Dusk Star

Chapter 12 Back Garden

During the night when Nai curled under the blanket for fear of rain and lightning, the phone on the nightstand rang. A message came in and Nai grumbled at her.

The unknown number in Nai's forehead was wrinkled.

Hi

Nai did not answer him immediately so the message came back in.

*Husy huh?

Who is this*?

Send, Nai finally retorted out of curiosity as well as being afraid of being alone as the lightning churned.

This is Yusuf who did this

Naila reread her message several times fearing that she might be on the wrong side.

Ogh, what's wrong, brother

No, you are busy not tomorrow afternoon I want to take the road tomorrow

To the point really this person he said in his heart but it's okay tomorrow afternoon he also has no event

I happen to be busy

I'll wait at the school gate tomorrow. Don't forget.

After that he just read the message and put his phone back on the nightstand because drowsiness seems to have come to him, he better sleep and dream of Akbar.

Shakila who just woke up felt her head was still dizzy but the heat was a little down on her forehead there was still a compressive handkerchief. Sha took the handkerchief and put the handkerchief into a basin near his bed, he tried to get up to sit down. While daydreaming suddenly his mother came to bring a tray filled with food.

“Udah wake up nduk, this mom bring breakfast. You eat first yes mom want to take warm water to want to take a shower.”

Sha's mother holds her forehead and then takes the medicine box and gives it to Sha.

“The heat has gone down but you must take the medicine again to heal, finish eating you take the medicine yes.”

Sha just nodded. His mother took the compressant basin while leaving from the shakila room. With a heavy heart Sha ate his food even though his tongue was very difficult but he forced it because today he had to go to school. She had to get sick on the second day she went to school.

After finishing eating, Sha returned to the ground while gripping his neck with a star-studded necklace. Suddenly his head felt dizzy he was like seeing a shadow of something. Ah rather than thinking about it it is better to immediately go for a bath.

After bathing Sha's body looks fresher than yesterday and the dizziness has subsided a little so he decided to go to school.

Afraid of his son why-napa finally Sha escorted the father to school. Arriving at school the situation was not crowded enough there were only a few students after getting to class he kept his bag also took his novel. Perhaps reading a novel in the back garden can improve the condition of his body as well as his heart.

Sha hurriedly walked towards the back garden and sat down on the usual chair he was sitting in. Sha began to read his novel until he was unaware that someone was sitting next to him. While reading Akbar surprised Sha, Sha shouted fortunately there was no one.

“Kak why always ngagetin anyway?” sha asked while looking at Akbar annoyed.

Akbar just laughed looking at Sha's expression. Then raise your hand to form the letter v.

“Lo why always here comfortable yes let alone the same me.”

Akbar's words slightly slapped him, he also did not know why it felt comfortable as if he had experienced such things before, befriended with the breeze and joked quietly.

“Mind daydreaming.”

“Don't know brother I'm happy here.”

“Not because I?”

Akbar raised his eyebrows to make Sha hit his arm slowly with the novel he was carrying.

“Ampun Sha, pardon deh.” Sha stopped the action and Akbar noticed Sha who was breathing, his gaze unintentionally pointing towards the star-robed necklace he was wearing.

Ctakk

Akbar grimaced when Sha hit him, seeing Sha who covered both his chest with his hand as well as the book on the back of his hand made Akbar laugh again. Stop laughing Akbar looked at Sha Seris who made Sha flutter.

“Sha I want to ask this but forget to keep?”

“Lo got that necklace from where?” ask Akbar again.

Sha started to relax his hands, his hands moved taking out the star pendulum and his face lowered to pay attention to it. Sha shook his head in response because he didn't know all of a sudden that he was putting it down. He finally told me that he got it from his mother when he was a child and found it in his drawer and then put it on now.

“Lo know I also never had a necklace like that then I love my best friend before I moved here. Unfortunately I did not get to see wearing it because fate never reunited us again,” Akbar story.

“Gue also felt heavy shock at that time even we had to move again to Jakarta to look for it. Yes, fate is playing tricks on us because the corpse or body is not found that makes us close the memory of him. Likewise with me whenever there is someone similar to him trying me to pull him off if he is no more and probably will not come back.” Akbar.

Sha did not realize that his tears had fallen little by little and unconsciously his hands stroked softly Akbar.

“That's why I don't want to be close to girls because I'm afraid I haven't been able to escape him, but.”

Sha waited for the continuation with curiosity, yes berdari who said Nai was not a lie. Remembering Nai made him remember the plan to help his best friend.

“Then I met you my thoughts changed. Although indeed lo similar to in ague comfortable close to lo.”

Degg

Since you met Akbar's thinking changed and he was comfortable near Sha.

The word uterus rotates in his brain. He returned with his mission this time.

“So far I always deny that he is gone but my mom always believed me that he was gone and always entertained me since losing Papa.” Akbar said sadly.

“Maybe it is true what the parents of the older brother said. Parents will not be able to lie to us,” Sha said with a reassuring smile even though he was not sure.

Looking at the frustrated akbar while ruffling his hair sha just smiled sweetly showing his dimples.

“Maybe he wants to tell you make move on time,” Sha's assumption that makes Akbar reflect.

“Oh yes brother Nai it likes the same older brother do not try close to Nai.”

“Can't Sha he's not my type.”

They also chatted to fill the boredom waiting for the bell, until they did not realize there were two people approaching the park.

***

When Nai arrived at school he was upset because Akbar stayed at school. While walking to class suddenly someone pulled his hand towards the back garden. Nai continued to rebel but the check in his hand was stronger than his strength until he followed him from behind. After arriving at the park behind Nai began his protest.

“Hei why the heck pull me all,” shouted Nai.

“Kak why the heck pull me all pack brought to a quiet place again. Don't mess around, sister,” threatened him by crossing both hands on his chest.

“If anyone wants a macem-macem, I just want to make sure that the way after school later so you do not reply to my message.” Nai terpenrangah heard Joseph's words.

“Gue also wants to visit my mom's birthday tomorrow . Later I pick up tomorrow at 7 pm you must be ready yes,” lanjtnya flat even though from earlier he held the turmoil so that his heart that beats fast is not heard by nai because nai staring at him so intensely.

“Eh play a whole lot who knows if I have an event,” said Nai Ketus while smearing his lips.

“Udah lo certainly no event right, rather than alone in the house mending just come. I want to go to class first. Don't forget to go home from school I wait at the gate,” his farewell while leaving Nai alone with a feeling of being arrogant.

“Hei wait,” shouted Nai while following the steps of his upperclassman who was definitely not overtaken.

“That elementary upperclassmen do not know themselves have been playing tug-of-war aja sekrang left alone again,” sukut Nai sebal.

He eventually went to class by himself. Yusuf sees Nai starting to walk to his class, not actually unwilling to take Nai to class but he is only embarrassed if he is found his heart beating fast when adjacent to Nai.

Shakila and Akbar were listening to the conversation. Sha's heart aches because the person he loves loves loves him. Sha could see it all from the perspective of Joseph to the person who looked at him lovingly as well as his treatment earlier . He leaves immediately when Yusuf and Naila have left, Sha immediately goes to the toilet to spill his grief. When he came out of the toilet, someone gave him a handkerchief.

“Remove your tears, just hold back the bell. You don't want to be thinking strange because of your worrying situation like this. Soon bell spit there into the toilet again,” said Akbar while encouraging him to go into the toilet again.

Sha accepted that shyly. Sha did not realize that he was with Akbar. Really Sha felt very embarrassed because it had been caught twice Akbar was crying.

It was Akbar who gave her that handkerchief. He also did not know why he could act like this. Suddenly his heart breaks to see Sha crying a second time for some reason. While still confused by Nai's closeness to Yusuf, Sha suddenly wandered and entered the toilet with a tremble.

Akbar waited until Sha came out of the toilet and she gave him a handkerchief that he always carried . Seeing Sha come out of the toilet with a good condition not like before, made Akbar invite him along to class because the bell has rung.

Akbar was lucky because his teacher had not entered, he glanced at Yusuf who looked more cheerful. Where is that expressionless face, Akbar thought.

After finishing her hair and face, Sha went back to class. Which fortunately turned out in his teacher's class had not come that made him able to breathe freely. Sha sat on his bench with Bila. While Nai sat in front of him and next to him was Suci as his countryman who was their friend when Mos.

“Eh sha lo where are you from?” ask if you are curious because it is not usually sha come late.

Although Bilaa had seen Sha's bag on her stool but she did not see Sha's nose. Sha also only replied with a brief smile to make Bila surprised by the behavior of his best friend. Honestly Sha doesn't want to talk to anyone at this point.

Fortunately, not long ago the history teacher entered. According to the older class, the history teacher was one of the killer teachers in SMa.

“For children , for this lesson we will only introduce.”

The children were flabbergasted because the teacher did not like pleasantries, even so they still answered his teacher's greeting.

“Morning bu,”answered children in unison.

After Bu Anita - the name of the history teacher - introduced herself now it was the turn of the students to start introducing themselves. After finishing Bu Anita discussed a little about the history lesson. Bu Ani also explained why history is important in everyday life.

Carrying the maish like other historical teachers makes children who are sleepy to want to sleep hear the explanation of Bu Anita. There are even those who continue to yawn and sleep with books as a barrier. Before long the break bell rang, the bored children were cheerful again like getting a crumbling durian.

“Sha, come to the canteen,”tajak Nai.

“Gak ah is still full and also bring lunch. Lagian still want to continue reading the novel,” reject it smooth while smiling sweetly.

“Ah is cool. Yaudah yuk laper nih,” said when while holding Nai's hand to leave class.

Shakila was alone in class because her friends went to the cafeteria. Sha started taking out the novel from inside his bag, but he remembered the grand handkerchief that was still kept in him. He also took it, seen the handkerchief is a handkerchief hand stitching itself which may be made specifically Akbar. Behind the handkerchief, after looking around it turns out that underneath there is a writing

“Star,” said slowly .

His memory faintly revealed a pair of little children running around and..

Arghh his head became ill.

He better just drown his head in the folds of his hand.

***

On the other hand Akbar continued to think about the toilet incident earlier, if seen Shakila was very similar to his little friend even though it was impossible because his best friend was somewhere now. While daydreaming, someone came to him.

“Bar don't forget tomorrow you invited me to his birthday party. 7:30 should be there already. Do not forget the mamah bar will definitely be seneng if you dateng,” said yusuf after it passed out of his class.

Akbar simply nodded and recalled the events of class x. When Akbar and Yusuf became rivals because they were always competing in subjects and also in the escraculular field. The enmity collapsed when it turned out that their parents knew each other.

Yusuf is the older brother of a friend who has been living in Bandung with his grandmother, Akbar deserves to never see Yusuf when playing at his home in Jakarta. And his little friend never told him that Joseph was his older brother, he only told me that he had an older brother.

Given that it makes Akbar think the world is very narrow because the person who became his rival when the High School was the brother of a close friend. Until from there they became friendly and began to stretch their hostility, not even rarely play together like other teenagers. Both families remain familiar. Therefore, Joseph might invite her to his mother's birthday.

Why could he forget that tomorrow there is a birthday celebration of his mother Joseph .

This game where Akbar has not bought any more gifts and the show is also later tonight. Akbar panic and confused should ask who to accompany him to buy gifts. He is a man and Akbar has never bought a gift for a woman. Huh let Akbar think he said in his heart. Aha why not invite Sha because if he invites Nai, the child will be kegeeran again, but if sha does not want how, ah that's a business later.

The important thing is to go home from school later he must persuade Sha to want to menmeanannya buy gifts for his best friend's parents. The friend he always missed. Akbar smiled with satisfaction about the plan.
