ASTRONOMERS
Chapter 2 - More Confident
..."We are a couple of people who are meant to be together. So the stronger you fight it, the stronger our relationship will be."...
...***...
It had been about two hours Salma was crying nonstop, seen his face had turned very puffy and his nose began to redden.
If asked the reason, it is clearly the incident at the school earlier. True, even though Salma was often judged by Kiki, she still felt hurt. And this crying activity can be said to be his daily activities, because it is the same cause, namely Kiki's speech.
But, Salma kept thinking, is thinking about his future soul mate a mistake? Can't he want a perfect man? Is it because his face is not comparable to Kiki and Juju he has no right to dream?
Tok
“Lisa, eat malem first yuk!”
The sound from the next room made Salma rush to stand up from the mattress, she immediately went to the door listening to the words of the Mother with her Brother, Lisa.
“You've eaten yet? Mommy already cooked roasted chicken tuh!” said the Mother with a tone as sweet as possible.
Hearing their conversation, Salma's heart thumped even more, he felt very worried. It was nothing, even though Salma was the biological child of the house she lived in, the treatment of her and her brother was very much different.
So right, he was now worried, was he invited to eat with his family, like Mother invited Lisa to go down to the dining room?
“Lisa is ready Bun, let's get down!” her brother's sweet voice made Salma close her eyes, unable to accept reality.
“Come!”
After Mother's reply was heard, Salma's heart was more broken, it turned out that the assumption was true, that his family never considered himself to exist.
“Eh briefly Bun, Ameh not invited?” lisa's question that suddenly made Salma flinch, what's her name really called? Is he still remembered today?
However, expectations are not as beautiful as reality, the answer from the biological mother makes Salma's chest split with fate, “no need, later if the laper he also came out alone!”
“Ta-but.”
“Udah come down, hunt the food cold!” the Mother said cutting off Lisa's defense.
And after that the sound of their steps was no longer heard as they were lost in the swallow of the earth, Salma leaned his body on the door near him peeking earlier, and, his hands he used to cover the mouth that had issued a loud sob because he was no longer able to withstand the pain. Everything is too hard for him to take care of himself.
Salma controlled the breath, she felt very sick if she kept crying like this, and as much as possible Salma stopped her crying now.
After her tears dried from spilling too much water, the 17-year-old woman stood up, step by step, sending her to the front of the big glass.
Salma's hands clenched, she hated seeing her own face, a face that made her unlucky all this life. Because with that face, the thing he always wanted could not get. He also hated his life, because he always found someone better than his face, so he was always retarded and ignored. From her friends, to her sister.
“Why am I born with a kayak gini face? Until people don't want to worry about me at all,” Salma rags full of pain.
“If I was born in another life, surely I can not be looked at one eye,” said Salma pitched despair accompanied by a loud voice in the stomach due to not filled all day.
Salma's eyes closed tightly again, until he did not feel he was asleep until dawn.
***
Salma's nearly dislodged legs forced her body to run as hard as possible near the nearly closed school fence. It's nothing, his head is very dizzy now, his body was weak due to not being filled with carbohydrates and vitamins from yesterday.
“Three.”
“Two.”
“One!”
Salma was wide-eyed to see the fence was closed right in front of her eyes, “gue has not entered!” the 12th class women.
“Udah late! Get punishment now!” reply men wearing almet OSIS it doesn't matter.
“Lah! You calculated from my three there are ten steps from here!” Salma did not accept.
“That's your problem! Why not come to me?”
Salma exhaled in annoyance, she stared intently at OSIS.
“Why are you so glaring?” said the OSIS who has the nameplate Rangga Saputra.
“Bukain dong.. I have a sports lesson.” pinta Salma suddenly welcomes. His head would be dizzy if he argued there.
“No! Take the punishment first!”
“I swear, my head is so dizzy! Delay the punishment first!” Salma did not lie, her head was very dizzy at this moment.
"Where can the punishment be postponed?" said Rangga cynic.
"I'm sick again, why not believe it?"
Rangga's eyeballs spin lazily, “classic reasons!”
“Astagfirullah you are so happy!”
“Udah, don't talk much, walkin punishment sekar—“
“RANGGA!” rangga's speech was cut off when the voice of the call from behind him sounded.
Salma and Rangga looked at the source of the sound. Salma's eyes narrowed at the man, his stature was familiar.
“Astro? Tumben call me!” Rangga touching his neck felt wrong. Salma was both surprised and confused. Isn't that the guy she thought was her potential mate?
Ah but the call seemed to be no longer suitable to Astro, the man had already refused outright.
“Lu was called the same OSIS builder, awaited in his room,” said Astro with a super duper flat tone.
“Called? Asked why?” Rangga.
Both Astro shoulders go up together, “not to know.” On the sidelines, Astro sees Salma at a glance, but who is seen only a stiff smile, confused about what kind of expression.
Rangga who felt Astro saw Salma also saw the woman, “why do you smile with Astro?”
“He's a candidate for jod— eh I don't know deh!” correction Salma, he almost slipped.
Rangga looked strangely, but he did not bother, he immediately saw the security guard who took care of the gate, “Pak, take care of him! He must have served his sentence!” rangga's last sentence before he finally left Salma outside the gate himself.
Salma, Satpam, and Astro remain. Salma looked at Astro with a stunned look, while Astro looked at the woman with ogah-ogahan.
“Eh nak Astro, what's the matter here?” said the security guard was confused because Astro was still standing there.
“Hm, I want to be here! In the classroom because again remedial physics,” said Astro as relaxed as possible.
“Oh sure you are not remedial yes?” answer the security guard who looks very familiar with Astro.
Astro smiled thinly and then flirted with Salma again as if to encode something, but instead of catching what he meant, Salma smiled broadly for no reason.
Astro's facial complexion is increasingly unpleasant, making Salma more confused how to.
“Oh yes, father how? Healthy?” Astro pleasantries back, while Salma thought hard what Astro's gaze meant.
Is it possible. was he told to go to school? But in what way? There's a security guard up ahead. If he escaped, he would be chased.
But there seems to be another way..
BRUUUKKKK
The sound of people falling shocked the two men there. Especially Astro, he was very confused why suddenly Salma was lying on the ground?
“Well fainted?” Astro still neutralized his shock.
“Kok she can faint?” the security guard was also surprised, “it looks like he really is sick again.” Pak Satpam added guessing.
“Nak Astro, please take it to UKS yes,” said the security guard asked for help.
“How did you do sir? He fainted,” Astro frowned.
“Ya who said she jogged who?” the Republika High School Security joked, making Astro even more wondering.
“Yaudah Sir, I went to class yes,” said Astro did not want any business.
“Where to take it, Sir?”
“Ya carry away!” the security guard clarifies.
Astro's head shook his head raw, “Sorry sir, I can't do that!”
The security guard also refused, “terus want to be let there? I can't take it, get scolded later sir kepsek!”
“Ta-but.”
Rejection Astro has not received, “udah Astro, you are just the father told me to hold a sling, not to date!”
Feeling already unable to resist anymore, Astro exhaled weakly, his steps slowly approaching Salma who was already lying on the ground. He closed his eyes to gain the power to do things outside his safe zone. Really, in Astro's lifetime, he never touched a woman carelessly, let alone a woman like Salma.
Thinking the faster he finished, the faster this moment was completed, Astro immediately crouched down, his hands moving between the curves of the body of the salma. Honestly, Astro was very nervous, even cold sweat was coming out of his body.
After a few seconds, finally the long-awaited moment happened, Astro successfully held Salma in both hands. It's true, Salma's small body doesn't matter to Astro, but things like this feel uncomfortable for him.
“Yaudah fast, take her to UKS!” tell the Security Guard, then Astro immediately to the destination at lightning speed.
Up in the hallway where the situation was very quiet, Astro's heart was pumping faster, his hands were trembling as a result of not being able to stand this intimate situation.
But, on the sidelines of Astro strengthening himself, suddenly a small voice made Astro's eyes widen.
“Let me down."
Surprised and annoyed, without feeling tired again, Astro immediately dropped Salma just like that on the floor which was definitely very hard.
“ADUH!!! MY ASS!!!” Salma complained of the pain of wiping the area where it hit directly with the tile.
While Astro who had just thrown him staring at Salma fiery, “SO THAT WAS LO BOHONGAN DOANG?”
“Lu fell in me really origin anyway!” Salma was angry.
Astro controls his emotions, “why is that so? Caper me same?”
Feeling himself humbled, Salma stood up instantly, “didn't you just code me to enter school? Yes I pretended to faint!”
“Gue code you to run! Not to faint!”
Salma's eyes are more open, “dih, how to run, people have security guards there! If I run, I will be chased!”
“No, I am there!”
Suddenly after Astro's sentence just now, Salma fell silent. He felt a bit strange about that series of words. As well as Astro, he was surprised by his own words. It seems he said wrong.
“Oh so you've realized that you're my soul mate?” as a result of Astro's words that seemed to protect him made Salma smile to herself.
“Ngak!”
Chief Salma looks up, “terus why do you nolongin me?”
“Iseng.”
“APA!? ISENGGG???” what an illogical reason. What kind of thing does Astro mean?
Astro shrugged his shoulders, “emang so, I am a prank.”
Salma thought again, “but you lied when Rangga was called the builder!”
“No, that's real.”
The IPS woman fell silent, she tried to deepen the meaning of Astro's words. Until long ago Salma understood something, “Oh, you want to do me so I can deket same Kiki, Juju right? Yes, if you want to decetin them, just deketin, do not need to support me first! Do you want me to like you? No right?”
IPA man in front of Salma then raise an eyebrow, do not understand Salma's speech flow where, “lu talk whatsih?”
“Kan.” Salma laughs to herself, rather laughs feel sorry for yourself, “lu ngaku aja, who do you incer? Kiki or Juju? As a sign of my gratitude, I will sampein your feelings to them.”
Astro increasingly did not understand, indeed he often heard the name Kiki and Juju, but he always ignored because it was not his business.
“Astro, I know I'm ugly, I don't pantes to be their friend, even I don't pantes to like you who can be said perfect, so, so, than my feelings get bigger to you and make me hurt the same reality, please, keep me.”
"Lu's crazy, huh?" ask Astro seriously.
"Hahaha yes! I'm ugly, crazy again!" Salma laughed with satisfaction.
"Gue didn't say you were ugly."
"Continue what? A mussels? The item? The spotty? A comedo? Not groomed! Don't you say that, I'm ordinary!" Salma suddenly stopped her laughter, and over time she lowered her head with tears coming out without excuse.
"God! How come you cry!?" hearing a sobbing sound, Astro scratched his own head, puzzled over what to do. He did not understand how to deal with crying women.
"Gue knows I'm ugly, but, can you not price me a little?" Salma mengacau himself, aka raved because his life is fairly heavy.
Astro was silent for a moment, he felt a little understood the words of Salma, “gini deh, I explained to you. First, I don't know Kiki or Juju you mean. Second, I help you because I'm pure on a whim. And thirdly, I agree that you will be far away, not because you do not deserve to like me, that I sell because I am not interested in your drama. Understand?”
Seeing the look on Astro's face that did not understand at all and did not care, Salma upset himself. He immediately intended to leave the man.
However, Salma's steps stopped instantly when Astro's voice sounded again, “to UKS aja sono, your face puket.”
“Ha?”
“Nevent need to be strong, face already like an albino mouse, still want to continue exercising,” advice Astro impressed advising although insulting.
Salma was silent, sure enough, actually Salma's head was dizzy from the moment, but he held it as hard as he could.
However, agreeing with Astro was like receiving his attention, so Salma continued on.
“HEH! People if you say tuh dengerin!” Astro felt ignored.
Salma pecked while looking back, “gue does not hurt, powder me sticky,” alibi Salma.
Feeling Salma's words tickle his heart, Astro laughed cynically, “mau to the condition using cane powder?”
Suddenly hearing Astro's words impressed sarcasm, Salma approached the man again, “Lu guess school from seven to five hours did not I call it a face?”
“Lebay really! Emang if you do not use powder can not nangkep lesson that?”
Salma's soul is getting burned, “ah why? No need to be holy, where are there guys who like girls do not use make up?”
Replied so, soul arguing Astro feels hooked, “gue emang likes girls using makeup. But it depends on the circumstances of the time. To school with makeup to do? Genitin kepsek?”
“Lu fluent? How to answer mulu?” Salma was very upset, Astro did not want to lose at all.
“Gini yes, scavenger children can reach S3 with makeshift clothes. Lah elu's? Can you get what?”
“Bacot!” Salma ended the debate with a single word of annoyance. His head gets dizzy if he continues his words again.
Seeing Salma's face turning pale and his establishment was not firm, Astro locked his mouth and immediately left Salma. She thought she needed a moment of calm.
As Astro steps away, the IPA male suddenly pauses and sees the woman behind him.
“Dengerin me, you have to go to UKS now. If you don't want to, you must have fainted completely, and if you had fainted, I wouldn't be able to carry you again, heavy!”
Salma's mouth was gaping following Astro's increasingly disappearing steps from the front, his heart pounding hard hearing Astro's strange sentence earlier.
“I think I'm more sure he's my soul mate!”
