CAMELLIAS

episode 7's

KARA KAISARA'S

"Aren't you going to the cafeteria?" Ask Nadira for the umpteenth time. He followed my steps to the library.

"No. Go there alone, or with Nola." Answer me

"Gue doesn't like Nola."

"Continue?" 

"Why the hell, today you are so different. I also usually eat lunch in the cafeteria. Now the tumben really even to the perpus." Now Nadira and I got to the perpus, picked out a few books and sat in the back seat.

"For the sake of it." Reply, while opening each textbook.

"Lo ga bosen what, Kar. At school, at home, you learn. Even during the break, we are still learning. My amazement!" Nadira began to chatter as usual.

"There, you buy food. Tar come back here again, I'm nitip _"

"Nitip peanut butter bread, same sweet iced tea." Nadira cut my words.

"Well,,, that's tofu. Ihh pinter really,,,," my god.

"Jude, I bought it first." Nadira immediately went to the canteen.

Usually I rarely come to the library, unless there are some textbooks I have to borrow. Today is an exception too, because I know Jupiter and her friends must be in the cafeteria as usual and I deliberately avoided Jupiter. Choosing to hide in the library.

Since the morning the rancid man has managed to make my day less pleasant. I'd rather avoid getting involved with people like Jupiter, let alone having a super possessive girlfriend like Ayu. He could be a dangerous threat to the peace of my life at this school.

Who does not know a beautiful figure named Ayudia Calara. Blaster face and blonde hair became his trademark. Her beautiful face becomes the idol of the men of one school, and Jupiter becomes one of the lucky men who can captivate Ayu. 

This morning scared me. Ayu saw me being with Jupiter, even though nothing happened, but it made me feel uncomfortable. I'm afraid Ayu misunderstood and accused me of flirting with her lover.

Not only famous for her beauty, Ayu is also famous for her wildness. He can grab anyone who dares to tease his lover, Jupiter. Makes me shudder in horror just because I think about it.

The library is always quiet, rarely students who want to spend time reading here. They prefer to be in the canteen, the garden or on the roof of the school building. I can freely be here without Jupiter's interference, he couldn't have looked for me to this place.

"Now, Lo's order," Nadira came carrying one plastic loaf of bread and two glasses of sweet iced tea.

"Wihh, thank you so much." I immediately opened the plastic, picked up my favorite peanut butter sandwich. I had not had time to open the plastic bread, someone came to put a book on the table and immediately sat right in front of me.

I was surprised to see him.

"It's a public place." He said while pointing at a board that read Public Library.

I was surprised to see his arrival. How could he find me here. 

Nadira nudged my arm, feeling something strange suddenly a Jupiter was here.

"By leaving us both, I have the same business as him" said Jupiter, as if Nadira's existence interfered. 

I expected Nadira to refuse, but instead she nodded and left, even though I held her back.

I opened the delayed loaf of bread, and ate it regardless of Jupiter in front of me. Damn it he still looked at me exactly like that night, and smiled mischievously as if I were a toy to him. 

"Gue wants to try." Suddenly Jupiter took the bread from my hand, without hesitation directly eating it.

"Nuts, I don't like peanut butter." He protested but still put my bread in his mouth.

"That's mine," I protested.

"Now, open your mouth. Aaaaaa."

"Jupiter !" Unknowingly I shouted to her name.

My shout was loud enough, making Mr. Sharif as the manager of the library, approaching and reprimanding me. As if nothing happened, Jupiter just shrugged her shoulders, and again finished bread and even my drink until there was nothing left. 

I let out a breath. Why should I meet a man like him. I regret leaving with Dad that night, if I had known I would finally meet a strange man like Jupiter, I would rather stay at home watching Korean dramas with Bi Asih and her son, Susan. 

My patience is running low, I'm tidying up the books about to leave Jupiter. Just one step I moved, my hands first in check.

"One step you go, I screamed you were dating me. You know I have a boyfriend, and you know who my boyfriend is." Threatened him.

You crazy guy!

He could have threatened me. I undo my intentions, and choose to sit back opposite Jupiter. I wish time would pass so that I could leave soon. 

"Why isn't my message baled?" Ask.

"Udah is sleeping." I answered without looking at it, focusing only on the sheets of the book, even though it was only opened, without reading.

"Ohhh, can yes people sleep, but the phone is online until twelve." I closed my eyes, cursing at my answer.

"Do you prefer to be on the phone than in a chat? Or maybe Lo, I'd rather go straight to the house?" I looked at him for a moment, 

"Jupiter, what do you really want?"

"Well, that's from earlier. If anyone says that in the view, not nduk. I'm talking, not a book." 

I snorted in annoyance, talking to him really made me have to be extra patient.

"When will I return?" Bring along.

"I went home alone, there was a driver who picked me up."

"My barrel!"

"Jupiter !"

"Okay, I'll wait at the front gate."

"Tap__."

"Yes, you're welcome." He got up from his seat and left me. Not long the bell rang.

_______

"Where do you know Jupiter?" Nadira began to undermine the same question since two minutes ago after the lesson ended. I was still silent, still noting some of the tasks that had to be done at home.

"Kar. You're not so mute, because of meeting Jupiter."

"It can't be, it doesn't matter if it's a strange human!"

"Gue nanya, why angry anyway?" 

"Gue ain't mad, Nad. I just don't want to hear the name of the child. Please don't talk about him anymore, okay." 

"okay! But I'm still confused, since when did you know him?" I stared off guard, choosing to leave class and go home ahead of the other students. Half-run I headed to the school gate, after contacting Mr. Parman, my driver.

"Road, sir." I asked Mr. Parman to hurry away from the school. There was no sign of Jupiter, so I finally got home safely.

On the count of ten, my phone rings. No need to see it, it must be Jupiter. I pressed the button off, then put the phone in the bag. It's better to shut down so Jupiter doesn't bother me.

This time he smiled at my arrival, not as usual.

"Old old?" Much

"New."

"Let's go in." Take me.

The look on his face that was always serious when giving an explanation, made it difficult for me to divide the focus between the lesson and also his face. I don't know if I just admire her or if I like her, because every time I'm near Faro, my heart beats and my cheeks get hot when we accidentally meet. 

"Today I'm gonna pay the promise." He said, when the tutoring was over.

"May, I change first." I immediately tidied up the books, rushing to the second floor changing clothes.

"The motor is stored here, we use my motorbike in the garage." 

Faro took my motorcycle, and put it near the garage.

"You take it first, I'll try it on the lonely road at the end of the compound."

"Okay, yeah." 

Slowly the motor driven by Faro drove, down the streets of the complex. 

"It's over." 

"here?" Faro stopped the bike on the road I was talking about. The road is broad, straight and quiet.

I deliberately chose this path, as a place to practice. I wish Faro didn't realize I could ride a motorcycle.

"Okay, now you try." Faro shifted his seat, giving me a gap so I could sit at the wheel.

"You in the back?" Much

"Yes, if beginners must be accompanied, later if it is smooth, then I release myself." My face felt hot. Should I just cancel it, how could I sit next to him and he be right behind me.

"Come, I'll have an afternoon hunt."

Though in doubt, I finally tried. My body trembled not for fear of falling, but because of the touch from Faro's arm, occasionally his hand touched my arm and his chest stuck to my back. 

"Can stop first, I'm limp." I could no longer hold on, my body was trembling and feeling weak.

"Why, are you dizzy?" Putting the bike aside on the side of the road, I chose to go down and let Faro take control. 

"Ngga, I'm afraid of jatoh. So gurgling." My lies.

"Yes, we'll rest first." I agreed to Faro's advice, as well as resting my heart that felt like jumping. 

"Now, drink first." Faro gave me a bottle of mineral water 

"Thank you." 

The afternoon wind was cold, hitting my face which was still hot. 

"You're so different, if you're with me again."

"mm?"

"When at her birthday, Brother Nadia, you seem familiar and talk a lot, different if again the same me. Must be a lot of diem." I dare to start talking.

"Then I have to talk like what. Honestly, I'm confused. About her you are my first female student, even the greatest student I have mentored." The answer.

" Really?"

"Yes, before that I only taught Sd's children. As soon as I met you I was so confused as to what."

I smiled, but Faro was not as stiff as I thought. 

"If it were the same, you were the first young teacher. Usually my teacher's the age of Aunt Rosaline." 

"So together for the first time huh?" I nodded in agreement. 

Faro's phone rang, he walked a little away. Maybe it was such an important conversation that he didn't want me to hear it.

"I have business." He said awkwardly, as soon as he got closer.

"Okay, you can go home. It was late afternoon, right?"

"Today we continue to learn." 

"Yes." Yeah."

After Faro came home, I was in my room. It's been almost six hours, I turned off the phone. 

As soon as I opened, dozens of messages came in. Text messages and some voice messages, most of the messages are from Jupiter. I let out a breath of air, but only one second did my phone light up, again there was an incoming call. 

I tried to ignore Jupiter's call, but my phone kept ringing without pause making me finally give up.

"What's up?!"

"Wahhhhh you are so busy apparently, that I did not have time to reply to hundreds of messages that I sent," Ejek Jupiter.

"You know it." 

"Gue in front of your house,"

"What?! You are crazy !" 

"Who told ga bales."

"Go back!" 

"Gue count to three, until you don't come out ready for a surprise from me tomorrow." 

"Jupiter ! You're ke_"

"One..."

"Go back!" 

"Two..."

"Isa... Go home!"

"OK deal. You're my girlfriend."

"Jupiter !!!!!!!" As loud as I could shout his name, and only in answer laughs by Jupiter.
