Episode 2



At half-five in the afternoon, Kanaya was still standing on the balcony


the second floor is waiting for rain to fall. Since the school bell rang, one by


one student of Pangudi Luhur High School started leaving the school. But not with


Kanaya, because today she forgot to leave her umbrella at home. Unusually


the girl left the umbrella during the rainy season like this.


Since her friends left class, Kanaya


choose to wait for the rain to subside while reading the author's latest novel


his favorite. But until now, the rain outside has not subsided.


Kanaya decided to go downstairs, perhaps


there was something that could protect his body from the rain to get to the stop


school. But by the time the girl reached the first floor, the state of the school was already


deserted. There were only school guards who started to lock the doors of the classroom. Gurus


he also left school in his private vehicle.


The long haired girl walked to the end


first floor hallway to be closer to the gate. His eyes look at


upon. Dark skies with raindrops that still continue to wet the earth.


Even though it is only 10 meters from where it stands


to get to the school gate, but if the rain drops are still as hard


here, his clothes will definitely get wet. Especially now that he was wearing a sergam of osis.


“Pak Atmo, can I borrow an umbrella?” Kanaya asked


to the school guard who was locking the door to a nearby classroom.


“Waduh, sorry mbak, not that I don't want to lend,


but my umbrella was borrowed with Mbak Devi first e,” replied Mr. Atmo.


“Owalah, yes already, sir. It's okay, maturnuwun.”


“White, Mbak. Implore


sorry, yes.”


Kanaya nodded while nodding. The girl took off


his shoes then took out a plastic bag from inside his bag to store


his shoes. Now the girl is perfectly barefoot. Kanaya is determined to


rainfalls.


Kanaya was ready with her backpack that she put down


above the head as a protector from rainwater. But at the feet of the girl


about to step, suddenly a hand managed to pull his arm, making


he's surprised.


A man in a high school uniform is standing right there


ahead of him.


“You want to rain hares rich gini?” ask the man.


Kanaya looked at him unmoved. From the bagde name


his name was Abhimanyu.


“You have valuable assets, do not be easily sold cheap


by letting it all exposed because your uniform is wet.”


Gluey!


Kanaya swallows the salivary, then goes on a munudr, then,


keep her away from that man.


“You choose a jacket or umbrella?” Abhimanyu asked.


“Hah?” Kanaya's confused.


“Mending umbrella, please. It's the same if I pinjemin


the jacket will also be wet.” The man in front of him immediately opened


backpack, then take out a blue folding umbrella. “Do not arrive


lost, yes,” he continued.


Kanaya still did not understand with this man's attitude, she


just silence says nothing.


“Now you can go home with that umbrella, don't


until it gets soaked, yes!”


“O-oh, yes, thank you very much.”


“Tomorrow again do not forget to bring sandals too,” said Abhimanyu


while glancing at Kanaya's bare feet barefoot.


Kanaya bit the bottom of her lips. “You're in class


howmany? Let me easily return her umbrella.”


Ck


“We are one generation, Nay. XI IPS 3, keep in mind, yes!”


Abhimanyu then stepped away leaving Kanaya who still looked confused.


What the man said was true, actually,


and that also made Kanaya endure to wait for the rain to subside


his uniform is not wet. But what makes Kanaya confused and surprised is


how could the man suddenly appear before him, and confess


as his classmate.


Kanaya is not a very popular girl in school


although he is active in various activities, it is also not too easy to get along


with men. So, she did not understand much about male friends other than


a classmate, or an organization friend.


The man's back


disappeared at the turn of the first floor hallway. Kanaya immediately opened the umbrella in


his hands and rushed out of the school towards the stop to wait for the transport


number 9 is heading to his house.
