LOLLIPOPS

LOLLIPOP 8

November brought heavy rain. Marsya rubbed his dewy classroom window, staring at the deserted High School field, no more students on the move there. Sports lessons were transferred to the hall when the weather was not as favorable as it was that day. Disappointment rippled from his mind, usually he could see yovi exercising. The rain please stop, she asked in her heart.

 

*** 

“Almost semester exams, but all maples taste bablas from the head!” aninda after school. 

Restiana who was walking beside him smiled amusedly hearing him. “Yah learn dong nin” “Iya, learn anyway learn. But still only learned mentally all.” Grunts aninda.

“Learn the same yovi dong. He participated in the Smart Careful Competition, right?”

“Iya res, but I'm not good. Still hanging him is unclear.”

“Yes God! You still haven't answered nin?”

“Udah res, I've been rejected. But he wants to wait for me”

Restiana frowned. “Means she's serious dong nin”

“Ndon't know res”

Restiana's forehead is again wrinkled, looking like the intestines of twelve fingers. “You mean?”

“He also thought of Marsya, he told me the same story I”

Restiana chose not to comment. Marsya has told him a lot, including things that Aninda does not know. The one who broke with yovi was Marsya, and that was a unilateral decision. And according to the restiana observation, it seems that yovi does still have a taste for marshya, even though it may only be a speck.

 

*** 

Marsya was more silent when the OSIS meeting took place. He occasionally glanced at the yovi sitting next to him. Merli and Syifa were worried to see the attitude of his best friend.

“Sya, don't think he kept” whispered merli in marsya.

Marsya smiled at merli. “Mump can still squirm he mer”

Merli and Syifa turned the eyeballs, resigned to the attitude of his best friend who began strange.

“Yov?” call Marsya as soon as the meeting is over.

“What's up sya?” yovi asked calmly.

Marsya deliberately waited for all the children out, only the two of them lived in the OSIS room.

“I want us to go back yov. I know I'm selfish, but I still love you yov” finally Marsya can take out her unacknowledges all this time.

“Slowly yes, I was already disappointed with you” said yovi.

“I know yov. I just want you to know my race for you is still what it used to be. I saying kamu” said marsya lirih.

Yovi. A moment later he left Marsha alone.

I found you, muttered Marsya in my heart while looking at Yovi's back. Small crystals rolled down from his eyes.

 

If I could wish upon a star

Then I would hold you in my arms

And I know we could love once again

If I could turn the hands of time

The you would love me, still be mine

Baby, I would be right where are you

If I could wish upon a star

"Nin, you go home with vigo huh. There is an OSIS selection because" yovi approached aninda who was still with the class corridor restiana. "I told you in Vigo, he's still in the basketball room"

Aninda agreed, then rushed to the basketball room. Restiana was picked up by the driver. 

The rain is still durable, making some students prefer to hang out at school rather than crashing in the rain. Soon the semester exam is odd, so we can be sure all children keep their bodies fit. 

The basketball room is next to the karate room in the corner. Laughter from the basketball room. Carefully aninda knocked on the door, the sound of laughter instantly came to a halt. 

A tall boy opened the door for Aninda. "Who's looking?"

"Vigo" replied Aninda with a mimic that was deliberately made as elegant as possible. It makes her look like a silly girl. 

The tall boy invited Aninda in after getting a nod from the captain, vigo.

The room is like any other room. There is a padded chair that extends on one side, which is now occupied by team members. The cupboard is in the corner, the ball storage box is right next to it. The large lockers are faced with long chairs. 

Aninda risi because she's the only girl in the room. Vigo signaled for aninda to sit next to him, out of reach of her teammate. Anna now feels protected. 

"Home wait for the test to subside" said vigo imperious. 

"Yes!" Aninda ketus. 

"Nin, choose yovi or vigo?" Ledek. 

Everybody laugh. 

"Do neither" answered Aninda. 

The laughter of the basketball children grew. 

Vigo just smiled cynically. 

That day Aninda made a lot of new friends, namely the basketball children. It turns out they're not as arrogant as they seem on the field. Everyone was friendly with him. Is it because he's their captain's friend? Most of the core team members are from the eleventh grade, the rest of the twelfth grade who actually have to stop playing considering the national exam is getting closer. 

Finally Aninda knew the tall one who opened the door for her was named rian. The smallest rifki, the best make jokes that shake aninda's stomach. And there are many more that Aninda knows and immediately forget his name so small the volume of his brain. 

"You're deket yasmin, aren't you? How are yasmin and satriya?" Ask rifki. 

"Yes, I was there two months ago. But still sms-an continues. The news is good, the juniors are also good he said" replied Aninda slowly. 

"When we look at them!" The rifle proposal, which was immediately approved by all team members. 

Vigo is quieter than talking to his friends. I prefer to listen to songs with MP3. Not caring about aninda who had been glancing at him since. 

The rain had subsided into a small drizzle. One by one, the team members left the basketball room. Aninda and Vigo are left. 

"Yuk's home!" Take the vigo while patting slowly on Aninda's shoulder. 

Aninda immediately got up and stepped over the vigo. He did not dare to open the conversation. Vigo's mood didn't look good that day. 

"I'm lazy to go home" said Vigo on the way home. "I played where you used to?" Add it with a slightly pushy tone. 

Aninda did not dare to refuse. "Yes can"

 

***

Aninda's parents are happy not to play when they know that Vigo is visiting their home. 

"Both handsome, tumben want to stop by" ledek mother aninda super friendly. 

Aninda gets sultry and decides to take a bath, leaving the vigo with her parents. 

Beyond the heavy rain fell again accompanied by thunderous thunder. Aninda who had just taken a shower came into her room. His heart pinched when he found out that vigo had been sprawled in his mattress. 

"Geez!" Aninda was shocked.

Aninda's mother approached her daughter while gesturing with a lipped index finger. "He said he was sleepy. You moved into my mom's room there"

After changing clothes, aninda grumbled in annoyance. "What must vigo be defended! My own son was never saved!"

"Don't that nin, he's our guest. There is a saying that the guest is king" Aninda's father began his sermon. 

"Yes well, but the outrageous time is allowed to sleep in Aninda's room" Aninda protest still uses a polite tone. 

"It's okay once in a while, right? Anyhow..." Aninda's father did not finish his sentence because of the sound of Aninda's mother's cry. 

"Hp vigo sounds nin!" Aninda's mom from the kitchen. He's cooking dinner. 

Still grumbling, aninda went into the room. He reached into the vigo bag located at the study table, looking for something that made a loud noise. When aninda found hp vigo, the sound stopped. It turns out that the contact with the name "Mother" was trying to contact vigo. Aninda checked it, there were two sms coming from that contact. 

Must be mother vigo, inner aninda sure. 

From: Mother

Son, where are you? Papa same mom just came home kokuekin. When do you want to forgive mom?

From: Mother

How not to lift anyway? Papa nanyain you. 

Sms just in. From yovi

From: My Brotha

Vigs! Drop by where are you? Wanted bonyok tuh. 

Aninda decides to reply to yovi's message. 

To : My Brotha 

It's aninda, vigo's sleeping in my house. Afraid of waking up!  

Soon a reply from Yovi came in

From: My Brotha

Oh yeah? Yes, yes, justin. What matters is where. Tell me, don't go home. 

This time Aninda did not reply. It puts the vigo hp in its place again. Aninda's interest in continuing to look at the vigo appears. Slowly he approached the still slumbering vigo. Vigo's face grew more handsome as he fell asleep, no conceit implied. Aninda smiled as she continued to look at the vigo. Inget nin, he's a bad guy! Aninda's denial is back.

 

 

***

Vigo woke up at seven o'clock in the night. He rushed to the bathroom with Aninda. 

"Basic kebo! Sleepyhead!" Ejek aninda's. 

Vigo splashed aninda with water in his hand. 

"Diem chicks bawel!"

Aninda snorted in annoyance, peeling her tongue stealthily behind the vigo. 

Because the special menu made by aninda's mother has been presented neatly at the dinner table, inevitably Vigo must eat with the family aninda. Aninda frowned as she watched the vigo eat voraciously. Though the family's special menu is only fried salted fish, kale oseng, tempe fried, and sambal terasi. His little heart was happy to see the vigo bribing the food so eagerly. 

Because it was night, even though it had just finished eating, Vigo immediately paid off. 

"Vig, there was a text from your mother. From yovi too"

Aninda reports when Vigo is about to leave her home. 

Vigo looked at Aninda suspiciously, then opened his phone. 

"You read the text from my mother?" Ask vigo annoyed. 

Aninda hesitated. 

"Abroad! Why did you tell Yovi I was at your house?" Vigo's voice tone is high. 

"I don't know..."

Not yet aninda explained, vigo has left. In a hurry he turned on his motorbike, then disappeared from the view of Aninda. 

Aninda realized she had just made a big mistake. And that makes him nervous. 

Aninda's anxiety never subsided, especially when recalling the expression of vigo when leaving it earlier. Never been so angry. Aninda tried to digest back her actions. Is it wrong for him to tell the real yovi, that vigo is in his house? About reading a text from his mother, he wanted to explain that he did it because he was worried about something important, but Vigo had already left him. 

Vigo should thank me for telling his family, grumbled Aninda when alone in the room. It could be that his family is panicking because they lack one, keep reporting to the police, keep my family accused of kidnapping him, it's a hassle! Aninda started making things up, just to ease the anxiety of her heart. 

Even so, Aninda's heart can't be lied to. Anxiety still lingers in his heart. He was confused about what to do to get rid of the anxiety. 

You little guy bummer! Why am I thinking about him?

 

***

A cloudy morning for the heart of Aninda who is no less clouded. When aninda's lessons more silent, not as usual. To the extent that Bu Purwanti was suspicious of his silence. Riska suspects since the morning Aninda tried to hold BAB aka Dispose of Large Water. Another friend said there was a big boil on Aninda's tongue until she was quiet like that. 

Aninda decided to go to the school library, rather than having to be hurt to hear the pressure of her friends who were getting worse. Restiana is also in the library. 

"Why is that nin?" Tanya restiana approached aninda. 

"Again males really feel" replied Aninda. 

"You're not good at lying" shoot a half-sneaky blessing. 

Aninda rolled her eyes. "Actually..."

Restiana listened to aninda's curses enthusiastically. Sometimes he nodded, occasionally shaking. 

"Mending apologizes to nin" suggested restiana after aninda finished her story. 

"Who knows he's going to be that angry because of a trivial matter like that res?"

"We don't know, it's a trivial matter what it isn't for him. There could be other reasons that make him angry"

"Yes also yes res" apparently Aninda's logic has returned to its place.

 

***

Aninda dived here and there, exploring the whole school. Result nil. He couldn't find Vigo. Aninda resigned after her legs ache so far walking down all the corridors of her school. Oh my God, I haven't looked into the basketball room yet! Aninda was astonished as soon as she realized something was forgotten. 

Whether you can get the spirit from where, tergopoh aninda turned and stepped into the basketball room quite far. 

"Who's nin?" Ricko surprised aninda. 

Aninda held her chest in shock. "Eh, hi rick. Want to go for a walk again"

"The streets are pacing back and forth in front of the basketball room" Ricko laughed amusedly. 

"Eh, yes?" Again aninda showed her ketolololannya. 

Ricko suddenly changed his facial expression. "Nin, can I say something to you?"

Aninda laughs. "You're so serious!"

"I'm serious about nin!"

Aninda stopped laughing, ricko really serious apparently. 

"Long time I want to talk to you nin, but it doesn't feel like I'm meeting the right time" Ricko took a strong breath. 

"Don't scare me dong rick" Aninda was a little confused by the situation she was facing at the time. 

"I like you nin, baby you" those words came out of Ricko's mouth so quickly. 

Kontan aninda laughs. "Rick, don't be kidding me ah! Not funny to know!" Ricko pulled Aninda's hand, clasping her tightly. 

"I don't know why I met you earlier I immediately want to reveal my feelings that I've been feeling for a long time"

Aninda gawked, completely confused. 

"Nin, I know it's not romantic, it's not timely. But will you be my girl?"

Aninda nodded slowly. "You must have known me again. Isn't that rick?"

"Nine! Look me in the eye! I'm serious nin! I love you! Love from SD! I'm waiting for you!" Ricko spoke out loud.

Aninda nervous not playing. His heart is beating fast. I don't know what he's feeling right now. Fear, shock, all mixed in his heart. 

"Nin, I don't want you to belong to anyone else. You want to be my girl? You like me too, right?" Ricko started to get nervous himself. 

"No rick. Not so. Me, I've taken you like my own sister" replied Aninda. 

Ricko speechless. His eyes are getting sharper. "Are you still waiting for umar nin?" Aninda's tears almost spilled hearing ricko's question. 

"It's in vain that you ngarepin him nin. You don't know where he is now, do you? Aye right? I will not stop chasing you until it is proven that umar is really still there for you"

Restiana closed slowly. A drop of soft rolling tears. The drizzle makes the cold of the night so felt to the bone. His mood was cold, probably almost frozen. The fragility of his soul is increasingly visible due to fatigue that begins to hit. His love path is so steep. It's also dead-end.
