THIRD PERSON

episode 3

Mira stared into Willy's dark-black bead as well as Willy who kept staring at Mira without blinking. The smiles of the two did not stop expanding. The noisy classroom atmosphere is not a barrier for the two gender-different friends to keep staring at each other.

“Aish! Fucking”

Mira grumbled and pursed her lips in annoyance. Clear crystals shot out from his clear eyes.

“You lost again”

Willy flanked the old Mira's nose, until the girl's nose left a reddened mark on her white facial skin.

“I lost because there was a wind passing by without permission”

Mira returned upset. Just imagine, more than five times Mira and Willy did a face-to-face contest without blinking and during that time also Mira who always lost. And Willy always managed to make his nose blush perfectly like a tomato.

“Thank you if you lose, don't blame the wind. Any part where there is wind passing by excuse me first”

Willy pinched Mira's cheeks in a fit of anxiety, his best friend always making Willy anxious all day, plus Mira's round cheeks full of fat.

“Aish, FUCKING WILLY!!”

Mira curses in annoyance, while the troublemaker has run away and sticks his tongue out at Mira from a distance. Willy was finally no longer seen, Mira who was curious why her best friend did not appear again finally walked towards the classroom door, her head was stretched out to the end.

“ULAR!!”

Mira immediately pranced and jumped in any direction. His heart was pumping a thousand times faster than usual. Mira finally ventured to open her eyes and hold her neck that was circled by something. His fingers deftly removed and threw away the toy snake that Willy had put around his neck earlier.

“WILLY BATARA, DAMAK”

Mira throws the toy snake in any direction and Oliv who witnessed the hilarious events of the two friends in the morning immediately picked up Willy's toy snake and swung it in front of Mira's eyes.

“CIEE, who is only dating early in the morning. What is the power of this Isyana dedek that is single”

Mira glanced at Oliv, who was putting on a clear look. Isyana Dedek? Anyway, the time of the top singer is equated with baby bokantan like Oliv. Mira immediately shuddered in horror at Oliv's blood level that was getting worse and worse.

“Sabar ya Liv, God's ordeal is heavy. But you must not go crazy at the age of seventeen. I don't want to have a friend whose sanity level is below the average”

“I'm not shy Mira, a lot of people who say I look like Isyana. My mom said I was like that. Yesterday, there were twelve people who said I looked like Isyana. Bayangin twelve people”

Oliv followed in the footsteps of Mira who was already sitting in her chair. If Mira continues to respond to Oliv's blood level of ingrained can-can the child overdose a high level of piety.

“As you are Liv, some of you are aj”

Oliv snatched an upset and immediately put his bag on the chair next to Mira.

“But your tumben is late Liv? usually you also open the gate, so diligently go to school early in the morning”

Oliv did not respond angrily to Mira's excessive jokes, instead Oliv felt proud to be a diligent child who always came early to school even the school guard was lost quickly came from Oliv, the house is only a few meters from the school.

“I'm out to the principal's room”

Mira looked at Oliv with a demanding gaze, she needed clarity on the sentence Oliv said.

“My old friend who was my neighbor yesterday came from Jakarta and planned to settle down and attend school here. So early this morning I drove him to the principal's room, but he hasn't come yet. Because I'm a good person, so I asked my friend to wait for the principal until he came. This is the story of Mira kepo”

Mira just rounded her mouth and said the vowel O slowly. Oliv then nodded and took out an Indonesian textbook that they would study at the first hour.

Mira smiled as she continued to see Oliv's movements busy arranging all his writing equipment on the table, honestly Mira was very happy to know creatures like Oliv. While other friends are busy reading posts on Facebook, instagram or Twitter Oliv is the only friend who is most anti with the name of a social and instead choose textbooks and novels as his loyal friends. According to Mira, Oliv is one of a million unique humans. And he was grateful to get to know Oliv and be his best friend.

“Later to introduce you, same Keira”

“Keira?”

Oliv nodded and then offered a small photo to Mira.

“This is Keira, as a child and this is me. We used to be best friends, but after her Papa was transferred to Jakarta Keira and I rarely met. But until now we are still friends”

Mira then nodded and returned the photo to Oliv. The second conversation was finally not heard again when the first lesson hour bell had begun.

...

“You're serious?”

The sentence from Oliv was able to make Mira round her eyes and look surprised at the clothed girl.

“Iya, two more days there will be HI5 concert here Ra!!”

Oliv made a sentence emphasis at the end of his words, when he saw the look of disbelief from his best friend.

“Di Bogor?”

“Not, but on the planet Mars. Yes, it is in Bogor. What are we now living on another planet?”

Now Mira is engrossed in fantasies and imagines herself in the midst of humans who watch the concert of the famous band from Bogor. HI5 band that Mira knows very well and memorizes its history. Starting from the beginning of the year, month, and date of formation, the names of each member, and all the songs that have been in the production of the band.

“I have to buy the ticket Liv, memenin I now to the place of ticket sale, I have to how, we buy the ticket where? Oliv come cepetan”

Oliv rubbed his temple slowly and looked at Mira listlessly. His best friend was always like this when it comes to things related to HI5 band, his spirit immediately went out somewhere.

“Slow Ra, your cute friend, has prepared something special for you”

Mira sat back down and noticed Oliv's movements. His heart is still beating recklessly now, let alone the shadow of the five HI5 personnel who suddenly control his mind. Looks like Mira just wants to fly into space like this.

“TARA!”

Oliv succeeded in making Mira stunned and almost fainted, so quickly his heart beat. Two sheets of paper in Oliv's hand made Mira shed tears, because she was moved.

“This makes you”

Two HI5 concert tickets were transferred to Mira.

“You're serious Liv?”

“That's it, my brother bought some tickets yesterday and because he was so happy that we and our family got the ticket rations, he said, but since the parents in my house are the most anti-same as loud music. Hence all tickets are given to me”

Mira is engrossed in embracing the ticket into her arms and considers Oliv's sentence to be just a last breeze. Oliv who saw the behavior of Mira can only look resigned to his best friend who is now a spectacle of school residents. How not to be a spectacle, since the presence of the two creatures the atmosphere of the cafeteria that was a bit quiet was immediately filled by mass chatter from both. If Oliv who is chatty anyway it is common for other children, but if the girl who was as good as it was Mira who incidentally is the most calm student then another story.

“Better, you quickly finish your meatballs Ra, or else you will starve for a whole day and your stomach will act again like three days ago”

Mira who had been focused on staring without blinking two pieces of concert tickets in her hands became lost passion for life. The embarrassing incident three days ago instantly overshadowed his mind. How not to be embarrassed, when the class again silence Mira's stomach even act and cause a sound of hunger that is quite loud.

“Iya, yes”

Mira then devours some of the meatballs still in her bowl. The shameful shadow she had experienced a few days ago was instantly replaced with a small smile from her lips. The two tickets that Oliv gave him fit once, for the one person he would take to the HI5 concert three days away. Who else would he ask if not Willy. Imagining Willy's smile accompanied by a shocked expression instantly made Mira smile to herself now.

“Wait for me, Wil. In three days we'll go see HI5 concert our favorite band both”

...

Mira manages to catch her breath, as she runs at full speed towards the classroom inhabited by Willy, her best friend. After reaching his eyes busy looking for the existence of the glasses guy in class, but what even Mira saw was a bunch of boys who were engrossed in playing guitar while singing.

“Eh no Mira, find Willy ya Ra?”

“Iya Nan, did you see Willy?”

Kenan who knows Mira is my friend Willy, approached her and immediately invited Mira out of class while holding her fingers.

“Pepet terrace!!”

“Suit. Soan aja”

“Gas keep Nan, don't get in tikung mine!!”

The screams from Kenan's friends made Mira rub his ears gently with one hand.

“Sorry my friends like to be smashed by the way. That's why I brought you here”

Mira just nodded and let go of her fingers which were still tightly grasped by Kenan.

“Willy to her boyfriend's same perpus earlier, sent back in the same package book bu Tika”

“Pacar?”

Kenan nodded while looking at Mira with a gentle expression as usual. Though Mira knew Kenan was cold, like ice cubes cooled at the north pole. Especially if the same girls who are coquettishly Kenan must immediately isolate themselves from the place filled by girls like that.

“This is my thought, Ra. You see that from I saw Willy this time very deket same girls, in addition to lo”

Seeing Mira who was silent without returning his words, Kenan also held Mira's shoulders slowly.

“Ra, you like yes Willy?”

Kenan's question sentence successfully made Mira put on a shocked expression and released both of Kenan's hands from her shoulders. Why Kenan can think like that, but he always insists to anyone who asks about his closeness with Willy is only a good friend, no more and no less.

“No, where might I like my own best friend. I want to catch Willy first. Thanks infonya”

Mira waved her hand and ran away leaving Kenan still standing in his place.

“Lo is beautiful Ra, unfortunately everyone who wants to deket, so back off after knowing that you like Willy, and I include those people. And even worse, you do not even realize that you are now even trapped friendzone” syndrome

Kenan looked at Mira who was still running, under the heat of the sun. Sometimes love is complicated, but do you know what's more complicated than love? That is, a heart that wants to survive even in painful conditions.
