The Treason of First Love

Chapter 21. Art Stage

"Relie!! Comeup! Shower, breakfast, ready - ready. You said you had to be at 6:00 by school." As usual this morning my mother woke me up with a loud scream.

"Hmmmmm, you're still sleepy."I answered while covering my face with a pillow.

"Ri, let's get up. You want to perform, he said, so you have to come to school in the morning." You arrived - suddenly entered the room with a shake - shake my body.

"Astaghfirullah's.." I woke up jumping out of bed.

"It's 5 o'clock past, you haven't prayed at dawn either. Old bath. ayoo." The father with the dabar woke me up without nagging like mama hahaha..

"Yes." Yeah."I rushed straight to the bath, prayed dawn and prepared - ready.

"Nobody misses, bother later back home." Mama said while she packed provisions for me.

"God does not exist. I left. Doain the show was smooth. Assalamualaikum.."I kissed my hand and went to rush into the car and Sudsh was waiting for me in the car.

"Goddessalam. Be careful, be careful.." Mama answered while waving her hands.

Then he honked his horn at my mom, a sign that we were about to leave.

On the way to school, I was always given advice by my father. To not be lazy to wake up in the morning, do not wait for mama to nag first new to do the task or pray. And many more. But the father was patient, he advised me without scolding me. Even his manner of speech was very gentle, never snapping at his only daughter. My first love was my dream. May Yori be like her father. 

"Oh yes sir I'm down, Assalamualaikum." I said goodbye, kissed my father's hand and got off the car.

"Goddessalam....Yes, heart - heart.. Good luck with your show. I will be home at what time my mother or your father. You don't go home, you keep it until tomorrow." 

"Yeah...." I got out of the car while running because I seemed to be too late because of the bad luck of waking up. Because the clock has shown at 6:10 am.

Enjoying the cool air at my school in the morning is great... I am grateful to be able to attend school in the Halim area since Junior High, because here there is very little pollution because there are many shady trees. 

"Here comes the new hero." Welcome Ka Beno in front of the door of the drumband room.

"Astaghfirullah Ka's... Ma ma I'm sorry aa I'm 10 minutes late.. I'm bad luck, geez." I replied while panting. 

"Emang you like it so ah, calm - calm.not to come to the other. Just doang same with us - we are the coach. Ka Fero, I, Titi, Gita, Romi and Oji. Temen - temen lo not yet on dateng nih." Ka Beno.

"God I think I'm late Ka. It must be on this ngaret mah." 

"Tuh tuh leng si Lani sama Yori." Show Ka Fero towards them.

I'm surprised they came together, and they kind of stuck together. But after they saw me Lani was misbehaving and walked a bit away from Yori.

"For Ri..." Sapa Lani with a stiff.

"Yeah. You're with Yori?" Sinister manyu.

"Eh hmm not really, it was just the same with Yori. I've been taken by Bokap." But the look on his face turned red.

"Eh, you came to Ri. Very hard to work with.." Sahut Yori who arrived suddenly gave me a smile and rubbed my head.

"Yuk ready - ready to come, help me finish the tools. Bring it forward. So that later it will be easy to perform." Timpal Ka Beno to break the atmosphere rather stiff.

I immediately rushed to change clothes and was ready - ready to tidy up the melodic tools such as pianika and bells. And Lani was busy cleaning up the sticks - sticks and flags to put on. Then Yori also began busy tidying up tools - percussion tools. 

"Is everything Ri?" Ka Fero asked as he patted my shoulder. 

"Udah Ka's. I'll go to the toilet for a second.." I answered and hurried away.

"okay.. Don't be long - long. Let's have a briefing first." Shouted Ka Beno.

I was crying but my tears were held back, I was a sensitive woman. Seeing something that just pisses me off could want to cry. I feel like Lani and Yori are hiding something from me. 

"R. Yaampun very pretty anyway you wear gini clothes." The pee was in the toilet too.

"Eh Pipit, you are also very beautiful. Deg degan will not want to perform at his own school. If there's an event outside of us, nobody knows." 

"Yeah, where are many upperclassmen. Shame on nihhh.." Pipit's face reddened because Pipit is actually his shy son. 

"We pray, Pit, hopefully smoothly when we perform."

"Woy! What are you both doing in the toilet? Here's buru! We want a briefing before the show." Ka Beno called us from a distance.

Then we without answering immediately rushed towards Ka Beno and the others for a briefing. With a pounding heart and a cold body, I try not to be nervous when performing later.

"Where is ajasih?" Yori was like nagging me.

"Huh? I was from Yor's toilet." 

"Please open the buttons of my shirt dong. This I'm not sampein' until the back of my hand." Yori while holding my hand and positioning my hand onto her back.

"R...." Ka Gery greeted me with a smile. 

"Oh yes Ka..." Then Yori immediately held my hand in front of them as if giving a sign that we were already dating. 

I saw clearly Ka Putra's gaze back then, really sharp as me and Yori joined hands. And I saw Ka Gery face like she was surprised and like she was talking about me with other friends. Let it go, I don't care about them. Because now I have Yori protecting me. 

***

It's time for the drumband to perform and I hope there's not the slightest mistake. Even if there is a mistake may not be seen with the others. I'd love to show my best for Class 12's farewell. 

"READY?!" Shouted Ka Beno. 

The songs we perform are old songs because the new songs will be displayed in MOS later. 

I feel that his friends Ka Putra really highlighted in my direction like really paying attention. 

After we finished performing all the cheering clapped like gasps at our performance. 

"Cieeee finally finished yaa guys. God's Job!" Proudly Ka Fero shouted at us behind the drumband room. 

"Makasi ya appearance today is very good original. All sampe to applause. Crazy cool you guys!" Ka Beno also flattered our performance.

"Eat - eat us yuk." Lani Sahut.

"Heh eat in front of a lot of food sales. The pension show is still long until night guys." Answer Ka Titi.

"Oiya I want to jajan first ah..." My answer.

"Fuck." Sahut Pipit's.

Others have disbanded to change clothes and some have been to the cafeteria and even standby in front of the field to watch children dance and cheerleaders perform. 

"There was a Son?" Ask Yori while embracing me.

"Yes, look at it yourself. That's why you took my hand." 

"Well, you're the same as me now." 

"Yeah, yuk ahead we snack." I answered while pinching his stomach.

"Aw.. not ah expensive for sure, buy in the cafeteria aja yuk." Take Yori while holding back and pull my hand.

"Ihhhhh.. Yes yes I'm going to get."

After we ate in the cafeteria, I was curious about the food sold in the pension. And it was a long day, a show until night. I'm waiting for the show to finish, it's over at 23:00 p.m. Really exhausting. 

"Lo how the reverse is Ri, it's so malem." Yori.

"Yaudah easy Yor, I used to ride the angkot at this hour anyway. You also can't help me, right??" Reply annoyed. I want to see Yori's sacrifice, whether she wants to take me home or not.

"Yes I can not anterin lo lah, lo home far Ri. I just lived in Jakarta." 

"But can't Lani?" Answer me again in a high tone.

"Well, she's Ri's house, don't be weird - that's the question." Yori always doesn't want to know where my house is.

"Eh you two why the hell is it so noisy?" Ka Beno Sahut.

"Father Ka, I'm back..Turn it all around." I don't want to think anymore, I'm really upset with Yori. I came home last night but he wouldn't try to drive me home.

"Lohs. Yor? Seriously is that girl you turned back by herself at this hour? Crazy you huh?" Ka Beno was angry with Yori.

"R..... Lo with Joni ajaa, it's in the direction of you both home." Shouted Ka Beno.

"Bright.. The Yori didn't?" Ask Ka Fero.

"About. Same with Joni." Ka Beno replied annoyed.

"Gimanasih lo Ri man, yaudah here with me. Pinjem helmet dong Bang." Ka Joni is a senior drumband of the Ka Titi force.

I tried to hold back my tears, again. Yori was right - it was so outrageous. He made me want to cry a few times but was always held back.

"Prophe Ri... You're back with me." Ka Joni replied while patting my shoulder slowly.

All the way home I just kept quiet and cried without making a sound. I don't want Ka Joni to know I'm crying. My sisters at school were all kind enough to pay attention to me, but my own boyfriend was indifferent to me. Painful.
