Chandanas

Section 28

Boisterous cheers echoed throughout the hall as the team heroes one by one began to climb the podium that had been provided. Roka's laughter exploded as she saw Kiran among the students and students who were about to take the podium. Kiran looked nervous and trembling. Instead of worrying, Roka laughed with excitement. He imagined how scared and upset Kiran felt at this time.

Not yet relieved of her excitement, Roka squinted her eyes as she saw Ratih standing next to Kiran. The girl really looks like a model with a croptop and shorts, she is seen trying to invite Kiran to talk, calm the nervousness of her partner. While Roka was astonished, Rendi sounded annoyed and cursed out to see the togetherness of Ratih and Kiran.

"Okayly enough. His mother Ratih lo mother, so possessive am a child of people." Roka patted Rendi on the shoulder, trying to tell a joke with insinuating intent because Rendi and Ratih had indeed nothing to do since the girl expressed feelings for Kiran a few months ago.

Rendi looked at him with a sharp look full of anger. Her lips tapered with emotion, "Bacot lo! Sana ajarin temen lo so as not to sylap your own spit!"

Roka held back a laugh while shaving her head, "Yes, Bro. They just stood there, not rolling around in a hug. What's your life problem?"

Rendi clenched her hands, then got up and threw a fist towards Roka in a swift motion. Lucky for Roka who managed to dodge. Several of their teammates and a neighboring team came to break up the two. Rendi is seen trying hard to release the grip of her friends with a face reddened with anger. He looked at Roka with his eyebrows clenched and his hands clenched, impatiently lifting his punch.

Roka stood up then removed the people's grip from her arms slowly, "Sick lo." he said as he stepped aside to avoid a fight between them.

Rendi was still trying to catch up to Roka as a teacher approached them, questioning the commotion that had just occurred. "No sir, just a discussion," Rendi was forced to return to her place.

Roka sighed, she also wanted to immediately beat up the madman if they were not at the school event. Doubtfully, Roka sat right next to Chandana who was seen alone. The girl was sitting cross-legged, looking down while playing her fingers, not trying to blend in with their other teammates.

Roka's arrival surprises Chandana. He hurriedly shifted away when he realized Roka was sitting next to him, "Why are you guys making a fuss?"

Roka shrugged, she was also confused by what they were really struggling with, "Emang is just a bored child. Everything's rotated."

Chandana nodded then lowered her head back, playing her fingers. Roka glanced at the girl, it seems Chandana has not realized that Kiran is now standing there with a school celebrity who once expressed love for her. If you already know, wouldn't it be impossible for Chandana to behave this way?

"Lo anyway, do not want to go forward," said Roka suddenly.

Chandana raised her head, feeling clueless as to what Roka said, "You mean?"

"Kiran is also ahead there. If you want to go forward earlier, you must be tight next to him," Roka pointed forward, precisely at Kiran who was now busy discussing strategy with Ratih.

Chandana looked straight ahead. He saw Kiran was laughing, in tune with Ratih who also seemed to laugh with her. Judging from any side, both of them looked like a very compatible couple. Kiran had never been seen that relaxed and relaxed when she was with him. Chandana realizes that she is nothing compared to Kiran. The friendly and kind-hearted figure that many like Kiran admire deserves to be friends, worthy of being with a much better person than Chandana, a gloomy and frightened girl.

Chandana looked down again, "So why is Kiran there? Is that my business?"

Roka was flabbergasted at Chandana's reply. He thought the girl in front of him liked Kiran as much as Kiran did.

"Gue wants to ask you," said Roka suddenly.

Chandana was still lowered, not feeling interested in Roka's words, "Ask what?"

"How do you feel about Kiran?"

Both silent. Roka waited for an answer from Chandana impatiently. He was a little irritated by the tenderness and calmness in every Chandana act and word. For an impatient person, spontaneity is a more pleasant thing to hear than waiting for a structured but time-consuming answer. Roka could not imagine if she had to like a quiet girl like Chandana. He will obviously feel frustrated himself.

One minute passed and Roka was still waiting for Chandana's answer with growing curiosity. Of course he would be upset if it turned out that Kiran meant nothing to Chandana, if it turns out Chandana doesn't even feel anything for Kiran because Roka knows very well if this girl means a lot to her best friend.

"There are no bad feelings. Me and the three of you are friends, and that's quite explaining," Chandana looked at Roka with her own face.

Roka was surprised by what she heard, by what she saw. There were no lies on Chandana's face, she looked calm and did not seem like she was hiding anything.

Roka grimaced inwardly, hesitatingly looking at Kiran in front there. He knew that Kiran would not give up if she told Kiran that Chandana did not like her as much as she liked Chandana. Roka hopes Kiran can conquer the girl with all her sincerity.

No wonder the nature of cold and as stiff as an iceberg can be liquid if faced is a desert with all the heat and storm.

"Lo's sure?" Roka tried to make sure once again.

"That's sure."

"Apollo 11? Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, July 20, 1969!" Kiran whispered in Ratih's ear right after the host recited the question.

Ratih nodded then brandished his hand, he taught loudly and confidently. The sound of applause rumbled as the host confirmed the answer he gave. So far, the duo of Kiran and Ratih lead the points with ten correct answers, following the team in second with six correct answers.

"Gue didn't expect your knowledge to be so vast!" Ratih raised his hand, taking Kiran to the tos for their correct answer.

The host closed the evening's activities with the first cup awarding ceremony in their activities three days ahead. Of course the team of Kiran and Ratih who won smartly this time. The entire hall cheered as the headmaster gave the trophy for Kiran to receive.

Students and students who saw the interaction of Ratih and Kiran felt salute and also proud. Two people who have hurt each other now look familiar like friends and even couples. Not a few female students are made jealous of their closeness in public. Especially so far Kiran laughs and smiles a lot, his attitude surprised almost all of his fellow soldiers because before, let alone smile, responding to greetings he would not be as friendly.

Kiran walked hand in hand with some of her teammates. Bagas praised the chemistry shown by Kiran and Ratih, he even had time to tempt Kiran to turn things around by expressing feelings for Ratih. Of course this was not taken seriously by Kiran.

"Gue first yes," Kiran walked apart from the group because she was not interested in attending a coffee show with her other friends.

Slowly, Kiran walked towards the villa. Unexpectedly, Ratih patted Kiran on the back and walked beside her.

"Ratiha? What's up?"

"Gue thought you hated me after what Rendi did back then," Ratih looked at Kiran right in both eyes. Her face looked beautiful and firm, truly a confident girl.

"Why should I hate? I guess you hate me after what I did. I'm so sorry, Ratih. I will not defend my actions at that time. I'm wrong, I shouldn't refuse you in front of everyone like that. Sorry also because only now I dare to apologize equally lo. I was that fat. You deserve to like someone better than me." Kiran smiled faintly, her voice trembling with nervousness.

Ratih looked at Kiran's goal, then smiled knotfully. "Gue doesn't like you, Kiran. My feeling about you is not wrong. You're a good man, it's all still visible even when you're trying to be bad."

Kiran chuckled, her ears reddened at Ratih's praise. In addition to Naya and Chandana, Ratih is the first girl to talk to him about many things. If only their situation was better than before, Kiran would be happy to be good friends with Ratih. A fun and friendly girl like Ratih doesn't deserve to like her. Kiran is grateful that she did not receive Ratih at the time because Kiran realized that there was nothing she could give but pain, worry, and fear.

"Can you please! Yaudah, get in there, it's getting cold, "Kiran urges Ratih to get into the villa immediately because since a while ago they have arrived in front of the villa, but stopped because they are still talking to each other.

"There's so much, you've made our team win!" Ratih patted Kiran on the cheek, making the man surprised instead of playing.

"Lo is great too," Kiran smiled doubtfully.

Over and over, Kiran's heart pounded, panic began to run through her heart and mind. Seeing Ratih smiling into the villa made Kiran feel scared and panicked. He was afraid that Ratih misinterpreted his kindness like his old SD friend, he was afraid to hurt Ratih and others around him as he had been doing.

Kiran hit her chest as she felt an extremely suffocating tightness. He had trouble breathing until his eyes were watering.

"Huk.... Uhuk..." Kiran was still standing in a daze as Roka pushed her from behind.

"Remain lo in front of the girls' villa? Want to take a peek?" canda Roka while looking at Kiran who bowed while coughing.

Realizing that something was wrong with her best friend, Roka's face began to panic, "Lo why? Heh, Kiran! Lo why? Look at me, heh! Lookat me!" Roka pulled Kiran's face so she could see her best friend clearly.

Kiran looks pretty fucked up. He had difficulty breathing, his eyes were watery, his face was flushed with sweat, while his mouth was busy sucking in as much oxygen as possible.

"Lo why?"

Kiran cried, she shook her head slowly as she continued to try to catch her breath properly.

"Kiran! Breathing through the nose! Slow down! Lo denger me? Through nose!" roka exclaimed in a loud voice, this is the first time she has seen Kiran like this again since a few years ago.

"Take a. Dozen!" Roka was still holding Kiran's head so that she could continue to see her best friend well.

Slowly, Kiran began to be able to catch her breath. Tears fell from Kiran's eyes because of breathing difficulties.

"Lo bring oba-" Roka was about to ask about the medicine that Kiran might have brought when suddenly her friend coughed.

Kiran removed Roka's hand from her face and used her palm to cover her mouth. Roka looked at Kiran worriedly as their friends started to arrive to question what was happening.

"No, it's okay!" Roka answered the whole thing while still patting Kiran's back which was still coughing.

"Not papa how? That's-"

"Gee!" someone screamed as Kiran suddenly fell to the ground.

"Kira? Kiran!" Roka rushed to catch Kiran, patting her cheek to regain consciousness.

People started to gather, one of them turned on the cell phone flashlight and pointed it at Kiran's body. From there Roka could see blood on the lips of his friend who was now drooping unconscious. Panicking, Roka grabbed Kiran's palm and found blood pooling there.

"Cepet call Master!" roka shouted with tears that began to bathe her eyes.
