(May) I Fall in Love

The Demand of the Stupid

Haura looked so riled up like someone who had lost something. Haura's entire room looked so messy. Books scattered on the floor, bed, and also the study table . The whole bag he had taken out was also. The girl also took all her clothes out of the closet hoping there was something in her car.

"Where am I," the sentence was repeated by Haura while continuing to search for her diary.

"I'm sure that diary I kept at the study table, why it was lost."

Panic has struck Haura. The girl was afraid that her diary would be lost and found by someone else. That diary kept all his secrets about Nevan.

Haura recalled the last time she kept the diary. Haura felt very exhausted from unpacking every item inside her room to find her diary. For a moment the girl rested while thinking about the possibility where her diary was scattered.

Haura's mind tried to twist back to the time where she last wrote her diary. Last night, at the study table, fell asleep, then got up to school.

"Learning table, books, then.." murmured Haura. The two girls eyes were perfectly rounded after remembering where the diary was most likely left behind.

"School.." said Haura in a panic.

"I'm sure that this morning I put the diary in my bag with the textbooks."

Panic overcame Haura. If his guess was correct if the diary was left behind in school, then the first thing that Haura was very afraid of was her diary found by other students. And if that happens then he will definitely be increasingly the target of bullying by students at his school.

The wall clock shows seven o'clock in the evening. There is still enough time to go back to school and find the diary. That's what Haura thought.

The girl gets ready and rushes to go to her school, not forgetting Haura saying goodbye to her mother and also apologizing for not being able to do her job like the previous nights.

"What are you doing at school, son?" ask Miss Lastri. The middle-aged woman was very worried because Haura asked for permission to go to her school. Especially now it's night.

"There's a Haura textbook left behind. And the book was for Haura to do the task tomorrow," Haura replied lying to her mother.

"You can't go" said Miss Lastri firmly. The shadow when Haura was locked in the school left Haura injured and caused the girl to be hospitalized a few months ago again crossed Bu Lastri's mind. He was afraid that something similar would be re-experienced by his daughter.

"Whatever the problem is you still can't go" Miss Lastri repeated her words.

Haura knew that her mother would definitely forbid her to leave. But the girl has also prepared various reasons to be able to go to school and find her diary. Despite feeling guilty for lying to his mother, Haura is unlikely to wait until tomorrow to find the diary. The girl was worried that the book would be found by someone else.

"Haura is not alone there, Mom. There's Luna and Adel too," Haura again tried to convince her mother.

The girl glanced at her watch to add drama to her lie, "Maybe the two of them are already at school now."

Bu Lastri stared intently at Haura. Worried that something bad would happen to her daughter.

"May ya ma'am. It's afraid the night's getting late."

"alright... Don't stay there long. When you're done, you go straight home."

"Good Ma'am.... Haura said goodbye," the girl kissed Miss Lastri's hand before leaving.

Out there has been waiting for the ojek that was ordered by Haura a few minutes ago. Without wasting any more time, Haura immediately ran towards her online ojek order.

"To Sander International High School sir."

It didn't take long, Haura had arrived at her school. There were two security officers there. The two are very familiar with Haura's face because the girl is often with Nevan who is known by all residents of the school as the youngest son of Mr. Liam Sander.

"What are the non-evening nights when you go back to school?" ask one of the security officers.

"My stuff is missing sir."

"What class are you in?"

"XI IPA 2 pack."

"Then let me accompany you. Inside was very quiet," the security officer offered his help. It's true that there's no one in there.

"Emmm.no pa-pa sir, I dare myself."

"Alright then, be careful yes non. If there's anything directly call this security post number," said the security officer again. Then the officer handed over the key to the XI IPA 2 classroom to Haura.

"Well sir, thank you," Haura smiled warmly at the excellent security officer to him.

In their school building. Haura took a deep breath before stepping into the inner area of the school. The girl had no fear of ghosts or anything. In Haura's mind were drawn some of the places that became the greatest possibility where her diary had fallen.

Classroom and student locker room. There are only two places where the diary may have fallen. The girl ran to save time before the night got late.

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

Haura began to examine one by one the drawers on the student desk in her class. Start with his own desk. There's nothing there. Then the girl continued on to the other desk drawer. Not a single table escaped Haura's examination. The girl examined him very carefully.

After spending an hour, Haura did not find her diary in her own class. Even the girl was also looking for him in the trash can in her class. But there was no rubbish there. Because indeed every school home, students who are in charge of cleaning the class always clean the class and take out the trash before they go home.

The girl's next destination was the student locker. The lockers themselves. Haura again ran towards the student locker area. The clock showed at nine o'clock in the evening. Haura must immediately complete her diary search mission and immediately go home so that her mother does not worry about her.

Upon arriving at the student locker room, Haura swiftly opened her locker. Haura took out all the items inside her locker. Some books, school uniforms, also the girl's sports uniform. All students in the school must store school uniforms and spare sports clothes in each of their respective lockers.

Haura placed all the items in her locker on the floor of the place. Then check one by one his belongings. Hoping that the diary was tucked between his books.

When the girl was focusing on checking her belongings, there was the sound of footsteps walking towards her. The sound of footsteps could be heard walking slowly. Haura firmly believed that the footsteps were not the footsteps of the security guards.

Soon Haura hid behind a locker that was at the very end. Not to forget he prepared a book thick enough as a weapon to protect himself if it turns out that the person who came was a person who had evil intentions to him.

The longer the footsteps of the stranger approached until finally stopped in front of Haura's locker. From his hiding place, Haura tried to see who the mysterious person was. The teenage girl could not believe the man standing right in front of her locker and looking at her belongings.

"Niko.." cried Haura. Haura finally came out of her hiding place to approach Niko.

"What are you doing here?" ask Haura.

"What are you doing here?" Niko asked Haura.

"Me?" tanya Haura pointed to herself.

"Yes, who else if not lo."

The fear that Haura had felt changed with annoyance. Niko is not much different from Nevan who always likes to answer questions with a question.

"Emmm. I'm looking for something again" replied Haura. Then the girl put her things back in her locker.

"What?" niko asked very curious. Because the man was very sure that what Haura was looking for was something very precious to the girl. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Haura to be willing to return to school even though it was already night.

"Something?" haura replied briefly. It was impossible for the girl to explain in detail what she was looking for.

"What is that?" niko again demanded a definite answer from Haura.

"Why do you want to know?" Haura looked suspiciously at Niko. "What interest do you have in school?" add the girl again.

"Gue?" now Niko is pointing at herself.

"Who else if not you."

"Eidmm...." Niko berehem is pretty loud. The man tried to think of the right answer so that Haura would not put her suspicions on him. Because it's impossible if Niko tells the truth why she can be in school now.

"Gue just..."

"What's free?" Haura urged Niko's answer.

"Gue just follows someone's stupid request."

"Who?" haura asked with both eyes.

"Do you get what you're looking for? If you're done, let me anterin you go home." Niko deliberately shifted Haura's question so that their conversation about someone did not continue any further.

The truth is Niko's presence there is none other than Nevan's request. Despite being far away, Nevan has never missed the slightest thing about Haura.

"Truly stupid," murmured Niko who was condemning Nevan's attitude lately.

Niko and Haura leave their school. Time is approaching ten o'clock in the evening. On the way home, Haura was still worried because her diary had not been found either.
