LOLLIPOPS

LOLLIPOP 12

Five years ago...

The moult leaves fell weakly from the shady trees, blown by a gust of may wind. Little Aninda noticed umar who had been picking up yellowing leaves. It was so hot that they decided to take shelter under the tree of their love. Aninda smiled at the persistence of umar sorting leaves that he considered still good. 

"Make what the hell?" Babe aninda is curious. 

Umar remained busy with the fallen leaves. "You know later"

Aninda smiled cheerfully. Umar always makes surprises for her, making her days feel beautiful and exciting. Although still SD, the sincerity of their love for each other seems no less than the sincerity of the love of adults who have been committed. Umar arranged the leaves with the branches of the tree he found. He struggled to string the yellowing leaves, trying to arrange them as beautiful as possible. Aninda just sat quietly beside him, watching the perseverance of umar's fingers while smiling. 

"So!" Umar showed off his work. A small crown of yellow leaves that looked like gold. 

"What's that doing?" Ask aninda plain. He was amazed to see the work of umar that was so amazing at that time. 

Umar approached Aninda, then placed the crown on her head. "This is for the most beautiful Princess of a dashing prince!"

Aninda blushed in shame. "Thank you, my prince"

"Because now I've given you the crown, we'll fit it big I'll just complete it by giving you a necklace" said umar who sounded like a promise. 

"Why necklace?" 

"Because yesterday I watched a movie with my cousin. There the prince gave a necklace to his daughter's master, then their lips nempel that." Ah, at that time umar was really still plain. 

"I don't understand how their lips are stuck?" Aninda squealed in wonder. 

"Say my cousin's sister, it's called a kiss, and only big people can admit to his true love"

Aninda who seemed enthusiastic did not understand umar's explanation. It's just a mangosteen with the face of her child. 

"If it is big later we kiss ya nin. Our first kiss. You want to be my first kiss?" Tanya umar shy. 

Aninda smiled innocently. "Sure!"

"Promise?" "Promise!"

And that day they made another promise, adding to their previous row of promises. Innocence makes them believe those promises will come true. Did ya?

 

***

Aninda hiccups in the bedroom, regretting the vigo's actions earlier. She is shocked and angry that Vigo has taken her first kiss. Vigo's levity forced Aninda to renege on her past sacred promise. What the hell would vigo want to do that? Inner aninda growling. There are still many girls who want to be treated like that by him, then why did he choose me? The first kiss should be sacred and not like before...

Aninda fouled the bolster in her arms. He regrets believing in Vigo, a figure who has now turned into a shitty guy. 

It's not strange if Aninda needs a week to relieve her cocky feelings because of a vigo kiss. At school or in his home constantly. Restiana had to think twice if she wanted to chat with Aninda. 

If you want to be honest, it is not actually a vigo kiss, but the obscurity of the existence of umarlah that makes aninda shudder. Even when he went to Umar's house for the second time, no one was there. Not her grandmother either. House deserted. 

The news of Vigo will be expelled from school has also been heard aninda. That guy should leave Harapan Jaya High School by Monday. Whereas Saturday the first semester report card will be distributed, which means a long vacation is waiting. Aninda imagined her holiday would be beautiful because there was umar, but now her hope ran aground. 

 

***

Aninda's eyes were sharp as she stood in front of her class, looking for a blessing she hadn't seen since morning. Is restiana absent? He is usually the most active in school. When kekantin aninda saw syifa and merli without marsha. It was also a rare occurrence considering the three of them were always going everywhere together. To the extent that Aninda likes to be taunted, maybe even to hell they are together. Why was that day so much trouble? Suddenly there was a call from her phone. 

"Nin, come to my house here!" Yasmin's screams directly hit Aninda's shocked nerves. 

"What's up, yas?" Ask aninda flat. 

"I'm alone in the house. Just like baby. Just now satriya went with yovi" yasmin complained. 

"Ow, pantesan I didn't see yovi at school. But today there are a lot of things that are not seen in school"

"You don't know why you didn't go to school?" Ask yasmin tease. 

Spontaneous aninda shook her head. Yasmin did not see it. 

"Make it play here, ntar I tell you something!" "okay!" Aninda hung up the phone. 

 

***

As Aninda walked through the school gate, her phone rang again. He flinched looking at the foreign number listed on the screen hp. Curious he lifted it. 

"Hello, good day?" The voice of a woman who seemed to be middle-aged. 

"Good day" replied Aninda politely. 

"Is this really aninda?" Ask the voice across there to make sure he is talking to the person he is looking for. 

"Rubber. Whose mother is it?"

"I am umar's mother. Look, nak aninda, umar is being treated in the hospital" Aninda's eyes make when she hears it. "Umar asked that Aninda come to the hospital now. Can you?"

"Can mom! Which hospital?"

"Healthy Hope"

"Okay ma'am, I'll be there soon" "Yes, I'll wait for you. Thank you" Connection disconnected. 

In a hurry aninda look for yasmin number, then she squeezed green color on her phone. 

"What's nin?" Ask yasmin smooth. 

"I didn't go to your house, there was a sudden and emergency! Okay?" Without waiting for yasmin's answer, aninda pressed the red button. He rushed to find public transportation to Harapa Sehat Hospital. 

 

***

Yovi, satriya, and the Harapan Jaya High School basketball core team agreed to carry out a plan that was drawn up a few days ago. 

"So let me, satriya, and rian aja come. I don't want to mess around in people's homes. If there's anything, I'll call you. Well, y'all nganter vigo kebandara huh? Me, satriya, and rian nyulua. Deal?" Yovi once again repeated their agreement calmly. 

"Deal!" Answer the others in unison. 

Yovi, satriya, and rian take a yovi car to a house that is no stranger to yovi. While the rifki and the four other children rushed to Soekarno-Hatta Airport.

 

***

Marsya had a fever that day, so she didn't go to school. He couldn't sleep last night, and now his eyes are so heavy. Restiana is at his house, accompanying him with ricko. Their little chatter in a low tone was almost inaudible to Marsya. When his eyes were almost closed, there was a knock on the door. 

Yovi's. 

Marsya smiled weakly even surprised to see the arrival of yovi. It was kind of true that he deliberately visited me, thought Marsya a bit confused. But his smile was lost when he watched the yovi approach the ricko, pulling the collar of the guy's shirt... Then punch him steady. 

Restiana screamed loudly. 

Marsya just gawked, her body felt very weak. 

"You're the one who nagged sema on vigo, right?" Yovi yells emotion. 

Satriya and Rian stood firmly at the door, just in case. 

"What do I do?" ricko asked calmly as he rubbed his cheeks that would soon be bruised. 

"Not holy! You're the one who reported the false accusations, right, Rick? You were also the head of the vigo hoist a few months ago!" Yovi. 

Marsya and restiana were stunned to hear it.  

Ricko laughed cynically, "you finally know too"

Yovi's anger was compounded by ricko's reaction, which seemed to underestimate him. "Why do you admit it all!" Tanya yovi demanded an explanation while raising her hand.

It seems he wants to punch ricko again. 

Good thing satriya's been holding him back, "yov, take care of your emotions!"

Yovi took a slow breath, as if giving ricko a chance to answer his question. 

"You should know more about this. You are her brother" said ricko kalem. The pain in his cheeks did not make him weak. 

"Not to talk! Why?" Yovi asked with deliberately softened intonation. 

"You want to know why?" Ricko asked back with no less calm. 

Others waited tensely. 

 

***

It looks umar is lying weakly with an infusion hose in his arm. Aninda closed her own mouth, sadly watching the condition of her little prince. 

Umar opened his eyes slowly as he felt the presence of someone. Umar's mother welcomed aninda's arrival. 

"Son Aninda chat first same umar yes, aunty want to buy a drink dikantin" said umar's mother while pulling a chair and gave a sign rather aninda sitting. The friendly woman's figure was like a lack of sleep because there was a black line under her eyes. 

Aninda nodded politely. Carefully he sat in the seat that was available next to the umar bed. "What are you sick with?"

"My illness is not important to you. I just want to tell you something really important" Umar said seriously. 

Aninda frowned. Baffled. "What is mar?"

"It has to do with your past"

"We mean what we've been saying?" Aninda correction. 

Umar. "You've been mistaken nin all along. You think I'm umar, your past"

A moment of powerful lightning like snatching aninda. "What do you mean? Mar, I know you're sick now, don't tell me macems first"

"No, I want you to know before I die. I'm not umar your past nin. A few months ago my brother forced me to change schools so you thought I was umar. He had told me everything before. About her, you and umar" "She.he who do you mean?" Cut aninda curious. 

"Ricky"

 

***

Ricko smiled cynically seeing friends around him tensely waiting for his answer. "Because vigo is aninda yov's past!" Rikco laughed loudly. 

"What do you mean? Don't make up stories!" Yovi pulls ricko's collar again. 

Ricko's snide smile disappeared. "You're surprised, right? But this is in fact, the real vigo is umar, the little prince of aninda, the one who is always aninda damba!"

"No need to macem-macem with me rick!" Threaten yovi slowly. 

"He's a real yov. Vigo emang aninda's past" suddenly satriya spoke up to shorten the time. 

Yovi turned his head, looking intently at satriya, looking for earnestness. 

Yovi's confused expression made ricko laugh again. "Let's be clear, your last names are both sastrodjoyo kumara right? And when SD vigo prefers to be called his middle name, umar"

"Shit!" Yovi was not interested in hearing the continuation of the ricko story and instead chose to take his two friends to the airport. 

 

***

"I need your explanation sat" Yovi told satriya on his way to the airport. 

Satriya started to tell in a calm tone. 

 

***

"Ricko does this because he doesn't want you to see umar again, he loves you very much. But the way he told you was wrong. To be exact, cunning" umar continued his story that had been cut aninda. 

"Ricko should know I don't know umar's whereabouts right now. So why is Ricko doing all this?" Aninda's confused. 

"Because all this time umar was near you nin. So close"

"Your casino?" Umar's explanation is like a riddle to Aninda. 

"Umar no vigo, vigo kumara sastrodjoyo. At SD he preferred to be called his middle name, umar"

Aninda covered her gawking mouth with both hands trembling. Eyes glazed. 

 

*** 

Yovi, satriya and rian arrive at the airport. Vigo is seen sitting with his basketball friends near the departure gate. Half-run yovi approached his twin. He immediately floated a hard lump into the smooth face of his sister. His friends were dumbstruck, unable to believe watching the actions of yovi who are usually polite and calm. 

"Your coward!I yovi raau yell. 

The people around them started to swarm the yovi and the vigo. "Why didn't you say? Why don't you point to Aninda that you're the one she's been with? Why?"

Vigo wiped the blood on his lips with his cold hand. 

"Because I don't want to mention anything from you yov"

"**** so much you!" I never thought that. Aninda's yours from the past until now. You should have known that. Your cowardly way that I believe it hurts a lot of people." 

Yovi took a deep breath, trying to ease his emotions. 

"Yes... Whatever your judgment is yov. I was wrong." Vigo reached out. "I'm sorry" vigo nodded then let go of a hug. "My plane's almost gone, I have to get in" said Vigo kalem. "Yov, take care of aninda? Tell him all the truth" Yovi paused for a moment, then slowly welcomed vigo's helping hand. The two brothers hugged tightly. "Be careful vig. Sorry for me too"

"okay"

Vigo, then shake hands with all his friends. Goodbye indonesia, empty mind. 

 

***

Aninda walked out of the hospital while sniffling softly. So vigo is umar. The little prince he had been looking for, whom he had been looking for all this time. So that's the explanation why as long as Vigo knows everything about him. That's the reason the vigo punched the ricko in the tower, because they are indeed arch-enemies long ago. 

 

***

After a long bus ride, until also aninda in front of the house vigo who looks lonely. The gate was wide open so that Aninda decided to go straight in without having to squeeze the bell. He went to the porch and knocked on the door. 

"Non ninda looking for den yovi?" Tanya mbok tiyem once opened the living room door for her.  "No mbok, I'm looking for vigo!" Aninda hastily said. 

"Lho, den vigo went to America today. He said there was a school that played basketball. Non-ninda don't know?"

"Haah? What's?" Aninda wanted to faint to hear it. 

"What time does it go?" 

"Well, it's daritadi. Go in first, let's make some tea"

Aninda nodded. His body feels weak. He immediately sat on the sofa closest to the door so as not to fall. Strange, his heart felt nothing more. Is he numb?

"Bok, Vigo's coming back, right?" Aninda asked flatly as mbok tiyem served a glass of iced tea. 

Mbok tiyem was silent for a moment. His face looks worried. 

"It's not non. Den vigo will nerusin school there"

"Aninda?" Yovi appeared from the front door. "It just so happens that you're here. I want to tell you something" said Yovi gently, but a few hours ago he just punched two people with high emotions. 

Yovi begins to tell the story of the alleged theft of trophies on vigo, as well as the gang rape of friends ricko on his sister. 

"So ricko's the one who fucked this up?" Aninda was surprised. 

Yovi nodded slowly. 

"What right do you have to deny me the same deket ricko? He's been my friend since SD! Are you really stealing the cup? I didn't know you were as slick as vig! That evil! Go you vig!"

"I want to go Nin. Say you love me nin!" vigo kissed aninda's lips. Aninda slaps vigo. 

A series of events with vigo cross back into Aninda's memory. His stupidity makes him unaware as long as umar turns out to be near him. 

"Vigo is also wrong nin" entertain yovi as if he could make up his mind. 

"I'm confused. How can Vigo be my upperclassman? That's why I never thought or suspected he was umar" asked Aninda. 

"I and Vigo joined the SMP equivalency program. When he was in Elementary I was still in amrik. He used to be with my grandmother on my mother's side. When the fifth grade of Elementary School he was told to amrik because of the condition of the grandmother here who began to get sickly. Graduated from diamrik Junior High, vigo maksa moved to indonesia. He wants to go back and go to school here. I had to follow, to take care of him whose emotions are difficult to control. Turns out you're the reason he wants to go back to Indonesia."

"Keep, why don't you come with him to Amrik now?" Aninda was not satisfied to ask. 

"What do you try? He was invited to Amrik one of the high schools there. I wasn't invited"

"Said mbok tiyem he won't go home"

"Doain, he's not at home".
