Paper Dove

New Friends and Boyfriend

The school took off the next day after the event, so that the students could rest after doing many activities for 1 full day. Of course I'm happy to be able to wake up in the afternoon. 

At 10am while I was lounging in my room, my aunt came up to me saying that there were guests. Not Juan he said.

I lazily combed my hair and changed into a more decent house shirt, cleaned the dirt with my index finger, lazy to go to the bathroom and wash my face.

Nandes stood at my door with chocolate in his hand. I smiled at him, these few days during my busy life I never remembered Nandes and he didn't come bothering me like he used to. Now he shows up in front of my house without warning. 

" Hey ", say hello to Nandes. 

" Hey too. What's up here? Tumben play ", my question

" I told you I'd visit. Now that I came and I miss ", Nandes answered honestly. 

I laughed stiffly "Kangen kok same me, miss your boyfriend dong. Yuk in ".

Nandes stepped in "I don't have a boyfriend and you're my crush again". 

I laughed again "Starting to scratch. Yesterday friend. Today is gebetan".

Nandes smiled wrongly. 

" What do you want to drink ? a coffee?a tea? white water?", bargained. 

Nandes pretended to think "milk coffee exists?", he asked. 

" There is a like. Want some milk coffee?", I asked while standing up. 

" No. Just coffee?".

I looked at him, narrowing my eyes, aware that he was pranking me "okay wait" I said as I walked into the kitchen. 

I came back with a cup of coffee in my hand. "So what did you come here for?", I asked half-jokingly while putting coffee in front of Nandes. 

" Thank you ma'am. I answered, I miss my mother" replied Nandes looking at me. 

" Seriously ah", my great-grandson. 

" Yes I'm serious. I'm here to see you. I found him in the street", Nandes handed me a bar of chocolate. 

I accepted it while smiling "thank you. Good one ", my chandelier. 

" Yes I'm good just like you, not the same as other girls". 

" Rather? Totally lying. Drink coffee. I take a snack first yes", I went back to the kitchen to tear apart the cupboard.

Auntie went to the market after waking me up. I saw there was a box in the kitchen cabinet and found a stacking block game there. 

" It could be here. Fortunately not damaged ", I hauled a lot of snacks and toys into the living room. 

" Well, you've bothered a lot. All of you have lunch. I plan to be here a long time ago ", Nandes said to me. 

I laugh "nothing is free in this world, man", I'm sarcastic.

Nandes greeted him with laughter. I opened the box and poured all of it on the floor. Not only stacking blocks but gaple cards were there. 

" Do you know how to play?", Nandes asked. 

" Look. I don't know the stacking time", I said arrogantly. 

" Let's play. The loser was good at everything ", Nandes asked me. 

" His head is in the middle", I miss. 

" Okay.. ",Nandes. 

Nandes won the first 4 rounds of the game. The feeling of wanting to win inside me was tempestuous. I wanted to win so much I cheated how many times.

" Hey... Oi... Dew... You cheated. This win is not counted", Nandes was upset and he immediately touched my forehead slowly giving a warning. I'm manyun.

" Okay fair play now.if I win, I'll make the most of the opportunity", I'm determined.

Nandes laughed loudly "Yes.try it.... IF YOU CAN", Nandes sneered.

The increasingly heated competition makes me very careful in pulling each beam. And. effort does not betray results, I won in round 7. I am so glad I clapped my hands so hard. 

Plok .. pdok...

" here.. jidat…. Hurry.", I called Nandes with my index finger. 

Nandes pushed his head towards me lazily. Full of revenge for losing in succession, I nudged Nandes' forehead hard.

Ctaak. Nandes lowered his head to the table, seemingly in pain. I'm worried, not feeling good. I feel like I'm the world's roughest girl.

" Nandes, is it sick? I'm sorry I'm so excited", I'm holding Nandes' arm.

" Ck."., Nandes raised his face, while holding his forehead he grimaced. The red color on his forehead was completely imprinted with real.

Reflexively because of guilt I advanced my body blowing his forehead slowly. Nandes was silent for a few seconds and then turned his face away. I'm surprised, I remember I haven't brushed my teeth, is it because my mouth stinks?.

Duh terribly embarrassed, Ngapain the hell was my mind.

For a second, I understood that maybe Nandes was mad at me "yes, I'm sorry", I said. 

" It's okay.I go home first. I'll be here again", Nandes stood up quickly to get his jacket. Nandes' ears still look red.

I'm not feeling good. Did it hurt too much until he came home. "you're not going to have lunch here?", I asked in a stale manner, detecting anger at Nandes' voice.

" Thank you yes. Next time I will eat here. I go home first yeah", Nandes ruffled my hair slowly then put on a helmet and left on his bike.

" Wah.. Dew... naughty hands ..", I scolded my hand.

" Well, if he has any grudges", I'm pacing back and forth in the living room restless. 

" Ah bodo ah. ", I quickly tidied up all the toys on that table.

Later in the afternoon Juan came to my house. I waited for him on the porch, he parked his bike and took off his helmet.

" Hey pretty. ", she said. 

I smiled, extending my hand. He welcomed. " I brought martabak for aunt" said Juan. 

" Where am I?", I asked. 

" I ... I came for you. ", Juan smiled. 

I pouted. He laughed crisply. " This is for you", Juan handed me a package containing a box of ice cream and 3 paper pigeons.

I'm sumringah. Then we walked into the living room together "it was Nandes here", I told Juan. 

I saw Juan's face a little unhappy. " And then?", Juan asked. 

" Em.he just met and had a quick coffee and left" I explained, hoping Juan wasn't angry.

Juan nodded as he stroked my hair he said "It's okay. He's your friend too. But if later he is rude to you, please tell me. Let me kick him".

I looked at Juan and smiled "Yes. Before you hit me I'll hit you first".

" Well, can you hit people?", Juan teased me. 

" Could dong. Wanna try ? ", i threatened him. 

Juan raised next to his eyebrows pretending to be defiant. I quickly hit his chest. 

Juan looked at me while squinting. "Are you mukul or mijit?".

" I know", I snatch. 

Juan laughed with satisfaction. He pulled me in his warm embrace. The fragrance of cinnamon mixed with citrus is smelled by me and I will remember it throughout my life. 

" Later I'll teach you how to hit Nandes right" Juan spoke to me who fell asleep because of the strong embrace of his arm. 

" But Nandes was kind, polite again, never brash" I replied from inside Juan's arms. 

" Yes he's a good boy just that he's a little sane" Juan nyeletuk. 

I let go of Juan's embrace "So why are you guys hostile?" I was curious. 

Juan saw me "emm. because of his double personality", Juan smiled meaningfully. 

" You lied yes", I accuse. 

" Yes, the problem is complicated. As long as he's nice, you don't have a problem. But don't get too close either, I don't like it" Juan told me honestly. I'm nodding.

We told him about this and that. Juan makes me laugh a lot. Then I told him how I got to this area. Juan listened to me without interrupting. Sometimes she brushes my hair, baby.

" Are you at home?", Juan asked.

" Yes, I feel good because of you" I said.

Juan looked at me with a slightly sad look "When I graduate school what will it be?", asked.

" Hmm that's okay. It's called LDR, I'll go where you go. To where you went to college" I said as I outlined our hands.

Juan still looked at me long enough then he replied "Okay, you should be at home here huh. Want to eat fried rice?", Juan stood up.

" Yes, must be at home. I went to school here", I was confused by juan's statement just now. " Want to buy out?", I asked.

" No, let's cook it. Okay", Juan pulled my hand up.

" Ck. argh.. kirain wants to walk", I complained lazily.

" It's been night. We'll be walking out for the week".

" Promise?", I raised my pinky to Juan.

" Promise", Juan tied his pinky around my pinky.
