The First High School Love
Chapter 26 Invite Iko
During her 13-year life, Matari was able to count the number of times she went on vacation with her family. In the past, when his mother was still there, the holidays would be filled monotonously. Matari and Bulan will alternately between going to Jakarta to Eyang place.
Or to the place of the family of Matari Mother who is far away in the Semarang area. But that is only occasionally, because traveling to Semarang requires a fairly decent fee. Most often he would spend his vacation time at the house of Eyang alone. While Kak Bulan will walk around alone without himself around Jakarta with his new friends out of nowhere.
The moon can easily make friends in national libraries, museums or other places she goes to. Unlike Matari, she will only play with Sandra if her cousin comes too. Otherwise, Matari would walk a little to Gramedia and read for free there, looking for a book that had slipped off the wrapper.
Now, even though everything has changed, Matari still likes to be alone. He didn't feel the sense of having to spend time in the room, renting as many novels and comics as possible. Spend your vacation time just reading.
“Ri, it was sought after Iko,” said Eyang when Matari just woke up to take lunch at the dinner table.
“Ke here, Which?” ask Matari.
“Iya. He asked for permission from Eyang, make your permission to let him vacation to Anyer. You mean he needs one more girl to nemenin Rali...?”
“Raline, Anyang.”
“Iya, Raline.”
“Eyang actually agreed, after all you go with Indira as well. But you must keep the same permission as your father. Wherever he is your parent is also.”
Matari. It's actually kind of lazy to go anywhere. A little sad when he realized, Davi had not contacted him for a long time. Matari thought, saturated also at home. Sandra went to her grandmother's house with her mother. Month as usual paskibraka practice in school, because soon it is August, he had to do a lot of practice before the independence ceremony.
After Matari had lunch, he asked her permission to call her Father who was in the office, to ask permission to go on vacation with the Iko family. Whether there was any wind, his father agreed unconditionally
besides having to be polite and obey Aunt Indira while there.
“Ya already, tell Iko there. All of you please help Eyang to buy white yarn in Mba Sari stall,” said Eyang Putri while giving some money. “Some you buy ice cream for Iko too, yeah. So go there don't take empty hands.”
Matari. After saying goodbye, Matari took out her bicycle and pedaled quickly to Mba Sari's stall to buy Eyang's order white thread. Ice cream at Mba Sari stalls is a homemade homemade ice cream that is always selling sweet. Fortunately, there were still a few more to buy Matari according to his advice.
When I arrived at Iko's house, Iko was surprisingly waiting for her in front of the house. Matari gives the ice cream she bought, to Iko, and another one to herself. Matari refused to enter, as usual leaning his bicycle on the gate and sitting together in front of the gate.
“Gue deliberately waiting for elo. I saw from Elo's room passing in the direction
warung Mba Sari.” Iko said while eating the ice cream that Matari gave her
to him. “Still yes, the ice cream.”
“Still with Eyang. Don't know, again baek him.”
“Ri, it's not always that people are evil. Uh not evil anyway. I mean..”
“Iya, I understand," said Matari cut, he felt lazy to have to discuss the matter of Eyang with Iko at that time.
“So how? You're coming to Anyer?”
Matari smiles. “Iya. Magically too, Dad ngizinin.”
“It. Mama had called first actually to Daddy the same Eyang lo. I kept coming for nanyain again. the day after tomorrow, we leave. No swimsuit?”
Matari grimacing. “Gue can't swim, Ko. I don't know where my swimsuit is either. Should bring ya?”
“Yes we're going to the beach. If you go to the mountain, bring a jacket!”
“Hmm, I'll borrow Sandra or Moon deh.”
“Well that dong. Can't you swim? Want me to teach? At home, my swimming pool is idle. Most Mama doang who often use kalo afternoon.”
“Hahaha, not ah. Shame me. I can't at all, Ko.”
“Ri, class 2 later instead of compulsory swimming exculpation yes in lo school? You kudu can know!”
“HAH? Seriously? Who says lo?”
“Eh is mandatory or there is an assessment? I don't know, ah. I'm just horrifying too. Learning from now. At my home, free.”
Matari stared at Iko's large and clean swimming pool.
“Lo kudu can, Ri. Inget yes, Indonesia is an island nation. Most have a coastline. And as a good citizen, you can swim. Especially if Jakarta is flooded. Even though our area never hit. But who knows, right in the future?”
Matari just smiled. “Lo is easy because you have a swimming pool. For me, swimming is an expensive sport know.”
Iko was silent for a moment, feeling unwell. “Yes, that's why you can study at my house. I'll say to Mama. He must have been ngizinin. Sure 100 %.”
Matari just nodded. “Btw, who came to Anyer who? How did I grow up?”
“Because we ordered 3 rooms, Ri. Mama is the same Papa room. I'm the same with my deketeers, Kamal. Raline can't be alone. Instead of talking to Raline who Mama does not know, she asked me to take you with me. Pity the onion at home continues. Hahahah!”
Iko stopped laughing for a moment. Not good for Matari anymore.
“Sorry, sorry. Not what I mean. So not good at lo.”
“Ah, relax. I'm not offended, though. If you want to be honest, sometimes I envy the same friends can vacation there to here. Unfortunately, I happen to need more effort if you want a vacation than anyone else. Than that I prefer to rent comics or novels to read.”
“Hmmm, I am usually on vacation with Mama Papa. You know that sometimes they still want to know about my brother who is not there. Mama still likes to daydream at the pool deck. So, the only way yes go on vacation so they can be diverted for a while.”
Matari stared at the bright afternoon sky and gave off a beautiful tinge of orange color. Matari realizes that all families have their own problems.

“Not there I am. You know, I can't swim too,” said Sandra on the phone, when Matari called her grandmother's house, to ask for a swimsuit. “Kak How is it?”
“Ngot load. He is thinner than me. Higher anyway.” Matari Sahut.
“Hmmm, if for example leggings with a tanktop would not? Dalemannya sport bra aja color of the item so later not so nerawang. My advice is yes. Wherever they are not family, it is not good if it is too thin. Especially if the t-shirt, worse net. The tanktop is light but dark in color too. Pake later
kimono towel exterior. I have all the tuh, if the model is rich so.”
“Yes, it's rich. There's everything in your closet?”
“Yoy. Pack my usual backpack for scouts. That would fit a lot. Do not forget the flip-flops or sandals mountain dry. Don't wear shoes, make it wet. Make it as simple as possible because of lo nebeng family vacation people.”
“Iya, yes. Ready, later I ruffled your room ya.”
“Btw, how? Are you permission belom?”
“Sama Dad? Same Eyang? I said that Aunt Indira even stole the start with the info first. So I'm safe..”
“Open. Not them. Guys you lah.”
“Hah? What the hell?”
“Aaan, what? Davi already know your belly will go with Iko?”
“Oh, dia. I haven't called in a long time. Last time class meeting, before receive reportor.”
“Wah, tumblr. Usually diligently absent if I say, hahaha.”
“Hmmm, again holiday also time.”
“Not curious?”
“Ngaklah.”
“Totally? Are you sure?”
“Bener.”
“Lo when do you want to be with him?”
“Why is it suddenly?”
“Again. I'm just fadin. We will be in class 2. Inget yes, Ri, in 2nd grade, anything can happen. If you are the same class Davi how?”
“Yeah! Don't talk about it, dong! I really don't want my classmate he.”
“Kan lo himself said, class 2 will be scrambled. I am very happy when I am your classmate. If you are classmate how is he?”
Matari. That's never been thought of before. A class with Davi? Could it?
“Continue, for two weeks of this class increase vacation, he may not like you anymore. For example, he met a girl who he thought was more interesting than you during the holidays, how about hayo?”
Matari plays the end of her hair.
“Kok diem? Nope, nope. Joking me. Be ready there. You leave tomorrow, right? Yes carefully. Greetings to his family Aunt Indira. Mama also send greetings nih.”
“Yes, later salted. Yes yes it is. Have fun!”
Matari put down the phone. Next to her, the Princess is on stand by to lock the phone back. After making small talk, Matari went up to the second floor and entered Sandra's room. Turn on the AC and take a quick nap. He decided to go for a night out just to get his backpack ready to go on holiday to Anyer.
His eyes looked at the ceiling. He realized, without any activity like this it feels very lonely. No one accompanied him. Suddenly he felt like talking to Davi again, talking about important things as usual. Is this what you call longing?
