20 Early Steps

What is love really? What doubts too? Where did they come from? People say they come from the heart but also from the mind. Let's say they come from both. So what did they come to me for? Who sends doubts about love to me? Am I worthy? Who am I and why should I do this?

Trying to love someone else so as not to hurt her heart. Was my action wrong? Is this really what you call love? I don't know the feeling that's haunting me now. Bizarrely. I feel weird about all this. But my mother was right I had to give her a chance when she gave me a chance to take it. When I doubt he will feel disappointed and angry so I feel guilty. Again I asked what is this thing called love?

I was frustrated with my own thoughts. "Rani's not wrong to try" I thought. Yes Love exists because I am used to being together, I have been with him for a long time, I definitely love him. Maybe I just didn't realize it, yes I already love him.

My neck moved slowly and I looked up to find Daniel among the hundreds of people who were lined up listening to the woman who was in the briefing for our departure in a moment. In the light of the illuminating field lights I saw him there, marching with his friend there. Did he hear my heart from here?

My gaze could not be separated from him, I kept calling his name. Who knows if he hears my heart here. But he remained focused not looking at it one bit. Maybe this heart sound didn't get heard there.

As I was about to turn around to look forward, my tail caught someone who was looking this way. Stifling. He smiled at me, I also pulled a smile on my face and then turned his face away from her.

"Rani let's sneak up later you're late,"mamah shouted from inside the car telling me to quickly store my suitcase in the trunk and then immediately leave.

I then lifted my suitcase with great difficulty. Rangga who was standing next to him offered help.

"Do you want me to help you?"ask her. I shook my head slowly because the suitcase had been successfully lifted and I kept it in the trunk of the car even though it was hard.

"Gue is strong," I smiled at him who was storing his ash suitcase next to my suitcase. Daniel then came and kept his rough suitcase and smiled at me and Rangga.

"Let's go later we're late,"Daniel grabbed me and took me to the side of the car. He opened the back door for me.

"I am the same in front. You are the same as Rangga."Daniel invited me to sit down together but I refused sweetly and chose to sit in the front seat with my mother.

Our car then rushes to school which is our departure point. I then glanced at the rearview mirror in the car and noticed those who were throwing their faces at each other. Bizarrely.

"Rani come on,"Nina pulled my hand and pulled me back to consciousness where the line had broken up and the students/students were moving towards their bus.

"L-yes come on," I said. I let Nina hold my hand tightly and took me inside the bus. We have stored our luggage and only brought snacks to eat during the trip as well as a small backpack containing a few items.

I sat by the window in the fourth row from the front. In accordance with the direction that I heard a little earlier that the homeroom teacher sat near the driver then the students and the last one was the students.

The bus quickly filled up and noisy by the sound of people scrambling over the place as well as the bus engine that began to turn on. Luckily Nina took me fast so we didn't have to scramble to sit down. Nina plays her phone. I stood up and looked back to find someone.

Daniel smiled as he waved at me, and I saw him sitting with Rangga there. I thought something was going on with them. But that thought I threw away when they saw interest sitting together. I felt relieved and then sat back comfortably.

I glanced out the window where the sky had darkened but there was no moon or stars hanging there.

"Everything is absent first yes," said Bu Ajeng, my homeroom teacher in class 12 B, standing in front with Bu Indah who is the guardian of class 12 I class Daniel and Rangga.

One by one, the hands lifted and said they were present. And Bu Indah immediately choked the students who had already been approved. Before long everything was confirmed on the bus. Now Rasya - one of the committee from class 12 B- - spoke and repeated a little briefing material earlier. While Rasya spoke Athaya-panitia class 12 I-shared a hanging name tag as a marker in the entourage.

I opened my eyes when the bus was a little shaken by the road. I'm lyric on my watch and time shows at two in the morning. I glanced around and all were still sound asleep - except driver-Ku peeked at the night sky through the curtains I opened slowly. And the sky is still black.

Where are we now?

I tried to close my eyes and fall asleep in the most comfortable position possible but this drowsiness had completely disappeared. I got bored and I started playing my phone but soon I got bored again.

Are Rangga and Daniel still asleep?

I pitched my head slightly upwards and then glanced back to check their situation. And they still sleep comfortably.

I confirmed my sitting position then looked back at the window. There was a silhouette of a tall building as well as other buildings and it was very beautiful when the sky was sprinkled with stars and the pale moon was embarrassed to reveal itself.

I noticed the street and then the bus stopped at the rest area to refuel as well as the other bus buses. After that the bus again drove down the road full of flickering car lights are different.

Nina squirms with her still asleep state. He hugged me unconscious. Nina is really funny while sleeping. He wriggled again and then kept his body away from me and then fell asleep on my back.

I looked back at the streets that were now quieter than before. The road is a little narrower and a little closer to a big tree. I've never been out of town before. I don't know why I feel so familiar with this place. Maybe because the street is similar to the city streets I have been to.

Ciiitt

This bus stopped suddenly following the bus in front of him making the entire bus wake up by arriving. They began to speak and say to each other "what is this?".

"Ran what the hell,"Nina who was sitting next to me got up and started asking me. I nodded and replied I didn't know. The lights in the bus are turned on and then make the lighting in the bus bright. Everyone began to panic because we stopped suddenly on a quiet street full of shady trees.

Negative thoughts start to attack people's brains. Moreover, when people in the front bus began to go down with a flat face that is still tangled sleepy and then stay on the side of the road. Soon the driver of the other bus came and told the bus driver to get off. I don't know what, but soon we were told to go down as well.

What's the matter, actually?

I'm afraid it's a bus hijacking. But hopefully it's just a thought in my brain. I let out a long sigh then lined up to go down with the others with a small backpack on my back.

What's actually going on?
