Between Me, You And Them

DAY 3'S

NANDA

Well, today there is a little progress. At least he wants to walk with me, even if only from the cafeteria to the classroom.

Even though yesterday I haven't managed to bring her home together, but it's good enough. Next time I try again.

I chuckled to myself as I recalled her expression when she came home from school yesterday. She panicked when I wanted to go to her mom who was in the car.

Though I said I just want to say hello, he was scared and panicked half to death. And ran straight into the car and left.

Before leaving, but he pinched my shoulder because he was sick of seeing me judging him.

I parked my bike in the parking lot next to the school. Remove the helmet and get off the bike immediately.

I saw my watch, God, hold the fence closed.

I ran a little run to the school gate. Your Tumben Nanda came down pretty late today. Not usually rich.

I don't know I woke up too slow. Until mom had to yell at me so many times I just woke up. I usually wake up by myself.

I saw Mr. Teguh, our school security guard, ready to close the gate.

Pak firmly is famous for discipline and strict about school entrance hours. Not for a second did he close the school gates. And I won't open it for any reason. What else if the ceremony hours.

She and Ibu Sulis are a death duet at this school. If Mr. Teguh his duty is to close the fence, Mr. Sulis his duty to record the children who are late and

determine what punishment we will receive.

I walked leisurely as I entered the school gate. Until my eyes were distracted by something.

Uh that's Elsi.

He just got down from ojol and walked in a hurry. Until his feet stepped on his loose shoelaces.

Of course he fell, and took off his entire body and bag to the ground.

I'm surprised I'm not playing.

My steps that had entered the school area, I paused and I immediately followed where Elsi fell.

"Els! No papa?" Ask me to panic.

He got up and was surprised to see me. I helped her stand up and pick up her falling goods.

"Big bang, not in yet?" ask her between the sidelines we pick up her book which is scattered.

"So wanted to go in but saw El fall. Obviously, you're straight here."

His face is down. I know she must be embarrassed when she finds out someone saw her fall by herself.

"Yuk. Put the fence on the same lid Mr. Teguh." I said while trying to bring her stuff.

"Attent." He bowed his body and tied the shoelaces that caused him to fall earlier.

It turned out that from a distance there was a car driving. I don't know why my instincts aren't good.

I saw a puddle of water that was right in front of Elsi who was again tying her shoes.

When I saw that there was no sign that the car would reduce its speed, spontaneously I stood in front of Elsi.

THE CPRAATTTTT!!!

Elsi screamed when all that happened.

My hair was wet with water. Wet to dry from the end of my hair.

Not only my hair, clothes and pants were all covered in mud water.

I don't know Elsi's expression anymore seeing me soaked. Seeing my white uniform turn black and dirty.

I looked towards the gate, My God, it was closed. I don't mind my wet condition.

Elsi realized the direction of my gaze, she shouted again.

"Gosh we're late bang!" He said as he ran towards the gate. I ran to hold him. I'm shaking.

"Ke, why?" Ask him confused.

"Oh yes! Brother's clothes!" Screech it again.

"Not that!"

I pulled her hand away from the school gate and walked to the side of the school.

"Don't go in through there." My word.

"So where's it going?" She shut her mouth again looking at the state of my uniform that resembled a tadpole at times.

"There's a secret entrance behind the school. But it must be fast because ordinary Mr. Teguh patrols up there." I explained while pulling his hand again.

So that he was confused to see no door at all, there was only a high wall.

"Can you hold it for a second?" I said while shoving all my bags and bags that I brought from earlier.

He nodded and grabbed it from my hand. I walked towards the bush near the wall.

My hand grabbed something behind the bush. Uh! meet up!

I lifted the ladder and leaned it against the wall. This is the way for children if it is too late. Fair and others. Most often it was Jono.

"Let's go up first." I said while taking over the bag in Elsi's hand.

"Entar's the big brother's carrying the bag." Obviously me again. He nodded at hearing me.

Elsi followed me without asking. Until he was on top I heard a voice I was very familiar with. Mr. Teguh's voice was looking towards us from a distance.

"Bang!" he panicked and stopped his steps.

"El hunt up and down. There's a chair right down there!" I said panic too.

I'm afraid that Mr. Teguh will catch us.

"How much brother?!"

"There's no time! The bag's gonna throw brother!"

I threw her bag when she got on.

"Hunting down will be discovered!" Be firm again. He immediately hid behind the wall.

I saw Mr. steadfast coming closer with his flagship baton. To bully a late kid like us.

I made sure Elsi was invisible again.

But once I got up and saw me in a dirty mess not because, he was confused.

"Loh Nan? You apparently."

"Hehehe yes sir..." I said wrong behavior.

"Could Nan be late? Usual not like this?"

"Yes, I'm sorry I was so bad."

"What is that?" He said while pointing to my shabby uniform.

"Oh this, it was splashed in the street sir."

Mr. Teguh shook his head to hear my explanation.

The important thing is that Elsi has made it in, my inner self.

******

"Buset Nan!" Pekik Septyan saw me enter the class with a depleted look like a fall.

Yes it is like a fall, feel in the 1 bucket of water got.

I sat down in my chair and one class looked at me all.

"Lo tape?" Jono said as he sat near me.

"Fecause of the puddles on the side of the road." Answer me briefly.

In the morning, I was tired.

What's more this afternoon after school I got a sentence to clean the whole toilet.

And damn it again when for the first time I was late, no 1 person was late too.

Which means I have to do the punishment alone.

"Keep you told me what? At least clean...."

"Toilet...." Break up for a moment. Jono, who was the defending champion late in today, did not get the punishment.

"No need to clean up, Mrs Sulis is not cheating either." Answer the cuek.

"What is rich elo?" I reply cynically.

"But if you want to count, the richness of this school OB eating blind salary, because it is usual almost every day elo that clean Jon." Ejek Septyan's.

"But tumben ni elo is not too late..."

"Yes, Nanda hahaha..." Jono passed by while laughing at me. I just shook my head.

Again exhausted my energy to serve him.

"Sep, take a break I tipped pop noodles aja ya bring to class. I'm going to the cafeteria with dirty clothes like this."

Septyan cut his thumb.

"Entar I told Jono nganter."

******

"Nan is looking for." Ula yelled at me from the front door in between my noodle pop.

I turned my face towards her, hinting her to just get that person in.

I bribed again when the man came to me.

"Dude..."

"Eh Elsi, who do you think." I was surprised to see her coming. I swear I never thought he would come to me.

"Sit down first, sorry brother while eating ya."

He sat next to me.

"Well eat?" ask me again. Cause the break hasn't been long but he's here, like he hasn't eaten.

"anytime soon. Brother's not kantin because of brother's clothes huh?" His face was full of concern. He can guess me.

"Grandfather, wait another hour home. Just relax."

"Later Elsi laundry is my brother's shirt."

"Well? Can be washed at El's..."

"It should be Elsi who got splashed, it should also be El who is late." He said full of regrets.

"I'm sorry bang..."

"Udah ah relax. What matters is that El doesn't have a law."

"Brother's not in the law?" Ask her curiously.

"Ep.... No."

"Well, how can you?"

"Remember the exemplary student. Make a mistake once, don't you."

It's obvious I lied.

I just don't want him to feel more guilty. Feeling guilty is not good.

"Sound bang..." He said while shoving the white package that had been in his hand.

"What's this?" Tanya I called her.

"So El order food online for brother."

I opened the package, Rice bowl with a glass of contemporary coffee. I'm appalled.

"Thank you, El..."

"But the rich El was late, brother had eaten." Answer is sad. I laugh.

"Loh no papa, this noodle pop is only at the end of the stomach. It's still laper again. This is why I ate this right away."

"There's so much El so bother you." Continue me again.

I'm glad to have noticed it like this. Yes, even though I know it's just because he feels guilty.

"Don't bother bang. El feels bad about her making brother get in trouble..."

Actually, he feels guilty.

"Papa is not papa. What if we eat the same rice?" Bargain me while getting rid of the pop glasses of noodles that I have finished eating.

"Don't! That's for my brother, El there buy kok bang. It's in class."

"Why not bring it here? Can we eat together?"

She shook her head.

"No... El's embarrassed."

"I'm ashamed, why be ashamed..."

"The Elves came to class, yes, Brother ate yes. Again El apologise bang." He said while standing.

"Eh uh where you're going, don't hunt."

"Sir papa, let brother focus more on his meal. El also went back to class so he could eat."

"Loh brother focus even if there's El." I said half tease her.

"Iss brother... Yes, El was happy, bang. Thanks so much for helping El today." He walked away from my desk.

"Intermediate flights?"

"Don't, please continue eating. Bye." He turned his body and walked out of the class.

I can only smile at his behavior. Let my body get mud, let my body get wet, the important thing is that I can do this with him.
