Lacara

Section 9

After dinner, Cara invites Randy to go to the Mall which is not far from the complex. The goal is only to buy a novel that he has been looking for for 2 more weeks. A novel about sahahat becoming love.

"Don't look for the novel for long. Brother wants to go to work first," said Randy when they have arrived in front of a famous bookstore in Indonesia.

"Yes, Brother. If I may know, what are you doing at work, brother?" ask How to be curious. Not the way the name is if you do not ask things that make him curious.

"You take paychecks, look at your sister's work schedule." Randy's answer made How to jump for joy. Randy just shook his head. He remembered that he had an appointment with his sister.

"Hmm, but buy it not now, Sunday."

"But the money is not spent first," said Cara who was only answered with a nod of the head. After Randy left, Cara stepped inside the bookstore.

Through the hallways of bookshelves. Take a look at some of the novels that might interest him just by looking at the cover. But, so far there is no 1 novel that can make Cara interested. The girl decided to look for the novel she was looking for.

How to get to the place referred by the bookstore clerk. It turned out that the novel he was looking for was on display in the front of the store. He read the synopsis of the story.

Friends become love?

Maybe not really?

Only 2 sentences, but Cara was so interested. Actually he has read half a chapter of the novel in *******. But, half the chapters and the ending are only available in the print version. So, Cara also decided to save and buy a novel that made her very curious.

"What do you see on your phone?"

"Your photo."

Convinced conversations between men and women managed to make him curious. He raised his head and looked for where the conversation was coming from. It turned out that the conversation came from 2 people of different sex who were standing in front of the bookstore, not far from Cara.

From behind, Cara felt something was awkward. Like he knew one of them. Moreover, men with white shirts, black jeans, and black hair that began to be rather long. 3 the characteristics were exactly the same as Raca. His friend was very fond of white shirts and black jeans. How to also remember the black hair Raca who began rather long. But, really? If so, who is the woman next to Raca?

"By long time to buy the novel." Randy's voice managed to surprise Cara and undo the girl's intention to check who the man and woman were. How to turn around and lift his novel while pointing at the cashier. Even Randy who understood just nodded.

~·~

"Honey, I'm not whiny, brother," said Cara while beating Zul's left arm. The guy just laughed and told Cara to stop beating him.

"Bebel, no Randy's sister, Ijul's sister, must have said I was a crybaby," Cara said with an upset face. Both hands he folds in front of his chest. His body is tilted to the left.

"In the past, who was always crying if I didn't braid?" tanya Zul manages to make Cara turn around, staring at Zul.

"So, I don't have a promise anyway. In the past, who promised to braid my hair every day?" ask How to turn back. Zul pinched the nose of the braided girl. The thing he always did when Cara sulked and whined so that he braided the black hair. But, that was before.

"Will you go back to childhood?" How to raise his eyebrows, the sign asks for the intended explanation of Raca's question.

"Yes, kayak first. Every morning, I wait in front of my pager. If I go out, I braid your hair. Then we went to school on foot. How's it?"

Zul's words make Cara remember her childhood long ago. Before 6 am, he was in front of the fence of the house Zul while carrying a rubber band. Then wait for Zul to finish breakfast. After Zul came out, the guy braided his hair neatly. Then, walk hand in hand towards the School. And the funniest thing, is when Randy's sister goes after him and Zul. Funny thing is, Randy must not wear shoes, just socks, next to him.

"But, Brother Randy is not at school with us," said Cara slowly, then lowered her head.

Zul knows, Cara really misses the three of them together with Randy. Where Randy was always a comedian. "Yet childhood does not always repeat itself until the same 100%. Consider us for our big time which is almost the same as our childhood. You want to, right?"

Way nod. At least he can repeat his childhood in the big time even though there is no presence of Brother Randy.

"Ra, come with me!!" said Raca who suddenly came and pulled Cara's hand.

How to be surprised and try to remove the pull in his hand. But Raca's energy is stronger than hers. "Ca, zealand. Don't pull the gini. Pain knows," said Cara while trying to remove the pull in her hand.

But, Raca still pulled Cara's hand to get the girl to stand up and follow her. Zul who saw just acted. The man stood up and easily removed Raca's hand from Cara's.

"Just like that chick don't be rude."

"Why? Is it Cara?"

"Gue temennya, you are the same, right?"

"But I have more important business than you talked about earlier."

"How important is it that you have to pull Cara's hand roughly?"

Cara immediately stood up and broke up the two friends, before the quarrel occurred. "Udah, Brother. I'm gapapa."

"But you said it hurt."

"What a hell, Brother. I go first yeah," Cara said, then pulled Raca's hand away after getting a nod from Zul.

"Loh what the hell, Ca," Cara said as they reached the school garden. He took his hand off Raca's hand.

"Gue just don't like to see you together as it's called" replied Raca who managed to make Cara shake her head.

"Why? Trus if you don't like having to pull my hand?"

"sorry. Anyway I don't like to see you two together who it is, forget me."

"As far as lo. But, as long as you know, Brother Zul is cement from my small, so you have no right to chat deket or gang I'm the same Kak Zul, you can understand right?" ask Cara then walk away from Raca. The girl did not need an answer from Raca. Maybe they even fought again.

~·~

Raca ruffled her hair. He knew, Cara was angry again because of her act just now. Actually, he also did not know, why he did not feel like seeing Cara close to Zul.

"Who's the fool?" asked Haidan who suddenly appeared from behind Raca.

"Grand."

"If it was a long time ago, just realized lo?" sindir Haidan who managed to get a slow blow on his head. But, the guy just grimaced.

"Howwhy? Angry again, huh?" asked Haidan while pointing at Cara who was walking away from the school garden with her chin.

Raca just mumbled indicating if she was angry.

"Lagian, you why the tug-of-war Cara again PDKT same Kak Zul whose good looks rank far above lo?" tanya Haidan even got a sharp look from Raca.

"It doesn't have to be like that, I'm not afraid."

Raca turned her face away. Is it true that Cara is PDKT with her upperclassman? Why then disagree? Wait a minute, didn't Cara just say they were childhood friends? Could it be if they were just joking around, recalling memories in childhood?

"Why diem? From what I see, I think you like the same Cara," said Haidan who got a second sharp gaze from Raca.

"Sok knows you. How could I like the same temen itself," said Raca then turned his face. His hands were folded in front of his chest.

"Still friends, you can like each other." Haidan's words are true. But, he couldn't possibly like Cara.

"Gue loves the same way and does not want him to choose the wrong people."

"Why should you choose, if the way is the most appropriate way," said Haidan who makes Raca confused.

"You mean Kak Zul?"

"Lo is stupid."

"Don't want to talk to anyone" Raca said, curling Haidan while slowly beating the guy's head. Haidan who could not let go of his head, could only laugh.

~·~

How to walk quickly. Remembering Raca's behavior just made her emotional. What right did that guy have to ban him from being close to Kak Zul?

"Emang him who would like to set my deck with Kak Ijul? Brother isn't. Brother isn't. Not friends. Neither does the girlfriend," Cara scolded as she continued walking towards her class. But, as he passed through the girls' bathroom, a hand pulled him.

"Well, this is a pull, like a raca," Cara said, then took off the hand that had pulled her violently. After he left, his head was raised.

"Why..."

"Why? It hurts, uhh pity," said Kak Puput to make his two friends who always follow him laugh.

"Why pull my hand?"

"I should have asked, yesterday why don't you go back?" How to turn his brain. Remembering the meaning of the words of his upperclassman.

"Oh, I'd love to, Brother!" cara shouted as she remembered, "yesterday, when I wanted to go back to see Brother, I met Ms. Dania and was told to help her in the teacher's room."

"Alesane. Tell me you're running away."

"Lo ngaku" said Jeni, a tomboyish friend of Puput's.

"Really, Brother. I'm a good boy, so it's impossible to lie" Cara said. Yesterday he did not want to escape. But he was given the chance to escape. Shouldn't that opportunity be wasted?

This time, because Puput is being kind, then he just accept the reason for his underclassman. But, she still had some business concerning her romance with Cara.

"So, why did Raca tinker?"

"No need to know!"

"Lo began to be brave with me," said Puput then hinted his two friends to lock Cara's hands on the wall.

"Please Brother!" cara shouted while trying to let go of both her hands.

"Now I ask again, why did Raca drag you to the school garden?" tanya Puput while shaking her waist.

"She doesn't like to see me deket the same Brother Zul." Suddenly, Puput and his two friends laughed at Cara's reply.

The puput holds both cheeks way or rather pressing. "Why doesn't Raca like to see you and Zul?"

"Where do I know Brother."

"Gue knows," said Seli, a somewhat limp friend of Puput. "Looks, Raca likes Cara, but she doesn't like to see the same other guy."

"Lo dare to say that again? Raca just likes me!" the screams of the Escape made Seli a little afraid.

"But, I saw in the article that guys don't like to see girls with other guys. That's a sign that the guy likes the girl," said Seli quietly, but can still be heard by Puput. It made Puput back angry with Seli. So that Seli could only be silent.

"Sister, let me go" said Cara slowly. She was no longer strong enough to hold back her cries.

"Wear cry everything. Just so you know, I don't like to see you deket same Raca. I'm gonna do the thing that made you muchin Raca, inget it!" After saying that, Puput told his two friends to let Cara go. Then, the three of them left Cara who was now sitting on the bathroom floor crying.

"AMEL!!
