Leaving the School Area
"Seriously, where's Nusa? I'm waiting for her, but she's like someone who hasn't been waited on, hasn't even been seen since."
El repeatedly glanced at the clock in his hand. He exhaled, feeling that he had waited too long but to no avail.
Finally, he saw Priska and her two friends who had just come out of the school building. He immediately left the motorbike and jogged towards the 3 girls he should have avoided, but what can you do, right? He had to ask.
El stopped in front of them and got surprised faces as well as faces looking at him with smiles that looked very happy.
"Huh, my prince is coming, he wants to take me home with him, right? Oh, it's clear, in my history, there has not been a single boy who refused—"
"Do not be too confident."
El looked at Priska with embarrassment, who would want to take the girl home? There is not any. Even if Priska is the last girl on earth, he will also not spare time to spend with her.
Priska lowered her smile, then raised an eyebrow when she saw El's face, which looked like she was looking for someone.
"Then why are you still here other than waiting for Priska?" This is what Disty said while nudging Nika so that her best friend agreed with what she said.
Nika nodded her head, agreeing with Disty's words where they always compromise with each other. "Yes, I've taken Priska home, after all, why is an El still at school? Usually, you go straight home without thinking."
El who heard that also seemed to close his ears, not listening to Disty's or Nika's words, who supported Priska. "No thanks. And yes, my return is none of your business," he replied coldly.
He reached into his trouser pocket to take out his cellphone, then looked into the message room with Nusa. The last time the girl was online was at home, saying that she had to clean the class, the rest there was no news.
El exhaled, he sent another message to Nusa because the girl was still his responsibility according to Rehan's mandate.
Priska smiled silently, she glanced at Disty and Nika to carry out their next plan. "Ehem!" She cleared her throat to get El's attention, and finally, the boy looked back at her. "Where's Nusa? Don't you want to go together, take her home at the same time? But I don't see where Nuda is. Are you lying? You didn't go with Nusa, you just wanted to avoid me."
Hearing that, El raised an eyebrow while clutching his chest. "Wrong," he replied. Short, concise, and sharp.
"Then, if you go together, where is Nusa?"
"This I want to ask you, where is Nusa?"
Priska chuckled a little, she reached out her hand intending to stroke El's shoulder but was immediately pushed away roughly by that one guy. "Are you asking me about her? I thought you two weren't going. When you were playing basketball, I saw Nusa walking back to the gate." She said in a tone that was made serious so that the boy in front of her believed it.
El who heard that changed his face to be very flat felt cheated by Nusa.
Nusa told him that she was cleaning class, she was avoiding him? His face tightened, he lowered his arms crossed in front of his chest. "Oh." That's all the answer.
Hearing El's answer, which was very simple, even without any expression, made Priska, Disty, Nika, look at each other in surprise.
"Aren't you mad, El?" asked Nika. It's like representing Priska who can hardly believe that El doesn't have feelings, maybe?
El chuckled lightly, not a casual chuckle but a somewhat sinister-looking chuckle. "Angry? No." after that he prefers to turn around.
Leaving Priska and her friends who seemed to be thinking.
Why does El believe in them? The first reason is that the school building is empty in the sense of what kind of stupid girl is a new child who hasn't been in school for long because she doesn't have any additional activities? Second, it's also possible that Nusa hasn't come home because he knows that the girl is not usually without saying goodbye. In conclusion, he better go home now or hangs out with his friends.
Standing next to his big motorbike, then contacting Reza to ask where the whereabouts of that one guy who must be with Mario right now.
"Hello El!" said Mario's voice on the other side.
El had guessed, it must have always been the two of them. There is Reza, there must be Mario and vice versa.
"Where are you?" asked El very coldly.
To be honest he was very upset to be treated like this by a girl. He had been waiting for a long time, but there was no sign whatsoever that the person he had been waiting for would appear while apologizing if he was late, VERY LATE.
"Everywhere my heart is happy, there is joy, here it is happy, in other places my heart is happy."
If he called his two friends, it would be a big mistake if Mario answered, because the answer was not clear, it would sound irritating.
El snorted. "Answer properly." He says.
There was laughter from the other end, like a ridiculous laugh that refused to reveal its position but was forced to say it because the other person was a lump of ice. "Yes, yes, El, peace, we are at peace."
"Answer me immediately, Mario."
That's right, Mario likes to procrastinate. Even though he could have answered right away but the guy had just delayed it.
There was a groan from the other side, not to mention Reza's voice saying 'the food is really good, auntie'. Suspicious.
"At your house, El."
"What are you two doing at my house?"
"Just a visit, get a free lunch because Reza and I don't have any more money or what we call it, we both want to be economical for future savings."
El who heard that rolled his eyes. Despite having a lot of money, they say free food is much more appetizing.
"Yes, I know."
Just wanted to turn off the phone, Mario suddenly held it. "Eh eh eh El, don't turn off the phone first."
El raised an eyebrow, then turned to Priska and her two friends were just a few minutes ago. Luckily, they had gone and left him here alone. If they were still there, it would make him very uncomfortable. "What?"
"You want to go home? Why so soon? Not cancel going with Nusa, right?" Mario asked in a small voice there, El was lucky enough with a man who didn't open up his relationship with Nusa.
But El was now racking his brains, wanting to answer whatever he didn't know. Finally, take a deep breath, then exhale slowly. "No, she turned out to be home alone," he answered.
"Oh then come back here, your house is always open to you."
"Indifferent."

El turned off the phone, then tucked the flat object into his trouser pocket. He rides his favorite motorbike, followed by wearing a helmet. After that, he started riding a motorcycle and left the school grounds where there were still some students who still had an interest in school, including Nusa without El's knowledge.
Along with El's departure, three girls were high fives as if celebrating the victory and the plan went very smoothly without any problems. "SUCCEED!" they laugh, the best revenge is like this.
It has not been seen that El is angry with their behavior, for sure tomorrow will be more exciting than today and the previous days.
