Fina's sentence is still attached to Win's head. Better to avoid before you disappear. Win is still trying hard to solve the puzzle. While in the cafeteria, his mind only revolved around that sentence. Confusion was obvious on his face, like he was working on a replay of class.
His friends give each other codes, go on the hook, look at Win's empty gaze. The man was dissolving in daydreams with both hands folded on his chest. Hersa, Dery and Ahdan, who were at the same table with Win, were apparently aware of his awkwardness.
Ahdan placed his hand on Win's forehead, checked Win's body temperature, then he compared it to his butt temperature. “Yes, anget, same.”
The table was filled with laughter. Except for the laughter from Win. He did not open his mouth to laugh. His gaze was still seriously breaking the ‘PR’ that Fina gave.
“Better dodge before lost,” Win chirps suddenly break the silence.
Suddenly, Ahdan immediately turned his back to hear Win's speech, thinking that a sentence that could sound horror if viewed from the other side was addressed to him, he said,
“Ampun, Win.Gue is just kidding. Don't make me disappear.” Ahdan raised both his hands, asking for forgiveness. His face was anxious, as if his fate was at the tip of a horn.
“Hayoloh, And. Don't tell me anyone hurt Win, later that person will disappear.” Dery compiles by quoting one of the sentences from a famous movie.
“Better dodge, before lost.” Win repeated that sentence. His hands are still folded in his chest. His body was leaning against the iron chair. “What does it mean?”
“Hah? How-how?’’ Ahdan lowered his hand, realizing the sentence was not for him.
“Gue just what does that sentence mean?” Win clarify.
“I don't know about that poetic-poetic thing.” Hersa who had just witnessed the absurd behavior of her two friends, finally spoke up. Still with its cold character.
“Mending ask to girls. Usually it's about the poetic-puitis gini girl jagoya.” Dery provides a solution, although the solution must always be related to women. Views circulate. She sees her boyfriend with boyfriend Hersa buying batagor together. Dery calls Fuji by the designation “’Sayang.”
Fuji did not look at him at first. Didn't catch Dery's voice from drowning. But after being told Letta, Fuji immediately glanced at the source of the voice. The two beauties walked over to Win's table and his plot.
“Ya?” The innocent-looking girl who was the boyfriend of the basket-eyed guy asked softly.
“Dery want her, if she wants to have another girlfriend can not?” Ahdan is making up. His head was immediately attacked by the accused. Fuji just smiled in response, not taking it seriously. He already knew the character of his beautiful girlfriend. So he can understand Ahdan's joke.
“Lying! Don't be afraid of this one single neighbor! Biasalah, envy our special relationship...” Dery reassures her boyfriend, though it sounds a little overwhelming.
“Iya, yes, trust me. What do you want to call me here?” Fuji with patience and maturity was not at all provoked by Ahdan's temptation.
“It... What's name? Si Win wants something for both of you.” Dery explains the main purpose they call both.
“Udah to eat, Ta?” suddenly Hersa interrupted in a cold voice to Letta. Although it sounded cold and indifferent, in fact his heart was very worried about Letta. Only me that guy is weak in expressing it.
“Had, now couple one more.” Ahdan was irritated,
Letta nodded sweetly. “You?”
Hersa should be grateful for the fate that brought her to Letta. The girl with the warmth, complemented Hersa's cold attitude. The girl is very good at giving affection, even compared to Hersa herself.
Hersa nodded. “Udah.”
Letta always asked back every time Hersa asked him whether he had eaten or not. Letta was much more worried about Hersa than Hersa was worried about her.
“If you have just finished eating do not go straight to scratch! Watch, aja!” Letta reminded. That habit is not good for her boyfriend. But luckily this time the guy obeyed him. “What did you want?”
Now it's Win's turn to speak up. Win justifies his sitting position, a little more advanced. He is getting more excited now. He also wants to be like his friends who have a partner.
“There are girls who told me, ‘better avoid before missing’. You guys know what that means?” Win explained. His face is very serious like a detective.
Fuji and Letta looked at each other for a moment. For a few seconds they both looked confused. Win gives them time to think.
“Better dodge or?” Fuji repeated the word Win.
“H... Maybe according to him, he better avoid because he knows someday you will disappear.” Fuji who is a student whose subscription can be ranked in the classroom and a hobby of reading books gives Win a shadow over Fina's sentence.
“Gue agree.” Letta agrees with her best friend.
Win rubbed his chin, twisted his brain.
“Gue also agrees. My girlfriend is smart, can't be wrong.” Dery was supportive of her boyfriend's thoughts.
“Gue also agrees.” Ahdan.
“Nobody needs approval from lo!” Dery is still upset with Ahdan who just compromised his relationship.
Win seems interested in his world. Why should I disappear? How did he know I was going to disappear? At least those questions were wandering in his head. Fina is so mysterious. But, the more mysterious the girl is, the more spirit Win pursues her.
...***...
Fina attended the event in a brochure she got a few days ago. After school he went straight to the Mall still wearing a white-gray uniform. He didn't want to miss the show for a minute.
Lobby Mall is crowded by people who are thirsty for science and dream to have a healthy mentality. The number of seats available there was only about 50, so the rest stood along the ledges, forming a semicircle of the main stage.
Fina was lucky to get a chair. So he can focus on listening to the material comfortably. In front of him, on the stage, there was the host and the Handsome Doctor who were each seated on a chair that was charging towards the audience. There was a round glass table with paper flowers separating them. The stage background was wrapped in a banner with the title of the event: “Generasi Sehat Mental”.
The rumor of the handsome doctor is true. The psychologist who is now talking in front of hundreds of pairs of eyes does have a beautiful face. He was like an angel wrapped in white jaz. The bass sound is soothing. His aura flashed so resplendent as he spoke. Every word he spoke meant. His body movements were full of authority. The doctor is handsome inside and out.
“I have about one year opened a practice in Indonesia. He handled a lot of patients. Offline or online. My patients come from different age ranges, young children, teenagers, young people, the elderly, the elderly, all can go through tough days. Some of them have harbored it for years, for fear of assumptions in society that are still taboo on mental health. In fact, everyone can't be okay. And we need to love ourselves more than anything,” said Doctor Gerald who was immediately greeted by boisterous applause.
“Very amazing Doctor Gerald. Still young, handsome, humble, wise, just like.” The male hostess weighed in with a hint of a joke.
The show's done. The crowd began to break up. Visitor chairs are filled. Doctor Gerald rested backstage while enjoying a light snack. Sitting sweetly on a plastic chair with piled legs. From a distance, Fina looked over. His steps from earlier faltered. Back and forth. Doubtful. He intends to ask for the Doctor's business card to take a counseling schedule. But there is not a single shred of courage to approach the doctor who graduated from the best University in Canberra, Australia. Fina surrendered. He turned his body, was about to leave. Besides, he didn't want to interrupt the doctor's rest.
“Hei!” The bass voice of someone stopped Fina's steps.
Fina turned around, undoing her intention to leave. Doctor Gerald walked up to him.
“There can I help?” Gerald seemed to be able to guess the contents of Fina's heart from the look of her face.
Fina was silent for a moment. “I want to take a counseling schedule, can?”
The 23-year-old smiled kindly. “Of course.”
Gerald took a business card from his jaz pocket. “This is my business card. You can call the number on this card. There is an address where I open a practice also there.”
Fina received the card from the Doctor's hand.
“There again?” Gerald asked about Fina's other needs.
Fina quickly shook her head. “Neg. Thanks, Doc.”
Gerald mangosteen. His smile has not faded.
It's freaky. Fina did not feel any symptoms of anxiety at all when she met the doctor. His mind is well controlled. His heart is beating normally. His breath flows smoothly. He felt safe near her. Is it because he's a doctor? So that you can understand Fina's condition?
Fina walks out of the Mall, takes home the Doctor Handsome's business card.
