REX AND REN

Is This What Love Is?

Physics lessons are fun as always. Pak Wahyu is giving an example about the discussion of Electric Current Backward on the board. It's not so difficult because I learned about it last night, just to take notes on additional explanations and everything will be more perfect to understand. Right now I have no trouble with the lesson, but I have trouble with my own thoughts. Even before the lesson started, I had trouble concentrating. My mind floated around, repeating two days ago at the computer club.

Two days ago, Abi seemed busy tidying up the computer club room and I decided to help her. Actually Abi did not ask for my help, but as soon as I offered myself he heartily agreed.

“It's really okay, Ren? You dirty-dirty kayak gini?” ask Abi who is cleaning one of the cabinets. The closet contains cables and other components that I don't know the name of.

“Not a problem, really. It's just cleaning.” I replied. I got a piece of dust-cleaning with a duster.

“Thank you so much Ren you already want to help.” I just nodded and smiled. It felt so good to hear Abi say thank you. I do suck at creating chatbot programs but at least I can be useful in terms of cleaning. Moreover, Abi has always helped me, at least this is what I can do to repay him.

“But why are you the only one cleaning? Others never helped?”

“They're on busy with their own business. So, yeah I can't make it too.” You slackers! As a member they should also take responsibility for anything that concerns the computer club, including about hygiene. If this is how the name is happy to be equally difficult alone.

“Sebennya can this room is diirin, not cleaned is also okay. But I'm not comfortable seeing this room get dirty. How also cleanliness is part of the faith.” continued Abi who is now sorting out the components to be grouped according to their type. Unknowingly it turns out from earlier my eyes can not be separated from him. The bell I was holding was just spinning there.

How could there be such a kind and understanding person like Abi? His face, attitude and character were all perfect. Usually, these types of guys only exist in comics or novels. But right now there is one that is plastered for real in front of me, even I had the opportunity to see and chat alone with him. Look how lucky I am! I think slowly Abi will replace Freddie Highmore at the top of my list.

“Ren, you why?” Abi turned and looked at me from top to bottom.

“Ah, it's okay, kok.” My voice sounded blurry. Damnit damnit! It turns out I was daydreaming. Must be Abi was surprised to see me daydreaming with thoughts bouncing everywhere. The shame...

“Yes, geez...Ren's. Sorry, I forgot!” he said while pulling the bidat. Eh? Wh why?

Abi galloped towards the table where he placed his bag and was seen reaching into something inside. After finding him, he came back to me.

“Nih, wear this. Later you will be sick again because of dust.” Without excuse, Abi deftly put the mask on my face. His fingers gently tucked the mask string into my ear. I could only give up, rather freeze in my place like ice cubes.

“I forgetfulness love you mask earlier.” he said again while wearing his own mask.

“OK, we continue again, yuk!” continue with sparkling eyes. I just nodded and smiled happily behind my mask.

I let my heart beat like it was on a rollercoaster ride. I could feel it, the sensation of going up, down and goosebumps simultaneously. Okay, this is so weird! I subconsciously stroked my chest, inhaling and exhaling slowly to calm my heartbeat.

“Oh, yes Ren. What do you want to eat then? You want me to eat a burger like that?” abi asked without taking his eyes off the cable he was rolling. While I with an adoring gaze turned directly towards him.

“Oh, okay..” I replied cleanly. I'm telling you guys, my knee feels weak. Oh my God, if it continues like this, I could have a heart attack!

That's the beginning of the cause of my mind drifting. Actually I tried to get rid of it, but still couldn't. No matter how complicated the physics formula I saw, but my brain still replayed every detail of the incident. Maybe I'm crazy!

I realized, I can't save and deal with this situation myself. I need another opinion to see if I'm really crazy. The second hour of rest I forced Maya to stay in class, even though she whined she wanted to go to the cafeteria. So we took the middle ground, bought snacks and ate them in the classroom. I told her everything that happened to her, including the clean-up with Abi at the time.

“What!” his screeches. My reflex immediately smothered his mouth in fear that someone else would hear, even though there was no one else in the class besides us. Maya put away my hand.

“Seriously? That's real, Ren?” ask again.

“Yes, really. Don't screw May, something will happen!” my protest. Maya did not care.

“Romantis really, Ren! Make envious.”

“Ro-man-tis? What, anyway..” I replied timidly, I also do not understand why I want. Everything is getting more confusing.

“As it is, Abi likes you Ren.” Maya said.

“Hah?” My voice sounds like a fool now. What the hell is Maya thinking, Abi likes me? How could? I mean, really?

“Masa, yes? What the hell is May, as long as I say.” This time my voice sounded like one who was truly hopeful. Ow hell! Why am I being so wrong! Maya shook her head while sucking her drink.

Though I know his experience about men is also not much different from me. Maya had dated Rashid in the tenth grade and in the eleventh grade she was in contact with a football club boy named Gading, but only lasted three months. At that time Maya said they broke up because Ivory cheated on her with a tenth grader named Intan. But anyway Maya was luckier than me because she had experienced the name dating.

“So we can be sure, if Abi likes you, Ren.” he continued. Did ya?

“Terus, how was my theory?” my many. Maya frowned looking confused.

“Which theory?”

“Theory if I think I am crazy, can not concentrate because the mind continues the same incident.” I said anxious. Maya immediately laughed out loud while holding her stomach. So annoying! What the hell is funny?

“May!” my hardik. Maya smothers her mouth, trying to control her laughter.

“It's not because you're crazy, Ren. That's because you're in love again.” she replied with a silly smile on her face. Whahuh? What did Maya just say, I'm in love? Me? No way!

“Apaan anyway, May!”

“Ren, the hell time you can not draw conclusions from all our talks earlier? You are clearly in love with Abi. And falling in love is for people so keep thinking the same people you like, pesis as you are now.”

I just silently did not respond to anything and immediately threw away the face of not daring to look at Maya. My head is filled with many things right now. I don't know, I don't think.

“Ciee...who is again in love.” Maya goda.

“Apaan anyway, May!” my protest. Maya just giggled to see me.

***

Even when I got home, I didn't stop thinking about all my conversations with Maya. I've been sitting at my desk for almost an hour with an open book, but still I can't concentrate.

“It's not because you're crazy, Ren. That's because you're in love again.”

Maya's words kept blazing in my brain. I myself can not analyze for sure, is it true that I fell in love?

The sound of drum blows rang out from Rex's room. Papa is too kind-hearted to waste money on indulging in Rex's unimportant wishes. But maybe I can...

I walked up to Rex's room and opened the door. Rex instantly stopped his drum beat with his hand still holding the stick seen floating in the air when he saw me.

“Okay Her Majesty Queen Reny Aulia Chandra, what is it that Her Majesty came to the room of the commoners like this servant.” he said with a silly face. I galloped towards his bed to pick up a pillow, then threw it towards Rex. Again Rex managed to escape. So annoying!

“Aaan, anyway?” his protest.

“Your drum sounds are noisy!” reply origin.

“The name of the drum is noisy. If you want to calm down, play with your mistress. Already there, interrupt aja.” Rex seemed to be getting ready to hit his drum again.

“Rex,” prevent me.

“What else?”

“Ka-mu..how do you know that you like someone?” many doubt.

Rex frowned.

“Hah?” said later.

“Ah, it's okay. Yes, just a lupain. No importance!” I said as I turned around and closed the door while cursing myself. What the hell was I thinking until I had the idea to ask Rex about this? Obviously, he can only act annoying and piss me off.
