Birthday Anniversary

Lucy is opening her locker when Yeni and Wulan pass by, also about to open a locker not far from Lucy's locker. Lucy notices people who were once her close friends but first. Now Lucy spends more time with Arnold and yesterday she deals with the Jhansen Wijaya (Chris, Patrick, Kevin to Jack). Lucy thinks she doesn't have any more girlfriends here.

Yeni and Wulan seem different, more girly and tend to pretend not to recognize Lucy. This is what makes Lucy so upset. Does Yeni still think of it as a thief? Is there always trust in each other?

Yeni returned Lucy's gaze. He smiled thinly. “I saw the power you deket same Arnold ya?”

Lucy frowning. How could Yeni know about Arnold? Well, Lucy does not know if Arnold also Jhansen Wijaya, including Yeni's love besides Jack Putra, the psychopath.

Yeni threw away her face, haughty. “His gel is starting to look..”

Wulan nodded slowly, completely unwilling to look at Lucy. Yeni assumes that Lucy approached Arnold just to go after the money. Jhansen Wijaya is rich! And Yeni is getting ill-feel on Lucy, upset because it is the man she likes close to Lucy.

Lucy gaping impulse. “What?” Lucy just snorted, quickly locked her locker and scrambled away from the place. That's enough.

Lucy rushes to the library park. He's gonna tell Arnold this sad event.

****

“Dah, Arnold!!” said Lucy entered Building B, her dorm, parted ways with Arnold who was going to Building A.

“Tomorrow meeting in the park yes..”

Lucy nodded with a happy smile. He is so happy today. He and Arnold were in the library all day discussing lectures, encyclopedias, Arnold's favorite books and other books Lucy had just learned about. Arnold did read it too.

Lucy walked cheerfully into her dorm.

Upon entering the recreation room, he was surprised to see Chris sitting there. “Chris?”

Chris looked. His face looks tired.

Lucy sits on the couch, across from Chris' couch. “What's up?”

Chris sighed instead, “Where the hell? I've been waiting 3 hours.”

“Ta-same Arnold in perpus..”

Chris was silent to that answer. He pointed at the large package that was on the table.

“What is it?” lucy asked to see the package on the table.

“For you. Open aja..”

Lucy opens the box and finds a Tazmania doll that may be more precisely called a pillow with a Tazmania doll. Lucy staring at Chris, “There is..what?”

Chris sighed again, “Today I'm birthday..”.

Gluey!

Lucy knows Chris' birthday is today!! “Se-happy then... But what does this doll mean?”

Chris smiled faintly, “Take this as my birthday celebration..”

“Ha?” Lucy cengo. What kind of freak is this Chris?? 'I should have given him a gift, but why did he give me a present?? Anyway. I'm right.. not who!'

“Receive aja. No meaning whatsoever kok.”

Lucy just nodded.

Lucy silently looked at the guy. 'She why the hell? What birthday is here? And he fell asleep on the couch?? Geez, I feel guilty, but he didn't come here!'

“Chris.... If you're on your birthday why are you here?? I mean.. There will be your cousins. and..” Lucy does not continue her words, she wants to call Sani but somehow she can not.

Chris smiled bitterly. “So early in the morning kok many gifts in front of my bed..” He remembers even Sani came early\-morning to bring a big gift. “But... I still feel lonely today.. Cousin\-my cousin is busy.. somehow take care of what... So I'm here.. I think you... no event... it turns out...” Chris smiled blandly.

Lucy looks into Chris' eyes, eyes that seem to be full of emptiness and loneliness. “Did you always feel like this?”

Chris was surprised by the question. But inevitably he just nodded.

There is a feeling of pity in Lucy when she sees the face of Chris who is confused. I don't know why Lucy wanted to erase that sadness. Lusy doesn't know what else to say. It does not feel good if you have to ask him various kinds especially those related to the most sensitive things.

Lucy stood up. “You want me to make no food? You must be hungry, right?”

Chris stumped.

“Emang anyway I'm not too good at cooking, but canalah.” Lucy laughs softly, “Wait here ya. I'm going to cook first. Well at most an hour.”.

Chris was about to get up and follow Lucy into the dorm kitchen.

“Eits, I'll just..” hold Lucy, “You're here, you can't go to the kitchen too. Deal?”

Chris smiled confused. “Yes deh..”

Lucy went straight to the kitchen. First, I was confused what to cook. But eventually, he cooked scrambled eggs, carrot soup, and a cheese corn mouth opener.

Lucy presents everything she cooks in front of Chris. “Well, eaten yes. Even if it is sober..well eat it deh..”.

Chris looked at the food in front of him. Surprised and felt strange with the view of the cuisine. But Chris was eager to respect what Lucy had done, so he just ate. And when permeating the cuisine, somehow Chris' heart was moved.

“Where?” ask Lucy deg-degan because the guy has not commented.

Chris smiled and started eating with passion, “Enak.”.

Lucy smiled as well. Did not expect that he would host Jhansen Wijaya with simple cuisine.

Chris felt his heart melt right now. On her birthday someone cooked for her! And the most special because Lucy did it!! Without telling.

“Why are you confessing all this?” ask Chris while adding carrot soup.

Lucy direct pongo. 'Yes, why would I cook for him? How did I become a bego gini anyway??'

Chris looked at Lucy and laughed. “Whatever the reason...Thanks yes..”.

Lucy nodded. He felt his face hot. Lucy noticed Chris eating with that pleasure. Somewhat moved, especially before Chris just said that he felt lonely, whether because of what, but his cousins are many right in this school? The wealth is also a lot, can buy this it, at will.

“Chris... if you feel lonely again.. Just play here... I will try to make the loneliness disappear..”.

Chris looked over, surprised by the girl's words. Though it felt before they were far apart, not talking to each other, but now it feels like back again. Chris smiled, “Iya..”

Lucy was unaware of the words she had just said. She doesn't remember going out with Arnold at all. Stupid, right?
