“My neighbor isn't?”
Aksa asked while raising her eyebrows. While Rainy looked at Aksa flatly then rolled her eyeballs.
“No! Come, game depart!” ketus Rainy's.
The smile that Aksa showed instantly disappeared and then clucked due to Rainy's response.
Still on the bike, Aksa told Rainy to come closer, after the girl approached, Aksa immediately put a helmet on Rainy's head.
“Gue can be alone,” said Rainy.
“Never mind,” reply Aksa while hitting the head of Rainy wrapped in a helmet to make the girl surprised.
“Anaan the hell hit?”
“Ngak papa, would like aja.”
Rainy snorted with Aksa's behavior on this one. After that Rainy got on Aksa's motorbike and quickly told the man to leave immediately.
This morning as usual, left with Aksa then went to class together as well. So often together many who think they are dating, when in fact they are not. They are just neighbors who now always go to school together.
After getting off the bike, they will walk away from the parking lot to go to class. The students who came were quite a lot, some of them were looking towards Rainy and Aksa and some were not concerned.
“Jan!” call Aksa.
Accustomed to hearing the call of Rain from Aksa made Rainy inevitably turn his head. I don't know, Aksa is different, if others call him by name then Aksa will call by meaning of that name.
“thursday I want to play basketball, our school is the host. Lo ... watch it, right?”
Rainy was silent, not unwilling, but he had to work. Only, if the match is done at school, Rainy could-can be.
“What time is it?”
“Second break time, because the teachers want to be at the meeting so we have an empty schedule. Not all teachers will join the meeting.”
“Can be that hour,” said Rainy while nodding his head, while Aksa had put on a smile because he was happy.
“Don't forget to bring a drink, it will be thirsty.”
“Halah! Just say if you want to be treated by me.”
Aksa laughed, her head nodding confirming Rainy's words. His hands stretched out to ruffle Rainy's hair that had been combed neatly, now even back in disarray.
“Aksa! Very bad vows! I've cape-cape comb even lo random,” scolding Rainy. He tidied back his hair that was a bit tangled because of Aksa.
They were still on the road, about to head for the stairs to go up to the second floor. Some students came down from there to go to the field which will soon be performing a routine ceremony every Monday.
“Sister Rainy! Brother Aksa!”
Hearing his name being called, Rainy immediately stopped his steps as well as Aksa. When they turned their heads, they found Aldo there, smiling brightly and showing off a row of teeth.
“Why lo?” aksa asked while squinting her two eyes.
“Mau give a gift, make Brother Rainy.”
Aksa raised next to her eyebrow, “In what order?”
Not answering Aksa's question, Aldo instead passed her and approached Rainy and held out a box that he said was a gift to Rainy.
“Gue champion two, as I promise, I will love you gift more than yesterday. Although not expensive, I hope you like, Kak.”
Aksa gawked at her, her mouth speechless as Rainy smiled at Aldo and took the gift while saying thank you.
Then Aksa gave a rude snort, he pointed to himself while saying, “Keep me? Where is the gift for me? I helped you at that time too. It's not fair dong!”
“Oh, Brother Aksa would like to? But not uncomfortable in the same gift love boys? If you want, tomorrow I give you.”
For the second time Aksa was speechless, in his heart confirming. Yes, yes too, where Aksa might like to be given gifts by men in addition to her birthday.
“No! No need, make Rainy aja gift,” said Aksa later.
Aldo gave his thumbs up to Aksa, the young man thanked him again and left before them. Making Rainy and Aksa return together with a state of silence.
“Come!” rainy said the first time, inviting Aksa to return to their class.
Aksa nodded, in the way his gaze looked agitated, occasionally his eyes glanced towards the box which was now being embraced by Rainy. Although curious but Aksa did not want to tell Rainy to open it immediately.
“Gue can love you bigger gifts than that,” chirps suddenly make Rainy turn towards him with a confused look.
“Ya continues? Will you also give me a gift? In what order?”
Aksa silenced, then cursed his mouth that just spoke. “Emang should have a reason for giving a gift?”
“Iya, ntar I am confused if suddenly dapet gift, mistakenly mistaken people.”
“Other times do not accept gifts from other guys,” said Aksa whose mouth was already itching to say the word.
“Why?”
Aksa did not answer, silent all the way. Rainy also snorted and walked first when he saw Vania and Alika were in front of them, not far away.
THE PLAQUE!
Aksa was surprised when someone patted her shoulder, she turned her head and found Bagas who was smiling sobbing.
“Jealous of the story?”
“Paan anyway!”
“Hot is his heart? Hareudang euy hareudang!” the word Bagas further cornered Aksa, then Bagas grinned.

Like before the holiday yesterday-yesterday, Rainy will go to the cafe after school. Originally Rainy thought it would be the same as before, he could leave smoothly without worrying about anything, but it turned out that today was not.
Risa's aunt is at home, meaning Rainy must prepare a more logical reason to be able to go to the cafe today. Not doing group chores at a friend's house anymore.
After preparing, Rainy exhaled first and then the girl came out of her room. Normally Rainy would directly paste the memo on the door of his aunt's room, but this time Rainy had to face aunt Risa directly.
“Where are you, Ai?” when Rainy passed the living room, there was no Abraham there, probably gone, Rainy thought.
While holding back nervously, Rainy said, “You play, Auntie. Regular, same Vania same Alika.”
“Oh, where to play?”
Rainy gulps his saliva, getting nervous and afraid if Risa's aunt suspects that she's not going to play. “Wonton Aksa basketball practice, he is equally willing to match later Thursday.”
Rainy thought, it was quite reasonable, despite the fear that the aunt would ask Aksa if she was actually watching them rehearsal or not. But seeing aunt Risa nod her head made Rainy really breathe with relief.
“Do not miss his return, Ai,” order aunt Risa.
“Ready, Aunt. Thank you, Ai go first,” Rainy said as he waved his hand, not knowing that the aunt was now worrying about him and was disappointed by Rainy's lies.
Rainy went to use an online motorcycle taxi, arriving there as usual, Azura greeted him first. When it went deeper, other cafe employees greeted Rainy, with warm greetings from the girl.
Everything went smoothly, customers were quite crowded but not too full until Rainy had to go back and forth to deliver orders. Until when only a few customers remained and Rainy could catch his breath slightly, Azura said something that made Rainy a little scared.
“On Saturday yesterday, there was something you wanted. I forgot to tell you because a lot of people are willing to pay for drinks. Sampe malem, Brother really has forgotten, even earlier malem fit to sleep new keingetan you.”
Azura chuckled until her eyes narrowed, in contrast to Rainy who felt an unpleasant feeling. “What's the guy, brother? What is she doing?”
Azura told him everything, how the woman looked and what questions were asked about Rainy.
In an agitated state Rainy tried to keep thinking positively.
***
After returning from the cafe, Rainy saw Aunt Risa standing in front of the terrace of her house. The face looked worried until when Rainy arrived before him, Aunt Risa nagged while examining some parts of Rainy's body, fearing that there was an injury.
“Kok malem really, Ai? Aunty is afraid of you why-why, have been a few days you go home malem continue, make Aunt always thought .. ”
Rainy who heard it felt guilty, his head lowered deeply with both hands clutched together. “Sorry, sorry, Aunt. I didn't mean to worry Auntie.”
“Aksa aja already home, Auntie thought you would go home with him. But even the clock is new until.”
Rainy lowered his head, speechless, as Rainy had lied.
Seeing Rainy like that certainly makes aunt Risa not bear, aunt immediately told Rainy to immediately clean up and then dinner. Only Rainy hasn't, because aunt and om Abra have eaten first.
Aunty accompanied Rainy to dinner, after the girl was about to go to the room, then the aunt went to her own room.
Rainy heard his phone ringing when he had just entered his room. He grabs the object on his study table, sees Bhara's name there without thinking Rainy presses the green button and attaches it to his ear.
“Halo, Bang, why?” asked Rainy who was now sitting on his desk chair.
“There are you hiding from Abang?”
Rainy frowned not understanding. Especially when hearing Bhara's unusual tone of voice. “That is, Bang?”
“You don't trust your brother anymore, Dek? Spang-matang is not beside you, every you have a problem you pendem all alone.”
Rainy trembled, thinking that Bhara already knew something. “Bang, i-”
“So, why? You have problems with your finances until you have to work every time you go home from school? Why not tell my brother? Even though you're far away, you're definitely helping. Why you should be tired of working.”
Rainy choked, holding back his tears that were about to break. The girl closed her mouth. This is what Rainy was afraid of, if Bhara knew, it was certain after this that Bhara would fight with papa.
“Abang .. know where?” is from
“You don't need to know where you work. Just brother wants you to be honest, what problem do you have? Don't hold your own, Deck. You have a brother. Or do you not consider it your brother anymore? You don't need a brother anymore?”
“Ngak.” Rainy shook his head with tears flowing, he sobbed silently, only Bhara would know that he was crying.
“Jadi ... why?”
Rainy is confused, telling or not. But, if not for sure Bhara will continue to urge him. He took a deep breath and wiped his tears before speaking.
“Dek .. ” call Bhara.
“Papa stop sending money.”
One sentence from Rainy made the atmosphere suddenly quiet, Bhara was surprised for sure. Rainy knew, after this what Bhara would do. It was certain that Bhara would call his papa and get angry.
“Why not tell my brother from the beginning, Dek? Let Brother call Papa, ask why not send you money again.”
From her tone, Rainy knew Bhara was holding back anger. The girl looked down and bit her lower lip.
“Don't fight with Papa. Don't .. ” pinta Rainy.
“I'm sorry for not talking from the beginning, but don't tell Papa, don't fight because of me,” Rainy added again.
“Why? Why can't you? Papa should not stop sending money to you. Although angry, but it's Papa's responsibility to give you pocket money. Not barin his son work to be able to get money.”
“Bang .. ” Rainy apply.
Not yet had time to add a word, Bhara has turned off the phone connection unilaterally. It made Rainy sob and feel even more afraid. He drowned his face between the folds of his knees.
Rainy was not aware, if Risa's aunt heard everything from behind the door of the room was also sad to hear the problems her nephew experienced.
