He's Mine But For You

Empty Clock

The second break is over. Dinda and Rista return to their classes. Bary was late for class because he was preoccupied with reading books in the library. If the library guard Master had not told him, he would have still survived in the library alone.

Fifteen minutes passed, and no teacher came. This makes the atmosphere in the classroom become like in the market. The noise they were doing was disrupting the next class. The Guru Budi who was teaching in Class VII B, felt disturbed. He then went to class VII A, to see what happened.

" What's up, this?! Why the storm?!" scream loudly.

All the students became silent. Those who had originally gathered at one table, returned to their seats.

Bary, sitting at the end of the table, replied, "The teacher who taught us has not come, sir."

" Who teaches?"

" Mrs Endang, sir."

" Have you been to the Teacher's Room?"

" No, sir."

" See you in the Teacher's room. Miss Endang Ada or not, if there is no asking the Headmaster to fill the vacancy in this class" said Budi, the guardian of class VII A.

" Okay, sir." said Bary, then hurried to run towards Master's room.

" You guys wait till Bary gets back here. Don't rowdy.. Your voice is disturbing the next class." said the Guardian.

" Good, sir." said Class VII A.

Arriving at the Teacher's Room, Bary found no one. He then looked for the Headmaster in his room. But he did not find it either. The principal's room is locked. And there's nobody inside. He then met Guru Budi in class VII B.

" Tok tok..." Bary knocking on the door.

Some of the girls' students screamed hysterically at Bary's arrival. But calm them down.

" I'm sorry, sir, you're interrupting the time for a while" Bary said in front of the open door of Class VII B.

" Why, bary? Have you met the teacher?" ask Budi while walking towards Bary.

" Mrs Endang is not in the Teacher's Room, sir. The principal is also absent. The door is locked." answered Bary.

" Oh, yeah.. The principal has a meeting with the other Principals in the District. It's just fitting that he didn't come. Then you guys go to the library. You can learn anything there. But remember, don't be rowdy."

" Good, sir." said Bary.

Before Bary left class VII A, the last girl greeted Bary.

" Bary.." said the girl with a smile.

The other students also called him. The atmosphere in the class became crowded again. The Guru Budi kicked the table until it made all speechless.

" Don't be noisy! If you want to make a noise, get out!" shouted the Master Budi.

They obey, and remain silent without a word. They did not expect, Teacher who still looked young was fiercely extraordinary. Lucky they didn't get a homeroom teacher like Budi.

...----------------...

Meanwhile, VII A students flocked to leave their classes for the Library. Bary walked ahead and followed Dinda beside him. They look like lovers walking side by side. Not infrequently they walk while looking at each other and smile without saying.

Their friend in the back was envious seeing their closeness. Some girls are jealous to see Dinda close to Bary. And on the contrary, some boys were envious to see Bary close to Dinda. But they can't do anything. Sometimes they have to pretend to be happy to see their closeness, even though they do not like the closeness of Bary and Dinda.

Arriving at the Library, Bary was reading a book Titled The Secret to Success in Being an Entrepreneur at a Young Age. He found the book during the break. He had not finished reading the book. Since the final lesson hour was an empty hour, this was his chance to return to continue the lesson from the Book.

He found a comfortable seat to read the book. Stay away from friends who seem busy reading books they like.

" Eh, Bary.why are you sitting alone here?" asked Dinda who at that time accidentally found Bary who was sitting alone in the corner of the library.

" A, Dinda. No problem, I just want to be alone. Let the book I read understand."

" Yes, it's better to be alone. If you join a friend, the reading will be unfocused. So it's free to read it over and over again but it doesn't come to mind."

" Well, that's also one of my reasons. Hehe.."

" I went there first, yeah. Afraid of bothering you." said Dinda and intended to leave Bary alone.

" A, Dinda.. I'm not disturbed, though. You don't go, yes." said Bary while holding Dinda's hand who had wanted to leave him.

" Eh. he said you focus more if you read books alone. If there is me, then there will be a lot of conversation and not focus on the book we read."

" It's different with you, Dinda. You're not bothering me. In fact, you would bother me if you were far away from me.hehe.."

" Haha.. Bary, what are you talking about? I think somebody wants to fight, yeah."

" Hahaha, no, I'm serious."

Dinda looked at Bary's face. Her beautiful smile that no child of her age possessed greatly made her heart shady. Though he also has the same smile that makes the hearts of many boys melt.

Dinda finally survives and sits down next to Bary. But they still keep their distance. They don't want anyone to accuse them of doing nothing.

Not long after, Arista caught sight of the two of them. He called Dinda and Bary.

" What are you two doing here? Surely there is something" said Rista with a smile.

" We're reading a book, really. Just look, we're holding a book." bary said as he lifted the book.

" Yes, Rista. We're reading. It just so happens that we have the same habits in the library. I love reading lesehan in the corner."

" Yes, I'm okay. But what if the other friend snickered with you and reported to Master. Kan, it could be bad."

" Oh.. Sorry, Rista. We didn't think that far" Dinda said.

" It's okay, Din. Then you better not hide here. Better to sit in a place where it looks. It's closed here, it's not good to see another."

" She.. Yes, it is, Rista. I'll find another seat." said Bary then left.

" Bary, where are you going?" dinda asked, holding Bary's hand.

Rista felt a little jealous seeing Dinda holding Bary's hand. He asks Dinda to take Bary's hand off.

" Not arrested, you wanna go with Bary?" ask Rista.

" Uh.. No, Rista. I just.."

" What's all, Dinda?"

" Sir.. I want to read this book outside. Maybe there's more comfortable" said Bary then left the library.

" Dinda..why my nyuekin?" rista was upset.

" Ah. sorry, Rista. I also want to come outside" said Dinda and followed Bary out.

" Hemhh.they don't like my words. Did I misrepresent him. Maybe they know I don't like their closeness. I should be happy if they're close. And I should have supported their closeness. But why my little heart would not. Bary is not the only guy in this class. And I know I can't like him. But if he's close to Dinda, it hurts a lot." Rista murmured.
