Lutfi Gilang's

19. Disappear Disappearing

i

Disband school. All out of the class with a cry of contempt for Gilang, that he cheated during the exam. The words kept coming out of their mouths without me stopping. Although there might be a point they think so.

I exhale. Gilang has not returned since.

Perverted, I saw Kelvin stopping in front of me while looking at me. I can make sure the look on his face looks full of annoyance.

I got to thinking, is it true that Kelvin spread fake news, like the one in Gilang story?

Ah, I don't know. I don't have any proof, and I don't want su’udzon to anyone else.

So, I shut up and let him go. In front of me, Gyan asked Gilang for whereabouts. I can only answer with a head.

Gyan also said that he was very uncomfortable with all the rumors. But Gyan was also unable to dodge it, and indeed, he himself also felt cheated.

I apologize for representing Gilang, then shut up, let Gyan go.

After being quiet for so long, I was alone in class. I grabbed my phone to try to call her. I was shocked to hear the ringing of the phone from his milky drawer.

Well, his phone missed again.

I'm getting anxious, worried. I really don't want to, everyone thinks Gilang cheated during the exam. But I also have no way to prove it to them. Moreover, right now, Gilang had somehow gone where, and why.

Uh! He's really mysterious.

I opened the hp. No incoming messages, except one outgoing message he sent me yesterday.

Towards the call, there was only one, and it was from my already named number: “Lutfi my idol.”

Switch on contacts, and only save one name.

I was touched by it. There's nothing else but me on his phone. But why did he disappear? Why are moments like this important? Where the hell's he going?

Gilang, please come back and stop all this! I beg.

Later that night, at the boarding house, I told Ateg everything, including the story that Gilang told me.

Ateg followed sad and anxious made. He said, Gilang was smart, he was always a parallel to one Junior High School, although his habits were the same, sleeping continuously in class.

I'm a little surprised, so on, what's happening right now?

He replied: “Iya, it's happening exactly like now. That's because there are other guys who ngaku himself smart, continue to spread rumors that linger to his friends.”

“Lah? Go on, how?”

“Sama Gilang didiemin.”

“Aduh,” I said in shock. “Continue, ?”

“Sama guru, Gilang told to know about new more difficult.”

“Loh, how is it?”

“Ya, let it not be considered cheating.” said Ateg. “Eh, he even got a hundred.” value

“Waaah..”.

“Yes, so you're calm. Gilang will definitely mengelesain his own problem.” said Ateg trying to make me calm.

“I hope so.”

Hopefully what Ateg said is right, if Gilang can solve the problem this time.

On Saturday, in class, during the first break, I was still pensive in my seat, because until now there had been no news of Gilang. Even every teacher who entered, never again complains by saying his name. As if the name Rizky Gilang Kurniawan has been removed from our class list.

I don't know what to do. Plus, rumors about his cheating, whether done or not, have managed to spread throughout SMA.

Everywhere, I always heard them talking about Gilang. Even this morning after the apple, Bu Yuni explained that Gilang had to take a retest to prove his innocence. If during the retest later, Gilang can score smaller than before, he will be expelled from school for acting inappropriate as a student.

Really, I'm getting worried about it. I'm limp, surely if you had met me that day my face would have been very pale.

Say please come back, I miss.

In the room, Ateg had just placed a warm tea on the table after finishing bribing me. I'm getting bad, because it always makes him hard. But indeed, Ateg always did not mind to help me. I'm glad I have a friend like him.

“Still no news from Gilang?” He's nanya.

I answered with a head.

“Yes already, now you sleep first. Rest, let tomorrow go home.”

“Still Ateg.”

“Sama-sama. If you need anything, call me, or call me. I've put my number on your phone.”

“Still.” I replied limp.

“Yes already, I went to the room first.” he said as he went and turned off my room lights and closed the door very slowly.

I really want to rest, but I can't. My brain was filled with exclamations: “Where are you, Gilang? Please, don't disappear. Return to.”

I don't know how long I've been fighting in my brain. Suddenly I heard the ringing of the phone ringing, it was not from mine. It belongs to Gilang.

Just go ahead, I pick up the phone.

“Hallo,” sapaku.

“Hai, I'm Gilang, the owner of the phone you hold.”

Jerked. I sat down immediately. “Care! Where are you going?!” tanyaku.

“Lutfi, yes?”

“Iya. Where are you from K-E-M-A-R-I-N?!!” I exclaimed. I'm sure Ateg and the other hostesses would have heard it, but I don't care. Just blame Gilang.

“You are fierce....” said Gilang, it kept me quiet.

“I'm anxious.” I said.

“Do not worry. There I am.” said.

“So no, from yesterday also no!”

“Oya,” Reply Gilang. “Sorry,”

“Where are you going?”

“When?”

“Burn?!” tanyaku.

“At home.”

“Loh, why at home?” my question is kind of starting to get back on tone as usual.

“Iya, at home.”

“Keep, yesterday again, where to?”

“Can school, same as you.”

“But the abis went, where to try?” my question seemed to get him cornered, but Gilang even remained calm as usual.

“Ke WC.”

“Ngapain?” manywould be surprised.

“Ih, slovenly.” I replied rather uncomfortable.

“Emang if defecate should be where?”

“He he he.” I laugh. Right too, what he said. I have been talking wrong again.

Uh! It's always easy to make me laugh.

“Keep, how come you're not back in class?” my many.

“Not finished.”

“Kok, really long?”

“Yes, mules.”

“Why?”

“It looks like a frequent meal of sambal.”

“Wuuuuu..” I exclaimed but spoiled. Don't know why.

“Keep, when I get back to class, no one. My HP also says.”

“Built me.” I said.

“Iya, thanks.” said.

“Sama-sama.” I answered. “Eh, I only have my contacts anyway?”

“You've finished zerazia yah?”

“Hah?”

“Iya, open-fill hp have people.”

“He he he. Sorry.”

“Ga anything. I'm just your peeper who's on my hp.”

“So only in hp doang?” I'm a little bit confused.

“Yes, let only you I can call, and let only you contact me.”

Well, I'm so happy to hear that. I'm sure she's not fighting, that's why I'm so happy, because I'm the kind of girl who hates being pulled over.

“But, the proof, you can contact your hp.”

“Iya. He,” He laughs, I go along.

For so long it felt like I did not hear the voice of Gilang, let alone his laughter that sounds once, or emang ga sound but deliberately made a sound let me know that he was laughing again. Don't know, lah. Anyway, the important thing is, I like Gilang calling.

“Mist.”

“Iya.”

“You, why not school?”

“Diare.”

“Hah?”

“Iya.”

“So because of that?”

“What?”

“So that's why you didn't go to school from yesterday?”

“Iya.”

“Oh, gitu.” I said relieved.

“Iya.” said. “You nyariin?”

“E-engga.” I replied nervously.

“He,” Gilang laugh.

“But, have you gone?”

“Udah.”

“Means, tomorrow can go to school?”

“Engga.”

“Kok engga?”

“Kan tomorrow Sunday.”

“Oya, forgot.” I laugh. Very happy to hear from him. Moreover, I already know now, Gilang disappeared not because of fear of his fault, but because he was sick. Uh! Gilang really is a dream guy, anyway.

“Care, said friends, you cheated on the exam. Yes, yes?”

“Do you think?”

“Engga.” answered.

“Ya means engga.” the answer.

“Serious?”

“Iya. Let them on nggosipin me.”

“Kok is?”

“If they learn, continue to get greater value, also definitely silent.”

“Yes too, sih.” I said. “I didn't expect you to pinter.”

“I also never thought, friends are more stupid than me.”

“Call!”

“He.” He laughed, as if forcing me to laugh again and forget all the silence I felt for almost three days.

“Eh, your home, anyway, where?” I'm nanya.

“Why is it home?” Gilang.

“Tools know.”

“Why do you want to know?”

“You look at you.” I replied. I immediately thought, he would ask again according to my answer, just given a word why in front of him. Actuallyno.

“Ga please, I am healthy. Tomorrow I will go there.”

“Why can't you play? I want to play tahuuu...” I said spoiled.

There's no answer. He just shut up.

“Mist.”

“Iya.”

“I peeper to play tofu.”

“Iya.”

“Yes, tomorrow you come here, pick me up. Keep us to your house.”

“Oke.” replied in spirit and hung up.

I gasped after realizing what I just told her. Well, shame on me.
