A Gift for Lala

Twenty-Eight - Fadly Transfer News

At rest, I immediately approached A'am because I wanted to hear the story about his sister. Turns out A'am had a little sister. But an accident has taken Rara.

"I'm so sad, La. But I realized, the life and death of a certain God." A'am bowed sadly.

"But no papa now. Just look at his picture sometimes sad. You know, La, I really want to have a little sister. My four brothers are all guys, so I love Rara. But God has other plans."

I've never seen A'am look that sad. People who do not know A'am inside out certainly do not think that A'am has experienced such a sad loss. I was amazed by A'am, he was able to show as if he was the happiest person and never had any problems. That is, sometimes we are too fixated on our problems so that we will assume our problems are the most severe. The problems of others are many times heavier than our problems.

"La?" Me and A'am flinched and then turned towards the source of the sound. Junot looked at me with a smile. I remember yesterday almost going for a walk with Junot but because there was Trian so it failed. Oh yeah, Trian asked me yesterday who the two guys were standing next to me. I told you they were Junot and Fadly whom I told him about a lot.

"But the same two guys you were yesterday deserve to be school idols. They can, too, deserve your heartbreak like that" Trian teased yesterday and I smiled as I pinched her. Then we laughed.

Junot's presence made A'am understand the situation. He immediately told me to go to the cafeteria leaving me and Junot.

I felt a heart palpation again when I got close to Junot. I also wonder why I still have the same feeling this guy after being hurt.

"Yesterday was a big scene, you know," Junot opened the conversation. I smile.

"You've known Cristian for a long time?" ask Junot.

"Not really. He confided in me, "and I told him the story of my acquaintance with Trian.

"You like Cristian?"

"Did? You mean you want to be her boyfriend?" I'm laughing a little. "No, know me already. So his best friend is already happy."

Junot nodded with a smile.

"La, do you still want to go with me?" Junot looked at me expectantly.

"Have a new target?"

"What?"

"Well, if you push me like this, you might have other goals to be jealous of."

A'am's face changed instantly. He's bowed. I am a little sorry for what I said just now. But it's too late. That sentence came out.

"Do you think that?" He shakes my shoulders, "La, it seems you haven't forgiven me."

"Trus now what is your purpose in taking me out if it's not for that?" shoot directly. I want to know the answer.

"Yes, I promised you. And promises must be kept. And... And yes, just a walk"

I smiled, the word 'just' made me sad. Why is it so hard to tell another reason, a reason I had long hoped for. I seem to expect too much more.

"Am, thank you for the edit. Hmmm... What do you think?" I approached A'am who had just arrived at the classroom.

"The story is interesting. Btw, personal experience, huh?" A'am smiled mischievously at me.

"Hehe. yeah, you know."

"When do you keep sending it?"

"Today, back to school."

"Oh yes, La. Chorus' final rehearsal tomorrow, you know. And surely until that afternoon, don't forget to tell your mother" A'am reminded me.

"Yes... Sis.." answered me while ignorant call him 'Sister' because he often calls me 'Dek'.

The shadow of Yola and her two maids appeared in front of the door. Poor Yola, she didn't get Junot or Fadly. Does that include rewards for a cocky chick who always feels the center of attention and gets nothing?

I haven't seen Fadly in a long time. Where's the kid, huh? Since Trian's arrival I haven't seen the trunk of his nose. 

"La, did you know that Fadly was moving?" Tumben today Yola is very friendly. 

"No. Where'd he move to?"

"To Sydney come with her ort."

"To Australi?" i'm appalled. I was so busy I forgot about Fadly. And now that I hear this news, means he's gonna miss the basketball finals? Fadly is one of the keys to the school basketball team.

"Am, you know what Fadly's move is?" I walked over to A'am and asked.

"Yes, don't you know?" reply A'am. I shook my head quickly.

"Hmmmm. kirain you already know. Not that you're hanging out with Fadly. Oh yes ding, I forgot, now you are the same Junot," said A'am in a loud voice.

"Sstttt... A'aaam.." I elbowed A'am. But it seems like a lot has been heard including Yola. But I saw he didn't react. Maybe he can accept the truth.
