First Love "In April"
THE VIEW THAT MEETS
"ssttt. hunt" Ema and Lila whisper from the classroom door to call me and Della.
our friendship with the Four has been very familiar since the First High School, and finally we decided to go back to the same School for reasons that do not want to separate, yap.. reasons that some people think are less plausible.
Della and I rushed out, and as usual we would sit in front of an empty classroom located not far from my classroom.
"Rii there's a greeting from Irfan" shouted someone abruptly from the direction of the class just above us.
Since I had no idea they were screaming back so I became the center of attention for some other students.
"Rii any greetings from Irfan, no greetings?".
"What the hell" I said confused in my heart because this was my first experience.
Meanwhile Della, Ema and Lila simultaneously looked at me by saying "cieeeee Riri" was taunting me.
"let Rii take it" said Lila.
"ho'oh, Irfan is good for his people," added Ema.
"you know?" ask me briefly.
"yes know, he's in class with us" Lila explained
I fell silent, and stared up while occasionally returning Irfan's smile that was staring at me.
a sweet smile with mature brown skin and a warm gaze becomes a charm that is in Irfan.
"so how's Ri?" want no?" ask Lila.
" what about dreaming?" della said with a hand that passed in front of me.
"uh..what?" I said a little surprised.
"want you?" lila once again asked.
"Gak ah, I'm not ready for that anyways I don't know Him either" I said.
"yes, we are really up to you, Rii" replied Ema representing the others as if they understood my unattractedness to Irfan.
Long enough I became the center of attention of the other students because of the screams and taunts of Irfan's friends who tried to match me with her that made my feelings begin to mix between shame and a little upset, Irfan, but I can't do anything, because if I defend myself or even take out a word it will only make things more crowded.
***
The next morning, after the first lesson, as usual, I would just sit on my bench while Della was jostling in the cafeteria.
As I enjoyed my solitude, someone suddenly shouted from the window behind me quite loudly.
"Oh this is the person Irfan likes, quite good as you are Fan" said a woman who peeked out of the back window that I did not know who he was.
meanwhile, students from other classes who knew Ifran also shouted "cieeee Irfan".
and all I did could only bow down in shame while covering my face with both hands, I was even confused as to what to do, this is all I could do, I said, I did not even have the courage to reject Irfan directly because up to this point Irfan had never even once invited me to talk or just talk.
After I felt it was getting quiet outside, I opened my hands and just then I did, I saw Raidil walking towards his stool right across from me, only with a thin smile that he pinned on his lips was able to make my heart beat back abnormally.
" my heart".my heart" said I inwardly with a slight coarse breath to let out the tightness in the chest due to this beating.
in short, After a long time Irfan feelings I never ignored, the atmosphere of chaos between Me and Irfan began to disappear like in time.
no more "cie.cie "no more words"shoot" that I hear often and make me more reluctant to leave class. from the beginning I found out that just looking for this can put a damper on everything that makes me uncomfortable.
In a place like always I and my friends sit down to spend hours of rest, and, we saw Irfan and some of his friends passing right in front of us with faces that could be said to be stiff with no expression glancing at me, the warm smile that had always adorned her lips now changed with a casual look as if nothing had happened.
I perfectly understood why it could happen, even I felt a little guilty with my indifferent attitude to his feelings.
" Irfan, what's his face? " Task Ema with eyes that have turned to look at me.
"let's go Ma" I replied as I opened the page of a book that I just opened without reading.
"You are what Maa is not sensitive to be a person" said Della.
"emang" said Ema.
"Udah. mending do not need to be discussed" said I.
Understanding my words, they then fell silent and we got back to being cool with our chatter about other things.
In front of the empty classroom where we spent hours resting, it might have been my hobby to sweep the view to the corner of the school.
There, Raidil runs from left to canan trying to escape from his friends while dribbling a basketball that was in his hands.
"No heat, play at this hour" I said in my heart.
"Rii see who the hell?" della asked with her hands passed by before my eyes that were staring at Raidil.
"there is nothing" I answered briefly.
"Udah yuk.we go back to class," while standing Ema wagging her long skirt, and Bell heard go into the next hour.
While walking towards the classroom, my eyes were still fixed towards Raidil on the basketball court who had started to stop playing.
As her steps began to lead to the same class as me, I also lowered my gaze from her who unintentionally looked at me,"aih?" my heart seemed to awaken my behavior.
Della and I paused in front of the classroom entrance, letting Raidil and his friends in first, and we followed right behind them.
"Astagfirullah you stink of sweat tau!" said Della while covering her nose with the tip of her hijab.
"Huuu. barin" boasted one of Raidil's friends.
"soot, take a shower" said Della.
" uh.. Del, this school is not home can play go shower so" said firmly.
" there is also no shower towel" added firmly.
" wear your clothes for the towel" said Della.
" it's Dell" I said as I pulled Della's hand back onto the bench.
After arriving at our seats, my eyes accidentally glanced at Raidil who was busy rummaging through his desk drawer like looking for something.
"can!" he smiled when he found a book.
I smiled at Raidil who was also smiling when he found a book to make a simple fan.
a gust of wind from Raidil's fan crossed slowly all the way to me, returning my lyrics to Raidil and accidentally meeting our gaze.
"aah.sory sory, smell ya?" he said while stopping his fan.
"What's wrong, go on" I said.
"no, it's not hot" he said smiling kindly.
" certain? it's still a warning" I said with a faint smile staring at Raidil's uniform that was slightly soaked in sweat.
After a full moon, even though we were in the same class for the first time He started a conversation between us, and as usual my heart beat would increase its speed without any command from me.
just looking at him and seeing him smile would all be abnormal for me.
