Half A Heart's

Chapter 9's

"Are they quieter than I saw?"-Evano

"So how does the response fit know if it's me who is a prank?"

"He was quiet, I was quiet too."

"Continue?" assault Adit again who is still not satisfied to hear the answer from Evan.

"Gue said, we're quiet. No more talking about that message, "groan said.

Adit was silent at Evan's words, he threw his gaze in the other direction.

To be honest, Evan was confused as to why Adit was worrying too much about Shila. Whoa! Adit already has a girlfriend, why worry about other girls. His bad thoughts arise because there is an unacceptable seeing Adit care about Shila.

"By the way, why are you worried that Shila is angry?" ask Evan to the point.

"Gue's? Worrying? be not. I'm kepo doang Van,"

"Shila, angry with the color, horrified. It's not the guy."

"The OSIS affair is not too complicated if he is angry," Adit replied to give an explanation again.

Their conversation was stopped when Mr. Ade, their physics teacher entered the classroom. An easy lesson for someone with a high IQ, one that Evan hates most. His brief chat with Shila that night managed to fill his head.

"Why do I think he's mute anyway?"

"Gue suspects that Adit and Shila have more relationships than friends."

"Are they legal? Or are they a gang?"

"But all this time, I never met Adit and Shila hangout together."

"Are they quieter than I saw them?"

"Woi! Bengong. What do you think?" Adit nudges Evan's shoulder which makes him shocked.

Evan scratched the end of his head that was not itchy.

"Where was Ade ulasin?" avoiding questions from Adit.

"Sampe genes and hereditary traits," Evan innocently nods and opens his physics book.

Adit covered his mouth with a tie and held back his almost bursting laughter.

"Aditha!" call Mr. Ade in a loud voice making all the students look towards Adit.

"Why do you think of yourself? Is there anything funny about my lesson?" ask Mr. Ade with his sacred question.

Adit was concerned to hear Mr. Ade's question, he tried to find a reason to escape the attack of Mr. Ade.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

A student knocks on the door of the XI IPA 2 class. All the students including Mr. Ade looked towards the source of the sound.

"Excuse me sir, can I see Evano?"

Hearing his name being mentioned from next door, Evan was wailing in curiosity as to who was looking for him.

"Shila's voice, how come she can start?" lontar Adit who has memorized the voice of Shila.

Evan glared when he heard Adit's words, he himself did not know why.

" Evano, someone is looking" said Mr. Ade and allowed Evan to meet the student who was looking for him.

Shila was standing there leaning her body on the pole. When Shila found out that Evan was at the door, Shila smiled.

"Yes?" asked Evan coldly.

"Gue can borrow something?" shila asked with a slightly clear face.

"What?"

"Lo bring the Cultural Arts package? After this hour I have a Arts Culture class."

"And I forgot to bring a book" he continued. Evan was silent for a moment recalling whether today he had any Arts and Culture lessons.

"Some, I'll take it for a second."

Before long Evan also came with a chocolate-covered Cultural Art book that he held.

"It's a long way from the book minjem."

"Gue reason permission to the OSIS room, even though I'm looking for this book."

"Borrow yes!"

Shila passed too. Forming a crescent moon on Evan's face, he is happy to finally be close to the girl. The jolly girl he met at the minimarket. Ah, a thousand thanks is not enough because the minimarket has become the place where they met.

***

The school bell rang, and all the children rushed to put their books in their bags. Some check the notifications first, some spend the rest of their food under the table and some are from before the lesson was finished already entering the book simultaneously out of class.

Evan and Adit enter the second type, which is to check the notification of the brand phone first.

"Adit, have you met Mr Irham?" hani asked suddenly and approached Adit's desk

"Geez forget me," Adit patted his head.

He quickly put his phone in his pants pocket and hurriedly stuffed his book into the bag.

"Van, I'm going to the office first, if you want to go home first ." Pamit Adit hurry.

Evan also arranged his goods into a bag to get ready to go home.

"Gov! Wait!" Shila quickened her pace towards Evan with the Cultural Art book she was holding.

"Thank you for the book" Shila returned the book to the owner.

"Freely I run into the corridor next door, uh pas studying just given a grid for UAS." Shila complained with a look on her face that was still upset considering that.

"Yes, it's also called Cultural Art."

Evan nodded.

"Oh yeah, I want it." This time Shila was not too awkward in front of Evan.

While Evan, still like the same taste when he first met Shila.

"What?"

"Where are you from?"

"I mean, lo blaster what?" shila asked clarifying while wearing her grey bogo helmet.

"My father's from Ireland."

Shila closed her mouth, she jumped in shock.

"Ireland? Lo's oath!"

Evan frowned.

"Lo knew never met Niall horan? She's Irish, too" cried Shila enthusiastically.

"Never, he's from Mullingar right, I'm from Limerick."

"HUH? YOU KNOW NIALL FROM MULLINGAR?" this time Shila really could not resist his enthusiasm when he knew Evan was an Irish-Indonesian crossbreed. The birthplace of his idol, Niall Horan, a member of the boyband from One Direction.

Evan again nodded with a nod.

"I'm happy that you're from Ireland. How the hell does it feel there?" Evan is confused to answer what, because for him there is no difference between Ireland and Indonesia.

"Ngapain nih twosome," with a face without sin, Adit interrupted to nudge Evan's shoulder, Shila's face turned gloomy as Adit interrupted their exclamation.

There's no answer.

"Oh yes Shil, for your information! Turns out this year our school did not retire, so we take care of the pension first. Like we've talked about before," Adit started playing his part.

"Judek. Set up a meeting with OSIS when, when and most important class sister that does not interfere with the time to prepare for UAS."

"Gue first yes, afraid of getting stuck," Pamit Shila suddenly. Shila's attitude makes Adit feel guilty, so angry with Adit?

***

Like the previous nights, Evan, Rara, Mommy and Dad always have dinner together. But there is something different from today, Mother and Father held a 'Baby Shower' of thanksgiving in order to welcome Mother who has turned nine months old.

"Rara's sister, the girl or the Bun guy?" asked Naura innocently.

"Hum, guess what first," said the ignorant father.

"A girl, right, Bun? Rara doesn't want to have Adit's guy later, later her sister's naughty." Naura complained and folded her two tiny hands in front of her chest.

"Where's Yah? A bun? Girl or guy?" asked Evan who was curious.

Mother and Father grinned the horse, seeing his two children were hit by confusion.

"Actually, Mother and Father also do not know the baby girl or boy," explained Mother finally.

"It was intentional to be a bit suprise that," continued Dad.

"Yuk eaten yuk! as a thanksgiving with Mother and baby too, thank God there is no problem until now," Seeing the look on Dad's face with a big smile, surely he can't wait for new members in his small family.

"Later Bang Evan help Mother yes, love the tumpeng to the next door neighbor," said Mother while cutting a plate of brownie balls.

"Ready Bun."

After their Thanksgiving, Evan went back to his room and got ready for bed. Before that, he also took the time to clean up his study table which was still a mess. Suddenly Evan's eyes were fixed with a calendar on the study table.

"Two weeks UAS, duh! The first time I did not know UAS," he complained when he realized that the Final Semester Examination only stayed in the count of days. Evan is confused about how the right preparation to face this UAS, does he have to sulk so that his value does not plummet? In his little heart, Evan does not want Papa disappointed with his value that is always disappointing.

The phone screen blinked and displayed an incoming notification.

From : Shila XI IPS 2

'Anyway, you have to tell me how it feels in Ireland!'

Evan smiled as he read this, he felt something he had never felt before. Strange but pleasant taste.
