Dear, Soul!!

A bad surprise..

12

The morning sun is warm and soothing.. The red date was a lot of fun for us students. Well, today is a national holiday that commemorates the birthday of Pancasila, coupled with several inter-school competitions, one of which is the Fauzi basketball game competition.

I was planning to surprise him last night when I called him saying that today I have a training schedule so I don't have time to attend. I want to give him an unexpected spirit.

My smartphone was deliberately turned off so that Fauzi could not contact me.

After the ceremony commemorating the birthday of Pancasila. Sports buildings are very crowded, some are still wearing school uniforms after the ceremony, some are wearing sports clothes for those who have competitions today and some are wearing normal clothes.

From a distance, the cheerleader team gave cheers of spirit.

I squabbled with the other spectators. I was happy to give Fauzi a surprise with my presence. Towels, mineral water and some snacks I did not forget to provide.

The basketball game started, I waited for a while to see a representative from my school. The basketball arena was getting crowded, the crowd cheers were getting boisterous. Some people get hysterical when the ball almost enters the ring.

My school representative arrived.

"Ah Fauzii's.." I cried while clapping.

One by one my school basketball team members entered the court, but somehow I didn't see Fauzi there, who I knew only Farhan and the rest of the new team members whom I didn't recognize.

"Is Fauzi late or what?" Thought.

I kept watching, until the game started I still didn't see Fauzi. The spirit of the Supporter from my school grew increasingly boisterous, shouting and continuous support was called. All the spectators became noisy and excited. Unlike me, I became dispirited as soon as the match started without Fauzi.

"What's wrong?" Thought.

The match finished with a victory won by my school. I walked over to Farhan who was still celebrating the victory with the other basketball team and some representative friends from the school.

"Little..." He said he saw me approaching him immediately.

I smiled, while thrusting a towel and bottled mineral water. Farhan looked a little confused when I put the towel on, but he took it anyway.

"Thank you." he smiled.

"Sama-sama" I replied..

Farhan walked away from the crowd of basketball friends and friends from school and sat in one of the chairs around the gym.

"Tumben you came, but Fauzi did not come" he said, wiping his sweat with the towel I gave him.

"I didn't know Fauzi wasn't up today" I said sighing.

"Well, did Fauzi not tell you?"

I just shook my head.

"Well, Tumben Fauzi didn't tell you. You didn't call Fauzi?"

"No" I answered briefly.

"Hmmm.. You guys got a problem?"

"Sir, I just wanted to give Fauzi a surprise, so I didn't say I wanted to come"

"Well, why don't you know that Fauzi isn't up today? Fauzi didn't say?"

I took out my Smartphones that I was deactivating.

"Hem.. How do Fauzi want to tell you that his HP is dead??"

I just smiled wryly.

I activated my Smartphone. Some Chat came in from Fauzi.

"Darling, today I'm not playing basketball, replaced by Farhan.."

"Sadang... Today I took the motto again, same thing.."

"Honey.. Hape you're being killed?"

"YANG..??"

"Are you training again??"

"Hmmm.. I think you can't be bothered anymore, you know the spirit of the exercise baby, call me when it's over"

Some of Fauzi's messages stormed my inbox.

"That's Hape, don't get dizzy, the notifications keep coming in" Farhan said, hearing my successive Handphone notifications coming in.

"Message from Fauzi, he told me that it wasn't up to today, but I didn't read it" I said languidly.

"Heem... So then?"

I just shook my head..

"Yaudah, let me drive you home.. Just take the bag first" Farhan said.

I walked along with Farhan out of the gym. Ah.. I feel so lethargic..

"You want some ice cream?" Ask Farhan..

Maybe it was because I saw me so moody and in such a bad mood, that Farhan took the initiative to invite me to eat ice cream. Ah yes, some people say, Ice cream is very powerful to restore a bad mood. *This applies to those who like the same Ice cream yes gaess, if the person from the sonnya does not like the same ice cream, can-can be the mood added ancur undar*

"Can.." Answer me

Fauzi ran into the supermarket. I waited for him on the park chair close to the gym.

Before long, Fauzi returned while offering chocolate-flavored ice cream.

"I don't know what you like"

"I like the taste of chocolate.."

Farhan sat beside me.

"Udah.. Don't be lethargic.. Tomorrow Fauzi will be competing again, you still have many opportunities to squirm Fauzi play"

I smiled wryly.

"Yes, I'm a little upset to remember that.."

"Yes, Fauzi said it.."

"Yes.."

"Loh Salwa.." said Farhan puzzled "You why?" Ask.

"I don't know, brother" I answered

"No papa what.. You why?" Ask worried.

I just shook my head but my tears kept flowing.

I don't know how long I cried, Farhan just gave me his handkerchief while waiting for me, sitting next to me without a word. She seemed to make room for me to let go of all the tightness of my feelings through my cries.

Slowly I started to control my feelings. My tears are starting to subside.

"Is it better?" Ask.

I just nodded.

"Why? If there's anything you can tell me"

I just ducked.

"Your feelings won't be relieved if you keep them to yourself.. Same story as me" he told me

I just fell silent.

"I can be a listener to everything that makes you feel bad"

"Sister..."

"Yes.. Why?"

"I know I'm wrong, but I don't know why I feel upset"

"About the incomparable Fauzi today?" Ask.

I'm nodding.

"So you cry because of that?"

I nodded again.

"Hmmm..." He took a long breath.

"That's just part of your disappointment, you want to give surprise but instead you are surprised"

"I don't know if I was wrong.. I know I have no right to deny Fauzi a new hobby. But I don't know also I'm not happy Fauzi so often photographed" I said lowered my head.

"Kan Fauzi's portrait is not always Salwa, it's finished that Fauzi can nemenin you.."

"Yes I know, brother, but I'm used to Fauzi giving me more time. I'm not as frequent as Fauzi's communication"

"This will not continue anyway, Fauzi will have enough time for the snow later"

"But lately it's not that big brother, lately we've rarely met because Fauzi is busy taking photos and I'm busy practicing dance.."

"That's because you're both busy"

"Yes.. It just doesn't feel good, it's going anywhere but there's nothing cool, I can't be free to make Fauzi come out, so it's not like I used to be able to get me anywhere"

"Emang lately Fauzi is so busy that you can't keep going?"

I just nodded.

"How often?"

"That day that Fauzi was sent a brown map, he became busier. Fauzi so often make promises, Fauzi so often can not keep me going"

"Waaah.. Fauzi's been really busy.."

I was silent for a moment, Farhanpun became confused and just went silent.

"If you go anywhere no one can stop, you can take me" Farhan said.

I looked up and looked at him. And back down.

"I can nemenin you if you need a road friend. You can ask me for help like that" he said.

I smiled

"Thank you brother.."

"If there's something you want to tell me, you can come to me and tell me everything, you can take all your grunts to me" he explained.

"Yes, if you swear not while ngesalto me" he continued.

I laughed at Farhan's words.

"It's sweet to smile like that"

I looked up and was a little surprised.

"That's not what it was like anymore. Don't be sad and don't cry anymore like that, you can share with me, you can tell me" he said.

I looked up and looked at him.

"Thank you brother.."

"Yes.." She replied with a smile, I just smiled back.

"Where? is it good for her feelings?"

I nodded with a smile.

"Yaudah, let me drive you home.."

I just nodded in agreement.

Farhan drove me home. Along the way he made jokes that made me laugh. My bad feelings went away, and began to improve..
