I Want A Normal Life: No Romance
#16 - Lucy is Not Her Real Name
The next day, Tino and I stood at the front stop of the school waiting for the girl to come.
“...”
“It looks like we came too fast.” Tino Grousers.
“Yes, indeed this is our habit.”
“...”
“Hey, Tino, do you know? Yesterday I met a customer who was quite unique, he came not using his real identity. What say?”
“Oh, you mean the masked girl? Yes, I saw it.”
“Eh? You know?”
“Sure I know, when I went outside the classroom yesterday, I saw him walking into class.”
“...”
“By the way about the girl, I don't know her real name yet.”
“Hah? Did he not give you a tau?”
“No, yesterday he just told me his pseudonym. And also I don't know what she looks like without a mask, let alone that mask covering her face and hair.”
“Then class?”
“She also did not tell her class origin.”
“Hmm... Never mind, let it go, he does it to keep his privacy, you have to be able to respect people's privacy, you should know it.”
“Actually tell me the information about your customer it also can't.” Tino Brief.
...
...
...
The girl was with us and we were walking to school.
“Hey, about our holiday, we so leave for holiday this weekend, ‘kan?” Asked the girl in a spirited tone, it seemed like she was very happy.
“Certainly can, we will discuss again later.” Answer Tino.
“No need, I've asked Ivi, he also said this weekend.”
“Ohh... so..”.
“...”
“Razox, why are you quiet fromadi?”
“...”
“Ah?! Nay! I'm fine, right!”
“What do you think, we're going on holiday this weekend?” Ask Tino.
“Eh? Aren't we going on holiday this semester? How was the plan then? I forgot.”
“You are.. We will be on holiday this weekend. What say?”
“Umm... this weekend yes... it looks like I can't join.”.
“Eh? Why?” The girl looked astonished and looked at me.
“Umm... I still love my life.” I said innocently.
“Honey life?”
“Yes, there are still many things I want to finish while I'm still alive?”
“Eh?” The girl was even more confused by my statement.
“Don't tell me that you still think that Love is an unlucky carrier, huh?” Tino said in a cold tone.
“Eh?! I don't think like that, kok!”
“... so you think like that about me, Razox.”
The girl's face instantly turned moody and bowed.
“Eh? Nay! Nay! I don't think so! I can't come this week!”
“Then, why?” Ask Tino.
Why is Tino suddenly like this to me?
“I... ummm.. have to take care of food! This week it was my turn to go shopping! Yes, I have to go to the market while I'm off!”
“Do not lie, in your house many people, it is impossible if you are told, and also, you never told me ‘to buy food to pasar’ before.”
“Eh?”
I need to find another reason...
“...”
“Ahahahaha..”
Suddenly the girl's voice laughed.
“Love, why you?” Tino approached the girl.
“Don't listen to Razox, she's not conscious.”
“...”
Me here.
The girl immediately looked at me and put on a happy smile.
“It's okay, really, if you still think like that, hopefully you don't think about me like that anymore.” Said the girl who was still smiling.
“Ugghh..”.
Whatisthis? I was in pain, and all of a sudden, he was shining and emitting light.
“Hai, friends!”
Suddenly someone grabbed me until I was down.
“Ivi? We just talked about holidays, we so, ‘kan?”
“Eh, Love. Of course we are leaving this weekend, prepare yourself.” Ivi let go of her embrace and followed us along.
“Oh yes, I also heard your conversation, you know.” Added Ivi.
“Love don't listen to Razox's words earlier yes.” Added again.
“Eh?!!”
...
...
...
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
When we entered the classroom, it was immediately seen the women were gathering. They're at the front desk.
“Wah, see this.”
“She's so handsome ya!”
It seemed like Tino was curious, she immediately approached them.
“What is this?”
“...”
Tino came back with a disappointed face.
“What's up, Tino?” Ask the girl.
“No, they're just discussing their idol, I guess what.” Tino answered with her gloomy face.
“Eh?”
Tino realized something and looked at the crowd again.
“What else is it?” I asked lazily.
“They are talking about their idol, ‘kan?”
“Iya, right.”
“Why are there men there? She looks feminine.”
“Terus why? Do not judge people because you just saw it, it could be that he is a very helpful person for human life.”.
“Eh? I don't judge it that way!”
“As of you..”.
...
...
...
The break time came, as usual, Tino and the others invited me to eat together in the cafeteria, but I refused, and said I would follow. I didn't bring any supplies today either.
“...”
I'm confused as to what to do.
BEEPING
A girl had just entered, everyone in the class immediately looked towards the girl, as well as me, seeing the girl walking gracefully.
“Wah, beautiful once.”
“Who is he?”
“Hai, sweet.”
The men immediately commented as the girl passed by.
But he walked in a direction they didn't and I guessed.
Towards me.
“Eh?”
Is that Lucy who's without the mask?
Not likely.
“Halo.”
“Halo.”
“Razox!”
“Eh? What?!”?
I didn't realize I was being called by that girl.
“Halo, introduce, my name is Jennia Lulu.” He said with a smile.
“...”
“I am..”
“you know, Lucy, the one yesterday.”
“...”
“I'm from class X-1. As I promised yesterday, I came to your class today.”
“...”
“To make friends with you and your friends.”
“...”
“Razox?”
“...”
“Razox!”
Lulu pinched my hand until I realized, she's gonna have to talk to me.
“Uhh... Well, I'll introduce you to my friends...”.
“Really? Glad!”
Uh, does this guy really have no friends? Ever since he entered the classroom, he had already been the center of attention.
“Cute me.” Take me up from the table and walk out.
...
“Huu!! You cheated, Razox!”
“He must be wearing a santet!”
“Pelet most!”
I had expected I would hear such talk if I was with this girl, I would rather not respond to it.
...
Arriving at the cafeteria, I saw Tino and the others and went straight to him.
“Eh? The razox? Who'sis that? Your new boyfriend, huh?”
I guess again.
“Friends, introduce this is Luc... Lulu, she is Lulu, from class X-1.”
“Wah, she's beautiful yes..” Said Ivi who was amazed.
“Seisi canteen directly see him.” Tino.
Why would someone like this have trouble making friends?
“Lulu, yes... please sit.” Tino.
Lulu sat down and I just realized that there were only 3 seats there which meant I wasn't sitting.
“Hey, where do I sit?”
“Umm... Just grab a seat at another table.” Tino said casually.
“Uh, is that right?”
“No, I'll take a seat.”
...
“Hmm??”
I saw Lulu, she had been bowed since and her face was red.
“Lulu... how did you get to know Razox?” Ask Ivi.
“...”
Lulu didn't answer.
“She is very shy, let me answer.” I said with pride.
“No, I want to hear him speak.” Sela Ivi's.
“Eh?”
“...”
Lulu bowed and raised both her shoulders.
I think it's because Ivi demanded that he speak.
“Ivi, so we meet-“
“Silent, Razox, let him answer.”
“...”
“Lulu, let's answer.”
Ivi said that while smiling, it was not her!
“I knew him yesterday!” Shouted Lulu who finally spoke.
“...”
“...”
“...”
We were silent when we heard Lulu speak, not because her answer was surprising, but because her voice suddenly became the voice of a 35-year-old om-om. Meanwhile the other students still looked at him with astonished gazes.
“...”
“Lulu..”
Lulu instantly closed her mouth and fell back down, it seemed like she was embarrassed.
“I got to know Razox yesterday, when I passed in front of her class and saw the board about her consultation.” Say Lulu in her normal voice again.
“...”
No one continues the conversation, I'm sure they still can't believe Lulu's voice like that, including me.
“Ehem, so, Lulu..” Tino finally let out a sound.
“Show me your face, you're from being bowed, we can't see your face.” Tino.
“...”
Lulu finally showed her face, she did look beautiful to most people, but not to me.
“Reacted right, you're beautiful.” Tino.
“Why can he find it difficult to get friends??” I am still amazed by my own question.
“Hmph.”
“Eh? You..” The girl suddenly made a sound as well and pointed at Lulu.
“You...” Lulu replied to him by pointing at him as well.
“If not wrong, we have met..”.
“When, huh?”
“...”
“...”
“Ah! Yes, on the first day of school.”
---
That morning, I was with my mother on my way to school. It seems I was late, felt from the speed of my mother pushing my wheelchair.
“Why don't we leave early?!”
While near the school stop, I saw a girl who got off the angkot and paid her fare in a hurry as well, she must have been late too, too, it was seen from the bread that was supposed to be for breakfast that he was still biting.
“Excuse me!” My mother called the girl.
“Ah!”
“I-iya.” The girl responded, but she turned her back on my mother.
“Do you want to go to that school?” My mother asked me to point to the direction of the school, which the girl did not see.
“I-iya.”
“Then can I leave my aunt? To get to school?”
“I-iya, I don't mind.” Say the girl.
I'm sure he took it, but he didn't look here at all.
“Then auntie titip aunty,”
“tante go first!” My mother left us immediately.
“Computer forgot to be killed!” Added.
“...”
The girl did not speak and immediately held my wheelchair, then pushed her towards the school.
Arriving in front of the school gate, we saw several other students who were also standing there, if according to my estimation, they were also late and not allowed to enter by students who seemed to be upperclassmen.
The girl stood quietly beside me, without speaking a word.
“Ummm... what's your name?” I asked to get rid of the silence of both of us.
“Lu... Jennias... Jennia Lulu! My name is Jennia Lulu.” Answer while bowing.
“Ohh... My name is Love Felia, greetings know, yes.” My words give me my handshake.
Lulu shook my hand trembling, I could feel it.
“So, Lulu, which class are you in?”
“A-I don't know..”
“Eh? I didn't either. Take a look at that paper.” I pointed at the paper attached to the wall near the gate, it was a list of names and classes that would be inhabited.
Lulu and I walked over to the paper and looked for our names.
“This is your name, it is in class X-1.” My name is Sambli and it's Lulu.
“If this has your name.” Said Lulu while pointing my name at the X-5 class.
“Yaahh... we are not in class dong..”.
“It's okay! I'll keep you up to class!” Said Lulu who suddenly puffed out her chest.
“...”
“Good..”.
...
Until we were allowed in, he actually drove me to the front of the classroom, on the 3rd floor. Despite being offered help by several people, he refused.
“Thank you, Lulu.”
“Iya, equally.”
“A-I go to my class first, see you!” Lulu immediately ran away leaving me in front of the class.
“See you soon, may we meet again!” My reply.
“...” Lulu stopped her steps, though,
and turn towards me.
“Iya, of course.” Say it with a smile.
“...” I also returned it with a smile.
After that he walked away again, and I went into class.
...
---
“Ah... yes, I remember back then..” Lulu.
“I think I'm the first person Love knew in this school.” Mumbles Tino.
“Hmm... I was confused with you, Lulu, you said that you were very shy, but why did you talk to him at the time, and also helped him to get to class?” My toot.
“Oh that, that's ka-because it still has a conscience!” Lulu replied while turning her face away.
“And also, I'm kasian also with Love, his mother immediately left without waiting for me to answer.” Added.
“So you didn't sincerely help him?”
“Te-of course sincere! You yourself heard his testimony, ‘kan?!”
“Ahahaha..” Suddenly the girl laughed.
“Eh? What's the matter, Love?” Ask Ivi.
“It's okay, it's funny to see them arguing.”
“...” Lulu and I were silent.
“...”
“Haha, why is your face so red?” Tino pointed at my face.
“...”
“Ahahaha..” Suddenly they laughed.
...
...
...
Until finally school time.
“Oi, do you want to go home with?” Ask Tino.
“Wait, I see my schedule first.”
“Sok busy.” Mumbles Tino.
“Alright, let's go home, no one wants consultation today.” I said with a happy tone.
We walked out together.
When we open the door...
“Eh? Lulu?!”
There was already Lulu waiting in front of the classroom door. Tino was shocked and almost fell down.
“What are you doing here? It's school time.”
“Ma-ma-ma Lulu seems to want to say something.
“Ma?” I was thinking what the next thing was.
“Eat?” I tried to guess it.
“Ma-ma-ma-ma.
“Temple?”
“Ma-ma-ma-ma.
“Mati?”
“Ma-ma-ma-ma.
“I give up, what do you say?”
“Will you come home with me?!”
“Eh?!”
“Of course you want, but can you help us?” I pointed at Ivi and the girl.
“Ya!” Lulu nodded complete with her smile.
Lulu immediately approached Ivi and took over the wheelchair.
“Totally..”
...
When we were on the trail, Lulu kept telling me about her making new friends.
“Wah, glad I, can get many friends today, thanks, Razox.” He said while pushing a wheelchair.
“...”
“Lulu, actually you can get more friends again..”.
“Later..”
“...”
