Half A Heart's

Chapter 17's

"Sir, I can't count. Let alone see the formula my eyes immediately hurt sir."-Shila

After almost two weeks Mother is admitted to the hospital, finally today Mother can go home with a baby who previously had time in an incubator. The dominant baby is similar to Mother especially her eyes, duplicate eyes Mother. To this day Mother and Father have not got the idea to name their second child who has the male gender.

Because Mother's condition has not been optimal, Father decided to look for a maid who can complete homework until Mother fully recovered. Since Evan knew that Mommy should not move much, he diligently accompanied Rara, washing dishes or just sweeping the yard of the house. Because Dad is still busy with his work even occasionally out of town.

Evan did not contact his father at all, his heart was still locked tightly since the last time he knew Papa was married again. It might take some time for him to accept that.

This weekend Evan decided not to go anywhere and spent his time at home cleaning the room especially the wardrobe is really messy. Evan's movements stalled, when he found a black sweeter bearing Garfield's image on his chest. He used this sweeter while on vacation with Aunt Chess on the cliff of Moher, Ireland. At that time Evan did not want to meet Papa and deliberately chose a vacation in Limerick with Aunt Chess. Evan realized that he had not been to Ireland for a long time, a small country called 'The Emerald Country' that somehow was his birthplace.

After cleaning the clothes, Evan went out of the room and immediately had lunch and played with Rara. Mother is still a lot silent and spend herself in her room, usually Mother calls Evan for lunch, some days this call that sometimes a little disturbing was not heard.

"Rara, have you eaten yet?"

"Udah was bribed by Auntie."

Evan also plays Rara's hair that is focused on the spectacle and then starts eating her lunch.

"Have you met a suitable name yet for Rara's new sister?"

"Not yet" he replied limply and shook his head.

"Rara has no idea? Give her sister a name?"

"Rara wants Rara's sister, Oggy."

"Oggy? Why Oggy?"

"Because Rara loves Oggy, like Rara loves Rara's sister."

Evan laughs furiously at Rara's funny reply.

"Shil, you're called to the field!" tukas Aldo his classmates. Shila frowned, what is it? Even though the attributes of the ceremony were complete, instead he also checked the attributes of the younger brother class earlier. Want to not want to, Shila also headed to the main field which was still filled with students who were queuing for attribute examinations. Shila looked around who was looking for her, but everyone seemed to be busy.

"Sister Shila."

Shila also turned around, saw a classmate with glasses calling her.

"Sister is called Mr. Kurniawan, there," explained the boy's junior then pointed towards the school gate. Shila thanked him and walked quickly to the gate, knowing that there was something important. There Mr. Kurniawan was standing next to the school bus preparing to leave. Shila is getting confused, there may be OSIS data that is needed by the Father.

"What's up, sir?"

"Come on! Quick in! We are already late," said Mr. Kurniawan sarcas, as in hypnotism Shila also entered the school bus that is not as big as the bus in general. Just looking for a seat, his eyes stopped seeing two lovebirds sitting next to each other, Adit and Zerin.

Shila grew even more confused when she saw Zerin. Because Zerin went to follow the three-dimensional mading race. What was he called here for?

The feeling is starting to feel bad.

"Shil, you follow the story!"

Shila's eyes were shocked to hear Adit's words just now.

"Olim?"

Not just aghast anymore, it felt like Shila's blood had stopped flowing as well. It is impossible for someone like Shila to follow the physics Olympics, because he has never been interested in the Olympics at all, let alone hate all things related to numbers.

In the state of the bus that has been running, Shila approached Pak Kurniawan who was sitting next to the bus driver.

"Excuse me sir, I'm not at the physics olympics sir" said Shila limp.

"Who? But you're in the physics olympic ranking race."

Rank one? Physics olympiad? What other nightmares are these.

"Sir, I can't count. Let alone see the formula my eyes immediately hurt sir." complained Shila began to worry.

Mr. Kurniawan silently did not respond, he immediately checked the folds of paper in the pocket of his PNS shirt.

"Your name is Sheila Rahmadhani tenth grade IPA four right?"

"No sir, my name is Shila not Sheila."

"And I'm in the eleventh grade IPS two, not IPA," explained Shila resigned. The bus took them away from school.

Shila became the changed child of today.

***

Since the physics olympics that brought this nightmare were held in a gor far away from school, it was impossible for this bus to return to school just to drop off a Shila. Shila pleaded that she could not replace Sheila in the first rank race, so the school

The bad news is that Shila didn't bring anything here, except for the ceremonial hat that was still on her head.

After a long walk around the gorges and looking at street vendors selling various food, Shila was sitting limp under a tree that was quite far from the crowd. He squeezed his stomach, it looks like his ulcer relapsed because this morning had not had time to eat breakfast. Shila goes back to find Adit to borrow the money so that Shila can buy food that can block her empty stomach.

Shila entered the gor and saw hundreds of children dressed in white-gray uniforms sitting quietly in the audience seats encircling the gor, her steps stopping when one of the supervisors approached her.

"When did the physics Olympiad write test?"

"Sir, I want to find my friend."

"Sorry Dik before, other than the participants should not enter."

Shila also walked back through the bazaars in front of the gor, actually the pain in his stomach was more stimulating and his head terrace was so heavy. He must soon find Adit, before anything bad happens to him.

"A-Adit?" adit was eating meatballs while joking with Zerin.

"It's like being flown and then throwing it?"

Flowed a few days ago with a sweet attitude and attention.and then have fun together without knowing this miserable Shila?

Shila walked away from the crowd. Shila wanted to escape, escape from this earth if she could. His stomach and head hurt could not be held back, Shila's eyes finally gave a reaction, he cried. Crying while enduring the pain in his body and in his heart. Pathetic right? Suddenly everyone in this gor yard disappeared, Only Shila and her memory of Adit remained, the tip of her eyes darkened and her head was extremely heavy. Not to mention his stomach which from earlier did not stop asking for food.

His body fell to the ground and his life was like flying somewhere.

It doesn't end, does it?
