7 Days With Althara

Day six

Tomorrow morning Althara came back to pick me up on time. I ran downstairs as soon as I made sure in my bedroom window that the one who picked me up was Althara and not that son of a bitch Devan.

“Hay” greeted me sweetly as soon as I approached her.

Althara smiled at her smile.

“Ceria bang. Dapet wonder what I am today lo ga pout” her poked who was astonished to see me this cheerful.

“Hah, nothing” tangkis I try to hide my feelings that are happy to see her.

“No more ngomel because I did not pick up right?” Ledeknya again, make me ashamed for berating him yesterday.

“Yes, sorry”

Althara shook her head wrapped around my blushing shy manner.

“Ya has ayok”

I smiled happily wearing my helmet again and went to school.

To be honest, I felt there was comfort every time I was with Althara. Unlike Devan, from the beginning I had been feeling uncomfortable if he was always bothering me.

What feelings do I have? I can't possibly have feelings for him. I mustn't make this feeling any further, I must be able to get rid of it before I'm disappointed.

Last day of training was over.

“Haahh finally her practice smoothly. I hope tomorrow you can win this race yes, I'm sure you can, you can defeat other schools easily, mom believes it's” Optimist bu Renatha that makes us excited.

“We can definitely bu” said Edo.

“Ber, we can definitely bring the trophy again” added Kevin.

“Iya dong, the vocalist is new, time can bring good luck, yes no?” rizal said while laughing praising me.

I remember the figure of Tania.

I looked at Althara who seemed to be thinking about something when Rizal discussed the new vocalist. I'm sure the old vocalist meant Tania but where is she now. But I feel it's none of my business and actually I don't need to know that.

“Excuse me bu” someone standing in the doorway distracts everyone.

Devan. I was so surprised to see it, immediately made my face become upset again.

“His training has finished bu?” Her question glanced at me.

Devan still dares to come to me even though I have remembered, so annoying him.

“Already, what is Devan?”

“I want to talk to Althara bu”

I looked at Althara in confusion. He stood coldly without saying anything, and he walked up to me.

“Wait for me, don't go where” pinta her seriously.

I nodded my head in worry. Rizal, Edo and Kevin throw one another a glance. I'm sure they knew something between Althara and Devan, from their gazes, because they looked so worried.

What's going on between Althara and Devan ?

I sat in front of the music room waiting for Althara.

“Al, am I okay first? It's been a really late afternoon, said Kevin out of the music room.

“It's okay, brother, I'm still waiting for Althara” said I.

“Gue also go yes, if not, please try Phone him deh”

“Udah brother, but ga active”

I nodded my head with a smile.

“By alhena”

“Bye sister carefully”

“OK”

Then they all left me here alone.

I was getting bored and upset waiting for Althara who never came. I glanced at the watch in my hand, it's already early in the afternoon, how much longer should I wait for it here.

I clucked so irritatedly and went looking for Althara's whereabouts. Should be his principle that ‘ does not like to wait’ it must be applied to me as well, so that he is not as good as this.

I continued walking in the corridors of the school looking for the figures of Althara and Devan until I heard such a big bang.

Bugs,, bug, bug

I sharpened my listener trying to figure out where the voice came from, but it was like it was far from where I was standing. I followed the direction of the voice that had started to sound clearer.

“Lo is a jerk!” That's Althara's voice.

So surprised I saw Althara who had been oppressing Devan who was already helpless. Althara was ready to hit Devan again with his fist held high.

“ALTHARAA!!” My yell stopped Althara.

I was so shocked by what I saw, so many bruises on Devan's face, his messy clothes made Devan so apprehensive lying on the floor. Devan's breath looked so fast and heavy.

Althara stood still behind me, then she turned around slowly. It turned out that he was no less messed up with Devan, I shook my head sadly looking at Althara who was also already injured. His cheeks turned blue, his forehead was bleeding, his hair was messing, and his clothes were tangled irregularly. He wiped the blood at the corner of his lips.

Althara walked up to me. He stood in front of me and just stared at me in silence. I saw Devan who was trying to sit holding his stomach that looked in pain, he leaned against the wall withstanding the pain that looked so severe.

I don't know what he fussed about but I have to help Devan who looks more needy my help. I was about to step my leg towards Devan but Althara was holding my arm.

I looked at her confused, she didn't give me any reason why she was holding you back. I tried to let go of myself with annoyance, but Althara's hand did not let me out of his grasp. Althara's gaze was so soft, worthy of her like a pleading person. I sighed in annoyance and followed her away from there.

We stopped at one of the minimarkets near the school. I cleaned up the wounds that Althara received with the medicine I bought at the minimarket.

“Aww aching” said while sharpening his eyes held the pain when I tried to clean his wounds with alcohol..

“Aw, can be slow to Al”

he just kept grimacing in pain. But I tried to be patient not to respond.

“Alhena, don't fad can ga anyway, it hurts !”

My emotions were getting hooked, and I looked at her annoyed.

“Kalo lo ga want me to help, why was lo ga justin aja I help Devan, like his wound he is worse than lo !” I said annoyed. Makes him feel guilty.

I sighed so heavily staring at her that it was just silence. I stood up and was about to go buy Althara a drink holding my hand.

I looked at her in annoyance waiting for her to speak.

“No more Devan” deketin his words no longer sound annoying.

I looked at him confused.

“Gue beg” I gasped to hear him plead unusual.

What's really going on between him and Devan, why do I have to follow his wishes ?

“Gue wants to buy a drink” said I let go of his hand grip.
