“Laras!!!!”
Laras was surprised when Amel and Manda ran in to hug him, the two girls crying loudly as if they were attending Laras' funeral. Laras patted the backs of the two calmly, he knew Manda and Amel would definitely come, but did not expect the two to come exactly one night.
Outside Dano's car was parked, but there was no sign of the owner. Dano was thrown in the middle of the road? Laras wanted to ask but Manda's hoarse voice made her choose silence.
“Ra, I'm worried you're okay. How did you not say? I won't report you where I swear!”
“I'm sorry yes. At that time I could think of nothing more than escaping to Dano”
“Iya Ra kami sorryin. But until the incident kayak gini again, we stop sahabatan” threatened Amel as much as heck. Baras smiled amusedly, Amel turned out to be able to cry too. The three hugged tightly, relieved to be able to regroup.
“Udah mbak crynya?” ius' voice made the three girls scream in unison. Ius grin wide. “You eat no mbak?”
“Still ma'am, but it's been eating in mobil” refuse Manda smooth.
“I'm not a mother. Still cute gini is called Mbak. Recognize Ma'am Ius. I'm ready for milk, wait in the room. The mama is on the sly right?” cerocos Ius passed after getting a nod from Manda.
“You used Dano's car here? Where's dano?” ask Laras when they are in the room.
“We threw it into the ravine of Ra. A deep ravine with no way out. Let him creep out. Punishment for hiding you from us” replied Amel.
The barrel of an amused laugh. “Ah the real one?”
“Now dong Ra, once again! Today Dano is very busy. There was an interesting incident” said Amel excited.
“What?”
“Dano and Angga fight!”
Laras surprised. “Kok can? Stuffed up because of what?”
“Because you are Ra. Time because of class ranking contention, not really elite”
“Just Ra, Dano is furious. Angga did not come with direct greetings nanya you where and tell Dano not to interfere. Dano sebel continues to fight. Tonjok-tonjokan!” manda's Story.
“But calm down Ra, Dano wins. Ah should know they will fight, I open Dano vs Angga” bet added Amel grin.
“How much is Dano? No wound?” tanya Laras was clearly worried.
“Lumayan bonyok anyway. But it can still be a way. Oh yes, we brought Dano to the airport, know where to go, he said to refreshing. Uh you're the same Dano is actually dating right?” chase Manda and ask him something else.
“Kok you think so?”
“Then Dano yelled at Angga 'the girl you forced marriage to was my girlfriend!' I admit Dano when I say it looks really cool”
“Alah Nda style you! You were almost crying with Dano's emotions right?”
“Ih, who won't cry? Lu the Dano guy wants to turn Angga into a car. Sinting right?”
Laras nodded in agreement, he had never seen Dano so angry. But hearing Manda's story, Laras felt Dano had two personalities. The good side that is often Barrel see and the dark side that appears today.
“So you guys are dating?” chase Manda hasn't forgotten. The barrel of shrug makes Manda pout, lucky the sound of a knock from Ius delivering milk makes the topic of conversation change.
“Mel can borrow your phone? Want to call Dano”
“This Ra wear. Phone gih, who knows not good plane.”
Baras called Dano's number, there was no answer and it looked like the guy was already on the plane.
“This Mel thanks. Not lifted, like his phone has been killed”
“Yaudah Ra selow. Dano nitip you make us take care, surely he will return. Relax, Ra. Love mah will not go where” pat Amel with a sweet smile.
...*****...
“When pregnant, Aunt Dian cravings broom fish, so right after birth her child can not be silent squirm puddles” said Manda gelenggeleng Amel. It was still eight in the morning and the girl was already swimming back and forth against the cold water.
Laras laughs while busy taking care of CV. Manda peeked for a moment. “Lu seriously want to work Ra?”
“Iya. I want to collect money first, at least can rent cheap costs and pay for daily meals. If there are more can make the need for thesis next semester. At the moment of kayak gini I am grateful to have a scholarship, so my college dependents are not many”
“Means that there is no more, you leave college?”
Laras nodded.
Manda sighed. “Ra for residence affairs, you can be the same me. My parents rarely come home Indonesia, so will not be taken. Continue to eat can also be the same me, you just work for the purposes of srisi”
“I don't want to take care of you Nda. You guys have been bothered a lot because I”
“Yeah Ra, we are friends, that time doang ngerepotin? This part is urgent, continue daar at home, you can help me cook”
“Manda's goal is to help you so that he does not have to bother cooking for Marsel if his assistant holiday” said Amel, Laras grinned.
“No, I really want to help my friend!” elak Manda's.
Amel went up to the edge of the pool, took a peek at the contents of CV Laras. “Working with Samuel will you? Working night, his salary is also okay”
“What terms?”
“Try later I asked Samuel, but it should not be complicated anyway Ra.”
Laras nodded. “Actually Dano asked me to work at her friend's cafe”
“Loh if it is gas only Ra, who knows it is easier to enter, no need to bother interview”
“I take it if in a few weeks I can't work Mel. I don't want to take too much of Dano”
“Yeah Ra, I'm just as excited, not much fun. I'm sure Dano wants to be repotinated with you!” manda.
“Tetap aja Nda, debt of gratitude same person makes life not calm”
“But if Dano can dong, let your relationship both grow” reply Amel. Laras glared at the cheers of his two friends.
And then most of the day they had fun. Starting from swimming, cooking, to hunting food in the surrounding area. Without feeling it has been four days Laras with Amel and Manda, Laras secretly began to miss Dano. When Amel and Manda went to college Laras often felt lonely, he could not call or send a message to Dano just to ask the man's news.
“Ra, your guy came in last night” tell Amel when reading a message on the phone, he lay on the mattress while Laras and Manda sit under busy playing halma.
“What time?”
“Night said. I'm the same Manda back in the afternoon, want to car nganterin Dano.”
In the afternoon after Amel and Manda came home, Laras deliberately waited for Dano, but until eleven o'clock in the evening the boy did not appear.
“Udah mbak, maybe Mas Dano comes tomorrow” said Ius yawned, his favorite TV show is finished and his eyes began to feel heavy.
“Kalo so I slept first yes Mbak” said Laras entered the room, but his eyes could not be closed. Every now and then Laras stood by the window. Until two o'clock in the morning, Laras did not close his eyes. He was sitting in a chair reading a novel, but his mind was wandering somewhere.
The sound of the car horn and the fence opened making Laras jump from the seat, he opened the curtain and smiled to see Dano's car into the yard.
The barrel opened the door, just at the same time Ius was about to knock on the room door. Ius's face seemed to be holding back the drowsiness, as if he was also quietly waiting for Dano. “Mbak Mas- uh already know ya?”
Barrel did not answer, he ran out to open the door. Dano was out of the car, wearing a white T-shirt, futsal pants, flip-flops, and a tired look. Dano looked up, her smile appearing when she saw Laras. Dano's arms stretched out making Laras run to embrace her.
“Where are you from?” mishik Laras even cried. Her tears clearly showed that Laras was longing for the heavy. Laras was in the most fragile condition and the departure of Dano seemed to be hell for Laras. Unknowingly the presence of Dano in Laras' life turned into opium.
“Where were you the same day as those two dwarves? You are nothing, right?”
Laras shook his head and looked up. “You're not papa? I heard the story you fought” asked Laras, some bruises are still imprinted on Dano's face.
“That has passed Ra, I can mastiin now Angga will not bother you anymore.” Dano stared fixedly at Laras, her hands raised wiping the tears flowing down her cheeks, her face down kissing the soft lips of Laras.
Laras closed his eyes, he vent his longing to hug Dano tightly and return the kiss.
Opium.
Dano has become a opium laras. Dano's sweet lips make Laras want to fly.
“Ra, I have to take a shower. Have you eaten? I brought candy for you” said Dano took off her kiss, she took a packet of candy from inside the car. Laras laughed happily staring at the various types of candy inside.
“Gift for a sweet girl who is willing to wait for me until midnight.”
...*****...
“Enak Ra?” Dano came out of the bathroom wearing only futsal pants, bare chest, and a towel on the shoulder.
Baras nodded sitting on the bed still enjoying the candy. Dano approached to get rid of the barrel candy on the floor and grabbed the girl's face. His lips kissed the gnarled Laras taste the sweet candy that still tastes on the tongue Laras. Slowly Dano lay down while escorting Laras up on it.
“As long as I'm gone, why are you guys doing?” tanya Dano sat with Laras staying on her lap. Dano's hand plays the strap of the sleeping suit Laras, occasionally kissing the girl's shoulder is soft.
“Kround Jakarta, climbing monas, join party, really exciting anyway.”
Dano laughing. “Udah can joke yes now?”
“The table is you. If there is no you, I don't dare to laugh, afraid to laugh even sad”
“Emang if there was me you wouldn't be sad Ra?”
“Kalo with you, I'm sad that you entertained. When Amel and Manda are together, I am sad that they follow me sadly. We are sehati”
“Means the same as me?”
Barrel shrugged shyly kissed Dano's lips and hugged the guy tightly. Dano patted Barrel's back, he moved a little open the desk drawer picking up a Laras phone that a week more was never used.
“Ra, try starting your phone” peech Dano. Laras immediately shook his head in refusal, he did not want to destroy the atmosphere between them with problems. Laras had just gotten excited about being able to meet Dano and did not want that feeling to be shattered in an instant.
Dano charging the phone using powerbank, he waited up to ten percent then returned to Laras. “Nyalain Ra”
“No to”
“Ra, trust me, all will be well aja.” Dano's face lowered slightly trying to convince Laras. Both of their eyes looked up, Laras felt doubtful but finally took the phone.
When you turn on your phone, the Barrel's heart beat fast. His body was sweating coldly in panic. Laras is afraid, what if everyone calls him back and forces him to get married? What if they track down Laras' whereabouts? And what if they find Laras tonight? Those thoughts continued to haunt Laras until Dano's soft pat on the cheek resuscitated Laras.
Laras looked up, Dano nodded in convincing Laras to continue looking at the phone screen. More than two hundred missed calls and unreadable chats, all came from Ratih, Susanto, Angga, Amel, Manda, and even Samuel. It seems Dano did keep her mouth shut, because her best friend Samuel did not know where Laras was.
“Read the latest message from your mother Ra, others cuekin aja” Dano said. Laras gulped his saliva reading a long series of chats from Ratih sent from days ago to today.
Ratih: Laras, if you read mom's message, please call me now. Mother misses the same Laras.
Laras looks doubtful, but once again Dano convinces him. With a vibrating hand Barrel pressed the green button, not until a few seconds did the phone instantly connect.
[Without?]
The eyes of Laras trembled hearing the voice of Ratih. The woman sounded tired and relieved at the same time.
“Mother...” call Laras slowly.
[Hello Baras? This you? Where's your barrel? Mom worried about you? Baras already ate? I can't sleep for days thinking Laras lives where, eats what, who? Mom's afraid Laras's sick. Sorry mother.]
And when Baras had broken down, he wept as if someone had died there. Dano patted Laras on the shoulder, he continued there accompanying Laras talking to Ratih. Ratih's cry was faintly heard.
“Mafin Laras bu has become a bratty child”
[No papa Ra, I understand, it's your right to refuse. Sorry mother also followed your nekan. Maafin mother] reply Ratih make Laras more sobbing sad.
Next like people who just met, the two chatted long. Ratih sounded very relieved to hear his daughter's voice. For Ratih, the matter of marrying the son of the Liem family was no longer his dream. Ratih just wants Laras to be healthy and live life as he wants. The departure of Laras for a week makes Ratih realize that Laras is now much better than trying to make Laras perfect according to Ratih's version.
[Mas Dano has gone home?]
The Late forehead is wrinkled confused. “Mother knows Dano?”
Train laughs amusedly. [Please send greetings to Mas Dano if you are home. Don't forget to go home, pity Sri herself]
“Iya ma'am, Baras promised to go home as soon as possible, Laras also had to go to college” nods Laras.
[You take care of your health, Ra, now do not have to think about the heavy, focused college. I support whatever you want] said Ratih.
“Still mom, sorry Baras. Baras dear same mother” reply Baras and after that the phone connection is completed. Laras's face looked up at Dano.
“Four today I went to Surabaya to find your mother. I thought it would be difficult to seduce your mother, but it turns out your mother has already thought to not mean you marry. Your mother nyesel.”
Laras was surprised, not expecting Dano to take such a step.
“You...”.
“And I told you Ra, I will protect you in my own way. I can't keep quiet looking at you like a lifeless person gini.”
The barrel was moved, the cry broke again, not because of sadness but because of the happiness in his heartbeat began to creep up.
“Udah Ra do not cry, you want to spend the same time I use cry? A happy dong” kekeh Dano. Barrel hugged the guy's body tightly.
“Still No. Thanks much. You are more magic than fairy godmothers” whispered Laras sobbing while Dano instead laughed amusedly.
...*****...
Like as easy as turning the palm of the hand, Laras life back to the way it was. The melee demanded marriage in an instant disappear. Laras had entered college as before, but he was bothered by the many abandoned college assignments due to being left for more than a week.
Upon arrival at home, for three days in a row Laras sleep less because they have to stay up all night doing college assignments. Looked at the bottom of the eyes Laras blackened and his face was not to play resist sleepiness as long as stepping towards the coffee shop campus.
Laras pushed the door of the coffee shop, after ordering him to stand beside waiting for coffee, Laras's face turned and inadvertently his eyes caught the figure of Angga sitting in a corner with his friends, they seem to be busy discussing tasks.
Deg.
Angga also stared at Laras, this was their first meeting after the disappearance of Laras. Angga's expression looked sad, he stared at Laras long until making Laras turn uncomfortable. Laras knows Angga wants to talk to him, but Laras is reluctant. Not speaking, just staring at Angga's face makes Laras feel hate.
Laras could hear the sound of a chair being pulled, he knew Angga was going to approach him. Laras cursed his coffee that never came. Laras' eyes closed and his lips were about to read the exorcist's prayer so that Angga did not approach. A slow pat on the boat made Laras' body jerk.
“Ra, you ordered coffee for me too right?”
Unknowingly Laras breathed a sigh of relief when Dano appeared.
“Why you? Asthma?” cengir Dano's. The shoulder lift barrel takes coffee orders.
“You old”
“It's only been a minute too, why Ra? Can't stand an hour if I don't squirm? I really like to be handsome, I like to miss. You are one of a thousand women who cannot escape my charm” cerocos Dano pede. The coffee barista smiled amusedly at Dano's words.
They then came out of the place, a glimpse of Laras perilik Angga, the boy followed looking at him and then peed his face with a stiff expression.
“Ra saturday road yuk”
“Where?”
“Where to, the important jalan”
“Kalo so mending you to my home aja, every Saturday there is a healthy road with mother complex”
“I really want Ra, but do you have the heart I was denounced mother-emak?”
Laughing barrel. “Entar see yes, I'm afraid I have group work at Amel”'s house
“Laras!”
Laras turned away, Manda ran towards them, the HIMA map pile in his arms. “Bantuin dong Ra, heavy, was going to sekre, I forgot to bring the key, where in class all again” said Manda handed some maps to Laras.
“Kok don't ask for help to me Nda?”
“Haram legal use lu” power replied Manda cuek. They walked along the campus corridor, Manda looked a little gloomy.
“Why you? Not yet on assignment? Or is there a debt?”
Manda shook her head and whispered “gue again upset Ra”
“Whose name?”
“There's. But I'm galau”
“Try your complaint story best friend, I am ready to listen” Dano said from the side, Manda glared at the sign of not being happy with the guy's interruption.
“There's a guy I think, I don't like him? He's not my type so I'm cuekin, but lately I miss the same he”
“Brandon right? Lu kangen Brandon, right? Hahahahaha!” dano's laughter was satisfied, his expression ready to mash Manda up.
“What the hell? Sook tau lu!” ketus Manda is annoyed. Dano laughed even more, his head nodding with a shitty gesture until it got a light blow from Manda.
“And I told you, just try first, do not support nolak, so give up the child? Lu mending talking to Brandon 'I miss you' must be retarget”
“Ra, your guy's mouth please be locked, noisy!”
“Dih, what do I do? I'm giving you a solution”
“Gue don't need your solution! Simpen your solution it meetings-rapat”
“Luck!” cibir Dano's. Manda snorted pulling Laras away.
“Sini Ra, just take this elevator, don't be the same with him. Let's follow crazy” ketus Manda annoyed.
“Be careful Ra, people who are upset like to do strange things, you will be checked loh” kekeh Dano and then passed away leaving them.
...*****...
Laras' smile broadened when he saw Dano appear on the porch of Amel's house, he ran to hug the man.
“Bidden to be friendly here, hush hush!” amel shouted from the window. Dano looked up with an ignorant look.
“Come Ra kiss, let Amel get hot”
“Ngak!” push Baras punching softly Dano's chest. They then drove away from there. Dano took Laras to a coffee shop around the monas area.
“This belongs to my friend who at that time I told you” Dano said while greeting some cafe waiters.
“Wih, where have you been? tumben's here, who's here? Adek lift?” a barista with a name tag that read Rian greeted Dano, his eyes looking at Laras in amazement.
“My wife, her name is Laras” kekeh Dano.
“Rian. Quick divorce yes, not happy” jokes Rian, Laras laughs amusedly, after ordering they choose to sit in the corner window.
“You come here often?”
“Then SMP hung out here. This coffee shop belongs to Rian, but on the same road, he just megang himself after college”
“You are very close friends dong?”
“Iya, from SD”
“Neighbors also?”
“Iya. But had time to split Junior High, I went to school outside of”
“Hmm….Where?”
“England”
“Sama Angga dong?”
Dano nodded. “Kan I once said Ra, we were once the best friend”
“Why now not?”
Dano shrugged, her hands stretched out scrambling hair. “You're like a detective”
“I'm curious.”
Dano nyengir's. “That jerk's the thing, eleven twelve of my kayaks. Because I don't like rivals, so I don't want to be with him anymore. In that friendship one must be a good boy to remind the evil”
“Aneh” reply Barrel.
A girl comes to deliver orders, she's not wearing a staff uniform. His smile broadened on Laras and Dano.
“Sorry yes rather long”
“Star one, my girl is hungry, don't see what her face shoots?”
“No need to be heard. Dano if hungry you like to chirp” said Laras. She introduced herself as Clara.
“Kalo there's nothing call me aja. But if you do, call the security guard in front of” Clara said and left.
“Beautiful ya” muttered Laras secretly stealing glances towards Clara. Although Olivia remains the prettiest girl in the eyes of Laras, Clara still attracts her attention.
“Rian” fiance candidate Dano said. Laras muttered in amazement. Rian is handsome and Clara is beautiful, from whatever side the two people do look very perfect to live together.
“Suit. Rian cakep” reply Barrel.
Dano turned around and shifted his body to close the direction of Laras's view.
“My touts?”
“You? Burik” joked Laras, Dano pretended to snort.
Throughout the afternoon they spent in that place, the feeling of Laras bursting happy. Her marriage was annulled and now sits in front of Laras a guy she likes. If in the past Laras liked Angga because their engagement made him feel obliged to love Angga, then now the feeling of Laras on Dano really comes from his heart.
The Angga that used to be the world for Laras quickly changed.
Danos.
Baras likes that guy.
“Woi Mas Radja!”
Dano and Laras turned some people into the cafe carrying musical instruments. Dano greeted them with a big smile, some were immediately busy putting up musical instruments on the small stage in front, while one pulled up a chair sitting next to Dano.
“Nichol”
“Laras”
“Daddy lift Dano huh?” ask Nichol, Laras laughed.
“Temen. How come? Rian was also the same name”
“Once your friend rarely bring a girl, I guess she has a crush on me”
“Najis!” chirping Dano from the side. Nikhol grinned, casually picking up the fried banana belonging to Laras, without awkward the guy told a long story, until then he left when his bandmates called.
“Download one song ya” Nikhol told Dano.
Laras clucked in amazement, it turned out that Clara was singing, the voice of the girl was melodious not playing. Clara's white dress makes her look like she's at a musical.
“Where is the food Ra? Any input?” tanya Rian came over.
“Not there, I like it. Delicious all, I will invite my friends here”
“Later I give member card Ra, so I can get one free coffee every five June”
“What's the way five June till you share coffee?” dano's forehead wrinkled.
“Day so I'm the same Clara” replied Rian cuek, Dano sneered.
“Ra, I want to sing, you are horrified yes. Special you close your ears, do not pantes hear the sound of wet raspy I”
“Vibrant rickety” correction Rian when Dano stood joined with Nichol.
“You guys have been close for a long time?” ask Rian.
“Not so, but lately often together” Laras replied honestly, Rian nodded his head.
“Oh, great. I'm glad Dano has moved on” said Rian, Laras just wanted to ask who moved on from, but was held back when Rian's hand pointed at Clara.
“Clara is my girl. I love her so much, I can go crazy if something happens to Clara.”
Laras looked at Rian and Clara alternately. He could feel the seriousness radiating from Rian's eyes. I don't know until when, but Laras knows, Clara is Rian's dead love.
“Gue and Dano are the same, if we love it we will give anything. Physical and heart. That is why we are in office. You may not be aware, but I can say you are lucky in Dano.”
Baras was silent, Rian's words made him even more hopeful.
Is it possible that Dano also has the same feelings as Laras?
Can Baras get the love he wants?
Can Dano belong to Laras?
Those questions continued to fill Laras' mind. Laras's eyes are now on Dano, the boy strumming a guitar singing with Clara. It is unexpected that Dano's voice sounded melodious singing the song Pupus belonging to God 19 in the strains of guitar passages.
Barrel carried away the mood, his heart could not hold back any longer each time he saw Dano. On the way home, back to the house of Laras and Dano took a short walk in the city park, where they first met.
“I was sitting there and you came, you were like a kidnapper” said Laras pointing to a long chair near them. Dano laughs amusedly.
“But seriously Ra, when you first met me you were fascinated? I am a cakep”
“Mulai” says Laras is getting used to Dano's pedea. But the guy was not wrong, he was handsome, even if remembered Baras was fascinated when he first saw himself.
“Neg. Because you want to” Laras replied lying, his feet down the wet grass heading back towards the car park.
A gust of wind blew away the hair slowly Laras, he looked up when Dano stopped and tidied her hair. Always like that, Danolah's attitude increasingly makes Laras sure his feelings are reciprocated.
“I like you” said Laras slowly. His confession made Dano's face turn startled, he took his hand off the hair of Barrel and slightly took some distance. Dano stared at Laras in disbelief, as if the words were a gripping scourge for him.
“Since when?”
The barrel shrugs. “Entah.”
Dano sighed, a sense of indecision filled her chest. Either happy or sad. Dano's frown was staring at Laras seriously, he was thinking of something making the atmosphere become silent. Nervous barrel, he felt like he had just thrown a time bomb between them.
“You don't need-”
“I like you in my life.” Dano cut out the words Laras, his view looking very serious. “But that doesn't mean I want you to be the owner of my heart. Sorry Ra, my heart is not that tolerant for other people. Honestly, I love our current relationship.”
Laras forced himself to smile, he knew his feelings were completely unrequited. Now everything is clear, all Dano's attitude to him is purely because of their agreement.
“Ngak papa No, but, I feel more relieved because I have been honest to you” said Laras, he did not lie, although his love clapped one hand but Laras did not regret having admitted his feelings. Although on the way home the two were more silent in their respective minds, and at that time also the mind of Laras could record clearly the lyrics of the poop belonging to the god-19.
And tonight became the most relieving and sad night for Laras.
I just realized my love was clapping one hand…..
