What the hell?



Seeing Gwera heading towards the garden table while carrying a plate of food, made Haru think of buying the same food as Gwera. So that there is a reason when haru approached Gwera. But Haru is confused when it comes to choosing what foods he will buy.


"Bang, buy the food for a portion. Just like the girl bought it yeah". Haru ordered his food while pointing towards Gwera. Without knowing what was sent by Gwera earlier.


" Good mas, waahhh mas know neng Gwera too huh?" bang Tono tries to feel stale with Haru, but unfortunately Haru's view is only on Gwera. And bang Tono did not mind the question that Haru ignored.


"This is the order is ready" said bang Tono while handing over a plate of siomay to Haru.


"Oh ok bang, what's the total bang?"


"Rp 10,000.00 mas". replied bang Tono.


" How cheap is it? I bought a plate here". Haru was astonished by the price of the food he bought. " Well, is that the price of this food? is this food safe? but if it's not safe, something will happen to Gwera. Don't Sakura also often buy food like this?" Inner Haru and remembered with his sister.


"Yes mas, it is cheap so that school children can remain snack. All of which are here at the same price kok mas. most expensive Rp10,000.00, if there are school students whose pocket money is not a problem for us to give our snacks for free. We are not rich, we are just trying to understand their situation, because we have also been in a difficult situation. Until there was an angel who would help and help us out of that situation". Bang Tono's story on Haru. Bang Tono told me while looking at Gwera who was working on something while occasionally eating the siomay that Gwera bought earlier.


"Nih people tell me while looking at Gwera anyway? what intentions? but how does his eyes look like that? what does this have to do with Gwera? ah it is impossible, what can school children do to the siomay builder? mending I quickly pay his siomay and approach Gwera. Before Sakura and her friend Gwera finish their OSIS meeting". Inner Haru, and of course haru had no small fractional money on his wallet. So he gave money Rp 50, 000.00 to bang Tono without asking for change. "Yes bang I want to pay, sorry bang I do not bring small fractional money. It's back for my brother." And Haru rushed over to Gwera.


Bang Tono who received the money was still somewhat confused by the behavior of the buyer. But he still thanked Haru. "Eh really mas? thank you, I hope the luck is good." Shouted bang Tono.


Haru walked over and looked back for a moment at the cry of bang Tono, he gave a small nod and kept passing. He was already impatient to chat with Gwera, or at least just be near Gwera. After he was next to Gwera, he tried to talk to her by asking if she could sit on the bench next to him.


"May I sit on the empty bench next to you?"


Long time no reply from Gwera, he only occasionally nodded and shook his head. Haru is confused by Gwera's answer. Because he does not know if Gwera is listening to music from his old mobile phone that he keeps on his shirt, then Haru considers if Gwera allows him to sit on the bench next to him. But before sitting down Haru patted Gwera's shoulder to greet Gwera so as not to awkwardly chat because since then he was just silent.


"Eh?.... oh.... What's wrong, brother?" asked Gwera who was shocked by the pat on the shoulder from Haru, she had thought that Nara had finished her meeting quickly and examined her. But it turned out that it was the brother of his friend who patted him on the shoulder.


"I want to dudi next to you, here empty". replied Haru in a cold tone, but in his mind said all the words of swear to himself for his attitude that jutek because of nervous.


After more than 15 minutes they ate together (at least that's what Haru thought, because actually Gwera eats while working on proposals and still listen to music from her headset with the assumption that there is no one around her to be more concerned about doing her job), and she is still listening to music from her headset, Haru tries to get Gwera to talk about what she's doing. But Gwera who is still consenting seems to be uninterrupted, making Haru secretly pay close attention to Gwera. Hair that is not too long but looks smooth ponytailed, middle bangs that expand, eyes that are narrow when staring down but wide when staring forward, nose sharp even though small, and small, tiny pink lips with a thin, thick top on the bottom, beautiful face. Coupled with a small but contained body, not thin or fat. Perfect, that's what Haru thinks of Gwera.


Gwera feels constantly noticed by someone, so she looks for the origin of the gaze and ends what she is doing. And he just remembered that from earlier the person sitting next to him was Haru, the older brother of his friend. With a glance Gwera asked Haru what Haru did.


"What are you doing?" Ask Gwera while tidying up the laptop and sample proposal into the bag.


Haru who was shocked by Gwera's question paused for a moment and thought, not thinking about the answer to be given, but thinking about the call Gwera made to him. And he also remembered about the thing that happened at the soto stall yesterday. Yes, it was indeed his own fault for saying such a cold word. But he did not expect that Gwera would call him 'you' because he had called Haru with the call 'brother' when Haru just approached him.


Gwera whose questions never answered by Haru was indifferent to Haru's stone-like attitude. Finished tidying up his luggage, Gwera checked the clock in his hand and stared at the school gate. "Said the meeting was just a moment, it's been 20 minutes more. Huuuhhh wind is breezy, adem also here. So sleepy". Thought Gwera who felt sleepy and bored waiting for Nara to come home. Regardless of the person next to him who was surly.


" Why are you calling me that?" haru asks Gwera because Gwera doesn't seem to want to talk to him if he doesn't start a conversation.


"Why?" An answer that is certainly not satisfactory for a Haru.


"I asked why did you call me 'you'? why not 'sister'?" Haru still demanded a definite answer.


"You said that I was 'another' to Sakura. So I treat you as 'another'. And since you are older than me, then I try to stay polite by calling you 'you'. You remember that, right? you yourself consider me someone else, so I follow your will by calling you 'you', not 'sister'. Because you and I aren't that close to being 'brothers and sisters'." Gwera replied in a calm voice and kept smiling, thus making Haru feel regretful with her words yesterday. Now he knows a little about Gwera, that Gwera is not a person who can be underestimated even with just words.


The regretful Haru wanted to try to ask Gwera to call him 'brother', so as not to be too far away that he had to remove later to get closer to Gwera.


"Hmm then I apologize, if my words yesterday offended you. So now you can call me 'sister' again.


" I refuse. It would be better if I stayed in formal language with you. After all it is more convenient in my opinion, because after all I and you have never been familiar, even from the beginning we met you have considered me a troublemaker. Don't you?" Gwera answered with a smile, as if she never thought it was important.


While Haru who was asked felt his disgrace exposed, as if his secret was revealed just like that by a traitor. (Who would be the traitor if not Sakura?). " Waahh this must be Sakura's work, he must have talked to Gwera about me calling Gwera a troublemaker. Does the child not want to support his brother what the hell? Pack on aduin all over again".


Haru's disheveled mind makes him more tense because of excessive thinking, even though Gwera just sat down casually and closed her eyes (aka sleep).
