Mala Dewa Love Story's
10: Relationship Without Status (1)

This morning as usual, Mala was preparing to go to school. What is different is that there is no more Godly voice that makes the morning more colorful. Yes, since two days ago Mala locked herself in the room and did not want to go out even just to eat.

Mala hoped the gods would come to persuade her to eat. But, in fact, it's not. Mala even accidentally saw a God who was riding his motorcycle that he had not used for a long time. What makes Mala shocked is someone who is in the back seat of his bike, he is Rosy.

Has God forgotten Mala? That quick? Just then Mala saw the God's smile coiling wide. The smile she used to see was aimed at her, this time it was not for her but for another girl. From then on Mala decided to forget about the Gods, although difficult, very difficult even though the Gods had broken her heart and broken into pieces.

The relationship cannot be said to end, or break up in the sense like a relationship in general. They never tied their closeness to the word "dating".

But after the situation like this, certainly not just break up. It's like they don't even know each other. Then, why did God send a letter like yesterday? Is just to cheer Mala's heart.

Yes, surely the Gods had been tired of her childish self. That's what Nirmala had in mind.

"Lo likes me, Mala?"

"Yes, Vir, Mala likes Virgo."

"Sorry, yes, Mala. Lovely, you could say my type. But lo it's.. I don't feel good talking about it, just for your sake too. You may not have been conscious all this time."

"What does Virgo mean?"

"Lo is so childish, Mala. I do not understand, for the size of Junior High children who already want to go up to third grade, what is natural kayak lo child."

It was the first time Mala liked men. Virgo is the love of the Nirmala monkey.

But after Virgo's painful rejection, Mala finally realizes that she is wrong to like Virgo.

"Thank you for Mala the reason Virgo rejected Mala."

Mala wasn't angry, she just left. But now when the Gods stayed away from him it all felt different. Mala was disappointed, she was disappointed in herself for having made the Gods stay away from her. "Mala don't want to be shunned Brother."

"Darling, you're testing today. Dad took you to school." Mala's mother stroked the top of her son's head which had only continued to look moody.

How not moody, usually the God who always drove him to school. Now then?

The sound of the God motor was heard again. Mala ran to see from behind the window curtain. Apparently, God was turning on his motorbike, looking the same person he saw yesterday. The girl was sitting on the God's bike, she was Rosy. Rosy again. Are they dating? Inner Mala who was constantly crying in her heart. Mala was in pain, in excruciating pain, seeing the man she loved the most was so easy to forget.

"Darling, what did you see?" Mother Mala opened the window curtain, there was no one there. Yeah, because God just went running his bike with a girl named Rosy.

"It's nothing, Bun. Mala left with Dad." Yeah." Mala smiled bitterly while wiping away her tears.

Mother Mala felt sad, this was all because of her, because of her decision. He should not have separated Mala and the Gods.

"Mala, if you don't you go to Korea. Mommy's okay, if you feel heavy apart from De-"

"When you want to go to Korea." Mala interrupted her mother's speech. "Mala wants to go to Korea with dad and mom."

'Brother Rosy is a woman who is equal to the mature God Sister. Maybe Brother Dewa is really sick of Mala huh.'

At that time the mother of Mala felt her son was forced to do it all. How could Mala change so quickly? Though he was still roaring in the room yesterday like a child missing something that he cared about the most.

"Dad, we're off yuk. Mala today is the first test" Mala told her father.

"OK pretty. I'll take the car keys first" Mala's father replied.

...*****...

...The Mala school...

"When you get into class, yeah, Dad." Mala kissed the back of his father's hand, then kissed his father's cheeks alternately left and right.

"Student learning well. Success for the test." Mala's father did not forget to kiss his daughter's forehead. "Enhance, okay?"

Mala nodded. "Yes, it must be Mala's spirit."

The girl got out of the car while waving at her father. At that time Mala was honestly not eager to go to school. But, when he saw God happy without him, Mala felt relieved even though he felt sad. Sad, for it was no longer her who was the reason for the God to smile. Now God has chosen another girl, and decides to stay away from her.

"Hi Mala is beautiful." Mala raised her face, she was shocked to hear someone calling her that.

"Sister God?"

"I'm Gilang, not Brother God." The man smiled as he stood in front of Mala.

"Ah, Gilang. Sorry," said Mala limp.

Gilang felt astonished, not usually Mala looks so lethargic. Though the first time Gilang saw Mala, the girl was very cheerful and also so excited.

"Whisper! Don't say that name again in front of me!" Mala walked away from Gilang feeling upset, she tried to hold back her tears from dripping. Mala should not cry, Mala is not a weak girl, the inner Mala.

Glad snapped and immediately chased after Mala.

"Mala, I'm sorry. Suer I don't mean to make you sad." Gilang pulled Mala's hand, the girl threw it hard. "Don't hold!"

"Sorry" said Gilang. "But don't get mad Mala, suer I don't mean."

Mala stopped her footsteps. True also Gilang is not wrong, he should not be the impingement of Mala.

"Not wrong Glad. Don't apologize" said Mala, who sat in her chair.

Still Gilang felt guilty, he should not need to kepo by mentioning the name of the God earlier. But, that was all he said because usually Mala always mentioned the name of the God, they also looked very close.

All of Mala's friends were astonished by Mala's different attitude, unlike usual. Mala just kept silent in the classroom waiting until the change of other lesson hours. 

After school his father called saying he couldn't get him home from school. Mala was confused, who should she go home with? He took a taxi, he thought.

"Mala, what are you going home?" ask Gilang who just appeared beside Mala.

"Duh, Gilang shocked Mala." While rubbing his chest. "Take a taxi."

"Taxi's okay?" Gilang almost said why not get picked up by Kak Dewa? Good thing she remembered that Mala did not want to hear people say the name of God. Not only was he affected by Mala's nagging, even his other best friend was exposed to the same scolding for mentioning the name of the God earlier.

"Yes, I can't pick you up. So Mala took a cab."

"Would I not if I brought you home?" tawang Gilang's. "Make the motor."

Mala fell silent, she wanted to reject him directly. But, suddenly he remembered again that the God also went home with another girl using a motorbike. Mala thinks what's wrong if she also goes home with Gilang. The gods don't care about him either.

"Hm, did Gilang not feel bothered?" ask Mala.

Gilang shook his head. "No, I'm happy, if you want me to come home."

Mala finally decided to accept Gilang's offer. "Okay, if Gilang doesn't mind."

Cross cheered in his heart, it was fortunate that yesterday he did not give up, following Boby's words. In fact, who knows now that the relationship between Mala and the Gods may have ended. Mala did not even want to hear the name of the God called. They must have fought, Gilang thought.

"Okay, I'll take the bike first."

"Yes" replied Mala.

Gilang took Mala home. At that moment Gilang feeling very happy, he was finally able to join together with Mala. It felt like they were just dating, her mind.

"Mala, which house is it next door?"

"Turn left and then there will be a white fence, it's Mala's house, Gilang."

"Oh, okay, okay."

Gilang immediately stopped his motor when the two had reached the gate of Mala's house. "Here right?" tanya Gilang make sure.

"Yes, right." Mala got off the Gilang motorbike, then removed the helmet he was wearing. At that time God came out of the gate of his house at the same time when Mala had just handed the helmet to Gilang. "Thank you, Gilang."

"Sama-sama Mala. Will I pick you up tomorrow? Uh, it's just nawarin if you don't want to be okay."

Just as Mala glanced towards the house of the Gods, she was shocked to see the Gods standing staring at her sharply. Mala immediately shifted her eyes.

"Hm, it's okay if Gilang doesn't feel bothered." Mala smiled at Gilang. "Thank you Gilang, for it is good with Mala."

"Of course I'm even grinning. Not a hassle at all." She cheered again in her heart. "Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Mala nodded. "Be careful Gilang, Mala enters the house first."

Gilang nodded and immediately used his motorbike to go home from Mala's house.

The god squeezed both of his palms because he felt very upset at the sight just now. What the fuck is this, so Mala's got a new guy? His intention to make Mala stay away from him alone, not to make Mala glance at other men.

"Damn! Why am I spilling!" The god cursed while continuously cursing his own actions. "Am I wrong to stay away from Mala?"

"No! You can't stay away from Mala if you don't want Mala to be stopped by another guy!"

The gods began to regret when it was only the first day. What did he expect? He didn't you too if Mala cried losing herself and locked herself in the room right? Then why see Mala smiling for another guy she's angry? But isn't it important that Mala still smiles even without it?

Along the way Mala just bowed without being able to remove the shadow of the face of God. He did not know his decision to accept Gilang's offer to take him was right or not. Everything got worse when he saw the God in front earlier. Now Mala can only cry without a sound of pain. But this is what God wants. Relationships without status are not very good. Already Mala guessed, someday he might lose the Gods due to their unclear status.
