LOLLIPOPS

LOLLIPOP 9

Three days Aninda thought out loud - actually this is not her true nature. He thought of the thread of his love that was growing more stringy. If he stays on his feet - waiting for something uncertain - more people will get hurt. He must make a firm decision that will solve all these problems. 

Until Saturday, Aninda remained silent. His face was soft, weak, lethargic, slow. People who see it will think Aninda TKW Indonesia newly tortured employer. The joy that had been attached to him went somewhere. 

The whispers of his classmates were becoming more and more absurd. They mocked him exposed to shaman pellets that did not like his disappointment. There are also those who think Aninda has a strange virus so moody every day. 

Bu Purwanti suspects that this one student is suffering from English listening test syndrome which will be held next week. 

"There's a new kid in our school" restiana reported when they finished changing into sports clothes. 

Anna is not interested. "Moving when?"

"It turns out it was last Monday. So hard, we didn't hear the news"

Aninda smiled slightly, not responding to it anymore. He was busy folding his sports clothes to fit in. As Aninda opened the backpack, a piece of red envelope fell on the floor. Aninda glanced at Restiana, afraid she could see. It turned out that Restiana was also busy with her sports clothes. Hiding the envelope in the pocket of the skirt. 

As usual, during the break Aninda went to her her hermitage, the library. It just so happened that Restiana had not finished copying the trigonometric PR in class, so Aninda had the opportunity to open and read the contents of the envelope in the library. 

I'm waiting under the tree this afternoon

Umar

 

Aninda's hand shook violently after knowing the contents of the letter. His body was hot-cold, the roar in his heart came. Umar is back! Umar is waiting for him! Aninda was actually surprised, who put the envelope in her bag, and where umar knew her school address from. But Aninda is also happy, meaning that her wait has not been in vain. That means the biggest problem of his life will be solved today. Destiny began to run perfectly, aninda was happy. 

His uneasiness began to appear when he thought about the meeting later. Aninda's heart felt. What if umar has changed, what if it turns out he is married, or even umar to meet him to just say goodbye?

Aninda shook her head strongly. Umar must have kept his promise!

"Nin, a letter from whom?" Ricko voice. Apparently from earlier he was observing Aninda from behind. 

Hiding the letter from Ricko. 

"Umar is back, Rick. You don't fucking take me anymore" 

Ricko's face looks flat. "Not necessarily he returned to your arms nin" Aninda gawked. Silently cannot answer. 

"He won't come back for you!"

 

***

Aninda can't wait to meet umar, the guy she's been waiting for. Cheerfully shining back on his face, a sweet smile he always showed to every friend who passed him. Does it feel like it's grasping the world, or maybe it's like flying into space? Aninda wanted to show Ricko that umar was still there for her. 

"Nin, look at that guy standing in front of X-9"

Restiana disperse the beautiful daydream of aninda. Reluctantly aninda turned to the direction appointed restiana. 

"He's the new kid nin. He said his name was umar. Saucy yes!"

Aninda's heart wants to be dislodged hearing the name umar called. Aninda looked back at the guy. Aninda and umar's views meet. Aninda's heart beats faster. 

Ah, the time he umar who has been waiting for? If not, how could there be a red envelope in it? He is surely umar! Unsparing. Umarah has returned!

In order for Restiana to be unsuspecting, Aninda restrained her emotions and tried to behave normally. Again he looked at the guy. Later also will meet, Aninda's heart giggled happily. 

 

***

Ricko's heart is broken. Umar will meet aninda later in the afternoon. He really didn't want that to happen. He did not want to lose Aninda a second time and for the same reason. His heart asked, why is umar just meeting aninda now? Why not just for a long time? The grudge that burned him now flared up again. The grudge he had been hiding from Umar. 

 

***

That afternoon drizzle down to accompany Aninda's steps towards the covenant tree. Swing his legs like following the strains of cheerful music that colored his heart. His mother was surprised to see her daughter smiling in her own room, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, maybe even in the bathroom. How is aninda not so crisp? He will meet the person he misses the most. 

Aninda sat under a tree while occasionally tidying up her appearance. He could not wait for the appearance of Umar. Umar should have been waiting for him. Maybe he wants a surprise, Aninda thought.

 

*** 

Aninda's heart became agitated. For an hour he stood up, sat down, walked back and forth, daydreaming, looking left and right around the tree. No one's coming. Aninda bit her nails, trying to ease her impatience. 

Umar should have come, umar should have been in front of Aninda. Curiosity turns into disappointment. His waiting was unanswered. Umar forgot, or.... maybe umar doesn't want to see him again? Aninda's tears are spreading. 

The afternoon. The sunlight is almost non-existent. Aninda reached into the small bag she was carrying, taking her butut. With trembling hands Aninda contacted the person she desperately needed now. He returned to the original decision. 

While waiting for the person he contacted earlier, Aninda walked in front of the SD gate. Maybe this is the last time to see the SD gate because in that place SD is now built skyscrapers. According to the picture on the large board that is set near the zinc fence, the location will be established star hotel. His former SD moved to nearby housing. 

Aninda's heart was completely crushed, it all ended in vain. There were no more memories left for him. It is time to let go of the past that only incised wounds. 

"Miss?" Yovi has arrived. He was worried to see Aninda who was flooded with tears. 

Aninda had no power to endure her pain. She immediately hugged Yovi, without being able to say a word. Only sobs were heard. 

Yovi gently stroked aninda's hair. He thought Aninda was sad because the SD where she used to go to school changed into a star hotel.

"Udah ya nin, can not cry gini. Cup.cup.." Yovi tried to calm the growing crying of Aninda. 

Aninda cried yovi for a few minutes. With sadness he looked up, looking at Yovi who was also staring at him. 

"Yov?" Aninda. Crying subsided. 

"What nin?"

"I want to be your girlfriend. I accept your love" said Aninda Parau. 

Yovi stared intently at Aninda's eyes, looking for earnestness in them. Gelora invited him to dance happily. Yovi smiled at Aninda, then hugged her tightly. 

"Thank you nin. From now on you're mine" yovi kissed aninda's forehead. Hugged his new lover even tighter. 

Their martyrdom was interrupted by the sound emanating from hp yovi. The guy reached into his pants pocket to pick up the phone. 

"Hello?" Yovi kalem. 

He was silent, listening to something. The person who called him spoke long. 

Yovi's expression turned frantic. Aninda who saw him was worried. 

"What's? Where now?" Yovi asked the person across there in a hasty tone. 

Then the connection broke. 

Yovi looked at aninda in panic. "Vigo's in the hospital now"

 

***

Satriya is next to Vigo when aninda and yovi arrive at the hospital. Vigo lay weak, his body bruised full of punch scars. Yovi hurriedly approached his sister and looked at her pityfully. 

Aninda who was still shocked stared at satriya, as if receiving an explanation. 

"The words of the residents at the scene, he was gang-raped by children are unclear" explained satriya flatly.

Aninda approaches vigo. A strange feeling re-emerged in his mind. He stroked yovi's back, trying to calm his girlfriend's heart. Even though his own heart felt more painful to see the state of vigo that is really sad. It really is a day you should forget. 

"Vigo is fighting, obviously he has a lot of enemies" said Yovi lirih. 

"He was ganged yov" explained the short satriyo. Feeling uncomfortable, he immediately left the vigo room. 

Yovi covered his face with both hands. "It's my fault I can't take care of him"

Aninda pulled yovi's hand, then clasped it tightly. He could not see his lover grieving. "It's a disaster yov, you can't say that" aninda hugged yovi. 

After a bit of calm, yovi said softly to aninda. "We're going home now"

Slowly Aninda stroked the vigo's forehead, looking at him fixedly. 

"Vig, I'll go home first. You must recover quickly" said aninda lirih. 

After once again looking at her twin face, yovi came out. He immediately met the satriya who stood corridor. 

"Sat, take care of the vigo first. I'm bringing aninda home"

Satriya nodded. 

"Please find out who the mastermind is" whispered yovi very slowly. 

 

*** 

A week has passed...

 

The news of aninda dating yovi spread widely in school. Now everyone knows they are officially lovers. Aninda was so angry that almost everyone was talking about her. Most of them tend to talk about the negative side. Like, how lucky the girl**** was to get the school prince, to the extent that there are rumors of aninda wearing pellets to hook yovi. 

"Their support does not need to be digubris nin" said soft yovi while sitting together in a chair that was corridor after school hours. 

Aninda rolled both her eyes irritated. "Yes. But sometimes it's outrageous"

"Don't be too messy. Next week is a general semester review and you must study seriously"

"Okay, not ready for a general replay!" Aninda scratched her hair. 

"Yuk learn!" Yovi gently pulls aninda's hand. 

 

***

Apparently yovi invited aninda to study at his home. Aninda was still amazed by the grandeur of her boyfriend's house. He had not visited for a long time, so be advised that he was still gawking at the order of the luxury house. 

Aninda sat lesehan on the family room carpet, waiting for yovi to change clothes. He took off his backpack, then took out the semester test practice sheet that the teacher had just handed out. Aninda read some things she didn't understand at all. Several times his forehead was wrinkled and his lips pursed. 

"What's nin?" Aninda's unidentified female voice broke the girl's concentration. He looked around, looking for the source of the sound that turned out to be coming from the kitchen. The woman brought drinks on the tray. 

Aninda was confused. Usually, tiyem mbok who bring drinks. How is this beautiful woman now?

"Cock-awkwardly? Come on, have a drink. Thirsting home from school" the woman smiled broadly while sitting on a soft sofa. 

"Well, mama's tumben made you a drink" the vigo emerged from the room. His face has recovered. 

Oh, this is the twin's mom! Inner aninda. Hurriedly with his silly smile he gave a greeting, "good afternoon, auntie" 

The beautiful woman chuckled at Aninda's clumsiness. "Siang nin"

Aninda shakes hands with Aunt Lira, her lover's mother. This time he smiled sweetly. 

"Where'd you go vig?" Mom asked in wonder because Vigo was wearing a jacket. 

Aunt Lira shook her head slowly, there was a slight look of concern on her face. "He's always been like that"

Facing that unexpected situation, Aninda was confused as to what to say. "Maybe he's got an aunt problem"

Aunt Lira smiled. "No-nine. Vigo behaving like that was also aunty's fault"

"Udahlah ma, vigo is so right" Yovi appeared from his room. He took a drink at the table, then chose to sit next to Aninda. His hand grabbed one of the problem sheets. 

"Yes already, aunty lives first huh nin. You guys are studying diligently" aunty lira went inside. 

Aninda smiled assentingly, she was still a little clumsy. Beautiful lira aunt is not playing, it deserves all her handsome son. Especially said friends aninda, the father of Caucasian descent. Complete already cool seedlings out. 

 

***

The semester arrives...

 

Along the corridor of Harapan Jaya High School was filled with a collection of tense faces. Students and students are busy with their notebooks. The first test is mathematics. 

Aninda scratched her head, her brain almost exploding looking at the trigonometric formulas of the notes. Restiana who was sitting next to him was still seriously memorizing. 

"Bro, don't forget to send a yes!" Shouted the fat guy who walked in front of Aninda. 

The fat guy was apparently yelling at the yovi who was passing by him. He patted yovi on the shoulder with a gleeful expression. 

Yovi smiled calmly while giving a thumbs up. He approached Aninda, then squatted in front of her. Aninda's friends who saw her were full of envy. 

"Where? Ready yet?" Tanya yovi looked into Aninda's eyes which implied nervousness. 

"Actually not yet" replied Aninda quietly as she scratched her head again.  Yovi smiled amusedly. "It is important that you learn. Ntar don't be nervous" Aninda nodded quickly. His nervousness became more apparent. 

The bell in rang loudly. The sound that signaled the public replay was about to begin sounded frightening to aninda. 

"Good luck baby!" After saying so, yovi walked quickly to his class. 

Aninda was bearded, as if she did not understand the words of her strength. 

"That means, 'good luck, dear'" restiana sneered at aninda. 

Aninda gawking.

 

*** 

During the general replay Aninda often moves agitated because of the math problem she faces is difficult to ask for forgiveness, making her brain like a broken cassette tape. The prayers of his beloved are not effective at all. The supervisor of the room, Bu purwanti had since glared suspiciously at him. 

Of the forty questions, only twenty were worked out. His head looked up, hoping for God's help. Five minutes had passed, but still Aninda could not solve the problem anymore. Aninda turned her head, looking at the blessing expectantly.

"Res!" Bisik aninda lirih trying to call restiana. 

Restiana who was two benches behind him did not hear. He was busy with what was in front of him. 

"Res!" Aninda raised her tone a little. 

Restiana seemed increasingly excited to make a graffiti on her paper. 

Several times aninda tried to attract the attention of restiana, such as dropping the iron ruler that raises a loud voice, but restiana remained unmoved. It is precisely the dehaman Bu purwanti that he got. 

With aninda's heart stood up from the chair. "Restiana, I'm calling you to ask for an answer!" Shouted aninda like a possessed person. 

The classmates gawked in disbelief as they stared at Aninda with amusement. Restiana gave aninda the code to sit back. 

Too late. 

"She!" Bu purwanti shouted to call his name. 

 

***

After school Aninda walked gontai to the teacher's office at Bu purwanti's request during the public speech earlier. The atmosphere of the teacher's office was quiet, the teachers were in the public replay committee room. Aninda's eyes are looking for the figure of Bu purwanti sitting there, facing a student who stands on his back to Aninda. The tall guy's shirt was scuffed and out of his pants, just as messy as his hair. 

Must be a badung guy, inner aninda while walking slowly approaching Bu purwanti's table. Aninda glanced at the guy. The vigo!

"Well, you're finally getting together. One is a late handyman, the other one is found cheating" said Bu purwanti. 

Aninda glanced at the vigo who was staring at the ceiling, seemingly unconcerned. 

"Mom should have reported you to BP, but not the heart" said Bu purwanti. 

Lonely moment. 

"That's it. As punishment, the two of you cleaned the toilet next to the school mosque for three days" Bu Purwanti said. 

Aninda took a long breath. Relieved. Vigo's expression did not change. Flat. Or.. a fool?

 

*** 

Yovi decides to go to the basketball room after finding out his sister and boyfriend punished Bu purwanti. The school basketball team is gathered inside. Satriya was with them too. 

"We already know the culprit yov" said satriya coldly as soon as yovi was inside.

Yovi stared at satriya with a blank look. 

"We have to teach them a lesson!" Connect the fiery rian.

The others shouted loudly in agreement to rian's proposal. 

"We have to know their reasons first" said flat yovi. 

Satriya's heart melos. There's something yovi can't know. 

 

*** 

Aninda shuddered at the ferocity of the school toilet. A stinging smell irritates the nose. The original white ceramic now looks disgusting with permanent brown stains. Aninda pinched her nose with both fingers. The other hand carries a bucket of soapy water.

"Here's the bucket! Even dreamy!" Snappy vigo rough. He's got mop equipment. 

Aninda rubbed her eyes in annoyance. Reluctantly he approached vigo. Then put the bucket near the guy. 

Vigo starts cleaning one of the toilet cubicles, Aninda cleans the next room. 

"Hey, mars creatures, so people don't get sentiments anyway?" Shouted aninda raucous. 

Vigo did not answer, irritating Aninda. 

Both work in mute. All that was heard was the sound of water and brushes. 

"The vig!"

"Hmmm..." Answer vigo ketus. 

"Why don't yovi play basketball anymore?"

"Important?"

"I'm important to know! I'm the girl!"

"I don't think it matters!"

Aninda snorted in annoyance, then fieryly approached the vigo. "Vig I'm serious!" Vigo let out a furious breath. 

 

***

Marsya is still busy with the files in the OSIS room, while her two best friends pay for snacks at school. The laughter of the basketball players was clearly heard on Marsya. He looked out the window, the basketball kids were training. Satriya also goes along with them and of course yovi. Apparently the yovi camp is competing against the satriya camp. Several times the ball is in the hands of the yovi, but always failed to get into the ring. 

Marsha's heart seemed to be torn from old wounds that he was trying to bury. Yovi should be the captain of his school basketball team, it should be the yovi who is the best player, not the vigo. Marsya's eyes warmed up remembering her past. 

Marsya was only tenth grade and she was still very innocent. Untouched salon and all kinds of beauty equipment polish. Her long hair was always in half, and thick glasses framed her beautiful eyes. 

The school library was quiet as usual. He pulled a thick book from a small shelf, then began to open up its contents. Suddenly from the side a girl pulled her hair. 

"God! Cute girl! Very much you!" Shouted the senior who grabbed him. He was with a gang. 

Marsya was complaining of pain. They just laugh. Laughter that haunts Marsya's dreams. 

One of the tomboys pushed Marsya until he fell down on the small shelf. The shelf creaked because of the impact of Marsya's body. Everyone laughed again. 

"I remember, don't you dare again deketin yovi. He's inceranku!"

Those were the last words from the bunch of bad girls. They left with a terrible laugh. Marsya who was still frightened cried. His body is still trembling. 

"Yes?" Yovi emerged from behind the shelf. She was shocked to find Marsya crying in fear. 

Marsya immediately stood up, her hands resting on the shelf she had hit earlier. The shelf again creaked loudly and began to sway. 

"Revelation!" Yovi's swift screams pushed Marsya away from the collapsed shelf. Marsya was spared from the spills of thick books that fell simultaneously. Unfortunately, it is Yovilah who is the victim. His fingers were permanently injured as he tried to support the shelf. 

Yovi can't play basketball anymore. His hands can not be used perfectly to shoot the ball, to dribble only sometimes difficult. Even if you occasionally come to play, yovi do it just as a recreation and not a pursuit of achievement. 

This changed Marsya drastically. He was determined to be the person that all students feared at his school. He changed his appearance to the current Marsha. 

***

"Do you really love yovi?" Aninda was surprised to hear the vigo question being uttered without the shady aling-aling. 

"Why are you asking like that?" Aninda glanced at the vigo who was now looking at her seriously. 

They're speechless. Perhaps both of them felt a little confused by the situation that suddenly turned serious. 

"I'm just asking" said Vigo at last. 

"I will always be around him as long as he wants me" said Aninda stiffly. He regretted saying something like that. 

"That's not the answer I want to hear" Vigo looked back at Aninda sharply. 

"Then?"

"Oh, it's also hard to talk to the superloading guy!" Vigo's eyes looked disdainfully at Aninda. 

Aninda grunting. "Bas on mars creatures!" Sebal.  "What did you say?" Oh, it turns out that Vigo cares. 

Aninda answered casually. "What did I say just now?" Vigo growled. 

Aninda giggles with satisfaction.
