HIM, MY BEST FRIEND

At last..

I'm resigned. Waiting for my body to hit the floor. Sure enough, I felt my back hit something hard.

But why is there no thud indicating my body has crashed under this climbing board?

For a few seconds I was still silent.

My body still feels stiff, unable to move.

Ko, I was wondering..

Want to open your eyes, afraid it already exists in another world.

I tried to open my eyes a little.

Another bit.. Another bit..

And when my eyes were fully opened, all I saw was Mr. Zein's smiley face, holding back laughter.

And without a cue the laughter sounded very clearly in my ears. Sounds mocking. I covered both ears with my hands.

"Bapa why the hell? Ngetawain me huh?" accuse me.

Mr. Zein is still laughing.

"Okay, Ri.. I can't see your expression.." Mr. Zein hasn't stopped his laughter.

I feel my body shake. And a second later I was dropped to the floor.

My God, it turns out Mr. Zein caught me! I should have felt my body hit something, maybe Mr. Zein's hand or chest!

I immediately tried to sit down. Mr. Zein was also sitting next to me. Trying to control his laughter. Harry who had just come down immediately ran towards me.

The plot!!

"Aww!" my yelling.

"Sick, Har!!" I rubbed my head, which was grabbed by Harry.

"You crazy? You want to die?" his screams made my heart wail.

"I didn't mean it..," my great-granddaughter, "sorry."

Unexpectedly he pulled my head into his chest.

I heard her heartbeat beating fast. Also, his breathing is irregular.

"Sorry Har," I said.

It seemed like he had just realized what he had just done. Hurry up to let go of his embrace.

Mr. Zein looked at me with a dislike look.

Mas Rangga, Ardi and his friends soon docked.

"Sorry, Mas... I'm sorry, Ar. I didn't mean it," I regretted with all my heart.

Because of this incident, PA children may be prohibited from practicing wall climbing again.

"I'll take responsibility. I'll tell Mr. Rifat myself if it's my fault" I kept my head down. Shame and regret.

Mr. Rifat, the Deputy Headmaster is the Master Teacher of the organization.

"But you're all right, Ri?" ask Ardi.

"No pa pa, Ar."

I looked at Mr. Zein who was still sitting beside me.

"Thank you, sir, if you don't know my fate" I said.

Mr. Zein ruffled my hair which was already disheveled.

"No pa pa pa. You just happened to pass by," he said with a smile.

"But next time you have to be more careful. Kan Father is not always beside you to take care of you," his words successfully made me short of breath.

"Yes, Sir. I'm sorry, it's been a hassle" I said, looking down.

Suddenly from the back of the crowd appeared the worried face of Kurnia. Followed by Ahmad.

"Why are you, Ri? He said you fell? You're not pa pa?" berondong si Om.

He pulled my hand until I stood up.

"Is there a wound? Is something broken?" he kept asking.

"No, Kur. I'm fine" I replied.

"Alhamdulillah.. I was so shocked. Ahmad said you fell from the wall climbing," said Kurnia while stroking his chest.

"Can you fall?" ask again.

"Yes, why did you pull the rope? You're flirting?" keep up Mas Rangga.

"Yes, Mas. I slipped the truss in shock so I pulled the carmantle rope," I said, lying.

I saw Harry throw his face away while muttering something.

Ahmad was still standing behind Kurnia.

Mr. Zein stood up.

"Yes, Ri. Father home. You be careful, don't be careless" Mr. Zein said as he stood up and patted his crumpled shirt.

"Yuk Ardi, Rangga, Kurnia, Ahmad, all of them.. Yes, pamit sir. Don't be angry with Ririnya. He's still shocked."

Oh my goodness, sir. You are still good, even though I refused.

"Mas, sorry yes," said Kurnia. "Isn't anything like this?" continued.

"Yes, there's nothing about Kur. Bener said Mr. Zein, Riri must still be shocked. Take it to the sanggar gih," said Mas Rangga.

"Yes, Mas, thank you. Ar, thank you, yes" said Kurnia while holding my arm.

Ardi patted Kurnia on the shoulder.

Kurnia took me away. Followed by Harry and Oka.

"Are you really okay, Ri?" Oka flipped through my body when we got to the sanggar.

"It's okay, Ka. really." I don't know how many times I've said it.

Looks like the other kids didn't know what happened just now.

Harry still wouldn't see me. He seems very upset.

"Yes, if you're all right" said Kurnia, patting me on the shoulder.

"You're just like Harry there's a Masjid Teen, right? That's right there," I said.

"I'm the same Oka let's practice here."

"Yes already. Yuk Har." take Kurnia.

Oka kept telling stories, trying to make me forget what just happened.

One by one, the 10th and 11th graders began to arrive.

We started chatting and joking around in no direction.

I just left them chatting in the sanggar.

I walked up to the stairs and sat down on one of the steps.

I hear my ears hear the earphones.

I started listening to my favorite anime songs.

"Sir..," someone patted me on the shoulder slowly.

I pulled my earphone and turned around.

Fitri stood in front of me and smiled.

"Hi Fit.." I said.

"What's up, brother?" he sat beside me.

"Wait for you" I said.

"Why? Am I late?" tanyakanya.

"No, it's still a long time" I said as I looked up at my wrist.

"What's up, brother?" he looks scared.

"So I want to ask for help, you don't tell us about our mission yesterday with Kak Kurnia ya..," I said.

"I mean Brother?"

"That's what you asked for help Brother make your nyomblangin same Brother Harry," I reminded him.

"Don't tell me about it or our incident to the car free day ya."

He still looks confused.

"Udah deh, you will also understand ko," I said.

Brother Tiar, our coach has arrived.

We started practicing after praying.

Today the theme is Emergency Stretcher.

Oka happily gave the example of pairing with Nina.

Kurnia came with Harry after a few minutes of practice.

Kurnia soon joined while Harry waited on the sidelines.

"Okay, everybody take a 15-minute break!" exclaimed Kak Tiar after almost an hour and a half we struggled with a rope of carmantel and bamboo.

"Yes, Sis..," all answered compactly.

"Fit, sister's looking for a drink, yuk," asked Fitri before she left with Ema and Teti.

"With yuk, Ka," Teti proposes.

"Teti goes with Ema, yes" I said, winking.

Teti looked at me confused.

But he finally understood what I meant.

Teti pulled Ema's hand quickly.

In an instant the children were no longer visible in the field.

"You're going to the cafeteria, Ka?" ask Fitri.

"No, we're just here, Fit," I led him to the edge of the field.

"You brought a drink?"

"Bring, brother," he took out a pink bottle from the bag he had placed under the basketball hoop.

Kurnia saw me and Fitri from afar. He's with Harry.

Seeing me sitting on the sidelines, Kurnia approached me.

"Ri. ," he called out when he was right in front of me.

I'm standing. Fitri stood up.

"Udah, just sit down. I'm not going anywhere" I said casually.

"It's only 12 minutes. Gratitude can be less than that. Not for long. Direct execution. I won't help you by the way" I whispered to Kurnia.

Kurnia approaching Fitri. He sat down next to Fitri who was also already sitting in his original place.

Fitri glanced at me with that look.

"Sister said someone wants to feel the same way as you. Yes. here it is," I pointed towards Kurnia.

"okay.. Don't worry, you stay here" I said to Fitri, whose face was like boiled shrimp.

"Good luck, Om," I patted her shoulder. It turns out that his face is not too much different from Fitri's face.

I held my laughter and walked away from them. I sat back against two equally absurd lovebirds.

I stuffed my ears with earphones to keep from hearing anything they were talking about.

I saw Harry doing the same thing as me, a few feet away from me.

He seems to be worried about our friend.

I smiled to myself imagining what Kurnia was doing behind my back.
