In panic I kept calling Malvin's name. His body continued to convulse as if in great pain. I also started crying.
“Vin, don't be rich gini dong. Even if I hate the same lo, but if you are rich gini I worry tau.”
“We'll call the doctor, Van.”
I think Ranti's advice is correct. Otherwise I don't know what will happen to Malvin. We don't know him ourselves why. I immediately took the phone out of my pants pocket. But I haven't pressed the number yet, Malvin took my hand. His eyes bulged and he also stuck his tongue out at me.
“Yee you guys got prank..”
Malvin stood up and laughed out loud. I looked at him in wonder. Ranti and Tara snorted in annoyance. They ruffled Malvin's hair and beat him with their hands.
“According to you it's funny? Want to drink some more bitter melon juice? Basic byebelin! Go home!” Tara kept yelling at Malvin. Malvin's laughter grew louder.
I just kept quiet looking at them. Malvin approached me and pulled my cheek.
“Ngalamun lo? Tumben didn't join me?”
I pulled Malvin's hand and took him a bit away from Ranti and Tara. I started looking at him seriously. But Malvin kept laughing.
“Not lie lo.”
“What lie? Lo why the hell, Van?”
“Not funny! I know you weren't pretending. You really are sick, right? Then why now you use to say that it's prank?”
“Yes is prank. I want your bales because it made me drink bitter melon juice. What is lo.”
“Gue know when you lie or you are honest. I also ngrasain sweat on your hands, lo expression, lo it's really pain, right? What's the pain, Vin? You accidentally closed it off from me and the others, right?”
“Yes, Vanella. Since when did you become mellow gini same me?”
“Gue does not like to be lied to, let alone my own friends! I hate liars the most!”
I left Malvin. I wrote the books that were still on the table. I was about to enter the house leaving them, but Tara stopped me.
“Loh, where are you going, Van?”
“Gue is not in the mood. I'll go in first. You guys continue on.”
“Vin, how apan Vanella?” Tara immediately blamed Malvin for seeing my changed behavior after talking to Malvin.
“I am nothing. Tau tuh temen lo freak.”
“Lo the weird.” I shouted back to Malvin's reply.

I sat alone on the bench in front of the class during the break. Ranti and Tara are still in class.
“Gue to say the same lo.” The voice I liked the most suddenly sounded near me.
I stood up and looked at him sharply.
“What else is it, El? No tired of bothering me? When I was in 10th grade I still appreciate lo, I can still be good lo, but over time you make me more uncomfortable. I can no longer be kind to you. Actually what the hell is your problem the same me?”
“Lo don't realize what your mistake is? I was wrong to be my rival here. I should have been the most popular girl here rich when I was Junior High. Lo with a sweet lo mask is very brave enough to call my position.”
“That's doang? Are you in school just chasing popularity? Yes, popular or not is not important to me. I went to school for my future. Not just to get rich attention lo!”
“Udah-already I males denger lecture lo. I want to go to the point. Lo apain Arka anyway? From this morning I saw him crumpled in the face. He was very angry again. Lo if you can not be happy Arka do not need to macarin him.”
“Why not ask the person directly? How can you interfere with my personal problems with Arka? No work really.”
“Lo don't care about Arka? Pantesan Arka so make mepetin me.”
“What do you mean? Don't be too excited!”
“Gue has proof.”
Ellisa showed me the contents of Arka's message. Arka tried to seduce him. I was surprised to see their chat.
“Or still don't believe?”
Ellisa stepped towards the 11th grade IPA1. There Arka was standing chatting with her friends. As soon as Ellisa came and greeted her, Arka returned Ellisa's greeting so sweetly. They chatted at such a close distance. They look so familiar. Arka always smiles when talking to Ellisa. Unable to bear the jealousy that started burning me, I approached them.
“Arka!”
Just about to step closer to him, Arka who was looking at me with her vexed expression immediately stepped away. I tried to chase him, but he forbade me.
“Not come after me. Urusin aja temen beloved lo it.”
Apparently he was still angry because at that time I left him just like that and chose to accompany Malvin in the UKS. I don't heed his words. I'm facing right in front of him.
“Ka, are you angry? Excuse me. Do you know what Malvin was doing?”
“I'm not angry. I'm just jealous because my girlfriend is more considerate of other guys.”
“That's not real. Please don't be angry again.”
“OK. Later in the afternoon I am soccer exkul ya.”
“Iya. I must have nemenin you.”
“Ke canteen yuk.”
I'm nodding. He took my hand. As I walked I kept looking at him. I was happy whenever I was around him and could look at him this close. Her eyes and smile are my favorite things to look at.
“Why do I keep writing?”
“Can't? That's why I saw another guy.”
I turned my eyes to the guys who were playing basketball. Arka swiftly closed my eyes.
“No can! Don't the other lyrics.”
Arka opened my eyes and turned my face until now I faced her.
“You can only look at me.”
“Egoist basis.”
“Biarina. Your Vanella Arka.”
I smiled hearing it. We kept joking while walking to the cafeteria.

It's time to go home from school. I prepared to put the books in my bag.
“Lo first yes. I want to nemenin Arka exkul.”
“And we have excul as well?”
“Gue permission once. Arka wants me to go. Don't you think I didn't join the badminton this time? Sorry.”
“Start the bucinnya. Does he not dare to be stopped? Hmmm, it's okay. I'm first yes.”
“Iya.”
“Van, I also first yes. I am loyal to my exkul volleyball. Not rich. For the sake of nemenin girlfriend willing to leave exculpated. What two romantic lovebirds,” led Tara.
“Let's have a girlfriend look out for you if ngebucin too.”
“That's business later. What matters is that I am single now. More freely. No one rumbles and does not have to take care of people's children.”
“Udah there go away. Want me to olesin cabe?”
“Kabur ah's. Princess ferociously getting angry.” Tara ran out while sticking out her tongue.
I rushed to the cafeteria to buy a bottle of water for Arka. After that I headed to the field. I looked around me, looking for Arka's whereabouts. He who was tying his shoelaces smiled at me and waved his hand. I also approached him directly.
“Hai prospective national team players. Again get ready?”
“Iya, the future wife of the national team player. Wow really this cemented?”
“Pastya dong. Here I bring you a drink. If thirsty directly to the sidelines.
“Ndon't need. Look at your smile just thirsty and tired I've lost.”
“Basic gombal.”
“I stay first yes.”
“OK. Spirit.”
I gave my sweetest smile before I ran to the sidelines. There it turns out that there are also many students who are accompanying their girlfriends. At least I'm not alone. I patiently waited for Arka to finish. Even though the weather was hot, but being able to keep watching him play football gave a coolness in me.
When he finished, Arka immediately ran towards me. I also gave her a bottle of water I brought for her. But suddenly Ellisa came and offered a bottle of drink as well.
“You're tired, right? Here I bring you a drink,” said Ellisa.
“Neventless. I brought Arka.”
Arka looked at the two of us with a confused face. He took the bottle we were holding.
“Not a fuss. I drank all. El, thanks ya.”
“Sama-sama.”
Ellisa wiped Arka's sweat with her handkerchief. Instead of trying to dodge, Arka instead let her be as if unaware of my presence next to her.
Suddenly Alby came and snorted in annoyance. He looked at Arka with sharp eyes.
“Experience lo, Ka!”
“Why do you dateng-dateng instantly angry? What's the problem in your life?” reply Arka casually.
“Lo is problematic! Your girl is next to you, but you're even justin other girls are dawning your dry. Can't appreciate the feelings of your girl?”
“Vanella diem. He's ordinary, why are you the sewot?”
“She diem doesn't mean she's not jealous. Appreciate dong! He already nemenin lo hot-warm gini, you even hurt him.”
“Emang what's my fault? There are two girls who care for me, and I have to be indifferent to one of them?”
“Can-can you say that. I have no heart! I don't care if you deket me from small!”
Alby started to get emotional. His hands began to clench as if preparing to give Arka a hard blow. Before things got worse, I tried to temper his anger.
“Al, already. I'm not papa. You don't have to be angry gini.”
“See, babe. Your hero is the one who cares about you the most. This is what makes me not feel like dating you. You're surrounded by a lot of guys like this. How can I hold?”
“What do you mean? Ka, he just temen me. It's natural he cares about me.”
“You do not need to be plain pretended to not know that those who are close to you like you. The cement? Oh temen's. Okay if that's not wrong dong I am friendly with Ellisa on the grounds Ellisa is my deket friend.” Arka embraces Ellisa. While Ellisa smiled cunningly at me.
“I think dapetin chick hits in this school can further increase my popularity. It turned out to make me look like a bego boy among other bego guys who are chasing the same girl,” continued Arka.
My chest felt tight to hear Arka's words and to see her attitude like that. I could hardly believe that the one before me right now was Arka. With a sigh, I tried to hold back my tears from dripping. Alby's face turned bright red hearing Arka's words. My hand tried to hold him back who was about to approach Arka.
“So all this time just for popularity? Thanks.”
I pulled Alby's hand and ran away from Arka. After being away from the field, I stopped and started crying.
“Van, please don't cry. Lo don't pantes nangisin rich guy her.”
“Al, I can't believe I'm horrifying it from the mouth of Arka.”
Alby started to wipe away the tears that were dripping down my cheeks. He took me to sit down and kept wiping my head while comforting me.
“Bentar yes. Wait here.”
Alby left me for a moment. He soon returned with two ice creams.
“Eat this ice cream. You like ice cream, right?”
“Al, I no longer want to eat or drink anything.”
“But if you cry again, you have to eat ice cream. Let your tears freeze. So you don't cry anymore.”
“Apaan sih lo. Not funny.”
“Indeed, who is joking? Cepet shrimp eaten before melting.”
I wiped my tears and received the ice cream. My heart started to calm down as soon as I ate it.
“Still yes, Al. If there is no lo I already cry alone and do not know what to do.”
“And people will think that lo kuntilanak who again cry.”
“Kok is?”
“Chick with long hair unraveled and white shirt sitting alone crying, what if not kuntilanak?”
I hit his hand. For a moment I could smile because of Alby.
