I Love You, Sir

31

It's Saturday night and Shandy and his two best friends are circling one of the largest malls in South Jakarta. They were actually just looking around, not buying anything.

Ah, not really. Shandy already carrying a bag containing the latest dress output of a fashion house. While Monik and Dara have carrying 1 paper bag each containing bags and shoes, also with the same brand as Shandy.

“Udah at 7 nih. Not going to eat?” Shandy asked his two best friends who seemed to still feel at home moving their feet around the big mall.

“Eh yes, geez. I didn't realize it was 7. Come on, eat where it is,” said Monik while looking at the watch that is circular on his left wrist.

“Don't sushi yes. Pregnant women should not eat sushi,” said Dara reminded his two friends.

“Ke pizza hut how? Safe right?” The Monik proposal that instantly got the agreed nod from the others.

The three also headed for pizza hut which was on the 5th floor of the mall. And as expected, the restaurant was crowded by many people. Not only young people like them, many families and even grandparents who eat there.

The three were still in a daze when Shandy heard his name being called by someone. He and his two best friends immediately turned their heads and there was Alea and of course Dirga.

Shandy was actually reluctant to join them, but it would be very strange if suddenly he did not want to join when his friends and Alea did not know about the problem with Dirga.

What problems? What is my personal problem, Shandy's mind while also sitting at the table Alea and Dirga.

“Hai sweet kids. Good thing you met us. Otherwise, maybe you guys did not eat here earlier,” greet Alea friendly once they finally sit at the same table.

“What message do you want? For tonight, our special treat. Special for the most beautiful and friendly students in the class miss Alea,” said Alea excited.

Shandy just smiled knots while being busy looking at the menu book opened by his two friends. And whether it's bad luck or not, he just sat facing Dirga. 

Like, of all the seats, why did he have to sit in front of the man he was avoiding?

Shandy lifted his head from the menu book and accidentally met Dirga's eyes. The man looked speechless looking at her with an unusual gaze. A look that Shandy couldn't make.

“Shan-Shandy, so which message?” Monik rebuke when he saw Shandy just daydreamed looking at Dirga.

“Hah, what? Ah, sorry. I follow you guys,” fast. He tried to distract her by grabbing her phone which was in the small handbag she was carrying earlier.

He almost threw his phone when a message came in to surprise him. Damn again, that's a message from Dirga.

Dirga: You angry?

Shandy frowned confusedly. He lifted his head and looked at Dirga who was looking down at his phone.

Dirga seemed to realize when someone was looking at him. He raised his head and looked at Shandy. He immediately gave the code by shaking his phone.

Shandy: What does that mean?

Dirga: Yes, you are angry with me?

Dirga: I don't know. You are angry, so you know the reason.

Shandy did not want to reply to the message. Reply messages with Dirga made him even more upset and tired of the man.

“I'm sorry to go to the toilet first yes,” say goodbye to others. And without waiting for an answer, Shandy got out of his chair.

The two friends just looked at Shandy confusedly. Confused by Shandy's mood swings was very sudden. He was smiling and laughing with them. Why was it that his aura was so dark now?

I think I'm pregnant. Why is Shandy the mood swing? Inner Dara while staring at Shandy's back which was getting further away.

“Lho Dirga go where?” Alea asked as Dirga also stood up from his chair.

Dirga smiled slightly looking at Alea. “You to the bookstore for a moment. Our food has not come yet, I want to go for a walk first.”

“Aren't you going to be with me? Must be so now?” Hold Alea while holding Dirga's wrist.

Dirga took off Alea's grip slowly. “After a while. Later I will also come back again,” he said as he walked away from their table.

Monik and Dara looked at each other after watching the epic drama in front of them.

“Miss, sorry if we were presumptuous. But miss Ale is there any relationship with Mr Dirga?” Monik asked as he looked at Alea timidly.

“Me and Mr Dirga? Hmm, our relationship is a bit complicated. We are high school friends and have been involved in monkey love in high school. I love Dirga first. But I'm dating his best friend Dirga. I also just found out Dirga likes me after we graduated high school. After that, Dirga continued school to America and we lost contact.”

Alea sipped a little of her drink before continuing her life story. Ignoring the surprised faces of the two students. “And a few weeks ago we accidentally met in one of the malls. And so familiar again deh,” said Alea closed the story.

“Wah, it turns out that miss Ale and Mr. Dirga have a complicated past too huh. Continue to miss Ale now still like the same sir Dirga?” Ask Dara who was curious.

Alea leaned her body against the back of the chair and folded her hands in front of her chest. “Hm, if asked that is a bit difficult yes the answer. Is there a feeling or not? I guess not really. Because from the beginning there was no sense to Dirga. What's the connection now? Ttm? Friends but friendly? Maybe it was like that.”

“Do not want to try deketin again miss? Mr. Dirga is like a single tuh,” seductive Dara while raising his eyebrows.

“You should ask gini first. Miss, Mr Dirga is there yet? Gitu.”

“Lho is there a miss? Not a school person, of course. You see, Mr. Dirga in school is not sick abis,” said Monik confidently.

Alea smiled broadly. “And you will be very surprised to know who he is,” his words that make Dara and Monik look at him confused.

"meaning miss? How do I not understand?" Monik asked as he looked at Alea confusedly.

"It's not time you knew. Later, if they have a clear status, I will tell you all the secrets. Just wait," Alea said as she slanted.
