SEVENTEEN LINE
Gathering-6
Aldo
Where is this? Didn't he just say he'd meet me again at recess? Yaudah deh, mending I take care of this permit only first.
“Do, I have met Sisil, he has signed our permission letter”, Wella suddenly came directly nyerocos aja nih. The kids are always like gini.
“Do? This is it, a while you are, who called us to the classes”, Wella gave me a license that was previously in his hands.
“Who are the members wel?”
“Ya, the one you said last night. But I added 3 more people”
“Oh, yaudah if so. I am fine fine aja”
“I'll go with Artha both. Artha brought a bike today. You're the same Aini, right? Didit said he also brought a kok” motorbike
“I bring a car, you don't want to be with me?”
“No need to deh”, I nod to Wella and leave her.
Ehh. wait a minute. Didn't I still crave Aini, huh? Ahh, the time is quiet in the car? Ahh, if I bring a motor with Aini no problem. But, right, this is me taking the car? Yahhh, will give again like this.

Okay, now the bell sounds. And I ran to my class to pick up my bag and take Didit away.
“Dit, finish your things. We go now”, I'm half-bribbling Didit.
“OK bro”, Didit replied steadily and straightly tidied up his stuff.
Excuse me for the teacher who will be in my class. And call all the members who will go watch the Basketball tournament. After all the members gathered in the school field I also recorded all the members who would leave. Suddenly I heard Aini talking to Didit.
“Dit, I went with you only ya”, he said.
“Loh? Aldo how dong?”
“Aldo not fun Dit”
And this time I can't keep quiet, when will I go alone? It's so scary driving a car alone. I came and rattled Aini's curly hair.
“So now you have the heart of me alone nih?”
Aini remained silent and looked maniacal. Gilak, am I really alone? Ohh no!
“Udah deh ni, you are the same Aldo aja gih”, Didit said the same Aini.
“But Dit...”, I cut Aini's conversation.
“So dong ni, shouldn't I be the one who is angry with you? Hm...”
This time I pulled Aini's hand. Replace dong. He made me bete. So now he has to take responsibility.
“Hm, yes look..”.
I pinched his nose until it became red. Aini just laughed. Yeah that's the laugh I want, the laugh came off Aini.
“Tumben bring the car Do?”, Ask Aini to me.
“Aini..”, I said slowly.
“Hm..”
“Sorry yes”
“What Do?”, Aini looked at me confusedly.
“Iya.. Sorry”
“Sorry for what?”
“Appointment overnight”
“Hm, not entirely your fault anyway.. I know, you must have tried to make Happy Happy this morning, right? But yes, I understand.”
“Tau what? I was so happy this morning. What else when I know Papa gave me this gift this morning”
“Kado? Wow, dong Do” story, he said excited.
“This car from Papa ni”
“That's right, Papa you care about you know Do. We are the only ones who have not felt that Papa you care about you”
I was silent, not knowing what to comment. Maybe Aini has a point too. Maybe Papa was too busy to meet me in person.
“Do.. someone wants me to say to you”.
I looked at him and tried to listen to what he said.
“Night I got a strange gift Do..”, Can I listen to Aini's voice a little stifled when telling it.
“I got a letter from People, his name is Yoga. You have a theme called Yoga does not Do?”, I think and I remember all the names of my friends. There is no such thing as Yoga.
“No. What's the content of the letter? He wants to fuck you up or what? You just calm down, if he wants to harm you. He won't be able to, I will definitely keep you safe, I said trying to cheer him up.
“No, not that. He likes me Do. But he didn't ask for my reply either. I was just curious about Do. Who do you think Do?”
“Can I see this letter?”, can I be curious.
“Tomorrow I'll show you. You're home, right? Mommy would be happy if you came”, I nodded steadily in front of Aini.
I think I should go to Aini's house tomorrow. I also miss Mama's cooking, at least in Aini's house I can eat Mother Aini's cooking. I haven't played at Aini's house in a long time. Mama used to take me to the house, even Mama also once told me that I should take care of Aini like I take care of Mama. Hm, maybe I've failed to take care of Mama. But I promise myself that I will never fail to take care of Aini.
