The Second Rani

A look at Ringga

Teeeit ... Teeeit ... Teeeit ...

The long bell rings, a sign of the completion of today's learning. The whole day was empty, without the lingga. I miss him so much. His smile, his laughter, and sometimes his mysterious silence, I miss it too.

I remember all day I didn't even hold a cell phone. I quickly opened the phone in my backpack. Swipe the screen to unlock it. There are some incoming messages that I haven't opened in the morning. I checked one by one, there was a name there, Ringga.

[Rania, kangen ... Sorry I can't go to school today.]

At 07:29 this morning.

I'll get a reply for him immediately.

[Well, yes Ringga ... Make rest, get better soon yeah ... ]

The tring! He immediately replied to my chat.

[Newly reply 🤗]

[Sorry Ringga, I just saw HP. Wait, I have a surprise for you.]

[What is that?]

[Consecration 😜]

[Marketing 😚]

"Rania, let's wait!" Nava reprimanded me who was constantly engrossed in the world of chatting with Ringga.

"Yes, sorry ..."

"Whose same chat?"

"Ringa. I just held HP, it turns out he chipped me from the morning.]

" Oh, there's something missing apparently. Yuk, while talking."

"Eh Va, who's coming?"

"We, Bayu, Ryan, continue ..." Nava's words are cut off.

"Who?"

Nava hinted with both of her eyebrows, "Tuh ..."

It turns out there is a Maharani and a Trio L. They are ready in front of the class.

"Eh, what are you guys up?" ask Lisa and Nava.

"I'm the same Bayu." answered Nava.

"Hm, I'm still waiting for Stevi anyway! He wants me to take his plan." I replied.

"Ran, let's go home," Stevi suddenly came. Then I rushed to him.

"Eh Vi, I'm the same classmate who wants to look at Lingga. Yuk, you come too." take me to Stevi.

"Oh, Lingga did not enter Ran. But how is it? I had agreed to the same meeting as well, there would be a group task. So this is me hurrying home, changing clothes keep going again the plan."

"Hm, yes Vi. You go home first. I went there just like that. You just go home."

"Why are you going home?"

"No papa Vi, I'll take Bayu or Ryan."

"I'm sorry Vi, I can't help you. Greetings to the Ringga."

"Okay, I'll be there."

"Eh, you wait in front of the gate yeah, I give you your helmet, okay!"

"Okay Vi, thank you."

Well, it's a risk if you don't have your own bike. I have to take a friend if I'm going anywhere.

"Ran, how's Stevi?" Nava.

"He's not coming, there's a group assignment."

"You will be the same as Ryan. I'm the same Bayu. Look ahead, afraid they'll wait a long time." take Nava with my hand.

"Eh Va, what was the Empress doing?"

"Don't ask, they're riding in Loli's car. Ordinary, the Loli bokap nyokapnya big man all, every day pick up the car."

"Oh .." I answered briefly. Well, the level is very much different from me. Motor, I don't even have one.

"Not to be surprised Ran, do not need to be inferior too. I take the bus every day, hehehehe. We both have no motorbike .." said Nava, as if he could read my mind.

"Yes Va ... I think we really fit in!" I held him tight.

When we got to the gate, Bayu and Ryan, the class president, were waiting on the bike.

"Udah ready? Let's go!" take Ryan.

Nava has been riding on the bike with Bayu. I remember Brother Bintang, I forgot to call him earlier.

Pajo ... Pajo ... Not lifted by Kak Bintang. Where's she?

"Rania, who's phone?" ask Ryan.

"Eh, Brother Star." I replied.

"Oh, he's gone home first, want to change clothes first he said. Later anyway, if it is already nyampe the house of Lingga later I share location. Hurry, let's go up!"

"Yes." Yeah."

*** REDUCING HOUSE ***

The magnificent house, high iron fence. It is not wrong if indeed his father is a doctor, who has a high position in one of the big Hospitals in this city.

We parked the motor outside the fence. Bayu rang the bell, and a moment later the gate opened automatically, followed by a middle-aged mother who greeted you. What is clear is that it is not the mother of Ringga, it seems like she is a domestic assistant here.

"His friends are Den Ringga?" ask the mother.

"Yes, ma'am" we answered simultaneously.

"Eh, there's Mas Bayu too. His friends were invited in. Den Ringga is in the upper room. Want to look, huh?"

"Yes Mbok, there is another miss with Lingga like it." said Bayu while walking behind the Mbok, while we just followed him.

"Where is Bayu's mas?"

"Take a guess yourself Mbok, hehe."

I thought Bayu was a little quiet, but he was kind, especially at this Simbok.

"Eh Ryan, have you seen Star Brother?" my many.

"Well, I just shared a location. Most immediately sampe him."

"Please sit down ..." Let us sit in his spacious living room.

Nava and I looked around. The furniture in the living room is luxurious and elegant. We looked at each other, then we smiled together. Yes, our thoughts are the same, stunned by this luxurious house belonging to the Ringga family.

Then from the outside came a new group. Who else if not Maharani, Lisa, Luna, and Loli. No, it's not done. It turns out there is a Star Brother there too.

When she saw me, she smiled widely, bringing up a pair of beautiful dimples.

"Hey guys, it's been a while?" said Lisa.

"It's only been five minutes." answered Nava.

"Hi bro!", greet Kak Bintang to Ryan, and shake each other typical slang child. Oh, they're familiar apparently.

"Hai Rania .." said Brother Star to me.

"Ehm, only Rania is called" said Maharani while standing in front of me, deliberately blocking the view of Kak Bintang to me. After a few seconds, he left, glaring so cynically. I could only shake my head at her childish attitude.

And, the person we were waiting for is now present. Lingga looked fresh out of his room upstairs, then he went down the stairs. Her smile broadened as she looked at me. Only today did not meet, it felt this nostalgic to her. I also spread a smile on my lips, not hesitating to display a row of my teeth.

From her body, she looked fine, only a bruise on the corner of her lips implying that she was not doing well. But, suddenly the smile slowly disappeared, turning into a dislike gaze. And, his view I think is no longer with me, but with .....

Star Brother standing next to the chair I sat on!

Will yesterday's fight be repeated? I hope they meet today to make peace. But my heart began to signify that I was now afraid. I squeezed my own hands to calm my heart.

I turned my head to Star Brother. The same! There was no smile on his face. I have to what now?
