5.3 [May] Foreign Number

Today we were able to meet and talk to each other like before. Because we happen to have the same schedule. Rhea and I have been in the cafeteria since, waiting for Lyra who seems to have not left class.

"May, I'm looking around for more and more Zayn. He has a crush on you like that."

Hearing Rhea's words, I thought. Zayn likes me. But it feels impossible. "Where it is, he's the same I'm just a band member." My sangkal.

"But look, May. From yesterday try to take the road. What if you don't have a crush?" Rhea still insisted on her opinion.

"You're so fucking know."

"Who knows?" Lyra who just came directly into the chat, but she did not know what we were discussing.

"That's Rhea pretentious to know." My voice pointed at Rhea with the pen I was holding.

"Gue's just thinking, not pretentious." Denying Rhea won't lose to my words.

"Udah, even a storm. You guys are a habit, a trivial problem made noisily."

As usual, Lyra mediated us. Before we argue any longer.

It wasn't until five minutes, me and Rhea were back as usual. It is like that we are, sometimes noisy but in a quick time it has gotten back together. We chatted casually discussing many things, from important things to random things.

As we were chatting, a stranger came walking towards our seats. Turns out Zayn, but wait who's walking behind him? Isn't that Brother Eza, what he's here for.

I know, he's one of the assistant lecturers at this college, but why is he with Zayn. I still wonder how they know each other. But the words of Sister Eza spread my daydream.

"Why is his face so shocked?"

"So, brother, I thought first. I know you're here asdos. But I'm confused, where do you know Zayn from?" It was Rhea who spoke, voicing her astonishment.

"And he's my student, Rhea. I obviously know him." Obviously Sister Eza spoke formally answering Rhea's question.

"Ah yes, I'm here to talk to Mei. May I join you for a moment." Brother Eza asked us for permission. But I have not had time or Rhea to answer the question of Sister Eza, Lyra first spoke.

"Please go ahead, I'll go first. I still have a job to do."

I just nodded in agreement, even though I knew it was just an excuse. I don't know why Lyra seems to be avoiding her sister. And Brother Eza did not greet his sister when he just arrived. Though usually he will certainly offer Lyra to buy a snack.

"Gue can still be here or have to move?" Rhea asked after Lyra left the canteen.

"This is okay, besides this will also be your business." Sister Eza has already spoken informally again with Rhea.

I saw Rhea just staring at Sister Eza not like it. Tumben once he did not argue and just kept quiet according to. But it's better like this.

"Next week please clear the schedule. Because I want to, you guys are performing at the Opening of Rumah Baca." Obviously Brother Eza told us.

"The song is free, isn't it, brother?"

"The song is free, it's up to you. The important thing is that your show can perform and be good." Sahut Kak Eza, free us to choose our own songs.

After everything was fixed and clear, Sister Eza invited us or rather me and Zayn to start training. Because he wants to see how we train.

The training had been going on for half an hour but Zayn was still reluctant to let us rest. I'm very thirsty now and need to drink.

"Had trained first, I need a drink." One of the band members voiced my desire to rest.

"Okay, take a break. After that we play one more song." Zayn said, automatically we have to obey him.

After fifteen minutes of rest, Zayn asked us to return to our respective positions. The rehearsal started again and it was not just one song, we were too excited to finish two songs.

"From today onwards to the opening day of the house of reading, we practice every day." Zayn told us about our training schedule.

"Ready, make the song no extra right? I want vocal practice at home too."

Zayn nodded at my question. "The song is as it was, but if you want to add a song you can." Added.

After I finished cleaning the music room, I rushed to get off. Because Kara's already picked me up.

"Kok lo bur-hurry anyway, Mei." Zayn protested so he could line my fingers.

I just smiled faintly in response to Zayn's remark.  Because I have to rush to the front of the building.

"Gue picked up by Kara, he's on his way. Next time I'll be with you."

Shortly after, Kara's car arrived and stopped in front of me. I feel like an important person, because every time I pick me up, Kara will always park wherever she likes.

"I'm first Zayn. I'll see you tomorrow." Pamitku before getting in Kara's car.

Turns out Rhea didn't come to pick me up, only Kara herself picked me up. To be honest, being together with Kara like this feels a little awkward.

Along the way we just kept quiet, which sounded only the sound of the singer from MP3 played by Kara.

"Practice for May?" Kara tries to thaw the susana by starting the conversation.

"Yes, that was Brother Eza who told you." My heart is more relaxed, because little by little the awkwardness is reduced.

Kara and I can have a casual chat and enjoy the song that has been playing since. Honestly, if there is no song playing, maybe the atmosphere in the car will be very quiet.

While enjoying the song, my phone rang Rhea called.

"What's Rhea?"

"It's okay, just ask me."

"Here we go home again. You want something to tell Kara, don't you?"

"Nitip pesen, rumahnyan don't go last night. Waiting for Mama."

"Yes, I'll send the message to Kara."

After all the messages were delivered, Rhea immediately hung up the phone unilaterally. But even so, all the messages that Rhea said had been delivered well, because when talking on the phone earlier, I intentionally menloudspeakernya.

"Thank you, Kara. Sorry to bother you. Be careful on the road, send greetings to mami with Rhea." I said after getting out of the car.

...imessage...

...07.43 PM...

Oh so that's your house, you,

Next time, I'll go home. Uh not next time but tomorrow.

I suddenly get a chat from a foreign number. But I think I recognize the owner of this number.

He deliberately followed us to find out my house. Because when he asked, I didn't answer. It's nothing, it's just that I don't want strangers to know where my house is.

I deliberately did not reply to the message and let it be read only. Because I wonder what his purpose is to do that. Whether it is in accordance with my guess or not. I'll wait to see if he sends a follow-up message after this.
