Entering second grade me and the kriwul gang separated the class. Diah and I remained one class in II IPA 2 Aura soared to II IPA 1 with Dimas and Abas, Ayu entered in class 2 Language 1. My class in the middle became a gathering place for the kriwul gang when the break time arrived.
During Dimas in America Abas used to play to my class to meet Rendi. She used to go to my class with Aura. It seems that they are getting closer even Aura once told me that Abas had invited her to the boarding house and introduced her to his Om. I just want to share with both of them. There is no hope for me anymore.
It was the first day Dimas came from America. I heard from Aura he said he didn't make it to the final father, I felt guilty I mean maybe Dimas became out of concentration because he broke up with me. I don't want to see him but still I want to know. I want to see it even if it's from far away.
“Who to look for? No one, no more in the principal's room,” Abas told me as I quietly peeked at their class from the window.
“Search Aura kok!” I answered briefly as I hurriedly left Abas running towards my class.
-*-*_*-*-
The next day Dimas picked me up at Kos, he looked a little pale, like exhausted. I wanted to reject her invitation to go to school together, but I was worried that there would be nothing on the road if she was alone like that time. That morning Dimas was very different, he didn't say much, just answered my question in two words maybe he was angry because I had made him lose the competition in America.
“You sick?” ask me on Dimas who looks pale
“No,” the answer is short
“Pale kok?” I want to make sure
“Sort,”
“Capean on the way from America?”
“Not,”
“Capean many interviews?”
“Not,”
“Clearned tired of what?”
“Capek thought to you,” he replied softly almost inaudible to me, I could only sigh deeply, for some reason the bright morning was cloudy.
“Why?” ask Dimas suddenly
“Nothing,” I replied softly
“Not now, why look for me in class?” tanya Dimas makes me wonder what to answer
“Who is looking for you? I'm looking for Aura kok,” I'm trying to find an excuse
“Then why run?” ask Dimas later
“Don't know,” I answered softly with a little holding back crying, somehow it felt like I wanted to cry
“If you are upset, just get angry, just yell, just hit it but don't shut up,”
“Iya,”
The word yes just came out of my mouth with tears that began to wet my cheeks, do not ask why I was crying, I myself do not know the answer.
-*-*_*-*-
As usual during the break time the kriwul gang gathered in class, I and Diah were helping ayu edit the papers for mading. The aura that had just come with a half-run looked panicked
“Eka Dimas entered UKS, she fainted!” said Aura with a loud breath
“UKS?” much
I immediately ran towards the UKS. Aura, Ayu and Diah are after me. Upon arrival there I saw Abas who was talking to the UKS doctor, his face looked worried. Aura approached him and asked what was wrong with Dimas. Apparently his magh relapsed, likely due to fatigue and a lot of thought. The doctor suggested immediately taking him to the Hospital to get better treatment. I was so panicked, feeling guilty for ignoring him. I mean I've known she's been sick since morning but I just let her.
-*-*_*-*-
After school I, Aura, Ayu, Diah and Abas visited him in the hospital, he looked fresher than before. At the hospital I met Mama Dimas and Citra Dimas' sister. Papa Dimas is taking care of the hospital administration. Apparently Dimas has just been transferred from the ER.
“Picture yesterday cottage entrance exam huh? Smooth right?” ask me to Citra.
I heard the news from Mother who told me about her admiration for Mama Dimas who could educate her daughter's son to be a great person.
“Susah kak, memorize the verse a lot,” Citra replied complaining
“But you can right?” tanyaku tease which greeted with a sweet smile Citra
“Kok udah entrance exam cottage is Citra of what class?” ask Aura
“Third grade SMP brother,” replied Citra with a sweet seyum
“Wah great yes still young but already the spirit of religious learning,” said Diah
“Hehehe wish to pass huh sis? Pray to pass the National Examination also hehehe,” Citra replied while grinning similar to Dimas when grinning
“Definitely graduated, Mama and Papa's children will be smart,” I replied entertaining Citra
“Amiin,” said Mama Dimas guaranteed my prayer
“Alhamdulillah,” sounds Dimas who just woke up from his sleep
“Eh has woken up in tengokin, how are you?” greet Abas to Dimas
“Kangen so much with you Bas, not satisfied it feels like sleeping in your arms after a long time apart hahaha,” replied Dimas stain Abas who suddenly made everyone in the room laugh
“Cok! gilo,” Abas exclaimed loudly forgetting that there was Mama Dimas there.
Cok or jancok is a swear word in Surabaya, this word is classified as rough but very commonly used by boys in their familiarity. Gilo is disgusted.
“Sorry aunt” said Abas later
“Udah can idly gini means already healed, yuk friends come home aja,” said I avenge for Abas
“Eh do not Brother, still miss,” prevent Dimas that makes friends exclaim
“Ciyee, kangen who is Mas?” ask Ayu
“Who else is yuk? hahaha,” replied Diah
Everyone in the room laughed I'm sure the laugh was meant for me. Abas laughs, sucks, I'm starting to dislike the atmosphere. I mean things like this that make me and Dimas awkward to be friends again after a break up.
“Kangen Abas did I say?” dimas replied after seeing the look on my pouting face.
I know he wants to keep my feelings in check because it could be said we just made peace.
“Sama, who is it?” ask Dimas wonder
“Sama kayak Aura, kangen is also the same Abas” sedu Ayu for Aura who is greeted with Diah who pushes Aura closer at Abas, looks awkward face Abas responds to Aura's shy smile. Everyone laughed except me, just a little smile so as not to seem stiff.
-*-*_*-*-
That night Mother called me to tell me if Abah fell from the bathroom. That day was about the third day Dimas was hospitalized. I immediately went to the hospital in a rickshaw. Dimas was on break at the time.
“Assalamualaikum Aunt, Om,”
I salute Dimas' parents.
They looked surprised I came, it was nine o'clock in the evening it was not a big clock.
“Waalaikumsalam, what is it Eka night-night here son?” ask Mama Dimas
“Hhmmm” I was confused to start from where “Anu, Eka wanted to deliver a message from Mother, she said Om and Aunty asked to go home, Abah fell in the bathroom Auntie,” says I'm careful afraid Dimas' parents are surprised.
“Inalillahiwainnailaihirajiun, right it's Eka?” asked Papa Dimas in shock, Mama Dimas also looked surprised
“Police Citra must be confused Pa,” said mama Dimas while squeezing both palms
“It has been called Dad doctor kok Aunty, but Mother's message should be Aunty and Om home, so while I am looking after Dimas,” said I calm Mama Dimas who had started crying
“Tante titip Dimas yes son, tomorrow morning Aunt will be here” soon
“Iya Aunty no need to worry, there are friends of my kos sister who can help keep Dimas tomorrow morning aunt,”
“Alright, Dimas has rest like this usually just wake up at dawn, please check the infusion if you call the nurse, he can eat himself for breakfast, please check the infusion, if there is anything you call home yes Eka,” Papa Dimas explained the situation Dimas “Om and Auntie saying yes son, titip Dimas,” said Papa Dimas before leaving.
That night I was alone together in a room with Dimas, it felt very strange. I looked at his sleeping face.
“Sedang sleep alone handsome,” I said slowly with a smile. I don't know when I started to like to look at Dimas's face. Had there been paper and pencil at the time I would have drawn them. Feeling sleepy I lay down on the sofa next to Dimas' bed.
-*-*_*-*-
My body feels warm and comfortable, I feel like a caress Mother in the head when I want to wake me up at dawn.
“Mother,” I said with a smile in a still hoarse voice.
I reached for the hand that was defending me to feel big and sturdy not like the hand of Mother then slowly I opened my faint eyes I saw the face of Dimas was looking at me with a smile. I almost forgot I was in the hospital to look after Dimas. I woke up, but Dimas was holding me back
“It's still night,” he said as he tidied up the blanket he had wrapped covering my body.
I saw the wall clock showing at one in the morning, and then I saw that the infusion of Dimas had changed completely. Apparently he woke up because the infusion ran out. I feel guilty because instead of me looking after Dimas, he took care of me and put me on a blanket.
“Sorry, I overslept until I didn't know your infusion ran out,” I said regretfully
“It's okay I happen to be wanting to go to the bathroom,” she replied with a sweet smile, somehow it feels Dimas now different, softer.
“You want me to help you?” I said I offered myself up which made Dimas laugh
“Hahaha, help what? Pants off? Off shirt? Or take a shower?” Dimas laughed at me.
I almost forgot if Dimas was a man, how could I offer help to the bathroom. Sometimes I suck.
“Not funny!” my answer was crashing to hide Dimas' shame just laughing.
I errat back Dimas doesn't turn still as annoying as ever.
“Kok you can be here? Where's Papa's Mama?” asked Dimas to me, which made me confused about how to explain it
“Hhhmmm, that's hhmmm,” I still think the right reason for Dimas not to be surprised “hmmm came home to accompany Citra,” I said later
“Any for what? Did something happen?” ask Dimas to make sure
“It fell from the bathroom, but now it's fine, already treated by a doctor, just pity Citra alone at home,” I tried to calm Dimas
“May Abah be okay,” Dimas said with a worried face
“You want to drink?” I asked to switch the conversation and it seemed Dimas understood if I was trying to calm him down.
“No, I want to be in the hug,” Dimas replied irritatingly and standing up hitting his arm while being angry, he just laughed and acted in pain.
-*-*_*-*-
The morning prayer woke me up from sleep. I saw Dimas being cool with the thing in his hand. I just found out he has a cell phone. Realizing I had woken up Dimas smiled at me and said
“Assalamualaikum beautiful who when sleeping snoring,” He ruined my morning with his words, I threw him a sofa pillow he laughed “loh even angry, not answered my greetings?” said later
“Waalaikumsalam ganteng who sleep ngowoh, fortunately no cockroaches enter!” I replied to her joke, she just laughed.
“In the meantime Abas here you can go home,” Dimas said later
“Loh Abas not school?” aska wants to know
“Males should never skip let not be said cupu,” Dimas said with a laugh
“So this is our exemplary High School student?" I said stain the Dimas
“Hahaha, but without realizing I was the student who most often skipped, yesterday to America I skipped one week, robotics race truant three days, olympics skipped two days, not yet the process of guidance, not yet, it feels like almost every day I leave class hours,” He replied while remembering “But even though many truancy still I rank one, wonder the others at what the hell in school? Diligently enter its value that much,”
“Somboooong!”
I yelled at him and drowned him in the blanket I was wearing. Dimas laughed loosely and I was still nagging until the sound of Dimas' new HP 'clothes' fell to the floor. I hurried to pick it up, relieved that I saw that its outer form was not scratched in the least.
“Since when do you have HP?” ask me while returning the HP to Dimas
“Born buy time in America so you can call the same one at home,” replied Dimas, I just nodded my head to understand.
“After entering the digital era, everyone will definitely have HP not just for phone or text but also to send pictures even live video” dimas try to explain but I can not imagine, I can not imagine, HP is ordinary, I don't know when I will have let alone who can send live video.
“I want to take part in the development” he said while looking at the HP he held.
Maybe what Dimas meant at that time was the android HP as we currently use. At that time I felt Dimas was disappointed because he could not win the competition. I felt guilty but I knew if I apologized Dimas would not accept it, then I chose to encourage him to come back optimistic.
“Amin, I am sure a Dimas will be able to achieve his goals, I guarantee,” I said with a smile, then he joined in smiling.
That day without a word of peace, without an apology Dimas and I were friends again. It turned out not to be as difficult as I thought, right said Raka Dimas would definitely not mind going back to being friends because he wanted me to be happy.
