The next morning, at class time...
"morning, son. How are you guys doing today?" Greet the classmate who just came in.
"Good morning too, pak~" replied the child in the classroom.
"So, who's not here?" Ask the teacher.
A student raised his right hand.
"Yes? What's up, Manna?"
"Sir, today, Alia is not present" replied Manna with a sad look.
Degh!!!
Irene flinched with enlarged eyes. He did not know to tell the truth or to remain silent.
Meanwhile, the other children turned to Alia's table which was empty.
'Is the child sick?' Inner Jefry.
'If Alia was sick, she should have called Alianna or her family. But..., why wasn't I contacted at all?' Inner Glavin with a worried looking face.
"Do you know why Alia is not present?" Ask the teacher.
The atmosphere in the class was quiet. Meanwhile, Irene's body shook violently. His heart was beating very fast.
"alright. Then you will try to ask your family. Now we start the class"
Hours of rest, dikantin...
A girl with dark green hair was sitting in a cafeteria seat, with spaghetti on her desk.
'I have to say everything that happened to Alia to Glavin. But.., I dare not. What if Glavin's angry? I don't know what will happen to me later. Anyways...'
< "They won't get angry while you don't tell them" >
It was a word Alia said before leaving, which Irene had accidentally remembered.
Then, the girl directly hit her head, and dropped her head on the table.
"What did you just think of Irene?! Alia said so! But you can't keep this a secret!" The girl muttered in annoyance.
He then lifted his face, and looked at the spaghetti in front of him.
"What try? Didn't you (Alia) say you'd come back safe? You're just like that guy (Zelle )!"
Shortly after, some of his classmates came to his desk.
"Irene, good morning!" Greet one of them with glasses hanging from his nose. In his hand there is a tray on top of which is the food he ordered.
Irene raised her head while looking over. It turns out they are Manna, Jefry, and Erdan.
"You-you guys?" Surprise the girl.
"Can we join the table with you?" Ask Manna with a smile.
Irene nodded. Manna sat down next to Irene. And Jefry and Erdan sat before them.
"Irene, you better give me back your old face. Don't keep on being so moody. If you still don't miss Zelle's departure, she will definitely not be calm there" Jefry said, propping up her right cheek with her hands. Today he is not in the mood to eat. Come to the cafeteria just because he wants to accompany his friend to eat.
Irene. 'I've let go of Zelle, who is now making me like this is her Inner Alia.
At that moment Manna sighed.
"I.., miss Alia" Tukas Manna lethargic as she stared at a box of chocolate flavored milk that Alia used to buy.
Irene who heard it gasped. There, only he knows the news about Alia. It made him no longer in the mood to eat.
"Why did you buy bread other than chocolate? You don't like it. Nought. I bought it for me to come home later, anyway. But Accept. Let's just say I'm comforting you" said Jefry, giving him 2 packs of Vanilla jam bread.
"Thank you" Briefly Manna who was still lethargic while receiving 2 packs of bread that Jefry gave.
Erdan looked at Manna for a moment, then the direction of his gaze moved to the spoon on which there was fried rice. Then devour him, saying.
Irene clenched her right hand, and then looked at Erdan who was chewing on fried rice.
"Now...., where is he?" Ask Irene.
"Glavin's? He said he wanted to call Alia's number. But I don't know where. It might be in class" Erdan replied as he devoured another spoonful of fried rice.
The dark green-haired girl was silent for a moment, then got up from her seat.
"Where are you going?" Ask Manna.
"I'm going to the toilet. If you want that spaghetti, just eat it. I'm full" replied Irene who then passed.
Jefry who was looking at Irene's curls raised one eyebrow.
"She said she wanted to go to the toilet, but she went to her back. 😒"
Tukas Jefry's.
"That's it. Maybe she was because she still thinks of Zelle. You guys want some free spaghetti, don't you?" Erdan said.
"No" replied Manna and Jefry compactly.
"Thank God"
In front of class 3-2...
Irene opened the small door of her class. In the classroom, for some reason but no other children, there was only Glavin who was standing facing the window outside, with his hand holding a mobile phone. At that moment his gaze was directed at his cell phone. Then, Irene opened the classroom door, and closed it again. Glavin who heard the sound of the door closing turned his head back, then turned his body towards Irene who had just entered inside. But right now, the blue-eyed man did not give a greeting like the usual Glavin. He also looked at Irene with a different look. In short, the man looked much different than before.
"G-Glavin?" Call Irene.
But Glavin did not answer, and instead looked back at his phone.
Irene stood sculpting. He felt that there was only Glavin in the classroom, because his classmate who had been in the classroom went out after seeing the man who seemed to be in a condition that should not be disturbed. Yep. That's what Irene is feeling right now. He really felt his legs wanting to run out of class to get away from Glavin.
But the girl went against the whim of her feet, and walked over to the blue-eyed jeweled man.
"Are you in touch with Alia?" Asked the girl while glancing at Glavin's cell phone. Instantly, the girl gasped in shock after seeing what she saw.
'Glavin...., have you contacted Alia 47 times?!' His inner being then looked at Glavin who was still intending to call Alia's number.
'free. It's free. Of course Alia didn't lift it. All this is free! It's no use!' Inner Irene again who then touched the left hand of Glavin who was holding the phone.
"That's enough, Glavin. Alia.., that's alia.., d-she-"
Irene said, suddenly the class bell rang. Glavin pulled out his hand that Irene was holding, and walked towards his desk. Irene looked at Glavin silently. He also walked up to his desk.
'I'd better tell them the truth. I can't keep hiding it, though'
After school, in front of the gate...
"Why are you gathering us here, Irene? If you have something to say, it's better to hurry. You see, we're going to meet Alia at her house" Jefry said.
Irene was silent for a moment with a trembling body.
Manna, Jefry, and Erdan who saw Irene like that looked puzzled.
"Irene? Are you okay? Why is your body shaking like that? What's up?" Ask Erdan.
"I will tell you the truth, concerning..." Breaking up Irene who was preparing to call out her last sentence.
"... Alia" Further.
Instantly, Glavin who had been leaning against the gate wall was directly facing Irene with a fixed gaze.
A few minutes later, after Irene had said everything, their gazes all looked blank. It was unexpected that the dark brunette girl actually came there. Before long, Glavin turned his back on his friend, and walked away. Irene chased after Glavin, and held the man's left hand.
"Are you.., going to that house?"
Ask Irene.
Glavin did not answer. Nor did he look at Irene. At that time, without needing to be answered, Irene already knew what the answer was. Until he decided, that...
"I'm coming!" Strictly speaking.
