The stage is already in the middle of the school yard. There is also a special tent for students to sit in. The seats lined up neatly. The art scene was held today, deliberately not held in the hall. All students can see it. Even if you just sit in front of the class. Just like me, choose to sit and look from a distance. It is not important to see the face of each participant, there are already large speakers that will help make a loudspeaker. So, whoever recites poetry to me is not important, but how the content of the poem itself is. Even though the event was about to start, Munah still urged me to come along.


"Come on Nara, if you don't want to come along already. But we're sitting there." I glanced at him sharply, Mana cares. He still pulls me. And managed to sit in one of the chairs.


"His speech has not yet begun?" Complaints again. Munah pointed towards the stage and smiled. Yes Munah you are now. The show has already started.


"Mune you? Where's the list-"


"Oh yes, ma'am." Munah stood up, covering my sight. I didn't hear Munah and Ms. Irma talking. The atmosphere was already crowded, a word of welcome began to be given. Before the show began. I'm bored, I'm really lazy today. Just to move lazily. If only not threatened will be given a minus value if it is not present today. I'm definitely going on holiday and would prefer a fall in the apartment. There is also no teaching activity.


"It's over?" Munah nodded and sat down next to me. "Since when have you had business with Ms Irma?"


"Since today, haha. No, I was just given a job. Then he asked if he had finished the task he had given him?" I'm mangosteen.


"Eh, it's already started." Very enthusiastic, even though I did not come. "Where are Adam and Wahid?" I turned my head, and showed him where Wahid and Adam were sitting. Sure, Adam was sitting next to Elena. And Wahid, he spread charm among the other female disciples.


Elena, ah I was reminded of last night. Elena praised me many times about the poem I made last night. He asked for my phone number to Adam. And he also said he was very worried about me when I just left. Fortunately, I have a good reason. Otherwise, it might be until the morning I serve Adam's girlfriend, the father of the fetus that I carry today.


Not to mention, about Elena who keeps asking about Adam. Then she expressed her great love in a short message, but she spoke to me not Adam.


"Sister, you know Adam's brother always told me about brother. He also said big sister is strong, hehe. I want to be like a sister." I don't know myself when I read that message. I'm happy, but Elena's honest or not I don't know.


"Adam is always worried about you."


Geez, why am I so upset about that. The impression was that Elena was praising Adam in front of me, and set me up. Elena is his girlfriend.


"Nara, you wait here. Don't go anywhere, wait till I get back."


"Hey, where are you going?"


"To the bathroom, for a second." Heh, yes Munah.


A few minutes I waited, Munah never came back. I just want to go back to class. Sitting alone is calmer than sitting here. Lots, but I'm alone. I immediately round my eyes when I heard the MC calling Munah's name. Maemalah! What's he doing now? It's impossible if he's in this race, right? You are so stupid to make poetry. Not that I meant to pick him up. But, that's true.


"Munah will recite her poem titled disheartened." Huh huh? Munna!! And maemunah!! He tapped on the microphone with a finger, when it was clearly on.


"Sorry before, this is just a poem by my friend. And he didn't want to come, so I'm the one representing." With no shame Munah said that. "Gundah, by Kinara Adnan Husein." All eyes were staring at me, what else was clearly knowing that I was sitting among them. I'm not proud, I'm ashamed. I stood up and immediately took a thousand steps, leaving from the crowd under the tent. And get into class.


I no longer heard what Munah read, because I already knew the content of the poem. What I asked, where did Munah get that poem from??


I put the bag on the table. Make it a pedestal for my head that I dropped on the table. I should be proud, but what do other students and especially teachers think? I would say that I was too arrogant to just acknowledge my work.


"Eh what is this?" I felt again in the drawer. Then sit up straight, to see what I'm holding.


"Brown?" I looked around the class. Wuses.. Only and the wind passed from the front, which turned out the fan was on. This time not one, but two. Is this a double bonus because it was a school holiday last night?


I opened it right away, because I was sure chocolate could make the mood better. Besides being sweet, chocolate is also my favorite color.


"Nara?" I looked up, originally putting my head on the table while chewing chocolate.


"Adam?" I sat down, my body why now suddenly limp.


"You're okay, right? Why is your face so pale?" I felt my own face, like I didn't. It's just me who seems like a mager and lazy to do something. Like being hungry but not wanting to eat, even though the food was already beside me.


"No, I'm fine. Why are you here?" I feel this position is very comfortable, put my head on the table.


"You were also very strange last night, suddenly nausea and vomiting. Then just go home. You ill? You shouldn't have forced yourself to come last night. Look, now even you still feel it, right?" Adam was sitting next to me, where Munah sat every day.


"No, that's it."


"That was really your poem?" I'm nodding. "From the content, it seems that when you write it there is something that makes your heart and mind shaken?"


"You want to be a fortune teller?" Adam laughed instead. "Here, you must have left Elena, right?" Adam did not answer. "Here, I don't want Elena to think I took you away from her."


"He took me from you." Huh huh? I sat in a normal position and looked at him.


"What are you talking about?" I blamed him by pointing at his face.


"Ah no." Throw his eyes off me. "You eat chocolate?" I'm nodding.


"You want to?" Adam was silent and smiling. "This?" I broke the chocolate, and thrust it towards him. Sorry yes, if I had to give him another chocolate, I would not be willing. Meksi I don't know at all who deliberately put chocolate here every day.


"Ak-" Adam put the chocolate bar I gave him into my mouth.


"Adam!" He laughed, looking at me without blinking.


"I'll give it to you."


"Don't you think I don't know, if you're actually not willing to give it to me even if it's just a little."


"Where do you know?" Chew again, talk while chewing.


"From your eyes." Ha's? This time I stopped chewing for a bit. I don't understand what Adam said.


"Yes, your gaze is still the same as yesterday, when you gave me the chocolate. Didn't you tell me yesterday that you weren't willing to share it?" I laughed immediately. That's right, it makes sense. Adam was smart to conclude something. I just realized it now.


"Now tell me why did you leave when you found out that Munah was in the race with a poem of your work?" I'm down.


"Adam, are you also going to judge me as I feel right now?"


"It's not so, not because of trivial things you even become quarreling with Munah. He's our friend." Hua.. It is true that I should be moved by it. Adam spread out his arms, asking me to embrace him immediately. Geez, I'm comfortable in a position like this. If only my father would stretch his hands for me. Permit me to do everything I like, tell him everything. I want it to feel so bad. Complaining about friends, Hiks. I shed tears, soaking Adam's uniform.


He kept patting me on the shoulder. "It."


"Sister Adam?" Adam and I looked at it. Elena, how is this? My God, how will Elena think of me?


"Sister, why are you crying? Did Adam do it?" I looked at Adam's face, which was not as tense as mine at the moment, he could even still smile as Elena walked closer towards him.


"In addition to being strong, he was also a crybaby. Don't you be like that, huh?" Gently stroked Elena's arm, my God. I feel cornered.


"Elena, sorry. You saw Adam and I hugging."


"Isn't that normal, brother?" He still had a smile??? Is he not jealous?


"The thing a friend used to do. Hugging, embracing when we feel sad. Instead, you can misunderstand if you see me and Adam hugged. Because we are lovers who have a relationship. So, if you do that, people will assume no."


"You're so smart to talk." Elena felt praised by Adam, she smiled again. I was the same kind of person as her, and I felt anxious to see her child-like face.


"Sister taught me that, right?" Adam returned his smile.


Yes, I admit it. Elena could be said to be a perfect girl. Besides being good, he is also understanding. What I used to think, if Adam or Wahid. When you have a lover there will be no time for me and Munah. But I was wrong, so far they even care more about me. Is this also because Adam felt guilty towards me?


"Sister, your phone is ringing." Ah yes, my goodness. I could be drowning in my own thoughts.


"Hallo?"


"Nara? What time are you home?"


"Hem, as usual, Mom."


"Yes, I'll pick you up."


"That's not necessary, ma'am." Well, it's too late for me to turn off the phone.


"Why your mother?" Adam immediately asked when he saw the change in look on my face.


Elena, who still wanted to be here, pulled up another chair and sat down.


"My mom's gonna pick me up, but I'm gonna take the car."


"Yes, you go home with your mother. About the car later I can ask Wahid and Munah for help to deliver to the apartment." My eyes shine. Adam, he was evil for only one night. And good to me every day.


"Not a hassle?" I made sure again.


"Not often?" I laughed a little, right. That's what Adam said.


"So you're sorry?"


"Elena, come?" Two of Elena's friends stood at the classroom door and called out to her.


"Oh yes. Sister Nara, go first. Brother Adam." Adam nodded. "So don't make sister Nara sad." I should've spoken to Elena, don't make you sad. I should have told Adam that.


The sound of Elena's footsteps grew further away, and until it was no longer heard.


"Before, before Elena's friend came."


I remember what I said a few seconds ago.


"Repent?" Adam nodded. "Are you sorry?"


"Yes. I'm really sorry." Adam breathed. "I'm sorry I ruined you."


"Can we talk about anything other than this? Didn't we agree to forget it? And I forgive you?" Adam looked down, looking at his own feet.


"You know, it's not entirely your fault either. It's my fault, too, Dam."


"But somehow, I feel like there's something you're covering up. Every night I've had nightmares."


"That's just your feeling. Even if I'm pregnant, are you sure I can cover it myself?"


"Pregnant? Who's pregnant?" Two lovebirds who would hate to come in, with no sound suddenly cut off my and Adam's conversation. Don't tell me he's heard from the beginning of my conversation with Adam. And enter by pretending not to know.


"Why is my mother pregnant, why?" Mida clapped her hands.


"Wow, amazing. You're gonna have a sister? How does it feel? Already going to graduate school, uh even have a baby sister." I glanced at Adam, he was already staring intently at Mida.


"Not having a brother is like a child thrown away. What else until you have a sister, well you can be scribbled from the family card." Mida laughed with satisfaction. His laughter was so heartbreaking, with his words just now.


"Can't you mess up someone's mind? What if you're in Kinara's position right now?" Mida and Sekar looked at each other and laughed.


"What's? Where could be Adam." Mida smiled mockingly. "No, sorry Kinara. I was just kidding. I came here looking for you just to give you this." Mida put it on the table, thrusting towards me.


"That's a birthday invitation. Tomorrow night I'll have a party, you don't let me not come. Sorry for all my words." I can't believe it yet, something must be wrong. "This is for you, Dam. Don't forget to bring your girlfriend?" Her smile was sweet, changing drastically the first time she entered.


They just passed by, after giving the invitation. I read every single letter written there. Especially my mother, Mida wrote it in full. "Kinara Adnan Hussein."


"You want to come?" I'm still confused, if nodding means isn't it?


"Calm down, there's me and Munah. I can be sure Mida doesn't dare to do anything."


"Yes but I can't promise ya. Sometimes the mood can change at any time."


"I guess because you had an appointment with the others."


"Who? I've never left except with you guys, have I?" Adam shut up for a second.


"Didn't you have a new friend? The man whose picture Munah sent." Hey, why do they like to talk about it anyway.


"No, how could I possibly want to go with someone I just met." I really mean to say that.


"really? What's name?" Adam asked again.


"Satria." I said while playing the phone, also called his name, the message notification from him immediately appeared. "The rest of my life is talking to me." Showing off to Adam.


"Well, why don't you answer?" Adam saw me putting a cell phone in a bag.


"not important. I'm tired of guys asking what? Already eaten? Is she like her parents too? No kan! If men have asked that, surely the edges will ask for more, about feelings especially."


"You've never dated, but why do you feel like you have experience? Which I myself cannot understand." I laughed a little, didn't I? I only speak carelessly. It was just in my opinion, in my view it was like that.


"Nara, do you really not want to feel in love?" I was stunned, what does this mean??


"I'm not interested."


"I can teach you."


"How?"


"You're willing to open your heart, I'll train you from now on."


"Adam it, I told you I'm not interested."


"Nara??" This is the man who made me cry today. Munah immediately ran towards me.


"You made Nara cry today. You should've apologized." Adam blinks his eyes at me. Okay, I'm going to act. If only it was easy for me.


"Nara, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to steal your poem? But you heard that, didn't you, if I said it was your poem? Your work." I was silent, Adam was silent. The more she acted, the more she hugged me from behind. My body felt tight, because his embrace was so tight.


"Nara, all the teachers know. Especially Miss Irma. Before that, I had already talked about this with him. Nara forgive me, hiks. I was presumptuous to have taken it without permission. I just want everyone to know you're good at this Nara. I'm sorry."


"Say how you took it?" Munah took off his embrace, and stood right beside me. I don't want to look at her face that feels really guilty. Maybe my acting failed and I laughed.


"When your bag was left in the car. I accidentally dropped it, then I saw a piece of paper fall off. I took it." I took a breath and threw it away violently.


"Nara, I'm sorry."


"Nara has said that she doesn't want to know you anymore." Hey, why would Adam be the stove.


"Is that really Nara?" I nodded weakly. "Nara, is it necessary to prostrate yourself at your feet so that you will forgive me?" He hugged me back. "Nara, hiks.." She's crying! He cried, I can't stand it anymore. I really want to laugh now.


"OK it's breakeven." Adam said and clapped.


"Impas! Meanin?" He wiped the rest of his tears.


"Yes, you made Nara cry, and now you're crying because of Kinara. Isn't that broken!" I glanced towards Munah.


"What?" When he changed his position to stand in front of me.


"You're fucking me on purpose, aren't you?" Adam and I looked at each other. Then laughed at Munah whose face was flooded with tears. And this time ended with a reciprocated hug, where maybe I could linger angry with him, what else to stay away from him with a trivial thing that means just to make me happy.


Time to go home, I just listen to Munah who babbles all the way, showing off my work that is praised by all students or teachers. But it also doesn't necessarily win. The announcement will be made tomorrow. Because remembering the time is not enough. I'm standing in front of the gate with Munah now. Waiting for mom to come pick me up.


"That's it, isn't it?" He pointed towards the car that had just stopped. I looked back, looking for Adam.


"Wait a minute, it's still too crowded." Munah nodded in agreement.


"Eh, were you invited with Mida?" I nodded, while waiting for us to talk, just let mom wait as well.


"Yes, it was discussed with Adam."


"So you came?" I just shrugged my shoulders. Even though he had said an apology earlier, but his tone was like an understatement.


"Nara?" I looked, finally the one waiting to come.


"That's my mom, come on. You don't want to say hello?" I pulled Adam's hand. Mom opened the car window.


"Nara? Come inside." My gaze shifted to the figure of the woman sitting next to my mother. Very nice of him, every day picked up by mom. Wouldn't it be if you just bought a car that can?


"That's your mother?" Adam whispered in my ear. I'm nodding.


"Mom, this is my friend Adam." I just waved my hand and smiled. Adam also returned his smile and nodded politely.


"Dam, pull the car?" I gave Adam the keys, then got in the car.


"Be careful." Adam waved his hand.


I sat in the back alone. Never mind, I'm tired. I chose to close for a moment, leaning against my body. This time I got my mom home from school. A lifetime, just this time. Can you imagine what that feels like? Yes, although my mother actually picked me up because she also said that they would pick up Laras.


"Sister? There's a show at school, right?" I opened my eyes immediately.


"Yes, the art scene."


"Well, that's exciting. Brother coming?"


"No, my friend is coming. But wearing my work."


"Poetry?" I'm nodding.


"So it's true said mother yes, if you have a hobby once made it. Brother, if I have schoolwork to compose poetry, brother help me." Why so familiar? How could you possibly tell that with Laras. There's a mother who keeps praising Laras in front of me.


Along the way Laras keeps raving, about his mother and friend. And he doesn't hesitate to praise me either. I'm tired of being praised. I need mom's love. It was more than enough to make me excited to live. How would you react if you knew I was pregnant? He will not admit me as a child.


Seriate..
