12

This morning Viona went to school with a confused heart. She was confused by what Dewa said. Dewa said they weren't dating yet, did that mean Dewa intended to date Alya again. 
"Why again? He really likes to daydream" Gita woke her up from her daydream about Dewa. 
"Just lack of sleep" Viona said casually. 
"Are you sure that's all?" Gita asked probingly, she understood very well that lately Viona had been feeling upset thinking about Dewa. 
"Hmmm Git, yesterday I called Dewa, I asked him how he is now with Alya." Viona said softly. 
"Wow... This is rapid progress. What happened yesterday that you dared to contact Dewa first" Gita teased accompanied by her crisp laughter making Viona's lips move forward a few centimeters. "Then... Then... Dewa said what?" She added again. 
"I'm just curious, Git. Especially for the past few days, I often see Alya always close to Dewa, then yesterday Alya also called Dewa, her voice also pretended to be spoiled with Dewa." Said Viona who then told all her conversations with Dewa on the phone to Gita. Including Viona's suspicions that Dewa had not moved on from Dewa. 
"Are you upset that Alya called Dewa?" Gita glanced at Viona.
"I don't know either," Viona replied, starting to be indifferent. 
"What's there to not know? It's clear that you're upset because you actually like him. There's no point in being upset like that. Later when you meet Dewa, smile, say hello, or something like that. Here, since it's Valentine's Day, give him a gift, later I'll try asking him what gift he wants." Gita said passionately. 
"Why ask all these questions? If you want to give a gift, you have to ask the person first, right? It won't be a surprise." Viona looked at Gita with her eyebrows furrowed. 
"What if he doesn't like it? It's a waste, it's better to ask him what he wants first." Gita didn't want to lose. 
"Why is that weird..." Viona muttered while scratching her head that wasn't itchy.

"What gift do you think Nila wants Al, for Valentine's Day tomorrow?" Dicky asked Alya during the change of class hours. 
"A gift for a girl is not difficult, giving chocolate and a doll is also done." Alya replied. 
Valentine or the day of love is a day that is widely celebrated by couples or lovers as a day to express love. Valentine's Day, which is also known for the tradition of exchanging gifts, is only a matter of days away, and is currently a hot topic among teenagers. 
"What about you Ndrew? Don't want to give a gift to a girl?" Alya glanced at Andrew who was sitting in front of her, while Viona also listened to their conversation. 
"I don't have any money Al, there are four girls who want to give gifts, I don't have much money. It's a headache!" said Andrew. 
"That's why you shouldn't have too many girls Ndrew, it'll be confusing when it's like this, like me, one is enough. I never feel like I'm lacking, I only have one girl. I'm always happy with Nila." Dicky said, commenting and giving a little advice about loyalty. 
"Well, what should I do... The risk of a handsome guy being liked by many people, the girl herself wants to get close to me... what should I do?" Andrew replied, making Viona and the others look nauseous and want to vomit. "What about Viona? Didn't you give Dewa a gift?" Andrew added again, which was only answered with a smile by Viona.
"This is it Viona, when we talk about Dewa... he always has no comment, just smiles. It confuses people, Dewa hesitates to move." Ronald said again, accompanied by nods from Andrew and Dicky who were next to him. 
Ronald's last sentence managed to make Viona think again, was it true that she had always seemed arrogant to Dewa? And was it true that what Gita said earlier, since it was Valentine's Day and it coincided with Dewa's birthday, he should just give her a gift as a sign that Viona wanted to open her heart to Dewa. 
Viona began to be busy with her thoughts, the girl could no longer focus on listening to her friends' conversations. Her mind began to fill with questions about what gift she would give Dewa later. Considering that finding a gift for a guy is very difficult. What kind of gift would be good, not commonplace and fit his budget? However, until the bell rang, Viona still couldn't find an idea about what item she would give to her future boyfriend. 
"I asked Dewa earlier." Gita said while they were on their way home, this time they weren't alone, there were Mia, Riska and Sari who joined them. 
"Huh... Ask what?" Viona was confused hearing Gita's statement just now. 
"Yes, about Valentine's gift, what gift does he want? So that you don't have a headache thinking about what to give him, but he said it's up to you." Gita said casually.
"Gosh Git, this kid really asked Dewa. What if I don't give him the present?" Viona massaged her temples, suddenly panicking at her best friend's strange behavior, even though she herself was not sure whether to give Dewa the present or not, but Gita had gone too far.
"Well, you said you also liked Dewaa so there's nothing wrong, right? Maybe after exchanging gifts you end up dating" Gita chuckled again without feeling guilty, making Viona pout her lips. Even if she protested, it would be useless, even if she got angry, Gita wouldn't care. 
"What? What was that? Dewa likes Viona?" Sari suddenly joined in. Sari herself is Dewa's cousin, their relationship is quite close. 
"Yeah, before the hiking event Dewa already liked Viona, it's a shame they didn't end up dating at that time. In fact, Alya was the one who was pressing on Dewa." Gita replied. 
"Gosh Viona, why didn't you tell me? If so, I would have helped you, Dewa is my cousin. I could have helped you guys. But you also have feelings for Dewa, right?" Sari asked again probing. 
"I actually like him, but I'm too embarrassed to admit it. Aww, if Dewa gets taken by another girl, don't cry your eyes out," added Gita, who has now changed her profession to become Viona's spokesperson. Viona chose to remain silent, her voice was slower and louder than Gita's, so it was better for her to listen quietly.
"Bener apa yang dibilang Gita tadi, mumpung Dewa mau ulang tahun, kamu kasih kado aja. Nggak apa-apa loh cewek maju duluan, kan udah emansipasi dari pada nyesel karena nggak pernah berjuang. " Sari juga mulai terlihat bersemangat dengan ajang percomblangan antara Viona dan Dewa ini. 
"Kalau Dewanya udah nggak mau gimana? " Viona akhirnya membuka suara. 
"Lah... kalau dia nggak mau, nggak mungkinlah tadi dia jawabnya gitu. Udah tenang aja, besok kita temenin nyari kadonya. " Tutur Gita yang kembali membuat Viona memanyunkan bibirnya dan berpikir tentang apa yang akan diberikannya pada Dewa. 
Tanpa terasa mereka sudah berjalan cukup jauh, Riska sudah pamit terlebih dahulu karena sudah sampai di depan gang rumahnya, disusul Sari yang ikut berpisah di gang berikutnya. Kini hanya tersisa Viona, Mia dan Gita yang jalan beriringan. 
Mereka jalan melewati Mini Marketnya tante Asih, Mamanya Dewa. Sekilas Viona bisa melihat ada tante Asih yang sedang sibuk mengawasi para karyawannya. 
"nggak mau mampir dulu? " Ujar Gita tiba-tiba , begitu mereka berada persis di depan mini market milik orang tuanya Dewa itu. 
"Ngapain mampir? Aku lagi nggak mau beli apa-apa. " Tanya Viona heran. 
"Kali aja disana ada sesuatu yang bisa dijadiin kado buat Dewa besok haha.. hahahah " Gita dan Mia tertawa ngakak memamerkan deretan gigi putihnya, setelah mengucapkan kalimat terakhirnya itu, membuat mata Viona langsung melotot begitu mendengarnya.  
"Nggak ada saran yang lebih ngaco lagi Git? Ya kali beli kado buat Dewa di toko emaknya, kan ngaco" ujar Viona. 
"Nanti aku pikirin lagi kalau ada. Mana tau kamu juga pengen kenalan sama mertua " jawab Gita di sela-sela tawanya lalu ikut berpamitan bersama Mia karena sudah sampai di depan gang rumah mereka. Menyisakan Viona yang melangkah sendirian ditengah kebingungan memikirkan kado untuk Dewa. Namun tiba-tiba wajahnya berubah jadi cerah, dia ingat sesuatu yang mungkin bisa dijadiin kado. "Hhmmm besok aku harus beli semua bahannya. " Ucapnya bermonolog dalam hati.
