Lara's Admirers

Episode 60's

"Don't forget, I'll pick you up again." Renata.

"Yes, okay sip." Short reply.

Then Stefani and I immediately walked into the school. There is still a lot of time before class starts. We came too early today, I don't know if there are people there or not. It's all because of Renata setting the clock in my room an hour earlier than it should have been.

"Tumben is so picked up." Stefani said, nudging my arm.

"Sir Renata asked me to make fittings for the wedding dress." My reply is not spirit.

"Bakalan dong lo ntar mosquitoes there."

I had no intention at all to make up his words. We continued walking down the corridor of the school that still looked deserted. Then climb up the stairs to my class one by one. Usually only Clara and a few other students come early every day. Sometimes it also includes the Ark.

I glanced at my watch, making sure I wasn't wrong again. It's not unusual for strange humans to come faster like this. Especially Adit who is almost late every day. They were all complete and were sitting around my desk chatting. Every day they always do.

"I'm going to school, when are you going home?" Ask Adit.

"Yesterday." I answered briefly while putting my bag on the table.

"When I told you not to go to school first, eh he was wayward. This stubborn child." Chirp Stefani.

"Eh, just wait. There's something strange about you two today." Said Clara suddenly.

"What?" Reply to us simultaneously.

I sizzled rudely at Stefani who was suddenly such a compact pretentious like this with me.

"Your bangs are twins?" He pointed towards the forehead of the two of us.

"No!" Reject me immediately.

I immediately took out the cost of the pin from inside my uniform pocket. Then remove the hair from before me. I clamped it tightly, so that it would be impossible for him to escape again. It's much better than before.

"Eh, I just realized that Stefani today uses bangs. I felt like there was something different about him. But I didn't manage to find that difference." Obviously Titan is long times wide.

"You're like twins you know, I guess." Timpal Arka who finally started to open his voice.

"No!" I'm firm once again.

How could they equate me with that girl. Stefani and I are different. Maybe their eyes are in trouble.

I leaned myself on the chair while looking straight at the still-empty blackboard. This was my first day back at school, and my birthday. But why are they all so annoying today. All this again because of Renata's idea of making me his guinea pig. Just try he didn't do that to me, surely none of this will happen. Even though it is still morning, my mood has been made unremarkable by all of them.

Suddenly a hand gently pulled my bobby pin, causing my poniku to re-unravel freely. I turned my eyes to find out who owned the hand. It turned out to be a man who had been sitting next to me all along.

"Reverse Ark...." My love.

Arka just shook her head with a flat face. Find out what else this guy is in with me. I'm really not excited to argue with him.

"Arkaaaaa balikin...." My whine.

"This is much better." He said while tidying up my irregular poniku.

I was in place at once too. My eyes widened and looked at the man in disbelief. There's an organ hidden in there, pounding and getting faster.

"Much more beautiful." Say it again.

He pulled his face out from before me. I looked at my face from a distance.

"perfect." Further.

"Cieee." Cheer them up compactly.

I immediately threw the coldest possible gaze at the group of annoying humans. Again, I gripped in the face of their behavior.

"You don't want to say something like Eresha, let it not tangle her face?" Stefani said with a sly smile.

"What?" Welcome Adit.

"What day are you forgetting." Reply to the girl.

"What day is it?" Clara asked back.

"Today's Eresha's birthday, when you forget. What kind of friend tries to forget his best friend's special day." Stefani was impatient.

"What's the real thing?" Reply Adit while checking the date on his phone.

"Oh yeah I forgot." Keep up Clara who patted her eel.

"Gue doesn't even know anymore." Typhoon Titan with his plain face.

It seems they are indeed insensitive to the code Stefani gave them. Or maybe even this child who is not good at giving cues.

"Gue didn't forget." Arka suddenly.

"Seriously lo?" Stefani.

I just stayed silent while staring at the man.

"Eresha Caitlyn Ananda's Happy Birthday. Wish you all the best, and here's a gift for you." Said Arka while taking something out from inside her drawer.

"May like." Further.

"I'm sorry if we forgot your birthday, but it's a lie. Haha....

Take it easy, we remember." Timpal Clara then offered a jumbo-sized donut cake that was fitted with colorful candles.

"Brave birthday!" Cheer them up simultaneously.

"Thank you everyone, I didn't think you'd be this good as me." I said half in disbelief.

"Eh, by the way I've said it twice." Stefani.

"Blow out the candles!" Arka's Order.

I nodded quickly to his words. After that I immediately put my face closer to the cake while blowing the fire until it runs out.

"Horeee!" Cheer them up happily.

The small smile returned to expand after it had disappeared. I'm lucky to have them all. A friend I can't describe with words. They're all too perfect for someone like me.

"Cut the cake!" Adit's protests are impatient.

"Donate..." My reply.

"Oh yeah, the donut means."

Clara immediately took out her tablespoon, which she always brought to school lately because she had to eat lunch at this place. Although only a piece of donut, but the size can be said to be quite giant compared to donuts sold in general.

"Open the card." Arka's Order.

"Now is it really?" My toot.

Arka nodded excitedly hearing my words just now. I immediately followed his request.

"Wahhh..... Who is this picture?" I said while amazed.

"So, the important thing is you like." The reply.

"I love it, I promise I'll put it on my wall."

"But don't hit the nail again."

"Same..."

This painting is so perfect, even every little detail of our faces, is described exactly. Whoever drew this I'm sure, he must have a thick blood of art. A beautiful picture of our friendship the six of us poured into a painting.

"Eh, by the way you know not ka, the poem you made was also on display in the room Eresha." Stefani is at length.

"Oh yeah?" Reply Arka did not believe.

I directly kicked the table right then and there, making everyone stupefied and dumbfounded. How dare Stefani say that to Arka.

"Sorry..." He said while smiling stiffly.

"Eresha tuh kayak kayak house cat, very tame. But it turns out it can make it like this too." Timpal Adit is still riveted.

"Hehe...." My reply seemed innocent.

"I have something for you guys." Then I reached into my bag.

"Here, come yes.the show's next week." I said while offering his invitation.

"Who's the wedding?" Ask Adit.

"Udah come with it." My answer.

"Sir sister Eresha wants a wedding, have you come. When else can you eat for free, yes." Stefani is at length.

"Don't Renata mean lo?" Ask Arka half surprised.

"Sheep!" My reply.

"Crazy, his soul mate has come. Very fast cuy!" Reply to the man.

"Don't forget to come." I said once again.

"So, if this is the case I'll come." Reply Titan.

"Now, everyone just takes one piece huh." Said Clara while giving the donut box.

Our hands immediately rushed into the box. While Clara carefully observed every hand that entered so as not to happen cheating. Everything is equal, so it has to be fair.

"You're finally back at school." Arka.

"Why?" My toot.

"You know not as long as you don't enter, the one on your bench is the Titan. Stress really knows that she's the same as gini." Arka was clearly so enthusiastic.

I think I missed so many stories in this class.

"What if I'm not stressed here?" I ask once again.

"Ehmmm." The reply then returned the bobby pin to me.

"Thank you."

"Don't pinch her bangs anymore."

"Why? I don't want twins with Stefani."

"You're so much prettier like this. You're the same, Stefani is so different."

"OK..."

It seems that Arka refused to talk about it. He immediately switched the conversation after I tried to ask him. The man was trying to hide something from me, but unfortunately I knew it first.

The first lesson of the day has returned. There must be something sacrificed in order to achieve a goal, including learning.

I don't think time goes so fast leaving everything in the past behind. Without paying attention to the few people around him. We only have a few months of age at this school. In a moment, this school is ready to release hundreds of students that they have been educated as well as possible.

At that time we will live the true destiny of life. There will be more stories after we leave this place. But this is where the beginning of the story begins. A memory I will never forget in my entire life. Grey white time memories.

On the last day, when graduation day has come. At that time we will feel proud, happy, satisfied, but at the same time sad and haru. Everything will happen at that time. Believe that a glorious future awaits us soon. That is my hope and also the hope of all twelve students in Nusantara High School. Not only this SMA, the whole of Indonesia also hopes like that to the young generation of hope of the nation.

"Do you want me to drive you home?" Ask Arka who suddenly stopped in front of me with her motorcycle.

"Oh, don't you. Today I have an appointment with Sister Renata to make her fittings for the wedding dress." I clearly.

"Oh yaudah I will wait for you here until Brother Renata comes. Lagian Stefani pulled it first, right?"

"She has to work first."

"That's why I'm here. It will be dark again."

"Thanks is waiting for me."

"Just relax, like anyone."

Soon a black car stopped in front of us. After that, the owner of the car opened his car glass until a woman appeared in it.

"Yuk ride!" Take Renata.

I nodded quickly to his words.

"Eh there's Arka too? You want to come with us?" Ask Renata.

"Eh, Arka did you say?" Ask Kak Reksa back.

After a while, they both decided to get out of the car. The two men approached us who were standing on the sidewalk.

"Eh, Arka?" Said Kak Reksa as if he had been close to this man.

"Eh, Brother Mutual." The reply.

"This is my neighbor's Ark, it turns out he's one school as well as Eresha?" Asked the man while embracing Arka's shoulder.

"Yes sis..." Reply with a little stiff.

"We're classmates, some of us." Add Arka.

"Oh yeah? I know dong means something." Reply Kak Reksa.

"They're closest to this dating loh." Renata added at that time.

"Sister!" Snap me.

"Emang really ka?" Ask Kak Reksa make sure.

"Yes that's it, brother." Reply with doubt.

Geez, why has the situation become this complicated. I was going to take care of Renata's business. But why now the discussion is even out of line like this. I didn't even know in advance that Arka was Kak Reksa's neighbor.

"But if you look around, you fit in anyway." Said Kak Reksa lightly.

I can only stroke my chest while continuing to increase my patience level. These guys are actually trying to test me or something.

While Arka remained silent saying nothing. He seems to feel the same way as me.

"Why if you come with us to make clothes fittings? We also bought dress code for you." Said Kak Reksa.

"I think I want to go straight home, brother." Reject the Ark without diminishing any respect.

"There's no reason. About mama you let brother talk." Strictly the man.

"Here you are, you are with Eresha. We went to the boutique together. And no show of repulsion." Further.

"Don't agree!" Added Renata.

"Yes, that's it." Reply resigned.

I don't want to argue any longer with them. I immediately got on Arka's motorcycle and the couple returned to their car. We always go home longer than usual. That's all since the extra ham lesson has been put in place. This is done every year by this school.

We tailed Kak Reksa's car from behind. Our vehicles raced to each other to the boutique before dark night greeted. But it looks like we'll be home later that night when we're done from the boutique. Choosing wedding clothes is not a short time. Moreover, they said they would choose a dress code for me and Arka.

"You've known Reksa a long time?" I asked in the middle of the trip.

"Oh, it's been a long time. We used to play together small fitting, only since I entered High School and he also has been in college. So both busy, and rarely meet." Evidently.

I nodded my head while saying the words.

***

"Well in!" Said Renata while confirming his bag.

I nodded at his words. Then we immediately walked into the store located among the ranks of other elite shops. A soft light of golden yellow from the chandelier, adds to the luxurious impression of this place. Plays of graceful dresses are on display along the way.

These two teenagers were simply following the footsteps of the person in front of him. Renata and Reksa were meeting with the store owner and chatting for a while. We just waited with a sense of saturation that began to approach. We're just little kids who haven't even graduated High School, know what we're about.

"Well, let's try on the dress first. You guys just wait here for a second ain't nothing, are you?" Said Kak Reksa.

"Yes sis..." Reply resigned.

While Arka only nodded with her flat face which is always difficult to understand.

"I'm sorry yes. Because of me you've been brought here." I said feeling guilty.

"It's okay. I'm talking to you, sister Reksa, so it's okay." The reply.

This guy is always hard to guess. Sometimes what I think about it is not always the same in fact.

"Tomorrow to come with me?" Ask Arka.

"Eh, where?"

"Somewhere, somewhere. Think of it as my birthday gift."

"You gave me a gift."

"If it's a gift from all of us. This is special to me for you."

I nodded quickly to his words. After all, since our relationship has been strained, I have rarely spent time with him like before. It couldn't be wrong to accept his invitation this time. I don't have a busy schedule tomorrow either.

Arka's face also immediately looks so sumringah. A change in mood that happens quickly. At least I've seen him smile like this after we're no longer together. Even if I wanted to, but I couldn't continue that story that was supposed to be over.

Before long the two prospective brides came out of their respective fitting rooms. Of course with his new appearance that makes me pangling. It turns out that Kak Reksa is much more handsome and so cool when wearing a suit like this.

"Where?" Ask Renata.

I looked at the appearance of the two of them carefully. Highlighting them one by one from the bottom, to the ends of the hair. I shook my head, inexhaustible with their appearance. It's amazing, like a pair of kings and queens.

I held my thumbs up to the two of them with a small smile.

"Where are you?" Ask Kak Reksa to the man.

"Good at all." The reply.

"So it's all right?" Renata.

"We'll take this." Further.

Renata's husband-to-be just nodded in agreement with her lover's request.

"So we'll take this one." Said Kak Reksa to the owner of the boutique.

I'm sure the price of a set of these looks isn't cheap. From the outside, this shop looks very elite. The clothes on display here are also not arbitrary clothes. It seems that all the clothes here have been designed in such a way by a well-known professional designer. The goods alone are on average branded all. How much do they charge to host this wedding.

The two of them immediately went back into the room to take off their clothes. We both have to wait again. It's really boring to me.
