In Indonesia
Ryan is getting closer to Dea. Celine was getting more and more determined to approach him but Ryan still did not budge on his stance. He had no interest in Celine.
In order to get close to Dea, Ryan is willing to go back to school on public transport. Dea can't know who he really is. Sometimes he also often piggybacked Awang who went to school on a motorcycle.
When Ryan reached the end of the street near his home, which is an elite housing complex, he reasoned that his parents worked as a domestic assistant in one of the luxury homes there.
Awang believes in Ryan because they are good friends since the beginning of entering High School. Ryan did not show a cocky attitude or too late in style like most rich people. Ryan does wear some branded items such as shoes, belts and branded watches but when asked he said if it was a gift from his mother's employer.
Awang lives in a residential complex not far from where Ryan lives. His father was a lecturer and his mother a nurse who worked in a private hospital. Ryan went to his house several times and met his family. They don't suspect Ryan is the son of a conglomerate.
Dea's life is not as lucky as Ryan and Awang. He lives in a small contract with his 2 siblings and their parents. His father sold meatballs and chicken noodles in a small shop that stood in front of his contract. Again, the place of sale is also still rented.
After school Dea never rested or relaxed. She immediately changed clothes and helped her father sell because her mother was busy babysitting her two twin sisters, Fero and Feri. They are only 4 years old so still need extra supervision from their mother.
The age difference with his sister made him love them. Dea also often helps care for them when their mother is in trouble. Even though they live in shortcomings, they look happy.
"Hi, De!" greet Ryan when the class hour is over and cross each other on the classroom terrace.
"Hi, Ryan, Crew!" answer Dea.
"You why De? Your face looks red and your lips pale?" ask Awang.
"Yes..it's right! You sick De?" Ryan walked forward and touched Dea's forehead with the back of his hand. Heat.
"Where?" ask Awang curious.
"Yes.... The wang! You boncengin Dea, yes, we'll take you home" Ryan said.
"Trus... What is my bike?" Dea left school on a paddle bike.
If he comes home in between Awang then tomorrow he has to walk to school.
"Let me pedal your bike behind Awang. I'll also take you home" Ryan said.
Ryan took off his jacket and put it on Dea's body. The jacket was oversized in Dea's body due to their much different posture.
Dea gets the attention of Ryan. The most handsome and popular guy at his school treats him so special. Maybe the girls who idolize Ryan will faint standing if they find out about this. Luckily, all the students broke up and went home.
"Thank you! Sorry to bother you!" there is a bad taste in Dea's speech.
"Hssst! You can't feel bad. In friendship we must help and take care of each other." Awang joined in talking.
"Already, yukk!" Ryan started paddling Dea's bike out of the parking lot.
After Dea rode properly, Awang launched his motorbike at a slow speed. Ryan sat on a bicycle and waited in front of the gate because he did not know where the road to Dea's house was headed. After Awang crossed the gate, Ryan followed behind.
The house is not too far from school. It only takes about 5 minutes of leisurely cycling to get there. Dea also often walks to school if his bike is experiencing obstacles.
Dea gave Awang a warning to stop in front of the meatball stall in front of him. Awang thought that Dea was hungry and wanted to eat meatballs at the stall, but he refrained from asking. His curiosity was answered when the meatballs salesmen in the stall were thronged out with his panicked face when he saw Dea coming home piggybacked by his friend.
"Dea! Are you still dizzy, son? I told you not to go to school. Yeah, gini, here! You're troubling your friend, aren't you?" namel Mr. Bimo, the father of Dea.
"Sorry, Sir! Dea thought Dea's dizziness would go away if she went to school."
Awang, Dea, and Mr. Bimo turned to look back at Ryan who was riding a bike owned by Dea. His handsome face was wet with sweat because the road leading to the house of Dea was quite uphill School uniform he was wearing was a little wet because the weather that day was also quite hot.
"It's Awang, sir! And this is Ryan! They're Dea's friends."
Awang and Ryan took turns to greet Mr. Bimo to introduce themselves.
"Thank you very much, son! Let's go in first let me make meatballs or chicken noodles," said Mr. Bimo friendly.
This is the first time Dea has introduced her friends to her family since their move to Borneo. As far as Mr. Bimo is concerned, Dea is a tough kid to get along with. Maybe because the state of the economy of his family that all mediocre makes him inferior. Dea was afraid that no one would want to be her friend after knowing her circumstances. Even now his heart was overwhelmed with anxiety. Dea is afraid that Ryan and Awang won't be friends with her again after this.
"Sorry, Uncle! Next time we don't ask our parents for permission. They'd be worried if we didn't get home on time" Ryan said.
"The good boy! Yes, you guys are careful on the road but uncle will wait for your promise to stop by and chat with uncle here." Bimo patted Ryan on the shoulder.
"Surely, Uncle!" say Ryan while reaching for the back of Bimo's hand and kissed him.
The crew followed what Ryan did before they got on the bike.
"The chips are healed, yes, De! See you at school!" pamit Awang to Dea.
"Be careful, you guys, Ryan!" dea shouted while waving her hand.
Mr. Bimo was able to catch the change in his daughter's attitude. As a parent, he was very familiar with the nature of his daughter who always felt inferior and rarely got along.
"Come in, baby! Don't be sad! I'm sure they're good friends. Don't think too much about getting well soon!" entertain mr. Bimo.
"Yes, Sir! I'll go inside first!" pamit Dea's.
"Rest! Make hot tea for you!"
"Good, Sir!"
Dea walked to the rented behind the stall while guiding her wooden bicycle.
•••
On the way, Ryan and Awang both fell silent. They thought about Dea and her family. It seems like the life they lead is very difficult.
Ryan's little heart felt sorry to see their lives. The rows of houses that lined the perimeter of Dea's residence were no larger than his room. What's the power at the moment Ryan is nobody.
Tera and Vishnu never indulged Ryan with material. The pocket money for him they limit. Ryan has to help Vishnu finish his new office job he gets the honor from his father.
Several times Ryan was brought to the meeting room by Vishnu to get to know the work he had to do later.
"Thanks, yes, Wang!" Ryan got off Awang's bike at their usual place of separation.
"Together, Bro!" Awang continued his journey back to his home.
Ryan walked towards his mansion. Old Shuhan was always waiting for him on the porch. That's why Ryan never came home late.
Once Ryan went to a futsal match between schools and came home late. Until 8 pm Shuhan is still waiting for him on the terrace to make his physical condition decline and must be treated in the hospital. After that incident, Ryan always prioritized his great-grandfather above everything else.
"Good afternoon, great-grandfather!" Ryan crouched in front of Shuhan's wheelchair.
"Yan Yan! Grandpa's beloved!" Shuhan rubbed Ryan's head fondly.
"We're in, yeah, Cake!" persuade Ryan.
"Come, Honey! How was your school today?" ask Shuhan.
"Fun, Cake! Ryan was very happy today because Ryan's rep got the perfect score" Ryan explained.
"You are indeed similar to your papa, Yan Yan!" Shuhan chuckles.
"Grandfather is great too!" exclaim Ryan.
"So just great-grandparents, huh?" goda Sherly's.
"Oma! Opa!" yelled Ryan who just realized if the oma opanya came home from abroad.
Ryan hugs Sherly and Renaldy in turn.
"Where are you, Oma?" ask Ryan.
"You are, yes, Yan! You bad boy!" sherly said, pinched Ryan's cheek.
"Uhh! Pain, Oma!" ryan pretended to be sick.
"Sherley! Don't play rough with papa's great-grandpa!" shout Shuhan.
"I'm just nervous about Yan Yan, Pa!" Sherly kisses her grandson's cheeks fat.
"Still asem, Oma! Ryan go get changed, Oma!" Ryan says goodbye to Sherly, Shuhan and Renaldy.
"By Oma and Opa have Oma put in your room, baby!" sherly exclaimed half-screaming as Ryan had already walked briskly towards the elevator leading to the 2nd floor where her room was.
"Thanks a lot, Oma, Opa!" ryan replied while giving a distant kiss to Sherly.
"Hm.... Young people today!" Sherly nodded at Ryan's behavior.
In his room, Ryan put down his bag and school supplies and went to the bathroom. Ryan used to go to the bathroom without a change of clothes. The waiter at his house always provides a few pieces of change clothes for him in the bathroom.
Often Tera nagged at Ryan whom they often called Yan Yan when they were at home. Ryan is meticulous when it comes to work and school affairs, but very lazy to take care of his style and appearance. Tera always has the hassle to seduce and choose clothes that fit Ryan when they are going to a party.
