"POPPIII..."
Lupus' call broke the sound of the rain that was getting heavier. Poppi turned around. But when she saw the person calling Lupus, Poppi wanted to run. He was very embarrassed about Lupus. But Lupus continued to chase and try to catch Poppi. Poppi, who is not a descendant of athletes, was finally caught. Poppi could only sob when she was helpless in Lupus' eyes.
"P-pussy... R-rainbow... Rainbow...." Poppi sobbed.
Lupus' index finger told Poppi to be quiet. But Poppi just kept crying. Finally, Lupus added another index finger to keep Poppi quiet. But Lupus's attempt to signal with his index finger was in vain.
"Pop, should I stick out my big toe to signal you not to cry anymore?" Lupus said silly. Poppi laughed through her tears. But his emotions were unbearable. He hugged Lupus... Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. Lupus also tries to calm Poppi, under an umbrella, in the rain, on the sidewalk, with the rain curtain getting tighter.
"You want to go home?" Lupus asked again.
Poppi nodded.
"Do you want to take a taxi or do you want to ride a Vespa?"
"Let me just take a taxi, Pus, you just go back in there, it's a pity for the children if you're not there," said Poppi between sobs.
"No, I haven't taken a taxi for a long time. Can I take you home and take a taxi?"
"Your Vespa?"
"Let Adi bring it."
Poppi smiled. He likes the innocence of Lupus Tang's comments, sometimes when you look closely they actually have a very high human meaning.
A blue taxi with a logo stopped right in front of them. Lupus opens the back door for Poppi.
***
In the morning Poppi looked pale. He lay in his room, covering his body with a thick blanket. His gaze was blank.
"Pop, there's a call from Rainbow. Do you want to take it?" said Poppi's mother who suddenly entered the room.
Poppi shook her head and turned around. Mami just shrugged her shoulders and then went out again.
Meanwhile at school, Lupus wanders around the classroom looking for Poppi. He didn't know that Poppi was sick. Luckily there was Nyit Nyit who told me.
"Pus, Poppi isn't coming in today."
"Oh yeah? Why? Does it hurt?" Lupus guessed.
Nyit Nyit nodded. "After getting caught in the rain, how can it not hurt? Ugh, I'm really annoyed with Rainbow, if I meet her I'll want to punch her!"
Eh, just as Nyit Nyit said that, Rainbow suddenly appeared in the classroom doorway. Nyit Nyit immediately became annoyed, Lupus smiled seductively.
"See, someone's coming. Just punch me..." Lupus whispered, teasing Nyit Nyit.
"Where's Poppi?" Rainbow asked breaking the atmosphere.
Nyit Nyit, who still had a sour face, answered, "Poppi is sick, but her heart hurts even more!"
Rainbow was stunned, she felt that her presence was not liked in the class, then stepped out.
When Lupus came home from school he asked Nyit Nyit to see Poppi.
"Come on, come in... Sorry, I just peeked," said Poppi's mother
When the bell was pressed, Lupus didn't immediately open it, but instead took a peek. "Because Poppi ordered, if Rainbow comes, you can't come in."
Lupus and Nyit Nyit smiled.
"Just go straight to the room, okay? Poppi still doesn't want to leave the room. Auntie is surprised, why the child got so caught in the rain...," said Poppi's mother as she walked towards her daughter's room. Lupus and Nyit Nyit follow Poppi's mother.
Poppi, who was still under the blanket, stared blankly at the ceiling. His eyes were puffy and he was crying most of the time. At that moment the bedroom door opened, and her mother said, "Poppi, here are your friends..."
"Hello, Poppi...," said Nyit Nyit. Poppi just smiled faintly.
Nyit Nyit and Poppi immediately sun-tanned their left cheek, right cheek. Meanwhile, Lupus reluctantly placed the fruit on the table near Poppi's bed.
"Auntie, stay first, okay?" said Poppi's mother as she left the room.
"Thank you, I've come..." said Poppi.
"What's wrong with you? How did it come to this?" asked Nyit Nyit.
Poppi just smiled a little.
"You're okay, right? How can we help you, my friend?" Nyit Nyit deliberately put on a serious face and grabbed Poppi's finger.
Suddenly Poppi started sobbing again. Nyit Nyit was shocked. Lupus is also confused. But then Nyit Nyit stroked him trying to calm him down.
After a few minutes, Poppi spoke, "I'm embarrassed, I should have listened to what you two said, instead of getting angry."
"Never mind, Pop... you don't have to be so sad... Everyone
People also make mistakes when it comes to love.
"We-we really understand you..." said Nyit Nyit, acting wisely.
But Poppi was still crying.
Nyit Nyit didn't know what else to say, he then gave a code to Lupus.
"What?" Lupus doesn't stop. Nyit Nyit blinked his eyes. "You're lying, aren't you?"
"Uuuh, telmi, you!" whispered Nyit Nyit as he stood up and let Lupus take his place sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Ooh, what do you mean by this, why are you blinking all the time?" Lupus said.
And then Lupus took a deep breath to try to give advice to the girl whose blood flowed with longing.
"Yes, Pop. The important thing is that you just think about your health. So we can play together again at school..." said Lupus.
Nyit Nyit tries to understand Lupus. He left the room, leaving them alone. Left alone like that, Lupus became nervous.
His conversation started to get crazy. "Like the moon, Pop. "
But to be confused, slowly, his hand began to stroke Poppi's jet black and neatly groomed hair. Lupus, who had been timid, finally had the courage. From stiff movements, until finally normal. From just stroking your hair to finally looking for lice, he he he... just kidding!
"Pop, looking at what happened last night, I just realized that I couldn't bear to see you being hurt by someone. You're too good, too beautiful to be left behind. Let alone being hurt. So you don't need to be embarrassed, or feel like you have no self-worth. In my eyes , you are still an angel lost from heaven... Heaven must be missing an angel... Coz you're here today, with me..."
Poppi stopped crying, she looked at Lupus' face.
"On the day that you were born, the angels got together, to create a dream-came-true."
"You... you wrote down the song lyrics, didn't you?" Lupus nodded while grinning. Poppi smiled, and then looked further into Lupus' face. Lupus became nervous, not daring to meet Poppi's gaze.
"Do you have anything else to say?" look at Poppi again.
"Pop, I really love you. I've always loved you. But in the past I never told you because I was afraid you'd reject it. Now, I don't care whether it's rejected or accepted, the main thing is I have to be honest and say that I really love you."
You...."
Poppi was touched and hugged Lupus.
Meanwhile, Nyit Nyit, who left the room, deliberately accompanied Poppi's mother, who at that time was weeding and cutting ornamental plants in the house. "That's good, isn't it, Auntie?"
"Eh, Nyit Nyit. Yes, plants are living creatures like animals and humans. If we diligently care for them, they will be happy. And will give us the most beautiful things."
"So they have feelings too?" asked Nyit Nyit.
"Yes, bro. They can also be sad and cry if they are hurt. If you have a plant that you never take care of properly, it will definitely be damaged and die. It will be very resilient...," explained Poppi's mother again.
Their conversation stopped when they heard the sound of a bell up ahead.
"Just a moment, okay?" Mami Poppi handed the scissors and plant sprayer to Nyit Nyit. Then walked forward.
Nyit Nyit try to continue Mami Poppi's work.
In the living room, Poppi's mother opened the door.
It was Rainbow, who came bearing flowers. He stood in the doorway.
"Good afternoon, Auntie... is Poppi there?" Rainbow said politely.
Mami Poppi was surprised to see Rainbow's arrival. "Wow, there is... But, Poppi said she doesn't want to... er, Auntie means, she's still sick. She got rained on last night..."
Rainbow looked disappointed. "Oh, is that so? Hey, is Lupus inside? Because I saw his Vespa in front..."
"Yes, Lupus came with his friend, Nyit Nyit..." answered Poppi's mother. "But they came here to tidy up Auntie's plants..."
Hearing Rainbow's voice, Nyit Nyit also looked over. "What's wrong, Bow? Poppi said if there's an order, I'll deliver it."
"Oh, then please give these flowers to Poppi...," said Rainbow while giving the flowers to Nyit Nyit. "Come, Auntie, good afternoon..."
"Come. . . ."
***
A week has passed. But like the previous nights, that night Poppi still sat gloomy and pensive in front of the TV that was on. Mami Poppi appeared from the backyard carrying a small pot containing a plant. He looked at his son.
"Poppi, it's been a week since Mami saw that you weren't in good spirits. How come her heartache doesn't end?"
Poppi was too lazy to talk, and just smiled a little at her mother.
At home, Lupus was also sitting in front of the TV and daydreaming. Mami Lupus appeared from upstairs, her face full of mask. In his hand was a small plate containing the remains of the mask. Mami looked at the TV screen. The show is very boring. Economic dialogue, which talks about promoting theories, but Indonesia's economic situation has still not improved. Behind other ASEAN countries.
"Pus, please change the channel... I'm bored of continuing economic dialogue, but the crisis still doesn't end. The dollar keeps skyrocketing...," said Mami.
Lupus doesn't react. It's like he didn't hear what Mami was saying. Mami was surprised, then approached Lupus. Seeing her son so stunned, Mami sat down nearby.
"What's wrong, Pussy? Why are you so stunned?"
Lupus just realized his mother's presence, then turned around.
"Ah, no, Mi. It's a long story. I'll tell you later if I'm in the mood..." said Lupus.
Luckily the phone rang. Saved by the bell.
Lupus immediately got up to the telephone table, while Mami looked for the remote. "Which remote, Pus? Remote..."
Lupus ignored Mami, and instead talked on the phone. "Hello? Hi, Poppi, okay? Oh, no... just staring. OK. What can't you do, Pop? OK, I'll go there now... Wait, okay? Bye..."
Lupus put down the telephone receiver, then hurriedly took his motorbike keys on the kitchen key chain, and his helmet on the sideboard. Mami, who had found the remote, looked at Lupus. "Where are you going, Pussy? It's this late at night?"
"Go to Poppi's house first, Mi. Poppi is having problems," answered Lupus.
"Can't you just do it tomorrow? It's already ten o'clock."
"It said emergency..."
"Yes, that's it. Don't be too long, okay? Be careful on the road..."
"Okay. Go first, Mi. Assalamualaikum!" Lupus came out straight away.
"Waalaikumsalaaam." But suddenly Mami remembered something, she shouted out of the house,
"Eh, have you brought your KTP, Pus? Driver's license? STNK? There are lots of raids now Ihooo... You're not carrying illegal drugs, are you?"
But unfortunately, the sound of the Vespa Lupus can already be heard far away. Finally, Mami was engrossed in front of the TV again. Mami sat in front of the TV. Move channels. Suddenly the TV show immediately changed to a horror film. When the ghost image came out with a sound that shocked me, again. Mami was shocked to death, and screamed, "Waaaaaaa...."
Remembering that her mask was starting to stiffen, Mami panicked and hurriedly straightened her mask again.

Poppi stands on the dock with Lupus.
Poppi is venting again, her face is heavy. They wear jackets.
The night wind from the sea, tossing their hair.
"Pus, why is it that lately I can't think, I'm having a hard time keeping up with my lessons, I can't really concentrate, and I'm always sad," explained Poppi, starting her confide.
Lupus looked at Poppi. Then carefully asked, "Are you still seeing Rainbow?"
"At school, I like to avoid meeting him. I don't want to talk yet..." said Poppi weakly.
"You still love him? Do you still think about him?"
"I don't know. I don't know what I feel. I just feel empty..."
Lupus sighed. "Pop, you need a holiday. Just to release the burden on your mind. How about we go to the beach this weekend? Take the kids! Nyit Nyit, Adi, Boim, Gusur... By refreshing, you can definitely feel better!" Lupus advises.
Poppi turned to Lupus. "Yeah, yeah... Maybe you're right..."
Lupus spirit. "So you want to? I'll tell the kids later!"
Poppi nodded. Lupus smiled happily.
And the plan was immediately realized. Saturday afternoon, in front of Poppi's house, Nyit Nyit, Lupus and Poppi were getting ready to go on a picnic in a Mazda E 2000 van.
They were busy carrying bags and food into the car. Mami Poppi also helped. Their faces looked happy.
"So after this, you picked up the other kids?" Poppi's mother asked Lupus.
"Yes, Auntie. But only Adi, Boim and Gusur. Fifi didn't come, because she said she wanted to go on holiday to the Netherlands with her mother," explained Lupus.
Everything is ready. Poppi kissed her mother's cheek. "Let's go first, Mi..."
"Be careful...," said Poppi's mother.
"Excuse me, Auntie...," said Lupus and Nyit Nyit saying goodbye to Poppi's mother.
"Yeah... have fun!"
Poppi, Lupus, and Nyit Nyit got into the car. Not long after, all the magical creatures had gotten into the luxury van and everyone seemed happy to enjoy the trip. Eh, not all of them ding. Adi Darwis looked like he was hiding his thoughts. And he seemed restless waiting for something. As soon as the slow song from Poppi's car tape finished, Adi immediately deftly took out his Limp Bizzkitt cassette.
"Set my tape, will you?" said Adi Darwis.
"Ah, no!" Boim protested. "Your songs make me nauseous... Like
What is that? Rage... Rage what?"
"No! This isn't Rage Against the Machine. This is Limp Bizzkitt. The lyrics and music are lighter... OK? Right from my highway
I've made the sacrifice of listening to Poppi's cassettes all the time. I'm bored...
Please, pleaseeee...," Adi Darwis wailed.
Poppi feels sorry for Adi Darwis. "Yeah, that's it. Just set it."
Adi immediately got excited and put on the song. Boim immediately glared. As soon as the cassette was played, Adi immediately distributed candy for consumption. Move until you wake up from your sleep.
"Oh, this is a rock song, isn't it?"
***
Not long after, they arrived at the inn on the edge of Carita Beach. They immediately scrambled to choose a room. Nobody wants to sleep with Gusur, because he's a snorer.
"Im, basically you're the same as Gusur. I don't want to! He's a snorer...," said Lupus.
"That's good. Hey, I want Nyit Nyit...," said Boim cheekily.
"Yeeee... that's delicious..." Nyit Nyit immediately became hysterical. "Sono lo, ama
Gusur." .
"Why doesn't anyone want to sleep with me?" Gusur pretends to be stupid.
"Because your hobby is farting..." said Boim.
"Like snoring!" Lupus said.
"Your big body takes up the bed!" said Adi Darwis.
Nyit Nyit felt sorry to see Gusur being bullied, he tried to mediate, "Okay, don't make a fuss... We came here to make Poppi happy, we didn't want to make a fuss. So, it's better to just hump it..."
Lupus, Adi, and Boirn agreed, and immediately fell asleep.
Thank God, Boim lost....
"Boim sleep with Gusuuuuuur!!!" shouted Adi Darwis happily.
"Indeed, you're already a match, Im!" said Lupus.
Meanwhile, Gusur affectionately immediately took Boim's hand. "Come on, Im, let's hang out..."
Boim immediately let go of Gusur's hand. "Uh... I'd better sleep on the beach..."
The next day at the end of the pier, Lupus and Poppi were alone looking at the sun which was about to set. They talk heart to heart.
"How's it going, Pop. Are you feeling a little better yet?" Lupus started.
Poppi smiled. Nodded. "Thank you. You are really good to me..."
"Ah, it's okay, Pop... basically whatever makes you happy, I'll do it..."
Poppi looked at Lupus, smiling. "You're so sweet, Pus..."
Lupus looked down, embarrassed.
While being intimate, Gusur, Boim, and Nyit Nyit came, they wanted to make grilled fish for tonight. "Duile, it's all about cornering! Are you joining in, shopping for fish for the party tonight?" said Nyit Nyit.
Lupus and Poppi looked at each other.
"Okay, okay!" said Poppi finally.
Meanwhile, Lupus became annoyed. "Oh, it's just annoying!"
"Yeeee, we're going for fun, so don't use a corner show, bro!" Boim protested.
Lupus sucks. "Just be envious, you! You're saying that because Nyit Nyit doesn't want to be cornered..."
Boim glanced at Nyit Nyit, snorting. "You don't know, Pussy..."
"I don't want to be cornered, because Fifi isn't coming along...," said Gusur in a sad tone.
Poppi then took Lupus' hand. "Come on, don't make a fuss, let's look for fish... the corner will continue, okay?"
Lupus smiled happily.
A few moments later, Gusur was cooking grilled fish. They ate in front of the campfire they made in front of the inn. Gusur eats the most, while grilling the fish. Nyit Nyit was arranging the plates, Boim kept trying to get closer to Nyit Nyit. Meanwhile, Adi is using a Walkman, enjoying rapping alone.
Poppi sat close to Lupus under a coconut tree.
After having fun eating grilled fish, Gusur, Boirn, Adi, and Nyit Nyit finally found themselves, they went to karaoke, leaving Lupus and Poppi behind.
"Shhh, we have to know ourselves!" said Nyit Nyit. "Give them a chance..."
But Gusur immediately protested, "Why, the fish isn't finished yet..."
"Alaaa... only the thorns are left!" Boim said.
"Even though it has thorns, it can be grilled, Im. So it's delicious!"
Finally Nyit Nyit grabbed Boim and Gusur's hands. "Noooo!"
"But we're cornered too, aren't we, Nyit?" said Boim, he still took time to lobby Nyit Nyit.
"Just corner you there with a coconut!" said Nyit Nyit while pursing her lips.
Adi laughed. Boim glared at Adi. They left.
Lupus saw the children leaving, immediately shot Poppi who was still busy eating grilled fish.
"Pop... ng, I want to talk..." said Lupus haltingly.
"What are you talking about, Pussy?" Poppi asked while glancing at Lupus.
Lupus is a bit nervous. "Y-do you s-love me?"
Poppi smiled, then her other hand ruffled Lupus' hair. "It's a shame... Who doesn't love a guy as good as you, Pus..."
Lupus grinned. Confused.
"But when it comes to dating, I don't think I'm ready yet. The thing is, I still have a grudge against a guy... I need to recover first... I'm still traumatized...," said Poppi.
Lupus grinned again.
"Yeah, Pop... it's okay. I'm not forcing you to do it quickly... Yes, Pop, it's your birthday next week... What gift do you want?" asked Lupus.
Poppi smiled again. "Oh, Pus, how come you remember? I'm so touched... No need, Pus... don't give me anything...
What you are doing is already too good for me. I don't know how to reply. ..."
Poppi rested her head on Lupus' shoulder. Lupus happy
very....
His face immediately lit up. Lupus finally kissed...
Poppi's hair. Ihik... Ihik... glek....
Lupus nelen lice!
