7 Days With Althara

7 Days With Althara
First day



The Monday I never expected arrived.


At 08:30 I was already preparing in my room in casual clothes to go to practice at school. I wear a sky blue shirt and wear blue jeans, my hair tied back and white sneakers.


I sat next to my room and thought of Althara. How could he pick me up if he never asked me for my full address. The proof is already at this hour he still has not given the news.


My phone is shaking in my bag. A message with an unknown number came into my phone.


‘Patan catapult very much anyway!’


I was guessing who sent this kind of message, and Althara's name flashed through my mind. I ran to the window door and looked down looking for the creature. And sure enough he's out of my gate with his sport bike, full face helmet and with his cell phone in his hand.


I rounded my eyes and immediately ran out of room , descending my stairs quickly.


“Non won't have breakfast first?” Shouted bi Inah who had prepared a breakfast that was only for me.


“Ngga bi I was in a hurry late”


I quickly opened my doors and gates. Seeing Althara who seemed to have been upset waiting for me who did not know when she was there.


I set my breath first to talk to him at least I apologized for making him wait.


“Pick this pack and rose” ketusnya while thrusting a new smelling helmet from his hands.


I let out a sigh and undoed the intention to apologize to him. Because I see Althara doesn't need that.


He drove his bike so fast, I held his jacket from behind trying not to fall.


The first exercise was so smooth, there were no obstacles at all. The song that will be included in the race has started smoothly in play. He said this race event has been around for 3 years in a row, and from 3 years ago his personnel were Althara and friends of this friend, never changed at all by Ms. Renatha, she said, and our school always comes home with a trophy even if it's always second place.


My question came up as soon as I found out about the history of this music competition.


Who was the previous vocalist?


Not if it's Althara's angaktan, meaning the vocalist is still in this school, why not just him who continues this race ?


But I better not know much about all this, because it's of no importance to me.


After finishing at 15:00 I walked through the school corridor which was already very quiet.


“Lo where to go?” Althara blocked my steps.


“Yes I want to go home”


“Ya my motor right there,lo ngerjain I really have to nyari lo rich gini”


“Loh who told you to come to me”


“Handphone lo why is it active?” Her question left me unaware of it and immediately saw my phone in the bag.


“My phone is off lowbat” I said with annoyance.


“Ya back there” I kept quiet and even confused.


“Ga try, I can ride public home his” said I sound so evil because it does not heed his good intentions.


I never want to continue with her who is so jutek like this, but I also do not want to linger in public transportation for long.


“Hard head so person. If you don't want me really-not going to love the same again lo!”


“Ih yes wait, so incredibly people nya” annoyed me while chasing her.


Althara did not answer, she just continued walking towards her motorcycle parking lot.


Althara gave her helmet back to me, this helmet is sky blue, so nice and so new-looking, she said, I even had a chance to think that Althara deliberately bought a new helmet because I was going to hang out with her during training, but I immediately repelled that unreasonable prejudice. How could Althara have deliberately bought me a new helmet to wear. Maybe this helmet does belong to him but never in his wear because the color is so funny.


We got in front of my house, I got down and took the helmet off my head.


“Thank you yah” I said while giving her helmet back.


“Simpen aja I ribet bring it, tomorrow is still training right?” I was confused by his attitude.


“Yes thank” he didn't answer me at all and just left.


I entered my house, already seen Papa and Mama who were sitting relaxing in the living room with their favorite tontoan.


“Alhena pahangg” shouted at me as I lay down on the empty seat.


“how's the rehearsal show?” Ask Papa.


“Boring” short.


“Kok boring anyway? it's good to learn”


Everyone who hears the psti will find this fun, but the story is different if I always feel uncomfortable should always meet people who I do not like at all.


“Say aunt was you in anter cow here who ?” Ask papa


“Temen latian pa, it just so happens that she's home in the same direction as me, so she can all shuttle me”


“Oh, why didn't I tell you to go in first anyway? Kan Mama Papa can all say thanks to him”


I looked at the mother who had started smiling suspiciously. I know what they're thinking now.


“Aduh deh mah, he really nyebelin I also gamau actually in the shuttle him, he,if Alhena had been allowed to bring his own car, Alhena did not need to repotin others” said me with a little insinuation both parents who still do not allow me to drive a car or motorcycle until I graduate school.


“Kan Papa has said, you finish your school first, whatever car you want Papa can buy as long as your rapot value is good”


I turned my eyeballs around hearing Papa say that surely there would be no way I could get such a perfect score for getting my dream car.


“Whose helmet has, have you bought yourself?” Mom asked to see me holding a new helmet.


“Not, this has him who was carrying Alhena”


Mom smiled.


“Kalo he mengnebelin he could not minjemin you new helmet it and ask you to make simpen”


“Mah this is just a helmet, he just does not want to bother bringing another helmet for me, later if the race has settled also I return” my upset.


“You can ask him to buy why he has to minjemin?” Ask Mama who increasingly confused me and think, that what was said by mama there is indeed a truth as well. Althara could have asked me to bring my own helmet, why would she know if I didn't have a helmet ?


“Aduh deh mah pa, already yes Alhena cape want to go to the room first want to take a shower to rest bye”


My words left both of my parents still smiling suspiciously.


I went straight to the bathroom and cleaned my body, after I finished cleaning myself, I saw a helmet lying on the side seat of my bed.


I grabbed her and looked at her, If it's true that this is a new helmet, why would Althara be that good to me?


Althara confused me.
