Chapter 31 ~Finish~
“To finish work and go to bed early is one of the world's favors.”
- Mayn urr izqi
Conducive and calm. That's how they work on mading. Every now and then Lia throws jokes, just melts the silence. However, it soon returned preoccupied by the task, making the atmosphere conducive again.
The mouth is mute, while the hands move, scissor, write, and stick. Within a few hours, the white styrofoam had been clad in various papers, origami, and notes.
It looks crowded in Yogi's eyes, but it also looks good. Rizki also did not comment on the mading. Renata just smiled, normal. The only person who gave a different impression was only Lia.
The girl's eyes sparkled, emitting rays. The girl's mouth was smiling, wide. It tells Yogi that the girl is satisfied and with the results of such simple work.
If he took the outline, then he concluded that his three colleagues were happy for completing the job. But not for him.
Not because of the results that were beyond expectations, but because he did not get the opportunity to talk to Renata, during the work. During the mading, Renata was on the bed, copying notes, while he and the others were sitting on the floor. Renata can't leave the bed. Although it could be, the girl will have difficulty getting up and walking later.
Yogis can only steal glances, during the course of work. Every now and then Rizki reminds her hand to move and she doesn't like that. However, he understands that Rizki just wants to finish it as soon as possible.
Then there's Lia. The girl gets the task of folding origami. Thanks to that, Lia became calmer. However, occasionally the girl made a mess using a joke. But no one complained.
“It's good. I'm sure we got the perfect score!” Lia brandished the styrofoam to the ceiling. The girl turned around, streaming the memory of an Indian film. However, he had no interest in joining the girl.
“Can you stop spinning like that?” Rizki throws questions,”you make me dizzy.”
“That's because you followed his movements,” Yogi said as he grabbed Rizki's face that was twirling after Lia.
“Lia, I think we will only get a score of 80 and above,” said Renata, resulting in Lia's rotation stopped.
“True and 100 are above 80! We'll get it!” lia replied as she turned around again and Rizki's eyes followed the girl's movements back.
“Well, I hope we get the perfect score. I can show it off to my sister,” Yogi said as he stopped Rizki's head following Lia.
“Yeah, you're right. It would be nice if we get perfect score,” reply Renata.
“By the way what time is it now?” Lia stopped turning around to throw the question.
Everyone's attention moved, staring at the wall clock hanging on one side of the wall. The long needle points to the number five, while the short needle is between the numbers five and six.
“It's this late?” renata Mumbles.
“If you look out, you'll notice it,” Rizki added.
Everyone's attention shifted, staring out the window. No longer visible white sky, which appears there is a sky that melts, bathed in a red tinge from the west side. Birds were replaced by winged mammals. Street lights started to light up the darkness. The sound of the vehicle motor is reduced, indicating that the highway is no longer crowded.
“I think we should go home,” muttered Yogi.
“Go back?” Lia jumped in front of the window, turned around and tilted her face at him. “Es cream!” shouted the girl with an annoyed face and bloated cheeks.
“Ah ...,” Yogi almost forgot about it, “tak.”
“Hehehe ..., ice cream! Ice cream!” Lia hummed, as she approached the study table and put the work on the table.
“Rizki,” Yogi name his partner, “you want to come with us?”
“No. I want to go home and read a book, then sleep,” replied Rizki as she waved at him.
“You sure?”
“Yap, I'm sure.”
“How about Rena?” Lia throws questions.
When Lia said that, Yogi thought that it would be a great opportunity to chat with Renata. Maybe he can take Renata's heart. However, the thought vanished when he saw the basin that was inundated with water.
Ice cubes melted, replaced by a clear liquid that soaked Renata's feet. With such conditions, there was no way Renata could follow him. It seems he's not lucky.
“Do not be stupid! Renata is still recovering. We better let him rest first,” Yogi answered Lia's question, even before Renata had a word to say.
“He's right. If Renata forced himself to come along, perhaps his injuries would be more severe,” Rizki added.
“Eeeh ..., whereas I want to eat ice cream with Rena.” Lia's cheeks bulging.
“Sorry, Lia. You can take my share,” said Renata.
“Eh? Really?”
“Horee! Thank you, Rena!” Lia jumped onto the bed, hugging Renata.
Yogi smiled when he saw the simple scene. The two girls are really familiar, just like her and Rizki.
Unknowingly, his attention shifted to Rizki. The man replied with cold eyes, then said, “Don't expect me to hug you like that!”
“Indeed I said that?”
“Your eyes said it.”
“Oh, stupid time with that,” Yogi turned, staring at the other side of the room.
“Alright, our task here is done. Come on, buy ice cream!” Lia jumped off the bed, pointing out the window.
“Take your bag first!” yogi said while stroking Lia's hair, while Rizki said nothing, but immediately carried a backpack.
“Sorry, for not being able to drive you,” Renata forces lips to smile.
“Don't worry about us! You better rest now. Hopefully you can get back to activity tomorrow,” said Yogi.
“Thank you for taking care of me earlier,” Renata replied.
“Do not think!”
“Rena, until tomorrow!” Lia waved, then preceded.
“See you tomorrow,” followed by Rizki.
For a few seconds, Yogi and Renata exchanged glances. However, both of them immediately turned away. Yogi does not want to fall asleep and drown in awkwardness again.
“Again healed!” said it.
“See you at school,” reply Renata.
Saying no more words, Yogi leaves Renata. He walked down the hall, down the stairs, and found Rizki and Lia waiting for him at the door.
“Kak. Yogi, quick!” Lia waved at him.
“I'm coming!” he answered, speeding up the pace.
“May she recover tomorrow,” muttered Rizki while turning the door leaf. When the door was pulled, a man and a woman stood before the door.
The man was wearing a black, neat, friendly-faced suit with a thin smile painted on his face. The woman accompanying the man wore casual clothes, jackets, jeans, and jerseys, but Yogi admitted that the woman had a pretty face.
“Om, Auntie!” Lia mentioned those two people.
“Oh, Lia. You visited?” answer the man.
Automatically, she and Rizki take a step back, letting the couple enter the living room.
“True, we are working on a task today.”
“Oh, that's good,” says the woman.
“By the way they are Rizki and Yogi. They're my classmates and Rena. Yogi, Rizki, they are both Rena's parents,” Lia introduced her to the parents of the girl she likes. Either he should be happy or not, but he tried to smile.
“Night, Om Auntie,” said and Rizki together.
“Night. By the way are you guys done?” Renata's father throws questions.
“You can stay for dinner,” added Ibu Renata.
“Ah, thanks for the offer, but we are afraid that it will be too late to go home,” replied Rizki.
“I also want to buy something,” Lia added.
“Ah, that is a pity, but I cannot ban you guys,” replied Ms. Renata.
“Then, we excuse you,” said Rizki as she stepped out.
“Excuse me!” Yogi follows Rizki.
“See you by Om Aunt,” Lia follows after waving at Renata's parents.
Yogi never thought that he would meet Renata's parents. His heart almost stopped beating when he learned that fact, but he was still lucky not to faint. In the future, he should be able to control himself better.
