Abnormal Metamorphosis
Chapter 2: Grey Poetry
“Hei, Rosaline! Wait!” Sheila was hooked – go after Rosaline who had already stepped out of the school gate, when it was 10 minutes after the bell went home.
“What's up? It really seems important? Your math replay value can be 100?”sahut Rosaline while giggling.
“Only you, but thank you if it is true....Hehehe..” Sheila finally managed to accompany Rosaline's steps.
“Eh seriously now, what did you call me earlier?”ask Rosaline.
“See this? The brochure I got from brother Mira chairman of OSIS.” Sheila replied as she brandished a colorful – brochure to the front of Rosaline's nose. “Our school anniversary brochure, the 14th, will be enlivened with ‘Princess Snow’ theater show, poetry reading contest and many others! Really excited to see it.”
“Cool reward! Is there a poetry race? You're a poet, you're coming, right?” said Rosaline with sparkling eyes – binaries.
“Ya, and you also have kudaftar will join the theater show ‘Princess Snow'.” Sheila said kalem.
“What?! You signed me up for the theater?!” Rosaline immediately nodded. “Kok didn't say – tell me first?”
Sheila chuckles at Rosaline's red face – yellow – green because says – said.
“Kan now I've told you..” Sheila said while glancing mischievously.
“Ih.....You..” Rosaline was about to pick up Sheila when
arriving – arrives a Kawasaki Ninja H2R motor sport stop near Rosaline and Sheila makes the two girls turn their heads. The driver was wearing a school uniform as well.
“Sorry...” reprimand the Kawasaki Ninja H2R rider without unlocking his helmet, but Sheila can still recognize his face.
“Grey!!” sheila's strangulation is hysterical either because she's happy ( eh?), but the so-called Grey is more concerned with Rosaline than Sheila. Grey reached into his uniform pocket and held out something to Rosaline.
“It just so happens, I don't have to look for you anymore then, this is for you.” Grey said unexpectedly. After saying that, the young man started his bike again, and drove away leaving Rosaline and Sheila who were dumbstruck – because of his actions.
“Rosaline, what did Grey give you? Try reading dong!” sheila said she was curious to see a neatly folded piece of paper in Rosaline's handle.
“Weird young man!” rosaline commented as she unfolded the paper Grey had given her earlier. It turned out to be a poem.
Small butterfly, little,
I wanted to touch you but I was scared,
Afraid that when I touch you will fly away from me
Small butterfly, little,
Whether our togetherness used to be fragile from your memory
Absorb butterflies – beautiful but not long-lived?
Rosaline and Sheila looked at each other after reading the writing, the poem.
Grey gave her a poem? Rosaline's heart was racing. Again – again he called me little butterfly? Whatdoes thatmean? Our first togetherness? Did I ever be with Grey? Inner Rosaline asked.
“Wah, wah, sign – this sign..” comment Sheila while smiling – meaningful smile on Rosaline.
“What does it mean to give this poem? What togetherness?” rutuk Rosaline confused.”Just met at this school, when was he with her? You freak! Already ah, we just go home yuk..”.
“Isn't this wrong, son? Five hundred grand? As you recall, the cake you brought this morning was not much.” mother immediately commented to see the money given by Rosaline.
“There are alms with us, ma'am.” replied Rosaline origin of the sound, although her mother obviously – clearly looks astonished.
“Who?”ask Reyna, Rosaline's sister who also just returned from her campus.
“Grey Adinegoro, new kid at my school, eleventh grade.” says Rosaline briefly.
“Grey Adinegoro? Like a name that is already very familiar it sounds.” comments Reyna while frowning. “Kan is not a Grey your best friend time in TK and SD first right?”
Reyna Rosaline's sister arrived – arrived with a small laugh when she said that, seemed to be reminded of something funny.
“What does sister mean?” rosaline was confused.
“My dear sister, the time forgot the fat Grey who likes to spend mother-made cakes up to a jar in our house.” Reyna said while squeezing Rosaline's nose with anxiety.
“Haa?”Rosaline clutches her mouth, shocked.”I mean big brother, Grey the..”.
A flash of – flashes of old memories that arrived - arrived as if flashed back in the eyes of Rosaline, a small fat figure who ran – run in the house, it was, snatch the cake jar from his hand and eat the cake until it runs out in the corner of the living room. A flash of her figure who was also a child pecked – pecked at the fat figure....
“Remember?” Reyna smiled at the reaction of her sister. “Yes sister just guessed, who knows she turned out to be your best friend Grey first..How many Grey Adinegoro are there in this city?”
“Oh no! There's no way that Grey is...Not likely...The name can be the same.” denied Rosaline is not sure or exactly the girl did not accept that Grey who was at school was actually his best friend Grey first, he said, remembering Grey's arrogant behavior in front of the cafeteria this morning, but Rosaline also went into her room, because the curiosity disturbed her so strongly due to the word – said her brother, because of her curiosity, the girl took apart her desk drawer, pulled up a photo album that was worn out because it had long been stored in the corner of her drawer. Rosaline sat on her bed, opening – open the page sheet of that photo album, her childhood photo album, her, photo album dominated with photos – photos of herself with a boy – fat boy. Memories of – memories were back rolling, about the fat boy – who became his best friend when Rosaline was still sitting on the bench of Kindergarten and first class SD, about the fat boy – boy who made little Rosaline cry because the boy – boy had to leave little Rosaline, and moved to America following his family. Nine years old boy – boy made little Rosaline wait, and it was too long for little Rosaline, so many memories that eventually become forgotten. Rosaline sighed, watching the face of the boy – boy in the photo, the girl reflected on the face of Grey who was at school.
Anyway it seems I have to admit that Reyna's guess is true too! Surprising indeed, it seems he was indeed Grey the fat best friend first deh. Look at those light brown eyes, his nose...Her lips...Same...All same....Ah this is true – is true like a dream! I didn't expect it at all! Rosaline took another look at – photos on her album, well, only now Grey is not fat anymore as he used to be, Grey who has now turned like a metamorphosis ugly fat cocoon into a beautiful butterfly – dazzling. What used to be fat is now tall, slim and....The handsome....Oh no, no, why should I say handsome anyway? Rosaline shook her head – shaking her head trying to brush off Grey's current shadow. It was hard to believe, Grey Adinegoro who in his school is pretentious and arrogant, is the fat Grey his best friend first, the cheerful, the kind... How can ya? After nine years of not meeting...
But memories of his childhood – days with Grey soon erase Grey's pretentious and arrogant shadow from Rosaline's mind, the girl arrived – suddenly felt missed and desperately wanted that wonderful childhood back. Rosaline began to recall those memories, how they used to play together, eat cakes together....They are like brothers...Rosaline remembers when she played with Grey in the park near their house, running – run among the flowers – flowers, among the butterflies – flying, cheerful, frilly – joking, joking, it was as if there would never be any trouble between them. And at that time, Grey called out to him...Small butterfly....
“Ya Lord..” Rosaline – hastily picked up a small paper containing a poem that Grey gave at the school earlier from his uniform pocket. Fortunately, the paper was not wasted.
Small butterfly, little,
I wanted to touch you but I was scared,
Afraid that when I touch you will fly away from me
Small butterfly, little,
Whether our togetherness used to be fragile from your memory
Absorb butterflies – beautiful but not long-lived?
Our togetherness first....It must have been their togetherness when Grey questioned childhood in his poem! Grey tried to remind himself! Rosaline arrived – arrived very sorry could not immediately recognize Grey. Ah I'm sorry Grey....
Rosaline can't wait for tomorrow, when she returns to school, she wants to quickly – quickly meet Grey and repeat the togetherness. The togetherness was cut off for nearly nine years because the Grey family had to move to America because of Grey's father's work. Rosaline did not expect that they could meet again now. Ah Grey dudulok did not preach it first anyway? Precisely even arrived – just entered his school, hit him while – mena in front of the canteen...Giving poetry... You freak Grey! Watch out for you tomorrow!
