"Run!" That's all I thought about. But the pain that remained, made my movements not as fast as I wanted. Until I stopped at a turn to hide.
My heart is beating so hard.
Oh, my God, what if he finds me. Is he maybe a bad guy? Why is he following me? Maybe he's a crazy psychopath.
“No... no! Don't think strangely, Tiara!” my mind is knocking on my forehead. "Don't let what you think come true."
I peeked out from behind the wall, I saw a young man in his gray white uniform stopping in front of me. His head looked to the right and left as if looking for something missing.
But a moment later, the young man looked back.
"Aargha!"
Of course I was surprised, our pair of eyes met and the young man looked awkward and took his eyes off me.
“Ke– why?” ask me to vent.
“Hmm?” The man raised his face and looked back at me.
“Why are you following me?” my many.
The young man shook his head. “No, I didn't follow you. My home is there, and ... when you yell “run!”, I guess you also asked me to run.”
"Without knowing why you should run?" tanyaku later.
I can no longer hold back my laughter. It's really funny. So ... he just ran because I ran away!
"Hey! Why are you laughing? You're supposed to say now, why run?" ask her with a high voice.
Not getting an answer from me, the young man kept quiet and just looked at me until I stopped laughing. Then he extended his hand to me. “Kevin,” he said without hesitation
Inevitably I took his hand, shook it and said my name back. "North."
“Jadi ... are you the new neighbor?" I asked after realizing that she lived in the same housing as me.
"Why? Is there something I should know?" tanyakanya.
I poked my shoulders and stepped back. "No," I said. "sorry. I don't want to be punished for wearing a vest just because I'm late for school."
I wave my hand, to stop a public vehicle going.
"Wait!" she exclaimed, "I think we're in the same direction." Then without waiting for my answer, he climbed on the city's transport.
The vehicle we were riding was packed this morning. Some mothers with their shopping carts, making the vehicle that is not so broad is getting narrower. It was a busy morning.
Of course I can't protest, but this is a public facility. Anyone has the right to use it. Plus because Kevin pushed me in, I couldn't go out and wait for the next transport.
"Karcis ... ticket!" The kernet began to pull the cost of the trip.
"Neng, that's his girlfriend, right?" Suddenly a mother poked my hand.
I was surprised to hear that question. "Did? No, no, no," I denied being quick while shaking both my hands.
I glanced awkwardly at Kevin. The man also looked awkward from hearing our conversation.
"Oh, I think she's Neng's girlfriend. So Neng doesn't have a girlfriend yet, does she?" The mother's investigation continues.
"Euh …." Of course I became confused because of that question.
But instead of stopping the investigation, the mother looked at me without awkwardly. "If you don't have one, you want to know Neng with your mother's child, can you? Mother's children are quite mature, well-established and definitely saucy. Same with pretty Neng."
The deg!
"Eh, what the fuck? Why be my soul mate with his son, anyway. Jeez …. In modern times, there is still Siti Nurbaya," my inner.
Not finished my surprise, Kevin suddenly grasped my hand, then raised it as if deliberately showing it to the mother.
"He's not my girlfriend, Mom. But my future wife" he said with confidence.
I deliberately glared at him, but Kevin seemed to ignore me and give the driver a sign that he was going down.
"What the hell is this?" shouted a mother in an angkot.
"You brought in****** rat, huh?"
"God! Who is carrying****** rat!"
I still heard another tone of protest from inside the angkot just before the public transport was back on the move. I pulled my hand from Kevin's.
Suddenly Kevin's laughter exploded. I glared in annoyance. Because of her, I had to walk to school. But the distance is still far.
"Why are you laughing?" ask me with annoyance while crossing my pair of hands, cross-legged on the chest.
"Yaa .. You should thank me for taking you down from the lot" he said indifferently.
"Yes, thank you for what? Did you get me out of a matchmaking match?" my ketus. "C'mon, that's just a stale base, that's doang bullshit. Why are you taking me down? Don't you know, the distance to our school is still far?"
Kevin shook his head, then the young man raised his shoulders. "But that's not what I meant."
"Then?"
"I'm afraid you're fainting. I had a stomachache and .…" The young man put his hand into a funnel in front of his mouth. "I'm deliverance." He looked at me with his innocent look while nodding his head, as if to say that he was not joking.
"God! So dirty," I murmured.
Kevin raised his eyebrows in a bitchy manner, then he chuckled and ran away leaving me. "Come fast! You'll be late!" he screamed from a distance.
"Gee! Not loyal, man!" I was upset while kicking a pebble in front of me.
I glanced at my watch and right. The only time left is five minutes! Damn, because of him I'm gonna be late.

"Why is it too late?" Ask Miss Siska. The teacher of the tatibsi (student order) section scribbled my date book and put a stamp next to it.
"My hands are out of hand, Mom!" suhut Kevin fast.
"You?" askinya.
"So I took an angkot, but there were students who made me forced to go down even though the distance was still far from school."
"Why is that?"
"No idea, ma'am," I said, still upset.
"Euh .. I know Hiroshima and Nagasaki, right. If you're in those two cities, aren't you going to evacuate?" keep Kevin.
"you mean? Is there a boom?" Miss Siska glared so surprised.
"Nothing, Mom," I said quickly. "Gosh, what dream did I have last night, can I usually meet this dakocan."
"Ish, saucy gini spelled dakocan," grinned.
"God! Even noisily. Boom what does that mean?" finally Miss Siska repeated her question. "You got a homemade bomb, Kevin?"
"That was Kevin farting in angkot, Mom," I said quickly because I was anxious.
Miss Siska looks upset. The middle-aged woman pushed the stamp-stained textbook on us. "Already, now you two go to the principal's room to ask for permission to enter the classroom."
"Good Mom! Thank you," I said before leaving the student room.
We walked to the principal's room. The jasmine-scented room was very reflective of the soul of its occupants. Ms. Hartini to me is a firm woman with a soft heart.
The woman raised her head a moment after I knocked on the door of her room. His friendly face suddenly changed when he saw Kevin behind me.
"Are you causing trouble again?" ask with a serious face.
I was surprised to hear that phrase. I looked back, looking at the face of the young man standing unmoved in his place.
Why did Ms Hartini say that? Why did Ms. Hartini rebuke Kevin before knowing the matter clearly? Is this possible because Om Damar has threatened him so that no one would dare to bother me?
