Manda's words came to pass, after the events of the day there was no longer any chance for Dano to talk to Laras. Wherever Laras went there was always Manda, even though Manda did not have a lecture schedule he would remain next to Laras. As if 24/7 was the time for Manda to be with Laras.
“Udah No, Manda in case of spooky rapids. Don't be forced, you were told by Amel's advice one day when Dano complained about the existence of Manda around Laras.
“Gue is also like you No. So don't even try asking for my help!” grunts Amel cruel. Actually he pityed to see the look of Dano, but the guy was indeed worthy of a lesson, even if Dano had to be thrown into the hell fire Amel would happily be the first to throw Dano.
“What's the matter anyway? How do you suddenly feel like a virus in front of Manda's eyes? I was horrified to see the gaze of Manda to you, ketus make sliced-” asked Heru lebay.
Dano took a long breath.
“Intinya, this friend of yours if standing next to tai, taian dia” said Amel took his book and stepped away leaving Dano and Heru.
...*****...
It has been almost a month since Dano's secret incident came to light and Laras has begun to calm down somewhat. He is still angry at Dano but not as bad as before when Laras suddenly hates Dano, making him not want to meet the guy. In this moment Baras only knows that the highest peak of a person's anger is when he feels hate but not angry, but turns away the face does not want to see the person.
And Laras felt that.
But only until yesterday. Lately, Dano's desperate face has made Laras smile amusedly. Dano of course could not do much because of Manda, the girl would obviously not hesitate to make a fuss when Dano dared to approach them.
“This book is on the third floor” let the library attendant know.
“Still bu” reply Adjustable politely then go up to the third floor. Silent. Because there was only himself and the third floor guard sitting behind the computer desk. Barrels down the shelf at the very end, the book he was looking for was on the top shelf. With the help of a wheeled ladder Laras took the book he wanted.
“Ra.”
Laras' body jolted in surprise, the book in his hand fell down as someone flipped his body without excuse and smothered Laras' mouth to keep from shouting.
“This is me.”
The rounded eyes were more surprised. Dano took off the hoodie and took her hand off the mouth of Laras.
“Ngapain you here?”
“You see you?”
“You followed me?”
Dano nodded making Laras gawk.
“Your best friend is troublesome, so I have to hide like gini” grumbled Dano annoyed. Both of his hands holding the stairs locked the movement of Laras.
“Soide you I want to get off!”
“No. Later you run away, I want to talk to you”
“What else do you say? Want to hurt me again? Mending you just, I'm tired” ketus Laras. Dano was silent but did not leave, his eyes slightly wrong looking at Laras, probably because it was the first time to face a girl's anger.
“Dengerin my explanation first Ra” please Dano.
“No!”
Dano sighed. He should have kidnapped Laras and tied the girl to a chair so he could keep quiet to hear Dano's explanation. The stubborn barrel really drains Dano's energy. The two were silent for quite a while until then and looked up at Laras seriously.
“Love me once chance Ra. Let me explain everything and after that if you want to be angry or non-jok I can also” Dano said begging. His forehead frowned, he was annoyed but his heart felt unable to see Dano's expression.
“I..”
“You'll let me be the representative of Laras!”
Laras and Dano turned away, out of nowhere, Manda appeared with Amel.
Dano flinched off her handle from the stairs and fell down. Manda punched her face tight making Amel and Laras surprised too. Manda crouched down in front of Dano, her expression looking extremely angry.
“Sampe you ask Laras to say again, I burned your head! Come on I told you to go to the bus with.”
Manda nagging pulls Laras away. Dano exasperatedly stood up to pull Manda but was arrested by Amel.
“Kalem No kalem hotel. That chick. Your manhood is lost if you are nonjok gi” resistant Amel amel ticklish amused.
“Temen you eat what the hell? Very strong blow” said Dano felt a pain radiating on his cheek. Amel laughs amusedly.
“Gue iket temen lu long time so as not to interfere!”
“Lu is desperate huh?” amel goda amel amused.
“Gue sebel because from yesterday Laras did not want to hear my explanation. Because of temen lu nongol mulu everywhere” dumel Dano exasperated half-dead. “Gue back to practice. Until tomorrow you're still around Laras. I've got Laras!”
Amel was in a hurry, for the moment he could do nothing. At first it may have been a fight between Laras and Dano, but the more here Dano's war against Manda.
“Should Baras more than one, let's not be a dispute like gini” giggles Amel amel amel ticklish.
...*****...
“Sorry is late in remidi” said Amel while sitting in the cafeteria, his face looks tired after running around in the campus corridor.
“What comedy? The exam hasn't started” yet
“Indo Language. My lecturer, the remedy was just a test. He said he knew his students were bego-bego.”
Laras and Manda laughed amusedly sipping iced tea. The Laras class is next at four in the afternoon and as usual Manda insists on following her, even though lately there has been no visible attempt by Dano to approach Laras. Looks like that guy really got a punch after getting Manda's fist the other day.
“Nda enemies you tuh” point Amel. Manda immediately put on a look of alert as soon as he saw Dano enter the canteen area with Heru and Brandon.
“Selow Nda, Laras aja relaxed gitu” said Amel held back a laugh, Manda looks like a real fighter.
“Woi Mel!” Heru first greeted Amel and after that they sat some distance away.
“Dano has surrendered. He doesn't seem to care. Heartache equal boxing lu”
“Biarin! let's mampus!” ketus Manda doesn't care.
Laras as a source of dispute Manda and Dano just silently sipping orange ice. He had glanced at Dano and the guy did not look at him at all, right said Amel, Dano looks to have given up on talking to Laras.
It seems that Laras has started to breathe a sigh of relief because he no longer needs to go anywhere with Manda. Although fun, but still Laras sometimes need time alone, and also Laras may be able to go home. Poor Sri, it has been almost a month Laras left alone.
Laras' phone vibrated with a message coming in from Ratih.
“Saturday tomorrow I go to Surabaya' tell Laras.
“Ngapain? Not yet semester” holiday
“Mau takes care of my engagement with Angga.”
Manda and Amel immediately cast a look of pity. Right, Laras still has other business with that jerk guy named Angga.
“Peasiness so much you Ra, surrounded by human-human bastards” said Manda iba. Laras laughs. Bitter indeed, but that's the reality that Laras has to face.
“Relax only Nda, this time I will get rid of these bastard humans one by one” reply Laras smiled widely.
