" Light of Love "

CHAPTER IV: "Past Memory 2 "

"ok can you battered like a gini deck?"

say it with wide eyes.

Her blue face, because of the punch marks as well as her legs and hands that were filled with scars and blood, made me feel sorry to see her. My grandfather Faisal was finished in kroyok by a group of men in white ash uniforms - ash did not know for sure which they were from High School, which obviously they had done improperly and had to get punished.

Faisal was still sitting on the sofa limply, me and umi' were trying to clean and treat the wound.

" if umi already knows the culprit, will not umi forgive him "rumm umi annoyed

" patient umi" I said soothingly while stroking her shoulder.

" if this is the case, it cannot be sabarin again,na "

" umi, Abi where ya" as I turned around the house.

" your brother is reporting to the police" Umi said

" oh, I hope I see the culprit"

" fortunately there were citizens who knew, otherwise, umi no longer know the fate of Faisal later how "

Faisal had rested in his bedroom, seeing him made me feel sorry, who could do all that to my brother . I stepped out of his room and did not forget to turn off the lights.

...****************...

The same night as usual, I sat in front of the study table . In front of me there are a few books ready for me to learn. It has become my habit, I always spare time at night to read books. This is what my brother taught me, he said "learn for life, don't learn time it takes ", those are the words I always remember until now.

Like her I was too enjoying the book I was reading this, until it did not feel time has shown at 21:00 . I get out of my seat and get ready for bed.

I put this body on my comfortable bed, though not as wide and no longer as tender as before 'while thinking about today's events.there are some questions running through my mind ,why is the state of Faisal today exactly the same as that of Brother Yusril? is this just a coincidence? or was Brother Yusril one of the gangs of young men who had ganged up on my sister ? . Slowly my eyes began to close, because the gusts of fans attached to the walls of my room made my drowsiness begin to control me.

" tit.tit..tit.."

"tits..tit..tit...tit.."

"tits..tit...tit..tit.."

Suddenly the sound of the notification on my phone rang repeatedly, because I was curious, I reached for the phone on the table near my bed. With narrowed eyes due to drowsiness .

" new number?? " mumamku lirih's.

message 1: "Husnah I am sorry to disturb you at night.I just want to thank you because today has helped me by treating my wounds "

message2.: "And thank you for telling Hanif to take me home"

message 3.: "may you have a good dream tonight "

Suddenly my drowsiness disappeared suddenly when reading the message. From the contents of his message I can guess that it was Yusril's brother, but from where he could get my mobile number, and what the meaning of his last message was.

" yes, same "my reply is short.

...****************...

" umi' Husnah left school first yes "my word while carrying shoes .

" it was morning when he left "

" So the ceremony attendant mi' "

" oh so, have you stopped by his school adek you yes, ask permission not to enter school today "

" insyaallah umi*" I replied as I kissed her hand.

" assalamualaikum umi"

This morning was brighter than usual. I saw a woman approaching me .

" where have you been, it's been the new clock until 'today we will be the ceremonial officer" said Rani .

" yes I remember rani, just earlier I had to go to school sister to send a permit "

The school bell rang, and the ceremony was about to begin. The ceremonial officers were already preparing on the ground. Today I got a job as a basic invite reader.

As the ceremony progressed, my head felt dizzy suddenly, and my body was very limp. Suddenly my vision became dark, I fell because my legs were not strong enough to support me. I was unconscious, only to be heard softly by me the voice of someone calling my name.

" Husna...The husnah "

...****************...

My eyes slowly opened, I saw Rani standing next to me. A smile appeared on his face after seeing me.

" agh.ya Allah , dizzy Ran "my groan .

" Try taking the medicine first yuk"

I tried to sit down, poured a glass of water and 1 medicinal pill. This is the first time I have experienced something like this .Maybe because I haven't had breakfast this morning, because I have to leave early .

" this is the same bread fruit, eaten yes" said Rani while showing 1 packet of torn bread and 1 plate containing apples that have been peeled.

" o Allah, Rani, do not bother like this, I am only lemes"

" It's not from me, it's from Yusril's sister, she was here when you didn't wake up. Keep bringing this for you"

" i also did not think that brother Yusril could be this good, or do not let him like you Husna" ledek Rani .

Once again I was confused by Yusril's unusual attitude. Is it possible that he felt guilty for having almost slapped me yesterday . Or because yesterday I helped him .

" anyways you are also beautiful na, who tries not to like you" added Rani.

" syuth..what the heck Ran, his talk do not digress anywhere ah "

Since that day, I think something has changed for Yusril. Starting from the message last night, this bread and fruit, then which is very surprising again only the day I saw it in the line during the ceremony took place earlier.

" how is it ? still dizzy ? " ask Brother Hanif who walked over to me.

" Alhamdulillah, already lighten my brother" I replied with a smile.

" said Mr. Ridwan if you want to go home is okay, so do not have to follow the lesson first"

" no brother, Husnah is better, insyaallah can still follow the lesson" I said while staring at him.

My class is located on the 2nd floor, while the UKS is on the lower floor, I walk while being helped by Rani, because my body is still a little weak. As we passed the teacher's room, Abi was sitting there facing the door. And I tried to get close to her.

" Abi, why come here? " i said as I kissed her hand.

" It turns out that the bully was a student from this school, so Abi wanted to meet his son with his parents here.and you from where, I haven't entered class yet ?"

" it was om, it was Husnah ...aduh" said Rani .

I purposely stepped on her foot, so she wouldn't say what had just happened to me. Because I'm afraid Abi will be very worried.

" no bi, we were out of the school library, there are books that we want to take" I said.

" yes already ,Husnah want to go to class first yes Bi , fear of missing the lesson "

I left the teacher's room, and walked towards the classroom . There was actually a sense of guilt for having lied to Abi . I just don't want to add to the burden of his mind.

...****************...

" what is this ? " my mumbling in the heart

As I sat on the bench, visible in the desk locker there was a pink paper that was deliberately in the form of love neatly, and in the corner it was written my name. Actually this kind of thing is not the first time for me , I have often got the terror of letters like this.Because it is still a lesson hour, the paper is just I put in a bag and intend me notya later.

" Call for Yusril Ihza Mahendra class XIIC, Rendy Prayoga class XIIB, please to hurry to the teacher's room now "call from the school loudspeaker.

Rarely is there a formal call for a student, for even if there is a certainty it is a serious matter. There was a question in my mind, why was Brother Yusril called ? was he one of the gangs Abi was referring to?.

...****************...

Today's lesson is over, the students have started to leave their respective classes . As usual, I had to complete my duties as class president, that is, recap absent and report to the homeroom teacher.

When I took the ballpoint pen from my bag arrived the love-shaped letter had fallen to the floor . I finally decided to read the letter . I slowly unfolded the folds of the paper with my heart so that I would not tear them and would eventually make the writing inside them difficult to read.

السلام عليكم .....

I'm not good at saying the word, and I'm not good at making love poems. But allow me to convey this feeling that has been present in my heart.

It's true I've loved you, loved everything about you. It is not proper for me to love a perfect woman like you, for I realize that I am only a sinner. I could not contain this feeling, which every day flowed so fast.

if you're asking from when this sense arises, the answer is from the very beginning we met. From the beginning when I saw a sincere smile from your face. And it almost drove me crazy, I always asked what was wrong with me ?and why should you be the one I love ? I want to hate you so much ? until that day when I raised my hand about to hit you.

But my efforts got less and less successful when you, sitting in front of me with all your sincerity, helped me who was helpless. It makes me even more helpless with my love for you.

There is no need for you to reply to this letter that I have written, it is only necessary for me to know it .

From me: Yusril Ihza Mahendra

for you whom I still love today, and until tomorrow" Ayatul Husnah"

I was silent, I couldn't say what. All my questions about his attention all along, not without any intention. And from this letter I've got all his answers. I limply folded the letter back, and I kept it in my school pocket. And today's story will be a secret for me and for him.

" Husnah .... Do you not ? " said Rani while running towards me.

" What the hell Ran , so excited . Don't want ah if you invite me to gossip " said me while staring at him.

" Where is this gossip, this is a fact, if brother Yusril and brother Rendy want to be expelled from school "

I was immediately shocked to hear what Rani had said to me. And my eyes are staring hard at him.

" you don't lie to Ran "

" Why do I lie to you, besides good then, let our school be safe sentosa" said Rani trying to make a joke

I was pensive for a moment, then immediately I headed downstairs, to prove everything my best friend said. I don't know what I felt when I heard the news, I should be happy or sad.

When I was about to go downstairs, my steps came to a halt, when I saw a male student who had been in front of me. He was Yusril's brother, who had sent me a love letter. And a rumored one will be expelled from school today. Our gaze clashed for a while, a gaze that held a thousand meanings.he slowly stepped closer to me, and whispered right beside my ear.

" When you find out, I'm sure you'll hate me so much, and you'll be happy with the school's current decision for me .But I hope that when we meet again tomorrow , your hatred for me is gone, even if it's impossible "

After whispering that word, he turned around and left me. Leaving me with a thousand questions in my mind. Not knowing what the meaning of his words was, but suddenly the sense of loss was present enveloping my heart.

And after that day I never again met her, never again I heard her name and never again I heard the news . Like it was lost just like that at meal time . But the events of that day were still very fixed in my mind. Now there is only one question in me, is it possible that we will meet again later ?.
