MYS 10
…
"Come on, Res, Annalia is a tomboy. How does she understand that." interrupted Stefie. And immediately agreed by them with a nod three times.
"You really... have a tomboyish girlfriend like that. It's possible that later you'll be a tomboy too." Rika shouted half laughing.
"Duh, Ris... you should be happy, so there's less competition." tease Stefie.
"You too, Stef?"
"Me? Jonathan is too hard to reach, better wash your eyes."
"That's true. Besides, I heard that he has no interest in village girls like us."
"It's okay... I'm not. I'm from the capital. Write it down." Stefie squeaked not being equated with the original Prembun girl.
"Yeah, sorry, city girl. Hihihihi..." laughed Resti with a funny face.
I can only listen to these three absurd girls talk. It seemed, wherever the school was, there would be topics of this kind of conversation.
Then, where have I been?
During school, what did I talk about with my classmates?
The answer is none.
In the past, I didn't have that kind of thought for a second. I'm just busy complaining about my fate that every year I move around and vent it by playing badminton, or hanging out with the parking attendants, or begging for the love of the ladies at the stalls near the station to be able to watch the badminton Olympic games.
I just realized it now. It turned out that I was that ancient from the past until this moment. I am poor in modern society. That's also what makes me only feel comfortable being friends with Ana rather than Duo R or Stefie.
I suddenly felt ostracized from the girl species group. It turned out to be not that interesting to participate in the discussion arena within the scope of the class girls. I'm just a grain of dust in the desert sea. Super small, almost invisible, and barely noticeable and can disappear at any time when it rains.
"I...Anggi...!" cried Ana who suddenly appeared from the door. He was breathing heavily as if he had run.
"Why An? It's like being chased by a demon," said Stefie who was also surprised.
The class had ended five minutes ago, I was getting ready to go home with Stefie.
"Come to my house now. It's important." Ana orders as she walks over to my desk.
"What is it?"
"Today there is an impromptu social gathering. Mama asked me to go home to help but now I have to go to Tamtam to compete. So you have to help, right?"
"But I promised to play with Stefie." I squeaked then turned to Stefie for help.
I'm in a dilemma between two options.
"Stef, can I borrow Anggi first today?" without permission Ana immediately grabbed.
"Hmmm... what can I do, Anggi, it seems that you are more needed by Ana's mother. We can play together sometime," said Stefie who immediately left. I'm sure he's disappointed.
"Come on." invite Ana to drag me to the park.
How come, I feel very bad for Stefie and Ana too. I feel betrayed. But, to be honest, deep in my heart, I prefer to help out at social gatherings rather than having beautiful conversations while watching Korean dramas that have been planned by Stefie and Duo R.
"Are you coming home first?" I asked, still confused because of the effects of being dragged into the parking lot.
"Duh, I can't, Anggi. I've been waiting for this. Here are the keys to my motorbike, I can take my bag home, okay?" said Ana in a hurry as she handed over her backpack and motorcycle ignition key, then ran away. Disappear behind the walls of the TU office.
Maybe there were five minutes of me standing in the parking lot. Suer, still confused. Not because I can't bring a motorbike, not because I don't have a driver's license, or because I don't know the way to Ana's house. But, this is the story of me coming home from school directly to Ana's house without being with the host. I have never experienced anything like this in my life.
"Why are you daydreaming?"
"Why are you here?"
"I went by motorbike, the car was already full of seniors."
"Then where are Edi and Ebi?"
"They took the coach car as well as documentation."
"Why don't you come with me?"
"Why do you ask so many questions? Even though I already answered." Jono grumbled a little annoyed. Staring at me with a horrified look.
"Oh..." I'm at a loss for words.
"Think you want to run away," I added original.
"That was the intention and it turned out that I needed to go back home for a while. Something was left behind, and Edi also asked for a change of shirt."
"Yeah, that's it. Hurry home, or you'll miss it."
"Aren't you going to Ana's house? Let's be together." invite Jono to pay attention.
"No need. I can take a motorbike."
"Yes, I know. What I'm worried about is the safety of Ana's motorbike. Hahaha..." Jono laughed without any intention of laughing, which made the laughter sound weird.
"Whatever." I snapped suddenly annoyed with myself. I realized that I'm not the type to worry about. But the newest model Scoopy is Ana who I have to take good care of until I get home with the last drop of blood.
"Yee...that's just annoying. By the way, when are you going to buy the HP that I offered you yesterday?"
"That's the X series right?"
"I guess so."
"I dare not Jon. Too expensive."
"How expensive is it? I'm selling it for one hundred thousand rupiahs, Ngi."
"Yes, that's him... the price of the second hand is only five million. I just want to pay one hundred. Later I'll be thought to be a helper."
"Who dares to say that?"
"Yes, next time there will be... I don't dare. I'm sorry." I have a little regret when I say that. iPhone X for a hundred thousand? Maybe if my brain shifts just a little, I'll immediately take the HP.
"Okay, okay... so how much do you want to pay? How much can you afford to pay?" On this basis, the child is still insistent.
"Just look for another buyer, Jono." I squeaked, talking for a long time I might not reach Ana's house.
In the end, I ignored Jono's rambling who knows what else. As fast as I could, I raced Ana's motorbike on a less crowded street.
In the afternoon after the rain fell, even the occasional drizzle still fell until a beautiful rainbow arch was created in the distance. I know Jono is still behind the motorbike that I brought. Because I don't care and the afternoon rainbow when it's drizzling is too good not to be enjoyed, I drove my motorbike at a moderate speed. Until fifteen minutes passed, bringing me to Ana's big house.
"Jon, what's your cellphone number?" I asked for a moment when I realized he had parked his motorbike next to Ana's motorbike.

Saturday and Sunday can be said as independence days for me. How come? After one week I was busy with school activities that drained my body and soul energy, finally, I was able to become an Anggi who loves badminton with all my heart.
