Abnormal Metamorphosis

Chapter 7: The Surprising Photo

Even a week Grey doesn't go to school. Just the eighth day, Rosaline sees Grey appear in the school parking lot, getting off her Kawasaki Ninja H2R motorcycle. It was still morning, – new students entered the school yard. Rosaline - with her usual bag, her school bag, her mother's bakery basket - soon approached Grey.

“Hai, where have you been? Said it hurt huh?” greet Rosaline. “I called you, send WA, why not reply?”

“Oh hi, little butterfly? Sorry...Very Sorry but..Yeah, I was sick.” Grey replied in an uncomfortable manner to Rosaline's question. “By the way, what cake do you bring, it smells like delicious once?”

Rosaline felt Grey deliberately diverted the conversation.

“Mau? Here take...Don't pay, it's free for you. But accompany me to the cafeteria leave another cake with the canteen mom huh?” rosaline said as she opened her cake basket and let Grey pick up the cake of her choice.

“Thanks, I miss this pastel a lot!” grey said as he bit the pastel cake taken from Rosaline's basket.

“Eh wait...What's your wrist Grey?” Rosaline was spontaneously shocked, only to be seen by Grey's left wrist wrapped in white bandages.

“No...My wrist is okay – what...Just a small wound kok.” replied Grey in passing. “Yuk fast, between cakes – Iuu, will hunt bell in you?”

“Grey, what is it exactly?” Rosaline doesn't take Grey's answer for granted, the girl feels Grey is hiding something from her. “I knew you got into the hospital yesterday...Please, I'm your best friend, I'm so worried about you, Grey!”

Grey was a little puffed up by the word –, said Rosaline, long before she stared at Rosaline with those light brown eyes, as if it was hard for her to gather trust in her best friend's girl

“You...Worried me?” tanya Grey sounded surprised.

“Of course, Grey! I'm your best friend, of course I care about you.”

“What is it?”

“Iya...I've told you, whenever you want to tell a story, tell me, call me.”.

“Thanks a lot, small butterfly...I do appreciate that..” replied Grey. “Maybe...Maybe later after school, I told you.”

“Maybe?” Rosaline raised her eyebrows because she heard there was doubt on the word – said Grey, but the bell entered the class that reads make Rosaline have to hunt – to finish her business with the canteen mother, he said, before the two with Grey rushing into class – each.

*********

By the time the lesson hour almost entered the break, arrived – arrived HP Rosaline vibrated – deliberately ringtone in silent – sign there is a notification of WA coming in. Rosaline peeked at his HP. From bang Danni. Looks like bang Danni sent a photo. Who's the photo sent by Bang Danni? Thought Rosaline was curious. The girl hid – hide looking at her HP screen, read WA from bang Danni.

“Grey?!” Rosaline was strangled when she saw the photo sent by Danni bang. Fortunately along with the bell break sign rang, Mr. Rangga religious teacher had almost swung his long roll to the table Rosaline because the girl surprised him with the screech earlier.

“What's Ros?” sheila asked to see that Rosaline seemed to be insecure looking at her HP.

“Eh...No. really..” Rosaline hunt – to enter her HP into her uniform pocket. “I first huh? Go to the toilet first, I'll catch up to the cafeteria!”

Rosaline waved at Sheila, as well as Tika, before running out of the classroom, towards toliet.

Inside the toilet, Rosaline took out her HP again and opened the WA from the Danni bang once again. There was a photo that bang Danni sent to her that had already taken her by surprise. And that's a picture of Grey.

I got this photo from a friend of mine who's interning at a mental hospital...

So the sound of WA bang Danni as an introduction to the delivery photo. In the photo, Grey is sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by a nurse and next to her is a burly man Rosaline had seen in Grey's apartment, carrying a large bag with her. Behind them, it was clear that the name of his mental hospital was plastered majestically in a room that seemed to be in the hospital lobby.

Rosaline clasped her mouth, what does this mean? Grey's in a mental hospital?!! Can't be! This must be wrong!

Rosaline couldn't help but look for Danni, and the girl found Sheila's brother chatting with his – friends in front of the cafeteria.

“What are you talking about?...Okay, let's talk somewhere else yuk?” Danni saw the serious face of Rosaline so it feels better to take the girl away from her friend – friends.

“What does this mean bang?” Rosaline could not delay – nunda again with that question when they were already behind the deserted school building. The girl thrust her HP into the front of Danni's nose showing a photo of Danni's delivery.

“Oh it....Yeah, like I sent you, I got it from my friend who's interning at a mental institution...Well a Grey Adinegoro son of conglomerate Darmawan Adinegoro, it certainly attracts the attention of anyone.” replied Danni explained. “Again now answered your question, right? It turns out Grey is mentally ill.”.

“Ah is impossible! Not necessarily bang..” denied Rosaline did not accept.

“Not necessarily how? If regular treatment, time must be in a mental hospital? Is there no other hospital?” danni said while laughing a little scornfully.

Rosaline was silent hearing that.

“Not that I intend what – what...My advice, stay away from Grey, than if you are bothered with him again...His name is mentally ill...You know what?” danni warned.

“Grey can't be mentally ill! If he's mentally ill how could he possibly go to school?” Rosaline tried to find a justification.

“Sickness of soul there will be various – kinds of types. Maybe Grey is still relatively light?” said Danni. “Remember the Marshanda artist who was convicted of bipolar disorder? After all he can still move as usual, play soap operas and so on.”

Rosaline recalled the conversation she had with Grey this morning, how Grey seemed to be evading every time she was asked about her pain. Whether Grey doesn't want his illness to be known because he's actually sick....Well as bang Danni said? The girl's mind was upset. Poor Grey...

“Bang?” Rosaline arrived – suddenly thought of something that made her feel bad.

“Ya?” Danni raised her eyebrows looking so seriously at Rosaline's face.

“Please...For me, and for Grey's sake...The photo is not spread, huh?” Rosaline sounded begging.

What happens if the photo was spread and known by friends – school friends? Grey must be so embarrassed, Rosaline thought.

Danni just widened her eyes hearing that.

“OK I won't spread, but you have to promise to stay away from Grey. It was for your own good, not for my sake.” said Danni as she left the place, leaving Rosaline in turmoil.

When the cute girl finally follows Danni's trail of moving away from the place, Rosaline almost collides with someone who arrives – arrives emerging from the turn of the school hallway.

“Grey!” Rosaline spontaneously exclaimed, as it turned out that the one who almost hit her was Grey.

“Oh hi, small butterfly....What are you doing back there?” grey asked with a smile.

Rosaline feels Grey is not paying attention to Danni who just passed out from behind the school building.

“Grey...” The girl looked at Grey's smiling face with an uncertain feeling, imagined by the photo sent by Danni earlier, as well as the conversation. Is correct? Is it true Grey is suffering...Mental ill?

“Yeah? What's up?” sahut Grey was a little surprised to see Rosaline's serious face. “There is an important?”

“Eh anu's...Greys...You're good – is fine right?” rosaline's voice shook as she asked that.

“Yes...I'm good – is fine...Why?” ask Grey. “What's wrong, Rosaline? You look nerveous's...Are you OK?”

Rosaline so looks so upset and very doubtful – hesitated asked so by Grey. I need to know the truth about the photo, but how? Should I ask Grey directly? Because the sure source is with the person directly. Only Grey offended, didn't I ask him about his illness?
