"Sela, I want it to be the same as you"
Tera asked Sela on the sidelines of their school lunch.
"You ask me, what my dear mother, is so dumb?"
"Hehe, I'm serious about Cells."
"Oh yes, please?"
"Sel, do you think guys with girls can be friends for long?
"Wouldn't it be long in my opinion?"
"Well, is that it?"
"Remember well yes mbak Tera, Cowok same girl was created not to be friends, but to be a couple, but if the boy wants to be your friend, it means you do not mean anything to him, but to be a couple,that's why he wants a friend with you, understand ?"
"Well, whose son is Sel, who really faces any questions?"
"My mother's father's son is Raa, kalo is not smart where can be scholarship continue to enter school here."
"Hehe yes, I admit you are really great, so lucky I got your kayak friend."
"Hihi, thank you, Ra...Eh btw this is the strangest question you ever asked on this year's trip, huhah, there's a boy who wants to be your friend."
"There's."
"Who knows me too."
"Fail." Tera threw her lips towards Gilang who was enjoying his ice coffee on the other side.
"Whatshit?"Sela's voice surprised some of the students who were eating there.
"Hust, this voice of yours, since when can it be this big."
"Since this moment, from now on it seems like my voice will be big and the volume continues, because you are Raa."
"What a true cell, not again I tell the same you, if you become a storm like this."
"I'm sorry sorry, promise not to make a fuss, now can not tell."
"We're in a place where you used to be."
Finished eating, the two smart girls headed behind the deserted school building, a pretty good place to relieve fatigue after a day of study.
There was a bench that looked old there, but it had been a little maintained since Sela introduced the place to Tera, class ten ago, Sela often spent her time alone here when Tera could not accompany her.
"Well, I'm glad I haven't been here in a long time."
"The reason you are busy yourself continues anyway, sampe forgot if you have a friend who has a good place to do good kayak gini."
"Hehe's sorry I'm a cell, if tomorrow you want to come here, I'll come along."
"Every mba Tera, but now please tell me what you wanted to tell me, before entering class, I can't give up learning if you don't tell me now."
"Hehe, could you be a Cell, oh yes before know the name of the person I meant, the name Gemilang Andara, he is usually called Gilang."
"Wait, wait raa, I know his name is brilliant because he never saw nametag he was dressed in his uniform, but his nickname you can get to know?"you must have known him for a long time, eating him used to often watch him secretly, quickly say or I'm angry?"
"Geez Sel, I'm sorry again, because all this time I've never dared to tell you anything about my real life."
"Actually I live in Gilang's house."
"Whaaaatt, whaaat, whaaat, what,?Sela almost choked on the bottle she was carrying there.
"Raaa you really, yeah, things like this until you never say the same to me, really nice to you."Sela continued her frustration.
"Hehe sorry Sel, has heard first yes, do not protest continuously, hustle nih ntar input."
"OK okay, continue."
"When the new time arrived here, I immediately met Gilang's parents, continued to offer my mother to work at home, because I was with my mother I was again working, so we came, so we came,because it does need work and shelter, and it turns out they have a boy, so he's the Silang, then his mother also even entered me school here, eating it from the beginning enter here, I'm not calm at all, I'm not calm at all,I'm afraid that Gilang would suddenly tell everyone, I'm a maid in his house, you know for yourself Cell, these students are almost all rich kids, if they find out I'm just a maid,I must have gotten out of here." Tera told a long story.
"So long ago, you used to see that kid because you already knew him".
"I don't know Sel, I know that he doesn't like me living in his house, because his mother cares about me like his own son, so maybe he's angry with me, or with his mother he's,but actually he's good, he helps me a lot, but often angry too, keep because I'm tired of seeing him like it keeps, yesterday I even nawarin him to be my friend, eh he wants too, so,As long as you know Sel, don't know since when, I actually like him."
"Seriously Raa?"
"Yes I don't know, really like it, or I get too carried away because he is often good with me, please help this secret is all Sel, I believe in you, then I finally dare to tell the same story you!"
"Although it takes a long time right, Ra?"
"Hehe yes Sel, I'm not good with you, not to believe in you, but I just need time, because I never shared my story with anyone else,but since you've always been nice to me, I can finally say I'm a gini."
"Well, Raa, since I believe in you, I promise to keep your secret until we graduate."
"Thank you also Sel, already want to hear me, oh yes because I've told you, you want to stop by Gilang's house, but promise not to tell anyone, hemph?"
"Okay Raa, I promise?".
They hooked their little fingers before the class bell rang.
...*...
At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the students were out of class.
Likewise, Tera and Sela who were preparing to go to the bus stop, Sela immediately contacted her mother's father and asked permission to play at Tera's house on the grounds that she would study together.
They arrived at the bus stop a little slow, lucky the school bus was still there.
They went up and sat on the back of the room.
They couldn't talk much about their lives because some of their school students were on the bus.
And decided to tell them about their school until the stop where they went down.
"You walk here every day, Ra?"
"Yes the Cell, want to rise let alone emang, the bus can only stop until here"
"No want to ride a gojek or ojek that often go here, so do you not need to be tired of walking again?"
"I like to take the bus anyway, sometimes take the ojek if I miss it, I also like to walk, take sports all together."
"Hemh yes, and then again free sports".
They talked while laughing together, and did not feel them until in front of the fence of the house that looks solid.
Just now Tera will open the fence, Gilang also arrived with his motorcycle gedenya.
Gilang opened the glass helmet, then asked tera to open the fence.
"Please open the wide dong friend."
Tera and Sela who stood in the way of Gilang immediately got out of the way.
"How come you even step aside, you tell me to open the fence."
Tera advanced back and opened the fence so that the Gilang motor can pass.
"Thank you friend."
Tera nodded.
"Raa, does he think you're his assistant or his friend?"
"Either Cells, both can also be deh,heheh."
They entered through the side door.
Sela was confused, because she saw Gilang enter through the main door, while they went through the door beside.
"Loh Ra, he said you stay with them, but how different the entrance is."
"My room's through here Cells, they're a little bit separated from their house, but I like it even more, let there be privacy too."
"Ohh, that's it,"
They went into a room that was like home to Lantern and his mother.
*Waahh Ra, this is like a house, not just a room, you are lucky to meet good people like the Gilang family."
"Yes Sel, but I also have to know myself, because just hitchhiking here, Oh yes sit there first Sel, I go to the bathroom first, change clothes, later I know my mother, I will know my mother,at this hour, my mother usually does laundry in the kitchen."
"Oke Raa," Sela sat on a small sofa overlooking the window of Tera's room, and revealed the front view of Gilang's house.
"Yok Sel, we used to be kedapur, there was only my mother there, my mother and father Gilang like not yet back to work."
"Eh yes Raa,"
They went out and headed towards the kitchen.
Apparently there was Gilang who had brought dirty clothes for Nur's mother to wash.
"Hello friend, Oh today bring a friend also yes."what Gilang.
"Hello, disappear, but people prefer to call Gilang" he said to Sela.
"Hello sister, Sela." replied Sela briefly.
Tera felt today Gilang was quite different, being called 'friend' by Gilang made her feel a little strange.
"I'm saying hi, my friend, Sela."
"Oh yes, brother" replied Sela
Tera just nodded.
"Cell, here, that's my mother's laundry."
"Momuu, I'm sorry I was slow to help you, here I am again bringing my friend."
"No matter what, this is also not much, just wash the rest of the clothes yesterday, Ah yes your name is who son?"
"My name is Marsela aunty, call her Sela aja.hehe."
"Always, I can help my mother for a moment, you sit there first, not here, and then tingling, heheh."
"Can I help you too?"
"Eh no need to kid, new times also come already banti laundry like this, you sit down, aunt make a drink first yes son."
"Yes aunty."
Tera continued her mother's work while waiting for her mother to return.
"Raa, do you work like this every day, you're not tired, you have to go back to school again?"
"Cell can't let it be weird first, will my mother hear."Tera almost whispered for fear of making her mother sad.
"I'm sorry Raa."
"You're sitting there."
Sela according to sitting not far from where Tera was washing.
"Bude, please make her drink one more ya."
Sela and Tera were shocked because Gilang reappeared there.
"Ohh yeah, I want Gilang, just wait a minute,"
"Sela, you're bored, huh,?"suddenly Gilang asked Sela.
"Ehh no kok brother, I while looking at Tera, so not bored., heheheh."Sela smiled clumsyly called her upperclassman who turned out if noticed really almost perfect it.
"Where if I come with a perpus, on the top floor, rather than bored here, mending read the book above."
"No need, really, I'll just wait a while."
"Nothing Cell, follow me, he does not eat people really," said Tera who saw Gilang invite his friend.
"No, you said no papa."
"Raa, I'm really not papa ya."
"Yeah Sel, already hunted there, than you plotokin I mulu mulu kayak mandor."
Sela and Gilang finally went upstairs to the Gilang family library, while carrying three glasses of orange juice that had been made by Nur's mother, and Gilang also took a few packets of snacks from the cupboard in the kitchen.
"Tera, have stayed, this will stay sun dried as well, kasian your friends wait for you long."
"No, ma'am, I'm drying this out first, ma'am, this time I'm staying, really, is that okay, ma'am?".
"Yes Tera, it's done, my mother also wants to rest first, hurry up there, so they wait for you above."
"Yes ma'am."
Tera immediately dried some clothes belonging to Gilang and work clothes belonging to his parents.
Tera always asked her mother to wash in the afternoon so that she could help when she came home from school.
...*...
In the library, Gilang apparently deliberately invited Sela up there because she wanted to ask something.
He told Sela to sit down at the study table, and she sat on the bench, her favorite place in front of the window.
"Sir Gilang, Tera often read books here?"
"Very often, the books in front of you are also some of the books that I bought when he was birthday, maybe he was finished reading."
"So Mr Gilang has already bought a birthday present for Tera?" Sela spoke without looking at Gilang, as she continued to stare at the books in the room.
"Eemmh yes, why, he hasn't told you the same?".
"As for Brother Gilang know, don't tell me that, today he just said that he lived here and now even like the same brother Gilang." Oh, my God, I said what the hell just now, he kept hitting his own lips because he realized he was upset about Tera's feelings.
"You mean.?"Gilang heard clearly what Sela said, and hoped not to hear wrong.
"Aah that, I mean, now Tera likes because sister Gilang already wants to be a friend of him, so he said that Gilang's brother used to like to be angry with him, heemmh that's my brother."
"Ohh yeah, he said it was like that."
"Yes, brother, so he just told me the same story, so now I'm invited here."
"Emmh okay, but you really can be trusted right?"
"Yes dong kak, heheh." Sela tried to throw away her nervousness.
"Oh yeah I didn't come here, 'cause I have something to ask you?"
"What is it, brother?"
"Did Tera have a boyfriend at school, or a girlfriend?"
"Oh my goodness, Brother Gilang, why don't you just say the same thing to him, I'm not even me."
"And you're his friend, how do you know what it's about him at school."
"But unfortunately I don't know, heheh."
"You're not really his friend."
"Heheh, during this time we both never had a boyfriend let alone a girlfriend."
"Do you like it?"
"There's a.."
"Who?"
"Silver One."
"About."
They laughed, as Tera also went inside.
"Well, by the way, what a hell, so exciting, just wait for me to come first."
"By the way, Raa, ahah."
"I can."
"Said Brother Gilang, if you like at home is not clear."
"Mas Gilang most can, kalo menggejekin people."
The glass of Sela and Gilang was already almost half.
Because they've been there since.
The Tera glass is not nearly cold.
"Drink it first, it's already the ice stone" said Gilang to Tera who stood beside the chair where Sela sat.
"Eehhh yes."
"Raaa, you are evil again Ra, when you are given the same birthday gift, Brother Gilang also never told the story."
"Heheh, I have to apologize again I think, one-on-one Cell story, I mean the hell want a story tomorrow, but the mouth of mas Gilang turned out to be a girl too.", Arera glanced at Gilang.
"Emang you guys doang can gibahin people, you can also, depending on who the chatter friends are."
Their laughter broke the silence in the reading room that afternoon.
They were there until almost night.
