Dreams of Devi

Longed Love

"Such a fragrance, yeah. Who wears perfume early in the morning?"

I only smiled when Rehan noticed the fragrance of the fragrance oil I left behind. Maybe in the next few days, the liquid thing I bought a few months ago and rarely use it will work a little.

"I'm actually pretty, aren't I, Re?" I asked Rehan as both hands held cheeks.

"Why ask me that, Mommy?"

"Yes, papa, anyway. Just ask."

"Mom once said, all women are beautiful. When you forget?"

"Yes, Re. Where are you going, Re?"

"So he said he'd go to the rice field for a minute."

"Yes, I'm leaving first. That's fried rice on your ration table, same father, yeah."

"Okay, Ma'am."

This morning I was so excited to go to school. If only Alwi really liked me, wouldn't that be good, then my race would be together. Ah, it feels like I want to see Alwi soon.

"Devi, wait!"

On the way, I heard a very familiar voice calling my name. I turned to the source of the sound and it was Alwi who was also pedaling a bicycle. Hmm, he made me heart gymnastics this morning.

"You used to leave at this hour?" ask me to start a conversation.

"Yes around this hour. It's a long way to school" he said.

I wanted to be clear about the chocolate she gave me. But I feel ashamed of myself. The rural streets in the morning were still very quiet, I was right beside Alwi. The slightly potholed and muddled path made me have to be careful. Do not let me hit the water puddle that will later harm myself.

"Emmm ... Alw!"

"Devi!"

Well, why can we call each other at the same time like this.

"You go first" said Alwi.

I like guys like this. Isn't that a sign that he values women? Actually, I was going to ask you about the chocolate. However, my tongue was confused and it was hard to start asking that question.

"Your PR is done?" my many.

"Oh, math? Already, dong! Before going home from school yesterday I immediately worked," he replied.

"Oh, that one yesterday?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Looks like a good time to explore the chocolate problem.

"Are you besides doing what kind of job you are doing?" godaku tried to lure him.

"I? No doubt," he said with a shy smile that was held back.

"Times?"

"Yes, I'm done with school, right? Same with you."

All right, not confessing yet. When I get to school, I'll interrogate him.

****

"Why park there?" alwi asked as soon as I realized I was parked away from his bike.

Although leaving in the morning, I have subscribed to put the bike on the front. The goal is none other than to make it easy to get it out when you go home later.

"Let's not hard to get out of it" I explained.

Alwi came up to me and grabbed my bike. The blue bicycle was then led by Alwi to be next to his bicycle.

"Please, I'll help you out." I just nodded.

As usual, the school is very quiet. There are no other teachers or students except me and Alwi. Also on the north side is a gardener cleaning the yard.

"Still quiet" said Alwi slowly.

"It's only six and a quarter" I said.

"I want a picket. It's my schedule." Now." Alwi took one broom in the janitorial closet.

"You want to wipe the floor?" I'm a little bit off.

"Yes, why? Can't you?"

"No, usually boys prefer to remove the whiteboard or throw away the trash, this tumben want to wipe."

"I'm used to cleaning up at home."

"Oh, so. I'm going to the bathroom first, Al."

Nothing suspicious, Alwi looks still sweeping the floor. I'm still watching his movements. He also looked dazedly observing around. Alwi then took something from his bag and sure enough he headed for my stool.

I'm still waiting for the right time, let Alwi get back to his activities. As soon as that time came, I entered the classroom approaching my stool.

"This is from you, Al?" I asked to take the package that Alwi had placed. Well, my friend was a wave.

"Yes" he answered nervously.

"Yesterday from you?"

"What?"

"Chocolate," I replied with a slight smile.

"You know?"

"Yes, I ate last night. Thanks, yeah!"

"Lho, are you loved by Nindi?"

"Nindi?" I'm rattled.

"Yes, I love Nindi."

"Lho, not for me?"

Well, there seems to be a mistake. I'm ashamed of myself like this. Where I have eaten, especially I have been carried away by feeling.

"Later change! really!" panicked emphatically. The package that Alwi just put me back to him.

"So that was your book yesterday?"

"Oh, sorry, yeah, Al. I thought it was really you loving me."

"I'm the one who's sorry, Dev. I just left yesterday," said Alwi.

"Sure, I'll change the chocolate."

"No, Dev!"

"I'll just change. I'll go to the bathroom first" I said.

"Lho, wasn't that in the bathroom?"

"My stomach hurts, I have to go to the toilet again" I explained by lying.

I ran out of class. The school corridor was still deserted and my tears just poured out. I want to scream at myself. Even some of the students who started coming over I didn't care. They may be surprised to see me running and crying.

The bathroom door slammed hard. The water faucet I accidentally lighted the soupayan disguising the sound of my crying. Wanting to be angry, embarrassed, and most severe heartbreak. Why can I be so confident that I think Alwi likes me. In fact, it is very unlikely to happen.

I glanced at the watch on my left hand. I don't feel like ten minutes the bell rings. I don't want to leave here yet. It felt like my chest was still claustrophobic from being shaken by my own expectations. I washed my face with water, perhaps later to wipe away the rest of my tears.

"Woi, isn't there anyone, anyway, inside?" I was shocked when someone knocked on the door from the outside. I'm no stranger to her voice, like the voice of Aryani, my classmate.

"Well," I replied nervously.

"Oh, Devi. Replace, dong! Not finished yet?"

Well, I'm getting scared. When I open the door later, it might be the moons of the person.

"Udah, really. Wait, yeah!"

I opened the door slowly. Aryani who was right in front of the door smiled back at me.

"Why so long? Stomach pain?" tanyakanya.

"L-yes!"

"Should've permission if it hurts. Your eyes are red, too."

"Sorry, yes, Yan," I said.

"Actually I just want to wash my face, hihihi." Aryani laughed a little.

"I'm first, Yan!"

"You were wanted by Nindi" said Aryani.

"He's looking for me?"

"Yes. You were in the canteen."

"No, I'm here."

"Let's go home first, Dev. You really are not healthy. Your face is red too."

My body is healthy actually, but my heart feels hurt, Yan!
