“Your head has been stuck in celurit, or that bitumen?”
“No sir, not in the head. But my body was paralyzed for a week. Not bad I could not lift the glass so tremor,” hiss Ariel.
“Nih...my age is your age..” Mr. Rendi raised his shirt arm and showed him a thick incision wound along his right arm. “Katana from end to end until my bones are visible. Since then I have been treated from bawuran,”
I glanced at Ariel, the problem is that I've seen a wound on his back that is even more cut than Mr. Rendi's wound.
“Oh... if I am in the calf of the pack, hit by a warning bullet, hehe...”.
That one I don't know.
“But keep you repeat,”
“Pak, I was in the wrong time and the wrong situation,”
“Just reason you..”
“Truly Sir, Suer! Actually my life is straight sir, but many are abstinent. Don't know why! I told you that I fought with Kribo because he brought whisky to the skul, I snatched, he was raging, we fought, the bottle of wisky that I held tossed. Damn mentally to the teacher's room. I have vandalism.”
“Reason aja kamuuu,”
“Halah sir, I drink amer aja mencret sir, my stomach is not strong,”
“Yesterday I saw you drinking vod ka from a small bottle!” Yudhis.
Ariel took out a small stainless bottle from her bag.
I gawk.
My friends are also gripping.
“Lu reckless..” murmured Yudhis.
“Insi cough medicine, loh. Want to try?”
“Hah?”
“Let me just pour the contents into a ginian bottle. Tengsin if I bring my cough medicine to be charged crank-pengkong,” Ariel put the bottle in the middle of the table. Mr. Rendi grabbed it, opened the lid and upheld the contents.
“Anjir, OBH..” hisses. He is becoming maki-maki.
“I demen yells Sir, so need it to relieve-“
“Tamusers!” Mr. Rendi throws Ariel in lettuce.
“It seems that there are those who hope that the contents are real, so that I can confiscate it I continue to bring it to the perpus, mabok there overnight while crying over the life of a single father who keeps khaaaaan?!” ariel's taunting
“Sok knows you, I married twice not quite right!”
“Makanya nyari bini who graduated from pesantren!”
I let out a breath.
Why did my friends pay attention to Ariel? This meeting should be a place to relax the teachers who won the dance competition.
Yeah, Ariel ended up coming with us to a Korean restaurant.
And anyway, throughout the meal I didn't even have the chance to chat with anyone. Ariel dominated everything. He seemed to suck the attention of my friends who began to kepo about the life of the Chairman of Osis Bhakti Putra High School this eccentric.
“That Tattoo on the neck means what? I hardly accept you enter Bhakti Putra because of that!”
“It's Javanese, Rejoprastowo,” hiss Ariel while stroking her neck.
“Why did you do that when you were school-age? You know the risk?”
“Yaaah, this is to be expected by alumni sir, to avoid brawl. My face says Songong, sir. I used to change clothes so casual, still dipalakin, attacked, in begal. Bored me.”
I don't even know about this...What the hell did I do when I became his wife? Why don't we ever talk about these kinds of trivial things?
His life is not my priority.
Anyways... Arka hasn't replied to my message since 3 days ago. Try me WA again, was he so busy until Friday this time he did not reply to my message?
But... Why do I doubt?
I was afraid to interfere with his activities, even though I was guarding his feelings.
Ah...
I lied to myself.
Actually, I'm more afraid that if I disturb, we even fight.
It's not that I'm insensitive about what happened.
I'm afraid of being left out. That's it.
That time I slapped Ariel, because I knew she was right, but really, I don't want to be reminded!
Where is there a man whose girlfriend is married to someone else still sincerely accept the existence of the girlfriend?
Even if my marriage was just a business, for the sake of inheritance, how could Arka not know my married life?
All this time Arka avoids talking about my marriage, it could be that she wants to close her eyes to everything that happens.
I didn't want to bother him for fear that it would turn on me.
I don't want the words: yes, I already have someone else in my life, so I didn't call you. But are you the same, marrying someone else?!
I don't want to hear those words!
Really don't want to!
So I pretended to be naive!
Until now there was one thing I could not forget...
That's Arka's expression when I offered her I had to marry someone from Rejoprastowo for the sake of inheritance.
He doesn't challenge me.
He just raised his eyebrows, then nodded. While saying ‘Oke’.
At that time I knew he was looking forward to his freedom from me.
All this time maybe he was cheating on me, but he didn't want to be separated from me.
Because I was so important to him. He can get into Arghading because of me.
Not that I don't know...
I only delay when the facts are revealed.
Because I love him so much...
“Claudia,” someone nudged my arm.
I'm back to reality.
“Hm?”
“The story is,”
I straightened my head, “Ya?’
Yudhis and Rendi looked at me while raising their eyebrows. “Just be quiet from earlier, break up?” asked Mr. Rendi while grinning.
“Not Sir, Alhamdulillah.” Answer me just as it comes.
Mr. Rendi just sneered.
“Oh yes Riel,” Jenny leaned her body into Ariel and purposely propped her chest up to the edge of the table, “That's Davina dekaka why this morning?”
“They bully Merry bu,” says Ariel.
Again, I just kept listening.
“Merry? Secretary Osis? Dare they bully the members of Osis?!”
“In their group, money speaks Sir.” hiss Ariel. “I also know when Bu Claudia has finished cleaning up her problem.”
“Claudia?”
“Let's not feel call your own name, hehe” replied Ariel.
“Unik also yes you guys, both Ariel, equally firm, you can even say brothers yes, do not-don't your blood type is also the same time!”
“A rhesus positive sir,” we replied together.
“Good...both perfectionists. Don't let your date of birth be the same,”
“April,” we both said so. And I also breathed an upset breath. Ariel chuckled happily.
“Don't tell me the date-“
“No need to ask Sir,” cut me. “I go to the toilet first.” My leg while moving.
I need to be alone.
While Ariel continued the story about the video of Merry bullying that I shared yesterday.
While walking, I realized that my gaze that was looking down on the floor began to blur.
Tears filled my eyes.
I miss Arka so much.
But I was afraid to contact him.
So I'm going to go to the toilet, planning to cry for a moment. Because that's all I can do to ease my heart a little.
