After the Wound

Buddy

"Now!", Kamil offered Ale a drink

"Thank you" Ale replied receiving a drink from Kamil. Honestly, she was indeed thirsty after rehearsing a few songs. Yes, after being forced to enter Grenada, Ale is now also forced to practice because Rama asked him to be his duet friend for the race next month. Ale was reluctant at first, but again - again Rama made him have no choice.

The two sat in a chair right in front of the music room. "You're tired, right?"

Ale glanced at Kamil at a glance, the young man changing his call - I'm at him. And it feels a little strange according to him, because they are not who - who.

"sorry. I ... I just want us to be friends" Kamil said with a sincere smile

Ale fell silent. Befriends? With the opposite sex? It's not strange to have a man's friend. But the message from his father kept on ringing. For some time now, Kamil did intensively come to him. Even though he continued to be ignored, Kamil remained persistent in approaching him. There was nothing wrong with Kamil, he was kind, polite and also handsome. Even Ale could judge, if Kamil was sincere to her. It was just that Ale understood very well, there was no ordinary friendship between a man and a woman. And he was afraid, it would interfere with the focus of his learning.

"Forget it", Kamil's remark made Ale look back at the man, Kamil again - again smiling, "We just got to know, right? It must be strange if we arrive - suddenly friends" he said again

"Why do you want to be friends with me?"

Kamil smiled, "The answer is because you are different from the girl in general"

Kamil's reply made Ale chuckle, "What's different? I'm the same - same girl"

"Of course it's different. You ... What is it"

Ale smiled then stood up, "It seems that being friends with you doesn't hurt"

"J-so you want to be friends with me?" ask Kamil not to believe

"Yes. We can be friends" Ale replied and left

"Yes!!", cried Kamil excitedly, "Thank you, Al!!"

What they did was not spared the sight of Rama, Eros and Devan. It just so happened that the three were still in the music room and of course they saw everything.

"Friends. Pretty good start" said Eros

"That's really loe. From friends, so gebetan" said Devan

Rama passed by just hearing the tweets of Eros and Devan.

"Well, why else a child's soul? Loe doesn't feel it? Lately Rama's been weird?" ask Devan to Eros

"Loe is slow. I think there will be a smell - the smell of competition"

"Great! Hope our friendship doesn't break just because of girls!"

Eros shook his shoulders, "That's the danger of girls. One girl can ruin two boys' friendship"

"Let's not do it, Ros. If you can, one of your horses will give up"

Eros just put his shoulders down, though,

"Good thing Rachel didn't come in. If Fia comes in, you can fire your beard" Devan monologue alone, "Woy, Ros. Waitamin!!"

Rama walked down the school hallway to the back area, his favorite place to calm down. Who would have thought, the place he used to sit had been occupied by someone. The handsome young man sat next to the girl who was casually eating pop noodles. And he was not at all disturbed by the presence of Rama. Both are equally silent. They enjoy the breeze under the Cape tree that shaded them from the scorching sun. The atmosphere that was not too crowded made both of them feel calm.

"Loe is that cute, huh?"

Ale glanced over, he was engrossed in enjoying his lunch regardless of Rama's question.

"Don't get too close to Kamil!"

Ale opened a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down until half was left. "You have no right to rule with anyone I should be friends with!"

"Didn't your father forbid you from making friends with the opposite sex?"

Ale looked at Rama dislike, "In addition to the forcers. I suspect that you're a psychopath too!"

Rama chuckled, "It's up to you to assume what I am! Obviously, I know all about you!"

"If you know all about me, that means you must also keep your distance from me! My dad wouldn't like it if we were friends, either"

"I'm not your friend!"

"Ah yes, I forgot. An authoritarian man like you wouldn't want to be friends with just anyone!" satire Ale

"Don't test my patience, Al. If I say stay away from Kamil, you should stay away from him!"

"Tell me the exact reason why I should obey your words! Listen to me, brother. You are not who - I am. You're not my family. We're not friends either. We're not close. So don't you ever act like you can manage my life!"

Rama looked at Ale seriously, "I just want you to focus on Grenada"

"As far as you want to say what! You have to focus on Grenada!"

"No need to worry! I'm a professional!" sahut Ale then left Rama

The handsome young man only looked at Ale until the woman disappeared from sight.

Ale rushed to the classroom because the bell had rung.

"Al, where did it come from? I nyariin loe from earlier" Icha snatched because the friend disappeared just like that since morning

"Sorry, Cha. Biasa, I'm a practicing oracle"

"Yes too. How was the exercise, all right?"

No time to answer, the teacher who will teach came.

"Good morning, kids?"

"Good morning, Mom"

The lesson begins. All students focus on following the lessons given by the teacher. After attending lessons for nearly two hours, the school bell rang.

"Okay, let's end today's lesson. Don't forget the task is collected no later than eight o'clock"

"Good, Mom"

All students prepare to go home.

"Loe got Papa Eza?"

"Yes. As always" Ale said

"Yes, yuk came out"

The two of them walked towards the front of the school. Unfortunately, Ale had to stop at the parking lot when Rama called out to him

"Well, if so, I'll go first"

"Heart, Cha"

Icha gave her thumb and then passed

"What's wrong?" ask Ale without a word - stale

"We have to exercise"

"It wasn't enough for hours and hours of practice? My voice could be exhausted if the singing continued" Ale protested

"OKAY. That's why you're coming with me now. We need to prepare a few things before the race"

"What do we need to prepare?"

"Costumes"

Ale rolled his eyeballs lazily, "Sister just tell me what the costume criteria are like. I'll buy it myself"

"Can't! Loe has to buy the same I let it match"

Ale clucked, "Silver go first. I'll be with Papa"

"Cannot. Loe has to walk with me! Spots up!"

"No way!"

"Don't let me drag you to sit on my bike!"

"Ck. Yes - yes!"

Ale was forced to ride on Rama's motorcycle.

"Wear the helmet properly!"

"Hm!"

Rama turns on his motorbike then immediately leaves the parking lot. Kamil who just finished a meeting with his basketball team accidentally saw Rama and Ale shaking hands.

"When are they close?" Kamil seemed to think, "What is possible ... Rama likes Ale?"
