Is It Wrong Not All Right?

Andro figure

Fina arrived at school. He saw people crowding in front of the school mading while occasionally being heard talking about separation. Fina was curious. He saw what was on the mading. It turned out to be an announcement paper for their class farewell later.

The farewell event will be titled “From us to us”. Students or students are allowed to present a show if they wish. The show can be anything. Reading poetry, singing, music, whatever it is.

Fina was not interested at all. He has no talent to show. All he knew was that he could only make pineapple fried rice.

Fina's headed to her class. The atmosphere of the school looked different without Win nearby. Fina really felt what loneliness was.

Fina opened her lunch break. He decided not to go to the cafeteria. Fina accidentally dropped her spoon. Fina hunchbacked up, took the thing under her desk. He pensively for a moment. He saw Win's shadow there. The memories were still stuck in Fina's brain. When Win and Fina spent lunch under the table. Fina smiled, as if she had made peace with everything. He continued to spend his supplies alone.

Every corner in this school, seems to be tucked into memories with Win. Fina went to rofftop. By ourselves. This rooftop is empty hopping. Silent. Only the sound of wind occasionally scattered. Fina looked at Win's graffiti on the parapet wall. The writing is starting to fade. Just like the relationship between the two.

Fina went home. Someone was waiting for him in the parking lot. Someone with a silver car. Gerald. Fina walked over to Gerald and Gerald kindly opened the car door for Fina.

“Still.” Fina smiled and snuggled into the car. He was treated very special by Gerald.

Gerald just smiled sweetly and walked across his car, to the driver's seat.

The silver car came out of the school parking lot, then disappeared.

Secretly a man saw the sight. Win. From a distance he observed the two of them getting into the car. Win's heart was torn. From now on the back seat of the bike is empty and the helmet is left one. From now on Win has to be mature. Can't keep up with his ego.

...***...

Fina had been checking whats-app for a while, seeing if there was a chat coming in from Win. Maybe Win wants to say something. But it turns out there isn't. Fina must admit she still hopes for Win. He still hopes to be together again with Win, no matter what. It was hard to erase all her feelings for what they had both lived.

Win... are we over? Fina muttered to herself in heart.

Maybe Win was tired of constantly chasing me, but being chased never gives more reciprocity. Now Fina only realized that all this time she was among those who were indifferent to Win. Always Win comes to him. Fina just kept waiting.

Fina was about to say something to Win. His thumb moved typing the keyboard.

Wins... I’m so sorry for everything..

But his intention was to undo his entire brain rewinding Mama Win's words. He's just a problem for Win.

Fina redirects her whats-app chat page to Lindy's number. Maybe he needed to go out for a moment to refresh his mind.

Fina: Going to the ice-cream stand, Kalin? Free, right?

Kalin: May... I'm picking you up now.

Fina gets ready, changes clothes. A few minutes later, Lindy suddenly. They headed straight for the nearest ice-cream outlet.

They both enjoyed strawberry ice cream with a view of the building lights from the second-floor balcony.

“If ngajak eat ice-cream usually there are those who want to be told. What's up?’ Lindy

guessing.

“I dont know exactly.. I just feel sad, heartbroken, and confused.”

“Bunny?”

“On the one hand I want to stay with him, but on the other hand I feel I can't be with him.”

“You just need to follow the flow, Fina. Leave it to fate will lead you to whom and which way.”

Fina mangosteen. “But it's hard to move-on.”

“Move on it's just a matter of time. It was hard at the beginning. But as time goes by you will adapt and get through it. New people will pop up, replacing the past ones.”

Fina swallowed her ice-cream. Lindy's words can always provide a way out of every problem, just like Doctor Gerald.

“If sister how is her relationship with Doctor Gerald?” asked Fina innocently.

The sudden question made Lindy choke. And then laugh.

“What are you doing? If Gerald is just mementan.” Lindy refuted.

“Instead, yes... You want to know one secret, don't you?” lindy Tawal.

“What?” Fina frowned.

Lindy brought her face closer to Fina. He closed his mouth with his hands, whispering.

“Gerald tuh it seems a pity to one of his patients, namely you. He knows so much about you. He told me that you like strawberry ice cream, even once you tell him. And he also asked me to take care of you.”

In Fina's head appeared a big question mark. Gerald knows Fina likes ice-cream strawberries? From where?

“Doctors know I like strawberry ice cream from where?” ask Lindy. This sounds mysterious.

Lindy shrugged her shoulders. “She does seem to be full of prestige, but sometimes it can be strange too.”

Fina was silent for a moment, trying to twist her brain. It's like there's a riddle between him and Doctor Gerald. Have they met before?

Once at home, Fina tries to solve the puzzle. He told his brain to recall events in the past. Is this really not the first time they met?

5 Minutes, remember it aloud. What came out of Fina's mind was that child. A little boy named Andro whom he met a few years ago when he was 7 years old. And the boy was 5 years older than Fina, just like her and Doctor Gerald are today.

-flashback

11 Years ago, Fina met a boy named Andro. They love to spend a strawberry ice cream together, in a large field near the airport, which when the plane takes off can be seen from where they are sitting.

“Later I will the plane,” said the boy named Andro while pointing at the plane that took off.

“Why what? Who will buy strawberry ice cream?” little Fina asked in an adorable way.

“I'll be a calming doctor. So I have to go.”

“A calming doctor? Doctor who gives strawberry ice-cream to people?” asked Fina innocently.

Andro shakes. “Not. But the doctor who wiped his patients' tears.”

Fina pouty. He didn't want Andro to leave. He doesn't want to eat strawberry ice cream alone.

“If I cry now, will you stay here and wipe my tears?” Then little Fina cried then and there loudly, making Andro overwhelmed to let it down.

“Shtt.. Don't cry I haven't become a doctor.”

Fina did not comment on Andro's words. He continued to cry loudly, until the people around him turned their eyes towards him. Andro was embarrassed and afraid of being blamed by others.

“Sht.. Cep.. Cep... Don't cry. Later I promise, if I was a doctor, I would love you a lot of strawberry ice-cream..” Fina's mouth immediately closed tightly hearing the word strawberry ice-cream. Her tears stopped.

“Appointment?” Fina pointed her little finger.

Andro nodded, returning the finger. “Appointments.”

Andro wiped the remaining tears on Fina's cheek. Little fina smiled.

Fina was awakened from her daydream. He immediately picked up his phone and called Lindy to ask her one thing.

“Halo, Kalin, where else?” Fina put her phone in her ear, speaking in a hurry.

“Again in the car, why Fin?” Lindy turned her car around with one hand.

“Kalin, know not the long name Doctor Gerald?”

“H... If not wrong, anyway. Gerald Andro Fernando.”

Fina steadied her heart. The little boy she met 11 years ago was Doctor Gerald who treated her at the age of 18. This feels impossible. Is this what we call the power of destiny?

Fina cut off her phone connection with Lindy. Tomorrow he's gonna have to see Gerald. Not for a consultation, but for a reunion because they finally met again.
