7 Days With Althara

Too annoying

A few months passed, at school I was very much known by some students because my behavior was always striking. I was often late for school but the punishment I received was so light, and it often got into trouble with every activity, but I always escaped punishment. It all astonished all school students, until finally my status as a nephew of the headmaster was revealed, making the upperclassmen so afraid to make trouble with me, and also make the teachers did not dare to give punishment to me. It made me the attention of all the students at school and it was definitely because my beauty and my friend's friends were highlighted and admired by some of the men at school.

“Hay al” greet a man who approached me and my friend who was spending time resting in class.

“Hay brother Devan” answer all my friends.

I just gave her a smile, Devan pulled the chair beside me and sat down beside me.

Devan is one of the most favorite students in the school, because he also sits in the third-class seeded, as well,and he is a basketball athlete who is often cheered on all students who watch his game in the basketball field. He also participated in extracurricular arts with me, and that's where we first met.

“Al, today go home from school where are you not?”

“Mmmhh,, I just asked my mom to go home just so right, because at the end of this I have a lot of activities so often very late to go home” I try to avoid it.

“Oh so, anyways I nanya from yesterday but you don't bales order me”

“Emang sister no send sms?” I asked so convincingly pretending to be confused, but Devan looked so disappointed.

“Sorry yes brother, maybe message big brother or gaunt me as soon as I see, later try to check again his message”

“Yes I'm fine what will come home I wait yes let me anter home, bye all” not yet I have time to refuse his invitation he has gone away just like that.

My face turned so upset, I was so uncomfortable with Devan's attitude that it made me even ilfeel.

“Al, you why the hell cuek so much with Devan, he's really handsome al, popular again in this school, this, you should be very lucky to be in the same taxi he” said Venna who began to make me more upset.

“Iya tau nih, so selling very expensive anyway lo,lagian ka Devan tuh ga stop for deketin lo tau ga, it seems very sincere he even lo cuekin” added Tata.

I tendered my body so limp and confused. Not that I was so expensive or trying to disappoint him, but indeed I did not like him, even though he was handsome and so popular, he did not attract my attention at all.

“Alhena, called bu Renatha in the music room” who she is, she just tucked a message in the doorway and left just like that, making me squint.

Ms. Renatha is my music art teacher, I started getting close to Ms. Renatha because she often asked me to sing when the extra activities took place.

I immediately approached her to the art room.

Tok tok tok tok

I opened the art room door slowly.

“Excuse me Mom call Alhena?”

“Iya Alhena, here enter” I enter the room and again close the door.

When I turned around so surprised I saw Althara sitting behind the drum with a stick in her hand and some of her friends there were each holding another instrument.

Althara looked at me, and I immediately turned my face towards Renatha's mother.

“What's bu?”

“Al, we have a music competition event every year between schools in the Province, well this taun you are chosen to participate in the competition to become a vocalist, you are willing right?”

“Sheep bu?”

“Iya”

“For when ?”

“The talk is still 1 month away but the preparation we have to start from now” if I directly look at Althara who is watching me.

I can't keep around him who always makes me uncomfortable.

“Sorry mom, but nothing else, ma'am ? I mean my voice is not so good ma'am, my voice is still ordinary , must be many other students whose voice is better than I” I try hard not to follow this additional activity which will certainly shoot my time in school.

“So you don't want?”

“Not so bu but..”

my activities have been so much, PR has also been piled up, not to mention other extra activities, where maybe I want to add other activities to add to my busyness at school, where I might want to add to my activities,not to mention I have to keep meeting with the upperclassmen who will make me uncomfortable being around.

I said in my heart while glancing at Althara who was still watching me in annoyance.

“Already, there is no but-but , I believe in you and Mr. Headmaster also believe in you if you can be relied on to win the race, you should be able to scent the good name of this school okay”

I would have liked to refuse so hard, but what power I can not oppose this teacher who has always been good to me and also he brought my Uncle. I breathed so hard and hard.

“Oke bu” answer me finally with a heavy heart.

“Well that's doong, you have to be upbeat during practice. Now you get acquainted first with all our handsome personnel”

Whats? A handsome?

“Hay I Alhena from tenth grade seed” so sweet her I got acquainted while giving my awkward smile to the upperclassman who looks familiar to me.

“Gue Edo” I know this one, he is a student who is often talked about by Ghea.

“Gue Kevin” is high in white and his hair is so neat.

“Gue Rizal” this is rather black sweet, her hair is a bit bald persisi like samuel rizal. Maybe his father used to be inspired by the movie eifell in love.

They are no strangers to me, because they are friends of Althara who always follow Althara wherever she goes, and also my OSIS mentors.

“OK, yes Al”

“Yaa” spontaneous me and Althara simultaneously scour Renatha bu. Althara and I immediately threw a glance.

“Haha I mean Ibu Althara, try to accompany Alhena sing first, we hear again what Alhena voice model like, so that you can find the right tone and song for her”

Althara came down from her seat behind the drum and passed me and sat behind the piano. I didn't know that he could play any musical instruments, why didn't he ever see them on art shows ?

I turned my body around to face him who had turned on the piano. He didn't say what song he was going to play or at least asked me what song he wanted to sing, instead he played an intro song.

But it seemed like the music was familiar to my ears, it was one of my favorite songs as well and I started singing as soon as the intro was done.

If you're not the one then why do my soul feel glad today?

If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?

If you are not mine then why do your heart return my call?

If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?

I'll never know what the future brings

But I know you're here with me now

We'll make it through

And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand

If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?

If I don't need you then why does your name resolve in my head?

If you're not for me then why do this distance maim my life?

If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away

But I know that this much is true

We'll make it through

And I hope you are the one I share my life with

And I wish that you could be the one I die with

And I'm prayin' you're the one I build my home with

I hope I love you all my life

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand

If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away

And I breathe you into my heart

Pray for the strength to stand today

'Cause I love you, whither it's wrong or right

And though I can't be with you tonight

You know my heart is by your side

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand

If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

Is there any way that I could stay in your arms?

Then after the song ended and also the same ending with the piano accompaniment, I returned to my world. I didn't realize that I'd been so absorbed in the song and enjoyed the song.

The sound of applause from Renatha ma'am and Althara's friends made me realize, I bowed my head in shame. And glanced at Althara who was still looking at her piano, I don't know what she was thinking.

Then he stood up and looked at me so sharply and coldly, and I could not help looking back at him.
