Hours of study are over, time to rest.


Ira usually sits on her stool. But at that moment, he immediately left the classroom in a hurry.


Maybe Anggi doesn't know Ira very well. But they've been friends since they got in, so he understands a little bit about Ira's feelings just from her gestures.


Anggi immediately got up from his seat, followed Ira and was followed by Iki.


"Where?" ask Iki.


"At the top, there's a problem in them!" anggi said running small.


Then Iki went back to class not following them both.


"Where's the number? ask Rendi to Iki.


"Ira's next to the top, but eehh asked diem! again problem solving."


"What problem?"


"Don't know, Anggi will also be a story."


Rendi simply nodded and sat outside the classroom together with the others.


*


Ira walks into the rooftop, she often comes there when she feels there is no comfortable place in school.


When his feelings are not good, especially filled with sadness that leads to anger. The only reason he avoided was so that, when someone asked him to joke and Ira was not joking, no bad words would come out of his mouth.


Ira stood silently staring at the sky. It just so happened that the weather of the day was a bit cloudy, so despite sitting for a long time above the two of them would not be overheated.


"Raaa?" yell Anggi.


Ira turned towards Anggi.


"Ko here?"


"What's the matter Ra?"


"It's okay."


"Sit down." Anggi pulls Ira's hand towards the corner next to an old banyan tree that grows from the bottom reaching the top (rooftop). That's where they used to sit, at least if it was hot or raining the tree could be a shelter.


"Ahhh cloudy and windy weather. It really makes a little bit of a comfortable feeling."


"What's the matter Ra?" ask Anggi again.


"No papa ko."


"Here is nothing!"


"There's nothing!"


"Loying the world, taking refuge behind the word "Gapa." forced himself to look happy. When are you gonna get?"


"This horror!" Ira looked at Anggi.


"Have you ever been in a position to endure pain, but gone the hard thing?" continued.


"I don't know what your problem is and what do you mean? but this is a hard choice."


"I'm tired if everything has to be pendem alone, I'm also tired of thoughts that I shouldn't think."


"Don't be a hypocrite, you're just a human, you need a hug, you need to tell a story, it's only natural that you feel tired, occasionally yelling at the world that you're "not okay.


Ira stared at Anggi.


"I'm tired, I need a hug." Ira with teary eyes.


"I want to complain, I'm not okay." continued Ira.


"Yah jangaaanan!!" Anggi approached and the two of them immediately embraced.


"Aaahhhhh hhuuhhuuhh capeeee!!" Ira was crying.


"She's crying." Anggi rubbed Ira's back.


At that time Anggi joined in crying because this was the first time since they were friends he saw Ira crying, especially now in the arms of anggi.


Although in the heart of Anggi is still wondering what is the problem and what is the problem? but this time he held it back letting Ira cry first for her composure.


*


Ari dropped out of her class, went straight to Ira's class and saw that she wasn't there. Back again approached Rendi who was sitting in front of the class.


"Where is Iki?" ask Ari to Rendi.


"Kantin kali, you know what Ira is?"


"Yes Ira, I'm not in class. Where's where?"


"The same as Anggi."


"Oh yes I'm following!" Ari walked up.


And Rendi just let it go.


After arriving, from a distance look Anggi and Ira who are hugging.


Ari stops letting the two of them, as she also sees that Ira is crying.


"Why the hell?" ari was astonished.


Silently waiting. Because he loves Ira and this is also the first time seeing Ira cry is frustrating. Want to know the cause and feel the sadness too.


*


"Tired doesn't mean to give up, does it?" said Ira.


"Thank you for trying to understand."


Take off the hug and go back to sit wiping the tears, taking a deep breath.


"Aren't I pretty?" Ira asked while glancing at her phone.


"Haha could."


"Truly ask me?"


"You're beautiful, you're precious."


"That word makes me want to cry!"


"Jangaaaaan, someone is waiting!" anggi has seen Ari.


"What?" tanya Ira looked in the same direction.


"There's Ari, am I leaving?"


"Ko?"


"Don't cry!" Anggi stood up and became a gesture to Ari that their business was done.


Anggi smiled as he walked away from Ira.


When I met Ari.


"Why?"


"Ask!"


Ira saw Ari walking over.


"What to answer?"


"Hey?" Ari sat next to him.


"What?"


"Can you cry?"


"I'm human."


"Want to eat meatballs?" Ari smiled.


"Haha, you want to." Ira laughed because she didn't think that was what Ari would say.


"Ko laugh?"


"Not usually people like a lot of questions if you see a cry?"


"It's actually a lot, but I know it's gonna make your pain worse."


"Thank you." Ira looked at me smiling.


"So how? want to eat meatballs now?"


"This eye is still red later to be the center of attention."


"You're the center of attention."


"Oh yeah? why?"


"A lot of beautiful women in this school, but you're the most attractive!" Ari teases who actually means to entertain.


"Oh yeah?"


"That's why I want you."


"Haha yes!"


"But, give me a few minutes. Don't talk, do you?" Ira looked around.


Ari just stared at Ira.


"This strong man is crying." Ari said in his heart.


Although Ira is closed to her personal problems, but all of her friends are aware of the problems in her home. Especially about her relationship, her mother and father. Often they think that when Ira is in trouble it must be about her parents.


They were amazed to see a banyan tree swaying in the wind, then the vast sky began to darken indicating the rain this time might be very heavy. It will likely be accompanied by lightning.

"Why?" ask Rendi to Anggi.


"No, later." reply Anggi to go to class.


"Where's ira?" ask Iki.


"Sama Ari on top."


"Why?"


"Not told me anything yet cry doang."


"Ira cry?" tanya Iki was astonished.


"Ira cry?" ask Randy too.


"It's a hiccup, but don't tell me what's the problem yet?"


"Hmmm yes, wait for him to tell me. If asked, I won't answer."


"Yes I feel that the problem is heavy. It's all hard but what makes Ira even harder is that she keeps it all alone, never tells anyone.


Yes, I also know, sometimes there are people who find it difficult to express all the problems in their lives just because they are confused where to start?"


"It looks ordinary but saves everything!" iki.
