Behind the Grey Cloud

06 Traveling Friends

Having a family is a priceless happiness.

Because that family would never be able to exchange for anything.

As of now, I have a family. I have Ms. Yasmin who is now my mother.

Ms. Yasmin was not the mother who gave birth to me. But her affection wrote to me. He was so loving and attentive to me.

Every time I went to my old house and to my father's grave, Ms. Yasmin always accompanied me.

I'm so happy now. I no longer live alone. I have a family again.

"Let's go, baby, we're going together. "

Every morning we go to school together. Our school road is in line. Later we will split up in a front fork.

I'm so happy now. I stepped my feet lightly. Cheerily. With the happiness I have.

On arrival in front of the school gate, Bella was waiting for me. As usual, he came first because he went to school with his car and personal driver.

Unlike me who just walk to get to school.

"Hay. a long time anyway. I've been waiting since." scolded when I just arrived.

"Yes, I'm walking. That's old. It's not rich that you ride in the car." I replied in self-defense.

" Yeahaaaaa. yuk ah come in. Somebody wants me to talk about it."

"What?" I asked while frowning in confusion

"There is.." she answered lazily.

"What the hell is Bel, why are you so cute. What's the matter anyway?"I am confused about this friend of mine.

On the way to class, we were silent. Bella looks lazy and reluctant to enter the class. I was afraid to ask further. That's why I chose silence.

He threw his bag at the bench violently. He's never been like this.

What the hell is it?

"What the hell is Bell? You why?" the me who was starting to get curious could no longer hold it.

"pukhhh...." He let out a rough breath.

"Tales dong same me. You why? Is there a problem?" talk to me with a variety of questions.

I was confused by his strange attitude. I feel guilty about it.

" I'm moving May.. My papa was transferred to Bandung and I had to go. I wanted to stay here, but both of my parents refused. They can't have me here alone. Though I always told her about you who could and dared to stay alone." she answered my question while holding back a cry.

I know it's hard for him.

"Bel, you're lucky you still have complete parents. They are still there and love you very much. So you have to know what they say. You can't make them sad. Don't be like me, who has no one else." I'm sad now.

"May, I'm sorry. I made you sad. Sorry.." he seems guilty.

" It's okay, Bel. You're not wrong. I'm actually sad that you moved. Because the only friend I have is you. Only you will accept me with all my shortcomings. You're the only one who's so considerate of me Bel. But if it's for your parents' sake, then as children we have to be sincere." I explained to Bella.

" Yes May, you're right. I was wrong to be angry with my parents. I feel so guilty about them."

I hugged Bella too.

The best friend I have will be leaving soon too.

"May, I hope we can meet again and you'll still be my May. I love you May."
