly.

A thin-haired man, dressed in a black-and-white color box, stood in the middle of the classroom among the silence of the students who were looking towards him. His eyes circled around, probing closely, ending with a nod and a perfectly fluffy smile.
"okay! Today all of your students are present! Including Gilar!" he opened his voice at the end of his gaze which was fixed on Gilar.
The man who had been looking at him expressionlessly suddenly smiled. The gaze of the other students was suddenly drawn to him.
"Eh. Yes, sir," said Gilar timidly.
"Next week we begin our final semester exam. Doesn't feel well, it's been a year since I became your Class Guardian. Mostly trouble!"
The sound of laughter echoed as his last sentence was emphasized so clearly, as he looked towards Gilar.
"Alhamdulillaah, the more changes there are. Certainly in a better direction. Especially Gilar who is usually diligent in skipping school, during this half semester you changed a lot! I am proud of you! Keep it up until graduation! Remember that!"
The clap he set later, making the entire room echo the clap, except Rangga who chose to remain silent.
"For next week's exams, especially the subjects you teach, Chemistry. I just sent you a message so you can practice more questions from books. You won't tell me about the hard stuff, it's all in the book if you want to try to work harder. For other subjects, I hope you follow the advice of the teachers. Don't leha-leha! Don't be lazy!
You can just hang out, play Mobile Legend games, watch movies, but don't forget too. Your teenage years should be filled with useful things. Follow extracurricular for example, enter the organization OSIS if you can, join the Olympic event if you are interested, try all! Don't minder! Don't be lazy!
In the next 5 years, among you there may be college, work, study abroad, or so youtuber for example. But, we, the teachers, will remain in this school as teachers. We can't grow like you guys are young. Our profession as teachers has been our final journey during our youth. And your task from now on is to keep growing, keep progressing, keep learning, keep working hard to achieve your goals. You can't be lazy!
Lastly, I want to apologize to you. If during the time you become the Guardian of your Class, you scream a lot and get angry. Especially to you, Gilar."
The students were suddenly bowed, yet there were also those who still lingered watching his Class Guardians speak. Including Gilar who returned to smile embarrassed when his name was mentioned again.
"For others, too, I apologize if so far I have many shortcomings, either in guiding you as the Guardian of the Classroom or as a Chemistry teacher."
The spies who were still looking at him were full of glare.
"Well! Now we're a daily replay!"
"Ohhhhh!!!" the students in unison.

Anggita and Gladis clutch their arms together, both walking side by side on the Dawn ekori behind him.
"You're like lesbians!" exclaiming Dawn while shivering in horror.
The two girls just smiled. Keep your feet up to the canteen. After ordering the meatballs, the three sat together. Anggita and Gladis sat side by side, while Fajar sat opposite them.
"Fuck dong story!" Gladis tugged at Anggita's arm to make the body of the girl who tied her hair single sway.
"Yes! I'm curious too. Did Gilar come to your house?" sela Fajar chimed in.
Aggita and a smile are the answer.
"Certainly? Continues to? She shot?" Gladis is impatient.
Anggita shook her head but kept smiling.
"Why did he go to your house?" Curious dawn.
"Chat ahead of the gate!" Answer Anggita relaxed.
The arrival of Bi Minah who delivered their order meatballs paused the chat for a moment. In the shave of sweet tea in front of Anggita greedily. However, Gladis and Rangga were still waiting for the story to continue.
"It's just talking!" Sela Gladis doesn't believe it.
"Ogah ah nyeritain others. Make bad mood know!" Believed complaining.
"Emang just talking. He asked me not to leave the house semalem." Anggita.
"Well! There are smells about Rangga. Through the passing. Get to the good stuff again!" Gladis.
"It's good to just sit there. But, our conversation is crisp anyway. But, make me feel how it is," Anggita said later.
"Cieeh.... So, let's go make it!" dolok Dawn.
"I don't think I can."
"Why can't you? Maybe a few times, Ta!"
Assume just smiling. Choosing to end the conversation by devouring the meatball. He remembers very well the threat of Rangga if he is dating another man. He had imagined what consequences would be borne by the man who dared to be his girlfriend since last night. The quarrel between Gilar and Rangga that he could only see through the window of his room. Although he did not find any scars on Rangga and Gilar's face, he was even more unsettled. Rangga really did not mess with his threat. He really does not want Anggita dating any man other than himself. Even Gilar who is clearly not his girlfriend should get a result of the closeness of the two. Rangga's threat will keep Gilar in DO from the school ringing all night. Although this morning he had vent his anger when Rangga voluntarily came to him, it was not enough to give calm to Anggita.

Anggita terpangu noticed a man in blue batik clothes writing on the whiteboard pedestal. The girl tried to digest every word written in Hiragana letters. Although in addition to the word there is a translation in Indonesian, but Anggita tried to challenge himself to read it in Japanese. Even if only in the heart.
"Observing his teacher nyampe, Ta!" whispered Gilar as he elbowed his arm resting on the table.
Anggita turned towards him, "what the hell! Ngaco!" reply in the same voice quietly.
"Pak Reza is handsome, yeah! I am envious of her as well. Honey, there's one thing less than him." Said Gilar while looking at Mr. Reza who now chose to sit on the Teacher bench while looking at his laptop.
"What's the least?" ask Anggita curious.
"Jomblo, Ta!"
"Sok knows you! Maybe she has a boyfriend."
"But why not get married? Then he's single!"
"Marriage tea is easy on you!"
"And he became a teacher. Got a lot of money, Ta."
"New Honorary Master, Rangga...."
"Keep if he's an honorary teacher why is that? Trouble getting married soon?"
"Or, ah! That's his business! How to talk about him."
Gladis and Dawn who had noticed very well the words between the two only returned a smile to each other.
"Alhamdulillaah, Anggita many smiles today." Gladis half whispered to Dawn.
"Yes, Dis. Alhamdulillaah says. Even though I feel like someone is doing it anyway. I don't feel good!"
"Sok your fortune teller, Faj. Already! Come be happy to see them. Maybe they don't want to share the news that they're actually already."
Dawn looked at the smiling Anggita. Turning towards Gilar who was still asking him to speak. His head turned towards Rangga who was sitting far away in the corner of the classroom, looking towards Anggita and Gilar sharply. The dawn breathed a long breath. He's sure there was something going on between them last night that Anggita didn't tell him. However, he was not sure if it was good or bad. Seeing Anggita's smile that continuously expands, makes him feel the feeling of pleasure mixed with untitled pain. His lips he was forced to smile, though again his heart was turbulent in pain.
When the bell rang, Anggita refused to go home with Gladis and Dawn. He sat in the library with several other students who chose to spend time there. Several times he looked at the clock on his phone, glancing towards the entrance as if waiting for someone. Until finally Rangga entered the room. Angita. As much energy comforts him as the man sits beside him.
"What's wrong? Go straight, Rang. I want to get home!"
During Mr. Reza's subjects, Anggita gets a message from Rangga who invites him to meet under the pretext of making an agreement that he will not disturb him and Gilar again.
"Putusin Gilar!"
Anggita glared at him, "i told you he's not my girlfriend, Rangga!"
There was a rustling sound from inside the room. Suppose you choose to ignore even though you know that you do not have to be there. But only this place made it convenient to meet with Rangga just by himself.
"Then get away from him!"
I thought he looked at her sharply.
"If you stay away from him, don't sit with him anymore, or he doesn't dare to go back to your house, I promise I won't bother you!"
"What's wrong with me with Gilar, Ta? I'm just a normal human being who needs a lot of friends. Not isolating yourself just because of your unreasonable orders! Temen me in this school is just Gladis with Dawn. Is it wrong that I want to be Gilar's friend too? Huh!"
"You have become like the Dawn. He has proven that there is nothing to do with you other than your relationship. But---,"
"What do you mean? You banned Fajar from me?"
"I'm not done talking, Anggita!"
Anggita got up from his seat. Grab her bag and hold her.
"You're outrageous, Rangga! Now I know everybody's keeping me away! It's all because of you!" Angita.
"That's because you rejected me, Ta!"
"It has nothing to do with it! Doesn't make any sense! You're crazy, Rangga! It makes others unable to have friends. What kind of person can live without a presence? Huh! Just humans are insane! And I'm a normal human, Rangga!"
"It's for your own good, Ta. Men out there who want to fight the same you can be dangerous, right? I'm trying my best to protect the people I love!"
"Wrong, Rangga! Who can value someone well or not be my friend is not you, but myself! I have the right to be friends with anyone. And you have no right to make anyone friends with me! Wanna?"
"I have the right to forbid anyone who would be friends with you if that person was dangerous. Kayak the Gilar! He's a motorcycle boy! Thugs, Ta!"
"Whatever! It's my business with him! You have no right to interfere in my friendship. Because I will not hold anything accountable from you if Gilar is not good to be my friend. And one thing is for sure, the dangerous man to be my friend is just you, Rangga! Don't expect me to be your girlfriend. Make friends with you I don't want to! Catch that!"
Rangga. I choose to step outside the room. Walk quickly along with the satisfaction of having revealed all the fruits of his mind all this time. Hope Rangga understands and stop messing with his life. However, there was a sudden, tangled sense of guilt that led to Dawn. He never knew that his friend had to deal with Rangga. Worry erupted as the shadow of last night approached his head again. Anggita grabs her phone, looks for a contact named Rangga and calls the man.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Ta. What's up?" greet the voice of Dawn from across the street.
"Wa'alaikum salam. Where are you now?" tanya Anggita still keep her feet up.
"In the Teacher's room, Ta. Talk to our Class Guardians again. Why emang?"
"I'm new to the library. Go home with yuk! I wait in class. How's it?"
"Okay, Ta. But I sort out the business here first. It's okay?"
"It's okay. Just nyantai, Faj. Assalamu'alaikum!"
"Wa'alaikum hail!"
