The Boy Next Window's

This is My Business

It does not deny the shame that is present in my body. It's okay, from the beginning I really wanted to know Aksa's reaction by trying to resist the shame. I wonder how he would react if he knew I really liked him? He is liked by women older than him.

But, that thought was only an instant when Aksa had already started to respond. Unlike my previous reflection, instead of being shocked, Aksa actually laughed as if my sentence was just a joke.

I exhaled unconsciously. My lips pursed on their own after seeing Aksa's reaction.

"Mas Abi is wrong" I looked at Aksa confused. Not understanding the point. "Kata Mas Abi right, the echo resonates so much if it's raging again." What?????

"But I think Gema is really joking. Rich little kids crave because they don't buy ice cream." Continue Aksa.

Suddenly I held my own face and blushed in embarrassment. "I'm a baby face, right, Sa? Rich as my age? Not that old man?"

"No. Why why?"

"Om you tuh. Tell me I'm a rich aunt. Especially if you go the same way again, later he said he thought the aunt of his nephew. Boong is that Sa? I'm not a rich aunt, am I?" Aksa's laughter is breaking.

Both of his hands were stretched up. In the next second, the hand had pinched my two bulging cheeks and blushed because I did not expect Aksa's response to be like this. Holding her cheek the same Aksa made my blood flow pumped very fast. My heart beats rhythmically. My common sense is not thinking straight. Mess everything!

"The rich echoes of a child." Before Aksa took her hand off my cheek. He looked at me for a moment and smiled brightly.

"According to lo.. I'm it?" I asked confirm and answered a nod by Aksa. "Lo is not uncomfortable is the same road older than you?"

"Why should I be worried?"

"Once again."

"Absolutely not. I'm on the same road Echoes."

I exhaled a sigh of relief as well as delight. "So for example, you have a partner who is older than you how?"

This time Aksa did not answer. His smile slowly disappeared. I bit my lower lip. I think I've been talking wrongly. When the next second Aksa pulled the corner of her lips up, I regained my relief.

"You know, I like it and feel it fits. No problem at all. Age does not guarantee the maturity of a person. Example Echoes. Walopun Gema is older than me. Sometimes I feel the rich echo of my sister. But, sometimes the Echoes can also be very mature. Not rich brother anymore. Rich Mama instead," Aksa paused for a moment.

"Away from Mama sometimes like to make kangen. Well, the presence of Echoes can be a little ngobatin kangen taste it."

So, hows? Am I like her mother?

"Tock.. I feel like I sometimes get really old.."

Aksa chuckles. "Udah. No need to think about Mas Abi's words. He likes to joke. Nothing wrong with echo."

Including if I love you? Not wrong, is it?

The question was just down my throat without me being able to get out. I choose not to continue this conversation again.

I sighed softly. "Judek. There gih, Sa. Back to the room."

Aksa's forehead is wrinkled. "Kok Gema so lemes it. Why?"

"No papa."

"The echo is still the same sentence Mas Abi?"

How is Abi, Sa? I think the same answer you are floating! I'm hanging, don't you know? Tired, Sa, code continues. But, the lonya the plates! Must use any other way so you realize that I'm not just kidding?

I took a deep breath and shook my head slowly."Naw. That's not. It's in there. I also want to go into the room. Bye, Sa!"

That I'm really blatantly telling you about my feelings. Does he still think I'm joking?

I was focused on doing my revision accompanied by a cup of hot chocolate and accompanied by a row of charts that were my favorite. Tomorrow I'll go to my guidance counselor. Yesterday's appointment at 8am on campus. I don't know what time it will be.

The door knock stopped my activity for a moment. It turned out that Mr. Mukin was knocking on the room door.

"Here, Ma'am, there's a hatch." Mr. Mukin gave me a plastic package.

I cringed while accepting it. "From who?"

"That's a lot from Mas Aksa—who likes to be with Mbak Gema."

"Huh? What's he, sir?" I asked like person *****. "Yaudah, thank you, Mr. Mukin."

I opened the plastic package, which turned out to contain two pieces of ice cream. My eyes blinked for a moment. Didn't expect this from Aksa. A feeling of pleasure again enveloped my body.

When I was about to send a message to Aksa to say thank you. A message from Aksa first entered my phone.

From: Aksa Mailop

The ice cream was eaten.

The one put in the refrigerator first let it not melt

I typed a reply message for Aksa.

To: Aksa Mailop

Maaci's ice cream. He he so I'm a rich kid?

From: Aksa Mailop

Ja. Abis Gema is rich again bad mood.

Hopefully the ice cream makes the echo not bad mood lg ya

I glanced at my laptop with a pile of papers and books strewn across the bed. My stress was reduced and I smiled happily.

To: Aksa Mailop

Not in the mood anymore! Doain yes bsk want to do dosbing again

From: Aksa Mailop

Anyway all the best for Echoes, I doain.

The last message from Aksa made my spirit of sales to work on the revision increase many times over. As he said, one ice cream I kept in the refrigerator and the other I ate while accompanying me to do the revision.

"Life is great if I feel rich every day." I muttered while smiling to myself.

--

"Pretty good." After checking my revisian. Finally my supervisor commented.

"So, can you go straight to chapter 3, sir?" My eyes sure sparkle.

"Can start getting repaid. Chapter 3 is the hardest. Because there's really a thesis." Yeh, the Father.

"But, there's still something to revise. The day after tomorrow, you see me again."

I exhaled between relief and worry. Just given time until the day after tomorrow. I saw the papers in my hand. Not as much as the first time.

"Excite, Gem!!!" I try to encourage myself.

Returning home from tutoring, I've already promised to meet Vio and Keyna at a regular cafe. I should have been there 15 minutes ago. But, because I had to wait for the lecturer first even though his guidance was not very long, I was still on the road. The roads today are also quite crowded. So I have to be satisfied to walk with a maximum speed of 40 km/h.

"Maap late, the streets are jammed and my lecturer was late" he said." Sapaku when approaching my two best friends.

"Where is your thesis?" Ask Vio.

"Consider chapter 3. But, there is still something to be revised chapter 2. The day after tomorrow is told to make another move."

"Strap the gangs." Keyna.

"Dead me!!!!" I turned to look at my two best friends.

"Why lo?" Vio looked at me confused to see my face change.

"Itu—" my throat choked.

"What the hell?!"

I shiver my lower lip. My heart is somehow pounding so fast. "A-Abi—ada Abi." I lowered my voice volume drastically. Vio and Keyna probably heard it just like a whisper. I don't know, my brain isn't working so well.

"Huh?! Where???? Where???" Keyna was the most excited. His eyes wandered all over the corner of the cafe in search of Abi's figure.

"Which one is it, Gem???" Vio follows the view of Keyna who is looking for the figure of Abi. I quietly glanced at the place where I first found Abi. Knowing that Abi was out of place, I almost jumped in joy before it was all destroyed by a voice that greeted me.

"Eh, Echoes? See you here again?" Abi could not help his smile as he said that.

"Oww.. This is Abi." Vio glanced at me and held back his laughter looking at my straight face.

"Well, Echoes never tell me about you guys?" Ask pede.

"Ye, what the fuck! Ge er lo!"

"Gue really, right?"

"Yes!!! Echoes of stories about lo!!!" Sahut Keyna. "aww.. What the hell, Gem?" Keyna grimaced as I pinched her thighs slowly.

"Lo don't want to recognize me as your friends?" Sindir Abi's.

"There's no advantage in recognizing you." My answer is to hold back the upset.

"Gue Vio." Vio Sahut.

"Keynaa.." I hissed annoyed at her cute pretentious tone. Why are these friends of mine???

"Gue Abi's. Do you know the power?" Abi smirked a little. "Can join?"

"I swear people are not ashamed!" I'm pretty loud.

"Sir papa. Biar rame's. Here, Bi, sit here."

"Yes, Bi. Here!" About the handsome guy. I have always been forgotten by my friends. So sad.

I kept quiet when Vio and Keyna were busy wondering about Abi. Like before, Abi always managed to conquer the heart of a girl. As if mingling with a girl is not a difficult problem that he can do. It seems that Keyna and Vio are also starting to like Abi. For almost an hour I just stared lazily at them all.

"Sorry, I have to go back to the office. Later it is thought that why abis met the client even did not return." Abi ended the conversation.

"Oh yeah, yeah, no papa."

"The cake went away." Mumamku.

Abi heard my murmur and glanced at me. "Why the hell, Gem? Am I wrong again? You are always with me." I clucked slowly and turned my eyes in another direction. Ignoring Abi's call.

"When you hang out together again, Bi!"

"I'll play to the echo chamber. Lo nongol ya!" I rolled both balls of my eyes hearing Vio and Keyna's response.

"Ready! First yes I. Echoes, I'm first yes. Meet you at the kos!"

After Abi's death, Vio and Keyna are still busy talking about Abi. "Crazy anyway. He's not rich who often lo storyain ah, Gem."

"Yes, you just met."

"Asiatic.. You know who has known me for a long time."

"It's good."

"Yes, that was also the first time I knew him. He also knows cheating."

"Udahlah, Gem. Do not be too emotional when you meet him. Nyantai. Who knows if he has really changed? In the air, it's easy. Don't be merciful anymore."

"Hm." I just muttered indistinctly before the three of us finally decided to end our meeting.

--

"Why is Gem angry with you the same me?" For the umpteenth time I met Abi again. This time on my catfish pecel. He came here because of my talk at the laundry place.

"Yes the same poor man. Sebel."

"How can you not be like me anymore?"

"There's no way. I just keep the same lo sampe whenever."

Abi held back his smile. "There's a way. There's one."

"Did you?"

"Gue makes you love me. That's how it goes."

"Ye, dream time!"

"Why dream? I once made you love me. Can't make love again?" A few passersby looked at the two of us with strange looks. Some even giggled. Damn, so spectacle material!

"Bi, what a shame! Diliatin person!" Susultku.

"By the way, you don't have a boyfriend, do you? I don't have it yes. You see lo if the same way the same guy Aksa."

"Sotoy is so stale."

"But I was curious. From the story of Aksa anyway, kanya lo quite deket same him. Do you like him the same?"

"So I have to answer that question? Males!"

Abi rubbed his chin slowly. "Hm... Could be."

"She's what!"

"Well.. No denying it. My niece is pretty handsome. But, it's my relationship yes. Ok? Yeah, fine. Get him a little bit from me. I admit it. But, very little. Very banget. But, Aksa is still in college. Belom has income. I already have. It should be from there you can choose the right one to be a husband. Kan, good later. I graduated straight out of my application."

"Who wants to marry you?! Who wants to marry Aksa?!"

Abi grinning. "So, don't you want to marry me? Same with Aksa?"

I closed my eyes in frustration. If Aksa wants to! But, not this too! Aksa still has to go to college!

"Who said?" My answer.

"Oh, so you want to marry me?"

"No."

"Same Aksa?"

"Yes! Want to! Lo's satisfied?!"

Out of annoyance, I told the truth. Aye! What if I want to marry Aksa? It's none of her business, right?
