JANUARY AND MAHENDRA

13. Dan Mahendra Beach.

...____________❁❁❁..˗ˏˋ 'ˎ˗..❁❁❁__________...

Gantari walked hurriedly towards the room of Mr. Samsul, he had to immediately gather his duties. Lucky once his laptop does not die again, his data was fully restored by Mahendra. There are benefits to also coexist with the man, although sometimes it does have to be extra patient but not what now Gantari so know other advantages of Mahendra that is computer service.

That's worth being proud of, isn't it? Because almost never Gantari saw the advantages, because according to him Mahendra is full of surprises, unpredictable and dead ends.

Mahendra is strange and annoying but at one time he was able to show that he also has advantages, and that is true. Gantari does not really pin what is the attraction of Mahendra but the man can most make Gantari's life become colorful. As Mahendra once said, "you don't have to be the most colorful, you just live it is enough. Yes, although your contribution is not much appreciated by people, but it is already very cool to be considered human."

Arriving at the room of the samsul pack, he found Tiyan discussing something with Samsul sir. Gantari entered politely and then closed the office door again stepped up while tidying up his appearance until he stood right on the side of the office desk Mr. Samsul.

Gantari handed over the blue map to Mr. Samsul, "You're bumping up the task of yesterday sir".

"Ooh yaya" said Mr. Samsul.

"Well, there is Gantari here so all of you, you help Tiyan for high school nyari for your project" continued Mr. Samsul.

The girl just nodded, saying yes, then after getting some direction from Mr. Samsul and tips for the final project of his lecture Gantari of course will be more excited because if he succeeds he can get additional value, and of course it's very profitable.

Both of them had come out of the office space, Mr. Samsul then walked hand in hand, but Tiyan was still focused on some documents that were in his grasp.

"Gan, I don't think I can find the place. This is because my work is very much, out of this there is a meeting not to mention meeting with Damar. How about nyo nyari himself? Or don't ngajakin Ningsih let his lo there was a temen." Tiyan said for a moment after stopping her steps.

"Oh, okay, I'll try to ngajakin Ningsih"

Gantari really understands how busy Tiyan is to be a final-level student in addition to himself who is the chairman of Komting who does have responsibilities and duties that are not playing games

"Yaudah, I unplug first. Must prepare for the meeting. Later if already dapet school info first to me" said Tiyan then passed leaving Gantari after getting a nod of understanding from the girl.

Gantari then reached into his phone which was on a mint green cardigan then called Ningsih.

...____________❁❁❁..˗ˏˋ 'ˎ˗..❁❁❁__________...

Gantari has finished his class today, he only has one task, which is to find a school that will be his project.

He began to come out of the campus building and saw Mahendra who had been straddling on his antique motorbike while tidying up the hair that had covered his eyes.

Do not ask why there is Mahendra who has been waiting in front of the building like this, apparently Gantari has no friends other than Mahendra. Yes, Ninggsih was not able to accompany him to the survey to find a school for his project because today Ningsih is very busy, do not forget if Ningsih is a private tutor in mandarin. In addition to graduating as a psychologist, Ningsih also has a bachelor's degree in education in his first study.

"Rempong is so you're a guy!!!" Cetus Gantari when he saw Mahen still tidying his hair.

"Let's be more handsome, Gan" said Mahen turned to look at Gantari who was in front of him. Then he restored his hair, basically Mahendra wanted to just caper with Gantari, the only time the girl fell in love with Mahen did not know.

"Beautiful, but yes Free handsome if not sane!" Read Gantari, then he again said, "it's in vain doang lo have a handsome face but your behavior is strange!"

Mahendra chuckled, "means you say I'm handsome."

"No, who said?"

"Lo said I was handsome" Mahendra joked that made Gantari suddenly blinked his eyes several times, while thinking about the sentence he had said.

"Which part?? I just say free handsome if not sane, it means you are not handsome but crazy!!!"

"In the beginning of the sentence you say, 'bull anyway'. Well that means you again muji I'm handsome"

"Gue naro alesannya in the next sentence loh!!!"

"Bodo is very important you muji I am handsome, wahh do I need to make this thanksgiving." Mahendra immediately sumringah did not believe that Gantari praised himself handsome, but if remembered that this girl never praised him.

Gantari sighed tired while shaking his head did not end thinking, "my grandfather long talking about lo!"

"So how's this?" Mahendra asked, which made Gantari turn her eyes back to look at Mahendra.

"What's the matter?" Instead of answering, Gantari asked back.

"Yes, you told me to come here. Tumbenan asked for my help".

Ah, indeed Gantari has not said this to Mahen?. "I haven't talked to you yet?"

The man shook his head, "what the hell?"

"That-that helps me find a school for a youth project." Lirih Gantari with a little prestige.

"Yaudah ayok kuy" Mahendra chuckled and immediately agreed, the man seemed to be holding back his smile. "Nih use!" Mahendra continued, handing over his only helmet to use Gantari. As always.

"Lo, how?" Asked the girl a little touched by the simple treatment of the man, she indeed preferred not to wear a helmet than Gantari who did not wear it. Mahendra said, if there is something to protect, why not?.

"Relax, later I can buy again" said Mahendra casually.

Huasemmmm. Gantari thought, Mahendra was cosplayed into a romantic man turned out to be the same.

Gantari then put on his helmet with a look of annoyed face, visible from his pursed lips.

...____________❁❁❁..˗ˏˋ 'ˎ˗..❁❁❁__________...

Arriving in high school, Gantari gets off Mahendra's antique motorcycle.

The man actually bought a new helmet, he said he had money so he better use it to buy a helmet only. The problem is if waiting for Gantari who bought it himself it will take a long time maybe until the girl forgets.

Then the old helmet he gave to Gantari, the girl was okay, especially if the free money was enough savings to buy a helmet that he had collected could be used for other things.

But honestly, even though this is an old helmet and is often used by Mahendra somehow still smelled fragrant typical Mahendra. Gantari could not explain what the smell was like but it was very refreshing almost the same as the denim jacket the man wore. Gantari only to wonder, why the smell of Mahendra fragrance becomes so durable like that so that his clothes this time also exposed to the distinctive smell of Mahendra when they do not touch at all.

By the way Mahendra helmet used by Gantari is a bogo helmet that has no glass, the hook is not working properly, sometimes jammed yes eleven twelve is the same Mahendra. Just relax Gantari can release it himself so don't expect any romantic scenes from a Mahendra.

"Wait here, or come?" Mahendra asked as he treated his hair for the umpteenth time.

"It's up to you" indifferent Gantari then left Mehendra who is still straddling on his bike.

Mahendra snorted, he could not if he lived alone in a public place like this that there would even be seduced by the same school gardener. "Eh wait!!!". The man caught up with Gantari who was already walking towards the ordinance room.

There are about 30 minutes both sitting waiting for the teacher BK who still has a teaching schedule. Silence, no one at all started the conversation because in the room BK only the two of them until finally the teacher who had been waiting for them came and immediately sat right in front of them.

"Oh, I'm sorry Mba, old man. You see, it was perfect for students who missed school" said the female teacher was polite but sounded sorry.

"Yes no papa kok ma'am, we are also no longer in a hurry" said Gantari with a smile.

"So how? Can I help you?" Ask Sinta ma'am.

"Oh yes, previously introduce us from UNiV I happen to be from the Faculty of Psychology can be a task of the supervising lecturer to survey children who get obstacles during school. If this school allows for this project, we would be very grateful. I am also not alone ma'am, later there will be other friends of mine participate in this activity." Gantari.

"That's a big plus, it's really positive to know the problems of children who really can't tell directly." Said bu Sinta approved the project request, then Gantari submitted some documents containing the submission proposal.

After saying goodbye to Ms. Sinta, then the two left the school area.

"Temenin me to a place yuk Gan" Mahendra invited shortly after they arrived in the parking lot.

"God, I'm tired of going home"

"Bent on doang, Gan. I just nemenin lo. Now replace my lo temenin" pinta Mahen, his eyes turned to sparkle very adorable, Gantari felt like wanting to pull Mahendra's head right now.

"Where the hell!?" Ask Gantari, "look out for me if I'm going to some weird place!!!" He added with a cautious tone but seemed threatening.

"Yes, you wear this helmet" said Mahen handed the new helmet to wear Gantari, then Mahen wear his old helmet without glass and hook.

...____________❁❁❁..˗ˏˋ 'ˎ˗..❁❁❁__________...

Mahen drove his bike casually, he seemed to enjoy every road they passed.

The wind began to hit and hold the speed of Mahen's bike but he still enjoyed it.

Far away Gantari can guess where Mahen took him. With the sky that is completely orange just above the tidal wave.

Gantari's heart thumped at the sight of how terrifying the waves were. Why did Mahen take her to the beach?.

"Samme now!!!" jovial Mahen turned his head back and then opened the helmet hook belonging to Gantari..

Instantly Mahen gasped to see Gantari who had closed his eyes and was still speechless not to get off the bike, the grip on the side of his waist began to tighten, Gantari crept strong jeans jacket and Mahen T-shirt.

"Gan, why?" Mahen asked in panic and worry.

"L-lo why bring me here anyway?" Replied Gantari with a stammering tone, the scratches on his jacket were getting stronger.

Gantari hated the beach, the wind and the sound of the waves were as terrifying as if they wanted to drown him.

"Just go home" Gantari asked still not want to open her eyes.

Mahen's hand took off the helmet in Gantari and then accidentally Wind pulled the hair of the responsibility of this girl.

Mahen glued for a moment and allowed Gantari's hair to fall apart.

Mahen chuckled, "open his eyes first".

"So!"

"Why the hell? Good at the view. He said he likes to see the sunset."

Gantari shook her hand still clutching Mahen's jacket, afraid that this man would leave. "Fear of a Tsunami!".

Mahen even chuckled, "there will be no Tsunami Gantari, trust me"

"So,!!! last time I believed you left me"

"Holy son of suudzon mulu"

"Gak Mahen, Go home aja yukk, I swear I don't like my lo giniin yah!!"

"Yes open your eyes first, I promise. You can hold it to my waist if you're afraid I'm gone"

With his fear Gantari slowly opened his eyes and the first sight he saw was Mahendra. Yes Mahen who was smiling proud and so sweet that Gantari managed to fight his fear.

This girl occasionally blinked her eyes with her severed breath. Mahen grabbed Gantari's trembling hand and held it. This man does not know if this girl has trauma with the beach, but Mahen thinks that Gantari really likes beach paintings especially paintings displayed in the art room by Juna.

"Could you believe I'm the same now?"

Gantari did not answer, she was still trying to neutralize her breath.

"Now try to see the sky, do not need to see the beach first" Mahen's orders lead Gantari to see the sky that is now completely dead.

"Gantari, actually lo it does not hate the same beach, but the same sea. The same depth it has. Lo is too far away to see the bad things behind the beauty of the beach" said this man while enjoying the afternoon breeze and then his eyes turned to look at the girl behind him.

"Can't, as beautiful as any beach that you see does not mean I can see the beauty of it too. This is the same as I can enjoy dragon fruit every morning but lo lenggak-" said Gantari returned Mahen's eyes intently with his eyes narrowed slightly. Sentence ceased.

"-Fear Mahen" continued Gantari, his eyes closed again after the afternoon wind was coming at him.

"We are here if you are afraid, we see it from here" Mahen's voice sounded softly beat the sound of the roar of the tidal waves.

They chose not to move from the top of the antique motorbike. Mahen sideways facing the beach directly, but different from Gantari who chose to sit facing Mahen. Gantari's hand never let go of her grip. He is now too scared, afraid if Mahen leaves him, then Tsunami comes to eliminate the girl, the beach is now really scary.

"Mahen, you don't seem to have any fear, do you?" ask Gantari suddenly.

This man just snorted, "who said?" Mahen looked at the girl beside him.

"gue never saw you scared about it"

"Gue was afraid of grandma lo" the man shrieked along with the wind of the beach blowing. Then at the end of his sentence Mahen slightly advanced his body closer to Gantari, "gue is also afraid of lo".

Instantly this man smiled then laughed crisply after he pulled his hut in its original position.

The laughter of Mahen in the taste of Gantari is very far from the word happy laughter. The man's pain was almost very invisible, his cherry was too dominant and the pain was too much to cover.

Gantari turned to look at Mahen who was being closed enjoying the waves and the wind. Now the girl's gaze seems locked on only one object, namely Mahendra.

If this time he could be honest, what a beautiful Mahen is now beyond the tinge of twilight that began to fade. And today, Gantari has just realized the calming thing of a Mahendra.

There were times when he had to take his eyes off the scary thing, from the beach and the sea that was far there on the waves that were now moving closer as if approaching Gantari and then dunking it. Gantari finds out something new this time, that behind the scary thing he only needs to find at least one thing to just divert him, and this time he can turn all those bad views on Mahendra, the most annoying man on earth.

Without Gantari noticing, he also enjoyed this scene. The view is more beautiful than the twilight above. A sight that he could even reach and he held. On the sidelines of observing Mahendra who was closing his eyes he smiled long enough to just appreciate the scenery that might be quite rare. But in the next minute Gantari began to realize the thing that had just happened to his feelings.

"Mahendra, Lo today is very happy." muttered Gantari still staring at Mahen's eyes that closed, Gantari again felt this feeling, Gantari again, the feeling that made his heart feel even more pounding when he saw Mahen with his calm state.

Right, Gantari's starting to like it. Perhaps for the simple thing that Mahendra is doing now unbeknownst to him, Gantari begins to like the calm nature of a Mahendra.

"Mahendra, you are like a trough. The deeper I understand you, the deeper I get stuck until I can't get back to the surface and find a way out."
