Gone off?

Gone off?
Chapter 5 (First Meeting)



"Hello, I'm Rama's greeting." Sapa Rama with her friendly smile extended her hand at Anjani as soon as she walked out of the principal's room.


Anjani did not shake his hand directly, he looked for a moment at the hand in front of him.


"Anjani." He answered later and returned the hand.


Rama smiled to see his helping hand welcomed despite the sanctions for seeing Anjani who did not immediately welcome his helping hand.


"It's nice to meet you, hopefully we can work together in the Olympics this time." Rama said again.


However, Anjani just silently did not reply to the remark and just looked flat on Rama's face to make Rama feel awkward and embarrassed himself.


"Ehem, I'll see you in the library!" Rama said while holding the nape of his head to hide his awkwardness.


"I'll go first." He said again with a confused expression to say what else, he slowly went from before Anjani while smiling at Anjani awkwardly even though no one got a response from him.


After Rama's departure, Anjani slightly sighed and slowly stepped her feet away from the headmaster's room and walked right behind Rama's back.


A rather awkward introduction for them in the first meeting in person.


......................


The quietest and quietest room in the school is the library. The room that requires anyone to be calm and quiet, because it is a room that is commonly used by students to read or learn.


This is where Anjani and Rama used to spend their time in learning to prepare for the race.


Confidence sometimes envelops their activities. These different characters are united in the race is unexpected, although their union for the reason of both who are the smartest students in the school and also its generation.


If usually both of them do individuals in the races they usually follow, but this time the race is both paired.


"Do you feel uncomfortable studying in the school library?" In that awkward atmosphere, Rama opened a little chat in the middle of their learning activities.


Anjani stopped his activity that seemed to be writing, and directed his gaze to Rama who was right in front of him.


However, Anjani suddenly closed all her books and glimpsed the clock in her hand with a hurried expression.


"I've copied and written some, the speaker at a later time. Today I can only get here." Anjani said to Rama then rushed away while looking at the clock in his hand, which he did not even give Rama a chance to reply.


"Well, what if he looks rushed." Rama muttered to see Anjani's departure even though he actually also felt shocked by her sudden departure.


Since it seemed like it was almost afternoon, he also decided to finish and close the book again.


"It's over, I guarantee you. He said it was only an hour!" Johan's words startled Rama who came out of the library.


"I don't know for long, either, I didn't tell you to wait for me."


"Inadvertently, I was bored and again lazy to go home."


"Why else!, it must be a storm with your nephew."


"That's it, too, but I don't want to go home. I'm playing to your house, right?"


"Curtain, yasudah."


...****************...


Time passed by so quickly, and it had shown at 16:00, with heavy strides and reluctance he set foot to go home to a place he so desperately wanted to avoid, a place that seemed like hell to him.


He sat for a moment at a bus stop while looking straight at the scenery in front of him which showed the activity of vehicles passing by.


Inhaling the air of freedom for a moment before entering into the place that would strangle his neck.


Anjani, like a puppet living in his own life.
