For Me And Him
30
POVs Rintamy.
I stirred the juice in a glass, already fifteen minutes we just sat and fell silent in the hospital cafeteria.
Virgo kept looking at me very closely. I don't know what's on his mind, but I saw his eyes twinkle differently this time.
Like there is a wound, there is disappointment and there is also sadness that tries to disguise it.
"Why look at me? poor huh?" I asked with a bitter smile.
Virgo shook his head, he changed his sitting position to be more upright.
"Tamy you know why I don't like short-haired girls?" Soft question.
"Why?" Asking back.
"Because I don't want to be said to be dating the same kind. But look at you short hair, I know something" he said softly.
"Know what?"
"If short hair girls can be cute and also very sweet," he said with a big smile.
I bowed my gaze and blushed in embarrassment. At this moment, even he still had an idea to flirt.
"Gombal, you're just a sloth," I said embarrassedly.
"Don't believe it? try to ask all the men here, he must say you are cute," he replied gently.
I smile back, I look into Virgo's eyes with sadness. Virgo, this time I'm helpless. I am powerless against this, I hope you will understand.
"Virgo," call me shrewd.
"Tamy, this Saturday there's a futsal match. I'll pick you up, yes, you support me from the sidelines."
"Virgo," call me back.
"When are you going to school again? Shela is lonely without you" said Virgo back.
I took a breath and looked towards Virgo. I know, right now Virgo is not wanting to hear anything from me.
"Virgos."
"Yes, there is new news. You want to know?" Virgo asked with a big smile.
"Virgo, listen to me first" I said a little annoyed.
"Shela and Donny have finally been together" said Virgo.
I took my breath back and grabbed the corner of my forehead, sometimes Virgo is very difficult to talk to when he acts like this.
"Virgo,"
"Tamy, I ..."
"Virgo! listen to me first!" I snatched a little hard.
At once Virgo fell silent and looked fixedly at me. Her smile instantly faded when she saw the expression on my face that was extinguishing.
"Please, listen to me!" Press me gently.
"I don't want to hear anything because I don't want to go back to school. I can't give you support when you're fighting futsal. I don't want to know how Shela is, because I'm not going to come back to your side anymore" I said without pause.
I took a breath that was hunting very hard. I need energy to explain this to Virgo.
I also can't keep this up, Virgo I beg you this time to understand. Don't force me to come back, because even if I want to go back. I have lost my way.
I lost track of myself, because the Tamy you met two years ago and the Tamy in front of you today are no longer the same.
"I'm not coming back, Virgo. Stop lying to yourself and don't look for me anymore" I said as I stood up and left.
"Who's lying to yourself, Tamy?" Ask Virgo gently.
I stopped my steps when I heard Virgo say.
"We're all acting like normal, but you're distancing yourself. We all love you and consider you a friend. But it is you who show us off and forget us. You can go, but you don't have the right to see us, Tamy." Virgo got up and followed my steps.
"Tamy, you can't care about us. But you can't prevent us from not caring about you. You can lie to yourself, but we can't. We are sincere when we are friends, no matter what their circumstances. So," Virgo put his lips to my ears.
"It's up to you to do what, but you can't stop us. You are selfish, we can be selfish too. You stay away we can also come closer. Just do what you like, but don't let us do what we like either."
Virgo went right away after saying that to me. I watched his back which kept passing away.
Yeah, I know you're sincere with me. I also know you guys won't leave. But I, I'm the one who's gonna leave you.
Sooner or later, I'm the one who's gonna leave you guys, man.

"Sister Tamy, I also want a black one," Sahara asked by thrusting black origami paper at me.
"Awhile, I'm ready to have Zoel first" I replied by folding the last wings of a small origami bird that I brought specially for them.
"Sister Tamy, make a lot of ya. I'm gonna hang this in my room later" Sahara asked.
"Do you dare pay dearly? I'm making this not free, you know," I said seductively.
"What if with that, brother?" Point the Sahara behind me.
I turned my head, looking in the direction the Sahara pointed. I scrunched my forehead, when I saw the huge pile of balloons.
"A lot of balloons, I want to, too," said Zoel by looking at the entire white balloon.
I noticed the feet standing up while holding the balloon. Why are there so many balloons here?
Is there a birthday? why so many balloons?
"Hi Tamy." A head poked out from behind the dozens of balloons.
"Shela, how come you're here?" Manya surprised.
"I also have tablets, Tamy," said Donny, who came out from behind the balloons.
"Me too, hi Tamy," Jerry continued.
"Don't forget us too, Tamy." One by one my friends came out of the balloons.
I let go of my smile when I saw the atmosphere becoming crowded for a moment.
"What's wrong? why are you all here?" I ketus.
"Who said I was here? must be Virgo?" Asking back.
"Not, but me" replied another man, who came out the last moment from the balloons.
"Sir Riyu" I said in shock.
Why could it be sister Riyu? I think it's all Virgo. How could it be sister Riyu who prepared all this.
"Why would you tell them all that I'm here?" Jutek.
"Who brought them to you?" Replied Brother Riyu who walked over to me.
"Continue?" I ketus.
"I brought them here to propose to my woman" replied Brother Riyu who continued to walk closer to my seat.
"Well!"
As soon as I gaped wide, not wrong? sister Riyu wants to propose?
Apply who?
Me?
