Just a Monkey's Love
Chapters 2. First Menstruation
Heavy rain poured into the city this morning infiltrated by cold air added to the long stay in bed, reluctant to rise. Before long my alarm went off, my alarm was not an ordinary clock, but Mama's shrill, repetitive yelling.
“Raline, cepet banguuuunn” shouted Mama while pulling my blanket
“ntar Ma.. still pusiiinnnggg” I replied while holding back the pull of the blanket Mama.
“aduh koq virgin child wake up day and day, ntar his provision at the chicken stake, a shower, already breakfast, not yet nyiapin book, check the task, there is PR ga?”
this morning Mama nyerocos continued without a semicolon, if I did not get up soon she continued to threaten me with a sack of water that was ready to land on my face.
“now Sunday... Mamaaaaa..”.
“oh yes forgot hehe..”.
“Ma... Raline sleepy, Semalem stay up Ma”
“why stay up?”
“tau gak Ma, the Senni story if he abis giving love letters to Aland” I immediately woke up and wiped my eyes.
“love letter?”
“iya Ma”
“still yourself?” ask Mama to believe
“ya is Ma”
“great courage her Nak”
“dia is brave Ma”
“hooh ga rich son Mama, move if the intention doank !”
“ish... Mama, why am I Ma”
“you yourself?”
“apanya?”
“masa ga no one likes rich Senni sih”
“ah.. ga is Ma”.
“Masa? Mama often gotipin you with Mama Senni”
“nggaaa Maaaa...” my words somewhat dodge.
“continue Johan who?”
“ahh.. Senni it's nagging, Johan it's my classmate Ma..”
“tenment what temeeeen?” seductive Mama while
“iya temen ga special”
I became misbehaved, I cursed Senni for even screaming about me to her Mama and up to my Mama's ears,
my mother became increasingly kepo and often ledekin me by calling me Johan.
I remember a love letter from Johan,
don't-don't you read the letter in my thought bag
I hurried to the room to check my bag, Johan once gave me a letter and chocolate that I liked, the chocolate was all gone, but the question he asked me had not been answered, I reasoned that I wanted to concentrate on studying, just wanted to make friends.
“duh where ya his letter, koq ga there in sih” bag
“from what Nak? Love letter from Johan huh?” said Mama who suddenly she was already standing behind me
“ish Mama nih... why the hell should keep Ma, right privacy Ma” how sorry I am to Mama because she always wanted to know her son's business to the point of a very personal matter.
“you still need advice from your parents, maybe someone else can be your friend no matter how much it is, but the best friend is your own Mama, she will always keep your secret, she will always keep your secret, your shortcomings and support you even though he feels unable to do that but he will try to continue to take care of you until whenever” mama began to lecture
“ye lah tuu” replied Papa while smiling at me.
“What Papa knows?” I looked at Papa in disbelief.
“hahaha..” The two of them glanced at each other and laughed together.
“nesehat Mama just doank, Papa tau” proof I can only manyun and my emotions messy, spill all my secrets this morning.
“Raline, salim ama Papa” said Mama, while deflecting my body that had wanted to go back to the room.
After salim I immediately ran to the room because of embarrassment, I immediately turned on my computer and ventured through the diary application that I locked.
Already at this age I have not been bought a cell phone, mama is afraid I will do things out of her control.
Sadly, when friends are busy playing mobile phones, I just stare and struggle with a notebook that I scribble.
Sreeetttt. Suddenly I felt something warm in my pants, tecium fishy smell, I reflexively lifted my body and felt my sleeping pants.
“Mamaaaaaaa..” I screamed so loud that my Mom panicked.
“What's the matter?”
“ada blood in my pants”
“ya kirain kirain what a fuss amat”
I cried sobbing, all my life I just experienced this, indeed my other friend once said it was menstrual blood, he said the pain was very torturous, a lot of abstinence to do.
“it's Raline's menstrual blood, it's a sign that you're going through puberty, it's okay because women are like that” Mama calms me down.
“terus how should I? He said his period can't go anywhere. His blood must be in Gimanain?”
“bentar mama brought the sanitary napkin” Mama passed from before me to take the sanitary napkin in her room.
I know that Mama is menstruating like to wear pads, and sometimes wash them every midday or at night.
And I was still silent while trembling because I still couldn't believe I had experienced everything that women had experienced. Then Mama went back to my room and gave me a plastic pad
“nih pack !”
“this how it makes?”
“pair on pants, where are your dalemz pants”
I then took it from my closet and gave it to Mama, mama gave me a briefing, and explained what to do during menstruation. It's complicated being a woman and I feel the rush now.
I let out a long sigh and fell on the bed with my body still trembling.
“still that cheer? ga anything is normal, will be routine every month” Mama calms me while stroking my head soothing.
In the afternoon I felt unnatural heartburn, I often turned back to the water, but I did not want to defecate at all.
“Raliinee” shouted Senni from behind my front door.
I heard my mom open the “eh door.. Senni let's enter Nak” not long after that I saw Senni enter and walk into the living room,
“thank you aunt, Raline is there?”
“ada tuh, just there directly !” point Mama
“good aunt thanks “
“tante ready to snack first yes!”
“ga nothing, rich same as anyone.”
Not long from there Senni approached me,
"ih... You're not my nyamperin" he scolded, he was surprised to see me groaning in pain while pressing on the stomach. I woke up and tried to sit down.
“Ralineeee...” He ran towards me and immediately hugged me, he looked excited and delighted more than usual.
“what's new?”
“so I watch crush I play ball, keep abis sorted I samperin he keep I love cold drink”
“terus”
“ I'm very cool, he still sget the same me, he said thanks brown”
“hhmmm..”
“koq is his expression flat, ga seneng what?”
“mau honestly what boong?”
“ya be honest !”
“welcome yes Sen, your approach is slow in response, already so much love in silence and finally you dare, hebaaattt...” I replied while enduring a very unpleasant stomach pain
“you why Ra? Koq dry cold Ra, are you sick?”
“iya nih, I'm haid”
“ya pampuun, Finally. welcome to your puberty which will be colorful yes Ra.. congratulation”.
“hehe..” I laughed forcedly.
“ntar tuh ya Ra, you will enjoy pounding to meet Johan, ga again mediocre, it feels like I want to continue, will continue to kangeen, if one day I meet you want to meet”
“lebay ! You well say the same Mama you so nyampe to my ears, you know not Mama, Papa so ledekin I continue, and again love letter from Johan the same will of Mama I.”
“cciiieeee...” by Senni.
“ih instead cie..”
Senni repeated his story happily, until he forgot it was night, after dinner with my family, Senni said goodbye to go home .
“thank You..Aunty.. eat the malem, Senni pamit” he said
“Om anterin Yes Sen.”
“Please Om do not, just a little more Brother I nyampe koq, already in Whatsapp”
“oh yes already so” Shortly afterwards Brother Senni came
“sampe tomorrow Raline” I smile and wave both my hands.
...----------------...
Monday Morning, though,
The rain was still reluctant to go this morning, all night I could not sleep, I don't know what will happen today, my period has not been well, and this is the second day, and this is the second day, yesterday was a long day gone.
Grateful yesterday Senni came home with all the stories she brought, I so slightly forgot the discomfort due to menstruation, if I were a man, I would not bother like this, so women troublesome.
not as usual, I was ready to go to school at 06:30, but still drizzling, the floor in the yard of the muddy house was hit by a patch of raindrops, Papa is still busy with games on his phone while sipping coffee that Mama made.
"Pa... Let's go now !" I said while putting the provisions that Mama had prepared on the table for me.
"a little while longer, huh?responsibility" Papa's responsibility
no matter how early I get ready to leave at papa 5 minutes before school, sucks.
arriving at school, only this time I felt this much nervousness, my feet hesitated and trembled to the hands, radiating into the jellyfish and successfully melted all the indifference that I used to feel when I entered school.
GLEEKK. I gulped very heavily.
Moreover, Johan spontaneously looked at me without flinching a bit, managed to make me clumsy.
I swept a glance at every corner of the classroom, but did not find Senni present.
Johan suddenly came near me, my heart was beating fast, his smile was expanding, I could only dumbly without being able to say a word.
"Senni said she's not coming in, can I sit with you?"
I was still silent, Senni must have been nosy and said something to Johan.
"emm sorry, what did you say?"
"we sit down"
"ahhhh... Nggaa.. Don't don't.." I just had a long talk with a man this time
"why?" Ask
"what an awkward thing, I'll tell you if you're not the same as him" I tried to refuse his offer.
"it's normal that he's mah" Johan said convincingly.
I painstakingly refused it. The ceremony bell rang, I prepared to go to the field with Johan behind me, for being uncomfortable, I scolded him in front of my friends.
Johan looked very embarrassed, and all his friends were taunting him.
I'm getting bad at saying that to her. Next time I won't repeat.
Suddenly my menstrual pain crumbled, I again felt cold sweat and dizziness that could not be held, my breathing began to tight and my vision began to blur, Johan who was standing in the male line immediately caught my body that was suddenly gone, half conscious I was taken to the UKS room to be examined.
"thank you, sorry to have your nicotine"
"ga nothing"
"if there's no you, I don't know what to do"
"it's okay" he replies, perhaps he's still not feeling well for being reprimanded by me.
"sorry about that, I know you are rich because of my attitude, I just feel uncomfortable, afraid of other enemies"
"don't talk about it !!" it looked a tinge of annoyance on his face "I'm aware koq, you don't like me, you don't eat it you don't love me, maybe I'm not your type"
"…" I didn't answer anything, I could only bow.
"it's okay we're friends first, maybe you need time" he said
"mmm.. Let's go first, thank you for understanding me"
"yes, I have to go to the field again, are you okay here by yourself?
"father"
Finally I was alone in the UKS room while the other PMR members were busy watching in the field, I laid my body on the patient's bed.
When I fell down, there was a PMR carrying another patient.
They chatted like they were unaware of my presence, I felt that his voice was not unfamiliar.
Out of curiosity I peeked out from behind the curtain, the man was Senni's crush.
