I've seen you

Problem 1

Rizal now sat backstage while daydreaming. The pension show is over. Stage and sound rental owners have also started to dismantle it.

"Zal, he said he wanted to surprise Lisa. Not so?" Evan's clap on Rizal's shoulder resuscitated his daydream.

"Not so." answered Rizal flatly.

"Something seems to be broken hearted."

Rizal did not answer. He packed his things and took his jacket.

"Lo want to go home?" ask Evan.

"Gue wants to go get Lisa."

"Where did Lisa go?"

"Go to the heart of people."

Evan gawked a little at Rizal's reply.

Rizal stepped quickly towards the parking lot. There are only a few motorcycles there. He sat on his motorcycle for a moment while contacting Lisa. Until several times the dial tone, Lisa did not pick up her phone. He then rushes his motorbike out of school. He even drove his bike faster than usual. He's headed for Lisa's house.

Rizal stops his bike in front of Lisa's house. There's no Rey's bike there. Rizal came down and walked towards the door and knocked on the door. Not long after Ms. Reni opened the door.

"Well, Rizal. Where's lisa?" bu Reni asked when she saw Rizal was alone.

"Lisa hasn't come home aunty?" Rizal asked back.

"Yet. Auntie thinks Lisa's still the same as you." Ms. Reni took her phone and saw no message from Lisa. "Usually Lisa if you want to go out first with aunty."

"So last I saw Lisa was Rey."

"Same Rey?" Ms. Reni tried to contact Lisa but still had no answer.

A few moments later the sound of the motorcycle stopped. It's Rey and Lisa. The two of them got off the motorcycle and walked over to Bu Reni and Rizal who were still standing at the door.

"Where are you from?"

"Sorry aunt, I didn't ask permission. I took Lisa for a walk first to the mall." replied Rey.

"Lisa, I..." Rizal wants to get Lisa to talk but Lisa just passes him by.

"Sorry sister, I'm tired" Lisa said as she passed.

Ms. Reni was a little confused by Lisa's unusual behavior. "Yes already. I'm sorry I didn't mean your auntie ngusir, but you guys just went home. Maybe Lisa's really tired." Without waiting for a response from Rizal and Rey, Ms. Reni walks into her house following Lisa.

Now Rizal looked at Rey. With one ambush Rizal forcefully drags Rey out of the porch of Lisa's house. "Lo apain Lisa!" Rizal releases Rey while pushing her onto his bike.

Again, Rey just sneered. "Gue didn't say anything about Lisa. He wants to be alone with me. You just accept, if he's actually not in love with you!"

Rizal's emotions are mounting. Without a second thought he landed his hard punch on Rey's cheek. "Lo usually plays dirty!"

Rey grimaced in pain for a moment. He now pushed Rizal hard when he saw Rizal preparing to hit him again. "Dirty food?! You're the only one who can't accept that Lisa chose me more!"

Rizal clenched his hand but this time it was Mr. Edi who held him. "That's enough! Why are you fighting here! Go you!" throw out Mr. Edi who made Rey ride his motorcycle.

"I'll excuse you. Sorry for making a fuss." said Rey after that she passed.

Rizal didn't come home.

"You're not home either?"

"Sorry, I can't take care of my emotions. I know this is my village. I shouldn't have made a scene here. But Om, this time please ban Lisa from getting close to Rey."

Edi smiled a little. He thought it was just a young man's business about the heart. "Son Rizal, Rey is Lisa's best friend from Junior High. Well, tomorrow you can solve this problem with Lisa."

"But om. It's not just about feelings. I'm afraid Rey did something to Lisa because Lisa's been blinded by Rey's eyes."

"You mean?" Mr. Edi does not understand Rizal's intentions.

"I can't explain it yet, because I don't have any evidence. But, please Om also keep an eye on Lisa because I also can't take care of Lisa for 24 hours."

"I'm sorry Om." Rizal got on his bike and left.

Mr. Edi now enters the house while still thinking about his conversation with Rizal just now.

"Well, what's the noise outside?" Tanya Bu Reni who was sitting with Lisa in front of the television.

"That's it, Rizal's the same Rey fighting."

"Lisa, do you have any problems with Rizal?" ask Miss Reni to Lisa.

"There's nothing, Ma" Lisa replied.

"Rizal is jealous you are close to Rey" explained Mr. Edi while sitting with them. "Lisa, if you've chosen one man don't get too close to another. It's not good to play with a man's feelings."

Lisa stood up. "Udah, Lisa's tired. Take a break." Then walk quickly to his room.

"Darling, how angry?" Bu Reni was also astonished by her daughter's behavior today.

"Is there a story to what you are, Ma?" ask Edi to his wife.

Ms. Reni shook her head. "It's probably just a feeling, Dad. Ordinary of young people. But it's not usually Lisa's like this."

"But Ma. Just now Rizal told me Dad said we should keep an eye on Lisa and ban her from being close to Rey."

"Maybe Rizal's just jealous."

"Yes, Ma. But when it comes to ordinary jealousy, I don't think Rizal might ask for our help. Mama knows, Rizal can already think maturely. He's no longer a labile teenager like our son."

Bu Reni let out a long breath. "Yes too. Mama doesn't really like Lisa very close to Rey. Remember when Lisa was in an accident, Rey couldn't take care of Lisa. She's the one who asked Lisa to come."

"No need to talk about the past. What matters is that we take care of Lisa."

Bu Reni nodded her head.

...***...

That night Rizal sat in front of his study desk looking at his cell phone. He tried to contact Lisa several times but did not pick her up. Not even a single chat came into Rizal's phone.

"Rizal?!" the call of his mother who was behind him now shocked him.

"Yes, Ma?" Rizal put down his phone and turned to his mother.

"From now Mama called you not horrified. What's the matter? Someone said that Mama you had fought in front of Mr. Edi's house."

Rizal. So quickly the mother-mother gossip spread.

"Come for Mr. Edi's son. That Lisa?" Miss Ela rubbed Rizal's shoulder. "Rizal, don't think about love just yet. Focus on your school. You will be testing again. Lots of try outs too. Anyway you have to be more active in learning, so you get the best value."

"Yes Ma. Rizal. Rizal knows what Rizal's job is. Mama is calm well, Rizal can certainly be the best so Mama can be proud of the entire population of RT here." Rizal is standing. Not the intention of insinuating his mother but Rizal does not like the hobby of his mother who likes to ghibah. Especially since she's been dating Lisa. She was afraid that her mother was provoked by the bad stories of other mothers.

"Rizal, what did you say? Mama just wants what's best for you."

"Ma, I've." Mr. Alan approached his wife who looked upset. "Rizal is big. He must know his duty. Rizal has always been proud of us. He never disappointed us. Already, let him do what he wants."

"Huh, papa always takes Rizal's hand." Miss Ela came out of Rizal's room while frenzied.

"Biarin. Your mother was like that." Mr. Alan patted his son's shoulder for a moment.

"Yes, Pa."

"If you fight in front of Mr. Edi's house, Papa is sure you have your own reasons." Mr. Alan brought himself a little closer to Rizal. "Papa used to be young too, if anyone deletin your Mama, Papa directly hit. Well, your mother forgot. Though Mama and Papa dating also start from High School."

Rizal laughed at his papa story.

"But remember, don't go too far and overboard." said Mr. Alan before exiting Rizal's room.

"Ready Pa." After that, Rizal closed the door of his room. She now settles down on the bed staring at the screen of her phone that is still empty without a chat from Lisa.
