The First High School Love

Chapter 27 Anyer

The big van rented by Aunt Indira and her husband, Om Baskara, also brought his personal driver this time. Iko said, usually, Om Baskara who drives if only around Anyer, Bandung or Bogor. However, because I want to

really relax, Om Baskara finally invited Mr. Raden, their personal driver, to participate. Not to forget Kang Udin, one of the ART men in the house Om Baskara accompanied. Kang Udin was brought in because they planned to have a BBQ party last night at the largest resort in the Anyer Region.

Matari was honestly lazy one room with Raline. He is still not suitable with the beautiful girl because he first became Iko's girlfriend. Although now Matari does not like Iko as before, but there is still something stuck in her heart.

Raline herself did not seem too concerned with the presence of Matari. Although one room, Raline more often call with her phone. Raline whom he had first known was a friendly person. However, later on, every time Raline met, she always implied her dislike of Matari's presence.

After she finished calling, Raline left for the next room, where Iko and Kamal were. Matari had no problem being left alone. Luxury hotel rooms and large with direct views of Anyer beach make it more comfortable than having to join the teenagers of High School who are not too familiar.

About an hour later, Raline and Iko walked in. They invited Matari to go out for a walk around the beach area. Aunt Indira and Om Baskara were meeting other guests at the hotel's restaurant, so did not join. Mr. Raden and Kang Udin had been hanging out on the beach while smoking and enjoying coffee.

“Lu is the same as me. Rather than being a mosquito repellent,” said Kamal, who appeared suddenly behind Matari.

Matari just smiled. He's met Kamal before. In that Sunday morning bike group. However, at that time, Kamal was like another teenage boy. Cuek and did not care about the presence of Matari. So Matari was reluctant to get too close to him or just chat. But because at that time, Kamal also came, inevitably Matari should be able to try to be friendly to him.

Raline and Iko seemed engrossed in a joke on the beach. Matari reluctantly joined because she was lazy wet. Kamal sat next to him. A few meters behind them, it appeared that Mr. Raden and Kang Udin were sitting chatting while watching their little employer and friends.

“Lu pendiem very anyway. Chat dooong...!” yelled Kamal while lighting his cigarette.

Honestly, Matari never liked the person smoking in front of her. But he has to stay there. It's not good with Iko and the others if she has to step aside just because of Kamal's cigarette smoke.

“Lu can not sing?” ask Kamal then. “We play guitar while waiting for them to date. I'll lend it to Kang Udin first yes.”

Matari watched Kamal who passed towards Kang Udin's seat. Kang Udin was carrying a guitar. Not an expensive guitar like the one in Lisa's studio. But he said it was to fill in spare time while working at the house of Aunt Indira who tends to be quiet.

“Lu want to sing what? Small star?” ask Kamal while sitting back down.

“Small star time?” matari Timpal.

“Well, you're still a kid? SD yes you?”

“SMP, brother!”

“Loh, SMP? Kirain is still SD. I think you're the type of SD kid whose body is just bongsor. It turns out SMP. Yes, it means you can sing this dong love? What song do you mean? Indo what is west? I can all loh.”

Matari stared at anyer beach which was getting crowded because it was the school holiday season. Many hawkers walked to and fro offering his merchandise. There are also many children playing in the sand. There are also many visitors who play on the beach. He realized that he had not been to the beach for a long time. Probably last time when he was in 1st grade. During his father's family gathering office. At that time, Mom was still there.

“Woiii, even bengong lu!”

“Hahahaha, iaaa…. What is it, brother? Confused too..”.

“Yang again hits now what yes…. Know the song Pas Band?”

“That's just Lonely We are, Brother...”.

“Well, very tight. That's just it. Simplest. Short, I set the guitar first.”

While waiting, Matari noticed Raline and Iko who were making out while playing with water, still in the same place. They both look happy and friendly. Maybe, Iko is really happy dating Raline. Matari was also happy to see Iko laugh like that. Laughter that he rarely showed even though Iko was not a serious person.

“Dah, nih, yuk..!”

Matari gulped down her bottle of mineral water and then sang. While still staring towards Iko and Raline in the distance.

“Remember our friends once dreamed of each other

Running 'to make reality

Pass all alienation

Take the narrow road that never goes

Remember our friend once sweated a snitch

Loved and lonesome

Even if a moment away from the burden

Pass through the deep dark room

Life is just a piece

The estranged in the ocean

Forcing us

Soaking pain

But we also sat in the crown

Dreams that turn into real

Spiced by the fragrant flower princesses

Dreams that lead us to forget

Life is just a piece

The estranged..” 

“LAH HAPAL ALSO LO LITTLE CHILDREN?!” exclaim Kamal amazement.

“Plok... plok... plok...,” Matari realized Iko came closer while clapping. “Ri, ,

your voice was grimaced there. Very good!”

Matari just threw a smile. Some visitors around him also throw a smile at him, it seems some of them enjoy singing Matari which is suitable to be heard in the afternoon like this along with the sound of waves in the distance.

“Yes, good sound to him! Okay also make duets...!” timpal Kamal's.

“Ah, happened to be yesterday after the gig in retirement I sing this, Ko. So fit can also.”

“Pension? Lo son pension, Cil?” ask Kamal. “Crazy, your neighbor is magical too, man! I think he's a pendiem kid, a home-grown kid.”

“It's a real hell. I'm a pendiem and a houseboy, brother! Ask me about Iko. He was my first friend at the complex.”

“Iyaaa, but I didn't expect you to be a band boy either. Usually if the types like him, in school we will not enter cheers, yes no, Line?”

Raline raised an eyebrow and smiled as she could. “Yes people are different, Mal. There's a

cheers' boy who was as tall as him. Jaim-jaim. You know Olla, right? Same with him. If again the most diem exercise, but if the most poultice movement. Just a little stiff.”

I call a little boy,” Kamal said.

“Newly, brother. It just so happened that there was a shortage of personnel. Well, after the test, uh, the sound came in. Yes already....”.

“Gini Cil, lo sound is good. I think personally. I just thought I was rich enough gonjreng-gonjreng doang. It turns out, you can actually sing. Yes, just a hour we yuk.”

“Maclum yes, Ri, she's, the band's obsession. It is never on time when training. Henceforth

often outgrown. But actually, he's really good at playing guitar. See for yourself, once gonjreng, so!” Iko said praising.

“Ya out.. These kids if you are sure to play the band like that afternoon. Eat malemlah!” kamal toilet.

“Malem also belom of course lo dateng. If you don't play billards, he likes to mabok-mokan. Tell me, Ri. Not so rich!” Iko said while laughing.

“Ya looks young, bro. Kaya lo aja his hobby dating mulu. In the past was still single, his hobby to gramed nyari ball magazine. Now I have a girl, boro-boro to gramed. To the cave house is rare.”

“Gue males to lo home. I like the smell of liquor. Temen-tenemen lo tuh, if abis on mabok denginedin. Wonderful deh. If at home, I'm rich, nyokap I've maki-maki, until expelled kali.”

“Different houses, different rules, bro. My house is beautiful. Just as not treating. Same thing, bro. I can be expelled. Ngabis-ngabisin duit said.”

“Mabok also ngabisin money, cui. Okay, minus the maboknya. Not cape asked

same teacher continue, Kamal to where? Is that why Kamal's eyes are red? Ribet know not, lo!”

“Udah, already. What the hell is even so boasting about mabok everything? I want magrib. Earlier you told me, abis magrib we dinner at the hotel restaurant together. Booked for all of us. Do not forget to tell Mr. Raden and Kang Udin yes, they were invited as well he said.” Cut Raline with her face.

“Oh, that is, yes we have returned the hotel continue to shower first. I took Mr. Raden and Kang Udin first. You guys go to the hotel.” first Sahut Iko while walking first to where Pak Raden and Kang Udin are.

Matari follows Raline and Kamal walking down the sand towards the hotel which is located close to the beach.

“Gue shower first yes!” raline on Matari.

Matari. He did not dare to protest, even though his own body was already itchy due to sand everywhere.

***

After dinner, Matari is invited by Iko and Kamal to play in their room. Raline must have come without question.

Raline frowned as she looked at the liquor bottle that was near Kamal's backpack.

“Mal, don't mabok here huh. There's a little boy. Love a good example!”raline was sitting on the couch near the tv.

“Iya, yes. Be relaxed. I also know myself.” Kamal said while sitting next to Raline.

Matari sat down near them, then a moment later, Iko came.

“Wahhh, why tonight?” ask Iko for an idea.

“Ke beach yuk!” bring Raline.

“Ngak ah. Poor Matari knows. Last night, he'll clean up again. Sea air at night is not good for him.” timpal Iko.

“Ih, what the hell, more you. He knows it. I think he is almost the same height. Ri, you want to go to the beach?”

Matari grimaced, to be honest she was lazy. He just wants to stay in the room. At least here, no need to go to the beach anymore. Because they are lazy to clean.

“Udahlah, if you want to go to the beach, yes to the beach. I'm the same Matari here, later we play guitar aja yes?” bring Kamal.

“Ah, do not believe me, Matari left both lo.” exclaimed Iko.

“Honey, ask for help with Kang Udin for nemenin or at least check. We go to the beach again yuk both!” raline's advice.

“Iya, yes. No, I went to Mama's room with Kang Udin first.”

“OK. I wait here ya.”

Matari could only resign. He really wanted to go back to his room. But he was not happy to express his intentions.

When Iko returned, there was already Kang Udin and Pak Raden behind him. It turns out that Mr. Raden is not alone, there is a daughter who may be about 8 years old walking next to him holding him.

“Mba Matari, Mas Kamal, my son, Dian, come with ya. He was delivered by his mother. His mother has returned because tomorrow morning shift at the factory. He stayed here with me.”

Matari and Kamal certainly could not resist Dian's presence. Instead Matari was happy, at least there were other girls in the room.

“Sini Dian, sit same sister. What do you want to watch?” take Matari with you while waving her hand at Dian.

Dian was immediately sticky to Matari. Because only Matari had a friendly face to her back then.

“Yes, I came out first with Raline. Everything should not be hesitated, in lemar there is a snack that has been purchased with Mama. There are also fritters from Mama. Think of your own room. Dian need not be shy. Later if you want snacks there take aja.”

“Still, Mas. Be careful, yes,” said Mr. Raden.

Raline with sumringah directly came out holding Iko. Matari sits down and faces the tv with Dian, Mr. Raden's daughter. He chose to watch cartoons.

The room that Aunt Indira ordered was indeed large. Each has a kitchen set and dining table and a small tv area. It is like apartment 1 BR. The entire group gets the same room type. So, even though Matari, Kamal and Dian watch tv together in the tv area which also has a sofa for guests to watch tv comfortably, the room does not feel cramped. Moreover, Mr. Raden and Kang Udin chose to sit around chatting at the dining table while eating fried together. Aunt Indira and Om Baskara have also returned to her room. They did not join at all because they wanted to take an early break. Tomorrow morning, they

plan on jogging together around the hotel and beach area.

“Mba Matari, Mas Kamal, please accompany Dian for a moment. I'm the same Kang Udin wants to smoke outside first. It's not good to smoke here. I want to get some jogging shoes from Mom and Dad. Said it was in the car, missed!” said Mr. Raden later.

“Eh, Sir, I'm coming. Cil, you dare to both be the same Dian doang?” kamal exclaimed as he took a cigarette from his jacket pocket.

Matari. Dian answered nothing and just focused on watching tv.

After they left, the room became very spacious and large. At that time in 2001, the largest hotel in the Anyer region was still around 7 years standing, so the building still looks new and crowded. Matari still heard many people passing by in the front hallway and the sounds of people crowding the courtyard

the hotel sounded up to the room. Unlike now which tends to be quieter and not maintained because of inedible age.

About 1 hour passed, Matari realized Dian was already sleepy in her chair. Yet

there were signs of Mr. Raden and the others returning. The hallways were already very quiet, Matari did not hear people passing by anymore.

“Dian, if you want bobo, bobo aja while waiting for you to come, yes?” matari's suggestion when she saw the little girl was already very sleepy.

Dian nodded and leaned back on the sofa, before long, Dian fell asleep. Matari gave her jacket to Dian to cover half her body.

Matari replaced the cartoon channel with an HBO show, and watched a movie either way, which was already running in half. Before long, he rested his head on the arm of the sofa and fell asleep as well. The air conditioning of the room is cold and the weather outside is hot, making Matari sleepy.

At what time, when Matari realized, she woke up on the same sofa, only this time she was in a different position and covered. Dian was not seen in the corner of the chair, maybe Mr. Raden had moved it to his own room. Aunty Hanna's watch is decorated with a typical Dutch windmill in her hand, showing at 4 o'clock past 15 minutes. There was a loud snoring from the direction of the room. Slowly Matari peeked and saw Kamal sleeping there with another blanket. But there was no sign of Iko and Raline anywhere.
