Pursued by the Love of Jengkol Children
Who is Blue Erlang

The next day, as promised by Raka yesterday. During the break before returning to the next course, Raka with Bella and Helen, they went to the cafeteria. After they chose a place that was at the very corner of the canteen, Raka then ordered food and drinks for the three of them.

'' Sorry about Raka! There's something I want to ask you. But please answer honestly and no offense!'' bella started their conversation.

Actually, what Bella wants to ask or convey to Raka is personal. However, since she feels quite familiar with Helen, although their friendship is still fairly new, but Bella also does not mind if Helen knows what she will say to Raka.

Moreover, with the attitude of Helen who according to Bella is quite fun to be invited to share together. Therefore, he did not hesitate to say things that are considered personal in front of Helen. Bella also felt. That what he wanted to say to Raka, it was also necessary to know by Helen, so that later there would be no misunderstanding between them.

Raka nodded, asserting it while smiling. Helen who since yesterday was curious about what Bella wanted to convey to Raka, she then asked Bella. She is suspicious, lest Bella wants to convey her feelings to Raka.

'' Um, what the hell are you talking about Bell? The feeling, from yesterday you looked very serious.'' asked Helen curiously.

'' So this is Hel! A few years ago, I was friends with someone on social media. The person uses a pseudonym, called Erlang Biru. That person is quite mysterious, and makes me quite curious.''

'' I don't know why? I'm honestly very interested in him. Until one day, I didn't realize and told him I liked him.''

'' I myself do not know clearly what his face is like, where he lives, what his name is, and also how his status.''

'' It seems like the person is quite closed. But, each of her words looks so wise and quite pleasant.

'' Keep going, how did he respond to your statement?'' helen asked increasingly interested and curious.

'' That's Hel! That's why I said that he was the person who was quite mysterious Bella replied after she took a deep breath, then briefly looked at Raka who was sitting in front of her.

'' So, he refused or accepted your expression?'' asked Helen while fixing her seat and increasingly curious.

'' I don't know Hel. Said to refuse yes no, said to accept yes also no. He just told me: There are many things that are more important to me right now. If it is fate, one day we will meet. And that's when, I'll give you the answer'' said Bella mimicking the words once written by her social media friends.

'' Waah.. !! Turns out, you are again LDR-an the same someone whose status is not clear is that Bell? How could you anyway? In fact, you are beautiful! You don't have a guy where you used to be!'' ask Helen.

When Bella answered a question from Helen, also hearing the comments that Helen gave, Raka's face seemed to change a little. Not knowing why, Raka seems to be hiding something from Helen and Bella a little.

'' Lah continues, what does that person have to do with Raka? Do you think that person is him?'' ask Helen again, looking at Raka.

'' I don't know hel! But since yesterday I saw him, I really feel, if he had anything to do with my friend in the medsos.'' replied Bella again looked at Raka's face, and this time she looked at him deeply.

Raka who was stared at by Bella and also Helen like that, she became misbehaved. He doesn't know what to do or say. This makes Helen and Bella feel strange about Raka's attitude. Helen and Bella who saw Raka like that, now became curious. Is it true that the person referred to by Bella is Raka.

Now, who was curious about someone who had an account called the Blue Erlang, not only Bella. In fact, Helen herself began to suspect. If it is true that the person is Raka, then it is appropriate that Raka always refuses to be her boyfriend.

'' Eh Ka! Is it true that the owner of the account called Erlang Biru is indeed you?'' asked Helen who was still staring at Raka curiously.

'' Yes, Raka. If I may, I would like to know too! Is it true that the owner of the Blue Erlang account is Kam?'' welcome Bella to repeat Helen's question.

Raka had not had time to say anything, a cafeteria waiter came while carrying their order. Due to the presence of the servant, both Raka and the others became silent. Until the waiter finished serving their order, then they continued the conversation.

'' How are you, Ka,? Actually, Blue Erlang is you or not?'' again Helen asked him back to Raka, after the cafeteria service had left them.

'' Emm... Actually, I.. ! i.. !''

'' Dreett...Dreet.. Dreet...'' Just as Raka was about to answer the question, she was suddenly startled by her vibrating phone. He then asked Helen and Bella for permission to answer the phone call.

'' Hello, Assalamualaikum.'' said Raka after she connected the call.

'' Yes ma'am! What's up, huh? Oh... Yes mom, sorry! I haven't been able to sell for a few days. But insyaallah tomorrow the day after tomorrow if there is no udzur, I will re-open the shop.''

'' Yes ma'am! God willing...!! Yes the name also has a sudden need mom, so yes how else! But insyaallah tomorrow the day after tomorrow I really open! Yes, yes, ma'am! God willing.. Ready ready. Okay fine! Wa'alaikum...''

'' Who is Ka? Your mother?'' ask Helen to guess.

'' Not Hel! That's one of my customers. He asked me when I opened the shop. You see, it has been a few days, I did not sell.''

'' Oh.hh..! Have you been on holiday lately? I really want to go to your store later in the afternoon. It feels like a long time ago I did not eat your homemade serabi cake, said Helen while enjoying the food and drinks they ordered, and also imagined eating serabi cakes made by Raka.

'' Oh.. Apparently, here there is also a sale of serabi cakes huh? Kirain, only in Bandung. I also like the serabi cake.''

'' That's what makes you, yourself or someone else is Raka?'' bella asked in curiosity.

Hearing the conversation between Helen and Raka about the serabi cake, Bella so forgot the question that she and Helen asked Raka. He also began to imagine, what kind of serabi cake made by Raka. Neither the form, nor the taste.

'' Uh Helen! Later, if you want to go to the shop mas Raka, please take a taxi! I also want to know, what the hell does a man-made serabi cake taste like?''

'' You see, most of the people who sell sarabi cakes in my place, the average woman and also old.''

'' You want to know how it feels like her homemade serabi cake? Anyway, emmh.. Can't be described with Bell's words. It feels addictive. Like the.. Like the.. It's like eating a serabi cake!'' helen was confused saying what it felt like.

Bella chuckles when she hears what Helen has to say. He himself already understood how the serabi cake tasted. Only, he did not know yet, what it felt like serabi made by Raka.

'' Hhh.. Hel..Hel! You are, there is. The name of the serabi cake, yes it must taste like serabilah. It tastes like fried chicken! hhh...''

'' Iiihih.. You're Bell. I mean it's not like that. But.. Ah already! It is difficult to say anyway.'' said Helen who finally gave up and did not want to explain what she meant.

Seeing Helen who was confused and also mated by Bella, Raka smiled. At first glance, he looked at Bella. Bella's crisp laughter with her cute lips and mouth, as well as a slight thin whisker above her lips, made Raka a little charmed when she saw Bella.

While Raka was still amazed to see Bella, Bella who was still laughing because of Helen earlier, she accidentally turned to look at Raka. Because at that time Raka was still staring at him, the two views met. Bella who just realized that Raka was looking at her, she was also amazed by Raka's smile.

'' Um.. Um..'' I heard Helen pretending to cough.

Both Raka and Bella, both became surprised by the sound of Helen pretending to cough. At the same time, the two also looked towards Helen. Helen immediately threw away her face when she saw the two so compactly turning towards her.

Again, Raka and Bella looked at each other after seeing Helen who was like that. And that was known to Helen, so she suddenly stood up and said with annoyance.

'' Iiii.. You're this! Nyebelin really.'' he said, then went away from the place.

'' Uh... Helen Helen's. Wait for me Hell! Where are you going anyway?'' bella then immediately got up to chase after Helen.

'' Eh yes Raka mas, please pay first yes, later I change!'' said Bella who just remembered, if the food and drinks have not been paid.

Raka just stared at the departure of the two beautiful girls from his place. Not long after, Raka-pun soon rose from her seat. He went to the counter to pay for the food and drink he had ordered for the three of them. After paying for the food and drink, Raka then walked to the class to continue learning the next course.

'' Helen.. ! What the hell are you? How suddenly you leave so aja.'' exclaimed Bella immediately grabbed Helen's hand.

'' Ah lap! That''' said Helen with a jutek, then tried to release his hand from the handle of Bella.

'' Well, I don't know Hel, you didn't say you were why! Anyway, the time because I laughed about it, you immediately sewot and go so.''

'' It's not Bella, heeehh...!" with anxiety, Helen pinched both cheeks of Bella.

'' You're a Bell chick, it's big too! when you really do not understand the feeling as a woman anyway?'' helen continued walking again after releasing the pinch of her hand on both cheeks Bella.

'' You mean! You...!?''

Bella who is now beginning to understand the cause of Helen's attitude, she again stopped her steps. At first he didn't think Helen would be like that. Meanwhile, Helen, who was still walking, stopped and turned to Bella, and said:

'' Yes! I'm jealous! I'm jealous of you! I'm jealous of Raka too. Anyway, I'm jealous of you two.' said Helen, then turned around and ran small towards her classroom.

Bella was silent. He doesn't know what to say or do. Although his friendship with Helen was practically short, he also did not want any problems with her. On the other hand, he started to get interested in Raka. Although she herself knew, that Helen was very fond of Raka.

However, because between Helen and Raka did not have a relationship, she also felt that there was no harm if she liked Raka. Moreover, he was also starting to be certain. If the owner of the account named Blue Erlang it is Raka. Thus, if it is true that it is Raka, then it means that he cannot be called taking Raka from Helen. Because after all, he was the one who liked Raka first.

...----------------...

That night, a crescent moon began to appear above the western horizon. Indicates that the moon has changed in the calendar of the Hijri year. Bella, Helen, and Raka. They were that night in a state of anxiety, over what each of them felt. ' '' Dreet... Dreet.. Dreett.'' Raka's cell phone rang. A name appears on Rakapun's mobile screen appears. Raka immediately picked up her phone, and received the phone call.

'' Hello assalamualaikum.. What's up Hel? How about my phone call. Is there anything I can help you with?'' ask Raka, when the call is connected.

'' Ka... You think I'm pretty?'' ask Helen to the points.

Raka was a little surprised by the question posed by Helen. Although he already understood how Helen was, he also did not expect, if Helen was so bluntly asking him such a thing. However, the rakapun finally answered him immediately.

'' Beautiful..! You are so beautiful, answered Raka.

'' Lying!!'' helen from across the phone.

'' Really really! Everyone knows that you are beautiful too.''

'' How pretty do you think I am?'' ask Helen again.

'' Emm.. As beautiful as an angel as possible!'' answer Raka origin.

Hearing Raka's reply, Helen, who was lying on the bed in her room, was flattered. His face was also slightly reddened, due to Raka's reply. However, he again pouted and continued a few questions to Raka.

'' If you think I'm as pretty as an angel, why do you always refuse to be my lover?''

'' I used to think, if the reason you rejected me was because you again want to focus on college, and also want to make your parents happy was right. But right now, I'm not sure that all of that is your main reason.''

'' Seems like... You rejected me because you have someone in your heart, right? And that person is prettier than me, right?'' Helen scoffs at Raka with many questions, which leaves Raka confused to answer them.

Because Raka was silent and did not answer her questions, Helen again asked Raka.

'' Ka...! You're still there, right?''

'' Yes Hel.. What's up?''

'' How come what the hell is going on? You haven't answered my question!''

'' Emm.. Sorry Hel! Which question is it?'' asked Raka who was not focused on what Helen had asked.

'' Iiii... You're it! Ever since you met Bella, now you've been a bitch!'' helen sewot.

'' Why are you Hel? How did you become that sewot!'' raka asked to hear Helen's speech that looked upset.

'' You know ah!'' Tut Tut's...

After saying that, Helen suddenly ended the phone call. Looks like Helen was quite upset by what happened today. Raka just kept silent not understanding with Helen's attitude this time. He put down his cell phone and took a book for him to read.
