Azaleas

Mosaic 12: Meet the Sky

‘Be excessive because worrying about someone is a natural thing is not it?’

More than a word of relief, Azalea walked merrily along the school corridor until someone surprised her. Shocked to death, Azalea exclaimed and immediately held onto her heart. In his attempt to normalize his heartbeat he turned to Ashita, the culprit.

“You look happy.” Kept Ashita.

“Sister Shita!” exclaim Azalea happy. “This is surprising, why is sister here? Is Kak Shita okay?”

“Hm as you can see. I'm here as a nursing assistant at UKS and one of the teachers at STUPA.” It definitely made Azalea even more happy.

“Really, that means I'll meet you.” Relieved Azalea, she had friends and nothing to fear for Niska.

“I know, I've read the list of new members, you need to get ready. You'll be inducted along with the first-graders.” He was possessed by the spirit of Azalea. “It looks like you're ready.”

“Of course.” Basically sure.

After that they talked all the way to class. Ashita deliberately drove Azalea to class 2-1 before going to the UKS. He will start his part-time job there.

While all the students already had many friends on MOPD day, Azalea was still alone. His status as the grandson of the school owner is clearly known to many people, not many who approach him, after all this is his choice. Azalea kept her distance with all the students. The reason, because he was afraid if they approached him just for the sake of looking good, or worse for money.

At break time. Azalea chose to eat bread alone on a park bench, due to a ban on eating in class. Suddenly Ashita came and took the bread that he almost bit, Azalea did not dare to protest, even to rebuke it he did not do. Despite her status as a potential school owner, Ashita remains a senior who must be respected.

“Why are you eating alone?” ashita asked after finishing the bread of Azalea, who had just looked at her in shock.

Azalea doubted Ashita did not know about her, and she chose not to answer. A few seconds into the excitement Azalea felt, Ashita took the initiative to answer her own question.

“You don't want them to approach you because of your status and wealth, you know, you're ridiculous. Then how do you have friends, and allow yourself to get close to your heart.”

“Kakak doesn't know anything,” muttered Azalea threw her face in any direction, the statement offended her.

“I want to be your dinnermate, provided you provide one bread and drink for me.” Tawar Ashita's. Azalea hissed in disbelief.

“You tried to bully me?”

“How dare I do it, what do I look like a bully? If you don't want no problem, you just have to reject it.” As she spoke, Ashita took Azalea's drink and sipped it casually.

For some reason, Azalea even smiled a little.

From then on they were quite close, right after Azalea and Niska's relationship was strained. But it did not continue for long, because Ashita graduated from school when Azalea rose to the 2nd grade.

Being in the car, Novan and Azalea were sitting together. While Aul waits outside letting the two talk freely.

“You look fine, thank goodness.” Novan Smile. Azalea pouted.

“That's all? Wow as a fiancee you are so cold!” ledek Azalea's.

“I'm worried, but I hear you solved the problem well. It's the first time you've knelt, baby I didn't see it straight away.” Canda Novan, Azalea also smiled, it was also the first time Grandfather revoked the decision.

“Then what idea did you want to tell me back then?” tanya Novan clearly asked the incident that coincided with the announcement of the engagement.

“Ide to make silliness and small rebellion. Sure to cancel engagement.” Azalea said it was weakened, because it was in vain even though it had not started once.

“I don't think you can, this decision is too big, grandpa won't pull it back. I can only take advantage of the situation.” Azalea recalled the words of Novan at that time, trying to draw a positive conclusion from the circumstances he received.“I can date you guys, isn't that fun.” Honestly Azalea, his youth has not completely faded.

He has never dated and now has 5 fiancees, let's just say this is the experience for the wedding later. After all, when married, can't she have 5 husbands? Just thinking about it made him shudder in horror.

“You must be thinking!” guess Novan.

“Kok know?” shocked Azalea. Novan patted his head slowly.

“Because I'm your friend.” That is the truth, Novan is the closest friend and understands himself. Azalea nodded in agreement, along with Novan's phone which rang briefly. “Message from Uzi, I have to come to the hospital at five.” Obviously Novan made Azalea sad because he could not see Robby, realizing that his expression was Azalea. “Other times I'll take you!” concluded Novan is not just entertainment or mere talk. Azalea nodded again, if Novan promised then the man would obey her.

“Ah this makes me remember Novel.” Nova's sigh, “She hasn't wanted to see Robby, and lately it's been very upsetting. Almost every time he denied me!” kesah Novan did not stop thinking, Azalea also concerned. The relationship between the two is difficult.

“He will change, asap.” Entertain Azalea though sounded bitter, because she could not promise that, but Novan responded well and thanked her.

“I heard you're in STUPA. Just now I saw Brother Ashita, he is also a STUPA member right, his ex Regi is not. I know he graduated, why is he in school?” ask Novan.

“She said she would be a UKS nursing assistant and ..” suddenly Azalea remembered Niska. Ah right, Brother Shita is a former Regi and this is an emergency. Azalea already knew everything, she was just acting ordinary and trying to keep her distance from Niska who always wanted to stay away from her.

“Novan, I have to go!” pamit Azalea rushed over and rushed out, running back inside the school building. Novan watched and guessed what Azalea would do.

“She is overrated.” He murmured, guessing the Azalean way of thought.

Not half-run anymore, but the legs ran fast enough that others could have guessed him as a running athlete, but unfortunately that's not true, he's just Azalea, the school princess who was very restrained by her grandfather, was required to be feminine and of course the profession as an athlete must be impossible. Grandfather would instantly remove his name from the family lineage or worse lock him up for months.

The silly thought disappeared when Azalea did not find the person she was looking for in the classroom, the main locker, the library and other school curves. Looking pale and trembling, Azalea tried to make sure of one spot and started climbing the stairs towards the school roof. This was the first time he went to the roof, not because he had acrophobia, where he was afraid of heights, but because he was afraid of the sky. Something strange but real, who would try to be afraid of the sky that was always on top of human heads, if there was then that person would continue to be cooped up in his fear.

But Azalea was indeed a slight phobia to the sky, if she climbed onto the roof, she could feel the sudden distance of the sky so close but realized she could not touch it. That reason was quite heartbreaking for him, he was only envious of the beautiful sky, which was untouched and stood perfectly up to him who was just trying to avoid the sky.

Doubtful. The hand was still holding on to the handle of the roof door, convincing him that he was not currently fighting the sky, but finding someone who was making him anxious. The iron door was thick enough to finally open displaying the figure of Azalea who looked shocked, her eyes bulged and her legs suddenly limp.

Right in the bead of his eyes he saw Niska standing on the edge of the roof bowing her head. Without any hesitation, though his body stiffened, Azalea ran over and pulled Niska's hand. Making Niska's body shocked and fell on the roof floor with a natural paving block, found Azalea who fell beside her. Azalea immediately squatted down and noticed Niska between worry and anger.

“Are you crazy! Sure enough, what your brain is made of, just because the ex came you want to kill yourself!” azalea's jolt stood up as Niska once bounced back from the fall and distanced herself from Azalea a few centi.

“You are crazy! My body could get hurt!” solot Niska tidied up her dirty clothes due to friction that occurred on the cement floor. And I can be sure there were blisters on his hands.

“What is important! You can even make your head hurt!” maki Azalea couldn't stand it, at a time like this should Niska be so cold and blame her. Azalea saved his life.

“You think what I'm going to do!”

“Listen!” seriously Azalea tried hard to make her voice look authoritative, reassuring and encouraging. “Whatever your love for Regi, do not close your eyes and let everything flow as it should, you cannot change the past. You just need to convince yourself of your feelings and make Regi look at you in this moment, so you still have something to do in the future. So don't think you've lost and ended it!” relieved, Azalea was able to speak her thoughts without fear of Niska's sharp gaze. The girl in front of him was crossing both hands.

“You're done with his speech?” ledek Niska, Azalea was silent. Why not a jolt again, or a solot speech if he is ignorant and likes to interfere, or worse smartass. Feeling weak Azalea nodded slowly. “I'd rather hang myself than fall off the sixth floor and break my head!” he continued cynically and passed through Azalea, stopping just behind Azalea, smiling very little considering the silliness Azalea had done by suspecting she would commit suicide.

More than a shock at the remark, Azalea realized she had misunderstood.

“Aaah!” the rampage in the murmur, the shuffling of his front hair was frustrating, it was embarrassing, he thought. He should have known that Niska was a strong girl and it was impossible to kill herself just because the ex of the man he liked came.

But, wait a moment, Azalea was sure that Niska's sad gaze as she lowered her head down seemed to imply despair.

“You, had time to think to jump?” azalea asked, Niska who was surprised jolted turned towards her.
