SINCE Lupus had the idea to build a tent stall on the side of the road with Mami and Lulu, the Lupus family's finances have really improved. Mami's cooking, which can make your tongue shake (duile, the term!), makes Lupus' stall so popular with customers. Young people and office people often eat snacks there. So far, Mami has only taken care of catering and orders
just challenge the neighbors. However, since the tent stall business started to spread, Lupus encouraged Mami to build her own stall. Mom agrees. With the capital taken from Mami and Lupus' savings, the tent shop was built. Coincidentally, Lupus got quite strategic land. Near offices and schools. So, yeah, have fun. Like that afternoon, the stall had just opened but the visitors were already busy. In the kitchen of her small shop, Mami and her two helpers are busy making various food and drink orders.
Among the visitors were Poppi and Nyit Nyit. Lulu was the one who delivered the milkshake order to Poppi and Nyit Nyit's table, so she was also surprised to see her excited sister there. It's very rare for Poppi to stop by.
"Thank you, Lu...," said Poppi politely, when her order was placed
at the table by Lulu.
"You're welcome. Are there any other orders?" Lulu asked again.
"Later. Want to finish this first..." Poppi immediately stirred
the milkshake.
Lulu smiled, then while placing the tray on her back, she
said, "Lupus will definitely regret it... .”
"Why do you regret it?" Poppi asked.
"He's leaving, even though Mbak Poppi is here...," said Lulu again.
Poppi laughed. Nyit Nyit looked at Poppi.
But unexpectedly, Lupus suddenly appeared at the shop. But Lupus is not alone. He came together with Trixie. And the two children's faces looked really happy, joking and laughing all the time. Until I didn't notice there were Poppi and Nyit Nyit in the stall.
Lulu was clearly shocked to see Lupus suddenly come with another girl. Poppi and Nyit Nyit especially. And only a few moments later, Lupus "groped" when Poppi was in his shop. Lupus was shocked. “Uh, Pop? When are you coming here?" asked Lupus. "It's new...," said Poppi.
“It's been a long time, Pus. Lulu is serving... Where have you been?"
Lulu grabbed.
As soon as Trixie heard Lulu say her name, she immediately approached the sassy child. “Oh, it's Lulu, huh? "Let me introduce myself, I'm Trixie..."
Lulu was a little confused when Trixie suddenly stretched out her hand, inviting her to meet her. But he didn't fail to welcome Trixie's greeting and approval. Lupus, who wanted to accompany Poppi, was immediately grabbed by Tnxie. “Eh, Pussy, where is your Mami? He said let me introduce you."
"Oh yes..." Lupus then walked to his stall cart, to the place
Mami usually cooks. Then Lupus pulls Mami's hand out of the kitchen stall. “Mi, this is Lupus' friend... let me introduce myself. . ..”
Mami smiled, then wiped her hands on her apron "Oh, sorry, Auntie's hands are a bit dirty..." . .
"It's okay, Auntie. Let me know, I'm TnxIe, Lupus' girlfriend....
Hehehe..." Trixie immediately shook hands with Mami as she spoke
speak out loud. Trixie was clearly joking, but Lupus, who heard it, was shocked beyond belief. Because there is Poppi, it's not good. Eh, I mean, Lupus is still crushing on Poppi, right? And Poppi, who heard Trixie's confession, was a bit shocked and looked at each other with Nyit Nyit.
Meanwhile, Mami relaxed in response to Trixie's joke. “Lupus' girlfriend? How come someone wants to be Lupus' girlfriend?" Trixie laughed. After that, they chatted intimately. Wow, but Trixie is really cool. She's really the type of girl who likes to joke around. It's clear that Lupus doesn't like Poppi. Yes, even though Poppi hasn't become anything yet, at least Lupus still hopes for Poppi. This means that the road to getting Poppi shouldn't just be closed. But, never mind if that's the case. It seems like if you don't get Poppi, Trixie is okay... If that's the case
Trixie really wants to be with Lupus, Lupus doesn't seem to refuse either. That's why in the evening Mami teased Lupus and Trixie, Lupus was a little proud too. Moreover, Mami always praises that Trixie is a cute child. "Then where are you going Poppi?" Lulu teased.
"I don't know. Poppi doesn't necessarily get it. As for Trixie, right...” Lupus groaned.
And the next day the news that Lupus had happened to Trixie immediately spread to the children. The girls at school were gossiping wildly. Only Poppi isn't interested in gossiping about Lupus, bro, Trixie. The reason, you know! Poppi was a bit disappointed.
"How come Lupus has already dated Trixie?" said Meta, starting the gossip event.
“Yeah, really. Just yesterday, Trixie was introduced to Calmer, aka Lupus's mother. Is that right, Pop?” said Nyit Nyit while nudging Poppi. Poppi, who was busy writing something, just nodded. I don't want to respond any further.
“Wow, that's really cool, isn't it? I also want to have a girl who plays in a band! Lupus is indeed the luckiest guy in the world!” Adi - the only guy who joined in among the girls - gave a response.
"Uh, even though in the past it seemed like Lupus hated that girl...," said Meta.
“Love can change people... Just two people who are enemies
"You can get merit," said Ita, acting wisely
"But it really suits Lupus and Trixie," said Meta again, glancing at Poppi. “Both are equally ignorant...”
Poppi's ears got a little hot when she heard the chatter. But it's true. Since becoming the topic of conversation, Lupus has become even more attached to Trixie. Whether in class, in the canteen, coming home from school, Lupus was always with Trixie. Just Boim and Gusur until you ignore it. Lupus often accompanies Trixie to perform at other school events, which happen to invite Trixie's band. Where Trixie performs, Lupus always faithfully waits behind the stage. That afternoon, the story goes that Trixie was invited to perform at a private high school in the Kebayoran Baru area. As soon as he finished the gig, Lupus, as usual, immediately handed him a soft drink, saying, "Just now when you were performing, your cellphone rang. But when I picked it up, it turned off."
"Ah, most of all Bas," said Trixie as she took the cellphone
presented with Lupus.
"Bass?"
“Sebastian, my ex at that time. Have you forgotten? Even though it's done
broke up, that guy was always chasing me. He doesn't seem to be
"I'm going to let you go," explained Trixie, wiping the sweat on her face
forehead. Then suddenly Trixie turned to Lupus. “Uh, Pussy. Lol
Will you help me?"
"Help me with what?"
“Look, Pussy. I dumped Bas because the kid likes to get drunk and use putaw. Well, lately he admits that he has given up. I don't use it anymore. And he wanted to meet me again, asked me to make amends.
But I don't want to. So, do you want to accompany me to meet him? So he knows, I'm with you. Then don't bother me anymore."
Lupus nodded.
Trixie smiled happily. “Thanks, Pussy!”

That night in his room Lupus was busy reading while smoothing his forelock. Don't forget to chew gum, so he looks cool. The clothes are also very trendy. Tight, Ma aan! And while he was busy smiling to himself in front of the mirror, suddenly Lulu's face appeared and went behind the door. Lulu stared blankly at Lupus, smiling to himself. Then Lulu laughed really hard. Lupus was clearly shocked, and immediately became angry himself.
"Damn you, it's just surprising!" cursed Lupus.
“Huahahahaha.... Besides, you're smiling alone in front of you
glass. Where do you want to go? "It's really funky," Lulu teased. “Thanks. for the compliment. I'm going on a date, please."
Mami, who appeared at the door, also giggled when she saw Lupus, who looked so neat and so neat. Mami then sat on the bed with Lulu. “Who are you on a date with, Pus? Trixie, huh?” "Yes, Mi." Lupus then got ready to go.
"Good luck, Pus. "Hopefully the date will be successful," said Lulu. Lupus smiled, then looked again. Lulu and Mami looked at each other, and immediately burst out laughing again.
"You are now like Adi Darwis! Just keep reading!" Lulu said.
Lupus is annoyed, immediately remove it.
And in a cafe shaped like a double-decker bus in the Semanggi tent stall area, Lupus met Trixie. Trixie immediately praised Lupus' appearance. "You're really cool, Pussy."
Lupus smiled brightly. "Thanks, you're cool too."
Not long after, Bas came. And he turns out to be much neater than Lupus. Very different from the last time we met Lupus. His hair is long, cut into a Tin Tin style crew cut. And Bas came in a luxury car. Trixie was surprised to see that her ex had changed so much. "Bass? How is it different? "Until I'm panling, I...," said Trixie warmly.
Bas just smiled, then glanced at Lupus briefly. Trixie introduces Lupus to Bas. It wasn't long before they were involved in an exciting conversation. Until you laugh. Trixie saw that Bas had really changed. His attitude is no longer rude. And when he was about to go home, Bas immediately offered to pay all the food and drink bills.
"I was the one who invited you, so I'm the one paying...," explained Bas.
After that, Bas said goodbye and went home.
“Oh yeah. "We're going home too," said Trixie, glancing at him
Lupus, so that Bas will be jealous. "You're leaving me alone, aren't you, Pussy?"
Lupus nodded. Trixie was happy, then suddenly she kissed him
Lupus cheeks. Lupus was a little surprised, but his face immediately changed
like. Bas was also shocked, but said nothing.
Bas felt that Trixie was deliberately arousing him.
***
At that time I was going out to play. There were only a few children in the class. Among them are Lupus and Trixie. Trixie is busy catching up on the lessons she missed from Lupus' book, while Lupus accompanies her while she eats bakwan. While Tnxie writes, Lupus likes to keep looking at Trixie's face from the side. Admire her beauty. Trixie felt stared at, so she looked at Lupus. “Why, Pussy?”
Lupus was a bit surprised, he was caught looking at Trixie. He immediately spontaneously handed out a bakwan to divert Trixie's attention. “Eh, e-no... d-want bakwan?”
“No, I'm full.” Trixie continued singing. And Lupus stole a glance at Trixie again. When Trixie looks, Lupus pretends to look at Trixie's book.
After finishing her song, Trixie immediately returned her book to Lupus, then put all the stationery and her own book into her bag. Lupus was clearly surprised. "Are you going home, Trix?"
Trixie nodded. “There's practice...”
"Do you want to be delivered?" offer Lupus.
Trixie shook her head. "Do not have to. You're taking the last lesson, right? I'll borrow your notes later, okay?"
Lupus nodded. Trixie was happy, then stroked Lupus' cheek. He then hurriedly picked up his bag and left the classroom. Lupus leaned back in his chair, holding his cheek which Trixie had stroked. His face was dreamy. His heart is happy and full of love. Suddenly his gaze fell on the bench drawer. Trixie's pe-er book is behind!!! Lupus hurriedly took the book, and ran out of the classroom.
In the school yard, Lupus, who was looking for Trixie, ran into Poppi and Nyit Nyit. "Uh, Pop... have you seen Trixie?" asked Lupus.
"I think I've gone home. I was in a hurry to hail a taxi... Why?
anyway?”
Lupus shows him his book. “I forgot my homework book. It's a shame he can't do a physics course. Later, Mr. Punk..."
Lupus looked very panicked.
“Pus, it seems like you really care about Trixie. Are you really in love with him?" Nyit Nyit fishing rod.
"Yeah, I think I want to do it..." said Lupus nonchalantly, as he went back to class.
Lupus' short speech turned out to have quite an extraordinary impact on Poppi. Frankly, all this time he was still torn between two lovers. His heart was torn between wanting to be with Rainbow, or waiting for Lupus to have the guts to confess his love for her. But with Lupus' decision just now, Poppi seems to have immediately erased Lupus' name from her heart. Recently Rainbow has shot him several times and said he wants to be with Poppi. But Poppi didn't give me an answer. Now, why else are you waiting for Lupus? Lupus himself has said that he wants to be with Trixie.
So when that night Rainbow came and once again asked Poppi for an answer, Poppi already had a definite decision. "Do you really love me?" Poppi's fishing rod. . Rainbow showed seriousness on her face. "I asked you to be my secretary for what reason? Because I want to be with you all the time. Because I love you."
Poppi then fell silent. His face fell. Rainbow drew closer to Poppi. Then his hand lifted Poppi's face so he looked at her face.
"What makes you doubt me?" Pappi shook his head.
"Will you be my lover?"
Poppi nodded. Rainbow was happy, Poppi hugged her. And so they are!
Meanwhile, the same feeling of love is also sweeping through Lupus' heart. That same night in his room, Lupus had made up his mind to be with Trixie. Because Trixie is already in hand. She herself has admitted to Mami that she is Lupus' girl. So that night Lupus intended to come to Trixie's house, all of you
returned his lost book. I want to express my love too. And to prove this declaration of love, Lupus has also prepared a special gift. What? Wow, that's really fun. Since that afternoon, with great love, Lupus had prepared a bar of chocolate for Trixie.
Chocolate is not just any chocolate. The Toblerone chocolate, which has a white wrapper, is colored with pink highlighter and wrapped nicely with a pink ribbon too. That's a sincere statement of love from Lupus!
Lulu, who then appeared in her room, was immediately attracted to the chocolate made by Lupus.
"Oh, Pus, did you know that Lulu likes chocolate...," said Lulu excitedly. Lupus hurriedly hid his pink chocolate. "It's delicious, who's to say it's for you?"
"After all, who is it for!"
"Want to know!"
“Naaaa, definitely for Trixie, huh? Not enough work, dye everything pink. "It's better to just give it to Lulu," Lulu teased.
"There's no benefit in giving it to you.... Go far away.... Just bother!"
expel Lupus cruelly.
Lulu left while sulking. "Uh, annoyed. Watch out, okay?"
And to celebrate her birthday, that night the story goes that Poppi wanted to cook food for Rainbow. So, accompanied by Rainbow, Poppi went shopping at the supermarket. Unexpectedly, at the supermarket they actually met Trixie who was also shopping with Bas. Poppi immediately glanced at Bas. "Uh, Trixie... with who?"
"Hi, Pop... This is my guy, Sebastian..." Trixie said cheerfully, introducing the boy next to her. The guy? Pappi was immediately shocked when he looked at Bas. Bas then greeted Poppi and Rainbow. So, what about Lupus?
"Going shopping, Trix?" Poppi asked again.
Trixie smiled, then leaned intimately against Bas. "Eng... we want to celebrate our comeback together..."
"Oh!" Pappi was even more shocked. But he tried as hard as he could
hold back his emotional turmoil.
“First, okay?” Trixie said later.
Poppi and Rainbow nodded. They separated. After Trixie left, Poppi was still confused. Rainbow was surprised, and asked Pappi, what's the problem?
"Bow, can I borrow your cellphone for a moment?"
“Sure!” Rainbow gave him his cellphone. Poppi immediately called Lupus' house. The one who received Lulu, while the Lupus has gone. “Wow, Miss Poppi... Lupus said he went to Trixie's house... He said that
want to confess his love.. .. Hihihi, what a sassy child now. Where to bring a chocolate gift, again. When all the chocolate is colored pink, Sis... So romantic, huh? Lulu will never
I got another portion of chocolate..."
Poppi couldn't help but feel sad when she heard Lulu's story.
And it's true. That night Lupus went to Trixie's house. People at home said Trixie was away. But Lupus insisted on waiting for Trixie to come home, while idly reading a magazine on the terrace. A cup of tea that was half drunk accompanied him. Toblerone chocolate that had been dyed pink and given a ribbon was also lying sweetly on the table. Ready to give to Trixie. Next to the chocolates lay Trixie's pe-er book.
While he was engrossed in reading a magazine, Bas' luxury sedan stopped. Trixie and Bas climbed out of it. Lupus stood up. He was a bit surprised to see Trixie coming home with Bas. Lupus hurriedly put the chocolate in his pocket.
Trixie greeted Lupus cheerfully. “Hi, Pussy... has it been a long time? Coincidentally you are here. I want to cook with Bas... celebrate the two of us who are back again..."
Trixie's words were like lightning that struck on that cold night. But Lupus' mouth just said, "Oh..." "Come along and eat, okay?" Bas bargain is friendly.
“Yes, Pus. You're my good friend. "Because we met yesterday, Bas and I are feeling better again," insisted Trixie.
Lupus is half dead holding back his feelings. He felt like he couldn't stand there any longer, if he didn't want to faint. So Lupus politely declined the offer to eat. "Oh, that's okay. I've eaten. Good luck to you guys.... Ng, g-I just want to
Bring in your homework book that you missed..."
Lupus then handed over Trixie's peer book. "Well, I have to go again. There's a promise."
Trixie's face looked a little apologetic. "Oh, it's a shame you can't join in. Why don't you want to come celebrate with us?"
And while hugging Trixie's shoulder, Bas Also tried to urge, “Yes, Pus. Come on!"
"Sorry, I really can't..." Lupus glanced at the clock, then
hurry to leave. Wow, I'm late.... Have fun, okay?”
"Alright. Daaag, Lupuuuus..."
After waving at each other, Lupus left. With a heart that is broken into pieces. His heart was very sad and disappointed. While starting his Vespa in the cold night in the city of Jakarta, Lupus remembered Mami's words. Mami said, happiness is only slightly different from sadness. A second ago we were happy, a second later we were immediately sad again. Mami also said, if we dare to fall in love, we must dare to break our hearts. If we expect a lot from people, we must be prepared to be disappointed. Because the people we love most have a big chance of hurting us.
And Kahlil Gibran said, if love calls you, follow it. Even if the road you take is slippery and steep, and if its wings embrace you, surrender. Even if the sword hidden at the tip of its wings hurts you...
And that's what Lupus feels now. His heart felt like it had been cut by a sharp sword. But as a boy, Lupus doesn't want to shed tears, just because he is disappointed in love. Lupus felt he had to take the risk.
Apart from that, Lupus still has one hope. At least to comfort his sad heart. Who? Poppi. Yes, Lupus would be better off giving the pink chocolate to Poppi. So when he passed the public telephone, Lupus called Poppi. Coincidentally, Pappi had already arrived home.
“Pop. are you at home? Can you play there or not?' asked Lupus. Poppi's answer on the other end of the phone was a little hesitant, “Eh, oh, y-you want to come here? Ng, how's it going, huh?"
“You want chocolate, don't you?” offer Lupus again.
While answering Lupus' phone at the dining table, Poppi glanced at Rainbow who was sitting next to her. Poppi knows that Lupus has just been heartbroken, but he doesn't want to talk about his meeting with Trixie and Bas.
"Chocolate? Ng, no, Pus... afraid of acne... . I'm just eating anyway!"
Lupus was disappointed. But he knows, there is something with Poppi. Lupus feels that Poppi is not free to talk. "You have guests, right?"
"Yes. "There's Rainbow.... Ng, I-I've been with Rainbow," I admitted
Poppy. .
Lupus sighed in disappointment. This time he found it increasingly difficult to hold back his tears.
“Oh, okay then that's how it is. Bye, Pop.” "Daag..." Poppi put down the phone.
In the end, Lupus could only daydream alone while eating chocolate on the side of the road.
And a few days after that incident, Trixie moved school to Bandung, joining her father who worked there. Bas also said he attended school in Bandung. Since then, Lupus never heard from him again. And Lupus, as usual, was alone again.
Alone again naturally....
