Half A Heart's

Chapter 8's

"I'm being elo. The cave will not waste time, the ends of which are just for me regret." - Evano

We will find the way

To be honest make no mistake

Sometimes I pray

Tell me how to make you stay

And you always go to be the one for me

Though we'll be fine today

Have a drink for the old time

Perfect time to stay

You're my happiness

And you always go to be the one for me

As sharp as the night wind that gnaws at Evan's body, he will not be cold if while listening to a song that always warms him. Fine Today by Ardhito Pramono. This song seems to take her flying into the past while Mama is still alive. At that time, when he was six years old, as busy as any mother, he would take the time to pick up Evan after school.

"Evan, until the house help mama clean the fish pond yes," asked Mama was driving the car to go home.

"Fish pool? Must be smelly water, right ma?"

"No want! Evan won't help."

"Mending Evan played with Farel rather than having to help Mama," answered Evan innocently while imagining how smelly the fish pond water was.

Mama smiled anxiously at her son's behavior.

The brightest smile in the world. The smile that was able to make the burden on his body fly was carried by the wind towards Ethiopia and lost to time. Even though it was only seen from a yellowed sheet of photos, the smile still looked timeless. My smile belongs to Mama.

Instantly his mind stopped when he remembered Farel his little friend who until now had no news. Farel moved to Malaysia when they were 9 years old, three years after Mama died.

While exploring the complex park not far from home, Evan walked casually while putting his hands into the pocket of the jacket he was wearing, he again drowned his mind on the song Fine Today.

There were times when it rains

Just the thing, kept me sane

It's too much for a little time of fame

But you saved the day

Cause you saved the day

"What's the point of living Icha with Nadin? I kept whistling the warehouse."

"Ahh nyusahin hell!" berang Shila as she remembered she was scolded by her Mother just now. He therefore chose to leave the house to relieve his emotions. Shila leaned her back on the park bench and folded her hands together.

"Hey," said someone from his left side. Shila who felt called turned to the source of the voice.

He glared, when he realized the person who greeted him was Evano. Relaxedly Shila fixed her seat and tried to keep looking ordinary. He tried not to remember the incident when he got the WhattsApp message from Evan last time.

"Hi, Evan."

"It's Adit, right?" ask the sacred Evan.

Shila was stunned to hear the name 'Adit' dare he mention the name of the child when his mood was not good like this. Shila answered with a nod.

Without permission, Evan sat right next to Shila who was about a meter away.

Unfortunately Evan did not start the conversation again, eventually they were immersed in each other's thoughts. Silent.

"Yaudah, I'm back first," with Evan's irrational permission to say goodbye, then what's the point of him sitting next to Shila? How is there such a strange man like him?

Shila cleared her throat so Evan wouldn't go first.

"Eh, I want it for a minute."

"Hum?"

Evan frowned.

"The message you sent to me via WA the other day."

"Message? Via WA?" hearing Evan's question so made Shila even more awkward, afraid that it wasn't Evan.

Shila hurriedly checked her phone and saw the message again.

"This message," Shila pointed to Evan's standing face, as Evan bowed.

"Gue never sent that message to elo."

"Thus this isn't your number?"

Evan did not answer anything, he immediately checked his WhatsApp.

"Gue know who this is, it's not me."

"Huh? How's it?"

Evan sat back on the bench, and sighed. His eyes did not dare to look at Shila's face as intensible as this.

"On a whim, the other day he grabbed my phone and maybe he sent the message to you, "the first time Shila heard Evano Calley speak more than five words.

They went back to silence, Evan was embarrassed if he had to start a chat, Evan waited for Shila's answer more than 'Ohhhh' alone. But Shila did not say a single word.

"Keep your nights in the park?" Evan relented, it's natural law guys have to get used to 'start first'.

"Hum, I'm having a conversation with Mommy at home," explained Shila who actually needs a listener.

Evan fell silent, his gaze blankly forward.

"Mending you go home."

Shila glared at Evan's words just now, sounding like he was driving himself away.

"I'm being elo. The cave will not waste time, the ends are just for me regret."

"Deport, continue to retreat until this is not the event!" Adit grumbled because the proposal they had revised yesterday was still unacceptable to the school, he was afraid the 'big' event was not held berhubunga about three weeks they UAS.

Where could it be, hunt late!

"Too on the axis too, will not be Dit. Not long ago we UAS,"saran Hani the treasurer of OSIS.

"This aja deh Dit, mending we first focus on the same pension, I am sure fitting classmeeting school no pension," said the vice chairman of OSIS raised his opinion.

"Last year there was no pension because the tenth grade had no sudden fieldtrip. No one can promise this year the school did not retire again, "denied Adit.

"This aja deh, I'd like to come to Mr. Irham for this year there is a pensi pas classmeeting or not. Okay?" Shila finally opened her voice seeing that their discussion had no end.

"Yep, that's the only way. Ntar lo go find Mr. Irham with me yes Shil. There's something I have to talk about with Mr. Irham, too" Adit said.

"No need to Dit, I took a second break to meet his Irham sir," Shila refused, he was still upset to see Adit pretentious nyomblangin himself with Evan. Jealousy dominates Shila, how can the person Shila likes in fact match her with others.

"Jaudah, just after the second break," said Adit a little astonished to realize Shila's behavior.

"Yaudah ntar lo aja Han who nemenin Adit to meet sir Irham."

"You're classmates too, right? Let's get the business done."

"Gue go back to class first. IPS class is far from it."

Shila also swiftly compiled the OSIS files that he always carried when meeting. After saying goodbye to them, he left the OSIS room which is located next to the IPA XI class corridor and away from his class, XI IPS. Of the OSIS core team, only Shila herself is an IPS child.

Adit, Firman and Hani are IPA children and the three of them are classmates.

Of course Shila's unusual attitude makes Adit wonder.

"Don't Evan ngasi tau Shila again, if the WA message was me."
