He's Mine But For You

The Canteen

A week later, the announcement of new student admissions was published. Dinda came to school early. He looked at the notice board in front of the principal's room.

Both of his eyes were fixed on the notice board. He repeatedly looked up and down. But he did not find his name. He began to worry, his whole body seemed boneless. Cold sweat started flooding his face up to his body.

He did not think he was not accepted into his favorite school. He fell down and walked to find a seat. Suddenly someone came and patted her on the shoulder.

" Fork.."

Dinda was so shocked she almost fell. He looked at someone who was sitting next to him.

" What's wrong with you, Dinda?" ask a girl who turns out to be Arista.

" I wasn't accepted into this school, Ta. I really want to go to school here. This is my favorite school I have been wanting for a long time. There was no name on the notice board." said Dinda as she styled her unraveling hair covering her left eye.

Arista just laughed at Dinda's words. Because of his gel, he laughed until he let out tears seeing Dinda's attitude.

" Dinda beautiful... Have you seen properly, the announcement on the board?"

" How come you even fucked me, anyway. Glad that your friend is hard." said Dinda a little ketus.

" I laughed because I saw what you were doing. Funny, know. Take a look again, who knows your name slipped among the many names on the board."

" I've seen it five times, but there's no name on the board."

" Sir.. Dinda... You just lack focus. Come on, let's see it together. I just saw your name on the board."

" The truth, Ta.. Don't give me false hope. It's not funny, Rista."

Arista suddenly grabs Dinda's hand and pulls her and brings Dinda to the front of the notice board.

" Try.you see again. There's no name on this board. If it doesn't exist, it means wrong to look. But if there is, I ask you today, you buy me a meal. Hehe.."

" I promise to treat you. What do you want to eat, I pay. But if I get accepted into this school."

" okay.. Promise, yes."

" Yes..."

Dinda started again looking and looking for his name on the notice board. He was hoping to find his name as Arista said. He slowly sorted the names listed on the notice board.

" There! Rista, I'm welcome." cried Dinda as she hugged Arista because she was so happy.

" What, I said.. You are accepted into this school. So, you're gonna buy me, right?"

" Yes, I did, I promised to treat you. Come on, we'll eat in the cafeteria."

" Yes... Let's go. In the corner cafeteria, the food was delicious. What I like the most, the chicken soto. The smell is tempting, really.."

" Could, let's go over there. But I saw my wallet first. I know my money is not enough."

" Hahaha.just calm down. If you bring twenty thousand, make two is enough. The photo is only five thousand. The most expensive drink is only three thousand."

" Oh, I think it's expensive. This is a good school, of course snacks in the cafeteria are also expensive."

" No, Dinda. Although a favorite school, but no effect on food in the cafeteria. Come on, hunt there. Mumpung is still morning. If it's time to rest, it'll be crowded."

" All right, Rista."

Dinda follows Arista walking to the cafeteria at the corner of the school. The canteen is very clean and in front of the canteen is a small pond with a fountain in the middle. The atmosphere in the canteen made Dinda feel comfortable. Before he ordered the food, he took a look around the cafeteria.

As he daydreamed admiring the place, someone came and patted him on the shoulder. Dinda surprised. He almost hit the person who surprised him with his left hand. But his intention was stalled because the one who patted him on the shoulder was Bary.

" Bary! Why are you surprising me! Thankfully I didn't get you. It sucks!" said Dinda with a ketus.

" I'm sorry.. I just want to give you your money back. You gave me too much money."

" I told you, just take it. I gave it to you, why did it come back?"

" I can't take it. This money is too much. I don't want you to be scolded by your parents."

" Eh, I really need. But with my hard work, not people's gifts."

" You are so arrogant as a person.. Someone told you the money was returned. The one who loves you, kapok."

" All right.I'll take your money. Thank you, yeah.."

" Yes, equally. Uh, bary are you accepted to this school?" dinda asked as she flicked her unraveled hair.

" Don't be asked if you're welcome or not, Dinda. He must have been accepted. He's a smart kid." said Arista and sat next to Dinda.

" so.. You're welcome, Bar?!" Shouted Dinda with a smile.

" Yes, that's it." said Bary briefly.

" Yeeee.hopefully we can have one class, yeah."

" Cieee.. If one class is you want to do the same Bary, Dinda." said Arista.

" Ah, nothing. Just, I'm just glad I could be Bary's class."

" Ahem.it must be something.."

" Ihh.. What, Rista? don't talk weird." said Dinda, pinching Arista's arm.

" Ouchhh.sick." complained Rista and replied to Dinda by slapping her back.

" Ouch.. Dare to be nabok, not so I treat you. "

" Uh.. Can't be like that. You, I promise. Promises must be kept."

" Yes... Ja.. Bary what do you want to eat? I'll take it." asked Dinda to Bary.

" Oh, no need for Dinda. Thank you very much. I'm already full. You're the one eating."

" Bary's.. Why did you reject Dinda's offer? Though the food here is delicious." asked Rista.

" It's okay, I ate. I have to go home soon anyway." said Bary.

" Eh, Bary.he said your father is sick, what pain?"

" Where do you know?"

" From the vegetable seller in the market. You replaced your father's job, right?"

Bary nodded his head. Actually, he did not want Dinda to know that he helped his father sell. He was ashamed to say it.

" Bary's.. Even dumbly, answer Dinda's question." said Tasya while patting Bary's shoulder.

" Ah sorry, I have to go home soon. Today I have a lot of work. My laundry has also been piled up. I go first, yes." said Bary then rushed away from the cafeteria.

" Duhh. Just play away.. Asked instead of answering instead immediately went home" said Rista so upset with Bary.

" Already, don't menggomelinya. It's okay, if he wants to go. After all he must have had a lot of homework to complete. Kan, his father is now again hospitalized."

" Yes, but at least he answered your question before he left."

" You're the same as Bary. He's not your neighbor. You should have understood him better, Rista."

" Eh, I just don't feel good about you, Dinda. You look like you're being dicuekin."

" I'm fine, Rista. Take it easy instead of talking He mending us eat. It's still warm."

Dinda and Rista immediately ate the food that had been served at the dinner table. In his heart Dinda was actually upset with Bary's attitude. But he was able to hide his frustration. He does not want Arista to be upset too, because of Bary's attitude.
