PERIPLES
2. Brother Thea

They laugh, but not with me. I saw Rena who wanted to laugh but hesitated to me. He's seen a message from Brother Thea.

"Miss Vella tumben diem? Usually at least I can stop laughing," said Mang Ameng, the canteen guard I was visiting. I don't know since when Mang Ameng sat there. On the side bench we gathered.

I saw friends who were still engrossed in their conversation, with none of them diverted to me. I got Mang Ameng, "Iya mang. No longer feeling well. Hehe."

"Scholarship should be fine, Neng. Want to make a chicken claw like Neng Vella's favorite?"

"Eh. No need to mang. The hull is a little fussy again, so don't want to eat the pedes first."

I'm back to daydreaming. Shall I take matters of trivia like this? Just jackets. I know from the witch that Mahen and Kak Thea do have a couple jacket. Ah don't be surprised. I used to be good friends with a witch. When we were in the seventh grade, I was still in class with that girl.

He often asked me to accompany him to sit in front of the class. Because Mahen was in a famous gang at my school, so if they want to go to class, a lot of people caper with them.

"Eh that's Mahenn. Yay, funny thing."

I shuddered in horror at that time, "What's funny? It's just so usual."

"Funny tauk. Uh but sebel me. Mahen time equals Thea couple jacket."

"Jaudah nakpapa. People dating too. It's natural to dong."

The magician laughed, and said "You don't? Earlier this morning the only one wearing his jacket was Thea, Mahennya. Shame you've got a boyfriend slashing like him."

Yes, Kak Thea really likes to crash, especially crashing my generation. There have been many victims. And bad again, he often went back and forth to the toilet near seventh grade. Modus bias. Get the crocodile's attention. Uh, Mahen's following.

Once, one day. When I want to meet Rena who is in the motor park (Actually it is not possible, just keep going, and still if there is a raid), I accidentally passed Mahen and Kak Thea who were alone on the side of the road. Ck, I don't think there's anywhere else. If it is not wrong, Kak Thea begs to be ushered home with Mahen.

But Mahen insisted on refusing. It looks from the way Mahen threw Kak Thea's hand.

"What do you look at?"

I was surprised and pointed to myself, "Gue?"

"Come with elo. Who else is passing by here besides you? Peek lo's eyes?"

I can't wait for first-class sisters. Crazy to talk about it in front of his girlfriend. Crazy girl, man.

I ignored him and continued on my way to the parking lot. Amit-amit is the taste of Mahen.

There was a shout from back there, of course from Brother Thea, "No manners very much lo boy. Felly lo?"

Felly's the name of the witch I was telling you about from the beginning. They used to be arch-enemies. People always say we are twins. Felly and Vella, everywhere must be both. Now they are friends like cocoons until they become butterflies. Because of the same fate. And the same principle, which is to destroy Mahen's relationship with me.

"Oi Vel!"

I looked for the source of the sound, it turned out that Rena was waiting for me with 2 helmets. 1 was worn on her head, another one on me, on her thighs. His body looks balanced with the Ninja motorcycle he is riding. Rena is a flexible girl. She will be a princess when she is with David. And be a bodyguard, when with me or with other female friends.

I approached, then got a slap from Rena, "Old very lo. Do you wear it or do you wear it yourself?"

"Wear it yourself."

What Rena means is a helmet. He used to wear a helmet. You see, he said, if I wear a helmet like not really, it will come out of the wind he said.

I rode on Rena's bike, and sat in the bonfire as usual. My hands are stretched out to receive the helmet Rena gave me.

Along with me I saw Mahen pass in front of us, wearing his favorite black motorcycle. Followed by Sister Thea who walked alone, with red eyes like crying.

"Crazy for Mahen. Tega actually left the girl to walk alone. Bego is a guy."

Oh, and pity too. Don't have a girlfriend like Mahen, my inner self at that time. Approving the swearing made by Rena.

My shoulders were shaken, and I came back from that crazy daydream. Back in the cafeteria, and back to the fact that I'm Mahen's girlfriend. I am the one who replaced Sister Thea. And I'm not just the audience of Mahen's story anymore, but I'm his co-star.

Like dreaming, I will face the nature of Mahen who can be said to have no empathy for women. I often ask without an answer. What is the purpose of Mahen having a girlfriend if he is not prepared to undergo the consequences of appreciating his woman?

I'm saying Mahen started carrying his school backpack. He didn't ask me for a change in my attitude. Until finally Luke reprimanded me, "Why did he just say, Vel from earlier? He asked to talk from earlier not nyaut. Want to go home?"

"Eh yes too. Just realized me. Do you hurt Vel?" Ask Fitri.

I shook my head slowly, then stepped out of the canteen. Suddenly I felt something slamming my shoulders.

"Why baby?"

Mahen. The jacket he was wearing. And decided to answer the question with a smile.

"Why again?" Mahen asked again, who do I think would want to make sure that I was okay, or because I was often angry, so that he used the word "again" in his question?

"Mahen, can I ask you something?"

Without me knowing, it turns out I have stopped the step, which makes Mahen also stop.

"Why stop? It's raining" said David.

Rena approached, then took David's hand, "Udah biarin aja Dav. The four of us go first. Let them both follow."

"Gue wait in the parking lot, Vel." he continued, patting me on the shoulder. I smiled, and thanked him without a sound. Replied by Rena's smile and nod, as if completely understanding what I felt and what I needed right now.

"Oh jaudah. We're Hen first, Vel." said Rey as he waved his hand, and the four of them actually left.

Now we both live here. There are many questions I want to clarify now, but my tongue feels muddled, my mouth is reluctant to say a word.

"Vela, are you, right? What do you want to ask?"

Mahen asked again. The difference this time was that he held both of my shoulders, and looked at me sharply.

"Mahen, answer me honestly."

I let out a weak breath.

"That's a jacket that used to be the same couple as Kak Thea huh?"

She laughs. And then I put my nose on, "Who told you?"

Whahuh? She laughs? This joke? He does not know what if Kak Thea like because he still wears their favorite jacket first?

I think my high blood is on, "So that's the jacket he meant?"

"Who is he?"

"So Sister Thea told me that the jacket you're wearing is your couple's jacket."

"It's impossible that Vel I'm wearing a jacket from him. I never used to wear it."

"Well, I know."

"This is the same thing he bought for me. But this is Bang Faris' jacket. That's a child. Where am I wearing my jacket today."

I jerked. Yes yes too. Where did he know Mahen was wearing a jacket.

"So morning see you're leaving the most," I said

"Emmm. No deh. This morning I took Bang Faris' car. It's just me coming home from Rey."

Keep on knowing where? From the witch? Their intention was to stop the Mahen.

I'm pouting, "Well that?"

Mahen's hand was raised to shuffle my hair, "Beloved. Come home."

I smiled with relief, then left. With Mahen of course. Don't forget the hand that holds my hand. So sweet.

Arriving at the parking lot, I only saw three people who were engrossed in laughter. Rena, Rey, and David of course. I waved as the three of them realized that Me and Mahen had been present to join them.

"Udah smiles a smile," seduced Rena. Looks like Rena told the two of them about what happened between me and Mahen earlier.

I blushed in embarrassment, "Rena let's go straight home. I'm looking for dad."

"Yaudah come. Dav, I'm first. Nganter Vella first. You'll be home, right?"

"So dong dear," answered David who was still sitting in the chair next to the parking lot.

I'm wearing a helmet, you bitch.

The two of us, alone with the three remaining men there. When Rena's motorbike started to leave the parking lot, I accidentally saw that there was a Mahen motorbike inside.

I pat Rena on the back, "Eh Ren, you see Mahen's bike? How did I get a glimpse of him like a motorcycle?"

"Huh? Notwithstanding. I don't see. You've seen the wrong thing."

I memorized Mahen's black motorcycle. Did I see wrong?

A few seconds later, I saw Kak Thea standing on the side of the road alone. His left hand carries a helmet, and his right hand holds a mobile phone.

Waiting for who is he?
