“I think that Brother is actually smart, maybe because of lazy academic value Brother dropped drastically. Try from now on you regularly study every night, read textbooks, do practice questions, I'm sure definitely ..”.

Dipta is no longer focused on listening to Claudia's words. His brain since then could not be invited to compromise and instead think about what Tirta said while in the school cafeteria.

Why did the Creator even think about it, huh? Is it because Dipta still has a debt that he has not settled? Why should the Creator be dizzy caring about all that? After all, the person concerned also often does not know themselves. So why would Dipta bother apologizing?

“Well, this matter is also actually already out in tenth grade, sister. If you still remember basically Brother can solve this problem.” Claudia spoke while pointing at one of the matters in the package book.

Currently Claudia is accompanying Dipta learning, explaining material that is not Created to understand. Although Claudia was the younger sister of Dipta's class, but the problem that Dipta showed was quite easy and he could solve it just by understanding the basics.

Claudia has a smart brain and is very quick to absorb lessons. It would not be wrong if Dipta chose Claudia to be his study companion.

“Try Sister finish first. Later if it is finished I check really not,” said Claudia did not get any response from her upperclassman. The master even daydreamed while playing a ballpoint pen on his chin.

“Kak? Brother Dipta.” Claudia called.

“Hah?” He was finally out of his world of dreams. “Why?”

“Kak Dipta from earlier did not understand my explanation, yes?” ask Claudia.

“Denger. What do I need to do?” The guy tried to focus and push Aeli's face away from his brain.

“Ngapain you think of him anyway, Dip? Not important.”

Claudia smiled faintly, pointing at the matter to be created. A few minutes passed Dipta was still focused on the matter despite having to rotate the brain hard because it was not too listening to Claudia's explanation.

But after a few seconds, Dipta's focus immediately collapsed to see Aeli appear in the school cafeteria with Clara. The two girls seemed to be joking lightly and Dipta failed to turn her gaze away from Aeli who looked very sweet when laughing. Cih, it could be that the girl's face is changing like a chameleon.

“Kak Dipta again see who?” Claudia's voice took over. Dipta turned to Claudia who was now looking at him in confusion.

“Nobody,” says. Continuing previous activities.

Claudia who was curious then turned to look at Dipta and found the figures of Aeli and Clara there. A thin wrinkle appeared on Claudia's forehead. Is it possible that Dipta saw his half-brother? But, why?

Choosing to ignore, Claudia again highlighted Dipta who looks focused. The corner of Claudia's lips was interested in forming a smile. He always liked to look at that handsome face and hopefully he can continue to look at the Creata even longer.

“Do not let this time pass quickly, Lord.”

•••

Aeli could not help but smile during the exchange of messages with Sky. His heart felt flowery, Sky's simple reply and plain impression made him want to roll to the ground. It's so jolly!

Aeli raised his head, his smile widened to find Sky who was also staring at him from across the street. And a sweet smile. How did Aeli not try?

Clara who had since noticed Aeli's behavior could only shake. It was not clear why Aeli and Sky had to exchange messages while their positions were only three tables away.

Lack of work, said Clara.

By the way at this table there's cousin Clara too. I don't know if there is a wind what a chatty leak was suddenly joined by Aeli and his cousin's sister. Usually also mojok alone while observing Flourst ketos.

“Kak Aeli sama sak Sky getting closer huh kaya? How easy is it, anyway?” cerocos Tiffany's. His tone sounded unacceptable.

“Easy is the person Aeli ngegas mulu rich sepur.” Clara.

“Ih, I have been hustling constantly not dapet-dapet?”

“Sky is not interested in lo, Cil.”

“Sama kak Aeli is interested in it?”

“According to you aja.” Clara swiped her Instagram page while sipping apple juice.

“I fought my dear Aeli.” Tiffany pouting. Fixing the round glasses.

“Gue also struggled, Nyet.” Aeli snuck not relaxed.

“But my struggle is bigger.”

“Still great love me.”

“My struggle is unlimited.”

“Love me infinite.”

“Whispering woi!” exclara exclaimed in frustration. His head was about to break hearing their impromptu debate.

Facing Aeli alone Clara was going crazy, this even plus Tiffany. It's not getting crazy. Where both bulol Sky anyway. Dude, fellas.

“Sepupu lo I'm sincere not, Clar?” ask Aeli. Tiffany standby one.

“Shop aja.”

“Kak Aeli don't macem-macem. My mom is fierce,” says Tiffany songong.

Aeli sneered, then replied to Sky's message and smiled again. This guy is crazy, Tiffany thought.

“What if it fit into his birthday brother Rinda I ngajak brother Sky, huh? So want to pdkt again deh.”

Tiffany's words made Aeli glare at horror. Being stared at only put on an innocent look.

“Try if you dare.”

Tiffany did not see Aeli's response. No real horror really. But he was satisfied to make Aeli bete. When else can jahilin queen bully Flourst. Wkwk.

“Lo invited too, Tif?” ask Clara.

“Invited lah. Rinda's brother knows me.”

“Introduction of lots of buslets. When to know him?”

“Ne-know.”

Clara probes. “You take who? The sky? Die first lo.”

“Actual identifier, but—”

“Dead pen?” aeli sela. Tiffany looked surprised. Just make this Aeli hang.

“Take caretaker Sky woi! But not brave. Fear dipites Sister Aeli.” The girl nodded. “So want to wilt aja mas ketos, who knows luluh, kan.”

“Good luck.” Aeli and Clara said simultaneously while gently patting Tiffany's shoulder.

Not that his spirit is even inferior. Sorrow is he who gives the spirit is weak, tired, lethargic, lackluster, lethargic, tired?

Aeli is actually still cradling in the heart. Confused how to take Sky to be his partner at Rinda's birthday party. Aeli was embarrassed, afraid also that suddenly Sky rejected him. Although Sky always accepted his invitation, still Aeli's little heart was worried. The feeling of inferiority must be there even a little.

“Lo hasn't stepped on Sky, Li?” Clara asked. Replied by Aeli.

“Shame,” reply Aeli while positioning hands on both cheeks.

“Dih.”

“Sorry very much but I think that all this time Aeli has no shame.” Tiffany said it as if she were. If Aeli doesn't remember this human cousin Clara may have been trampled flat.

“Emang should really yes I ngajak first?” Aeli asked.

“Ngak. Just wait for him to take it first. If not invited yes accept fate.”

“It sounds a bit impossible that's right Sky ngajak first.”

“Why impossible?”

“Yes proof later. I'm no comment.” Tiffany's head was immediately challenged by Clara.

“Lo style, Cil. No comment all. But really he said, just look at it later Sky will ngajak lo what not.”

Aeli's face turned moody. All kinds of negative thoughts stuck in his brain. If Aeli did not suddenly have this shame, maybe he had directly invited Sky without further ado. Damn it, Aeli's shame should not appear at a time like this.

“If there is no initiative from Sky, follow my advice yesterday,” whispered Clara and Aeli immediately understood what the girl meant.

One name flashed impolitely in his brain. Who else if not Dipta Prahardja.

•••

Aeli who just got to the parking lot was surprised to see the figure of Dipta right next to his car. The girl shriveled deeply, wondering what the Creator was doing there. The next second Aeli continued his steps and stopped in front of the guy with a probing look.

“Ngapain lo?” ketus Aeli's.

Dipta who had been leaning on Aeli's car removed the sunglasses perched at the base of the nose and then highlighted Aeli stickily. The not-so-groomed uniform and one hand in the pants pocket made the guy look very handsome. For whatever sake, Dipta is truly enchanting now.

One corner of Dipta's lips lifted, he still did not say anything but was busy watching Aeli's jutek face. Being stared at now let out a long sigh, fed up.

“Soaring. I want to enter.”

The Creator did not listen to that command.

“Soide I said. Gausah is looking for. I'm not in the mood.”

“Gue no longer want to find because.” The body finally opened its mouth.

“Continue? Want to hit me because jutekin chick lo?”

Dipta did not reply, he took a few steps forward and stopped when he got right in front of Aeli. Because Dipta was quite high, Aeli was forced to look up so that he could see the guy's annoying face.

“So my partner at Rinda's birthday show.”

The sentence slid out without burden and certainly managed to make Aeli's beautiful eyes patterned. The shockwave dominated instantly.

“What do you say?”

“So my partner, budek.”

“Kobam lo, yes?”

Not caring about the words of Dipta just now, Aeli walked past the guy to immediately approach his car. But his steps stopped because Dipta suddenly held his wrist. Aeli was quite surprised, his heart was racing with his entire body suddenly cooling down.

“Gue also wants to apologize about my attitude so far. I was wrong because I often look for the same problem lo.” Dipta. Highlighting Aeli who was not looking at him at all.

Aeli took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to hold back the anger when Dipta touched him so as not to explode suddenly here. His hands clenched firmly and it was possible that the Creator realized what his body was now.

“Gue does not apologize from anyone. Freelance.”

Dipta sighed softly, stopping in front of Aeli in order to see that face. “Gue seriously.”

“Gue don't have time to apologize!” Aeli wanted to remove Dipta's hand from his hand, but failed because Dipta was still holding back.

“Sorry or be my partner.”

“Please or I shout.” Aeli replied flatly. He was really uncomfortable with the guy's touch.

“Means to be my partner.” Dipta let go of the cheque in Aeli's hand just like that. Aeli closed his eyes for a moment before replying.

“Totally kobam nih people.”

Hurry him into the car and immediately take the car away from the parking area. He shuddered in horror because of the strange attitude of Dipta just now. Been forgiven, maksa made him a couple anyway. That guy's touch, ah shit. Looks like Aeli should take a flower bath as soon as possible.

•••

Aeli ran into the house after parking her car in the garage. Fear and anxiety because of the behavior of the Creator was still haunting him and Aeli should clean up as soon as possible. He was uncomfortable with the feeling.

Aeli thought her fear of coming into contact with others was gone because the moment Sky touched her all this time, Aeli did not feel anxious or cold hot at all. Turns out he was wrong, the fucking feeling is still there.

His steps stopped suddenly hearing the sound of coughing from the direction of his parents' room. Aeli who was curious peered at the door that was not tightly closed was involuntarily. His eyes caught the figure of Mahesa who was lying weakly on the bed.

Is that guy sick? Since when? The feeling this morning was still fine at the dinner table.

Worried, Aeli ventured to open the door and enter. Mahesa was a little surprised to see the figure of her son.

“Pa ... Papa sick?” ask Aeli carefully. Really, he simply did not want to provoke a commotion right now.

“What do you need?” Mahesa asked back. Usually Aeli only goes to him if he needs something.

Then Aeli approached, gulped while expelling his nervousness away. No matter how Mahesa treated him all this time, Aeli still could not bear to see his father was in pain.

“Papa have taken medicine yet?”

There was a pause for a while before Mahesa decided to answer. “Already.”

Aeli sighed softly, Mahesa's tone remained flat and cold as usual.

“Why didn't Papa go to the hospital, Pa? I'll call Mr. Wino for the car ready, okay? Papa's power should—”

“Not necessary.”

Since Aeli returned from Clara's house, Mahesa never once intended to greet or reprimand her. The man was just silent and looked reluctant to look at Aeli. If I can be honest, Mahesa's attitude like that is more painful for Aeli.

For whatever sake Aeli was more willing to be scolded or scolded than to be silenced like this. For a moment he felt completely unregarded by Mahesa. Or maybe it is?

“Oudah. I'm out first. If Papa needs anything call me, yeah?”

Mahesa did not answer, not even looking at her. Aeli instantly realized her words just now. For what reason did he bother to offer help, while Ashila would definitely always be there for her papa. So stupid.

Mahesa sighed softly after Aeli's departure. His eyes stared at the closed door. Little did she expect Aeli would notice her. Mahesa thought that her son really did not care anymore about his condition.

•••

Today Aeli ventured to take Sky with him to go to the bookstore. Actually Aeli can go alone, only he wants to spend time alone with Sky at once.

Now Aeli is on the Sky motorbike, smiling while enjoying the morning air before noon which is quite soothing because the weather today is not as bright as usual. Don't forget Aeli's pretty hands on that guy's waist. Even without asking for approval.

At first Aeli only invited Sky, not expecting if Sky even offered to pick him up. Aeli certainly agreed with pleasure. When else can be picked up heart without bothering to whine like a child.

“Sky really no activity at home? I ngajak lo gini, do not bother, right?” aeli cerocos. His chin faithfully rested on Sky's broad shoulders. Highlight the sweet face of the guy from the side. Duh, these guys are like lovers.

“Neg. In fact I am glad you chose me to make your nemenin.”

Aeli stumped a smile. “Gue also seneng lo want me to choose.”

They went back to silence, both busy thinking about what other topics to talk about.

“You—”

“Lo—”

Well, even with that.

“By the way first, Sky,” Aeli said.

“You aja.”

“Lo. I just talked about it by the way.”

Sky was silent for a moment, doubtful in fact. If not now, when else?

“Oudah I first deh.” That quickly Aeli changed his mind.

“Iya. What do you want to say?” Sky responded. Waiting for what sentence Aeli will throw.

“It, lo ... lo ...” Aeli hesitated to continue.

“I?”

“Duh, how do I say, yes?”

Aeli was still silent, digesting the exact sentence inside the brain. The focus is distracted because the Sky bike suddenly stops. Turns them up to the red light.

Feeling no continuation from Aeli, Sky turned his head. Aeli's confused face filled his gaze. Being stared at from this close distance by Sky made Aeli gulp down. That his face could retreat a little bit no hell? The sweetness of kebablasan.

“What do you want to say?” ask Sky. Whether consciously or not his voice made Aeli's heart almost explode.

“Ma-Madep ahead, Sky,” tell Aeli to be nervous and half-successful.

Sky frowned, yet still filled Aeli's words. In that instant, Aeli immediately took a lot of breath while touching the chest. He almost died suddenly on this bike because of Sky.

“The boy was whiny huh, Ma?” Hearing a knock from the motor next to the reflex makes Aeli's head turn. There was a little girl who was looking in wonder at him.

Aeli immediately put on a ferocious face, his eyes glaring deliberately scaring the child. As the child's mother looked at her, a sweet smile was immediately plugged on Aeli's face. A smile is also of course.

“Loh, you why cry?” ask the child's mother. Bafflement.

Instead of answering his cries even louder. Made some riders look in wonder at them. Aeli smiled amusedly. He also prays children.

Three seconds later, the traffic light turned green. Sky immediately ran the motor and Aeli's hands again circled the boy's waist.

“Your work, yes?” ask Sky.

“Craftsmanship? Oh that kid? No tuh.”

“I saw you glaring at the boy.”

Aeli widened in shock. “Please from where?”

“This.” Sky pointed at his spy. Shit, down is Aeli's self-esteem. Mana kresek.

“Nyebelin. Why do you have to look at it?”

“Keliatan.”

Aeli pouting. Fizzy cheeks. Imagining Sky watching her like that, it felt like Aeli wanted to just disappear from the face of the earth.

Seeing Aeli's look from the reflection of the glass, Sky desperately held back a laugh. Just this time the girl's face looked very cute in her eyes.

“Don't laugh,” reprimand Aeli after patting Sky's back slowly.

Sky neutralized the look on his face later. “Nggak.”

So cool with each other's world they both forget the conversation that happened before. Seeing Sky who was not trying to hold back the laughter anymore, Aeli smiled. Back to tighten his embrace on the boy's waist then put his cheek on Sky's back.

“I sweat I'll make you mine.” He mumbled low. Make sure Sky doesn't listen to his words just now.

Aeli did not know if Sky was holding a great vibration in his chest because Aeli's actions were as good as eyed to tighten his embrace. Looks like the girl intentionally wanted Sky to die kagok here.
