High School Autobiography

WATER IN THE LEAVES

       But when Farka and Areny had just arrived beside the door mouth, they were glued there, startled by two humans who were running out of the classroom, Fihan and Eril were running with bruised faces.

“Eh!?” astonished Areny by looking probing.

So Farka hurriedly ran into the classroom, which turned out that Derka, Kahji, Sazan and Erka were standing in front of the class as if they had just taken care of a big problem. While the other friends gathered at Eril's table, their faces were serious but anxiety implied from the look in their eyes.

“That's the class leader!” exclaimed Juvi loudly giving the impression that the leader has returned then the problem will be solved.

“What's up?!” wipe Farka with worry.

Farka has now stood in front of the class with a confused face, shortly afterwards Areny entered the class equally confused.

“Tadi, Fihan fights with Derka,” Kahji said.

“Eh..?” Areny surprised.

Farka frowned seriously.

“Iya right chief! Until Eril hits Derka!” take Juvi seriously.

“Ha?” Areny was shocked.

“He! The Eril was indeed blocking me so it was natural that he got hit,” said Derka defend himself.

Derka then sat on his stool without any problems, amazingly he looked fine.

Farka also stepped closer to Derka, he knew very well that Derka must have started it, so that all the spotlight was immediately on them.

“Why Derka?” search Farka.

“Hahahaha... arrogant people sometimes do have to be given hard advice..so it's natural that the hands are talking,” replied Derka explained figuratively and remain relaxed.

“But... it is not right, violence is the attitude of children,” replied Farka disagreed.

“Ya... I am indeed a young boy... huahahaha...” said Derka defended herself by laughing with pride that instead his words seemed to mock the class leader.

Farka fell silent seriously, he did not respond, because it was useless to also respond to people like Derka.

“Intinya, the brain lost by the muscles, and the Fihan fell with just three blows... hahahaha...” Derka quipped with a laugh with pride.

“Chairman of class, should we tell their parents?” tanya Juvi suggested.

Suddenly Derka rose from the chair back emotions.

“He fools! Whose parents are you referring to?!” sergeant Derka.

“He, just relax dong!” reply Juvi.

“Iya, just relax!” keep Juva standing around in a waistline trying to protect her brother.

“So men don't be rude dong!” tympano Nitia.

“Iya booooooooooo.

All the women started cheering Derka, except Zeni who had been calm, so focused on her smartphone, was still sitting in her chair as if nothing had ever happened.

“Enough! Enough!” said Farka loudly.

Derka sat down again, while the rest of the disciples began to look at Farka.

“We've talked about this! Remember that! Whatever happens, our problem, we will solve it ourselves!” farka looked at her friends.

So without any rebuttal, some of the students nodded in tears, and Farka looked out of the classroom, wondering what would happen next.

       Right behind the school, behind the hall building, with its green view of spruce trees, Fihan and Eril were sitting scattered on the green grass by leaning against the wall of the red-painted hall while treating their wounds, a bottle of mineral water was presented to the right of Fihan. Fihan's left nostril had been blocked by cotton swabs to keep the blood from pouring out again, Eril whose tears had stopped flowing, but sadness was still plastered on his sweet face.

“Hiks hiks, hiks.”

Fihan then thrust a packet of tissue on Eril who had been bought, Eril only grabbed three pieces of tissue, then he wiped his face using the tissue. Fihan also gave a bottle of mineral water to Eril, Eril received it with pleasure, he gulped it down to the remaining half bottle of water, they drank alternately and put the empty bottle back into its original position. The wind was blowing slowly as if stroking their cheeks in a friendly manner.

“You shouldn't have to act stupid,” said Fihan as he looked at the fir tree.

Suddenly Eril looked directly at Fihan, looking at him full of anger but affection was implied in the look of his eyes.

“Why don't you reward too!?” furious Eril.

Fihan was stingy still looking at the spruce tree in front of him with his indifference.

“I'll protect you no matter what!” resolutely Eril looked at Fihan's face seriously.

Then Eril turned away, his breathing had returned to normal, his beautiful face had returned to light even though it was not as bright as it should be, because his face had been contaminated by bruises, he also looked at the row of cypress trees that adorned the back of the school hall, he said, the trees are very high as if they are trying to reach the sky, when the wind blows, the leaves are like dancing, what else here the air is very fresh as well as a clean place even though rarely visited by humans.

“Fihan, only the first time you dare to take me to the place you are headed,” said Eril happily.

This 17-year-old girl has loved Fihan since Junior High she never separated until now, Eril is actually a girl who is firm, considerate and beautiful although not as beautiful as Zeni but more beautiful than Areny, he had large black eyes, thin pink lips, wide forehead, with black eyebrows firm and natural, bright white skin so clean, long black hair rather fluttered when his hair met on the shoulders to the chest, the thick hair framed beautifully his oval-shaped face, plus a Rose-patterned clasp that decorated the right temple of his head, with a beautiful oval-shaped face, Eril is smarter than Areny but not more cheerful than Areny.

“In the second grade I used to take you to the roof of my mother's office building, I pulled you because it was your birthday, right?” refute Fihan.

Eril smiled meaningfully, he was so happy when Fihan still remembered the most pleasant memories. The clouds started rolling gray, rain seemed like it was going to fall, yet the two of them just sat back and forth enjoying the air today.

“It looks like it's going to rain,” thought Eril was looking up at the sky.

“Fihan, have you ever been in love?” ask Eril.

Fihan was still looking far ahead without speaking.

“Ya already, if you do not want to answer..” timpal Eril with a happy smile.

Fihan remained indifferent to not talking.

“Fihan, if you pulled me for my birthday, now why are you bringing me here, we should go to UKS right?” eril.

Fihan was silent, but this time his face was contemplating, Eril was silent still waiting for Fihan's reply, one second passed, until in the fourth second when Eril had given up on asking a lot, suddenly the handsome face of Fihan glanced at Eril, Fihan looked at Eril with a sharp gaze, in shock Eril looked back at Fihan, until the two black neutrals they met a look. Eril gulped his saliva somehow he was nervous, something was emanating in both of Fuhan's eyeballs, the feeling was conveyed only through the gaze of the eyes, the, for Eril this was his first experience of Fihan staring seriously at Eril, the wind felt friendly, the time felt sluggish when they met the view.

“I'm amazed at you Erilia,” said Fihan in serious amazement.

Suddenly Eril was stunned, he was astonished by Fihan's confession, his eyes were wide open, his blood was flowing rapidly, his breathing seemed to slow down, for the first time, Eril's eardrum trembled at the words that made Eril very happy. Fihan looked back ahead at the row of spruce trees. So both of Eril's eyes blinked together with the feeling of pleasure stored in his heart, Eril lowered his face, he permeated the statement of Fihan.

“For the first time, you mentioned my name,” said Eril looking down pleased.

Fihan was still at home looking ahead, as if staring away at his feelings now.

“You are the second woman to protect me from a blow,” flatter Fihan.

Hearing his statement, Eril immediately looked seriously questioningly at Fihan's face.

“Whose first woman?” ask Eril.

“My grandmother,” clear Fihan.

Eril nodded slowly understanding. The wind suddenly gushed violently carrying the leaves flying, a few seconds later the whirring of the strong wind vanished with the contemplation of Fihan.

“For me, you are a strong woman.” flatter Fihan.

Eril was stunned by the pleasure of hearing Fihan's statement.

“However, if you are strong just for the sake of protecting the things you love, then you will become weak when the ones you care about disappear from your life,” Fuhan added seriously.

Eril looked down at the words of Fihan.

“Although so...” said Fihan.

Then Eril again looked at Fihan meaningfully.

“I admire you, you still want to protect people like me, you still want to get hurt, still want to accompany me.”

But Eril was still with his flat face, he was happy but not smiling.

“Unfortunately, you did that for the sake of one person like me, you are selfish, you just want me to be yours,”.

Eril took a deep breath, then exhaled along with mixed emotions, Fihan is difficult for Eril to guess, after praising, he was insulting, but after insulting him praising, Eril was completely inexhaustible, the man she admired was very difficult to understand.

“Eril, your feelings will change as you get older, those feelings will develop looking for the right place, but not the right place, later when that person makes your feelings successfully move on her, you will hate me, you will, or maybe you'll stay away from me, Eril, that was you protecting me not because you thought I was your friend.”.

Eril could only be silent looking far ahead, trying to look at the feeling of what was stored in the heart of Fihan, until Fihan dared to summarize the things that might happen to Eril, his ears were fixed, fixed, however, Eril must know what is actually felt by Fihan until Fihan avoids Eril's feelings.

“...you protected me because you wanted me, you were just a cursory friend, someday ka...” said Fihan cut.

“Enough Fihan! Enough!” sergah Eril with a huff.

His heart was again wounded by Fihan's excessive prejudice, Eril's face turned angry but he was angry because he wanted his loved one to get out of his paranoia. Fihan was stinging while staring at the spruce tree in front of him.

“Stop that stupid prejudice of yours that is completely uncertain! You just have to face it and accept all the facts that will happen! You do not need to be afraid and avoid, as if everything does not mean!” eril took it seriously.

Fihan was silent and did not respond.

“Your fear is too much! If we are friends then what is the problem?! If indeed you want us to be friends forever, you just need to be a good friend and do not have to fear losing a friend, because there is a time when we let go of all that lives with us, the name of life must always evolve!” eril continued with anger.

Then Eril crossed arms, staring far ahead with his furious emotions at the attitude of Fihan.

“So no one can be trusted in this world except yourself? You will also go with others,” complained Fihan with a flat face.

”You're the one who doesn't want to lose?!“ eril's teasing was extremely irritated.

Fihan just stinged no matter, suddenly Eril rose to his feet, rose up with his emotions enveloping him, looking full of anger at Fihan.

”OK! I'll prove that my feelings won't change like your stupid words!“ jolt Eril.

But Fihan remained at home looking ahead with a flat face in his cold attitude.

”I WILL ALWAYS ACCOMPANY YOU AFTER GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL, EVEN WE WILL CONTINUE TO RICE FOREVER UNTIL DEATH!“ he said with full conviction.

But once again, Fihan still behaved foolishly, for him there was no one right to be made friends, even there was nothing right to believe, everyone was a symbol of selfishness for personal gain, thought Fihan so. Then the wind again blew fiercely with Eril who left Fihan alone, the wind was accompanying the cold heart of Fihan, causing the evergreen tree to appear swaying, he said, cloudy clouds are getting piled up to make the day darker, but Fihan remains at home in his position, he is cool, calm and remains relaxed.

       Finally that day Guru Sukada replaced Guru Kativia who went out of nowhere, the lesson continued, but two people did not attend the class, Fihan and Eril missed their class, actually Guru Sukada wanted to ask Farka and Fihan to face the Master room, in order to explain the problem that had happened with Guru Kativia, but, instead, since Fihan was not present, Farka had to wait in class until the person came, Eril and Fihan's backpacks were still neatly tucked away in their seats. And when the school was disbanded, in the heavy rain at 15:08 pm, some students waited in their respective classes, while other students were picked up by their family members. Farka, Zeni, Areny, Sazan, Derka, Gewa, Estilia, and Aqada were still in the classroom waiting for the rain to subside.

”Farka, have there been any replies from them?“ asked Eril who was sitting in his chair with a carry-on bag that had been firmly attached to his back.

”Not yet, my phone was not picked up my message was also not answered,“ replied Farka who was sitting in her chair focusing on her smartphone.

While the rest of the friends focus on their own fun, the sleeping Derka, Zeni plays the game on her phone, Gewa outside the classroom gazing at the rain, Estilia is busy writing in her diary, and Sazan and Aqada were busy drawing on the blackboard.
