Perfect Love
perfection and friendship

The sun had started to sink in the western sky when I got home from school. I stepped lazily into my lonely mansion. Aunt Jasmine came home this morning having to take care of the completeness of her wedding which was only a few days away. My quarrel with Aunt Jasmine some time ago had subsided when I apologized to her the next morning. I realized, Aunt Jasmine was just trying to guide me into a good person. I had not yet opened the door, it opened first with a girl coming out who rushed straight at me,

 " Melvin, I'm so happy to see you again ! " I cried with a loud shrill voice, saying,

" Mayra, when did you come ?" Reply hugged him.

I was quite surprised to see the sudden arrival of my cousin Mayra from the USA,

" Mayra came with papa this afternoon, from now on Mayra will stay here with us, "Sahut papa approached us ,

" Wow...that's good news, but why did Mayra arrive - move here?" I asked again as I walked to the living room,

" My mother's father moved to Buenos Aires to build a new business there, and I don't want to stay there, I better go back to Indonesia, "The answer is to put a stingy face,

" Mayra will also transfer to your school from tomorrow, "Papa added making me widen my eyes,

" Papa's sure Mayra's at my school, why don't you just move to International school papa, I'm not sure Mayra will like my school, " I said considering how effective he was and he did not want to be in the environment of ordinary people, he was from childhood always accustomed to his parents in an environment that was all elite.

" No problem girl, it's my choice, "Here it is, then,

" But why is that, this isn't papa forcing right ?" I'm not sure, though,

" No, uncle doesn't force me, I just want to feel the atmosphere of life in the middle of the commoners like you do, " She said with a laugh.

In the evening, I was with Mayra on the way to a shopping mall to buy school supplies, especially stationery. Actually my papa has prepared all the needs of Mayra but Mayra wants to buy her own goods. When we reached the shopping center, we went around looking for school and office supply stores. Not yet reached the place to go, Mayra pulled me into a boutique owned by a famous brand and began to choose clothes there. For hours Mayra spent buying all the things that attracted her attention, I was also late in the atmosphere of shopping like Mayra but I immediately remembered the purpose we came here.

" Mayra, come on we're here to buy stationery instead of buying clothes, time is over for shopping, let's get out of here !" I half-picked Mayra with the groceries that filled her hands.

Finally we arrived at the stationery store, Mayra happily chose all the items that she thought were good even though there were some things that were not important to buy in my opinion. After we finished buying stationery and clothes, we headed to a fast food restaurant for dinner. Mayra stopped her steps before entering the restaurant,

" Why stop Mayra, is anyone missing ?" I was wondering,

" Are you serious ? " See me back, please,

" Why, is there something wrong ?" I'm not understanding him any more, though,

" You take me to a place like this, not Melvin I don't want to, all my life I've never set foot in a place like this and never will forever! " His eject made me take a long breath, though,

" Where do you want to eat?" I also patiently face the attitude of my late cousin's arrogance,

" I want to eat where our family used to eat, "I let out a long sigh,

" Can't Mayra, we have to reserve a place first if we want to eat there, "I'm obviously patient, I'm very patient, I never thought I could - he usually asked for dinner on a luxury yacht that used to be our family for a gathering place.

Actually I could have done that right now, but I didn't want to take it for granted because it would make him even more spoiled,

" I don't want to eat here anyway! " He began to sulk childly - kanakan, he,

" Well let's just go home then, let me call Ina to prepare your favorite meal, "I said to make her smile again.

I must be patient with my cousin who passed spoiled, this is the impact of his parents who always spoil him and obey everything he wants. Lucky my papa is not too pampering me like that, I can not imagine if it becomes like Mayra who will only make other people difficult with various requests.

This morning I was late for school, the first disorderly offense I ever committed in my life. Luckily I was not punished, the teachers understood because I came with Mayra who had just moved from abroad. I can't imagine how devastated my reputation as OSIS chairman was due to Mayra's bad luck. With the homeroom teacher, Mayra and I got into my room. Then I sat down at my place while Mayra introduced herself in front of my friends,

" Hello guys, my name is Mayra Gracia Candra Wijaya, you can call me Mayra, i'm from Ny, USA, " He said introduce himself but in reprimanded my homeroom teacher to use Indonesian,

" Mayra, please repeat with Indonesian yes, because you are now in Indonesia, so must use Indonesian !" I know Mayra didn't get told to repeat and stare at my homeroom teacher, but I stare cautiously to make her comply,

" O friends, my name is Mayra Gracia Candra Wijaya, called Mayra, a transfer from New York, USA.

Mayra was finally welcome to sit behind me with the Stars. Lamat - lamat I can hear my friends who began to whisper - whisper about Mayra, be it her arrogance or her beauty like me who incidentally brothers. I myself do not bother with the behavior of my friends who have become a habit, let as they please as long as it does not harm me or Mayra.

The break bell rang, all lessons are over. All the students flocked to the canteen to fill the already hungry stomachs. Some prefer in the class to eat the provisions prepared by his mother. Usually I bring my own supplies from home made mbak Ina, but this time I prefer to invite Mayra to eat in the school cafeteria so that he can adapt here better. Me, Diandra, and Mayra walked through the crowded hallways. As soon as we became the center of attention along the road to the cafeteria, there were some students who just looked at us looking curious at Mayra, who was, there are also bright - bright greeting and praising the beauty of Mayra who is not far from me. Mayra did not look disturbed, he even put a smile along the way showing a friendly image. Well, maybe it's a pretty good situation, but I know Mayra is like that because she's someone who's very good at keeping images. He will show and behave as well as possible in front of others regardless of his arrogant and effective attitude, one of the good things from Mayra. I was also quite grateful to see Mayra who was quite friendly. Even though he whispered to me about my school which he thought was very old-fashioned, friends who like to gossip made him want to coagulate his mouth one - one , or even because the students who he thought were tacky like never seeing beautiful people, and many other complaints. Once again I have to be patient to deal with it even though I am the one who wants to stuff his mouth because it just seems to be disfiguring my school. After a few minutes we arrived at the school cafeteria, Diandra chose the seat while Mayra and I ordered the food. There was a little queue at the place where we ordered, giving us a chance to see the menu,

" Yes...I'm sorry, is this really true, that they really sell junk food here? " His complaint whispered to me,

" Keep your word Mayra, I don't like you talking like that, you're the one who chose to attend school here with me that means you have to learn to accept everything here, if you don't like it, please ask to move to my papa !" I warned, I must be firm with Mayra on several occasions so that he is not as willing as he is,

" Oh my God, I seem to be starting to regret my choice, "I'm not worried.

I ordered chicken soto while Diandra and Mayra ordered meatballs. I was about to bribe the first meal when Arya's sister called me to stop me eating,

" Melvin, sorry to interrupt her eating, come with me for a minute, there's something I want to say !" I nodded following Brother Arya leaving Mayra and Diandra for a while.

Brother Arya invited me into the quiet secretariat room, when he entered he locked the door from the inside so that anyone does not enter and know where we are here. He took a chair and began to speak,

" That's a good idea, sis, I'm very happy if our school becomes the first coordinating meeting place, but can't it be outside school hours, maybe on Sunday ?"

" Can't Vin, I purposely held in effective hours for all school representatives to come, I want to make this an official meeting, a previous experience if it is held outside school hours, I want to make this an official meeting, a previous experience if it is held outside school hours, many school representatives were absent, "

" Hem..so yes, if such steps are correct, well sister just ask JOS secretary to make a permit to school, then, when I'm done, I'll go with my sister to the principal. I will also make a small committee to prepare all things, you JOS administrators just focus on the subject of discussion, and I suggest for you to make the official JOS rules, he said, because I see JOS has no patent regulations, "

" Well, I'll think about it and thank you for helping me, "The leg is friendly.

Lately his attitude has been much better for me and more professional since being elected as the chairman of JOS, it is good because it reduces one of my problems in the organization.

After the conversation regarding JOS with Arya, I rushed to the cafeteria considering that the break time was over. Upon entering the cafeteria I was surprised by the crowd of students who were watching the quarrel of none other than my cousin with the big brother gang. I ran up to them and broke up those who were about to throw bottles of sauce and soy sauce at each other.

 " It's stopped, don't make a fuss here !" Ujarnku yelled in disarray, Ujarnku shouted,

" Now also came the person, heh Melvin if you have a cousin that is guarded, so not brash !" Hardik Kak Selena, the upperclassman who is the head of the gang,

" Know, don't just be busy imaging you, notice that your cousin is not so, "Come on with another Selena friend, please,

" Shut up*****, watch your mouth cheap chick !" Sahut Mayra glared at Selena ferociously,

" It's over, Sis Selena and the other sisters please stop, I'm sorry if Mayra did act but please don't have to fight, she does still need to adapt here, please understand, and Mayra let's get out of here !" I pulled Mayra away from the cafeteria, I was lazy to deal with that underworked upperclassman gang. I prefer to leave not because I am afraid, responding to their words is the same as responding to a madman.

I continued to hold him until I reached class, along the way he grumbled against Selena and her friend, and,

" Female basis***** that's just like telling my cousin who doesn't - no, "he muttered while sitting on his stool,

" Have Mayra calmed down, don't do anything on the first day of school !" I rebuked while giving him a bottle of water to calm him down,

"I don't accept Melvin, cook you with the actor, "Mayra's statement makes me frown,

" What actor, who is his girlfriend, I don't feel like I have a relationship with anyone at this school, " I was surprised, I said,

" Oh vin, cook you don't know, Selena likes Mike, that's the captain of basketball that you've been shooting at, "Sahut Diandra, said,

" Geez, it's just a matter of kayak, anyways I don't like Mike, Mike chasing me, "I'm sighing heavily, anyway,

" Yes, after all Melvin is already the perfect Rafael, Mike is nothing compared to Rafael, " Diandra keceplosan makes me instantly widen my eyes while he hurriedly shut his mouth, he said,

" Raphael, who is Rafael ?" Sahut Mayra curious.

Then Mayra forced me and Diandra explained but we refused.

It's not time Mayra knew about Rafael and it's better he didn't know.

The day after that incident, Mayra kept clinging to me trying to figure out who Rafael was. Even tonight he still forced me to sleep with him even though I refused. He tried to lure me with promises that he made but did not make me waver to keep secret Rafael. That night either misfortune or luck to me, suddenly Rafael came to my house without telling first. I was shocked to learn Rafael was already in the living room, by settling down - I was out of the room leaving Mayra who was asleep. I heaved a sigh of relief after making it out without waking Mayra up and immediately rushed to see Rafael. Rafael sat quietly waiting for me, tonight just wearing a bomber jacket with jogger pants has made him look handsome. He smiled as he saw me coming,

 " Good night Melvin, sorry, night like this bothers you,

" Well, it's okay Rafael, if you know what you're here for?" I wonder right to the point, though,

" I want to talk about the futsal problem that we discussed yesterday, oh yes but before that I brought your favorite Martabak, "He handed me a box of martabak that looked freshly made, he said,

" Whoa...thank you so much Rafael, I'm so bad to make you bother, "I'm happy to accept Rafael's gift, that's right,

" What's the futsal ?" Ask to start a conversation,

" I've talked to my friends, they gladly accepted your offer, for the place I leave it to you, whatever the place is good, whatever, you know more about the field than I do, "I told Rafael,

" Well then, I'll let you know if you've been booked, Sunday at nine o'clock ?"

" Okay ready, I'll tell my friends, "Let's talk later.

After another conversation, Rafael went home at nine o'clock in the evening. I drove her home to the yard. When Rafael came out the gate, I went back into the house. I was surprised to see Mayra in the living room eating Rafael's martabak,

" Em.. martabak is very tasty, "The murmur is not clear with a mouth full of martabak,

" Mayra since when do you like martabak, don't you hate the food you say you have commoners ?" I satirize him,

" Since tonight I like it, especially since the one who brought me the handsome prince, "Hear it made my ears red,

" What the hell are you Mayra, how obvious !" My leg's as good as, though,

" You're the one who's not clear, oh...you're jealous yeah I compliment Rafael like that ?" Now he's turned on me, though,

" How did you know it was Rafael ?" Indirectly unconsciously I have given it,

" Know dong, if not Rafael there is no way you are jealous that when I praise him and smile - smile yourself so soon after ushering up the page, he is special to you, " He was more and more tempting to me making my cheeks red like boiled shrimp,

" Speak what the hell you Mayra, but beware yes you like - the same kind of Rafael !" The instinct of possession seemed to rule me, fearing that Rafael might be taken by another woman,

" Relax I won't be like, at the very end of this I became his girlfriend, "He mocked me immediately running while carrying all my martabak, he said,

" Mayra...Your watch, hey give me my martabak back !" I screamed and rushed after him.
