HAPPY READING 🙏🙏🙏🙏

'You deket her well?'

'No, know it…'

'But you guys are smsan right?'

'Yes…'

'Often?'

'Not really…'

'Lies, they smsan all the time…'

'Wow danger, your rival…'

A guy in question just looked at us cutely while saying, 'as often as they text, the feeling can't be lied to right?'

Then he looked at me who was looking down, unable to say because of it.

The morning sun greeted me warmly. The morning breeze felt so softly blowing away every single strand of my hair. I try to tidy up the strands of my hair that are now messy. This morning I accidentally didn't piggyback my hair. I don't know, I don't have a reason. I just want it.

School, pride. I smiled gently. After a few weeks of semester break, I'm standing here again. It felt so comfortable and warm to be at the school that I wanted.

I turned my mind back on the day before the holidays, I smiled back at those memories. 'How are you doing this new semester?' my inner. It is still clearly recorded how a few weeks ago a classmate greeted me in a different way. Offering a ride to Cila's birthday party my classmate. Though at that time he could have invited his girlfriend to go to the event, but he chose to take me. Suddenly my consciousness returned. 'Oh my god, she has a boyfriend. What's wrong with me? Think of someone who belongs to someone else. It's wrong.'

I came back to my senses. Now in front of me, I see girls who are joking with the thrill. I smiled again and immediately ran to them. My High School begins again.

'Synthia…'

I looked, confused. 'Yes, why Rey?'

'You want me to pick you up tonight?'

Silent. Shock. Yes I was shocked. In shock, I could only stare confusedly.

My classmates immediately stopped their activities. And started to notice me and Rey. Understandably at that time I was sitting right in the front row of the language laboratory so that all eyes were focused on me.

'Ehem.' someone pretended to cough. 'Answered dong Sin, don't be confused….'

'Wgg? How is Rey? Why don't you ask your girlfriend?'

'But I want to go with you Sin…'

I went back to silence. Whatisthis? A thrilling feeling I've never felt before. I honestly wanted to say 'yes' from the start. But I don't know, there's a little bit of guilt when I accept his invitation right away and he has a lover.

'That's it, you ask my brother. I'm afraid he won't be able to go with a guy night-night.' I said at last.

'That means you want to?' he ensured.

I'm nodding. And he smiled with relief.

The first thing I look for at the beginning of every morning is 'him'. Rey. Sometimes I accidentally look at him and when he finds out I immediately turn my face away. Sometimes I also accidentally saw him looking at me and he was the same, immediately turned his eyes away. God, I don't understand what all this means.

A news story spread so fast in my class. News of Rey's breakup with her lover is being teased. I tried not to respond, even though in my heart I was cheering. One of my classmates said 'Sin, there's a possibility…'

I just smiled and shook my head.

December 3, 2012

I was looking at myself in the mirror. Tonight Rey promised to pick me up for Fila's birthday. I glanced at my bedroom wall clock. 'Not yet to come. has he forgotten?' my inner. Doubts started to come to my mind. Maybe he was just kidding. But I take it too seriously.

I almost took off my evening dress when Sister Wulan called me. 'Sin, Rey pick you up.. sneak out…'

A message came in. I scrunched my forehead, not believing. My phone display shows an incoming message from Kak Lukman. A classmate I admired.

It's Sintia?

Briefest. But it makes me cheer.

I immediately replied to that text. Who would have thought, the text continues every day.

Indonesian lessons are boring today. Everyone was busy with the essai assignments our language teachers gave us. This time I chose to sit at one of the Indonesian language laboratory tables. Each row has four tables, I choose the second table. No one was on my desk. When I write essays. I felt someone sitting next to me. Because of my writing position I can see that she doesn't wear a skirt but gray trousers. I glanced at the person next to me.

She smiles. Sweet. 'alone?'

'No, crowded really, same classmate.' I replied innocently.

'No, it means sitting here alone, right?'

I saw Rey trying to respond to me patiently.

'Oh, yes.' I replied briefly.

'I'm sitting here, okay?'

I just nodded. No more talks after that. But I hope he stays there. Sure enough, he sat there. And just got up when the break bell rang.

Brother Wulan is dragging me to the canteen. I tried to let go of her hand that was pulling my hand by force.

'Sister, Sintia won't…'

'Udah, come with me…. Why do you often smsan if you never talk directly…'

Brother Wulan does not care about me who is struggling. When I was busy releasing my hand from my brother's grasp, I accidentally saw Rey who was getting ready to go to the race with her team. I saw so many people around, they were praying. 'May win Rey.' my inner. Sister Wulan re-launched the action to take me to meet her friend, Kak Lukman.

And finally here I am now, at a cafeteria table. With my brother and sister Lukman. I just lowered my head not daring to look at the person sitting in front of my brother. I want to get out of that chair immediately. But it feels rude to leave my brother and sister Lukman just like that.

Brother Lukman offered to pick me up for the birthday of one of my classmates who was his acquaintance. But I refused subtly. For the show, Rey promised to pick me up again. And I already agreed. Lukman initially still tried to offer a ride but eventually he gave up because of his efforts that were unable to make me change the decision.

Rey said she'd pick me up tonight. But he easily said that he could not come and just hand me over I went with Kak Lukman. Rey said she gave up. Rey said she once told me how she felt. But after that, he felt that I was starting to stay away from him. Rey said she couldn't be like Lukman who always texted me. Rey said I better be with Lukman. Rey said, why don't I tell her how I feel. Rey said, I hope my relationship and Lukman's brother are okay in the future.

Rey, I'm being honest. From the beginning I chose you more than Brother Lukman. But I feel like you've never been serious, and I've had a relationship with Kak Lukman. Sorry rey, if I'm interrupting your life. Send.

Why not Sin? I used to be real, but I feel our relationship is even so tenuous. Yes, yes, lasting well.

I stared at you, replied sms it. 'You never said Rey…'

God, I stand alone now. I leave the people I love and choose the people who love me. Butwhat? I leave the people who love me and hope the people I love will come back. But now both are gone. I can no longer reach and reach.

Tonight, all of my high school students are in the school field. Enjoy farewell chants and 'sorry' words spoken to each other. Prom night, yes we got together because of this. A last little party for a twelfth grader that will leave us. Their struggle in High School is over. The war they have passed. What remains tonight are memories. Glad, as it was finally able to see them smiling carelessly after the national exam. Sad, because they will probably miss their figures very much. And that is definitely losing.

I stood watching the field so crowded. Many are taking pictures. And I found my brother taking pictures with his friends. I smiled at their strange styles.

When I look beside me, I see it. The person I miss so much. He himself, just like me. She's looking. We were silent for a moment, looking at each other.

'Rey.' A girl approached him, Rey who was looking at me gasped. Now he's not alone. I immediately turned my face away. Instantly the pain entered my heart.

'If it was Rey…'
