"Uhuk! WO! You're bad boys!" A coughing sound in between - between the heavy voice of an adult male - rang out from the second floor pavilion.
Cheryl pulled the edge of Dimitri's shirt, her face horrified. He never thought their midnight party would end in tragedy. Nyali. The shadow that the cost mother would reprimand him immediately appeared in his mind.
Dimitri rubbed Cheryl's head. "It's okay - what. His name is Bang Satrio. He's a resident of the upper pavilion. The guy's good, even though he looks a little spooky."
"O'yeah?"
"Hm-hm."
Dimitri smiled, then grabbed Cheryl's hand and held it, feeling cold. "Hey, we're good kids. The inhabitants of this hostel are nothing evil. We're all brothers, they're the first ones who'll help you when you're in trouble. And also, will take care of you when I'm not here." Dimtri said slowly.
He deliberately invited the introverted girl to a midnight party to get along and get out of her 'hive'. All this time Cheryl did was boarding, campus, part-time work, study, sleep, and seemed to be repeating like that until she graduated from college.
Cheryl's feelings are mingling, like something was released from her heart when she remembered that Dimitri would not stay in this place for long, now Dimitri has entered the thesis stage. Ah, after all Keysia will also move to this hostel. Maybe it's time they split up.
Unknowingly, Cheryl looked sadly at Dimitri. His first friend in Salatiga after Alex, the one who always accompanied and helped him adapt. Dimitri who never gave up and kept talking to him. The prankster he loved so much. The only people who pay attention to the little things about Cheryl, such as mealtimes, lectures and helping with tasks - Cheryl tasks.
Noticing Cheryl's gaze, Dimitri gave a smile and said. "Don't look at me like that."
Cheryl wakes up, she's moaning. "I don't see you" he said to cover up the embarrassment. His face turned red, caught looking at Dimitri's handsome face.
Dimitri tertawq small. "Nothing, look at me so you never forget you." His eyebrows go up and down.
'Where may I forget you, Brother Dimi. You're one of the best in my life.'
"Don't worry, after Kak Dimi's absence, I'll definitely be friends with everyone. And also.. , find a girlfriend a lot - a lot" said Cheryl, put her prestige high - high. He was holding his chin up a little.
Dimitri was broken, in disbelief. Where maybe Cheryl had many girlfriends - many, friends almost never had time. Or maybe not? Ah, I don't know....
"Hey, doesn't Dimi believe me?" Cheryl pouted feeling humiliated hearing Dimitri's belittling laughter.
"You're the one who's gonna blow up my room, huh?"
'Bang Satrio?'
Recognizing the heavy sound coming from behind his back, Cheryl was blown away in shock. He automatically shifted behind Dimitri's back, as if seeking refuge.
A man was ruffled waist, sturdy body with a slightly dark skin and shoulder-length hair, making it look even more sinister in Cheryl's alim eyes.
'Fucking boy!'
'Trouble maker!'
'Go far - far!'
'I don't want to see you again.'
Impact - his Papa's clasping again buzzed in his ears, his heart pounding hard. Cheryl involuntarily shrinks her body, preparing to receive anger at having disturbed others' sleep with fireworks.
"Sorry, Bang. That was by accident." Tomi scratched her head, approached and took the initiative to apologize for the first time.
"If sorry is all done, what good is the police?" ask Satrio. This time he folded his hands together in front of his chest, mimicking the style of Tao Ming Tze, one of the favorite Taiwanese film figures of his era. His eyes glare.
But no one is afraid of him, except Cheryl.
The girls who were berberes even giggled to see the silly style of their oldest brother at the boarding house. One by one they greeted the man. Guys - guys approach him. Acong grabbed him and pulled him to sit on the bench. "Don't be mad, Bang. We only have two grilled corn left and a glass of tea. Yes, Bang."
Cheryl is silent - quietly observing the interaction of her boarding children with people they call Brother. "He's Satrio?" His whisper to Dimitri.
"O'iya, stop. Bang, meet this Cheryl" exclaimed Dimitri, his thumb pointing behind his back.
Cheryl jumped. "Shh... Brother Dimi. "his hissing is afraid.
Seeing Cheryl's frightened childlike behavior, Dimitri smiled, his hand holding Cheryl led him to Satrio. With a heavy heart, Cheryl followed.
Guys - guys elbow each other elbowed, ignorant flashes flashed in their eyes. Smiling girls - a prank smile at the frightened Cheryl.
"His name is Cheryl, Bang." Tomi chirped.
"Dimitri's grandfather." Heri Ledek.
"Adek nemu gede." said Lianita, his hands in the mouth funnel to the front of the mouth.
"Don't be afraid, Bang." added Reni, his nosy hand poking Satrio's burly arm.
"The sherem was born, right?" Acong laughed loudly, followed by the laughter of his friends.
"What's wrong, there's Kak Dimi." Mbak Cici's soft voice reminded Cheryl of her hands and Dimitri's interlocking hands.
Whoa!
Spontaneous Cheryl pulled her hand, her face back red. Holy hooch! They all know that Dimitri already has a fiance, and he even crossed the line. Dimitri laughed, as if he didn't care about anyone else's eyes.
"Oh, so this is what you tell me about Dimitri?" ask Satrio. He patted the empty side on the bench next to him, telling Dimitri to sit down.
Huh huh? Dimitri what's the story about him? Cheryl turned her head, Dimitri replied with a knotty smile.
Then the young man grabbed Cheryl and took her to walk to the bench where Satrio was sitting. Girls - compact girls pie, mute Dimitri and Cheryl, while guys - men whistling suhut.
The color of the sky was dark. it started to color, dawn was breaking and the party was done. It's time they prepare to return to their respective rooms, take a short break because college still has to walk even though last night did not sleep.
"Hey sweet boy, I don't eat people." Satrio again scolded Cheryl. This time, his voice sounded more patient.
Slowly Cheryl looked up, the first look she saw was Satrio's smiling face. It turned out that her face was quite sweet as she smiled, unknowingly Cheryl exhaled a sigh of relief. There was no anger over the fireworks.
"Do you really want to work?" Ask Satrio to the point. He can't stand Cheryl much longer.
OHO!
Cheryl smiled with relief. He just remembered that Dimitri once said that there was an acquaintance of him at the boarding house who was looking for an assistant.
"Yes. My name is Cheryl, sir." His words were formal while extending a hand.
"SIR?" exciting kids kos. They laughed again, boisterously. Let it be noisy, the sky is starting to light up.
Satrio snorted annoyedly. "Call me brother, I'm not that old." Satrio does not want to look old with the call of the Father, two years later he is only thirty years old. What the hell is this Cheryl.
Cheryl grimacing. "Yes, Bang... Sat."
Satrio blinked both his eyes. Dimitri with all his might held back his laughter. While the other kid's boarding?
Sepi, the sound of laughter was suddenly lost, changed with a dumbfounded face and stared in amazement at Cheryl. The reaction when the word Bang-Sat is uttered in a soft voice by an innocent girl and with a sinless face.
Eh? What's with his friends, Cheryl's forehead wrinkled. All eyes looked at him.
Dimitri took a breath so that his laughter would not explode, then said softly, "Don't forget yes, dear. What do you call him?"
"Bang Sat." Cheryl replied casually, with a smile on her lips.
"BANG-SAT!"
The choir of the occupants of the boarding house reverberated, followed by endless laughter. Cheryl the son bontot kos Garden 3 gives its own color with its innocence.
Satrio smiled wryly while scratching his non-itchy nape.
"Welcome to Garden 3, Cheryl. Let's join with the crazy things." whispered Lianita in between.
Cheryl gawks, unaware of what her calling means to Satrio.
Connect yes....
