It was seen that the trespassers were almost all women, some people I knew greeted me and shook hands with me. Dimas has not returned from the funeral. At his house I met Mother who was hugging Mama Dimas, beside her there was a crying image, apparently Kak Putri had not arrived. I greeted them and hugged Mama Dimas to say a condolence.
“Sabar Aunty, today is Friday insyaallah Abah spared from the torture of the grave and may khusnul khotimah,” I said strengthen Mama Dimas
“Thank you Eka, thank you for delivering the message and looking after Dimas, if there is no Eka everything can be too late, maybe Om and Auntie will not have time to hear Abah's will,” replied Mama Dimas in a raucous voice
“What is Abah's will?” aska wants to know
“Caring for the mosque where Abah practices his knowledge,” replied mama Dimas with a smile mixed with tears. I smiled and rubbed Mama Dimas's arm
Dimas and a group of rescuers returned from the funeral. I saw Dimas walking with his Dad and Dad and Dwi. I saw Dimas smiling at me, I knew he was grieving but didn't want to show it. Abas and I approached him to greet him.
“Sorry too late can't take Abah to his final resting place,” Abas told Dimas
“It's okay, instead later tonight you go play your favorite solo song so you can rest well,” said Dimas teased Abas and Abas hit Dimas' arm, while I cried instead
“If you are sad why laugh? Sad it was crying, you stupid Dimas!” i told him.
I didn't mean to be rude to Dimas, it was just that throughout the trip I was worried about him. He has not fully recovered with the predicate of patients going home forcibly, I fear if he will return sick.
“Nangisnya later tonight in the room alone,” Dimas said to me while taking a handkerchief from Abas pocket and gave it to me
“That's mine,” Abas said
“Borrow later returned,” replied Dimas made me start laughing and Dimas and Abas laughed along.
That's how Dimas he was always my protector even when he needed protection. I'm so lucky to have a friend like Dimas.

The next day we went to school with Papa Dimas. He will be picking up Princess at the City station. Understandably trains from Jakarta only stop at large stations. It seems like the train that was boarded by the Princess was the same as the train that Dimas and I were riding on at the moment.
I asked Dimas if he should not leave school considering he had just been sick and Abah had just died after all that day was Saturday.
“You sure you went to school today? Not just skip?” ask me about Dimas
“Do not, exemplary students must set a good example,” he said as he chewed on the provisions that his mother had prepared
“Say you missed the most in school? Add a day no problem dong?” I said he was insinuating at that time
“Mama is not off cooking, Papa is not off to pick up Princess, cook me off school?” dimas's question made me and Abas smile and his father spoke up
“Sok mature once you are young, do not remember when the breakup cry how? yes not Bas?” ask Papa Dimas to Abas
“Sstttt there is a person here later he grew his head already mourned handsome guy,” said Dimas stopped his Papa and Abas told me.
Everyone laughed except me, I pouted and snapped Dimas' head from behind. At that moment Dimas was sitting next to his father who was driving, I was sitting behind Dimas and Abas behind papa Dimas.
“Loh kok I who was in the pitak, Papa who started,” said Dimas did not accept
“But I'm the same as you!” answer me ketus
“Don't be so sweet later love hahaha,” Dimas replied with a laugh making me even more upset then I strangled his neck from behind.
Dimas complained to his father, but his father laughed. I jegkel with Dimas I mean does he need to humiliate me in front of Abas and his Papa? In the meantime I saw Abas throwing his eyes out the window like he was thinking something.

It was time for a break, Aura and Ayu came to my class and Diah. They asked about Dimas' condition after hearing from Ayu that Abah Dimas had died. I explained that Dimas was fine and had gone back to school. Aura also added that in the class Dimas seemed fine and followed the lesson as usual even though many teachers asked him news. Then I started changing the subject to collect Ayu's promise.
“Hhmmm but you guys promise you won't be mad huh?” ask Ayu to us
“What is Yu?” ask Diah to know
“Promise first!” said Ayu pleading then I started the promise and the others followed
“Bagas who loves the poem I have met him,” replied ayu resignedly
“Continue? Is he really the one?” ask Diah curious
“Not, but Rendi,” Ayu replied to a shame that made me and my friends shocked
“Therefore you made him?” I asked Ayu who made Aura and Diah surprised
“Jadian? Same Rendi?” aura exclaimed which made Ayu flounder and begged for us to calm down, she did not want the gossip to spread quickly.
“Please do not rame-rame, plis plis pliiis, horrifying me first,” said Ayu then we listened carefully Ayu's story.
"Actually because of Eka's advice I became brave to ask to meet with the Bagas. After meeting I was surprised it turned out that the person had been Rendi all along. Then I asked Mr. Min it turned out that time Mr. Min was wrongly arrested. Asked by Mr. Min I asked who broke my boat then Mr. Min replied Bagas, because usually the Bagas who made the act of damaging or stealing spare accessories in the parking lot,” is obviously Ayu who made us all laugh out loud.
“Hahaha so Mr Min doesn't know who put the poem? But you think you're asking about thieves? Ridiculous the hell Yuk,” Diah laughs curled up while banging on the bench. Ayu looked embarrassed but laughed
“So how did you guys finally date?” ask me curious
“After the meeting Rendi often took me to the mini library in the new park, it turned out that it belonged to her family. We talked a lot about literature, then he expressed his feelings through a song that he created himself specifically for me,” Ayu said with a shy blush.
“Don't tell me that's the song I brought when asked for a collaboration with RAIN band?” ask Aura to make sure
“Hehehe yes,” Ayu replied shyly
“Aw Ayuu the song is romantic once, hmmm I envy you,” said Aura while hugging Ayu.
We congratulated Ayu but also continued to tease her. Even when Rendi entered the class Diah immediately held her hostage and announced in front of the class the most romantic new couple. Both Ayu and Rendi both seemed to blush in embarrassment. I was so happy to see the wrong behavior of both of them. At least it was good news that brought a fresh breeze among the storms that blew lately.

The morning clouded on Sunday, Dimas and I did not come home for fear that Dimas would be exhausted if pacing home. That morning I was busy wrapping presents for Dimas. A piece of light blue handkerchief that I knitted the initials D.N in the lower right corner. Don't ask me what the gift is to celebrate, I don't know myself. Perhaps to encourage him to keep fighting for his dream and to boast of the late Abah.
Dimas has a habit of sweaty hands when being nervous, I think a handkerchief will be very suitable for him, especially I know he almost never carries a handkerchief and always borrows Abas.
That day we promised to go to the square for a morning walk I planned to give her the card at that time. But it turned out that the weather said otherwise, just now we met in the rain square had already swept us. We took shelter inside a guard post that was only used when there was activity in the square. Dimas gave me his jacket so I wouldn't get cold. Thank you for giving me the gift I had prepared earlier.
“You alone wear it so as not to hurt,” I refused the jacket he covered on my back
“You choose a jacket or I'm the hug?” dimas' words left me no choice but to wear that jacket
“Thank you, uh I have something for you Mas,” I said as I handed you a neatly wrapped gift “I hope you keep the spirit to continue to pursue your ideals,”
I saw dimas staring at the gift for quite a while without saying any words, then there were tears running down his cheeks, I was sure it was tears even though he said it was rainwater. I wasn't sure if Dimas was smiling or crying but it felt like I wanted to pat him on the back to calm him down. I think he remembered Abah who liked to give him a prize every time he won the race.
He looked at me as if very deep inside me. After quite a while looking at her smile, a smile that was different from usual, a sincere smile that made my heart feel tremble. I don't know what happened when Dimas grabbed me and hugged me tight enough. He whispered in my ear
“Kangan go, don't leave me.”
I don't want people to look and be mistaken with that hug, but I'm not up to the heart to let go. I feel like Dimas needs her the most. He has had difficult days.
