Cough!"
Jupi looked at Bi Yanti flatly, digesting for a moment what Aunt had just said.
"In love, Mom?" Asked Jupi. "Jupi won't fall in love, Jupi doesn't care about love,"
"But, it's love that you have to apply in life. Just like Jupi loves Mom and Dad, Jupi must love them right? If there wasn't love, Jupi wouldn't be like now," said Bi Yanti, making Jupi confused.
"What do you mean, Auntie?"
"Now it's your job to find out about love," said Bi Yanti, rising from her seat. Leaving Jupi who was still thinking about her aunt's words which sounded ambiguous in her ears.
"Love?" Jupi asked softly, stopping to chew.
"Love, huh?" Jupi asked again tilting his head in thought.
Finally, because Jupi didn't care, he shook his head. Shrugging and continuing to munch on sweet tomatoes and pink milk. Jupi's favorite food since childhood.
It's true, Jupi has a unique personality. The spoiled nature of the family, and the indifferent nature when outside. Loves pink milk, even though its lack of natural weather always makes it uncomfortable.
When the weather turned to morning, Jupi was seen coming down the stairs wearing a white and gray school uniform. The backpack that was stuck in the back and the hoodie and the mask that he didn't forget.
Jupi slowly sat down at the dining table, putting his backpack, hoodie and mask on first.
"Come on, Jupi eat first," said Bi Yanti cooking fried rice and immediately served the food in front of Jupi.
"Where's Uncle, Miss?" Jupi asked looking around
lonely house.
"Uncle has left for work, that's why there are only two of us left. Oh yes, Jupi. Our agreement is already in front, yes, Uncle took it at home yesterday," said Bi Yanti smiling sitting in front of Jupi.
"Set?" Jupi asked with his lips tasted the food.
"Yes, your bike," said Aunt.
"Even though Jupi doesn't need anything related to Papa anymore," said Jupi with disappointment.
"You can't do that, Jupi. After all, it's a valuable bicycle for you," said Bi Yanti, smiling.
"Still, Bi. Even so, Papa and Mother have only pretended to feel sorry for Jupi. They don't want our presence, Bi," said Jupi looking down. "Mother has been really mean all this time,"
Bi Yanti was silent to hear Jupi's narrative, how Jupi was right. How could they do such a stupid thing and ruin their family.
After a few seconds of finishing his food, Jupi got up while wearing his hoodie and mask. Seeing Bi Yanti was cleaning all the dirty dishes.
"Jupi, here are some provisions for you," said Bi Yanti holding a box of rice and putting it in Jupi's backpack.
"Thank you, Bi has become like Mother," said Jupi, shaking his aunt.
"After all, you are still Aunt's nephew. Go there, be careful riding Setu," said Bi Yanti with a small laugh.
"Setu sometimes likes to be weird, Bi. I don't like traveling," said Jupi as he walked towards the front.
In front of the terrace, Jupi saw Setu aka his old bicycle. It was a gift from his father for Jupi's 10th birthday. Jupi immediately moved and got on his bicycle.
On the way, Jupi slowly rides his old bicycle. Which is still intact until now. Only the color has faded. From black to brown, a nice blend.
Jupi in his usual style, wearing a black hoodie and mask. The brown cat-patterned backpack looks so adorable when seen from behind.
Now Jupi entered the gate of his school, Universe Senior High School. Jupi slowly walked into the parking area. After that, Jupi immediately got down and took off his hood. Seeing the morning sun is not yet hot.
I don't know, Jupi looks so strange and thinks. The sun is so good for endurance, but in contrast to Jupi who can't even last long.
Jupi saw the students who had entered the school area. From a distance, Jupi saw Ula and Uli had just entered the gate. Walking together. Unknowingly, when he saw Ula Jupi smiled a little.
Jupi was just about to take a step, but a heavy tap on his shoulder made Jupi turn to look.
"Hey Vampire!" Surya called, immediately put his arm around Jupi's shoulder.
"Finally Lo went to school too," continued Zion, hugging Jupi's shoulder before leaving.
Jupi was also disturbed to see the two of them, even just yesterday they met and have become close friends.
"It's useless to talk to the vampire, just shut up," said Surya.
"Gaslah, just go to class," said Zion and immediately pulled Jupi to walk.
Jupi could only stare at Zion and Surya, who considered themselves friends. When they arrived at class, as usual these two cheerful girls would welcome everyone. Especially welcoming the arrival of Jupi, who did not attend school for a day.
"Good morning, Jupi!" Sapa Ula waved his hand towards Jupi who had just stepped into the classroom. With her hair loose and a pink headband attached to her hair.
"Welcome back to our beloved class, Mr. Ketu!" continued Uli dancing like a ballet dancer.
"Shut up you ugly lizard!" Zion said glaring at Uli who was enthusiastic all the time. Standing next to Jupi with an unfriendly look.
"Lo why is Mulu so bad? It's us, Jupi, not Lo!" Uli's reply was sharp, no less fierce than complaining.
"Jion really likes that, he doesn't like seeing people happy," Ula asked this time, showing an annoyed face.
"Jupi doesn't need a welcome from you, it's better to play with the Barbie doll!" Tell Zion to expel Ula and Uli from before them. Zion immediately told Jupi to sit in his chair.
"You rengginang crackers, usually they only irritate people!" Timpal Uli stood with his hands folded across his chest.
"Come on, Uli. You don't have to be friends with Jion and Surya!" This time Ula sharpened his gaze towards Zion and Surya who were already sitting in their respective chairs.
"Bro, how are you today?" Zion asked sitting leaning against the wall. Sitting in the corner with Jupi. "You're not going to continue your suicide, are you?" Zion asked again, these feet whispering into Jupi's ear.
Jupi turned his gaze away, and looked at Zion flatly.
"Because of you, I'm not going to kill myself," said Jupi quietly, languidly.
Zion nodded slowly, sticking his thumb towards Jupi.
"Good, don't ever do stupid things like that. There are still many people who love you out there," said Zion, looking deeply at Jupi.
When Zion said the word love, Jupi remembered his aunt's words.
"It's not just Lo who has a problem, but everyone must experience it. It hurts even more if the person we love betrays like that,"
Jupi saw that Zion's face was different now, this boy showed a sad face. Until he turned his gaze away from looking at Jupi.
While listening to the noise from classmates, can make Jupi feel something is at stake. different is Zion
"Make sure you can deal with it, don't just give up. The problem won't be solved if you back down," Zion continued.
"But my problem is different," said Jupi, slowly removing his mask. At that moment, Zion smiled.
"I understand, family problems are too heavy for me. Moreover, the reason behind everything is not clear," Zion continued, patting Jupi's shoulder.
"Me... Me, you want to be my best friend?" Jupi asked quickly with a feeling of shyness, saying it while looking down.
Plaque!
Zion even hit Jupi's head hard, making Jupi hold her head and wince softly.
"You don't have to ask me too

"Make sure you can deal with it, don't just give up. The problem won't be solved if you back down," Zion continued.
"But my problem is different," said Jupi, slowly removing his mask. At that very moment, Zion smiled.

"You don't have to ask me too, I already consider you a friend. Not a friend if you haven't been able to hit me!" Zion said while patting Surya's head who had been listening to them talk.
"Well, why did I get hit with it?" Surya asked not understanding.
Zion immediately laughed, until it spread to Jupi who also smiled a little.
