In 1996
***********
"Wit, in the good wait behind the mushola. It's important" said Lita, my countryman and best friend from first grade, as soon as she got into class.
Witri who had just stuffed her bag into her desk drawer rushed to her feet after nodding to the messenger.
"You guys fighting again?" tanya Lita half whispered because there were many friends in the class when the lesson time started was still twenty-five minutes away.
Witri just shrugged her shoulders confused.
Arising because something is not. But between Witri and Bagus is a bit unpleasant atmosphere the last two weeks. It feels freezing so cold.
Though usually they can chat nggalor ngidul change themes without feeling in between their school time.
Somehow at first, suddenly Witri felt good - her boyfriend since second grade then - so changed his attitude. Not as hard as usual.
The guy became more reserved and like keeping his distance from him.
It had even been a week since Good never waited for him at the school gate in the morning. As is the custom since the time PDKT used to be in Witri.
Nor accompanied him waiting for the bus when he returned home from school as usual.
Good changing. Witri felt that very much.
But Witri was also reluctant to start asking about the change in Good's attitude because she felt she didn't do anything that would make Good have to be cold to her.
Outraged by Good's attitude, Witri instead went along with the cute.
Even he deliberately avoided passing through the hallway
the school that is likely to be good there.
Avoid school corners where they usually meet.
He was lazy to meet and look at the manic brown eyes shady the guy.
Eye beads that make him feel in love in his teenage years.
Eye beads that feel so hugging that make his heart feel warm.
Witri saw Bagus sitting on the edge of the basketball court, while occasionally the eyes of the boys saw their younger siblings who were studying long jump in the lesson hours to zero (before the first hour of lessons).
"What's wrong?" ask Witri to the point while sitting next to Bagus who looks surprised by the presence of Witri who is like a ghost.
The guy even turned his head so quickly he was shocked.
"Okay your apparition. Suddenly it was nongol at the side." said Bagus as he slightly shifted his seat further away from Witri.
What's the matter? He keeps a sudden distance?
Witri rushed to her feet in agitation and took two steps back from her original position.
"Kok is standing? Away too." asked Good astonishment staring at Witri who had shown a face holding back his regret.
"Well, did I follow you to keep your distance? Afraid of look who the heck to immediately slide far away so sit it ? Just at the beginning we sat already at a distance politely you know, already can sit two fat people." protest Witri remained standing while his arms rested on the wall.
Nice looking pissed.
Actually annoyed with his own actions that automatically shifted earlier, but the grunt was responded differently by Witri.
Witri thinks Good is upset that he accuses the guy of having another girl behind him so he has to be stiff to keep other girls feeling.
Both of them ended up trapped in a vexed silence.
The eyes of the two just alternately looked at each other and threw away their eyes.
"Say I want to say something important. What the hell are you talking about?" asked Witri again after a long time they were silent and just busy his eyes looking at their running underclassmen, floated for a while, then dropped his feet on the sandy area. Do a long jump sport.
"What exactly are we?" tanya Bagus finally with a concerned voice while looking at Witri with a sad look.
"I'm not really okay. Don't know if you." replied Witri while glancing at Bagus somewhat annoyed.
He who suddenly cuek and make a bad atmosphere, even our why...
"I'm not okay either. There's no way either. But why are we so like the atmosphere, huh? Not cool anymore." lamented Good while staring questioningly at Witri. Witri did not answer.
He prefers to justify Good speech in the heart only.
"Are we really bored?" tanya Good as a mutter.
Witri turned her head to look at Bagus who was sitting next to her quietly.
Bored of?
Can you be bored in loving? Can you get bored when living in a relationship?
"Aren't you bored with me?" tanya Bagus turned her head and made her eyes both look.
And looking at the look in Nice's eyes this time, Witri felt unfamiliar with that gaze.
The highlight of the eyes he encountered this time was the look of unfamiliar and new eyes.
Highlight eyes that are flat and like being struggling to shine gently as usual.
Why these? She why?
Witri shook her head slowly. A head bobble to answer Good's question and to express his disbelief at her sudden feeling of cracking.
I don't know why he felt he had lost his goodness.
"Are you starting to feel uncomfortable about our relationship? Same me?" ask Good again in a soft voice.
This time he lowered his head, then looked straight ahead without even glancing at Witri in the slightest.
His face was flat without the slightest smile.
"I know you like to avoid me these endings. Why?" tanya Bagus while looking at Witri who was fixated.
Turns out he knew I was missing meeting him ...
"No need to ruin your sight. I know you're trying to keep your distance from me. Why would that be?" ask Witri to ask.
Witri felt even more sad when she saw that Good's eyes seemed to be trying to hide her surprise.
That means you are keeping your distance from me.
"If I'm wrong, say. If you're bored or uncomfortable, say. I can listen. I can explain. Even if needed, I can also understand." said Witri calmly but felt stabbed.
"Why do you even follow the distance and ignore me? Instead of asking why I'm acting so sam you." asked Good slowly.
"I don't feel like I'm doing something that makes you angry or bad mood. That's why I thought you were the one who wanted to keep my distance. Yes, I helped you with my distance." replied Witri slowly.
"Mkkk...!" Nice clucking pissed, make Witri's heart a little sore.
It's good to never behave like this before.
"You are not sensitive as a girl." muttered Good half complain.
"That's what you've known for a long time." - sergeant Witri quickly.
"Well I think you can change little by little to be more sensitive to the feelings of others." said Good quickly with the voice pressed as low as possible.
"What does this mean? Whose feelings?" ask Witri quickly.
How did it get to the feeling?
Good to come back slowly.
"My feelings!" good said a bit loudly while pointing at his own chest, making Witri shake his head in shock.
Witri looked at the face of Bagus who seemed to be holding back in annoyance. His chest suddenly rumbled loudly. His blood suddenly felt boiling.
"You don't want to know how I feel, Wit. I have been patient all this time. I wait." said Good in a softened voice.
He was a little regretful when he realized Witri was shocked by his high tone earlier.
"I hurt your feelings? When?" asked Witri with a confused face.
"You never hurt my feelings. But you are not sensitive and it makes me feel angry with you for a long time" said Good slowly without wanting to lift his gaze from the end of his own shoes.
"I'm not sensitive about what? I lack understanding? I give you less freedom? I'm less..."
"You never want to give me what I want." cut it up. Good quick.
Witri immediately fell silent staring at Nice not understanding. His eyes blinked trying to remember what might have been missed from his attention when talking to Bagus.
A wish? Is it good to ever say what that is? I guess I never said anything to him.
Witri was even more confused when she saw that Bagus was back clucking in annoyance.
"I...kamu..indeed I ever say the same I want what?" witri asked in a timid tone after half-dead she tried to remember but still could not remember what Good wanted her.
Witri's heart was beating fast as Bagus suddenly stood up and then turned his face to her by lowering his head.
Their eyes were reunited with gazes that felt alien to each other.
Witri found an annoyed look from Bagus and Bagus eyes found a confused and regretful look from Witri's eyes.
"I've asked you to kiss your cheek. And until now I never got it. We've been dating for a year, Wit. Erika and Bondan are just a month dating already kiss lips." said Bagus while incubating.
Witri. His body suddenly felt hot as his blood boiled.
"I'm waiting for your answer to rest later on the perpus" said Good after they heard the entrance bell ringing.
Good to go by without looking again. Leaving Witri who was suppressing her sense of regret was silent.
