Chapter 6

After the students of Cakrawala High School performed the ceremony from this morning, now all seem to have walked to their respective classes. No one made a mistake or problem at the time of the ceremony, all the students followed the ceremony well. Some students also went straight to the cafeteria first before entering his class.

In the canteen, the atmosphere now looks quiet because it is not yet a break. However, some of the eleventh graders were seen sitting idly chatting while eating their meals. No exception IPS2 11th class naughty students are also there, yes, who else if not Aergantara. Dirga is not alone, he is accompanied by Rahman and Udik. They first chatted in the cafeteria before going to class, ahh, this is common for them, almost every Monday they do this. Later when entering class the reason is not far from the toilet.

“Ehh, you were looking for Rafika,” Rahman told Dirga who was drinking iced tea.

Dirga put back her iced tea, turning towards Rahman. “Ngapain is my nyariin son?” tanyakanya.

“Kangen time, In. After all, you are doing paper-in mulu,” Udik chirps just like that.

“Not wrong I also time. He himself tuh easy baper his person,” replied Dirga cuek.

“Case, Di,” invite Rahman who immediately stood up to pay for his food and drinks.

“Ehh, all payin that I, Man,” pinta Dirga.

“Gue too, Man.” Udik also asked to be paid with Rahman.

Rahman looked at his two friends. “Gue boarding boy, no money. It's good to live in your own home. Pay yourself!” hardik Rahman was getting angry.

“Ya already,” Dirga standing, “gue paid all.” Dirga walked up to the canteen guards and immediately paid for the food and drinks of the three of them.

Without any invitation to go to class, Dirga just walked away from the two friends. Udik hurriedly finished his drink, and soon followed Dirga, as well as Rahman who immediately walked after his friend. The three of them headed to class together.

“Assalamualaikum, Ma'am,” said Dirga while knocking on his class door. He walked into the classroom first, followed by his two friends from behind.

Ms. Rina was not angry at the three of them who had just entered the class, because indeed she herself had also just entered the class. Dirga and his two friends were told by Bu Rina to sit in their seats.

The three of them took out a book and pen to study. Ms. Rina also started Indonesian lessons in this first hour.

The atmosphere in the class was calm, there was no sound of students being noisy, all were silent listening to the explanation from Bu Rina, and recorded what was needed, and had to understand the material given. This Indonesian lesson is indeed very important for every school child, especially in Indonesia. The language of unity must be completely understandable and understandable by anyone, even the people of Indonesia must know the Indonesian language itself.

As usual, Dirga was still sitting casually in her chair without holding a pen to take down the materials that Bu Rina had given her. Dirga did notice Bu Rina who was explaining, but whatever words from Bu Rina passed just like that in Dirga's ears. Another case with his two friends, Rahman and Udik are seen to record what is important in their opinion. Naughty may be, but lessons are still mandatory to follow and must be understood. I don't know what's in Dirga's mind right now.

“Lo not writing anymore, Di?” ask Udik who was next to him.

“Gak, males!” dirga reply cuek.

“Lo is why, Di? I wonder the same lo, kok lo kayak not the spirit of mulu every learning, why?”

“Free I missed all the lessons, Brother. My parents don't care about my school life either.”

“Do not do that, Di. Lo parents would want you to be a successful person with a lot of knowledge, not a bad boy who has a lot of problems.”

Dirga swept his right hand in front of the smart-ass Udik. “Alah, you don't have to say much, Dik, you're so smart I'm shocked. Live your life now.” Dirga's words were not filtered first, he carelessly spoke in front of Udik. It immediately made Udik himself refocus on his book, ignoring Dirga again.

Indonesian lessons just passed for their class today. Now, the next lesson change bell has rung. They continued the other lessons after Bu Rina came out and the other teacher came in.

As with the first lesson, this second hour lesson also passed for class 11 IPS2. Their class was not noisy at all, but the silent Dirga did not record the material at all since Bu Rina's lesson. Dirga comfortable with his current behavior, lucky for him until now there has been no examination of records for each lesson. If anything, Dirga must be the first one to be punished, get in trouble.

***

In the cafeteria, Ayu looks for Dirga's existence. Ayu accompanied by Rafika continues to search for Dirga's whereabouts. Previously they had surrounded the school to find Dirga's whereabouts, but still the people sought never met. Finally, Ayu thought to find Dirga in the cafeteria, there was a point also they were looking for Dirga in the canteen.

“Dirga!” yang Ayu approached Dirga who was sitting in the cafeteria with Rahman and Udik.

Dirga turned his head, facing towards the person who called out to him. “Why, Yu?” asked Dirga innocently. The three of them were enjoying the food and drinks ordered earlier while chatting.

“Ehh, there's Eneng Rafika,” Udik's tease look at Rafika who is standing a little back from Ayu.

“Gue flush entrance lo!” threaten Rafika who is getting angry.

Rahman and Dirga immediately laughed as they saw the expression of Udik who had just threatened Rafika.

“Beautiful-beautiful really irritable,” sneer Udik without looking at Rafika.

“Diem lo!” Rafika snapped in front of them, it was aimed at Udik.

Ayu who started to get emotional hearing their dispute immediately told Rafika and Udik to shut up. The two men fell silent. Ayu this time was serious about the words she was about to say, they looked at Ayu with curious gazes.

“Lo sought after principal, Dirga!” said Ayu slightly in a high tone.

Rahman and Udik were really shocked when they found out that Dirga was being sought by the principal. They both guessed it must be because Dirga's problem stopped at that time, ahh, Rahman and Udik's heart so dag-dig-dug because of nervousness will be involved in Dirga's problem. Really, the current atmosphere made Rahman and Udik instantly attacked by overwhelming fear. They both looked at Dirga who looked relaxed in response to Ayu's words earlier.

“Gue seriously, Di,” said Ayu once again.

“Yes, you are looking for the principal, Di. Buruan now meets the principal in his room,” tells Rafika.

Dirga stood up from his seat, facing Ayu and Rafika. Without speaking, Dirga immediately walked away leaving her friends in the cafeteria. Dirga immediately headed to the office to meet the principal.

Upon arrival at the office, Dirga was awaited by the headmaster who was seen sitting at the front desk of the office with other teachers. Without Dirga realizing it was also there Bu Resti was chatting with the principal. With a relaxed pace Dirga approached the principal and the other teachers.

“This is Dirga,” said Mr. Efendi who smiled cynically seeing Dirga directly facing the principal.

The words of Mr. Efendi were not ignored, Dirga even politely kissed the hands of the headmaster and teachers who were there, including Mr. Efendi, but with a sharp gaze.

“Let's go into Mr.”'s room

Mr. Burhan invited Dirga into his room. Dirga followed the principal to his room, but Bu Resti also followed them from behind. This time what punishment will Dirga get from his problem. Why does Bu Resti have to come too, anyway? Dirga himself began to dag-dig-dug with the current atmosphere. He was already sitting in the chair right in front of the headmaster, and Bu Resti was on his left side.

“Begini, Bu Resti and I have received a report from the gym teacher that you left during the lesson time. He has checked the previous lessons and you are present, but why when entering sports hours you even go home first?” ask Mr. Burhan casually.

“Look sir, that time I forgot to bring a sports uniform. Well, if the student who does not carry a sports uniform will not be diabsen by the teacher. Than I'm not diabsen, mendingan me go home first, sir. As per the explanation.” Dirga casually explained why he went home first to Mr. Burhan. Dirga's behavior is very relaxed. Crazy one! You can't appreciate a teacher or a school principal.

“As far as Mr. Burhan would give any punishment to Dirga. I as his homeroom teacher only follow what is the decision of Mr. Burhan, even if Dirga must be expelled from school I accept, Sir,” said Bu Resti.

Just contact Bu Resti's words immediately made Dirga shocked to death. Dirga expelled from school? Seriously? Relax, this has not been in accordance with the decision taken by the principal. Dirga was really surprised to hear the words that he could have been expelled from school just because of this problem. Dirga's gaze immediately turned to Bu Resti, Dirga's eyes began to glaze over as everything fell silent. And Dirga's return leads to Mr. Burhan.

“Pak ...” With a heavy voice, Dirga was very hopeful that she would not be completely expelled from the school.

Mr. Burhan looked at Dirga with a look as if he was sorry for what he would say later. “Look, Son ... You still want to study at this High School, right? If you still want, please change your attitude from now on. If indeed your attitude is still the same as this, yes, the school has to issue you.”

“Whatever punishment I will do, sir, just don't get kicked out of school. I beg you, Mr.” Dirga this time really begging in front of Mr. Burhan and Bu Resti― asking that he can still attend school at Cakrawala Jakarta High School, not to be expelled.

Mr. Burhan took the envelope from his desk drawer. “Ya. Please accept this,” Mr. Burhan give the envelope, “give it to your parents, tell them to come. And now please return to your class.”

Dirga received the envelope. His mind was immediately drawn to the busyness of his parents. This is what is needed now, sir, thank you, Dirga said in his heart. Stupid or stupid Dirga this? Why did he even thank Mr. Burhan for giving me the call? I don't know what Dirga will do after this. Dirga willingly accepted it and she immediately returned to her class again.

Instead of walking to class, Dirga instead went to the cafeteria again, first he wiped his eyes that had glazed earlier, then smiled for a while looking at the summons. Smile again? What the hell do you want Dirga with that call? Dirga continued walking towards the school cafeteria.

“Ehh, it's Dirga,” said Udik pointing at Dirga who was walking closer to the four of them.

Still in the same place as before, Ayu, Rafika, Rahman and Udik were at the table earlier. They talked, I don't know what was discussed. But when Dirga approached, the chatter of the four of them immediately stopped. One another looked at each other as if something was being hidden. Then they simultaneously looked at Dirga who was holding an envelope.

“That's what envelope, Dik?” ask Ayu to Dirga who is still standing.

Dirga pulled an empty chair near their table, then sat down to join his friends. Putting the envelope on the table without looking at the regretful or sad expression of having just been called the principal.

“Ehh, how do you like a gang, Di? Was it in the office?” tanya Udik was very curious.

“Gue was kissed by Ms. Ulfa in the office earlier, Dik,” replied Dirga carelessly, accompanied by a small laugh.

“Don't do that, Yu,” bela Rafika for the actions Ayu did on Dirga.

“Yeah, behind again. I don't need to be bought, Ra, gini people are pantes. Udik section is serious, why answered carelessly!” hardik Ayu on Dirga

“Just relax, Yu,” Dirga continued, “just get a call, no need to worry too much.”

“Ehh, not only am I afraid you will be expelled from school because of your problems, Di! Everyone is also afraid that you will be expelled from school, okay?!” Ayu continued to yell in front of Dirga without worrying around them while crowded with people.

If Ayu was angry, Dirga must feel guilty. Ayu was indeed a close friend of Dirga who dared to scold him anywhere, anytime, whatever Dirga's problem must be Ayu angry mulu. Dirga fell silent after hearing the ramblings from the serious Ayu.

“Iya, I am also afraid that you will be expelled from school, Di,” said Rafika with a sad look on her face.

Dirga's gaze was fixed on Rafika's eyes that began to glaze over, Dirga began to digest her joking words earlier. He feels guilty. Without Rafika and the others thought, Dirga dared to wipe the tears that came out of the corner of Rafika's eyes with her thumb. All his friends were focused on the two of them who were currently being serious. They both looked.

“Gue apologizes if you're worried. Uda, you don't cry, Ra.” Dirga tries to calm down Rafika who starts to grieve. His eyes turned towards his friends. “Gue also apologizes to all of you,” he said knowingly.

“Other times if again seriously try seriously, Di. You think this is a small matter? You are not alone, around you many people care! Don't repeat, Di.” Ayu reminded Dirga not to repeat the same thing again.

The bell in the next lesson broke the serious mood of the five of them in the canteen. Dirga first stood up from his chair, inviting his friends to immediately enter the class. Ayu, Rahman and Udik walk first leaving their table, but Dirga restrains Rafika's arm. They both looked.

“Lo don't cry anymore huh, Ra. If you cry I also follow sad,” he said, then release his hand from Rafika's arm, and walk after the three friends earlier.

Rafika digested a word from Dirga for a moment. Then he stepped away following his friends towards class.

In the classroom, everyone sits neatly in their chairs. Dirga also took out a book and the questioner from the bag was placed on the table. What will happen this time in class? When Dirga looked at Rafika, Rafika was facing Dirga, automatically making direct eye contact. What was that look? Rafika was seen smiling as Dirga looked at her silently. And the strange thing is that Dirga returned Rafika's smile.

The whole class seemed quiet and there were only two of them there looking at each other sharing a smile. What is this sign? This room makes their gazes as if they were in a bond, who knows what the bond is. If anyone thinks it's love, emm ... might be true, huh? Or, their gaze was as an intermediary for Dirga's attention to Rafika in the cafeteria earlier? Keep guessing until you get dizzy yourself. They are both still good friends.

“Assalamualaikum.”

The gaze came to a halt as the teacher walked into their classroom. Again their eyes were cut off. The two of them instantly refocused themselves on the teacher who entered the classroom. All the students returned greetings from the teacher simultaneously.

I don't know why I can follow you sad when you're sad, Ra? I don't know why I got so bad about you. I know that I'm a fool for making jokes when I'm serious, but it's me intentionally so that you all don't focus on my problems, Ra. You know for yourself that I don't want you guys involved in my problems. I beg you not to be sad anymore, Ra. Dirga again muttered in her heart while looking at Rafika from behind. A moment when Dirga wanted to turn away from Rafika, and at that moment Rafika again looked at Dirga secretly. But their eyes met again. It was only a short time, Rafika looks embarrassed because she was caught staring back at Dirga.

Teachers who are in their classes directly provide the subject matter. They studied seriously this time. The teacher's view was fixed on Dirga who was seen leaning on his chair without noting the material that had been written on the board. The teacher walked closer to Dirga.

Dirga himself was relaxing, daydreaming with his thoughts that were somehow being mastered by what. Dirga spontaneously awoke from his daydreams when the teacher rebuked him. His face was scared.

“What are you doing, son?” ask the teacher.

His head was slightly raised, looking at the teacher's face. “Sorry, I was daydreaming, Mom.” Dirga apologized for his mistake.

“Yes, don't repeat, focus on learning. Please copy the material on the board.” The teacher walked back to his chair.

***

Dirga, Rahman and Udik were walking towards the parking lot. The students of Cakrawala High School have left the school area, because it is time to go home from school.

“Ehh, I first yes, Di, Man,” said Udik left by riding his motorbike leaving the parking lot.

Dirga and Rahman just nodded in understanding. Dirga got into his car, Rahman also got on. Dirga turned his car around, slowly stepping on the gas his car wanted to leave the school area. Their car paused in front of the gate, Dirga deliberately stopped him because he saw Ayu and Rafika standing there.

“Lo home ride what, Yu?” ask Dirga.

“Taxi or not angkot aja,” Ayu replied.

Dirga's eyes turned to Rafika who was standing beside him.

“If you go home what ride?” tanyakanya.

“Again waiting for an invitation, but from earlier did not comeg-dateng,” reply Rafika, downcast look sad.

Seeing Rafika who was getting tired of waiting, Dirga finally took the initiative to drive Rafika home. But, if Dirga just send Rafika, surely Ayu will be angry. Without thinking any longer, Dirga immediately invited the two to immediately get into the car. It's just a friend's attention.

Without refusing, Ayu immediately pulled Rafika's arm to get into Dirga's car. They both sat in the back. Dirga immediately drove his car, first he drove Ayu and Rafika home.

If it's Ayu's house, Dirga already knows, but Rafika's house he doesn't know yet. Yes, it's okay, besides there is Rafika in the car, so Dirga just obey the direction Rafika shows later. After dropping off Ayu, Dirga immediately proceeded to drop off Rafika.

Along the way Dirga follows the instructions directed by Rafika. They stopped at one of the houses in the complex. The house is not as big as Dirga's house, but it looks like Rafika middle-up person, proven in the yard of the house there is a car, and two motor― one of which is motor sport.

“This is home lo?” rahman asked when he saw Rafika's house.

“Iya, Man. This is my house. You guys want to stop by, don't you?” bargained for. Right, that's according to the direction from Rafika.

“No need, next time,” replied Dirga. Dirga turned the engine back on and immediately left Rafika's house. The glass of his car had not been raised by Dirga because he was looking at Rafika who waved her hand smiling. Because Rafika had entered the area of his house, Dirga increased the speed of his car and raised the glass of the car. They're headed for kosan Rahman.

***

It was already night, and Dirga had just arrived in front of his house. Dirga deliberately went home only to convey that she got a call letter for parents―agar come to school tomorrow morning. Dirga hesitantly got out of the car. He walked into the area of his house while twirling the envelope of the call. Dirga ventured to press the doorbell. It didn't take long, one of them opened the door from inside.

Bi Siti opened the door of her house. Bi Siti tells Dirga to come in, and she also explains that at home there is Mama with her Papa. Bi Siti followed Dirga walking towards her parents' room―who was on the second floor―to immediately deliver the letter.

From outside the room only Dirga had listened to the bickering between Mama and Papa. Dirga himself did not want to know what the cause of his parents were fighting again, he said it was common in his family. Dirga pushed the door of the room just like that, and spontaneously stopped the bickering of his parents.

“See! You see the nature of Dirga!” bastian said after knowing Dirga entered their room just like that without knocking or saying hello first.

Dirga approached her parents, and she placed the envelope on the table. “This is a call letter for parents to attend school, because their child is making trouble while at school, and is required for one of the parents of the student to be present tomorrow morning, as well,” clearly Dirga as if his parents did not understand the meaning of the call from the school.

“Do not explain Papa already know!” snapped it.

“That's how you behave towards your own child, always yelling. Never once to talk well, ask why she can get the call letter,” said Wulandari advising her husband. She was also upset with her husband's attitude which always angry in front of Dirga.

Meanwhile, Bi Siti was silent near the door of the room, she did not dare to approach those who were bickering.

Dirga took Bi Siti out of her parents' room. Bi Siti headed to the kitchen, while Dirga headed to her room to pick up some clothes, and other needed items.

“Dirga always make trouble in his school, every month must have received a warning from the teacher. I never understood the feelings of my parents!”

“You can't understand her feelings!”

“How are you? Still busy with office work, never want to go to school for the call attendance!”

“Don't turn on each other dong! You yourself also never menehadirin school call for Dirga!”

Until Dirga was already in his room was bickering his parents still sound loud. Who can't really feel for each other? According to Dirga, he changed because of the attitude of his parents who were less attentive to him. Dirga always heard the commotion in his house. After finishing from the room, Dirga went down to meet Bi Siti in the kitchen.

Perhaps only Bi Siti could stand the commotion in Dirga's home until recently. Bi Siti never said that she wanted to stop being a maid at the Dirga family home or wanted to go out. Bi Siti was very helpful in the life of Dirga especially his family. Bi Siti was the first to be a maid in Dirga's house, since Wulandari was still with her first husband. The pity towards Dirga must have been in Bi Siti's mind, it was just that she couldn't do much.

After saying goodbye to Bi Siti wanting to leave again, Dirga immediately left her home. He exited the house walking towards his parked car in front of the gate of his house. Dirga got into the car, he looked towards Bi Siti who was looking at him from the front door of the house. If you can feel the sadness of Bi Siti, maybe Dirga will cry as hell in front of Bi Siti now, but Dirga tried to hold back the sadness. He drove his car.

Not sure if one of his parents will come to school tomorrow morning. Most importantly Dirga had told her that she had gotten a summons, and had already been delivered to her parents. Dirga just wait for tomorrow, who will come fulfill the call of the headmaster.

“Hope tomorrow will be happier than today”

Dirga wrote that status on his whatsapp while driving a car to Rahman's boarding house.
