12. The Banget Prestigious Luka

Luka was still busy with the task piling up before her. Now he was sitting in the library with his left hand moving incessantly writing something on paper. A flat but handsome face looks more handsome when Luka is seriously working on something.

"Woy, I've been busy seeing" said someone who now sits in the chair next to Luka.

"Lo knows me? Her boyfriend Love," Gega whispered softly as she said her last words towards Luka.

"It's none of my business" Luka replied without looking at Gega.

"Just relax, I'm here just want to meet you," said Gega with his ignorant smile.

"Gue heard yesterday you were on the same path Love, you like her?," asked Gega. The Wound Gel made Gega laugh maddeningly.

"Lying you get caught, it looks like every time you look at him differently. In fact, I often really see you who are worried about me the same way Love both. Ah, you're not smart to be a secret admirer," ledek Gega made Luka look at him dislike.

"Lo disturb me," Luka replied after silently staring intently at Gega.

"Gue can help you make it near sam-" Gega's speech stopped when he heard someone's voice grabbing him.

"Luka, Gega, what are you doing here?" asked Love with three thick books in her arms.

"Eh Love, this is again Luka studying," replied Gega while glancing mischievously at Luka. While the one being stared at was only silent with a flat face.

"Tumben very you, Ge," said Love.

"Hehehe, I'm just in class so go to the library. Eh see Luka again studying alone, so I'm just aja deh," reply Gega.

"If so I go first. The spirit of his learning wounds. I go Gega!," Love soon passes leaving the two men behind.

"Cie. who is in the same spirit of Love," said Gega who is not stopping his tormenting Luka although not ignored by the master.

"Gue didn't ask to be stopped, you could leave," now Luka's left hand jerked the pen into the table. He was serious about his task but Gega kept talking which disturbed him.

"Lo mah, if not thrush yes PMS, if you are not diem yes angry. Confused me," replied Gega who still remained in his place.

"Sir, there's noise in the library. Can you please get it out?," Luka said to the library guard who happened to pass in front of her in a loud voice. Making many pairs of eyes look at him in surprise, the Wounds they had known all along did not say much. But this time they heard more than three words Luka said.

"If you continue to disturb please come out, do not disturb those who are studying in the library," said the library guard to Gega who smiled kindly.

"Ready, Sir. I go first yes, the spirit yes Luka learned her," said Gega repeated the words Love to Luka just now. Then he passed out of the library casually without a care for Luka who looked at him dislikefully.

"Cowok is crazy," muttered Luka who was again busy with her duties.

The roaring breath quickly came out of the nose of Love. He had just completed three rounds of the school basketball court run before starting his gym class. Zemira who had just finished her run approached Love with a faster sigh.

"Crazy times yes, not yet I have a sport that is very dry like this!," said Zemira annoyed.

"Udah instead of complaining continues to mending to the canteen. I bought a drink," Gega arrived to embrace his two female friends to walk towards the canteen.

"You're just a ngagetin," said Cinta who was surprised because of the embrace of Gega who arrived.

"Sorry," Gega replied with a sweet smile. The three of them arrived at the cafeteria.

"Gue wants to meatball each other with his iced orange, Ge!," said Zemira when they had sat themselves in the canteen's chair.

"Remember, yes, my dear Zemira, I treat her to just drink instead of one lunch menu that has food and drinks," Gega replied.

"Yes, Ge, you guys," said Zemira with her pouting face. Gega rolled his eyes then turned to look at Love who arrived speechless upon their arrival in the canteen.

"Lo what do you want, Ta?" asked Love to Gega.

"Lo don't eat, Ta?" asked Zemira.

"I'm not hungry, Zem. Then eat it" replied Love with a smile.

"Don't like to eat late, Ta. Later you will get sick," said Gega before passing to order food and drinks for them.

"Ehm, Ata!. Like, yes, the Gega do not like you," arrived Zemira whispered to Love after Gega went away from their table.

"You have it, yes, Zem. How could Gega like people like me?" replied Love.

"Yes why, it's beautiful, smart, class president, quiet, it's a guy like a silent girl like you know," said Zemira made a smile Love rising.

"If so I would say, I'm the one who doesn't want to open my heart to anyone. Is that enough of an answer?" replied Love.

"It's hard to talk about people who have a purpose in life like you, not like me who follow my life flow like how without having control over my own life," zemira said with a face that arrived to contemplate.

"Zemi, I've often said the same to you. If you, me, or whoever it is has a different journey, so you and I have different destinations as well. We can't have the same trip, Zem. I have a goal to live well in the future, maybe everyone has a goal like that. But the way we do it to get to the destination is different, Zem. My present life is not what I want it to be, so I want to make my life in the future according to my wishes in this way, studying, working, working, and stay away from something that can block my path to get to the goal that I want to achieve" explained Love with a hand that grasps Zemira's fingers.

"Ah, Love. Lo mah make me want to cry on!," Zemira hugged Love tightly.

"Well, what's up? The teletubies move here, Ta?," asked Gega who had just come with two bowls of meatballs along with the drinks they wanted.

"You're late, Zemi's crying" whispered Love to Gega who sat down next to her.

"Crying why?," Gega's reply stared at the two confusedly.

"Udah ah not to mention I'm hungry!," Zemira immediately ate his meatballs that still look hot smoky.

Love came home late enough. He does ask for overtime every Sunday night, because the florist must be crowded with buyers. And now it was ten o'clock in the evening he had just arrived home on his bike. Her mind was still busy finding the right time to discuss her Father's matter to Mother. He was afraid that Mother even made mind and restless.

"Love why stay outside instead of her going inside?" asked Meta with her maternal smile.

"Eh, Mommy. Yes this new Love will enter," reply Love who was a little surprised by the arrival of his Mother.

"Yuk in. Cold outside," invites Meta while holding the hand of Love to enter together.

"Love to eat, yeah. I've cooked your favorite fried chicken" Meta said when Cinta came out of the room after changing clothes.

"Thank you a lot, yes, Mom," Love immediately ate the food that Mother had prepared. Although now his appetite is really gone, he just wants to think about how to ask Mom about Dad.

"What are you thinking about again? I saw from earlier bengong continue," asked Meta who looked at Love worriedly.

"No, Ma. Love is just sleepy," replied Love with a reassuring smile.

"If you have eaten, you rest, yes," said Meta while stroking the top of the head of Love gently.

"Mother rest, let Love be at home" Love soon rose from her seat and began to clean the house. Meta smiled softly looking at his son. He knows, so much weight on his shoulders. But Love always shows that he has no burden whatsoever with his cheerful smile.

"You don't always have to look good, Love," said Meta who made the movement of Love that was sweeping the floor stopped.

"You can also say you're cape, you're human. No one will forbid you to take a short break because you are tired. You can't keep hiding behind the bright smile that you always display, to cover your tiredness," continued Meta.

"If this is the only way for me to survive, what else do I have to do, Mom?. Sometimes I just need to look good, so as not to make things go bad. I just have this way, Mom," Love replied with an innocent look.

"You can hide when you feel bad. You have a mother, you have friends, you have a lot of people who love you, Love" said Meta.

"I knew. Therefore I have to look good so that they are also good. Because I know, they also have a problem that they have to solve. Like you, I know a lot of things that I'm fighting. That's why I don't want to put my burden on you anymore. I can, Mom. I can treat my own wounds, "Reply Love then he resumed his work cleaning the house leaving Meta who was silent because stunned by the true talk of Love there her. It turns out that pura is fine that is necessary. Not to look strong, but to help people around him not to keep too much weight.
