JANUARY AND MAHENDRA

15. Favorite song.

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

Tonight is the last night of November. If Gantari usually ends up blowing candles with her father, this year she spends just falling asleep and wakes up at 00:00 just to wish her father a happy birthday.

He said that this year he could not go home, but as much as possible will still go home in January.

Sometimes Gantari feels that his father has now been too hard to work especially his age is not young anymore, just earlier he had complained that his back is now often linu. If only the Father was in his seat, Gantari would make sure that he would nag the Father every time.

He still missed his father when he had called for an hour until finally Gantari fell asleep again while listening to his father's singing. The song he sang every time he was on his birthday.

I lay My Love On You from Westlife, the voice of his father who will always be cool to hear even though he does not memorize the lyrics, but he memorized the tone. Gantari would have chuckled every time his father said I love You at the end of each of his lyrics as an end to his favorite song.

He said in January next Father will go home and will celebrate Gantari's birthday as last January, hopefully next January will be better. His father will keep his promise, right? He's leaving all his work to go home, right? She must also miss her lover, one year did not meet and did not visit the mother's house which may have been filled with grass and lily flowers in her navel was dry. He had to replace it with a new lily, right?.

From the room next door is an acoustic version of Westlife Better Man sung live by Mahen. Gantari slowly opened her eyes reluctant to get out of her bed. Mahen's voice is sometimes like an Alarm that makes Gantari growled every time she hears Mahendra's voice, but this time it feels like Gantari wants to go back to sleep. His voice this time was too polite to enter his ears, along with the accompaniment of a guitar that makes it more beautiful. He even forgot the one thing that became Mahendra's advantage, namely his voice when the man sang.

How do you lose the one you love? (how do you lose?)

After giving it all, you gave it up

And maybe my love wasn't enough

You think you know, but you never can

And how do you lose your only plan?

Just give me one more chance

And I'll give you everything I have

I'll try to be a better man

Gantari chuckled as the song finished, she began to rise from her bed.

"Tumben singing Better Man, usually My Love" said Gantari with a slightly hardened voice intending for Mahen to hear his voice.

"I sang My Love entar lo bosen dengernya" said Mahen from his room while putting his guitar.

"Mahen,-" said Gantari cut off, "My father didn't come home today" Gantari then looked down on his finger. "It feels so lonely, even though today is Dad's birthday I should be able to celebrate the birthday with Dad".

"Happy birthday for your father, I pray in the middle of my heart just let the taste of his nyampe" said Mahendra while folding his blanket.

Gantari who was across there could only pry her smile withholding the waves, "you prayers can't possibly get stuck right?" Ledek the girl

"Lo guess kite use event haunt everything" Mahendra then collected.

Gantari then chuckled at Mahendra's response, the man was indeed very pleasant just that Gantari was late to admit it

"Gan, if you need someone who is able to stop your loneliness. Dateng to I Gan, I am ready to be the person you need the most. You now no longer need to worry if I'm lost because I've never been anywhere." Said Mahendra after he leaned his back on the wall of his room with the room Gantari.

"Lo is not really suitable to talk seriously like that, the image lo in my brain is a quail"

Mahendra chuckled, "Gue was seriously thought to be joking, his joking turn was thought to be crazy. I have never really been in your eyes".

"Yes, don't be serious, because you're stranger to being serious"

Because in fact the seriousness of Mahendra can never be measured real. As is the case, Mahendra will go back to doing silly things when Gantari starts taking it seriously.

"Mahen, you don't miss the lo family?" Ask Gantari who immediately made Mahen immediately blocked. His heart seemed to stop for a moment.

"Kangen anyway, but males aja make it home" kekeh Mahen.

"Lo if you go home to Jogja take me well. I want to take the train"

Mahen chuckled after hearing Mahendra's statement which turned out to be unexpected. Mahendra thought that Gantari would ask far and wide about his family, where he came from, and how Mahendra could survive.

"Yuk ah ntar I took you on the train. Today I'm clamoring"

"Today there will be a project, Mahen" Gantari sighed.

"Yaudah finished your project, I'm going to Jogja"

"Seriously yes?"

Mahen just cleared his throat accompanied by the lips that are interested in carving a smile.

"Prepare, I manasin motor first"

"Where?"

"To the college!!!"

"Oiya forgot, hehehe"

_________________♡♡♡________________

Mr. Samsul has stood by in front of the psychology faculty while looking at his watch continuously and occasionally raise his glasses are declining.

Followed by Tiyan and Damar who had just come also approached the Samsul pack.

"Which other one?" Ask Mr. Samsul to Tiyan.

"Tuh" pointed Tiyan to Gantari and Mahen who had just arrived at the campus area.

Then followed by Nathan who just got out of his black BMW X6 car did not forget the camera canon which is always hanging on his neck. With a face full of smiles Nathan approached his already assembled project team.

"All I've collected, right?" Ask Mr. Samsul to all the students who were in front of him.

"Ningsih has not arrived, he said again earlier" said Gantari as he looked at the campus gate.

"Otw where is this? Later even new otw shower" said Mr. Samsul with a sewot tone.

"Tuh" pointed Gantari at the girl with shoulder-length hair that he decorated with a small clasp over his ear seen running and standing right next to Gantari and whispered, "sorry for a long time about the motorcycle broke down"

"Have you?" Ask Mr. Samsul once again.

"For a while, my friend has not come" said Mahen who successfully made everyone look full of questions.

Gantari then looked at Mahendra with questions, Who else? This has been most members, thought to want to study tour times. What's more this is Mahendra, because his friends are all pigs.

And sure enough the friend Mahen brought was Luke. This man looks to be carrying a frisk containing some foam that is somehow contained.

"Anjir lo Mahen, I was told to bring this!!!" Having just arrived at the project team, Lukas had complained full of protest.

"Eh, there's neng ningsih" as Luke's tone changed after seeing ningsih who also participated in this project.

Lukas immediately put up a face of calm then stood right beside Ningsih and was still straddling the large crackle.

Ningsih just smiled, just want this child in all crocodile seduction throughout the faculty of business economics.

"Okay, we're leaving now. Nathan and Tiyan take the car, we share it. Gantari, Ningsih same Luke you're in Nathan's car. Keep the rest to Tiyan's car". Obviously Mr. Samsul

"Eh no sir, Gantari is the same as me riding a motorcycle" Mahen quickly got a gaze from Gantari.

"Nobody's got a bike, so nobody's going!!!" Reject sir Samsul.

"I'm the same Gantari fix sir"

"Yes sir, Mahen exchanged Luke" proposed Tiyan and immediately got a nod from Mr. Samsul.

"Well, is that it? kan did not be a car with Ningsih neng" protested Lukas annoyed while removing the friction containing foam that he had input into the trunk of Nathan's car.

"Why are we out again?" Ask Mahen in wonder.

"I want to move to Tiyan's car" Lukas replied casually.

"Lo's just moving, the food doesn't need" geget Mahen.

"Oiya well, really" said Lukas, patting his eel and then running after Tiyan and Damar. "Bye bye neng Ningsih"

Ningsih just smiled holding back her laughter.

Gantari who was just about to get into the front seat was already ambushed first by Mahen, "lo back!" inevitably he had to move to the back seat with Ningsih. This is actually Mahen why else anyway?, whereas Gantari really wants to sit next to Nathan while holding his hand or just watching Nathan driving.

Mahen let out a long sigh as his eyes looked at Nathan. This child's facility is fully equipped by the father. Just look at BMW cars that cost around 3 Billion and do not hesitate to give it to his favorite child.

It is very different from Mahendra who only uses his old motorcycle.

The car started leaving the campus area to go to Pelita Bakti High School.

"Nathan, play the song dong.!!!" Gantari.

"Request what song?" Nathan asked and from his rearview mirror looks Gantari is thinking about what song is suitable for his trip this time.

"As much as you"

Then play the song from Niki - Lowkey until replaced with the song Ariana Grande - Position.

Nathan is famous for his love of Western music. Judging from the playlist clearly displayed on his car monitor. Luxury car fit once carried by a person as cool as Nathan.

On the other hand, the very Mahen tumben is not noisy. It's usually the loudest to be in a car like this.

Mahen fell asleep along the way, maybe not or maybe he just closed his eyes?.

Gantari felt strange, from earlier he was busy looking at Mahen who was a henchman in front.

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

Mahen still remained silent along the way, until Ningsih was surprised by Mahen at this time.

Yeah well, everyone would be weird to see it. A normally noisy person suddenly becomes quiet like this is really not the usual Mahendra.

Just half way, Ningsih voiced trying to ask the state of Mahen, this time the child was silent because of the vehicle mabok.

"Mas Mahen, I brought Antimo" Ningsih said, offering a tablet of Antimo with hesitation.

Mahen looked back with a puzzled look visible with a frown on his forehead. But seconds after her he accepted too.

"Lo really mabok vehicle?" Ask Gantari to worry.

"Somewhat" Mahen replied shaking his head.

"Well that's Antimo from Ningsih why did you accept it?"

Ningsih only smiled as she nodded.

"Duh, Ningsih is ashen as you are"

"Why?" Ask Ningsih.

"Bother"

Sontak Gantari looked at Mahen julid,

just want to vomit.

Nathan who had been focusing on his wheel occasionally chuckled peek at Gantari's cute expression as he watched Mahen tease Ningsih.

"Udah ih Mahen, I was disgusted. Mending you sleep rich earlier"

"Gantari, are you jealous? Yes, yes napa. Are you jealous, right??" said Mahen teasingly Gantari who was still with her julid gaze.

"Gue's? Of jealousy? Huh.. Not it!! Yakali" he said then slipped his eyes out the car window.

Mahen looked up at Gantari's expression that was being sewed and upset so.

Their car began to enter the SMA PELITA BAKTI area After an hour of travel they finally arrived.

Mr. Samsul became the driver for the project this time. Participation of Mr. Samsul to Middle School is only to check and a little ask the school to help the implementation of the duties of his children.

Then after talking with Sinta as a Counseling Guidance teacher from the school, Mr. Samsul approached the children who were in the waiting room.

"You can start the project, you can get permission from the school. Later, just coordinate with any class BK teacher who today there is a BK maple schedule, you can start a survey at that hour first. After his can take in another maple lesson hours but also coordination with the maple teacher related, ask for time and place" explained Mr. Samsul and immediately in response understood by everyone.

"Tiyan, I leave this task to you. If there's anything, just call me. I want to go home first, laper has not had breakfast" he continued.

Just a step away from Tiyan and comrades, Mr. Samsul turned back. "Oiya, here I bring one yes" he said as he took one foam that had been brought by Luke. "Eh, another one for my son"

Wanna be surprised, but that's Mr. Samsul.

"Okay, we did this task yesterday, and the data is also held by Gantari. I coordinated with teacher BK. Later I, Damar, Gantari, Ningsih and Nathan just go in together . We take 2 classes just for documentation so not most of the time. Survey information later we ask directly to the teacher BK"

"Why are we both doing it?" Luke's question pointed to himself and Mahen who was right next to him for being unable to divide. Salah Lukas joined when everything has got a part of the task. You know, Lukas would not have agreed to Mahendra's invitation yesterday that said he would take him to a place where he could enjoy what life is.

"Lo on the consumption part" said Damar.

"Judge behind, later the foam is divided into students. Do not all first, if enough for the rest of the class nitip in the TU room. Luke bring foam and Mahen bring his soft drink" Tiyan arranged.

"Oh Allah, the caseps were also told to take it with them. Dah rich salesman" Luke sighed accepting all the provisions from Tiyan.

"Patience is also Bestie" Mahen said, patting Luke on the shoulder as if receiving it.

"Tau gini mending hanging out to the faculty of eye washing medicine" said Lukas with his head lowered.

"Lift your head and look at something ahead" Mahen put his bestie in his arms and lifted Luke's head and looked at the few high school students walking in front of him in shame.

Luke became excited and excited to participate in this project after he was shown with a girl who was no less beautiful and clear with medical school students.

There's no harm, is there?

"Kiw" Luke teases some of the schoolgirls who come to change the marker and pick up the projector.

All the project team just shook their heads, Mahen just smiled amusedly.

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

"Eat in front of the class first" ask Damar and immediately in the response 'okay' by Mahen and Luke.

They both drop their foam and soft drinks right on the outskirts of the classroom, if not blocking passers-by.

Tiyan took the lead by entering the class first and suddenly made the students in the class very amazed with the visual Tiyan which was almost very similar to the manga characters who had just come out of the comics.

Not only her students, all her students were also wide-eyed not believing that there were humans who had such faces.

"Kazuto Kirigaya looks like nothing?" Tapping one of the male students while closing his mouth that was almost round so he could not believe it. "Waahhh, less red polish this one"

"Crazy, what a human Anime is. The face of the cake is not human" said the student's friend who sat next to him.

After getting permission from the BK teacher and making a frenzy of one class, Tiyan's friends entered the class after getting command from her. Then march to introduce yourself.

"Good morning everyone, actually it's a bit late this afternoon well but not papa. Introduce us from UNiV, my name is Tiyan." Tiyan started to introduce herself.

"Then beside me there are Damar, Gantari, Ningsih, Nathan, Mahendra and Lukas" Tiyan continued while introducing and appointing his friends one by one.

"Our goal here is to survey and record children who experience stress during school and what your goals will be after graduating from this school. Later we love a paper in which you are free to write what your feelings are. Write something that you might not be able to express with the word l-word. Free your minds".

Gantari and Ningsih began to distribute papers that would later become a medium for students here.

Nathan moved to the back after taking some photos from the front. Instead of seeing and listening to the explanation from Tiyan the rest of the class suddenly shifted his attention to Nathan who was walking backwards.

Nathan seemed to shift the focus of these High School girls because of his charm when shooting. Everyone was amazed by what was attached to Nathan's body.

"Sister Nathan, don't you like coffee?" Asked one of the girls with curly hair to Nathan who was standing right next to him.

Nathan smiled in response to the girl's question, "Yes, like it"

"Sama brother, I like Nathan's brother too". Suddenly the schoolgirl immediately salting herself with a fistfight she made, her countryman was seen participating in salting when getting a small glance from Nathan.

Nathan chuckled then shook his head to see the adorable behavior of some schoolgirls who were teasing him.

"Sister Nathan don't smile, I'll get diabetic"

"The sugar at home is exhausted"

"Don't forget to stop by the house, brother, who knows at the blessing mamah"

Seduced by just a clumsy smile, Nathan is indeed the universe to make everyone crazy. He breathed it felt like it had made the students want to faint on the spot.

Do not ask what Mahendra did with Lukas, they were busy teasing the beautiful hooded high school student who was sitting right in front of a corner near the entrance.

Luke, please don't you stain the schoolgirl in the hood. God be a weak student of faith.!!!

Actually, the one who was teasing was not the two of them but only Luke, since Mahen's gaze was fixed on Gantari who was giving a briefing and consultation to the students who were confused.

Nathan photographed the rare moment, then the next second Nathan smiled his smile while looking back at the results of his shots.

It is very clear that Mahendra is storing feelings for the shoulder-haired girl who is busy pacing .

Here is the first time Nathan saw the eyes of a sparkling Mahendra, from a distance alone still very clearly visible happy Mahendra is now on Gantari. After the mother, Mahendra found something else, which made his feelings and soul calm. Not hearing the commotion or broken glass that can make Nathan's hair suddenly stand up.

At least seeing him happy with simple things like this can make Nathan calm temporarily, because he is not possible every day to see moments like this.

If Mahendra usually makes everyone happy too often, now with Nathan's own eyes see Mahendra who has found his own happiness. He lives very well.
