The next morning when she just got off the bus Viona heard a voice calling her, a voice that yesterday afternoon disturbed her relaxing time to enjoy the afternoon sun. Ronal's voice. Viona who was in a hurry chose to speed up her steps and ignored the call. It was so annoying to have to face that creature early in the morning. 
When she entered the class Viona was surprised by Ronal's presence, since when had he been there, sitting sweetly on Viona's bench. Even though earlier Viona was very sure she saw Ronal at the gate, why was he suddenly here now. 
"What else do you want?" Viona asked Ronal who was still looking straight at her. 
"Dewa apologize" replied Ronal.
"It's good if you realize it, tell him not to call so many times" 
"Dewa is afraid that you will be angry and then hate him, later he will call again to get to know you." Ronal said again. 
Viona just rolled her eyes lazily, there was no point in talking to Ronal if the topic of the problem and the root cause was Dewa. 
"What's going on?" A voice came from the direction of the entrance, without them realizing it, Alya was already standing right between Ronal and Viona. 
"No, what's wrong?" Ronal answered and immediately moved to his desk. 
"Dewa likes Viona? Really? Alya said while looking at Ronal and Viona alternately, Viona just kept quiet not answering but her eyes looked at Ronal with a sharp gaze. 
"No, yesterday I was just playing around because I had nothing to do, so I was just messing around" Ronal replied then chose to busy himself with several other friends to avoid questions from Alya. While Viona after putting her bag on the chair also immediately walked out of the class, lazy if she had to be asked questions. It was still morning her mood could be ruined if she had to be interrogated. But she was wrong Alya and Nila ran after her, confirming what she had heard earlier.
"So it's true that Dewa likes you?" Alya said straight to the point. 
"I don't know" 
"Just answer me, I won't get mad" Alya said, her hand grabbing Viona's wrist, there was clearly a look of sadness and disappointment on her face. 
"I don't know, but yesterday afternoon they did call and said Dewa told them to"
"How many times?" 
"About ten times" Viona's answer suddenly made Alya's grip loosen from Viona's hand, her face looked even sadder, her body pressed against the wall. Viona suddenly felt sorry seeing the sadness that was clearly radiating from Alya's face. "I thought we were good friends, but instead you stabbed me in the back, I'm also sure this Ronal must have something against me, that's why he wants to help Dewa get close to you." Alya's next words, which made Viona shocked and the feeling of pity that had appeared earlier slowly disappeared after hearing Alya's brief statement, there was still an arrogant impression from her words. 
"Vionaaa..." Mimi's voice was heard running towards where Viona was standing. "Ronal said Dewa doesn't like you, he just wanted to get to know you" Mimi said. Viona just sighed tiredly, it was still morning and she hadn't even passed a single subject but she was already feeling very tired, there were already many gossip reporters bothering her. 
"No way, ten times means it's intentional, not just for fun, yes, you want to get to know each other so you can get closer and then become a couple," Nila replied, accompanied by a nod from Alya, while Viona and Mimi just stared at their two classmates silently, even though in their hearts they agreed with what Nila said, if it was for fun, it wouldn't be possible to do it ten times and it happened every day.
The bell rang three times, indicating that the first period had to start. Viona, Mimi, Alya, and Nila immediately stepped into the classroom. Even though her heart was in turmoil and she suddenly felt lazy because of the incident this morning, Viona still had to enter the classroom and dropped her weight on the chair as a sign that her body was still there even though her mind had wandered who knows where. She went through the first lesson very hard, her brain was tangled like a thread, it was difficult to straighten it out. There was not a single lesson that she could accept. The same thing happened in the second, third, fourth lessons and so on. Until the bell rang, her condition was still the same, equally tangled. 
"Why does he look like that?" Gita said when they met at the school gate
"Tired" Viona replied briefly
"Dewa again?"
"Yeah, I got mad at home because he kept calling, now Alya also knows because this morning Ronal used to discuss Dewa in class".
"Alya already knows, it must be fun" Gita's answer actually made Viona even more annoyed, what's fun if now Alya thinks she stole Dewa from her. 
"You have to be prepared if you suddenly become popular, Alya when she was dating Dewa also suddenly became popular like that, now you're the one being gossiped about by Dewa, so just be prepared" Gita said again
Vionaaa... Come over to my house, so you can get to know Dewa said Bunga who walked closer. 
"Does it have to be now? It's already too late, later people from home will look for me, how about at school?"
"School is crowded, I'd rather be at home, so I'll be freer, if I'm at school, there will be many people bothering me"
"The back garden is quiet, "
"You dare to be in the back garden? Sep.. " Bunga's words stopped when she saw Dewa passing by on a motorbike, she turned to call Dewa and gave a signal for Dewa to stop and come closer. Meanwhile, Viona chose to continue her steps towards the house, after all this was very close to her house, she didn't want anyone to see and be interrogated in various ways.
Viona..., come here first" Bunga called Viona again and for the umpteenth time Viona refused on the grounds that it was too late. Meanwhile Dewa who was right next to Bunga just kept quiet watching. Viona glanced at Dewa who was also looking at her, "Tomorrow, okay, it's almost Maghrib now I'm afraid of being scolded by the people at home" Viona said to Bunga, but actually those words were directed at Dewa. 
When she arrived home Viona checked her cellphone again, there was not a single message or call from Dewa, suddenly Viona felt something was missing, usually at this hour her cellphone was very active ringing. Usually Dewa never missed contacting her but why didn't Dewa contact her today? Was he hurt because of her refusal to get to know him earlier? But oh well, maybe it was better this way than being terrorized every day in her heart.
