ENDRO, THE BODYGUARD
FOR THE SECOND TIME
"My mother's children, it seems that Utami Mentari Raya is also not present today, huh?" The teacher asked after passing on his students in the class.
"Yet, Buk." Follow some of them simultaneously.
Yes, it has been six days Mentari did not enter the class without explanation.
"Mother has sent a letter to her parents yesterday, What if today we go see the situation? I'll ask the principal's permission for that." Their teacher's proposal.
"Agreed, Buk." Between them, they agreed and agreed. Only Endro seemed reluctant to speak, even though his heart was eager for it. Agree also the words of his teacher to see how the real state of Mentari, so that he does not keep thinking about the nosy girl.
Since Mentari skipped school, since then his mind was not in his body. He often daydreams and does not focus on the activities he does. Whether it's at home, or at school.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
A knocking sound rang out from their gaped classroom door. Their discussion came to a halt when they saw a girl dressed in white gray standing there.
"Content?" Scream them almost simultaneously.
"Content? Come on in, son." Call the teacher to ask the girl to come in.
"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..." Speak with a face that does not shake.
"Wa'alaikumussalam..." Endorses of the class simultaneously.
Endro stared confusedly at the pale face of Mentari's.
"What's the matter with you these past few days, Mentari? Why don't you go in, and without any evidence?" Ask the teacher when Mentari has stood up and reached his position.
"Sorry, Buk. I'm not feeling well. And no one had time to send a letter." The answer is so flat.
"Then what now? Are you better?" The teacher again looked worried about him.
"I'm okay, Buk. Can I sit down? I feel sore..." He looks cute.
"Yes, I can." The teacher seemed to be familiar with the attitude of the Mentari cold and sometimes like it.
Mentari stepped to where he used to sit, in front of Endro. However, when he was about to sit down, he almost fell down. His body that looked weak, suddenly staggered.
For the second time, Endro returned to tread honesty in the eyes of the girl, so that her heart was getting sore and suddenly felt pity just like that.
"Ciiie..." The cheers of his classmates realized they were from a dreamy drunk who was mastering their feelings and thoughts back then. With all his might, the sun pushed Endro's body. His face paled, bleeding back instantly.
Endro scrunched his forehead. His eyes narrowed slightly when the Mentari haircut child. Behind that, his eyes saw Mentari's bruised forehead.
Mentari put on a furious face. He immediately sat in his place. He slightly lowered his face to hide the truth, that his face was blushing and misbehaving.
Endro sat back in his place. It was not Mentari's attitude towards him that made him speechless. But the pain was clearly visible in the girl's eyes.
"Eh Mentari's..." Call one of them. Mentari did not answer. "Why don't you just take a day off for one more day. That way, we can see you.
Mentari still does not answer. He simply ignored the words of his friend, who then followed up on a row from his other friends to approve the words of his friend who asked him earlier.
"It's been... It's been... All of you should be grateful, because your friends have returned as they were. Why do you even want Mentari not to come in?" The teacher mediated the commotion that erupted in the classroom.
"Yes, Buk. But we'd love to get there, she's full of mystery, buk." One of them still replied in a disappointed tone.
"Yes still, you can't. Now, open your textbooks. It's been almost twenty minutes of your study time seized for this." The teacher's orders again, with no one else to dispute them.
Secretly, Endro kept an eye on Mentari from behind him.
The mentor seemed to focus on the book in front of him. Only, his thoughts continued to overshadow Endro's face that was already twice so close to his face.
Either it's comfortable, it's safe, or something. Clearly, it was very disturbing to his mind.
