After graduating from elementary school, Dinda aspires to continue her schooling at the favorite Secondary School in the city of Yogya. Although counted far from where he lived, but the intention in his heart did not shrink his seriousness to still be able to go to school at the School he dreamed of.
By the time he arrived at school when he enrolled, he saw a young boy sitting on his back seat in the front seat of the registration room. His face was very innocent but handsome. He sat alone while bowing. His calmness was not disturbed even though many people passed by in front of him.
Dinda tried to approach him and intended to get acquainted with him. Nervous, Dinda tried to dare herself to greet the boy.
" Ahem.." Dinda cleared her throat while sitting next to Bary, the boy next to Dinda.
Bary didn't budge a bit. He also did not look at Dinda who tried to approach him. Dinda was confused. He felt awkward to say hello, let alone invite him to meet.
Dinda was silent for a moment while brushing her unraveling hair over her right eye. In his heart he dabbled what was the right word to get acquainted with the man beside him. He went back and started greeting Bary.
Never did she think, Bary left her when Dinda wanted to say hello. Dinda became upset and ran over to Bary.
" Hey.. Ye.. I want to meet you. My name is Dinda, what's your name?" dinda said as she reached out her right hand for Bary to shake his hand.
Bary just glanced at Dinda. His cold face seemed to be unhappy with Dinda's presence. He just passed by without caring about Dinda.
Dinda followed him back and asked his name. Bary then stopped his steps and turned towards Dinda.
" My name, Bary. Go awayl.. I don't have time to talk to you" Bary said, turning around and leaving Dinda.
"Eh, Bary.. What a cool name. Uh, you also enrolled in this school?" ask Dinda with a smile.
Unknowingly Dinda was smiling to herself while bary had left her again. Some people who saw him laughed at Dinda's behavior.
He realized that when a girl rebuked him.
" Hey.. He's gone, tuh. Why are you still smiling" said a woman named Arista.
" What's.. Uhh.. That kid really pisses me off! I want to greet him, meet him. But he just left." said Dinda while holding both cheeks that look reddened, because it held the shame.
" He's my classmate at the SD. He is a good boy and smart too. He's also handsome, he's a lot of fancies."
" Oh.so. You know a lot about him, right?"
" Yes, of course. Wh why? Are you curious about her?" arista said as he stroked Dinda's arm.
" ah.. What are you. No way. Uh, yes.. We have not yet known. Introduce, my name is Dinda." said Dinda and extended her hand to Arista.
" I'm Arista. I also enrolled in this school. You too, right?"
" yes.. I've been dreaming about it since obviously three SD. There was an older sister who told me that in this school there were so many great students. I want to be great too. That's why I enrolled in this school."
" same.. And it just so happened that my father became a teacher at this school. So, I must have escaped to this school" Arista said with a smile.
" Well.. It's good to have a Teacher's father. We can learn from him."
" Not really, Dinda. My dad was too busy. Morning to noon teaching. Coming home from school, he taught private English lessons. Returning from tutoring, he sold bakmi java in front of the Post Office until eleven p.m. So I rarely talk to him. Meet if it's morning at breakfast."
" Mending you, Rista. I just live alone at home. My parents live in Germany. When I go home, maybe two years. Not long here either. For a week, back to Germany again."
"Haah? You alone in your house, Din? Well, if I had been scared. Especially if you've seen a horror movie."
" I'm not scared. From a small age, I got used to it myself. But I've never experienced anything scary."
" Thank God, Dinda. It's nice to meet you. Oh yeah, I live not far from this school. If you don't mind, go home and play at my house."
" It's okay, Din. There is plenty of time tomorrow too. Hopefully you can be accepted in this school, so we can meet often."
" Okay, Rista.. I will definitely come to your house. Then I'll go home first."
" Eh, I'm going home. Have you finished your registration?"
" Already, Rista. Hopefully we can get in the top ten. If you don't go in, the important thing is to be accepted here I'm very grateful."
" Look down, Dinda. I'll help you. I'll ask Dad to give you a seat at this school."
" Well, thank you very much, Rista. You're so nice. If you have time, you can play in my house. There's nobody there. We can study together at my house."
" Okay, Dinda.. Tomorrow we change to play at home. After I get to my house, I'll come with you to my house."
" okay.. Da.. Ristas."
" A.. Also, Dinda."
Eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Dinda intends to go home. He waited for the bus in front of the school gate. Bary out of school to the gate.
Dinda's heart was pounding as if she was meeting her prince. She hoped Bary would see her and greet her. But the truth is not. Bary instead walked down his head and did not look at Dinda in the slightest.
Dinda was annoyed with Bary. He then pulled Bary's hand and looked at his face.
" Why are you? Why are you so cold. I just want to meet you. Why don't you want to?"
" You're Dinda, right? Alright.. Now I know your name. But sorry, I have to go home soon. There's no time to talk to you." said Bary then resumed the lagkahnya, leaving Dinda who was still amazed by Bary's attitude.
" wait.. Why are you in such a hurry. What do you want to do?" ask Dinda curious.
" It's none of your business. Never mind.. I have to go home now." said Bary tightly and left Dinda without a word.
" Ohhh.. It's a bitch, that kid. What really happened to the boy. He must have been having a problem that might have been very severe. I have to help him." murmured Dinda.
Shortly after, the taxi driver arrived. He continued to look at Dinda in astonishment. Laughing, the taxi driver greeted Dinda.
" Dik Dinda's.."
Dinda was surprised to hear people calling her name. He looked for where the voice was.
" I'm here, Dik." said the Ojeker as he waved his hand at Dinda's face.
" Oh.. Sorry, Mister. I guess my friend called me." said Dinda nervously.
" Hehe.. It's been.. Don't daydream on the side of the road. Kesambet. He was taken away by people, later unconscious. He was taken to the wilderness."
" That's not it, sir. There's-there, this Father." said Dinda regretfully.
" Hehe.. It could happen, brother. That's why don't daydream a lot. Especially on the side of the road like this."
" Yes already... Let's go, sir. Don't you take it long."
The motorcycle taxi driver complied with Dinda's orders. Smiling, he took his motorcycle to the road to Dinda's house. The look on Dinda's irritated face in the motorcycle spy motorcycle taxi driver. Many times the taxi driver smiled at Dinda's behavior. But he did not dare to rebuke her.
