REX AND REN
Dream Guys
After interrogating Maya about how Rex knew I was in the computer club, I could only sigh. Maya used to be kinked, but she knew that I wasn't easily lied to. When I repeatedly protested to her why she had to tell Rex, in the end I just got a classic answer.
“I don't have the heart Ren see Rex's glowing face please-please.”
Afterwards Maya forced me to come with me to a meeting at the computer club. He said he couldn't sleep all night thinking about the excrement I was following. I wonder why he should think? Neither are its members! At first I rejected his idea, but he insisted that I introduce him to the boys of the club. And here I am, walking with Maya holding my hand tight.
“So I can't wait, Ren. About what they're like, huh?”
“Yes, man, May.”
“That means cute? What's as cute as Rex?”
Hello.please de Maya, Rex is ordinary! After all why the hell should Rex be a comparison?
“That's why don't you talk about Rex!” my annoyance.
“Iya, yes. Very sensitive, anyway.”
Hearing Rex's name called me so I thought back to what happened at dinner. Mama decorated the dining room with a million-color balloons and congratulatory inscriptions that looked absolutely ridiculous. Not that I do not appreciate, but for God's sake, I only participate in the experience not winning the world-level science competition or not also winning the peace nobel. And the grin on Rex's innocent face completes all my frustration.
“Aduh, Ren, my heart will be dislodged.” Maya said while holding her chest. It should be that stubborn now me, what try the response of the boys about me. Bringing others here just to see their levels of antics and not to join the ranks.
We were in front of the door, I knocked for a moment before finally opening it and entering. Maya already put on her deathly smile and twisted behind me. The one who first greeted us with his cynical gaze was Niko. Unknowingly I immediately swallowed.
“Ren, the twelfth is Niko? Oh my God, crazy saucy,” whispered Maya. His eyes could not immediately look at Niko. If Maya knew the handsome face of Niko was very inversely proportional to her character.
“Hai, Ren. New dateng?” greet Abi kindly. Seeing Abi here is like seeing an oasis in the middle of the desert.
“Iya.” Abi galloped towards me.
“This who?” he looked at Maya.
“This is me.” I replied. Abi nodded.
“You joined the computer club too?”
“Oh, no really. I'm just doing Ren.” I glanced at Maya, she just grinned as she continued to spread her deathly smile. The cliche reason, the fact that he is clearly the one who is willing to come along!
“Oh, so. Oh, yes, I'm Abi.”
“Kayak aja small children dianterin.” ledek Rudy who is now sitting next to Doni and Ferdi, of course while whispering watching us. I only responded, stupid!
“Kenalin too, it was Rudy, Doni, Ferdi, well who played the computer Niko.” explained Abi introduced the other members.
“Wah, many also yes members..” timpal Maya pleasantries.
“There is still a Son, but he does not know where.” Maya is just a mangosteen.
“Yes already, if so enjoy it here.”
“OK..” Abi then went to work on the program. I pulled out my chair and sat down at my computer. Not to miss Maya also sat next to me.
“Eh, Ren. Abi's pretty good too, huh? But..” whispered.
“But?”
“Iya, but Niko is the most handsome. If gini is serious, nih, Rex has a rival.” he continued again. I can only shake my head at Maya's behavior. Tired of hearing the chatter, I turned on the computer and reworked my program. Maya herself was still at home looking at Niko with a smile, which I believe she must also be fantasizing. Niko herself, looks unconcerned and stays focused with her computer screen. Suppose there is an earthquake, maybe he will not shift from his position. That guy really...
***
I, on the other hand, am not that easy to forget Maya's words.
“Eh, Ren. Abi is pretty good too, huh?”
What the hell was Maya thinking? Of course Abi is good! No, he's more than good. In fact, I can't imagine anyone better than Abi!
For example, how he wags his bangs from the forehead, how his playful laughter makes you want to laugh with him, or how his shoulder field moves behind his uniform. The most important thing was that his considerate and friendly attitude could make everyone's heart melt. Abi has no match, even Rex who is idolized by all women in school, nothing.
When it comes to men's affairs, my history is not long. I'm an introvert, but there was once a guy who liked me. Let's see, first of all, there was Willy, my friend at Kindergarten. We sat down and he often lent me his color crayon. I remember one day Willy kissed me on the cheek, whether intentional or not, but I wasn't angry, even happy. Even though it happened during Kindergarten, Willy still likes me.
There is another Rangga, his house is still in the same compkek as me. My classmate from fifth grade SD. I remember once Rangga often treat me snacks in the canteen, chicken corned balls are good. Rangga also often come to play at my house, but Rex the ringleader always just mengahililnya. Once Rangga came to bring a pack of chocolate cookies to my house. We had no time to eat, Rex forcefully seized it while saying that if Rangga wanted to keep playing to my house, he would have to bring a lot of food. Otherwise he would be cursed, vomiting maggots while eating.
From that day on, Rangga never came to my house again. Look, even when it was a fifth grade SD, Rex was so annoying! Until now I have never again greeted Rangga. But I often see him walking with his friends with electric guitars, maybe now he's a band boy or something.
My portrayal of the dream guy is not far from the figure of the nerd. My favorite series is The Good Doctor Hollywood, not Korea! Freddie Highmore was a cool guy for me. His face looks innocent but on the other hand has an aura that I think is smart. I once read an article that in real life, Freddie was also an introvert, and it made me feel connected to him. Of course I realize, how could Freddie know me? Knowing that there was an introvert like him named Ren breathing in this world too, surely he did not know. But right now all I know, a Saylendra Abhimanyu from the computer club is aware of my whereabouts and it makes me very happy!
