First Love "In April"

ZIRA

"Rii... Wake up you're not in school, son?" ask my mother faintly in my ears.

" Riri can take a day off, Mom? anyway at school don't learn" I said.

"why take a holiday?".

" Riri's not feeling well mom" I said.

" Yaudah".

"Hehe thank you ma'am" I said to Mom from the blanket.

Today I decided to stay home, because it would be a shame for me to come and be the center of attention for every eye that looked at me curious about the last night that happened between me and Caca.

I looked at the morning dew stuck on the glass window of the room which slowly disappeared as the sun began to appear.

My mind was still circling with all the words of Caca ringing in my ears.

" who the hell is calling?" I said little, asking myself.

"somewhat wrong if you like to like.. Ain't it!" Add me by moving to sit from my sleeping position still using Hoodie toska.

" put on the slap show all, try if not many who see will I reply" while clenching hands I bite my lips.

"Rii. said your mother isn't feeling well?" ask the father who suddenly opened the door.

" ahh yeah yeah... Riri's body was a little carefree" I said slowly as I turned back to lay my body facing the room window.

" the hell time?" father said as he placed his hand on my forehead.

" but it's not hot" Dad added.

"it's really well" I said trying to convince you.

" yes yes.. Then eat yes, Daddy works first" said Dad who then left me.

I looked back at the window of my room enjoying every incoming sunlight and feeling a little calmness,

"what about monday?" My mind suddenly recalled about yesterday's matter.

"aaaahhh" my ringis while rolling my body with Risau on my bed.

The dim sunlight changed with the overcast sky that came suddenly, small specks came pouring down on all the surfaces of the earth. The cool air penetrated into the blanket that wrapped my body, still staring outwards, I was struck by the shadow of Raidil that flashed through my mind.

" ihh. not the original, not the shadow, both like to come suddenly "my words in the heart with a smile.

"have missed it, but only today did not meet" I added while leaning back sitting with my hands hugging my knees.

Tok..

"Have you not eaten?" asked Mom to open my door.

" well, ma'am" I said.

" Mom tipped Zira can? I want to go to Aunt Imah's place" said Mother with Zira who was standing right behind Mom's feet.

"Yes ma'am, be careful" I said as I got up walking towards Zira and carried her.

"Mother stay yaa" said the mother and passed away leaving Me and Zira.

"let's go deck, we eat first" while holding Zira I'm heading to the dining table.

"Zila wanted to. zila wanted to" said an exasperated Zira turned to the sausage stuck in my dinner fork.

" Okay, this is for zira".

Zira greedily ate all the food she had in her grasp.

After eating, Zira and I lay back in the room, after playing with all her toys, Zira slept.

" it's so pretty on the deck" I said anxiously as I moved Zira from the floor to the top of my bed.

Drrrttt. dddrr..

Shaking my phone on the table shocked me, I walked over and held it in my hand.

"Raidil" said I read the name of who called me.

" Ri" she said a little whispering

" em.. What's up, Dil?" ask me.

" why not school?" he still whispered a little.

" not feeling well" I said.

" why are you whispering that?" ask me curious.

" again in class" he said.

" carry a cell phone?" ask me in shock.

"Ssttt, huddle-pumpet" he said a little laugh.

"kangen Ri" said his short-sounding ear.

" Same" I said quietly with a blush.

" come home later can we play?" ask him to me.

" em yes".

" yaudah I'm closing the phone" Raidil said.

" Oh okay" I said briefly and shortly after that our phone disconnected.

I closed my eyes with a smile to describe my happiness in the morning before noon, then I looked at Zira who was still sound asleep and slowly left her to go to the bathroom.

"fyuhh..it was cold" as I rubbed my hands looking for warmth.

I looked back at Zira, "have you not woken up yet? " i said as I put a blanket on Zira's tiny body.

***

Right standing in front of the mirror, I looked at my reflection with a flat look.

at a glance the shadow of Raidil and Caca began to come to me and make Me compare myself with Caca.

If in view of beauty I will be very much inferior to Caca who is very beautiful even at the same time smart, not with me.

I also started to question what made Raidil like me?

"Don't tell me later I'll be bullied by Raidil's family who don't like me, or I'll be paid to stay away from Raidil or maybe Raidil will be taken abroad so he can't meet me" my wild shadows were created.

"crazy you Ri, mostly read drama novels anyway" I said in my heart while shaking my head.

"Assalamualaikum" greeting someone familiar sounded.

"waalaikumsalam" I walked out to see who was coming.

"oh. enter Dil" welcome me.

"ah yes." Raidil came in and sat down and put some drinks and small snacks on the table.

" a moment" I said, leaving Raidil in the room.

I looked at myself in the mirror and smoothed a little polish on my lips and took a deep breath.

Before going outside to see Raidil I looked back at Zira who was still asleep with a slight smile.

" how empty is Ri? Where's Dad's mom?" ask Raidil.

" ah Daddy's working, Mom's out" I said.

" you're alone?" he added.

" no, there's Zira in the bedroom again "my mouth.

Shortly after, Zira whines as she wakes up from her sleep.

" bear yes Dil" I passed leaving Raidil to the room.

" get up Dek" I said as I held Zira who was rubbing her eyes and then walked back outside with Zira.

Raidil gave a warm look when he saw me back with Zira.

"why is that ngeliatin" I asked without daring to return his gaze, he said,

while Zira is still in my arms.

" same sister is equally beautiful" he said.

"what the hell.." said I'm teased.

"hahaha seriously "Raidil laughed.

" do believe me" I said.

Raidil looked back at me.

" don't squirm I keep" said I with cheeks that began to pink.

" yee ge er, people I saw Zira really" he said laughing.

for a moment I bowed shyly looking towards Zira.

"about Zira would not if I were the fat one?" Raidil.

"want to try?" sahut.

without Raidil's cue coming towards me, his hand reached for Zira and we accidentally touched each other which made our eyes clashed against each other.

That afternoon, even without sunlight, became warmer because of Raidil, I again forgot the problem that had just happened to me and Raidil yesterday.

We seem to enjoy every moment that happens, today may not be the same as yesterday or tomorrow, so as much as possible I will make everything meaningful.
