JODOH: First Love

chapter 5 of farewell

Raya is preparing to go to school early in the morning, when the sun has not revealed its light. Raya, Hani and Maya have agreed to meet at school at 06.00 am, because they will make up at school just to save time, and it just so happens that Maya is reliable in this kind of thing. Maya has often come with her mother to decorate the bride (MUA), rather than they have to be a candidate and eventually will be late to school. because the salon close to the school will definitely be very queued at all. So the three of them took the initiative to utilize Maya's hidden talents alone.

When Raya just opened the gate of the house and will look for the usual ojek roasting across the house at dawn like this, she was shocked by the arrival of Rashid who uses a motorcycle and handed her a helmet right in front of her.

" this is wearing the helmet continues to go up" said Rashid.

Raya just nodded while trying to wear the helmet. somehow the helmet was like a hard one to wear, maybe because Raya was still shocked Rashid was in front of his house this early in the morning.

" Id his helmet is hard on the kancingin." said Raya as she puffed her cheek, as she began to get upset.

Rashid got off his bike facing Raya and tried to put the helmet on properly. After that Rashid then went back on his bike and told Raya to ride.

" I wonder if I left in the morning?" tanya Raya was confused and a little loud for fear that Rashid could not listen to her.

" Maya" answered Rashid briefly, explaining that it was Maya who had told him.

Raya just nodded her head after hearing Rashid's reply and asked again. " Why do you want to go to school early in the morning?"

" hold Ay." instead of answering Rashid instead told Raya to hold on.

" What do I want?" tanya Raya again while tightening her grip on Rashid's jacket.

" there is something that must be taken care of by the committee" replied Rashid

Raya frowned, "what is it?" tanya Raya again.

Rashid no longer answered and then accelerated the speed of his motorbike, so that it would quickly get to school.

after arriving at school Rashid put his motorcycle near the school hall and helped Raya open the helmet and tidied up Raya's messy hair in the wind.

" makasi, Id" said Raya.

Rashid just smiled and told Raya to quickly enter the class that the three girls had agreed to after making sure Raya met her friends. Rashid turned on his motorbike and left school.

Raya welcomed Maya and Hani who had arrived from earlier, and Maya had started to decorate Hani from earlier. Raya sits next to Maya and sees the results of Makeup on Hani's face.

"Ra was at Gunawan's anterin?" ask Maya.

Hani is confused why Maya asked that, Maya who told Rashid about their plan.Maybe, Maya knows that Rashid also has business here.

" you are usually always in the same control as Gunawan or Rashid, while Rashid yesterday told me that he could not come to school at dawn, because there is still work at home." maya is at length.

Raya only furrowed her brows, being confused. Make Rashid drive him to school. Finally Raya asked her two friends. "the children of the 2nd class committee are at the event?"

" why early in the morning blind gini they come here Ay, at least 06.30 new at their arrival." explained Hani.

" why look at the committee?" ask Maya.

" no" Raya just answered as necessary while walking out of the classroom.

" where are you going Ra?" ask Maya who saw Raya walking out.

" to the toilet broke." replied Raya without looking at her two friends.

Raya walked towards the hall where the event was still empty and tried to find the motorbike she was riding with Rashid was no longer there anymore.so Rasyid just drove her to school and left again. He had no business this morning at school.

" sit here, Ay." tell Maya to point to the chair that was in Hani's seat.

Raya sits quietly in the chair for fifteen minutes to be made up by Maya. After finishing makeup Kingdom, Maya makeup herself in front of the mirror that she had prepared.

***

when at exactly 07:30 they left the class preparing to go to the right farewell event, the twelfth grade children had also started to arrive to celebrate the day of farewell, and later there will be the announcement of graduation and the best graduates in school.

when Raya, Hani and Maya arrive at Hall's door to fill the list, Gunawan and Rashid come to them.

" Ray, very beautiful sich" said Gunawan teasing Raya.

" yes beautiful donk handwork who used to dong.." arrogant Maya, puffing chest.

" uh not because you're May, but she's beautiful. Isn't that Ray?" sahut Gunawan's.

" can not call me complete 'Raya' or 'Ra' ja, I swear to cut people it feels if you are calling it." sewot Raya.

all those who were there laughed to see Gunawan who intended to tease Raya even got sprayed with Raya.

after that they queued to fill the absence which happened to be separated according to the alphabet, so the name Naraya Nadira adjacent to the name Muhammad Rashid. and they stood next to each other while the names of their three friends were about 2 tables away.

" you are very beautiful today." whispered Rashid when Raya was filling the absences and filling the property of Rashid.

Raya who heard Rashid whisper faintly made her cheeks meet red and walked first into the hall without waiting for anything else.

***

The farewell ceremony went smoothly Rashid delivered farewell greetings with great effectiveness and charisma so that he made the twelfth grader teary-eyed, tearful, and after that, event after event went smoothly without significant obstacles, Raya got the title of the best graduate of the year, because of some achievements she had earned during her three years of schooling here, as well as the highest final exam scores in their class.

after the event was over they took pictures together, but from after Raya got off the stage to receive the Rashid award was no longer there. Raya asked Gunawan where Rashid was, but Gunawan also did not know where Rashid went.

"Gun, see Rashid?" tanya Raya while looking left and right, looking for the existence of Rashid who is usually always with Gunawan.

" it was said Rashid wanted to go home, just not saying goodbye if he had already come home" replied Gunawan explained.

" what do you want to do with him?" tanya Raya's.

" he said he had to leave sooner, because there are some things that must be taken care of for college later, and can not be represented or delayed" replied Gunawan.

Raya finally chose to go home alone, because the event was already finished and just stayed to take pictures.

when Raya walked past the children of the eleventh-grade committee, there was one who gave Rashid custody to him.

" sister Raya, this is a deposit from sister Rashid." explained the child while giving a gift box.

" thank you "answer Raya while taking the gift box.

when Raya was about to leave, the younger class sister conveyed a message again. "o, yes brother Rashid said in the open at home ja, not here. moreover, do not open it if it is the same brother Gunawan" he said while going to friends who are cleaning the hall.

" thank you once again "sahut raya rather screamed fear not heard.

sometimes separation does not have to end with the word, just leave without the word so as not to leave a wound.
