Dot of Pilu

54. Normal Or??

Today is the time to get back to normal. There is nothing busy like yesterday, although there is still a busy, but not as much as yesterday.

Arletha went back to class to study. Everything went as before, for today. Yes, today, but not tomorrow and beyond....

******

The day has passed so quickly. Time is increasing and eliminating the current situation into a memory.

Similarly to Arletha, she looks different. The closeness with Ica is getting closer because of the creativity they did yesterday and the strain he has with Wini because he rarely met and spoke.

Again, Arletha had also forgotten about her former mission. A desire to give the impression of "makur" to his friends. As dust is swept away by the wind, it is lost and evaporated, forgotten as the concentration of time collapses.

Wini who was indeed quiet, she just looked and smiled at what was happening. Yes, he also felt there was a difference in quality and quantity from every time he had with Arletha.

Arletha who more often gathered with Ica and Tika made him more silent in class. No one asked him to talk because he was not too close to the others, only Arletha could be close and comfortable if together.

However, whether now it can be repeated or not to see Arletha's attitude that has changed.

"What right do I have to forbid and limit the scope of his friendship. Who am I? I'm a nobody" Wini's inner rumbles.

Worry and feel lonely, but what if it is Arletha's happiness.

.

.

The more days, the more it appears that Arletha spends more time with Ica and Tika, whether it's at school or even going home from school.

The three of them seemed very engrossed in talking about any of those things. Fifi also felt this difference. But whatever the power, he wouldn't dare say that to Arletha.

Let everything be a mystery in this life and it will be revealed later, if the time is right

That's what Fifi's heart and maybe Wini say. Gee, Fifi is getting smarter, hehe.

The more days, Arletha gets stickier with Ica as well as Tika. There is no more quality time for Arletha with her old friend.

Maybe time has gone by so quickly, that even a change in attitude has been very visible.

And now when going home from school, Arletha seems not to have come home with the two new friends. There, Wini is also still sitting on his stool. The atmosphere of the class that had been quiet and only left the two of them, made Wini want to approach Arletha and invite her to chat. A longing looms within Wini

Slowly, Wini approached Arletha and said, "hi Let".

"Eh Wini, hello" replied Arletha turned a little and then busy again to finish the book again.

"Em not home yet? Yuk together" Wini tries to make small talk.

"Oh yes, no more" Arletha

"Hem, come out yuk. Where have we not been for a long time? Going to the bookstore or the park, how?" asked Wini awkwardly.

Awkwardly? It seems like it is because they have not had a conversation for some time.

"Oh sorry Win. I have an appointment with Ica and Tika. Want to go to Ica's house anyway, how dong? Or you go along" answered Arletha guiltlessly, with a happy look.

"Oh yeah, it's okay Let. Not me, you. If so, I am first. Have fun" said Wini ended the conversation with a little bitter. A conversation that feels like a long time because it does not greet each other.

"Yes Win, be careful" replied Arletha again with a wave of the hand.

There is a sense of disappointment in Wini because it is ignored by Arletha. He felt that everything had really changed.

"Maybe I'm not cool enough. Or he's just as bored as me. Huh yeah just let the important thing is that he is happy" Wini said to himself.

I don't know what will happen the next day. It's all a mystery of the universe. No one knows what the end of a story is, hopefully it will be all right for all involved.....
