Love for Faith
Something Between Naya and Gilang
He was astonished by the change in attitude of Faith. Since joining the Camp with Scouts, a few days ago, his best friend became more quiet. Faith that is usually installment, hilarious, often throwing jokes in class, is now more calm. Not only Gilang, classmates, even teachers were also astonished and curious about Iman. In addition to being more quiet and calm, the guy who looks like a Korean boyband is also often seen daydreaming and not focused on listening to lessons.
“Iman, answer!” Bu Lita's voice broke the reverie of Faith and the man's reflexes shifted his gaze to the front of the class.
“The answer is C, Mom,” answered Faith accordingly. I don't know why he wanted to answer that. If I could bid the same thing, Iman wanted all the multiple choice answers to be C, which made him think of the first letter of the girl's first name.
Gilang who sat beside him repeatedly nudged the hand of Faith. “Man, that's not the question.” The friend whispered while warning Faith. But not understood, Iman still cuek.
“Surely Mom told you about the double choice, Man?” timpal Bu Lita is upset.
Faith scratched her head in confusion. “Ya, anyway C, Bu the answer, according to the heart.” said Faith relaxed, still with the style of cueknya.
Gilang widened his eyes and shook his head to watch his behavior. He was confused to tell Faith in what way, because his best friend looked like a dazed person. Her body is in this class, but her mind wanders out of nowhere.
“Astagfirullah, Iman, you haven't had breakfast until you don't concentrate so? Mom, ‘kan only nanya you have been to the problem sheet yet? Answer the C! Do not you also amnesia again if today it is repeated.” The words of Bu Lita made the cheeks of Faith reddish, ashamed.
“Eh .... Udah Bu.” Faith cengenesan.
“From yesterday I noticed you were on the brakes, Man? Not usually. You again thrush?” bu Lita asked with laughter from all the students in Class XI.
“Alhamdulillah, I am not deficient in vitamin C Bu, so free from canker sores.” Duh, again the name of the vitamin mentioned by Faith reminds him of the beautiful figure of the heart.
“Terus why are you a pretty boy like this? Sitting sweetly, not as usual. Kan Ibu kepo as well as deg-degan.”
“Nothing, really, Mom. Just a lot more thoughts. Dizziness thinking about the price of the quota that continues to crawl up, while pocket money does not go up. Just think about Kamen Rider's airtime which was moved to a really big night, Bu.” Faith's answer again invites laughter from all students in the class.
“Yes, geez, you are, just keep answering. Yes already, let's not get dizzy, you do the repeated questions. But, don't just like your curse.”
Faith flips through the pages of daily repetitions in her hands. “Bu, why all essai? No double choice.”
“Use nawar again, it's up to Mom dong. What if it is a multiple choice? Really freak you out,” said Bu Lita while fixing the location of his glasses.
“Let's count the buttons, Mom if you meet a difficult math problem.” Back the classroom atmosphere was crowded by the laughter of the students who were in it.
“Have .... Already .... It's been. Everything is done immediately before the break time arrives.” Bu Lita tried to calm down the noisy sounds of the students that were like the buzzing of a bunch of bees. Brakes. After Bu Lita kicked the table, then the classroom atmosphere went back to quiet.

At the break, Iman invited Gilang to stop by the library. This makes Gilang more astonished by the behavior of his best friend. Throughout their history of school here, only this time the two true friends of the kocak set foot into the library.
“Man, I'm hungry. Why even come here? Is the canteen again renovated yes, continue to move to perpus?”
“Not, Lang. According to the information I got from Marina, Cinta Sama Naya who is indeed her hobby of reading it, more often spend time in the perpus than in the canteen.”
“Oh, so. Now I get it. You invite me here, because surely at this time they are again in.”
“Sip, sakep.” Iman held up his thumb while continuing to step into the library located not far from the school cafeteria.
“Sembarangan elo, pay royalties to me, just now elo already plagiarized my flagship words.” Gilang put his hands on the friend, just like a child who asked for snacks on his mother.
“Halah, only borrow once already calculated.” Faith menoyor the head of his friend who was immediately replied by Gilang. Be the voice of two close friends that is rowdy.
“Sstt, noisy, it's in the library. If you want to be crowded, go there to the market!” hardik Bu Azkia the librarian made the two cupped both hands and compactly whispered an apology. Then they prepared to go further into another part of the library. However, their steps were stopped by the second strike from Bu Azkia.
“Heh, where are you going? Fill in the list first!” Once again Azkia rebuked the two while holding out a pen and pointing to a large and thick book that was stored on the table. Soon, Iman and Gilang took turns writing in the book.
And this is where the duo of thick friends are now stranded, wailing like a stray person. Though their stomachs were rumbling, but still focused on circulating the view to all corners of the bus. No, not looking for a book to read, but looking for two clear creatures created by God who have diverted their world.
“Eh, Man, the Same Love Naya.” Gilang pointed in the direction where Love and Naya seemed to be sitting seriously reading the book.
Faith glanced in the direction Gilang pointed out, and the two dragged their steps there. After approaching, the two even elbowed each other.
“Eh, Brother Gilang, sit here.” Naya, who first realized the presence of the duo, shifted her sitting position. While Love looked up and glanced at Faith who was putting on her sweetest smile, then struggled again with the book she read.
“Naya, to my canteen yuk temenin,” invite Gilang while winking to his interlocutor.
“Why elo dole? Here I blow his eyes.” Faith drew closer to Gilang and turned her lips ready to make a puff.
“Eh, not really. Yuk, Nay.” Gilang refused the help of Iman and then once again invited the girl. Naya who had begun to understand the intent behind the Gilang blink code earlier, moved from her seat.
“Nay, where are you going?” Love pulls her best friend's arm trying to prevent Naya from getting out of the perpus.
“I'll stay a while, hungry. Want to nitip? I'll buy you food.”
Love answered with a weak twitch, her beautiful lips pursed.
“Don't pout, it'll be beautiful gone. Just doang really, I will come back here again.” Naya twilts the chin of Love. “Awas, don't mess with Love yes, later fired you know the same Mr. Kepsek.” This time Naya's gaze turned towards Iman which was answered with a thumbs up from the guy.
Love looked with a resigned look at his best friend who stepped out leaving the perpus with Gilang. Though in the heart, Love is reluctant to be left alone with Faith. The beautiful girl hoped that Kak Ikhsan would accompany her, not her sister.
After being outside the library, Gilang and Naya did not go directly to the canteen. They even peeked at Faith and Love from behind the door.
“Kak Iman it has a crush yes same Love?” naya asked half a whisper.
“Yes, since seeing him for the first time when he first entered school, the love of Faith to Love suddenly appeared and continues to bloom until now.”
They went back silent, silent. Then again fixated on Faith and Love that looks stiff, jaim each other. Love, though Iman sat beside him, was engrossed in his reading book. While Iman seems misbehaved, confused, do not know what to say and do to attract the attention of his bluff. The nervousness that ambushed Faith seemed real.
“Pedekate his friend brother was lousy. Indeed just this time huh Brother Iman has a crush on girls?” Naya regrets the way Faith approaches Love, her best friend.
“Snow I am. Uh, if Love actually has a boyfriend yet? Or who does she like again?” ask Gilang without turning his face to his interlocutor. He was still fixated on observing the Faith and began to follow greget to see the behavior of his friend who did not dwell in front of his bluff.
“No, know, Brother. He never told.“ At first glance, their views collide, making both misbehavior and reflexes turn each other's faces in the opposite direction. “Tuh .... Tuh .... Tuh, ‘kan, brother friend suck, ngebosenin. His love so go tuh.” Naya's pointed index finger pointed inward. Love seemed to move from his seat and seemed to be part of the Faith that the man greeted him with just a nod, not a deterrent.
Duh, Iman elo why the hell? Usually also a santuy, grumbled Gilang in the heart with a feeling of anxiety.
Not yet Gilang and Naya left their reconnaissance place, both of them were shocked by Love and Faith which turned out together from the bushel.
“Ngapain on here? He said hungry to the canteen?” tanya Cinta was astonished to see Gilang and Naya look clumsy.
“On the look of both of us huh? Look out, later his eyes are swollen.” Faith giggles because the threat makes Gilang and Naya compactly hold their eyelids.
Fortunately behind the library door there were two brooms, so suddenly an idea crossed Gilang's mind. That cute-looking guy took those two brooms. The one he held, the other he gave to Naya. The two began to make sweeping movements.
“Eh, not really. We're cleaning up around here. Asked by Ms. Azkia. Yes, ‘kan Bu?” shouted Gilang, making the netra of the library guard glare at him.
“Elo both just. Come in already bell tuh.” Faith embraces Gilang's shoulders. The two men walk behind Cinta who is also seen clutching Naya's arm. Near the school, they split up. Love and Naya walk straight towards class X, while Iman and Gilang turn right, towards class XI.
“Man, why the hell? Is the pedecate really stiff? Not early on. Elo looks hot! It looks lousy in the elo perpus! Where's elo's sense of humor?” check it out as soon as they get in class. The classroom situation is still crowded, because the teacher who will give the next lesson has not entered. Faith scratching the head. He himself did not think. Every time you are near Love, Faith feels awkward. His sense of humor, too, evaporated, out of nowhere.
“Ndon't know, Lang. I feel like he likes other people.”
“Know where elo is? Not even at war have immediately given up losing aja.”
“From his attitude to me. Cuek, cold, even if I talk to him he responds indifferently.”
“Duh, Man, Man. Where are the elo-style pedecate moves that are often told to me? Ngerayu Bu Nadia aja elo can, time to Love is not.”
“This is another situation, Lang. My feelings of love are the same Love comes from inside here.” Faith pointed to his heart.
“Yes hence, if indeed the feeling of elo to him is really from the heart, elo kudu fight to the point of the final blood.”
“Ya, see later deh.”
“Say Naya, elo suck.”
“Cie, which has started to deket,” joked Iman made Gilang cheeks meet red.
“Yes yes, I do, fast motion. Not like elo, suck. I also go home from school with her promise to meet.” Gilang laughed satisfied to see Faith pouting. There was envy caught by Gilang from the look on his best friend's face. Not Faith his name if it can not cover his feelings and reply Gilang.
“Congratulations yes, elo get beautiful glass. Take there in the canteen.” Faith greeted Gilang while patting the back of the friend. This time it was the turn of Faith who laughed with satisfaction, because it had made a look of confusion.
“What do you mean elo?” asked Gilang in an annoyed tone while shaking the hand of Faith that was experiencing it. I started shorting the child, I repeated the error. Glazed head-scarf.
“Well that was, I count elo three times say the word suck, so elo get a free glass, hahaha.”
Laughter of Faith that bland watching Gilang's funny face looked upset, immediately stopped, because saw Madam Nadia was already standing in front of the class, preparing to convey the material. All students of class XI sat neatly on their respective benches and began to take out Indonesian notebooks.
***
As promised Gilang and Naya when in the library earlier, after school they met in the cafeteria. Both are talking about Faith and Love. Gilang and Naya will try to help Faith and Love get close.
“Where, Brother?”
“Yes, that's it. Faith seems to be prejudiced that Love has a betrothed. What I caught anyway, he was afraid of his feelings being rejected the same Love.”
“Pity also yes, Brother Faith. Must harbour feelings. Everything that is held back is not good. Like mules, but can not come out fart, the stomach must feel great all day.”
It's funny, too, kid. Gilang looked at the face of the girl sitting beside him while laughing. He did not think, behind his calm face, it turned out that Naya was fun too.
“Iya, Nay. Especially as his best friend, he felt sorry. You see because of this, Faith has changed a lot, not like the previous Faith, just worrying. If it continues, Iman harbors feelings, I am worried, his face will be filled with acne.”
“Hahaha. Yes, Brother, I understand.”
“Well, that's why I asked for help to bring them closer. Who knows if it could be.”
“Waalaikum greetings, be careful. If anyone bothers me, call my name three times while stepping on the earth ten times, guaranteed deh...”.
“What's guaranteed, Brother?”
“Available elo shoes will break and injure the soles of the feet, hehehe. Kidding, be careful yes.”
“Iya, Brother, thanks. First yes.”
Gilang nodded while replying to the wave of the Arab-looking girl.
Duh***, why not go home together just now, will later be able to know where her home is. Just got my mind. The guy with the middle hair ran towards the school gate. However, the figure he was looking for had already disappeared from sight.
The next day, the plan that Naya had prepared at home to bring Faith closer to Love and last night had been told to Gilang via chat whatsapp, was not successful. This Arab-looking girl was reporting it to Gilang in the cafeteria.
“Duh, sister, I guess the plan I made didn't work. Still Brother Iman same Love so, jaim each other. Failed deh.” Naya looked desperate. Tiredness was clearly visible on his face. Many times this sweet-faced chick wiped the sweat on her forehead.
“Shortly, Nay.” Gilang moved from his seat accompanied by a look of wonder from Naya. Shortly after, the middle-haired guy was sitting back in front of Naya with a bottle of mineral water. His hand began to open the lid, then thrust the bottle at the girl.
“Nih, drink first.”
“Still, Brother.” Naya received the Gilang-given mineral water and began to gulp it. After Naya's breathing began to settle down, she again began to make a sound. “So how dong, Kak?”
Gilang raises his shoulders. Her brain was dead-end, not a single idea came to her mind. Both were pensive, not knowing what to say. Suddenly without them noticing, Cinta was already standing in front of the canteen table whose stool was occupied by Gilang and Naya.
“Naya, searched to perpus it turns out to be here. Now you have a new tongkrongan?” The beautiful girl glanced at Gilang, then looked back at Naya.
Naya who was surprised by the presence of Love, reflexively stood up from her seat. “Eh, Love, what's up?”
“Let's go home from school to Gramedia ya.”
“But, Love ...”
“Not there but, but. I'm going to buy Shireishou's latest novel, Obsession. Today at the promotion, tomorrow it is back to normal prices. Temenin yes, please.” Love cupped her hands together and begged her best friend to grant her wish.
Naya looked confused at being pulled that way. However, for the sake of seeing his best friend happy, he nodded slowly.
“Thanks, yes.” Love looks very excited to see a nod from his best friend. He passed quickly from the canteen with wide strides, returning to his favorite place, the library.
Naya then scowled. Not that he is not loyal friends, do not want to help friends, but this time he is again PMS, until his mood and body are feeling bad. Good thing the guy we're talking to right now, the guy's fun. So, he felt a little amused. However, Naya also did not think, every time she was near Kak Gilang, she always felt comfortable. A moment later, the look on the face of this sweet girl turned cheerful.
“Lho, it was pouting. Now even smile to yourself. For-for or his excitement,” said Gilang who was surprised to see the change in mood of the girl next to him.
“I have an idea, Brother, how to make Kak Faith and Love familiar.”
“How?”
“This is me bisikkin.”
Gilang seemed to smile satisfied with the plan expressed by Naya. This cute-looking guy admits to his idea this girl is brilliant. He was sure, this time their efforts and strategies would work. Their togetherness must end, because the bell of the break after the middle rang loudly. Gilang and Naya say goodbye, heading to their respective classes.
“Love, sorry. I don't think I can drive to Gramed. Mama asked me to hurry home, sent to the market, nyari cake to prepare arisan.” Naya cupped her hands together with a face.
“Ya, how's dong? Who am I to there? Papa also can not be asked for help, want a meeting of the principals.”
“Sorry Yes, Love.” Once again Naya showed her hearty face, when in fact she wanted to laugh at the sight of Confused Love. He knows, Love can't go anywhere on its own. This is due to Mr. Baratha's overprotective attitude towards him. The Papa will not give permission for the princess just the wayangnya walk alone, there must be someone accompanying, then the permit will be given. Sorry, my friend, if I obey your will, can mess up this neatly arranged plan. Naya smiled meaningfully.
“Nothing, really, relax. I can go alone,” said Love slowly as if talking to myself. His tone sounded doubtful. Cinta hopes Naya can change her decision and is willing to take her, because surely Papa will be angry if he finds out he is going to Gramedia alone. Love asked her permission to go alone with Naya.
Hearing that, Naya's heart cheered. Yes, coincidences. Naya is confident that a situation like this will make her plan work and run smoothly.
“Begin this time, Love. You ask to intercede with Brother Iman, surely he wants.”
“Hah? Same her? No, not.” Love rejects Naya's proposal and affirms it with hand gestures.
“Ya is up. From you can not get promo price.” Naya glanced towards Love. The tail of his eyes caught, Love was in great confusion. However, Naya is sure, Cinta will definitely accept his proposal, considering that his best friend is very fond of Shireishou, and will not be willing to miss the promo of the idol writer's novel.
“Yes, I want to. But, you delivered it to him yes.”
Naya answered by linking the thumb and index finger, forming the letter O. Yes, succeeded. Naya pulls the phone out of her uniform skirt pocket, then sends a chat to Gilang.
Meanwhile, in class XI, Gilang seemed to be trying to persuade Faith. This was in accordance with the plan that had been drawn up with Naya.
“Man, you know what? Naya said, today Cinta wants to go to Gramedia, buy her Obsession Shireishou novel."
“Keep, what is my relationship?”
“Hadeuh, Ibro, the same one that is so elo slow, can not think clearly. Charming, Man. Elo take it there. This is your chance to make pedekate.” Gilang was anxious to see Iman who heard this news even cuek.
“So yeah? If he doesn't want me to go with him?”
“Yes, Faith. Elo-brain really should be sharpened. Yeah, well, try to bargain to get him there. The problem he wants or not, at least elo have tried to show that elo is the same attention he. Bad .... Severe.”
“Ya, I'll try.”
“Don't wait, Man. You have to move fast. If you are silent, Love will not know that you like him.”
“Now? I have to nyamperin Love to that class?”
“Iya, now. Time for elo fighting, show that elo likes him.” Gilang clenched his hands and held them up.
“Kan now mah learn first. Elo want me to be punished as Miss Lita leaves the class hours? Santuy lah, later, ‘kan go home to school?” Faith patted his best friend's shoulder.
“I .... Yeah, I mean go home from school. Hehehe, I was wrong? Sorry, sorry.” Crossed his head, because he was too eager to motivate Iman to go forward to approach his worship.
“Elo bring more money? I borrow first to buyin Love novel same treat eat there.”
“Down, Ibro. Want to deketin girls do not have capital. Fortunately I happened to bring.” Gilang took out two hundred thousand bills from his pants pocket and gave them to Faith.
“Hatur nohun, Lang. Relax, at home I have a large chicken piggy bank two pieces.” Faith put the money in her pants pocket.
“But the content does not exist, ‘kan?”
“Hahaha, know that it's just a display. Relax, tomorrow I'll definitely change the money. Thanks yes.”
Gilang nodded while inwardly praying that Naya's plan and her uniting Faith and Love worked, at least success used to bring them close.
“Eh, but, briefly .... A minute.” Faith seemed to think until the man's forehead wrinkled, making Gilang also frowned and wondered what the friend was thinking.
“Gue, ‘kan only bring one.” helmet
“Ibro, I guess there's something important you think about.” He looks angry and upset. If Iman is a rooster, it has been devoured until only the bones are left.
“Ya is important. What if I was told?”
“Man, Man. Elo is a guy. Dong business. Borrow the cake, to whom.”
“Iya deh, later I to stop by the guard post.”
“Why elo? Want to steal the helmet, Mr Sapri?”
“Traditional. Elo don't be from nudu. That slander is more cruel than fitness. Although subscription punished teacher, but I am his true friend school security guard.”
“I mean elo stop by there to borrow a helmet?”
Along with Bu Lita's arrival to class XI, Gilang could breathe a sigh of relief seeing Iman nod his head. Thankfully, my friend's brain is clear of crime, so is the scream of Gilang's heart.
Gilang and Naya follow Faith and Love to Gramedia. Every movement of two people who guard each other's image, did not escape the attention of the two. Thankfully, their efforts were not in vain. The two looked at it with their own eyes, Love and Faith seemed to be chatting familiarly in one of the food courts near Gramedia. Sometimes laughter comes from both. Gilang and Naya smiled happily watching that.
“Alhamdulillah, Brother, the way we succeeded.” Netra Naya sparkles happily to see Love, her best friend laughs loosely. And so does Faith, she seems happy.
“Thank you, Nay helped me. Without the idea of the elo, I couldn't possibly bring them together until this close. Hopefully they can be.”
“Aamiin. Yes, Brother both. Actually anyway, Brother Iman Sama Cinta is clop, just keep each other prestige.”
“Nay, we are yuk.” She covered her mouth with both hands. I don't know why, those words could just be thrown away. “Sorry, keceplosan.”
Naya smiled little seeing the guy misbehaving. “Hayu, Brother. Who is afraid,” said Naya while staring at Gilang. Netra the two momentarily clashed. Gilang and Naya are misbehaving. Both of them turned their eyes towards Faith and Love.
“Meanway? The naya? How's this? We are officially dating at this time?”
“Iya, Brother.”
“Truly, Nay?” The guy still could not believe what he had just experienced, afraid that this was just a dream in broad daylight. But a small nod from Naya catapulted her mind into space.
“After this, want ‘kan if later I have a lot of nicotine Brother?”
“Ready, commander. I am willing to be anything. Hayu girlfriend, friend okay, best friend so, at the same time concurrently online ojek maker you can also, even without application.” Naya laughs showing dimples on both cheeks, adding beauty to her face. While Gilang scratched his head, only to realize that my elo greeting from him had now turned into me you.
Gilang still felt in disbelief, the girl sitting next to him was now his girlfriend. But one thing is certain, he is no longer single. Two years of schooling here and holding that title, it doesn't feel good, bro. Always be the material to make friends who already have a girlfriend.
True to say, love comes because of closeness. And this proved to him. Because he and Naya have recently met often while making plans to make Love and Faith more intimate, making the feeling of liking, not only hers, but also appear in Naya's heart. May Iman soon follow, realize his hope, made with Love, release his jomlo title.
