Just Ngefans, Kok! (AS IT RISES)

6. The gossip that dumps hope

Don't expect too much if you don't want to hurt.

"Kiarahoooo!"

Kiara jumped in shock when she heard the echoing screams in the classroom corridor.

From far away Kiara could see Luna running followed by Risa behind her. Kiara frowned confused by the behavior of her two best friends.

"Haaah haaah haaah. Ra, huh. That's... Haaah." huh."

Kiara patted Luna's arm which looked almost out of breath after running.

"Oh, calm down dong, Lun. What the hell is it? How are you being chased by demons?" tanya Kiara calms Luna down. While Risa has been sitting on the floor, no matter if her skirt will be dirty or not. He had even leaned his back against the corridor wall.

"Ra, you don't be surprised, yes" said Luna after feeling her breathing was irregular.

Kiara let out a annoyed breath. "Yes, yeah. What the hell? You really see me die of curiosity."

Luna held onto both of Kiara's shoulders then looked at her seriously. He momentarily fell silent to think of the right set of words to tell his best friend.

"Ra, I heard the gossip earlier on Kak Bayu..."

Kiara sharpened her hearing when she heard Bayu's name mentioned. He also did not blink his eyes because it was too serious to hear the continuation of the story Luna who still hangs.

"Boyu's sister, she's got a fiancee, Ra."

Kiara's forehead shriveled deeply. "Huh? What the hell, Lun?" ask Kiara in disbelief. His two eyes were even round in shock at Luna's words.

Kiara turned to look at Risa who was still sitting limp near Luna's feet. He nodded confirming Luna's words. Kiara quietly sighed. In his mind raged various kinds of questions related to what Luna had just said.

"Oh" Kiara's response.

"What the? Just oh?'" asked Luna with a surprised expression. Who would have thought, Kiara who idolized the figure of Bayu when told that the idol already had a fiancee, the response was only a lot of ria. Really weird magic bin.

"Yes on, how should I respond?" kiara asked with her innocent look.

Luna snorted violently. "Yes, at least you should be excited like I'm the same Risa. Well lo? The response is flat. I don't believe you really want to avoid Kak Bayu."

Risa finally stood up after feeling her legs were not numb because of running a marathon with Luna.

"Ngidolain someone is fine anyway. As long as it does not disturb his privacy, especially about his relationship," Kiara said slowly.

"It doesn't bother you, Ra. As a fan, you should... Ah dizzy me." Luna relaxed both her shoulders. Just imagine, already running around with Risa in the school corridor, bringing the bird news about your best friend fans and the response is just 'oh?', it is really beyond reason.

Risa patted Luna's shoulder. "You go, Lun. Maybe in his mouth Kiara is talking about it, but who knows what his heart is? Maybe he swore again."

Kiara smiled faintly and confirmed Risa's words in the heart. Actually his heart was already beating very fast when Luna mentioned Bayu's name earlier, only he was trying to hold that feeling. Especially when his best friend told him that Bayu already had a fiancee. His heart feels like it hurts. But back to reality, because reality is sometimes not as expected.

"Udah yuk's. We go to class," Risa asked when she saw Kiara's facial expression that was out of sync with her speech.

Luna finally agreed, although still a little surprised by Kiara's expression. But yes it is. Maybe that was Kiara's way of calming her troubled heart.

The doorbell rang, making students including Kiara, Luna and Risa rush to put their books and pens in their bags.

"Good kids, enough lessons to get here first huh. For PR, please work on page twenty-four. Any question?"

"Nothing, Mom,"

"good. See you next week. Assalamualaikum warohmatullahi wabarokatuh."

"Waalaikumussalam warohmatulli. Thanks, Mom."

"Yes, you're welcome."

After Popy came out, Kiara put her bag on her left shoulder while holding the package book in her right hand.

"Go home, yuk," Kiara asked Luna and Risa.

"Yes bentar. I texted my brother first," replied Risa while typing something on her phone.

"Abang you pick up? Wuih, my future priest," cerocos Luna was full of vigor.

Luna sneered at Risa's words. "Yee, instead of being guaranteed. And please, the qualification to be your brother-in-law, don't bother too hard, Ris."

Luna did meet with Risa's brother. At that time Luna drove Risa home after school, and it happened that Risa's brother was also from the store to buy something. Luna who happened to meet with Risa's brother immediately felt a strange gelenyar peaking in his chest which at that time he believed to be 'love'. However, Luna must be extra careful if you want mode, because Risa's brother turned out to be a boarding boy who is not easy to approach.

"Udah, no. In front of yuk. Test hunt later," said Kiara mediate.

Luna. "Ra, you realize? Now it's not the test season," Risa also shook her head to hear Kiara's words.

"Please understand, Lun. Kiara is diem-diem again with a heavy burden,"

"Huh?"

"Yes, Kak Bayu again digosipin has a fiancee. So do not be surprised if Kiara who as a fan brain rada-rada koslet abis denger the news."

Kiara sighed softly hearing Risa's words. Wanted to dodge but his best friend's words have a point too. So, yeah, that's it.

"Like you guys. Yuk ah."

"Yep, my brother is also ahead."

"Yuk! Yuk!"

While busy chatting in the middle of the classroom corridor, suddenly Luna patted Kiara and Risa's arms quite hard. Risa and Kiara had to stroke her arm slowly which suddenly felt like bruising due to Luna's punch.

"Oh, what the hell, Lun?! From that moment on, the real riots. This hurts!" risa's reprimand is not accepted by Luna's treatment.

"Damn! Look carefully, look at Kak Bayu as a girl," said Luna while pointing towards the edge of the basketball court.

Kiara and Risa also automatically look towards the basketball court that is not far from their current existence. On the edge of the field was Bayu along with a woman. The woman smiled shyly at Bayu.

"Who is a girl? I just saw it like that," said Risa while trying to remember the figure of the woman who is now with the head of the OSIS.

"Yes, Sa. I think I just saw it too. But, by the way Kak Bayu want to be both girls anyway? It's not a mahram" said Luna.

Risa nodded softly approving of Luna's words. "Yes, maybe because I got married. That's why you dare to do that."

"Hush! You two are yes, it is very suitable to be a rival Mak Lambe," said Kiara.

Luna glanced towards Kiara. "Didn't you wonder what you are, Ra? This is Bayu, Ra. Brother BAYU."

"Yes, continues?"

Luna shook her head slowly. "Really, Ris. I think that Ara again got something. Wonder me. From that moment the response was mulu."

Kiara smiled faintly and then stepped away from her two best friends.

"Where are you going, Ra?"

"Go home."

"Eh? Waitamin!"

Apdet.😅

Have you ever heard or read this Hadith?

"I have felt all the bitterness in life and the most bitter thing is to hope in man." - Ali ibn Abi Talib

Well, for those who are sometimes hurt by the hope that is not sameness, you (and I) can learn a lot from the hadith. And of course do not give up let alone blame your situation just because your expectations are not sameness. Maybe sometimes nyesek nyesek how it is, but yes anyway, believe it, God has set the best for us. 😌

Btw, Kiara is the same ngefans Bayu, but it is only natural. Not a sample that ngestalk all day to forget yourself and time or fangirling-an that or what the hell is the name? Haha.

What about you yourself? Have you ever stayed up all day? Forgot yourself, forgot prayer, forgot njai or forgotten everything else?
