Marianas

Matchmaking

***

In this room only me and Melka are left. We deliberately rented a VIP karaoke room just to sing unwind. But it seems like the other children deliberately left us both. And somehow at first, Melka and I became so intimate. Mutual lips enjoy this beautiful night. Melka is such a brave girl and certainly very seductive. It's only right if he gets elected class president of our class. My and Melka's activities stopped when I heard a stinging Amera voice.

" Let's go home !!" take cynics.

" When have you been here ? " manywhat upset me.

" Well if you don't want to go home, I'll leave you !!" Amera turned and I chased her. Don't mind Melka trying to hold me back.

***

I saw Amera just staying quiet the whole way. His eyes looked a little puffy as if he was crying. I don't think he went to tutoring but went to see the artist. And it seems like the two of them are fighting. Amera has never accepted the name of defeat. He will not allow himself to look weak in front of others.

" Are you and that artist.you're fighting ?" manya curious.

" It's none of your business !!" the answer I predicted before.

" I've told you many times, stay away from that artist because he just wants to take advantage of you !! Something that you initially thought was playing around, is now starting to feel serious, right ? You two will never make it in a real relationship. The old man won't let it.."

" Can't you just shut up ?" Melka hissing annoyed.

" All right, I'm just warning you "I yawned, propped my head up in the chair.

" Whoever I'll relate to, I won't let my relationship end as miserable as your relationship with Michaela "Melka is like mocking me and it offends me.

" Why did you bring Michaela into this discussion ? You just ruined my mood. Sir stop !!!" my orders to the driver. I got out of the car because I was lazy to argue with Melka. Women always want to be right in everything.

***

It felt like my feet were all sore after walking quite a distance towards the house. Sorry for getting out of the car. I lay my body on the bed. It feels so comfortable in this room.

Even so sleepy but my eyes do not want to be closed yet. I opened my phone and read some messages. Full name Melka in it. Looks like the girl was hoping for more after our kiss tonight. I hope this is not a problem for me in the future. Because it is not an open secret if Melka is known as a desperate person.

***

Sunlight barged in through the cracks of the bedroom windows. I rubbed my glare-eyed. I don't know what time I fell asleep last night. It feels like time has passed. The alarm hasn't stopped ringing since. I woke up lazy. Walk to the balcony room. Enjoy a cup of coffee that has been prepared for me as usual. This morning the fog had not yet left.

From the balcony, I saw Ana cleaning the garden. Wearing a worn sweater, her short hair tied to her potluck. His face looked flat as usual. Has the fever gone away ? I suddenly described it.

I walked back to the room. I checked the drawers one by one. It was nice to find a cure for the fever that was still left. I wrapped it in a handkerchief, not forgetting I slipped a fairly large pebble in it. Back on the balcony, I shouted out to call out Ana's name. The girl looked in wonder at me. I show you the package in my hand and throw it at him. Then signal Ana to take it. Although it looks doubtful but Ana picked up the package I threw for her. He opened the package and looked in wonder at me as if asking what the medicine was for.

" Drink that medicine !!! You are very troublesome when you are sick !!" I shouted from the balcony. Almost Ana threw away the medicine if only I didn't threaten her.

" If you throw away the medicine, I'll kiss you again !!!" I shouted louder. Ana's face turned pink. It's funny when he freaks out if anyone hears me. He hurried to leave the park. And I just smiled as if I had won.

***

Bima and Arya did not stop laughing when they heard my story. And it makes me want to snap both of their heads. Intentionally they died me both with Melka in the karaoke room last night, even though they know very well how fierce Melka like a lioness. After this the girl will definitely continue to stick to me like a postage stamp. Thinking that last night's kiss was a sign of our bond. Shit, I don't stop swearing.

From a distance, I saw the students running towards the field. Maybe something is going on. Me, Bima and Arya just looked at each other not understanding.

" Hey bro, what's up ?" arya asked one of the girls whose face was red.

" There's a movie star coming to our school" replied the woman enthusiastically.

" What movie star ? Who ?" ask Arya again.

" Look at the field for autographs !! And again, don't call me bro, I'm not a girl !!!" the girl passed by while turning her lips. Me and Bima can't help but laugh.

***

There were already a lot of children gathered. I can hardly find a gap. They're all so excited. Wonder which movie stars are underworked come to our school. I saw among the crowd, Amera standing in front. His face was red. True to my guess, the movie star is the newcomer artist. My close friend Amera. With a guitar in hand singing a love song. His voice sounded fake but somehow the girls just splash. It was easy for the girls to be fooled. Not only that, the unknown artist also recited a romantic poem to Amera. Kneel by giving her flowers. I think it's true what I think, if the two are fighting, and the unknown artist is using cheap ways to get back to Amera's heart. Akh, what a innocent heart my brother.

Not satisfied with the drama. The unknown artist also distributed chocolate to all the children there. He must have bought the flowers and the chocolates with Amera's money. You slyam !! I'm pissed off.

" Why are you doing all this and making me ashamed ?" tanya Amera hid her red face as they sat together in the school garden.

" Are you ashamed of being in a relationship with me ?" Bian put on a sad face. Crocodiles.

" No, of course not like that. I mean what if you lose all your fans when they find out about our relationship. Aren't you just starting out in the industry ? It won't be good for your career " said Amera carefully, afraid that Bian would be offended by her words.

" It doesn't matter. I'd rather lose all my fans than lose the woman I love. A little bit of you have helped me to the current position ". Bian gently rubbed the back of Amera's hand.

" Never feel indebted to me. I did it with pleasure ".

" Does this mean you weren't angry with my carelessness last night ? I'm really sorry for "Kissing the back of Amera's hand with an expression that asks for pity.

" Of course not, if you promise not to repeat it again. At least don't get caught by me ".

Both smiling. Holding each other's hands enjoying the falling leaves.

" Thank you for the flowers, so beautiful. Your voice is also good "praise Amera, greeted by the laughter of Bian. The two laughed at each other.

I who was watching them from the corner of the canteen felt nauseous. I don't know, my gut feeling is really bad for that unknown artist.

" It looks like you'll have an artist's sister-in-law !!" Ledek Bima accompanied by laughter Arya.

" You think my father will let their relationship continue ?" this time I spoke more seriously.

" But it looks like Amera already really likes that artist ?"

" That's why you guys should help me find out about the artist's background. I want to know all about his life. After all Amera is my twin, I don't want her to get hurt because of something ridiculous "

Arya and Bima nodded in a sign of understanding my point.

Right, I need to move a step faster before I know about Amera and the Artist's relationship. I don't want Amera to feel what I feel. A broken relationship will not be good for a young Amera. Especially if it was his first love.

***

Ana intends to go to the library when she sees something suspicious in the parking lot. A man was seen taking something from inside my private car and Amera. Ana felt she had never seen the stranger before at this school. Ana's suspicions grow when the stranger carries Amera's personal bag.

" Do you want to steal ?" ana's question surprises Bian, the man Ana thinks is a thief.

" What do I look like a thief ?" bian replied casually.

" What's the name, then, of taking someone else's stuff without permission ? Return the Amera bag !!" ana's orders hardened the volume of her voice.

" What if I don't want to ?" Bian smiled defiantly.

" You're looking for trouble with the wrong person !!" Ana twists Bian's wrist until the guy grimaces in pain. Amera's bag was taken from Bian's hand. Unsatisfied, Ana slams Bian's body to the ground. Bian gripped holding his aching back.

After that Ana dragged Bian who was still in pain into the principal's room.

***

Amera looked hatefully at Ana. However what he had done to Bian was outrageous. Especially now bringing Bian before the headmaster. Ana looks relaxed as usual. Not a bit of guilt, even though in front of him now Bian still looks in pain.

" I think this misunderstanding is resolved, you three can leave this room "the principal invites Ana, Bian and Amera to leave the room.

A hard slap landed on Ana's cheek. Makes Bian a little surprised.

" It's a punishment for your carelessness !! Next time do not like to interfere in the affairs of others !! Do you understand ?" Amera gave Ana a little lesson. Bian couldn't do much, fearing that Amera would be even more violent. He saw Ana looking down with a red face.

" Let's go !!" Amera pulls Bian's hand.

Ana sighed softly, smiling wryly holding onto her bruised cheek

" It's so annoying !!" she said

***

I couldn't stop laughing when I heard Arya and Bima's story about Ana beating up that unknown artist. Very funny indeed. How could they meet at such an inopportune time. But my laughter disappeared when Aryo told me that he saw Amera slapping Ana beside the principal's room. Akh, Amera had never liked Ana. Whatever Ana does always looks wrong in her eyes. Amera feels competitive with Ana who always gets champion one. Even so, my father still sent Ana to the same school as us, even though we felt uncomfortable when compared to the maid. Maybe that's why Amera always told Ana to do all her schoolwork. Not because Amera was stupid but because she wanted Ana to find it difficult.

I ran after Ana, whom I saw coming out of the library. There's a hand on his left cheek.

" Have you taken the medicine I gave you this morning ?" my presence surprised Ana who was busy reading books while walking towards class.

" Yes.." His answer was short without looking at me.

" I heard you were in a bit of trouble with Amera ? Is he bothering you again ?" manya curious.

" Why ask if you already know everything ?" answered Ana arrogantly. Makes me want to stick her head out.

" Come home with me and Amera, today. Don't get me wrong, I just don't want your fever to get worse. Because if you get sick it will be very troublesome !!" I was trying to find a good reason for Ana to come home with me. I don't usually feel sorry for him. But this time, seeing her face that still looked pale and Amera's treatment of her, there was a hint of pity.

" No need to feel sorry for me !! And stop caring !!" but it was the rejection I got from my good intentions. Ana was always stubborn. Even if I am the son of his master, but for certain things, he is always against me.

The girl hastened her steps leaving me.

***

Ana breathed. He looked in front of the mirror whose cheeks were still hot.

" I will definitely reverse all these circumstances someday" he said softly. Open sheets per textbook. He had to study hard to get the scholarship he had dreamed of. The only way to improve his life right now is to be smart and get a decent job. Take his father and mother out of this family.
