This Friday is not as usual school hours end at ten because UTS has ended on Thursday so that the learning procession was not as effective as usual. Some students who score less than the specified standard take the remedial exam in the school hall, while others enter their respective classes and are given assignments by their respective teachers to fill the time gap from unclear wandering even though it is still around the school.
Naz who had just arrived at his house was immediately greeted by the Mother on the front porch and invited to enter the house which turned out there was already Mimih and Aunt Ina.
“Mimih,,, “, said Naz directly approached his Mimih who was sitting in the guest chair, Naz regretted it then hugged him,,”Mimih,, I miss so much”, he said then kissed Mimihnya cheek.”Oh, where's Arsen? How not to be seen?”, asked Naz while spreading his gaze.
“Mimih oge ni sono pisan kanu geulis,,, Arsen mah nuju KKN jadina teu can ngiring kadieu”, said Mimih.
“Mimih is also very same kangen this beautiful, Arsen is KKN will not be able to come here”.
“So the same Mimih aja nih kangennya? Arsen that is not there is also in question while the handsome one here is considered unhaib”, said Aunt Ina who has not been greeted by Naz.

“Iya,, my poneka is bigger than having pineapple, this is dali om boss dad, he said kak Nanas satit so ask ditenokin syama poneka who used to”.
“Hah, Om Boss Daddy…?? Who is it?”, asked Naz astonished.
“That's Naz, his friend Dandy who was playing to Bandung who came with you, Dandy and Mas Rizal.It turns out he was Mas Aji's boss in the office, and when you come home to pick up the file to meet with Auntie. At first Aunt did not know, but she still recognized Auntie apparently and introduced herself and mentioned she was her best friend Dandy, and when she saw Aliya, she said, he invited Aliya to chat saying that you are on hunger strike until you get sick because your doll is left behind. In fact, he even persuaded Aliya to want to give your doll to him by giving Aliya a bigger doll, he said your doll was of historical value,, he said,, it turns out that it was true that the doll had arrived quickly into the hands of mu”, Aunt Ina explained at length.
“I mean Aunt, that guy Arfin?” tanyanya.
“Yes, who else or Naz”, replied Aunt Ina.
“Eh, kamana eta si casep tea gening meni teu nepungan ka Mimih, teu apaleun kitu Mimih ka Jakarta?”, apparently Mimih memory, still sharp.
“Eh, where is that handsome guy who did not meet Mimih, did he not know that Mimih to Jakarta?”.
“Pan Arfin mah nuju in Surabaya atuh Mih, the tea casep sing horeng Bos na Mas Aji in place of damelna, pan ayeuna mah dintenan damel so teu tiasa kadieu Mih, Mas Aji ge teu tiasa sumping, jabana ge Ayu and Irfan nuju ulangan in sakola so ngan Ina hungkul nu tiasa kadieu tea in my plan the youngest”, Tante Ina explained.
“Kan Arfin again in Surabaya Mih, the handsome guy turned out to be his boss Mas Aji at his workplace, now it is a working day so can not come here Mih, Mas Aji also could not come because Ayu and Irfan are repeat at school so only Ina can come here at the youngest”.
“Mimih , Aunty, Nanaz and above first yes want to shower together change clothes, already sultry and sticky taste, didahh Aliya”, dadahh, said Naz then rushed up to the second floor to where his room was, Naz entered and immediately ran to drop himself onto the bed and hugged his little teddy bear. “Hiks... hiks, hikss,,,huhuhuhu,,, hyks hyks, why so much kindness you gave me, Sis, until even this small thing you do for me. Why do so much good, just so that I am not saddened by the loss of this doll of your gift,, hyks hyks,,, hik, ”, he said in his heart with tears. Naz felt increasingly guilty for Arfin who had made many sacrifices for him, while he had wasted it, and now there was a deep regret and scarred the pain in his heart.
After feeling calm, Naz rushed to the bathroom to clean himself and performed the dzuhur prayer in the room.
Since this afternoon the Naz family began to arrive in addition to Mimih and Aunt Ina, there are also Opa, Oma, Mr. Syarief, Bu Rahmi, and other relatives of sodara . Naz, who had finished cleaning himself, went back down to join his family who were gathered together with the men who had returned from the mosque after performing Friday prayers. The middle room was deliberately in the title of carpet carpet so that the atmosphere of togetherness was getting warmer and they ate together while sitting down.
After eating the men chatted casually while talking for tomorrow's event, while the women decorate the parcel for Dandy's proposal event and continue teasing him who will soon release his time. Naz had seen looking for the whereabouts of someone who might come to his house, but who was waiting did not see the trunk of his nose until night. Some people stayed while Mr. Sharif and his two brothers and his wife came home.
The next day in the morning once the residents of the house have been very busy with various activities, there are those who prepare food, there are those who prepare uniforms that will be worn by each in the event later, some have started to make up themselves, some are still bathing and so on.
Time shows at nine in the morning and everyone is ready to go to deliver Dandy to propose to his beloved, Arini. The men wear black mocha color batik while the women use dresses mixed with brocade tile with mocha color also with various models. Everyone began to go out one by one with some people carrying a proposal and into a car that amounted to six cars.
“Gilee lo Dan,, has been successful yes romantic proposal, now live official application alias engaged,,,”, said Nervan who just came to Dandy who was standing side by side with Naz.
“Where are you new nongol?”, Tanya Hardi Ketus.
“Hahah,,, which is important not yet at depart”, he said ngeles,” wah, neng gorgeous even more beautiful if wearing a gini dress, it looks like his female identity, like a princess of raj”, will look beautiful, said Nervan praised Naz who wore a mocha dress combination of leaf brocade tile with slightly pseudo sleeves to form a balloon with the length of the dress as a set, hair dyed back with flower makeup in the middle, and, shoes are short heels, and of course his face is self-sufficient with a touch of flawless makeup.
“Hadeuh,, really big Bang”, said Naz lazy.
“Eh, already ..let's go, others already on the car ride tuh”, said Hardi and suddenly Raline came to them.
“Mas Hardi, I was with Bang Evan ya ride his car, Papa car full same because tuh”, he said bergelayut spoiled on Hardi.
Nervan looked at Naz and then smiled cunningly, “Ayok Raline, just as you leave so that you are not lonely in the car, there is no chat”, no chat, he said he smiled widely because he saw Naz who threw his face looked jealous in his opinion.
“Nitip adek me,, do not macem-macem lo”, said Hardi threatened.
“Iya, yes mister ,, Ayok Raline”, take her while taking Raline holding her hand, “Initial yes Naz,,,”, he said throwing a smile, while Naz just rolled his eyes and he entered the car he was riding with Dandy and his Mother's Father, then they went to the Arini family residence.
Arriving there, their arrival was welcomed by the recipient of the guest, then invited in. How surprised Mother when shaking hands with her parents Arini who welcomed with the other princess.
“Pak Indra”, said Mommy surprised, then the look of the mother's face changed when she saw Sherly who welcomed her.
“Mother Anita,,,”, Mr Indra was no less surprised, “So Dandy is his son Bu Anita?”, he continued asking.
“Iya Sir, Dandy is my son and Anita”, Mr. Rizal who replied, because the wife was silent sculpting, ”I Rizal Harfi”, he continued and shook hands with each other.
“Mari, let's please sit”, Mr. Indra welcome to sit down, and the groups immediately take their respective seats that have been provided.
“Mother, let's sit”, said Naz whispered and held his mother whose look changed like she was upset and asked her to sit down and they sat next to “Mother,, do not be like this,, this is an important event, Brother Dandy, I beg you, we have forgotten and will not discuss my problems and Sherly again right Mother, please do not let my problems that once damaged the moment of happiness Kak Dandy”. Naz whispered back to his Mother's ear, then he seemed to take a deep breath and exhale to neutralize his feelings of being shocked and upset.
Just now Naz managed to calm his mother, now Naz who got a surprise when he accidentally looked towards Mr. Indra who had just returned to enter with someone, now Naz who got a surprise when he was accidentally looking at him, then it was seen that the person behind the brand was walking alone, then he circulated his gaze and unexpectedly the two of them looked at each other. Naz's shock mixed with the happiness that rose in his heart, the longing that for two weeks tormented him as if he was healed when he saw the man he loved finally appeared after a long time without seeing him, but unfortunately it did not last long, when Naz threw a smile at him, he immediately threw away his face and walked towards the seat that was far away from Naz and it turned out that he was sitting close to Mimih and Aunt Ina who were holding Aliya.
Naz's smile instantly disappeared and became a heart-wrenching pain, the man who had always made her feel happy and flower-flowering, always treating her sadness and giving a sense of comfort, now only the pain he felt when he saw the man of his heart ignore himself even just a moment of looking directly throw his face,”Hate it was him to me, he was me, whereas with Mimih and Aunt Ina he looks very friendly, but to me,,, just looking at me he looks like he is not kind,,”, Lirih Naz when glancing over to where Arfin is sitting with Mimih and Tanteenya, by trying your hardest so as not to look sad and not cry.
The application event went smoothly, ending with ring exchanges. Next, guests are welcome to eat the dishes. And they also approached the buffet table to take by choosing a variety of foods there. Naz got up from his seat and followed his mother to take food, he walked with shrewd steps and thought somewhere to not realize that near the buffet table there is Dandy, Dandy, Hardi and Arfin were talking.
“Ayok-ayok,, hahalah lo just a proposal already nervous let alone want to akad later”, said Hardi then laughed at Dandy, and they were about to eat.
When Arfin was about to take the plate, Naz also just got there to take the plate, they were back in sight and worse than the one Arfin had just turned his body and left the buffet table, so Naz rushed away then approached Arini who stood not far from there, “Kak,, I want to ride to the toilet bile”, he asked.
“Oh yes Naz, you straight there keep turning left, later meet the bathroom”, said Aini while showing the direction.
“But yes Brother,,,”, Naz also directly walked to the bathroom according to directions from Arini, when he got there he immediately entered and locked the faucet, turning on the faucet, and finally the tears that he had been holding back from now spilling out from his two beautiful beads ,hiks,, hyx,, hyx,,,, Naz kept crying out his sorrow, she said, smothering his mouth with his palm to hold the voice so that people do not hear, put the other palm on his chest that felt tight and sick as if Arfin's treatment continued to be imagined in his head, Arfin who threw away his face when he saw it, avoid passing him, stay away when accidentally close to him, hix, kisses,, “Why this is so painful”, he explained.
After a while in the bathroom, he washed his face and then wiped it with a tissue that was always in his bag, he tidied up his makeup and calmed himself down until it didn't look like he was crying, then Naz turned off the faucet and came out of the bathroom.
“Fruit fell is not far from the tree,, his mother cheesy child was just as cheap”, said Raline ketus.
“What does that mean?”, asked Naz sewot.
“No need to pretend, I see you like Bang Evan deketin, do not need kegatelan deh lo, you already have the limp it”, said Raline.
“Gue chases Bang Evan,,, ? not behind me, speaking?? He's the one chasing me”, Naz spoke confidently.
“Oh,, so because the cripple already nyuekin lo so lo nyari another victim”, so,.
“Whatever,,, step aside I want to go”, said Naz.
“Emang cheap girl like lo fit with a limp guy like dia”, said Raline.
“Si limps the limp,, he has a name, and his name is Arfin, I'm sure you don't budeg kan”, said Naz encouraged Raline.
“Emang in fact that he is a limp” man, Raline even more insulting.
“Oh, yes and lo the stupid”, said Naz.
“What do you mean I'm a fool", Raline got hooked.
“Emang from SD also lo it's stupid, reiterate aja nyontek same me, PR lo from SD to SMP also I know, where you never enter the ranking, where you never enter the ranking, at least 10 big that,, never right, what try that name, stupid”, he reminded.
“How dare you do I”, said Raline annoyed.
“Dare, how does it feel to name lo in ridiculed so the Fool,, not good, if not for Papa's money, where maybe you can pass the famous SMA, if not for your money, basic Stupid” said Naz.
“Badly lo ya”, Raline immediately grabbed Naz's hair that was robbed, and Naz also replied, Raline throwing, Naz also retaliated with a harder slap.
“Stop, what the hell are you guys here”, said Bu Rahmi who approached those who were fighting in front of the bathroom.
“That's Ma, he said I'm the Fool who is not good at lessons, even he said I can enter SMA just because of a bribe from Papa, Ma”, said Ralin whining.
Plakkk ,, Bu Rahmi slapped Naz hard, “I have been very patient with you, with your presence and your mother, I am enough that you hurt, I am enough, never hurt my child in the slightest, understand you”, said Bu Rahmi by showing her index finger to the face of Naz, while Naz bowed while holding her cheek, said Bu Rahmi, then he ran away with his head down and hurried away from the party crowd.
Naz walked out indeterminate directions wherever his feet stepped down the unfamiliar sidewalk by holding his sore cheek and what hurt more was his heart, with tears flowing constantly. After a while of walking, he stopped a taxi and boarded it.
While at the Arini house the event has been completed and the guests are said to be one by one to return home each, respectively, Arfin also said goodbye when the three friends were still gathering and chatting there.
Arfin drove his car somewhere, and after a while he arrived at his destination, parked his car in the yard.
“Assalamu’alaikum Bude”, said Arfin greeting Bude Hafsah who was sweeping the terrace floor.
“Wa’alaikumsalam,, “, Bude answered the greeting and Arfin also approached and greeted Bude, “ come in Arfin as it will soon rain the sky is already dark like that, , even though this is still daytime”, said Bude invited into the house, and when he arrived in the living room there was someone who was sleeping on the sofa, “Yes, my goodness,,the boy fell asleep as soon as Bude left for a while nyari children to the lake” park, said Bude shook his head and approached him. “Naz, get up, let's move to Bude”'s room, Bude tries to wake Naz up, but he seems to have done nothing about what Bude said.
“Already Bude, let it go, maybe he is tired”, said Arifin.
“Iya, but pity it will hurt if his body sleeps there, continue to wear the dress again, fearing it will be a spectacle”, said Bude.
“I helped carry him to be moved to Bude”'s room, Arifin offered.
“Wahhh, really this, ko even so ngerepotin kamu”, said Bude sungkan
“What is Bude”, said Arfin, then he approached Naz and slowly embraced it and carried it ala bridal style brought to Bude's room and lay in bed, Arfin stared fixedly at Naz's sleeping face, then rubbed his cheek, “This must be very sick,, sorry for defending me, you were slapped by them Naz”, softly in heart with a sad look." Emmm. He ignored me hysterical" Naz said deliriously.
“Arfin, this is the blanket, just taken from closet”, said Bude thrusting a blanket, and Arfin enveloped Naz's body from the chest to cover his legs. “Let's go out, let him rest, he must be tired it seems to be crying”, Bude and Arfin went back to the living room and they sat there. “The boy's pity, it seems like his life's burden is too much for a teenager his age, but he doesn't want to share it with anyone, he prefers to calm himself by lingering by the lake.”.
“Indeed Naz often to Bude lake?”, asked Arfin astonished.
“Iya often, if sad again must be there,, to eliminate fatigue he said, but a few months ago he often came to the lake to wait for the arrival of someone he considered as his motivator,,, and,, but unfortunately the person never came to fulfill his promise”, said Bude.
“Motivator..who is Bude?”, Arfin again asked.
“That's no idea what his name is, but he said Naz knew him since he was a child and met him by the lake, and they often communicate via sosmed because the man lives abroad, he said, and when he returned to Indonesia the person promised to meet him at the lake, but until now never showed himself”, said Bude explained.
“What is that person that Naz meant in his voice note message, and since that person also Naz rejected me,,,,, Who is he??”, Arfin murmured in his heart.
