Dul
089. News From Annisa

It turned out that what Bara said earlier was true. Annisa did turn to the pharmacy. Dul could see Annisa with her long, straight hair standing on her back to the street. The girl was talking to a woman behind a glass steling.

“Come, get off Dul. Don't let Nisa hunt finished.” Heru lowered his head to watch over Annisa. “We're all waiting here. Don't be ashamed of it. Men need to understand each other. My father is also supportive. Yeah, right, Dad?” Heru pulled out Bara's arm next to her.

“Because curious it is not good,” replied Bara who is now looking out the window.

“I'm down now,” said Dul, hurry out of the car and half run to the pharmacy.

Three pairs of eyes observed Dul who had just arrived next to Annisa. Both stand side by side.

“Indeed this Nisa is not the same class as Dul, Bin?” ask Bara who is starting to be curious.

“Jawab is correct, Bin. This is what senior journalists are. You as a source must be credible.” He looked back at Robin.

“Makjang,” muttered Robin, uphold his seat. “Trip …. I'm sorry, yes Dul.” Robin looked out the window.

Heru chuckled, while Bara held back a smile looking at Robin who had prepared his serious look.

“The full name of Annisa, Bara's father, Pakdhe,” Robin looked at Bara and Heru alternately, “then Annisa's classmate Dul and Putra in the Middle Ages. I don't know. But, the situation was the same time as it was now. Annisa transfer student. He said, Annisa this is a cuek time. I never had a girl friend at school. Come to school just to learn..”.

“You came to school not only to learn?” Heru laughed a little.

“Ih, not anyway. Studying hard any time, I'm not pande-pande. So, why am I diligent-craftsman times? It makes no difference. That's why my mother was lazy to enter me with tutoring. He said it was good he bought two jute rice,” cetus Robin.

“Means that sinter your mother,” replied Heru again, holding back her laughter.

“Okay, next, Bin." Bara glanced back at Heru. His cousin's sister giggled.

“Sorry, Bara's Dad. I like to fail pokus if interrupted. Okay, continue. Dul went up to third grade Junior High, Annisa suddenly moved school again. Don't know where. So, all this time I've only heard stories about this Annisa. Don't know the guy yet. I have only seen these few days. It turns out to be sweet. Dul was curious. If not sweet, would disappear even Annisa suddenly from next to her, the Dul would not realize.”

Heru could not help his laughter. This time he laughed. So did Bara who had a little laugh listening to the most honest words from a teenage boy.

“You really, Bin. But you better not have a woman who is horrified, yes.” Heru nodded with the rest of his laughter.

Meanwhile, just a moment ago, Dul's breathing was still a little breathless as he arrived next to Annisa.

“Mbak, no milk...”.

“Dul?” Annisa turned her head and looked at Dul as if she had just met him for the first time.

“Eh, hi.. keb-coincidentally meet here. Your home is near here?” Dul spun around circulating his gaze outside the pharmacy.

“Iya. Deket here. Third house on the road there.” Annisa pointed towards Heru's parked car. “You also live near here?”

“Oh, no. I asked my father to come down to buy my youngest brother's milk. My father is waiting in the car,” replied Dul. This time the answer was more confident.

“Oh, coincidence passing, yes.” Annisa nodded at a glance and looked back at the woman in front of her who was looking down to scribble the recipe paper. “Udah there are all, right, Mbak?” ask Annisa to the woman.

“Already. Today is complete. Kan, I did promise,” replied the woman smiling.

"The question is urgent. Usually buy at the pharmacy of another city," replied Annisa. His face looks relieved.

“In the meantime, I'll take it directly.” Dul darted to the milk shelf and looked for the brand Ibra used to drink. In just two minutes, Dul was able to find the milk he was looking for and had returned next to Annisa. He forgot the suggestion of prolonging the conversation about telon oil. “Newly moved to this city again? Where was it before?” ask Dul.

“Previous in Semarang,” replied Annisa, glancing Dul at a glance. His hand reached into the pocket of the uniform skirt and took out a hundred thousand dollars in fractions quite a lot. “This, Ma'am. Try counting first.” He pointed it at the woman across.

The woman opposite the glass steling counted the money, then nodded after confirming the adequacy of the amount. “Lain times can go directly here only. The stock is guaranteed to exist" the woman said.

“Iya, ready,” replied Annisa. “Eh, your order already?” ask him to Dul.

“Oh, nih.” Dul spent the money to pay for her milk. As the woman in front of them was packing the canned milk and going to the cash register, Dul quickly returned to pay attention to Annisa. “Why go home from school since the first always in a hurry? Your IPA dictionary is still on me. Still want to?”

Annisa grimacing. The girl looked down at the medicinal plastic she was holding. “IPA Cameras?” Annisa laughed a little. “Inget, really. That's a memento from me to you. In the past,” said it again.

“Why is it always in a hurry?” reset Dul. He wanted to get an answer from Annisa's mysteriousness all along. In fact, the girl's answer remained diplomatic and explained nothing.

“I can't play as freely as you. But I enjoyed it. Umm ... by the way .. girl who was your boyfriend yesterday, yes?”

Dul's speechless. It turned out that Annisa could talk a lot too, he thought.

Got to answer what? Is Lova really my boyfriend?

“It turns out that the old Abdullah has changed,” replied Annisa. “I guess you won't be boyfriend-girlfriend until the end of SMA.” Annisa chuckles.

“Not how-how too,” replied Dul.

“Congratulations, deh, make Abdullah..”.

“If you?” cut Dul. Either Annisa understands or not what she is asking, but Dul hopes the girl understands her point.

“Now there is something more important for me,” replied Annisa. “I first, yes. This is actually late.”

Without listening to what Dul answered, Annisa left the pharmacy. Dul just stood looking at Annisa's flickering hair that turned right and disappeared.

“Eh, where? Is there a guy?” Robin was the first to ask questions when Dul got back in the car. The status of Annisa single or not is something that is important for Robin.

While Heru who thought about the weekend event directly asked, “Where? Do you know where his house is?”

Then Bara, the male figure whom Dul loved, also asked. “Who did you buy medicine for, Dul?”

Bara's question sounded surprising to Dul. “I..forget to ask, Yah.” Dul immediately made a disappointed look.

Dul's disappointment that day then turned into regret for him. Just as he had just been sworn in as Chairman of Osis after winning over 60% of the vote, Dul got word from the previous Chairman of Osis.

“Abdullah, the first task as the new Chairman of Osis is to raise funds of condolences. The mother of your classmate, the transfer student, just passed away this morning. I just heard from teacher BK. How's it? Does anyone know where his house is? There must be an envoy who joined the service,” said Dul's upperclassman.

“I, Brother. I know his house,” replied Dul.

Nisa ... What is medicine for your mother?
