Ms. Dorky

The guy named Dano

“Alah! It's just imaging. Guys if suddenly good, must be because of guilt about something. You did not try to appeal to crocodiles like that. Here's your necklace, I buyin better”

“Eh, uh, would you like to have a necklace?” hold Manda down when Amel is about to grab the necklace from Laras' neck.

“You I love to Gegi” snorts Amel mention his dog's name. The barrel laughs amusedly while Manda pinches Amel's hand away.

“Udah Mel, we do not need to interfere too much. Let Laras make his own decision” scolds Manda. “Whatever your decision, I support Ra”

“Until your decision harms yourself. I gampar” said Amel tends to cons then pull Laras closer and hold the girl's hand. “Sini Ra, don't get away from me. Until the day you break up with Angga, I'll be watching you twenty-four hours.”

The three girls then walked through the campus park to the law building to attend pancasila public courses.

“Woi Mel! Where the hell are you? I thought I died.”

Amel laughed and waved to his friends. It is not new to see Amel reprimanded by students from various faculties. This is what Manda and Laras cannot understand. Their college schedule is almost the same, they always go anywhere together, but Amel seems to have special minutes to build friendships with others.

“Who else is Mel? Know where?” manda asked as usual when Amel greeted a man who ran hastily away from the law building.

“Radit, two semesters” off

“Buset long time. Birthday leave what?”

Amel giggles. “Hardly lu. Si Radit just came out rehab, biasalah former wearer, so you see the aura of his face like the symbol of BNN.”

Laras and Manda laughed. Amel pushed the classroom door and gawked at the entire class, already full, when there was still twenty minutes left before class started.

“Udah has no place anymore. Yaudahlah, the very back of aja” said Manda pointed to four seats at the very back.

“Gini nih if the public lecture join junior, the class has not started full. Next week I can sit on my floor. Ru, is anyone sitting here?” korek Amel on Heru, the leader of the srikandi.

“Most corner for my friend. There was a sign” pointed Heru on a small pin that he put on the end seat. Amel shook, they then sat in the back seat, Laras right behind Heru.

“Quiet by Ra. If I can't see, later I pinjemin catetan I, but the payment used ngedate at Cikini” station goda Heru prank when I saw Laras trying hard to find the right position to look at the board.

“Dih. Barrels don't need your catetan, there's catetan I”

“Emang you nyatet Mel?”

“Neg. I tipped off Manda's note. Sono Lu forward, not back and forth. Tired laras see lu”'s face

“Sensely Mel. What's up, man? Forgot to send money? Here I pay for your life a month”

“Makasih Ru, I mending to pay Manda or Laras. Illegal use money gamblers kayak lu” reject Amel cruel. Heru nudged Amel's eel made the girl nag.

“Be careful Mel, the dryness of the fight can be a soul mate” said Manda giggled.

“Dih shit. Mending I married Mang Imang, a banana fry in front of the house. Every day full of bananas, well if the same is what can be expected? Lecture is not intent, but look began pinjem-pinjem” cynical Amel when Heru began to wander in search of pen and paper binder.

“Mel!”

Amel flinched almost falling backwards when a guy pulled the hood of his jacket. “Dog lu No. What if I fall?”

The man did not reply, he pulled up a chair sitting beside Laras. Laras's face turned away, their gazes met and Laras' expression instantly turned nervous as soon as he saw who the guy was.

Danos.

Strange guy who Laras met the other day in the city park.

“No, you joined soccer gambling last night?” asked Amel from the side.

Dano shakes. “Ngak Mel, I just bet who dyesel join judi bola”

“Lu win?”

“Iya”

“Terus who nyesel join gambling?”

“Rafael, today want to join the afternoon worship at the church. He said he wanted to ask for God's mercy so not be arrested as nyokapnya”

“How much is he?”

“Not many anyway, just money SPP one semester” Dano replied kalem.

“Twenty million dong!” Amel gawking.

“Ru borrow dong” pen Dano match when Heru back to seat.

“Neither have, nor do caves minjem have Sarah”

“Ngak really capital both of you, have money tuh buy pen. College intention is not?” said Amel.

“Sorry yes No. My girlfriend if early in the morning rada sensian. Understandably finished being a greyhounds demon yesterday, presumably still nempel”

“Badness!”

Dano laughs amusedly seeing Amel rampaging while Manda as usual mediates, although she also giggles amusedly.

“Ra, pinjem pen” ask Dano no-nonsense hand thrusting.

Laras bengong for a moment and then thrust his pencil box. After that throughout the lesson Laras felt restless. The focus is divided between listening to Pak Pangaribuan or Dano. Without the need to turn away, Laras could feel Dano cool to pay attention to the movements of Laras.

“Nyatet what Ra? Does it look like his slate?” whispered Dano made Laras a little surprised.

“Neg. But I wrote what I heard”

“Ajin yes. Entar pinjem dong Ra, make me use learn”

“Emang you are not nyatet?”

“No, there will be your record.”

Who would want to help who? inner Laras grimacing.

“Ra, you never did-”

“I never fall in the midnight mapolda tile” cut Baras. Unexpectedly Dano giggled amusedly, Laras threw a confused look, the guy behaved as if they had known him for a long time.

“While I want something else”

“What?”

“Udah ever go to a simple food stall at the end of an alley near the campus? There's the fried chicken yummy”

“Never”

“When to eat with me yuk there. Both doang, let's get familiar”

“Still the offer, but I don't like roasted chicken.”

Dano smiled a thin smile. “Maybe now not, but tomorrow-tomorrow can like.”

Barrel's eyes narrowed slightly throwing a cynical look. Suddenly he felt sick of having to serve Dano. The effects of heartbreak because Angga makes Laras do not want to talk to any guy, except the actual lecturer is quite strange if used as a chatting friend.

“Why are your eyes? Slippage. Here I blow, fearing the incoming gravel” asked Dano kalem. Laras glared annoyed, he was about to reply to Dano's words but Pak Pangaribuan's voice sounded from the front.

“That's mbak and mas behind why chat alone?”

Barrel turned. All eyes were now on him and Dano, making Laras nervous. Baras gulped, he wanted to speak but Dano's voice was already heard.

“This is Mr. Laras, the time suddenly ngajak I married. I still want to go to college.”

Barrels bengong while the classmate laughed loudly. The hue of Laras face turned red, he could not say anything as a loud whistling sound filled the classroom to tempt him. Laras's face turned to Manda and Amel for help, but the two girls looked at him in surprise.

...----------------...

Laras sipped an orange ice, he felt thirsty because since then had to tell a long story to Amel and Manda about Dano, a brash guy who managed to make Laras into a laughing stock one class.

“I'm not really the same Dano. I know he's joking, but I didn't expect to be that comedian.” Amel giggling amused still remember the events in the classroom earlier, certainly starting next week Dano and Laras will get a little extra attention from Pak Pangaribuan.

“It's funny to you, because you're not the victim. I'm ashamed to know!” sewot barrel Dengus.

“Yeah Ra, don't get mad dong. That's Dano doang's joke. Baras funny if angry, his face like snail” amel, lips Laras more and more manyun.

“Udah dong Mel, that's if his lips are more advanced 'already could be a birthday hat” added Manda giggled amused.

Laras again sipped orange ice, pretending not to hear the temptation of his two friends, he slashed his pink jeans and propped up his chin waiting for the laughter of Amel and Manda to subside.

“You know Dano where?” ask Laras.

“She's son srikandi” replied Amel briefly.

Srikandi is the name of the campus band organization. There are a lot of bad rumors about Srikandi. He said there were children who were caught using drugs until the campus had to intervene to close the case so as not to defame the campus. There are also those who say that every internal event of Srikandi children must bring magic, but strangely there is never an official reprimand from the campus leadership for the organization. Perhaps the many achievements and trophies brought home srikandi made the campus leadership a little blindfolded. Because even though the average child srikandi lazy college, but for the size of following their champion race, even many senior srikandi already wara-wiri on TV.

The appearance of children who are average and seem difficult to manage, making many people increasingly convinced that the gossip they hear is true. But it seems like Srikandi's son did not bother, as evidenced by the big writing near the entrance of the srikandi sect that reads sarcasm to be read by passers-by; do not enter this sect, there is no real band!!!

“Pantes...” mumbles Barrel.

“Pantes what Ra? Bastard?” kekeh Amel ticklish. “Dulu Dano wanted to be made a candidate for chairman of Srikandi, just because he did not have a vision of the mission so yes with a very forced position Dano just as a donatur”

“Kok Donator?”

“Yes the brain can not Nda, how do you want again?”

Manda laughed amusedly.

“Partially yes, children of king srikans in his position must be donors. You notice, every time their event never sell risol”

“Emang does not feel the loss?”

“Tau deh, all this time no one protested.” Amel shrugged and turned with a sour expression when he saw the name that appeared from Laras' phone. “Lu both have not broken up?”

“Same break Mas Angga is not that easy Mel. The business should be the same as a big family.

“Alah! Fuck the big family! Do you want to sacrifice your youth with the same marriage as the cheating man? After cheating, cheating continues. Like a dog that likes bones then forever he will be a dog” nyinyir Amel ngaco.

“I first ya” say Laras grin wide. The barrel to the economic building which is quite far from the canteen of the law building, can be seen Angga waving with a big smile.

“Luck is you. If I have not finished I was scolded by the lecturer, I borrow yes, tomorrow I will return to” said Angga took the audit package book owned by Laras. “You've eaten?”

“Udah.”

Angga nodded no longer asking, the question was just a matter of pleasantries. Angga's phone vibrated, there was a call coming in, the guy then took a little distance from Laras. “Yes, a little more I went there. I'm the same Laras.”

“Who?” ask Laras when Angga finishes calling.

“Friends of group, want to do the job.”

Friends or infidelity? batin Laras quipped.

“I go first yes Ra.” Angga waved his hand then stepped away, he looked rushed like he was being chased by something. Laras stared at Angga until he disappeared from behind the front parking lot of the economy building.

“That's your girlfriend?”

Barrel turned. Dano stood to the side, her hands playing drumsticks and staring at Laras. “Ngapain you here?” tanya Laras ketus because Dano always appears in crucial moments.

“With pink jeans, yellow t-shirts, you attract attention from a distance. Your shoes are also on fire. After all this is a campus corridor, so everyone is free to go through here” Dano replied calmly. Laras grunts, wanting to kick Dano, but Laras chooses to leave, and Dano unexpectedly chases after him.

“Ra, why go without saying goodbye anyway? Ntar scolded parents for not being polite”

“My parents in Surabaya, they will not anger me because they do not pay the same price you” reply Laras annoyed step faster.

“Kalo so ntar scolded for not using a farewell hug. Ra's...Ra...Laras.” Dano continued to pursue Laras steps, he helped accelerate his pace and block the path of Laras. “Ra, angry yes because of the joke this morning?” ask Dano seriously.

Laras looked up uncomfortably, Dano's successful behavior made them the center of attention of several people who were in the corridor. “I'm not angry”

“But your face is like someone else angry”

“I'm not angry!”

“Lah but you're strict?”

Laras sighed and said slowly. “I'm not angry with you Valdano. Satisfied?”

“Hmm... means you are angry because Angga cheated” shot Dano intentionally.

The eyes of the Barrel were rounded in surprise. “You know-”

“Where to?”

Laras nodded making Dano smile, he managed to get Laras' attention. 

“It's not important I know where. But I came to you because I want to give you an idea.”

Simplen your idea, I don't want to hear!  inner Laras shouted

Dano lowered her head a little and whispered softly. “What if you cheated on me? Let break”

Baras gawking, Dano was not just strange. More than that, Dano's crazy.

...----------------...

From that day on, Laras' life was no longer calm. His body seemed to have a strong magnetic field that was able to attract an iron called Dano to get closer. Somehow, but Laras always met Dano in every public course he took. It was as if Dano was a newly blooming sunflower when there was light. 

Not only that, Dano was even more daring to tease Laras, at every opportunity he always approached the girl with his hilarious mannerisms. Laras himself can not do anything, other than Amel befriended Dano, Manda himself also did not seem to object to the presence of the man.

“Ra, also lu” fans point to Manda when they see Dano appear from a distance with Heru. The barrel snorted at the risol, his face instantly bent.

“Laras..my love, my heart, the flowers of my dreams. What are you?” ask Dano without permission to sit next to Laras.

“Again nyemen” replied Laras jutek.

“Kuak bang nyemen take gigi” reply Dano laugh.

Laras glared in annoyance while his friends laughed amusedly. Unabashedly Dano gave a kiss away making Laras creeps and after that as if nothing happened Dano even discussed the event of makrab srikandi to be held in August, later, it was as if Laras' irritated expression had already become commonplace to him.

“Emang whose list srikandi many?” ask Manda because since yesterday the main corridor of the economic building has been used to open admission to campus organizations.

“Iya. I had to make an interview schedule” nod Heru without permission to pluck Amel's risol.

“Sok really, enter the organization use all interviews, like again job list. Mending if paid pake money, this is just paid amer” said Amel as usual ninyinyir.

Heru. “It was precisely Mel, because a bottle of amer was quite draining our kayak student pockets, so I interviewed to take potential people. My ambition is to change people's views on srikandi”

“Remove posts next to sekre, just you said so”

“Kalo it can't Mel. It is the motto of Srikandi. Nda, wanna join? Ntar you I made mascot Srikandi”

“No thanks, I am tired in HIMA” refused Manda shook her head.

“Tanya this one also dong” point Dano on Barrel.

“Kalo it's your business No” kekeh Heru.

Dano propped up her chin and stared fixedly at Laras. “Srikandi tube yuk, specifically you do not need interview”

“No mau” reject Baras raw-raw.

“Loh why? Srikandi is good, I teach you to play the drums. While the lap is also not papa” goda Dano, Laras eyes twisted but did not answer.

“Crazy lo No” laughter Amel taut.

“Serious look I'm Mel. When Laras comes in, I get excited for drumming. Go in, Ra? I will buy ale-ale”

“Mending you silence, eat risol” said Laras directly thrusting risol into Dano's mouth.

“Have been a bribe. Fast real development” Goda Heru laugh.

“Lu all just see us bribes, more than that can not be. Isn't it Ra? If you kiss, in a quiet place Ra. Let them not see” said Dano pretending to whisper. The barrel immediately pinched Dano's arm tight until the man screamed in pain.

“I first yes, want class”

“Kan is still twenty minutes away Ra, relax aja” said Amel.

“Ngak papa's. I want to tag place” said Laras hurriedly lift foot from it.

“Bareng I Ra. I want to take a proposal at sekre.” Manda stood following Laras.

“Barah lu No, until run away so his son” said Amel giggled amused.

Dano grinned and unexpectedly he shouted loudly. “Be careful Daras darling!!! Don't get scuffed on the street!! Good bye my darling!!”

Laras shuddered in horror. “Crazy basics!”

...----------------...

I don't know where it came from, but rumors of Dano and Laras' closeness have spread everywhere. So tight, the rumor finally reached the ears of Angga, he who initially did not care Laras close to anyone began to feel disturbed by the emergence of the name Dano.

On Sunday nights in boring dates that Angga often do with Laras at the bookstore, Angga took the time to ask the truth of the gossip he heard.

“That's not real. It just so happened that Dano was with Amel, so I knew him. We do not have a relationship as reported by the people” geleng Laras firmly.

Am I you?  an cheat-man? batin Laras grunting.

“Oh yaudah if you just like that. I believe in you” Angga replied straightforwardly not asking anymore. “Ra, sometime wear a kayak skirt like dong. It seems suitable for you” said Angga changed the subject of the conversation to appoint a girl near the escalator.

“Ngak want ah, not comfortable if you go with minimal clothes so” reject Laras.

Laras likes the way the girl dresses, she looks cute with a short skirt and oversized jacket, but Laras is sure she will look ugly in that style, after all, leaving the house with minimal clothing material feels uncomfortable. Laras prefers to wear clothes and pants that cover his body, although sometimes the color of his clothes likes to make eye pain.

The look on Angga's face turned disappointed, he followed Laras but quietly paid a little attention to the girl's movements. In the past for Angga Laras was very sweet, he had dimples and an attractive smile.

But lately Laras looks very boring. Angga hates having to see Laras so pede wearing something that does not connect. As of now, Laras wears dark green jeans, orange stripes, and flip-flops that Angga says look very tacky. Angga hoped Laras realized how unattractive he was when he looked like that. Honestly Angga wants at least a little Laras self-care, like Sera for example.

Yes Sera.

The girl who recently so attracted the attention of Angga.

Sera and Laras are like heaven and earth.

Sera knows which lipstick is right for the clothes she wears, beautiful shoes that are suitable for the event she will attend, stormy hair, make up, and most importantly sexy Sera.

And Laras?

Let alone sexy, make up he can't. Angga could count with his fingers how many times Laras wore lipstick as they left. Only at special events did the girl look neat, the rest of the Baras like it didn't matter. And over time the indifference of Laras makes Angga careless.

Angga's phone rang, there was an incoming call from Sera making her smile involuntarily expand. Angga hurriedly moved away and spoke to Sera, not realizing Laras was secretly watching himself from behind the bookshelf. About ten minutes Angga came back. “Ra, I'm anterin home. I have to find friends”

“You what?”

“Compiling proposal of organization event. Monday to sirahin to chairman”

“Whose menu?”

Angga's forehead immediately wrinkled, Laras never once knew this on his business. “Emang if I tell you, you know who it is?”

Laras shook his head and forced himself to smile sweetly. “You go first. I'm still a long time, there are still many books I want to see”

“Don't that Ra, when I left you here?”

“Ngak papa's. I still want to go around again, you just go. More urgent proposal, right?”

“Totally? Sure you're not angry?”

“Iya. No papa” nods Laras. Angga smiled and then walked away.

Laras' body turned to pick up the book on the front shelf. Slowly the tears of Laras dripped, he cried. The heart of Barrel is painful. He never felt this bad in his life. Baras' self-esteem is completely smeared, his fiance is having an affair and he can't do anything at all.

Drrt.

The sound of Laras' cell phone rang out, he wiped his tears and breathed in trying to keep sounding calm.

[Where are you?] ask Amel without further ado.

“Book store. Why Mel?”

[Share location Ra. I want to take you with Manda to the club. We're party tonight]

“Aduh Mel's. I can't”

[Why can't you? Just be calm. I brought a special box to put your precious books]

“Not that Mel. The thing is, I wear flip-flops”

[Calm Ra, club for jogs, not a place for footwear. Share location yes, do not take long] said Amel immediately turned off the phone, did not give Laras a chance to refuse.
