Bambang Tempta


Because Gina did not enter the second subject automatically Lila could not eliminate this opportunity to sit with Bambang. When he entered the class, he immediately took over Gina's bench and sat down comfortably while smiling his typical centile to Bambang.


"What's my handsome guy doing?" Said Lila with a sweet smile. His enthusiastic gaze straight at Bambang made the young man who was focusing on reading it gasp and looked at Lila confused.


"Where's Gina?" Tanya Bambang made Lila pout.


Lila snorted in annoyance and said in a hurt tone to Bambang. "You are so excited."


Bambang is a young man who is one hundred percent innocent and innocent of course does not understand the dramatic direction of Lila's conversation. "I why?"


"Who is sitting next to you right now?" Lila asked with a serious expression.


"You?" Replied Bambang doubtfully.


Lila nodded confirming, "I'm here, beside you, and you still have the heart to talk about another girl right now? My heart is not that loud Bang." He held onto his chest and expressed as if his heart was really hurting.


Bambang's face was red, he was confused not knowing how to respond to Lila's words. He glanced at the entrance and spoke softly. "Teachers will come in."


His statement was very clear to Lila. Teacher would enter, it meant Lila had to stop teasing him and go back to sitting on her own stool.


But Lila did not heed Bambang's words, she sat in a comfortable pose as if the bench she was sitting on currently belonged to her and did not intend to move to any bench. "I will sit here, accompanying my handsome Babang to study. Isn't that a good idea?"


Bambang was eager to answer if it was not good at all. How could he possibly concentrate on studying if Lila was sitting next to him and would continue teasing him. Let alone thinking of ignoring the girl, he did not want to ignore her at all but he also did not know how to respond to her.


Teachers of Indonesian subjects enter and start the lesson. Lila according to her words remained seated on Gina's bench enthusiastically not wanting to be hidden at all from her eyes.


Bambang wanted to ask where Gina was but was afraid to make the girl next to him overreact until she chose silence and finally found out when the teacher passed on, Princess and Lila simultaneously say Gina has a stomachache and is now in the UKS.


Bambang glanced at Lila and felt doubtful. Earlier in the first subjects, Gina seemed ordinary and casually fell asleep comfortably with no signs of stomach pain. But he thought back and assumed to believe it, and it had nothing to do with him.


"Dude." Call Lila in the middle of the teaching and learning process with a soft, smooth voice, and make the feathers of Bambang goosebumps.


Bambang tried as calmly as possible even though his ears turned red clearly revealing his embarrassment. Lila felt attracted and thought the young man next to her was very cute and different.


He put his head on the pile of his hands on the table facing his face to Bambang, attentively watching Bambang who was writing the words written by the teacher on the board.


"Bambang~" Call Lila again with a coquettish tone but as slow as possible.


Bambang felt helpless and glanced at the girl who was lying her head on the table. But when he met the girl's gaze, Lila immediately blinked seductively making Bambang do not know where to throw his gaze.


Comforted by Bambang's cute response, Lila pursed her lips holding back her almost bursting laughter. He continued to tirelessly look at Bambang making the young man feel uneasy and wanted to immediately throw his book to cover Lila's sweet face.


"Oh yes Bang, in the afternoon we will study at Gina's house again." Lila said after a while, opening the topic to eliminate Bambang's nervousness.


Bambang nodded when he heard Lila's words, he turned to Lila wanting to answer but when his gaze once again met with Lila, he quickly turned his gaze and answered her perfunctory manner. "I understand."


Lila was silent for a moment observing Bambang's handsome face before whispering, "Bang, I want to be honest with you."


Bambang's heart involuntarily pumped strong, feeling nervous about Lila's impending speech. What'd he want to say? Honest about what? Is this going to be Lila's crush again?


Bambang swallowed his saliva and looked at Lila alertly. "W-what?"


"Um," Lila initially felt doubtful but finally said, "i'm actually not good at Biology. My grades are always low and I will be honest with you, I can be friends with Princess and Gina because the three of us often meet in the after exams which have the worst grades. So about Gina saying we were great in some subjects it was a lie. You also do not have to believe that Princess is good at English or Gina. The three of us have always been ranked the lowest, it's just that you're too ignorant of our rankings so don't know."


Bambang's heart that was feeling nervous and alert with Lila's speech involuntarily lost its fast rhythm. This time she mistakenly thought, Lila did not tease him or say sweet words, but strangely she felt a little, only a little, disappointed.


But even so, Lila's words were also something surprising. He never thought that the three girls he knew were friends because of poor grades, but it is not surprising when remembering their behavior during class or their calm expression when getting a call from the teacher.


Bambang's mind seemed to drift until he heard Lila continue her speech.


"Initially I wanted to study hard and memorize everything about cells, bones, skulls, bacteria, fungi, etc., anyway. I want you to be amazed and fall in love with me. But..," Lila sighed helplessly, "my brain is really incapable."


Bambang still permeated Lila's speech and suddenly froze. He looked at Lila carefully and met the helpless look of the girl. Did Lila really study hard just to get her attention? She did not believe it and looked at Lila doubtfully.


"Bang, you're so smart, I actually kind of like smart people. Because I feel I'm pretty so I'm confident enough to like a handsome guy. But I don't trust myself to approach smart guys, even though I can't dislike you. I'm dying, how is this? I really love smart guys now." Whisper Lila with her soft voice. This time he used his usual tone without being coquettish at all to make Bambang for a moment trust him and almost said no problem, he could not be called smart.


However, he regained his senses and replied to Lila's words. "Vino is so smart and you love it." I don't know where Bambang can get the courage to file his complaint with Lila.


Lila was stunned, she then re-emerged her teasing smile. "My handsome guy is jealous?"


Bambang immediately shook his head, what right did he have to feel jealous. Gina had already told him that Lila was only teasing him and that was what she always did to the man she considered handsome and fit her type. "No, it's impossible." Elak Bambang fast.


Lila muttered when she heard Bambang's denial but her lips couldn't stop to smile. He slightly shifted his head towards Bambang's desk. Staring at the young man next to him directly and openly. "I only have two types of men. First, handsome. Second, Bambang. If he is handsome but not Bambang then I can only half like him. And the young man next to me happens to be handsome and he is Bambang."
