A few days after the first day of my office. This afternoon after work, I stopped by the city library for a bit. I haven't seen that place in nearly a month.
“Hai, Ma'am Kezi,” I smile at a woman's 30-year-old desk clerk visits the library.
“Loh, Sophia? You haven't been here long. More beautiful,” praise Mbak Kezi to me.
I responded with my best smile.
Me and Ma'am Kezi are pretty familiar. Since living with Bulik Susan and Mini, I have often visited the city library there. I also donated some of my reading books at the place. Therefore, I can be close to Mbak Kezi who has served there for a long time.
“Mbak, I read first, yes,” my farewell to Mbak Kezi.
Ma'am Kezi smiled, then gave her right thumb.

I took out an office work manual, then put it on the desk. I sat down, then checked my phone for a second.
A whatsapp message from Mini I read.
Mini : I'm home, right? Where else now?
Sophia : Yes. It's stopping by at the city bus.
Mini : Have lunch?
Sophia : Yes. Prayers too.
This Mini does not usually care until I think it is the same. He's not sick anymore, is he? I'm amazed.
Mini: There are those who miss the same lo, nih.
Sophia: Who? The elo?
Mini: Juna King of the Universe!
I chuckled thinly. A juna? I actually want to see it too. But where's mugkin? The fact that we never got in touch with the SMS was a little painful for me. I would have refused to give my phone contact to Juna.
I put my phone back in my bag and started reading books.
Just read 15 minutes and my eyes are sleepy. Of course I'm exhausted. After work I should have rested at home, but this I instead increased the burden of the brain by force.
I closed the book and put my head to the table. I fell asleep and let time just go.
Right after I woke up, I started to see a wall clock in the library. At 3pm. Oh, my God, I must've slept long enough.
And when I started to wake up. There, on my right side, I saw Juna closed his eyes facing towards me. The man used his hands as a head pillow on the table.
I approached Juna. I smiled at Juna's face which was like energy to me. She fell asleep cute.
I close my lips to Juna's ears. "Juna," my paggil whispered. "June...."
Suddenly, Juna was surprised to push me almost up from the chair. But swiftly, Juna grabbed my waist catching him.
Juna and I looked at each other. And of course my heart was pounding incoherently inside.
“So sweet really, Ma'am, Mas,” scolds a teenage boy Junior at us chuckles.
I quickly moved away from Juna. I set my breath to normalize the heartbeat.
“Lo really go home from work instead of sleeping at home even in the city, anyway?” juna asked me suddenly.
How did he know I just got back from work straight to the city library? Can't Mini tell him again?
“Like me, dong.” I answered Juna.
“Oh, yes. Your jacket is still the same as mine, huh. I forgot about that time. Do I leave it to Mini tomorrow to be given to you?”
Juna seemed to think for a moment. “Lo take it first. Later if I tell you to lo balikin new lo balikin,” he said.
I'm nodding.
Juna seemed to pick up something in his backpack, then suddenly thrust his phone at me. “Now can ask for your number, right?” tanyakanya.
I didn't expect Juna to ask for it again. I smiled, then typed my phone number into Juna's phone. When I finished, I returned the Samsung smartphone to him.
Juna glanced at me for a bit, then started naming my phone contacts. I was wondering what he named my contact. But it's up to him, huh. Sophia or something, I don't care.
“Lo what to do now?” ask Juna.
“You go home.”
“OK, yuk!” exciting Juna.
“Yuk?”
“Yuk home,” details.
I think he wants me to come home. But not useful either, anyway. I came here with my own motorbike. I put my shoulders down and walked away.
Juna seemed to start following me.
“Mbak Kezi, I want to borrow this book, dong,”, I said while presenting a dark blue book entitled Office Work Guide to Mbak Kezi.
“Oke.” Ma'am Kezi started taking notes on my loan card as well as the agenda book there.
“Udah?” juna asked me who was also waiting at the table to visit the library.
“Udah.” I smiled at him as I put the book in my bag.
“Mbak Kezi, I first, yes.” I'm bawling.
“OK. Careful, Sophia.” Ma'am Kezi smiled at me.
“Mari, Mbak,” greet Juna friendly on Mbak Kezi.
And we went to the front yard of the parking lot of the city library.
“Lo want me to go home?” bargain Juna with me. Surely he meant, he followed me from behind on his bike.
“Neventless. It's still afternoon, though. The road is still safe.” I smiled at Juna.
Juna took a step forward smilingly rubbing my crown for a moment. I was still surprised. It was the first time I had been treated like that. Yang Juna ruffled my hair, but that broke my heart.
“Entar malem I video call how?” Juna looked at me grinning.
“Gue busy.” I answered, then quickly got on the bike and left.
I don't want to keep looking wrong in front of Juna. In addition to saving my pride, I also wanted to save my heart that felt almost dislodged. From now on the gaping-jedug danced inside.

Tonight I was typing a story on my laptop. Mini also approached me who was sitting on the wooden chair of my special study table. And Mini sat in her own study chair, and then she started to notice my typing.
“Eh, pause, deh. That's what Juna is all about, huh?” Mini staggered at my writing, then looked at me.
“Kok, so is Juna his name? It should be June.” I was also amazed.
Mini laughs. “Friends are going to be bucin now. Focus, Sophia..., focus!!!” his teasing still laughs at me.
I immediately saved my typing file, turned off the laptop, and closed it.
“Ni, Juna is like how about on campus?” ask me about Mini.
Mini walks with her cell phone, then puts her body to sleep on a mattress. “So the praise materials of campus children. He's handsome and doesn't seem too interested in girls.” Answer Mini.
I chuckle. Juna who likes mode to me that ‘looks not too interested so to gian’??? “Lo seriously? Just so you know, yeah. Juna is like a playboy pro player. He was like already very adept at girl temptation,” obviously I deny to Mini.
“Serious me!!! You still want Dinda, right?” Mini looked at me, and I nodded. “Yang as beautiful as she was just dicuekin with Juna,” he continued.
I put on a cengo face. “Dinda likes Juna?” ask me curious, but why does it feel hot gini, huh?
“Yes, don't know either, anyway. He was the subject of the temptations of the men there. But what I wonder anyway, why is he like a sok-nempel like that to Juna?”
“And you know, Phi. Children also know a lot about lo because of the incident Juna sang on the stage of First Day Campus. I don't know if I want it.” Mini wettest.
I also approached Mini banging him with bolsters.
“Ampunnnn....!!!” mini is still laughing.
I let out a long sigh, then put my body on the bed.
“BTW, earlier Juna pinjem HP I made whatsapp lo bentar. She just what?” I asked Mini.
I'm still lola aka loading old. “Whatsapp me?” I'm amazed.
“Iya. That afternoon.”
I sat down, and then I took my phone. I went back to checking whatsapp messages from Mini this afternoon when I was in the city library.
Earlier,
Mini : I'm home, right? Where else now?
Sophia : Yes. It's stopping by at the city bus.
Mini : Have lunch?
Sophia : Yes. Prayers too.
Mini: There are those who miss the same lo, nih.
Sophia: Who? The elo?
Mini: Juna King of the Universe!
I reread that message. Mini snatched my phone all of a sudden. He read my chat with Juna who was twitching himself.
“Cie cie..., some miss, nih. Wh who? Juna!” the Mini Goda laughed at me.
I immediately reclaimed my phone, then deleted the messages one by one. But suddenly, my fingers reflexively raised a video call from an unknown number.
I was shocked and immediately slammed my HP into the bed.
"Hi, Sophia...."
"Sophia? How, the picture's dark, anyway?" said someone from the phone video.
Me and Mini froze. I walked slowly, raising the video call and shone the camera in my face.
I smiled awkwardly. “H-hai,” my sap is nervous.
“Again lo?” ask Juna.
That rancid kid took this video call seriously??? Time and place are not right. Mini there seemed to laugh at me very satisfied even without making his voice.
“Gue, I'm busy. Uda, yeah. I'm matiin ni.”
“Eh, jerk!” Juna. “Don't forget to save my number.”
“Iya-iya. I'll save, though. Udah, yes.”
Juna smiled there. “Malem, Sophia. Don't forget to dream about me later. See you...”.
I didn't answer Juna to quickly turn off the video call. I slammed the body into the mattress ruffling the blanket between embarrassment and goosebumps.
Mini meningbruku. “Cie, pie, pie…. My dream is yes, Sophia,” her god tickles me.

After a tiring struggle, Mini and I lay on their backs in the bed.
“But how can Juna be different like that to lo? He's on that cake. While on campus, he could be as cute as a girl,” oceh Mini astonished.
“Juna also cuek same lo?” I looked at Mini.
Mini still staring at the ceiling. He shrugged his shoulders while he was slashing. “It's not funny anyway if it's the same I.” He looked at me. “But he likes nanyain lo.”
“Certain, according to lo how?”
Mini inched her body to face me. “Fix!!! Juna likes lo!”
“Why should I?”
“Ya, ask your own person.”
“Keep that he really likes me, I have to do?”
Mini patted his eel. “Yes, if you also like it and you both like it, go for a relationship, lah...”.
I close my lips in silence. I sat down and took my phone. I went back to check my new whatsapp call log. There, Juna's number that I haven't saved I noticed.
One sec. Two seconds. Three seconds. I also kept Juna's phone number hesitated.
How can storing a mobile number alone be this fun? Juna, the only foreigner whose cell phone number I kept in my phone contact. Because in my contact, there are only two male numbers that I have, the father number, and Bimo's sister, Karina's husband.
“Phi,” call Mini makes me turn to her.
“Gue believes Juna can be the right person for you. Keep a good relationship with him. Korek a lot of information if you are together again,” said Mini.
I fell silent, then looked back at my phone.
I'm not a hypocrite. I know I have feelings for Juna. Remember, that guy always makes me float around because of the baper.
And me, I'm always pounding with it. But, is Juna also like that with me? Is she also pounding silly if I act sweet-ass to her? Does he like me?
Juna the King of the Universe, that man is still very mysterious to me. Distinctive attitude. Is it true what Mini said about Juna? She can be someone warm to me, but seems indifferent to other girls. Juna, what kind of man are you? [ ]
