The typical iPhone call tone goes off for 15 seconds. Then picked up by someone.

" Yes, yeah,

" I picked up the right fifteen.

"Yeah, let me know, but I..

"It's okay, right?,

"Yes, don't know. That's why I asked permission,

"Gue asked my mother for permission,

"Udah let me, anyway I will tell you if allowed, anyway,

"Usaha in lahh, same with Tasya."

.

mother's room

"Mother, ask permission to play a little..."

Deksa carrying a caramel brown Charles & Keith sling bag on his left hand, while his right hand was busy reaching for his mother's arm who was busy tidying the clothes scattered on the mattress.

"Where else, sa.... who is the same,?"

"Kophiashop Pattimura street, same cement-bu, but from home, I'm Anton's nebeng.  Can't you..?"

Mother glanced at Deksa, frowning.

" Don't Anton's house go in the opposite direction to ours,?"

"That's ma'am, last night Anton helped Hari put up the bike's cane, kept all the stay. So, he took me in".", replied Deksa.

"Oooh, so it looks. Then, at what time?", asked the mother, continuing to fold the black shirt.

"Saah salat isya', sama njenguk Tasya, he is sick ma'am." said Deksa.

"Well, what's the pain Tasya has? That's why I rarely go home, yeah,,"

"Bloody fever mom, but still not severe.high heat symptoms are the same as dehydration mom, do not want to eat anyway,"

" Yes, be careful when you go home. Oh yeah, that means Anton's drive home, is it you?"

Deksa laughed softly.

"Hehe, yes ma'am.. "

" Yaudah, be careful. Don't come home late."

"Iyaa siaapp" replied Deksa after kissing the back of his mother's hand.

"Grengggrad.....Tinnntinn..."

Deksa ran a little to the front of the house. He approached Anton, who was standing next to his bike.

"Where, mom?"

" In, it's busy. Let's go"

"Jude, come on"

(Shade Song Umbrella )

... ra ra ra ra ra.....,

" I want to walk with you

  in the rain and dark night

  but I can't

  look at your eyes, "

  

A piece of lyrics indie band song breezed between the grains of rain that fell to the throne. Warm, as a companion song meeting rain and earth. Grain by grain of water, gently tasting the lips of the ground, then immediately melted themselves into it, permeating the value of creation. The air molecule becomes the rest of the breath of rain that collides, evaporates and blends with the breath of the consumers of God's grace. Then, return yourself to his destiny, the earth.

On the corner bench near the window of Kophiashop, Deksa's left hand rubbed the body of a hot cappuccino cup studded with grated chocolate, because he felt a little cold, while Deksa's right hand was on his head under the table.  His feet crammed Anton's feet on his right.

"What's wrong?" asked Anton.

Deksa beckoned by blinking her eyes. He shook his head, and then he hit Anton's thigh.

Anton turned his gaze to Deksa's right hand. A slight blue spark of light burst out from behind his clenched hand. Then, Anton opened Deksa's fist, then grabbed it.

Deksa. When his hand was held by Anton, there was something immediately attracting the cold in his body. The warm hands that Anton was holding, creeping along with his blood flow, were a little heavy as his blood reached the heart, making his heart beat faster.

Deksa looked at Anton's grasp, then turned to Anton's face. His gaze crossed with Anton's. Both were frozen for a moment. But, both hands were still clutching each other.

" You two go to Tasya's house?"

Via's question breaks Anton and Deksa's ice.

"Eh, yes, so Vi.. You come along right?", replied Deksa.

Deksa tried to let go of his grasp, but was increasingly held tightly by Anton. Deksa frowned at Anton, sending his request code.  Anton only replied by blinking his eyes, and continued to hold Deksa's right hand.

"Eh, cellular miscall from mamah" says Via

"What's up, mamahmu miscall cellular tumben? I was told to go home, huh?", asked Anton

Beep, beeps.

Via message tone reads. Via opened it immediately.

" I'm not so come, this is in whatsapp mamah, adek ask to be escorted to his tutoring. How about, I just say hello yes.sorry bangeet there are still orders from parents" said Via while tidying up his papernote scattered on the table.

Four-year-old group work, but only three people were present because the other member had to wait for the store at his house because his parents were not at home.

Via got out of his seat, grabbed his laptop bag, and met Anton and Deksa. Via walking seemed rushed, because there was a missall notification twice from his mama number. Via breezes out the cafe door, leaving Anton and Deksa both.

Deksa pulled his hand from Anton's no longer tight grip. His hands were no longer splashing blue light. Then he drank his cappuccino which was gradually cold.

" So, how? Do I have to look for the locket so that I don't depend on you when it rains like this?", asked Deksa.

Anton turned his gaze towards Deksa, then turned his seat towards Deksa.

"Now you believe, right.the seal in the hand was activated, meaning the locket had already fallen into the wrong hands. You must find it and return it to its original place. And as long as you haven't been able to control the seal, I'll always be beside you, muffled emotionally you've got" Anton replied.

" But why should you dampen my emotions? Why not someone else? Or one of my family, for example?"

"Because I am the earth to you. Water needs a place where it can drown itself. When the water discharge cannot be stable, he will wash away and drown whatever is in front of him. But, all this time the earth still has land and trees for water to boil down and melt emotions."

"Then, you will always be the earth for me to boil down to, is that it? You what the hell? What about what? You are so......"

Not finished Deksa threw the question, Anton keburu took a piece of chicken in front of him, then feed it to Deksa.

"Slow down if you eat. if you want to know also slowly. It's more graceful to say it slowly, gently, not to kayak nyerocos earlier," Anton said as he chocolated the dimsum he took with chopsticks into the sauce.

Deksa. His lips came forward. His forehead wiggling. His hand picked up the cappucino, and then shaved it off.

Anton continued on.

" The point is, if there's anything in you, I have to be the first person you tell, ask for help, and I'll always be ready, whenever you do."

Dexterity choked from his drink. He put the cup back on the table. His hand was held by Anton's. Both eyes back together.

"My hands are no longer, ton.."

"Yes, I know,"

"Tons.."

"Gue can't stand it, here it feels like it's going to explode" Anton said as he held his field chest.

Deksa spread a look across the expression on Anton's face. Until he stopped on both his eyes.

" I like you, too,"

Deksa pulled his hand, then crossed his hands on his stomach.

" Kidding me yes, don't miss a ton.."

" From the eleventh grade of the 2nd semester, when you compress my arm that sprained right to fall iron goal ball, the goal ball, then often met in the library and you are very welcome with my thoughts and do not hesitate to criticize me without looking physical. And until now, I can't stand this nyimpen alone, sa.."

Deksa looked down, he who always liked to catch Anton's gaze, suddenly collapsed and was unable to say a word. Deksa was silent with the atmosphere outside that was back drizzling. From behind the glass, the air condensed, the view of the pine trees outside looked blurry.

Anton pulls the two hands of Deksa who is now clenched. He opened the fist, and then he held it. He brought it to his point.

" Sa, look at me,"

Deksa looked up slightly, finding a pair of light yet shady eyeballs. As if trying to convince himself that the owner of the pair of eyes always want to protect him.

" Give me time, ton.. "

Deksa pulled his hand back from Anton's grasp, without drawing his gaze which had already circled Anton's mind.

Anton nodded, concluding a small smile. Then he patted Deksa's shoulder three times. He turned his seat back to the table.

Deksa smiled at Anton's slightly disappointed behavior. Then he looked at his digital watch, which read 17:20.

" Ton, let's go out look for the mosque, run out it went to Tasya's house." said Deksa.

"Yeah, come.. "

The two sauntered from the door of the cafe, leaving the air recording their tracks.

.

Tasya House, 18:41

" A lot, Dehh Deksa's habit.."

" It's from mom, Ta.. Ibu Kesel, this year you rarely play at home, rarely any news, uh once you know the news, you are sick..  "

"Ehehe, I'm busy helping my bundle of sa chips, so it's not perfect to stop by my mother's house. If I'm healed and not so busy, I play to the house anyway.."

Deksa and Tasya laughed a little, while talking about the management of the organization that is increasingly complicated because of the merger of one leader.

Suddenly, Tasya interrupted.

"Your father, you must be relieved by tons..."

Deksa looked at Anton. Anton grimaced back.

" hahahaha..alahlah. later also melt the heart of Deksa for you ton.", ledek Tasya.

"uhh, what the hell is Tasya. You must eat a lot of fruit anyway, cepet healed, let us also play together.", replied Deksa.

" Continue, you two are out of here, want to date?", ledek Tasya again.

" whatan ngedate everything. After coming home from here, you can't be late to go home with mom. This is already allowed to go home a little night already grateful for a lot of me, yes",

Anton glanced at Deksa. Then shook Tasya's hand.

" already yes, yes, I want to go home first. keburu azan isya'. "

"eh, we will go home isya', ton. arentar first .. all the people praying at Tasya's house.", telak Deksa.

Anton blinks at Tasya. Tasya replied with a small smile, a sign that Tasya understood Anton's intentions.

" come home, quickly. I want to continue to rest.there..quickly..",

" i.e., you're a traitor, you can conspire with this man" Deksa replied upsetly as she pinched Anton's arm.

Anton just smiled at the behavior of two people in front of him who began to speak more.

On the sidewalk, Anton should turn left to get to Deksa's house. But Anton turned in the opposite direction.

"ehh, my house is in that direction" said Deksa, pointing at the left arrow.

"to my house first, in my mother's cariin", Anton said.

" Jen......!"
