Happy Carrier Lollipop

The school canteen is always crowded every time entering the break. Yohan had to jostle with dozens of other people just to buy a lollipop with a blend of chocolate and milk flavors, every day. Not to eat alone, but to give to others. Taken name. A beautiful, graceful woman with glasses perched on her face that Yohan had loved since 10th grade. After a year and a half passed, his heart was still anchored to the figure of the sweet woman.

After finishing struggling with many people in the canteen, finally a pack of lollipops was already in his hands. He immediately went to Dita's class which was next to his class.

"Ta, something's coming, tuh!" tiara said straightforwardly as her netra caught the figure of Yohan standing in front of her classroom door. He and his classmates had memorized the habit of Yohan who always looked for Dita in the second break.

Dita who sat back to the door turned her body. His face immediately looked sour looking at the figure of the person who was looking for him. Even so, he still stood up and approached the man who was already grinning unclear.

"Hi, Ta! It's lollipop again for you. Don't throw it away again, okay?" yohan said as she handed the lollipop to him. His eyes were focused on Dita's face which was frowning looking at the lollipop in her hand. Funny, Inner Yohan.

"Yo, why, lollipops every day? I've had diabetes for a long time, right? I made you alone," grumbled Dita who then wanted to turn around, ready to leave Yohan. Before he actually left, the man quickly blocked Dita's hand and forced her palm to accept the lollipop.

"Kan, have I ever said that? I'll stop telling you lollipops if we're dating. But, if you're afraid of diabetes, I can give you something else. What do you want?" yohan said with a sweet smile. Dita's tiny hand that had now grasped the lollipop was still in her grasp.

Honey, the grip was immediately released by him before finally saying, "And I also have told you that I do not want to date you." He paused his sentence with a sigh before continuing, "This is the last gift I received. If you're still reckless, don't expect me to talk to you again!" Dita then returned to her seat, directly turning her back to Yohan's standing position. Looking at that, he could only cackle angrily. Look, yeah, it feels like falling in love?

After coming from his classroom, Yohan returned to her own class and approached her friends who were busy playing games.

"Exit from her class?" roni asked with a gaze that was still focused on the screen of the phone with his hands moving agilely on it.

"Yoye, usual. But he does not want me to give lollipops again, later diabetes he said. What love, huh?" confide Yohan while leaning her back on the back of the chair.

Instead of answering, Roni actually cursed first because he lost the game. At the same time, Hesa cheered and applauded to celebrate his victory.

"Oh, Yo! Not tired of being rejected?" ask Hesa wonder. Naturally, it has been a year more his best friend was approaching the same woman without progress. To be honest, Hesa was a little tired of seeing his best friend.

Now, they get into serious discussions. The cell phone that had been in the grasp of their hands was already lying just like that on the table. Both Roni and Hesa were staring fixedly at Yohan who was smiling thinly. To be honest, he was tired too. All the ways he has done just to be glimpsed by his bluff. When it is glimpsed, it feels like there is and nothing. Repeated rejection also hurt her heart, although she was now used to it. But even if he was tired, he would not give up.

There was a sigh from Roni before he said, "When do you think you're going to get this? It's a waste of time, Yo."

"Keep, should I give it up? Confess just not yet, it's a matter of course," said Yohan did not accept. After all, it doesn't matter if you have to 'waste time' for a woman like Dita.

Silent. The three of them both knew that this would have no end. Counseling Yohan to stop is like chopping water, there will be no use alias futile.

"Gue know," Hesa suddenly cried while pounding the hard table making all eyes towards him. "Lo stop first, deh, ngejer the Dita-Dita. No, I'm not done talking. Do you know the pull system? All this time, right, you've been pulling, now groove first. This method usually works, anyway. If it doesn't work, I said give it up, deh, Yo," explained Hesa at length. He did not let Yohan interrupt his explanation.

Yohan who heard his friend's suggestion just fell silent. He turned to look at Roni who was now nodding his head in agreement, before returning to see Hesa who was smiling proudly with her own idea. If only the situation were not this serious, Yohan would have definitely clocked the man's head because of his rancid expression.

Should he try that way? But what if Dita just got away from him? Should he give up if that happens? Rather than that, could he ignore Dita's existence?

After pondering all night, Yohan finally decided to follow Hesa's advice. At least in this way, he could tell how Dita really felt about him. Consider it his last step before actually choosing to let Dita go.

"Ta, tumben guy you're not nyamperin here. Marahan, huh?" tiara asked Dita. His gaze shifted on the empty classroom door. Usually at this hour there will always be a man standing there with his special grin.

"What, anyway, Ti? I don't have a guy. If you mean lo Yohan, I have forbidden to say so," replied Dita lazily without lifting the view of the novel.

"Huh? Seriously? He told you to forbid it? No way, ah! Or he didn't go in time, huh? It hurt?" tiara said more to herself.

Dita who heard Tiara's assumption immediately stopped reading. Also true. Yohan is not the kind of person who is easy to obey. Dita had previously forbidden Yohan from giving her sweets, but she did. Is Yohan really sick? Suddenly, Dita was worried.

Back at school, Dita immediately set foot into the art room. Today, he has extracurricular activities. If Yohan is really sick, then she should be absent today—Yohan and Dita join in the same extracurricular.

Upon entering the art room, his neutrals immediately scoured all over the room to look for the whereabouts of a person. His eyes were then locked onto the figure of the man chatting with a friend next to him. There was a slight feeling of surprise when he saw the man was fine. Even so without Dita noticing, he heaved a sigh of relief before sitting on an empty bench that was a bit far away from the man earlier.

All the extra activities went well as usual, but not for Dita who felt disturbed because of something. Yohan, the man who was always chasing her turned 180 degrees today. At break time, he didn't come to his class to bring a lollipop or anything. Then now, the man looked like he had deliberately avoided her and was acting uncaring. Complete is the disappointment that is felt.

Wait, why is he disappointed now because of Yohan's different behavior? Shouldn't he be happy that nothing else would interfere with his quiet days? But why exactly the opposite happened? Dita could not hide her feelings so it was clearly imprinted on her face.

At the same time, Yohan occasionally kept glancing at Dita from the first time the girl entered the room to the present. He could see clearly that Dita was not in a good mood. It felt like Yohan had come closer and asked the reason behind her pouting face, but she couldn't possibly do it now. Isn't there an important mission he has to do? It's not funny that everything has to end just because he can't help but keep cuckooing his heart.

Thousands of days passed

All the ways I've been through

To take your heart

But it wasn't that easy

Gifts never please you

My presence doesn't curl a smile on your lips

Even so, I'm still chasing you

Wishing you to be mine

Someday

But now tired of gnawing at the heart

Should I stop and confess?

It's not me you want

I'm backing off slowly

Trying to break hope

Drown all memories

Burying deep a feeling

^^^When is that?^^^

^^^ Disappointment is inevitable^^

^^^As a result of hope that is always broken^^

^^^There is a sense of loss, also of longing^^^

^^^What is he?^^^

^^^His own security?^^^

^^^Cintakah himself?^^^

^^^On that person^^

Yes, Dita knows that now she likes the man. Yohan had been ignoring him for a week. A week more Dita felt a loss that always sad her heart. He doesn't know how to. It felt really frustrating because there was no way he could reduce the pain in his heart.

However, all of a sudden, even on the 14th day, Yohan suddenly appears on her class doorstep during the second break. He came again after quite a while while still carrying a lollipop in his hand. Inwardly, Dita cheered happily and was eager to smile. However, for the sake of his own prestige, he tried desperately to hold back a smile and still maintain his flat face.

Dita approached Yohan with gontai steps. Actually, he was eager to prance around and hug the man tightly, but again the prestige was too high to show it all.

"Hi? It's been a while, huh? Not kangen?" asked Yohan with a typical grin that had not been seen for a long time.

"No kangen, tuh. Why come here again?" dita tried not to care.

Without cue, Dita was immediately held tightly by the man in front of her making Dita sculpt. "Don't pretend to be. Yesterday I heard myself you said kangen same me. I'm starting to like it, aren't I?" yohan said, still hugging the girl who was shorter than him.

Dita's face instantly heated up. Did Yohan hear his curses on Tiara in the library yesterday?

"Yes, yesterday I came home from school I stopped by the bus first, continue to be horrified curhatan you," continued Yohan as if he knew what Dita thought.

Hearing that, Dita felt her face getting hotter. He was so embarrassed that he unconsciously hid his face on the chest of the field of the man who was still holding him at this time. Unfortunately, Yohan immediately let go of her embrace. Both of his hands turned to hold both shoulders of Dita who was reluctant to look at Yohan's face.

"That means I still have a chance, right?" ask Yohan to make sure.

Samar, he saw Dita nodding her head. Yohan felt like she was illuminated by a green light to the point of almost glare. He again clutched tightly to his heart while closing his eyes because of the explosive feeling of pleasure. I think Yohan can cry right now. Whereas, being hugged can only withstand embarrassment with a hand that is still hesitant whether to return the hug or not.
