SECRET Love High School

Matchmaker

That night Kak Ana and I accompanied Kak Ajeng to meet Kak Joni in the city park. Kak Ajeng has graduated from college and is planning a wedding with Kak Joni. The four of us sit on a park bench while enjoying a souvenir moci by Kak Joni from Jogja. From behind there was a woman who suddenly doused my head with a drink. I don't know her only ever seen her a few times in a basketball game, he said, she was a cheerleader I knew her name was Elsa from Ayu the next day at school.

“What does it mean?” asked Ana with a high tone full of emotion

“Eh no need to interfere! This is the affair between me and him!” the woman answered with emotion.

That night I wondered what was this really about? I didn't understand the circumstances of that time, I couldn't digest it in my brain, the sound of the poisons rumbled indistinctly in my ears and then slowly all the sounds disappeared. I saw Kak Ana and Kak Ajeng had a big fight with Elsa and her four friends, they insulted each other, pointed at each other and even pushed each other, Brother Joni and some people I don't know where to come from trying to break them up, I don't remember how it all ended. I remember Kak Joni driving me back to the boarding house on a motorcycle while Kak Ana and Kak Ajeng followed by a rickshaw ride. While waiting for Kak Ana and Kak Ajeng, Brother Joni asked me."

“You're still dating Dimas?” I just shrug my head. “The child who claimed to be Dimas' girlfriend, if it is true that you should temporarily stay away from Dimas, Kak Joni does not want to interfere with your problems, Brother just does not want Eka to get hurt, he said, Eka is still innocent, while they are city teenagers who have the wrong association they could go back to attack Eka, you should now focus on learning, remember Eka is third grade, Eka wants to go to college right?” I just nodded my head in understanding and expressed Kak Joni's advice.

All night long I couldn't sleep thinking about Joni's advice. I felt that what Brother Joni said was true but I promised Dimas never to leave again. I once felt bad away from Dimas and I didn't want it to happen again. I finally decided to meet Elsa to solve the problem well.

That morning I was accompanied by Ayu went to look for him in class 3 IPS III. He still looks upset at me.

“I came to finish last night,” I said firmly

“Better if you love Dimas and do not appear again in front of me!” answer with a high tone.

Believe me it sucks, I came all right but he made a fuss. I saw Ayu getting furious but I held her back because I knew we were in her classroom.

“Dimas is my friend so there's no way I can know him,”

“Eh nyolot you yes!” Elsa pointed her index finger right at my face.

“Eh relaxed dong, we will come well!” Ayu can't wait to see Elsa's behavior.

“Sabar Yu,” I said to calm Ayu, “if you like Dimas is not this way, Dimas will even be angry if he knows his friend is being bullied,,” my words make the woman slightly lower her tone.

“Aren't you his ex? I was rejected because he said he still wants to be with you,” he replied with a face that still sucks.

“Dimas does always use me to reject women,”

“Really? So you guys have nothing to do?”

“True!” answer's short.

“I ask for proof!” said the woman very irritatingly.

“What?” I wonder what the woman is planning.

That night I promised Elsa to help her with her PDKT with Dimas. I took Dimas to dinner at the city park. I remember it was raining that day, Dimas came to pick me up with a rickshaw. Along the way to the city park Dimas continued to wring his sweaty hands. She seems nervous, maybe she thinks I'm asking her out. I honestly feel guilty about planning all of that.

Arriving at the city park there was Elsa waiting, we met her and joined her. It seemed that Dimas was getting suspicious, he asked me where I knew Elsa from. I answered while watching a basketball game. Not so long ago I asked permission to go to the toilet and asked Dimas to stay with Elsa. Looking from afar Elsa was so happy, she did not stop smiling. Then I went home leaving them both and had no idea what happened next.

The next day at school I met Dimas. He seems to be mad at me, probably because I set him up last night. I tried to talk to him but he avoided. Then I came to see Elsa I thought she could explain what happened.

“Dimas was angry and asked me not to bother you anymore,” Elsa said with a sad face.

“Sorry, didn't work out huh?” I said sorry, I felt bad for making Dimas hate him even more.

“Hmmm how about we try one more time, I'll take Dimas lunch in the cafeteria with friends, later you come and I ask you to join the others, I'll ask you to join, to make it look more natural than yesterday,” I tried to offer another alternative and Elsa agreed.

As usual me and the kriwul gang also Abas, Dimas and Rendi had lunch together in the school cafeteria. As planned, Elsa came over and I called her to join.

My friends seem to dislike Elsa because Ayu once told me about Elsa's attitude. Dimas stood up and took Abas away. I tried to prevent him and told him to sit back but he got angry instead.

“Enough Ka, no more matchmaking events!” dimas snapped with an angry face, only then did I see him angry at me. I think my friends also just saw Dimas angry.

“No need yes already, no need to use rough!” I replied as I got up from where I was sitting back yelling at him.

Dimas was just silent with a look like holding back anger then he left the canteen and was followed by Abas. Realizing that the people around me were looking at me Aura pulled up my uniform skirt to tell me to sit down.

“You are okay, I know if it will finally be like that, sorry to trouble you,” Elsa said as she stood up from where she sat

“Sorry to be more messy,” said I feel guilty

“No, since the beginning Dimas did not want to be with me, thank you for being very good with me, I was embarrassed to have been rude with you, sorry for that time, I was happy to know you, I was happy to know you,” says Elsa sincerely

“I'm also happy to know you,” said I let go of Elsa.

If you know her, Elsa is not a bad person. Maybe he was indeed a temperament but actually his heart was soft. He looked very sad that day.

“What the fuck is Ka? Isn't he mean to you?” ask Ayu who is wondering why I want to help Elsa

“He didn't mean it that way,” I said as I continued to look at Elsa's back that was getting further away
