CLASS IF
CHAPTER 19: DON'T GO
The morning was the same as the morning before. Birds chirping welcome the rising sunlight. Students began to flock to school. Vehicles carried by students one by one filled the parking lot provided by the school.
Everything remains the same as in the days before. At least for them like that. Although the world continues to change over time. Only, the two of them realized a difference that would not make it the same as the previous days.
“Ghe, you seem to be sick. How about home?” The image looked at Ghea who was sticking her head on the table. He touched Ghea's shoulder. Heat. That was what Citra felt when she touched Ghea.
Ghea shook her head, “Didn't want to. Also at home. There is no one either,” Ghea told a lie. At home there is his mother. Only, he was trying to calm himself down by slightly moving away from them.
“Ke UKS if so.” The image tries to offer another option.
Again, Ghea shook her head. “Make. Horror in UKS.”
“Ngawur. Let's go to the UKS I'm going to, Ghe. Your body is very hot,” Citra still forces Ghea.
“Miss, Cit!” ghea's voice is rising, “have I gone to sleep first! Wake up if the teacher has come,” said Ghea. He turned his sleeping position to the right. Until he turned his back on Citra. The image just shook its head. Her stubbornness started to appear and this time .. a little annoying.
Ghea started closing her eyes. Actually, he couldn't really fall asleep. The bad taste of his body started to bother him. Ghea did not deny that lately his body is not as usual. He even got dizzy and vomited a lot. The appetite is also gone.
Suddenly, Ghea straightened up. Imagery also looks. But Ghea said nothing. He just looked at Dio who passed his desk without any intention of greeting. Dio who was originally sitting at the side table, moved to the back table. It seems like they have a problem.
Ghea stared at Dio. But Dio had no intention of looking at it one bit. He knew that Ghea was looking at him. It had been these few days, Dio had continued to be indifferent to Ghea. It was as if he thought Ghea never existed again after the big incident at Ghea's house.
In fact, Ghea still did not believe what happened to her family. But this is the truth. Dio and Ghea were brothers. Brother and Sister.
“*Say once again the same Ghea, Mah! What does this Aunt say is true?”
“Iya, Ghea ... Dio's Your Brother* ...”
Ghea shook her head. He was still mingled with his mother's confession about Dio. It's just that, even though Ghea was just as devastated as Dio. But Ghea doesn't want to be kept like this. Ghea wants to talk good. As Dio always taught him.
Ghea pulled out her phone. He read a message he had read many times.
Mr. X
I'm still digesting what just happened to my life. So, you don't have to call me anymore. Don't spay me. Let's just say we don't know.
“You have any problem?” ask Revan. Ghea was a little bit of a squeak. In a hurry he put his phone under the table.
“Whose do you mean?”
“Lo equals Dio. Who else is it?”
The image snapped at Revan's remark, “You have a problem Ghe, same Dio?”
Ghea did not answer. He just touched the hand of Citra sign that Citra does not ask or say anything first. Ghea looked at Revan. His eyes narrowed slightly, “Slight ...”
Revan raised his eyebrows, “Gue felt not a little. You see, children lately like to go home at night from Bi Anah stalls. Unusually. Dio was even wayward, but never came home late.”
“Iya?” said Ghea. He just found out about this Dio. Revan nodded. Then put his eyes back. Dio fell asleep at the back table.
“Jadi ... actually lo same Dio what's the relationship anyway? Dating is not ngakuin. Often both ways. Just broke up with Dio? Tumbenan very far with him.”
Ghea glared at Setra's sudden impassioned speech. His heart was racing because indirectly Setra had already revealed his secret.
“Lo want me to sumpel your mouth same tumbler me, huh? Lemes very mouth,” spray Ghea. He looked for a moment at Citra. He was surprised and would reveal something but was arrested by Ghea.
Setra close her lips, “Yaudah lo the same story we-we. What's the same with you two. I feel sorry for him. Lately he has been plaguing. Afraid of going crazy, Ghe!”
“The crazy one is elo, know not!”
“Kok lo nyolot, Yes! Baikin. Why the hell are you two? His art goes up and down.” Setra so remember Dio who often ignited emotions lately.
Setra staggered slightly to the side due to someone's impulse. He turned his head and found Shania with her flat face. “Cute me.”
“Eh, Shai ...,” An upset Setra suddenly smiles sweetly at Shaina. “Gak, can, Shai. This affair is more important.”
“Lo come with me fine or I drag?”
Setra exhaled violently. Shaina is increasingly similar to Elgan. His manner of speaking, his thoughts, his mannerisms. Is it possible that Shaina turned out to be Elgan's sister? Setra shook his head to expel those ngawur thoughts.
******
Ms. Rinka was walking towards the back of the school. Sometimes his eyes looked around like they were looking for someone. Before long, he managed to find the person he was looking for. Ms. Rinka sighed then walked up to the person.
“It turns out you are here ...,” said Bu Rinka. He pulled out a worn chair and positioned it in front of Dio.
Dio looked away, “I no longer want to be disturbed, Mom!” dio said in an unfriendly tone.
“I no longer bother you, really. Look, I was just sitting in front of you.”
Dio snorted in annoyance. He didn't say anything else. They remained silent for quite a while. Until Miss Rinka starts the conversation again.
“Dio .. can I borrow your guitar?” Rinka turned to look at the guitar standing next to Dio. Dio who never spoke, finally turned his head a little when Bu Rinka took his guitar. For a moment, he was stunned by the portrait adorning the guitar hole. Portraits of the Dio family. There was her mother who was very beautiful wearing a blue headscarf and her father who looked very wise.
“So Mom used to learn guitar. But now remember to forget,” he said. Miss Rinka started picking guitars. It is seen that his hands are very stiff in strumming the guitar. The resulting tone also sounded disheveled.
Dio grabbed his guitar violently. “If you can't. Don't forced. Damaged my ears,” said Dio ketus.
Bu Rinka hissing. “Ish! How ugly you are with Mom.”
Dio did not answer. It even turned away his face. They were silent again. Until Miss Rinka opened her voice. “Dio .. can I wipe your hair, no?” ask Miss Rinka. Dio just stared in surprise at his homeroom teacher.
Without waiting for a reply, Bu Rinka's hand stretched out toward the top of Dio's head. He rubbed Dio's head. Miss Rinka stared at Dio. It was as if he knew what his disciple was feeling.
The hand that was at the top of the head, now went down holding Dio's shoulder. Dio was still astonished by Miss Rinka's behavior. “Mother came here .. not just as your homeroom teacher. But Mom came as your friend. If you need anything or want any story. Come to Mom, Dio. Don't hesitate,” said Bu Rinka.
Dio did not respond to anything. He just looked down for a while and turned back to look away. Again, they were silent for quite a while. Until Dio finally opened his voice. “Salah if someone hates because what he has received is very bad?”
“It's natural that someone hates something. But it's not natural for that person to constantly hate. There are times when he has to forgive and assume everything never happened.”
Dio laughs bland and cynical, “Whatever bad it is?”
Miss Rinka did not answer. He looked inside, “Because in reality people who live hatefully are never happy. Even though he can still live mediocre like most people. But deep down the man was never completely happy. Isn't life talking about how you enjoy every opportunity God gives you?”
Dio did not answer. He just smiled cynically. Then he reached into his pants pocket, pulled out a vibrating phone. Elgan's name was on her phone screen.
“Halo ...”
“Dio! Lo where?! Ghea passed out in front of the toilet!”
********
Ghea walked a little staggered due to her headache. He's going to the toilet. This time there was no Citra beside him because his friend had gone to the library and had not returned. Not long after, he reached the door.
Only, his eyes began to blur.
Ghea gasped not when three people came out along with himself who would enter. Ghea staggered and could not balance her body position.
“Woy look around that way!”
THUMPING
Ghea's body was knocked. His eyes are getting blurred. Then he could see nothing more and his consciousness was cut off just like that.
“Eh she fainted, Ly!”
“Masa anyway? I'm not too hard nubruknya,” said Lily. He approached Ghea who was sitting limp on the floor.
“GHEA!”
Shouted Elgan. He stepped wide.
“Lo whatever he is, huh?”
“Gu—gue is fine with him. Suers. I accidentally nubruk him, but not hard!”
From a distance Kayla seemed to squint because she saw Elgan in front of the school toilet. There's his nemesis, Lily. The more curious he saw the crowd. Kayla also approached.
Kayla's face stiffened when she saw Ghea lying limp on the floor.
“Why Ghea, Gan?”
“Fainting. Move lo!” elgan's attack on Lily hinders Ghea's access. Lily's away. Just now, Elgan will carry Ghea, one hand Elgan banned by someone.
“Let me aja.”
That guy, Dio. Dio released his hand on Elgan. He took Ghea and took her away. Elgan rubbed her face rough as Dio led her towards the parking lot.
“Take him to UKS first!" snapped Elgan.
“Gue to take to RS! Her body is hot! You don't feel it, huh?”
Those who were arguing in a loud voice, made Citra who was carrying a book at the intersection of the hallway turn her head. He could not see the face of the person being carried but he remembered the bracelet the person was wearing.
“GHEA!”
The image just let go of the book. He runs after Elgan and Dio, which leads to the parking lot.
“Why Ghea! How can I faint?”
Dio not deskwab. It even speeds up the path. The image that from the past could not run fast began to roam. Elgan stopped for a moment. He looked back.
“Ghea why fainting, Gan? Why not take it to the UKS first? Dio wants to take Ghea where else!” The image inclines Elgan with questions. But Elgan had no intention of answering. He just pulled Citra's arm and said, “lo follow me to the hospital.”
A car stops right in front of Dio who is carrying Ghea. The door is open, “Let's get in!”
Dio glanced at the car as it turned out to be Bu Rinka who was carrying the car. Without waiting any longer, Dio entered carrying Ghea in his arms.
******
“Lucky to be taken to hospital immediately. Platelets and leukocytes are very low. He needs to be treated. Maybe he has typhoid or DHF. I can't be sure yet. We have to wait a few days to make sure.”
Ms. Rinka nodded then drove the doctor who handled Ghea out. Dio looked straight at Ghea. There was a sense of guilt that had plagued him for ignoring Ghea these few days. Only, he was too hurt to be able to look at Ghea.
Dio turned his body. He intends to leave. But a voice made him unable to leave just like that.
“Ja—ngan go.”
“Kak ...,” says Ghea shrivelled. His eyes are still closed. “Dio ...,” he continued.
