Behind the Grey Cloud

23 Accidents

I thank God for all the blessings and blessings God has given me.

Starting from health, smooth business, and friends and family who love each other.

I think my life is really very happy. I'm very very happy.

I used to get hurt when my mom left me and dad.

I used to be sad when my dad left me for a long time.

But I always remember my father's message. Every one that comes will leave. Everything that happens has to be arranged.

Therefore, after hearing the advice of my father, I always leave everything to God. I will keep trying and praying, but for the result, I leave it to the Creator.

***

This morning, as usual, I prepared spices and utensils for stalls.

I concocted the spices that will be cooked by Aunt Mita.

Today orders of rice boxes and cakes are also quite a lot.

Therefore, some employees came early in the morning to the shop.

They have prepared everything.

Our teamwork is very good. We help each other if anyone needs help.

At 06:30

I'm getting ready to go to school.

I walked towards the alley to wait for the angkot.

I walked a little hastily for fear of missing the angkot.

And it's true.

Just came out of the gate of the alley, the angkot was already running. I screamed and called him. The driver did not hear.

" Yes, it's late. If I wait for the angkot to come again, it will be crowded with passengers and school children" I muttered softly.

I also walked to the base of the motorcycle. Just a few steps, I heard someone calling me from behind. I also stopped and looked.

I was surprised at it.

A car stopped behind me.

Then the driver came down and walked towards me.

" Come with me May." said the man.

Yep. He is Zen.

Since when did he know I used to wait for angkot here, and since when did he know Aunt Mita's house.

" Come on, rather than later. Today in our first hour there is a repetition of Physics. You're not late, are you?" Zen persuaded me

I think he's right too. Today there is a physics replay and in the first hour, if I wait for the angkot, the angkot will be in 15 minutes. If I ride an ojek, to get to the base I also have to walk a bit far. I'm worried.

Suddenly she pulled my arm and led him into the car.

I am confused just according without preventing

He opened the car door and sat down. I followed him like a child according to the orders of my parents.

I was completely silent as a puppet.

After that, he sat down beside me

He looked at me confused. Then he moved his hand in front of me.

" Hello May, you're okay, right?" asked Zen while frowning.

I who had regained consciousness, lowered my head and behaved wrongly

" Ah I'm going down. Let me take the angkot." I replied to Zen.

" You want to be late for May's physics review?" tanya ensures.

I finally abandoned my intention to go down.

Zen's right. If I go downstairs, I'll be late for school.

" Yes already. leave yuk. Let's get to school soon." he said.

Throughout the journey we were silent

We are busy with our own thoughts.

Zen also chose silence.

Because he seems confused about what to ask me.

10 Minutes passed.

Until we get to school.

As soon as I got off the Zen car, all eyes looked at me.

There was a cynical look and dislike.

Someone is whispering.

I know those who don't like it are those who fans the same Zen.

Zen is now a school idol.

Besides being handsome, he was also rich.

It is only fitting that they all want to be close to Zen.

I don't know why, I'm not interested in thinking about that.

We walked along the hallway to our classroom.

Those sharp spies don't stop glancing at me rudely.

" May's? You guys together? He doesn't like Zen. But I want to too, right?" I was asked a question by Bella.

" Anga Bell, that was...."

" It's May,."

I haven't answered Bella's question yet, but she's gone to leave me alone in the confusion.

Zen reappeared.

" What's up, May? Why not go to class?" ask Zen.

Earlier while passing in front of the teacher's room, he was called by a teacher to help lift the table.

"Hallo May's.. Why the hell?" ask her repeatedly.

I'm sober.

" It's okay Zen. Yes, this is coming in." I replied as if.

***

Today, everything about repetition feels very difficult. Usually for at most 20 minutes I have finished working on it.

45 Minutes passed but it was not finished.

My mind is very confused.

I thought of Bella.

He must have been angry with me because I left with Zen.

I should have just turned down Zen's offer to go to school together.

" Oh my God, what should I do?" ask me in my heart.

______________________

School hours are over.

I want to see Bella soon.

I want to explain to her.

But when I entered the classroom, I did not meet the person I was looking for.

I scrunched my forehead confused.

Where's Bella?

I asked one of Bella's friends. She said Bella's permission not to go to school today.

I also took the phone that was in the bag.

I'll call her no. But not active.

I called her mom but she said Bella hasn't come home yet.

'Oh my God, Bell, where are you?'

I also decided to go straight to the store.

I'm sure Bella's there.

Before I got to the front of the gate, Zen held my arm and pulled her slowly.

" Let me drive back May. You're not healthy anymore."

" Not to." I threw my hands rough.

Seeing Zen I felt really upset.

Because of her Bella so go and get angry at me.

I ran without a purpose.

Daan suddenly... My view is dark.

****

I'm sober.

I think this body hurts all. My head is heavy too.

I also opened my eyes slowly.

I saw Zen beside me. She's asleep. He also wears his school uniform.

I spread my eyes around.

All are white. This must be a hospital.

I try to remember what happened.

And Yes.

Just as I was running, there was a motorbike running quite fast from behind me. And after that I don't remember anything anymore.

I move my hand. Then Zen awoke.

Apparently my hand has been in his hand since. So when I pulled my hand, she woke up from her sleep.

" You're aware of May?" ask her while smiling.

I just nodded slowly to answer her question.

" Want a drink? Or are you hungry?" zen asked attentively.

I shook weakly.

" I why?" many finally.

" So while you were running, there was a motor behind you that was speeding quite fast Mau, and you finally clashed. The doctor said you were in shock. There is a slight wound on your forehead as a result of that impact. And for everything else it's safe." Zen explained to me.

" Have you contacted Auntie Mita?" ask me again.

" It's. But he said he was still completing the order that had been received. So he asked me to keep you here." He answered with a sweet smile. Very sweet.

" Bella's. Where is Bella?" ask me.

He just puts his shoulders together which means he doesn't know.

" Bella is angry with me" I told Zen

" Why?" tanyakanya.

" Because of you." I replied jutek. I hate him back. He has been waiting for me here since. He hasn't even come home yet.

It's very selfish indeed.

But I don't want to lose my best friend again.

" Alright, if I exist just to ruin your friendship, I'll go."

she got out of her seat, picked up her bag and walked out of the room.

I also cry sad.

Actually I'm starting to have a Zen taste. But I don't want to hurt Bella.

' I'm sorry I'm Zen.' I said softly

Shortly after Zen left, the door to my room opened. I who had just cried chose to close my eyes pretending to be asleep.

The man closed the door slowly.

I dare not open my eyes. But I also wonder who the hell entered my room.

I felt a soft caress gently rubbing my hair. Then he kissed my forehead.

" Thank God you're okay, May. If you're why should I say what to your mother?"

It was the voice of Aunt Mita.

He came to pick me up.

I want to open my eyes and hug her. But I'm afraid she'll find out I just cried.

But the restlessness in my heart is very strong.

I opened my eyes and hugged him tightly. I sobbed in his arms.

" You're aware of May? Is anyone sick?" aunt Mita asked after I let go of my embrace.

I shook my head slowly.

" Why are you crying, baby?" ask her again.

" Crita dong with Aunt."

" Aunty, Auntie never fell in love?" ask me at that time. I finally started pouring out my heart to Auntie.

" mmmhhh, never." replied Aunt Mita briefly but accompanied by a meaningful smile

I was also wrong with his behavior. I'm shy.

" Are you in love?" ask Aunt Mita.

" same Zen?" reimbursed again

Hearing his name my heart trembled. There's a strange taste in it. Tapii..

After smiling, I put on a sour face.

" Lhoh? in love, is her face sad?" ask Aunt Mita.

" Tan, I want a story. But Auntie promised not to tell anyone." I asked Aunt Mita.

" Yes Aunty promise." replied Aunt Mita while fixing her sitting position.

" If you have to choose between love and friends. Where do you choose Auntie?" ask me pepper Aunt Mita.

Aunty widened her eyes of confusion.

He was silent, looking as if he was fondling what answer would be given to me.

" Love comes and goes as she pleases. If you are a friend, he will always be there for you. That friend is true love. He is the love that never goes away. A sincere love that comes from the heart."

Aunt Mita's advice made me calmer.

Yeah, I didn't choose wrong. I prefer my best friend over my love that comes a while. I prefer my best friend who has been with me for years.

' Friend forgive me' I murmured in my heart
