The First High School Love
Chapter 7 The Second Surprise
Saturday it was raining heavily all day since the first subjects. Matari
he looked at his bike with annoyance. He was confused as to how.
“Why lo?” ask Lisa.
“Bingung me, how to go home?”
“Ya just came home. You always carry an umbrella.”
“My bike?”
“Easy, same with me. But it's a little late. My driver is still otw. Later
bike you get into the car aja.”
Matari hugged Lisa. “Somehow without lo, Lis.”
Lisa rolled her eyeballs. “Same with anyone. The mengingan part of the season
ujan elo lessin bring a bicycle. Gini events will no longer know, no. Good luck
Saturday I did not go to les. Try it if I can not nolongin elo.”
“Ya most I wait until rain.”
“Kalo kelarannya malem? Crazy lo. I'm alone in school malem-malem.”
“Iya also yes.”
“Hadehhhh.. dizziness is sometimes the same as lo. Pinter in academic matters but
sometimes really slow about ginian.”
“Turns is it the same lo? Hahaha.”.
“Damn it! Btw btw, I'm curious, you said yesterday what the hell? Humming
there is no Thea. Sometimes his mouth likes can not be brake if ngatain people.”
“Yeah! I forgot to open!”
“HAH???? SERIOUSLY LO?”
“Iya! Ouch, ouch, **** I am so. It's been two days. Bentar, jerk, budu,
the power is still in the bag deh.”
Matari immediately reached into her bag.
“Ah, meet!”
“Yes very slow lo, Ri…. It's there's a crush on you, and ELO
FORGOTTEN! Not dear so he, surely he does not think you like because of your attitude
ordinary even though I have received kadonya.”
Matari just laughed. Then slowly open the gift. Apparently in
inside is a Band Element cassette.
“Ciyeeeeeeeee... from whom, Ri?”.
Matari found a small paper sticky note in yellow and a
blue chicken claw writing.
“Dear Matari, Hope you like yes, Davian. Huh huh? Davian???? Davi's? Davinny
Thea?”
Not only was Lisa surprised. Matari could say nothing.
Then he suddenly flashback will Abdi's attitude all along to him. Even him
had almost believed Thea's talk that Abdi liked her.
“Gue don't know what to say, Lis.”
“Gue also..”.
“Crazy, I didn't expect. But how can it be? Not that he likes the same
Thea?”
“Udah, mendingan now we go home first. It's half 3 o'clock. My driver
already in front, he will bring an umbrella here to bring your bike first. We're pake
the umbrella is equally. Okay well? My feeling, we have to work first from Thea
oh, Ri. Can you while this secret was from him?”
“Can anyway. Continue if he wants the gift from whom?”
“Kanya if in the near future he will not be sparse to ask
lo same. He's a full rehearsal for the basketball championship. He continues to be rich if there is
time to sleep in class. Well, if it fits he is free and remember about gifts
here, let's talk the truth. How?”
Matari nodded. Followed Lisa who walked first
he approached the driver to ask for help bringing his bicycle. Moments without
intentionally looking back. Abdi and Davi were standing at a distance
watch them, without saying anything.

At home, the rain seemed to have no sign of abating. In the family room
so lonely. Aunt Dina in her room accompanied Om Budi. Sandra hasn't
go home. Brother too. Mbok Kalis is making himself warm tea. Eyang Poer's
still haven't come home from the hospital with his friend.
As Matari was about to return the towel to its place, the phone rang.
Matari caught a glimpse of the wall clock nearby. At four o'clock in the afternoon.
“Halo, assalamualaikum?”
“Walaikumsalam. Is there a date?”
The deg! Matari immediately felt this was the person she had seen, considering Abdi had asked her the home phone number. And Thea's stories about Davi when she liked him. The story of the phones that always came. Until finally the voice in
the phone said again.
“There is, Mba?”
“Gue Matari's. Who is this?”
Correct guess. I don't know why the name even crossed his head
just now, he just refused to mention it.
“Oh, hi Dav. What was? Tumben phone.”
“No papa, Ri. Just want to talk. Not a surprise, right?”
“Alhamdulillah, no. Thankfully, there is Lisa.”
“Hmmm yes. Btw have opened my gift, Ri?”
“Oh, yes. Thanks, Dav. But next time don't give me anything else
yes.”
“Why?”
“Yes, I don't like it. That's money from ortu lo.”
“Yes, but I have been given to me. Yes it's up to me dong want to buy what.”
Matari. Free to talk to people who are in their family situation
inversely with himself. Especially about pocket money savings. Even their excessive pocket money.
“Why diem?”
“Neg. No papa. The rain is getting heavier. Your voice is not a clear cry.”
“Oh, I think you're in the room.”
“Haha, how to, pull the cable?”
“Yes, the phone cable is long, Ri. Sometimes it's just rolled up
neat.”
“Iya anyway, I think so too.”
“Btw, like it?”
“What?”
“Casset Element. Because I was also horrified. Great song too.”
Matari actually wanted to say that she also listened to Element
because of someone else, but abandoned his intentions.
“Still yes.”
“Yes, thanks back. I'm hearing from Abdi, if you like minjem has Lisa.
I thought about giving thanks. So let's not minjem-minjem again.”
“Kalo about milk? Why must pass Abdi anyway, pity to know. He was suspected
same likes me same kids my class.”
“Iya, sorry. I'm not good with Abdi either. So next time can be me
love again but not through Abdi?”
Matari was eager to ask: Why? But cut off his intentions. He was afraid that the atmosphere of the chatter would turn strange. Moreover, when he realized that at that time, the house felt lonely. There are also friends chatting besides his family in this house at this hour.
“Where, Ri? Can not?”
“Iya, can. But can I ask for one thing?”
“What, Ri?”
“Kalo can, hide all that from Thea first huh. While only kok.”
“Hah? Thea?”
“Iya. Thea.”
“Why?”
“Gue want something can?”
“Bby..”.
“Lo still likes not the same Thea?”
“Ngak. Nope. If I still like Thea, why do I love milk
and cassette equal lo?”
Matari. Not continuing any sentence. Looks like Davi too
are so. Actually after the sentence he said he could confess his feelings directly.
Not so fast, Davi does not want to take another wrong step. Finally Davi
move the conversation to another topic.
“Eh, exkul archery cool too huh?”
“Oh yes? Want to join? Not everyone is interested, the equipment is a bit
expensively. Eh but money is not a problem for you yes.”
“Sinis. But not papa. I'm used to being a girl. Hahaha.”
“What the hell lo, Dav?”
“Hahaha, that expensive, Ri?”
“Yes, expensive, just look at the sports store. I also use the form of Eyang Kakung
l.”
“That's a great Eyang Kakung lo, Ri. Pantesan nurun to elo. Pas nah
deliberately look at you play, I think I'll get an arrow. Hahahaha.”
“Elo jayus also yes. I thought you were serious.”
“Ngaklah. If it is seriously not suitable to play with Abdi.”
“You guys are so decked out?”
“Lumayan. From the real SD. He's my neighbor's house too. On my block
that, he's the only one of his age. Love to play PS and ball, fit already.”
After that, Matari and Davi engaged in a smooth-flowing conversation,
even until several times Davi called in the following days. Davi was planning quite carefully this time. Matari
he was reluctant to ask why Davi always called him. In the middle
her family environment wasn't pleasant enough, at least she was
feel comfortable at home.
