Decants

Badmoods

After a very beautiful, happy, but also very stressful event that has happened in the park.

5 days later...

This pair of friends looks the same again. This time, they headed to a Junior High school that only took a journey of approximately 15 minutes. Yep... That day, Aulia will re-register. But this time the atmosphere was more 'living' because Thoriq, his best friend, accompanied him.

And it could be said that the moment of togetherness was the last before Thoriq returned to Bondowoso because tomorrow he also had to go home there.

Is it sad ?

But that's it..

Yep.. We come and in the end one day we will go or come back again

Even so, but the remaining time they make as happy as possible. As if - would they continue like that 'forever '.

Thoriq with his beloved 'navy' jacket repeatedly made jokes so that he could see the laughter and smile of Aulia who somehow he could see again after his return tomorrow to 'civilization '.

They went to school on foot.

"More healthy and economical." said Aulia. The school is also close.

With a relaxed pace accompanied by a laugh that always faithfully accompanied their journey and finally before long, they arrived in front of a magnificent school called ' Junior High School 4 SIDOARJO ' .

This school is filled with a sea of students who want to register. This is the best school in the city.

Long story...

Aulia set foot into the gate, followed by Thoriq.

Huff..

'If there is no Thoriq accompanying me, I can - can sweat coldly here in the middle of a sea of humans that I don't know much ', his mind while aligning his steps with his best friend

Aulia could not be in the crowd, especially if she did not recognize so many of them.

' Introvert ! ', yes, maybe that's the right word to describe his personality.

With Thoriq's loyal steps accompanying her journey, Aulia continued to step into a room to register.

He stopped right at the door of a class, where the re-registration was done.

Thoriq gave the code to enter and he was greeted with words

" Riqs... I'm going in, huh ? " said Aulia with a clear face while holding onto Thoriq's jacket

" Eh...? "

" Come Riq... When you have the heart to see me alone inside, I do not know who - who "persuade Aulia

Because he could not bear with Aulia, Thoriq finally agreed

" Okay." said Thoriq with a smile.

Yep... Thoriq knew very well the personality of his best friend. And you could say it is

' the only one' who understands that the most.

With full loyalty and sincerity she continued beside Aulia, waiting until her best friend was done doing the registration.

A few minutes later...

Aulia is running around with all her business. The most 'sweet' moment, when he realized it turned out that Thoriq continued to be nearby.

" Riqs... Udah, we go home yuk "he said slowly while distracting Thoriq

" good.. Come on...! "

Once they are outside the room...

" I'm sorry Riq, it's been taken" said Aulia with a guilty face

" Uh.. Not really Ul... ! Instead, I am very happy to be able to nemenin you "refuse Thoriq with a big smile

" Seriously ? "

" Yes, seriously... Does my face seem unconvincing, right ? " typal Thoriq laughed

" That's why thank you so much Riq.." continued Aulia with a smile.

" Yoi... No problem "

" Oh yeah. by the way - by the way we just go home and walk ? " ask Thoriq while walking near Aulia

" Yes... We're walking, the deket house. Or do you want to rest first ? " reply Aulia while looking at her 'tall' friend.

" Uh... No really. I think you're tired " explains Thoriq

" No, " replied Aulia

On the way home, they told stories, joked and laughed together. When they got home, they stayed together. This time it was Aulia who was visiting the house of Thoriq.

Just like in Aulia's house, there is also a mini library, which contains so many books ranging from poetry, short stories, comics, encyclopedias, and novels.

" Of... Do you want to read comics ? I have a new comic you know, for you only. " said Thoriq while arranging the shelves and then he approached Aulia and offered 2 new local comics.

" Make me...? Comics are as good as this. "ask Aulia while opening the sheets per comic sheet.

" Yes... Take it, I've read it all. Anyway you have to read, that's really cool...! " obviously Thoriq enthusiastically

" Whoa...! Thank you very much Riq. "reply back Aulia with joy.

They often exchange comics, novels, and other reading books even so with movies.

Well...!

That day...

They spend their time reading comics together. Sometimes there's laughter in that 'peaceful' room.

" Hm... Riq, are you prepared for your departure tomorrow ? " tanya Aulia broke the silence

" Ah.. it's 'mah' easy. Could be a short night, the important thing today is made 'happy' used to "reply with a smile

Aulia simply nodded, her eyes sweeping across the corner - the corner of the room of Thoriq's house as if - she would reminisce about the events that had happened in that place.

A few minutes later...

He moved away from his seat with Thoriq, walked by the window for a moment to see the scenery outside.

He was silent for quite a while...

The corner of his eyes still looked at his friend's only wayangnya ' that is engrossed in struggling with his favorite reading book and did not feel he had 12 years accompanied him.

Which makes it sad, when Aulia realized from tomorrow the atmosphere will be different again...!

Silent..., deserted... empty... !

Yep... From tomorrow the laughter and jokes that meant so much to him won't be there for him and I don't know when that will happen ?

Shortly thereafter...

Thoriq realized that Aulia was daydreaming.

' He looked sad ' Thoriq inwardly as he looked at Aulia who was looking outwards

Then, Thoriq approached his friend

Slowly, he awakened Aulia from her daydream

" Aulia...? " call for Thoriq

" Uh... Yes Riq ? "

" Hey.. Why daydream ? It looks sad too ", said Thoriq with a smile.

" Uh.. Gapapa kok Riq "Aulia replied with a thin smile

" Hm... Do not be sad Ul.., I must often come here to "enter comfort Thoriq while calming me down

Aspicuous...!

If this is the case, the days he must have gone through empty, without a friend ?

It also felt like those tears would flow profusely from Aulia's tears

But he tried to hold it all his might and tried to stare in the other direction.

But the taste was so bitter that he could no longer hold back his cries. Even so, Aulia tried to hide her cries from Thoriq with her back to her best friend.

But Thoriq realized that...

" Aulia...? You cry...? " he said, holding onto Aulia's shoulder, trying to face her friend in her direction

Aulia was unmoved, her hands covering her entire face.

" Yes... Lho.. Why cry ? Don't be sad Ul "enter Thoriq while stroking - elus his best friend's shoulder

One of Thoriq's weaknesses was that he could not see his friend grieving and crying. His heart seemed to be stoned to see that very heartbreaking sight.

Just this time Thoriq saw Aulia so violently shed tears. Maybe he felt so much sadness, because he would come back.

And that means, Aulia will be alone. Thoriq knew very well that his presence meant a lot to Aulia because she was the only person who understood so much about her best friend.

He kept trying to calm his friend by saying that he would see him often.

" It's Ul... Please don't cry.. You will say yourself that we have to be strong and cram all this with airy chest, even though we do not like "comfort Thoriq while looking fixed his best friend

Aulia started to calm down a bit...

" Dong smile." continued Thoriq with a smile.

Aulia smiled faintly

"Would you go home, right ? I'm anterine." said Thoriq.

Yep... Although their house is actually. But Thoriq just didn't want Aulia to be sad.

In front of Aulia's house...

" Ul rest yes.. You must be strong" said Thoriq patting Aulia's shoulder gently

Aulia simply nodded with a smile.

After that, he turned his back to enter the house.

But just a few steps he turned back to look at Thoriq, his best friend was still there smiling at him.
