...GOSSIPING...

...We really can't be angry or we are too hypocritical?...

•••

Arnav breathed slowly. It had been almost half an hour that she and Rain were sitting on the porch of the girl's house. But there was no sign of the girl opening her voice.

Rain glanced at Arnav who was sitting next to him. I don't know how many times Rain glanced at the guy.

"Why are you suddenly angry with me?" ask Arnav finally.

Actually, Arnav is tired of having to pretend to persuade Rain if only it wasn't Dusk who asked for it. Evil indeed. Arnav is clearly aware that he is a cowardly man.

"You really don't know or pretend you don't know?" asked Rain without looking at Arnav.

"I'm sorry I was wrong."

Rain stared flat at Arnav. Just this time Arnav apologized in such a way.

"You know, right, the difference is ‘YA SORRY’ equals ‘MAAF, YA’?" said Rain with great emphasis.

"I'm sorry for making you angry again." That's all Arnav can say. He was confused as to what else to say because he did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

"You always repeat the same mistakes, never learn from the mistakes you've made. You keep repeating," said Rain gently. This time, he looked at Arnav with his shady gaze.

For a moment, Arnav was lulled by the gaze of the brunette girl and had a translucent cheek in front of him. How could he be this bad for Rain. Though, she knew that Rain was very sincere to her.

"I DON'T LIKE THAT!" yelled Rain with spoiled.

Arnav bit the tip of his lips while closing one of his eyes because of the girl's scream. Didn't Rain realize it was night?

"You're not angry anymore, are you?" ask Arnav to make sure.

Rain nodded.

As often as Arnav makes himself angry and disappointed, it is undeniable that Rain can not linger angry at Arnav.

Arnav holds Rain's hand. "Cock, are your hands swollen like this?"

Rain pulled his hand from Arnav, then noticed his own hand.

"I don't know why either." Rain then looked at Arnav with a smile. "Now can I hug you, dong?"

Without giving an answer, Arnav stood up and hugged Rain who remained seated in his place. Rain leaned his head against Arnav's stomach, then inhaled the man's masculine scent.

"Never stay with me, yes, Nav" Rain said. There was no answer from that guy. He remained silent while hugging Rain.

The sun is on the sidelines. The girl is not alone, she is with Rido, the former chairman of OSIS Eternity High School and the man who once rejected Dusk. From a distance, Agum could see the two men talking seriously, not knowing what they were talking about. Agum immediately approached the girl.

"Thank you, yes, Dusk."

Dusk nodded in response.

That sentence was what Agum heard when he was near Dusk. After that, Rido immediately left Dusk and Agum both.

"What did you say?" ask Agum curiously.

"Not saying anything," replied Dusk as he walked, Agum went along with the girl.

"Why did he say thank you?" ask Agum again.

Dusk glanced at Agum for a moment, "Why do you kepo?"

"Gini, yes, Dusk. I'm not a kepo, but curious."

"Just like!"

"Let's talk to you, anyway, more precisely," added Agum while laughing. "So, why did Rido say thank you to you?" The guy asked back.

"Because I have guaranteed the Physics notebook," replied Dusk at last.

Agum nodded his head. Suddenly, he was confused as to what else to say. It seemed, almost all the questions he had asked Dusk. Then, lately, his brain seems to stop thinking while being with Dusk. His mind was suddenly always centered on the girl.

Dusk who realized the silence of Agum, then turned to look at the man. "Kok quiet?"

"Let's every once in a while you go back to me. I, right, also want to lo kepoin."

The guy's answer was able to make Dusk fixate. He only realized that Agum had always asked a lot about him. But he never did the same. Once again, the guilt of Dusk reappears. How could he be this bad?

"Why do you like me?" Only that question flashed through the head of the Twilight at the moment.

Dusk looked at Agum.

Agum held the shoulder of Dusk, then shifted the body of the girl who had originally walked to his right to move to his left. "That's a tadilo almost bumped into passers-by."

Agum looked back, followed by Dusk who also looked back to see who the man who was almost a girl was a nudge earlier.

"Gue was surprised, look Arnav same Rain." Suddenly, Agum interrupted.

Dusk cringing. "Why?"

"No, look." Agum pointed towards Rain and Arnav who were walking in tandem. Rain was holding Arnav's arm. "Just fought yesterday, now it's better."

Dusk knitted his brows, somewhat astonished by Agum's words. "Why do they get better? Isn't it good?"

"Try, deh, sometimes we fight like them. It must be exciting," said Agum berandai.

Is this the wrong Dusk to hear or is it just the strange Agum? Everyone does not want to fight with their boyfriend. Not with Agum.

"So, you want to fight like me?"

"Yes," Agum nodded enthusiastically. "So of course, I really want to see you get angry, Dusk."

Agum is completely consistent. From the past until now, the boy's request just wanted to see Dusk angry.

"But, lo ...." The twilight can no longer speak.

"Surely, you never get angry, anyway."

Isn't it nice if Dusk never gets angry?

"What's the same news you never get angry too?" said Dusk annoyed.

This Agum is actually stupid or pretending to be stupid, anyway? He wanted to see Dusk get angry at him, whereas the guy alone never got angry at Dusk.

"Who said? I was angry, though. Angry with Dad, angry with Rain, angry with Aber, David, and Mahmud," explained Agum at length.

"If you are the same, I can't be angry." Agum then ruffled the twilight bangs, "Soalya lo special."

Dusk brushed off Agum's hand. "Martabak beans are also special if you forget."

Agum chuckled, "It turns out you can joke too, huh. Good, Sen, you've started to improve."

Arnav and Rain just got out of the cafeteria. Now, the two of them were walking towards the classroom. During their journey to class, Rain did not stop talking to Arnav. The topic of conversation that Rain had uttered was very random. Arnav got confused as to where the girl was talking. Despite that, Arnav remained faithful to listen without any intention of cutting. The guy also occasionally replied as Rain asked.

Some disciples gossiped when they saw Arnav and Rain passing by.

"Pity, yes, Arnav. Falling in the arms of a petty girl and weird like Rain."

"Yes, ihh!"

"Eh, listen too, Rain who shot Arnav first."

"She said, anyway, dipelets. Let the Arnav want."

"Cowok as handsome and as smart as Arnav where it fits Rain!"

"Be looking forward to Nisa everywhere. "

And there are still many things that are thrown by these students. Rain was sure, that cheap gossip spreader must be Nisa.

"Oh, very lazy, yes, ngurusin chilli-cabean. Her hobbies are just like having people," Rain said as he looked at the three girls who were gossiping.

"Udah, do not need to be served," said Arnav.

"No way, dong, this must be Nisa who spread gossip was not clear earlier."

"Nisa is not necessarily Nisa. Don't just accuse me."

"Lho, you know, what, you're even thinking about Nisa?"

"I'm not fucking around." Arnav sighed softly, he was lazily arguing right now. 

"Udahlah, do not need to be discussed. I'm lazy to take it."

Rain pursed his lips. What, Arnav alone is lazy noisily? Rain was just as lazy, especially if it was related to the name Nisa-Nisa.
