"Non the food's ready." Sumi from the kitchen.
" Yes bi, thank you."
" Let's eat first brother, I'm starving." Take me to Brother Zean who is still busy observing the wounds on my face and hands, I stand up and go to the kitchen.
"Heem." Brother Zean answered briefly and then he followed behind me.
" Can I go to the bathroom?" Brother Zean asked after we were near the dinner table.
" Of course, the bathroom is right over there, brother." I answered while pointing at the bathroom not far from the kitchen.
I sat down on the dining table chair and picked up some rice for Brother Zean, I thought when Brother Zean came out the rice was not too hot anymore.
I saw my watch, it was this hour why Arum had not yet arrived here, but suddenly there was a knock on the door, I went to open it, long life once he, he said, I was just talking about it, it was already in front of the house.
" Why so long?" I said after the door opened, I was wide-eyed because not only Arum who was at the door, there was Dita and the brother of the head of the sausage who was said to be named Awan, he smiled and waved his hand at me.
" Why is he?" I whispered in Arum's ear.
" I'm sorry, he's done wanting to come, he threatened me to report to the teacher about the incident if I didn't let him come." Bisik Arum.
" Oh, let's go in."
" Go in Dit."
" Please come in, brother."
I let them sit in the living room.
" What is the condition of your feet?" Ask Dita.
" I'm fine Dit, just sprained."
" Thank God, I was freaking out when Arum said you were taken to the hospital."
" You really don't want to report to that kid?" Brother Awan interrupted my and Dita's conversation.
" No, I don't want it to be long."
" But Naura's gone too far Ndi, look at this pretty face scratched." Imbuh Dita who did not accept my decision.
" I can't bear it until he gets punished from school, let it go, hopefully he can realize his mistake."
" I don't think he'll ever notice his mistake." Chirps Arum.
" In the classroom alone he acted as if nothing had happened, he just moved his seat, besides that he was still a cute and weak child." Imbuh Dita again.
" Oh yeah, what do you want to drink?" I bargained after remembering I haven't presented anything to my friends.
" Anything." Answer the Cloud.
I got up from my seat, intending to ask bi Sumi to help serve drinks and some snacks to my friend.
" Sweety, let's eat, she said hungry." Said Brother Zean who suddenly came and grabbed my waist without him realizing there were my friends in this room.
Brother Awan rounded his eyes when he saw Brother Zean in my house, while Arum and Indhi just shook their heads in disbelief with the actions of their teacher.
" Mister Zean here. Sweety, why did Mr. Zean call Indhi with sweety?" Ask Brother Awan with his confused face.
" I told you brother, your rivals are heavy, you don't believe." Arum's chirps casually made me and Brother Zean glare at him.
" You've been caught red-handed again, percumah dodged, kak Clouds is smart, he can't possibly be lied to." Arum added, which is getting clearer about our relationship.
" So they?" Ask brother Clouds.
" Yes, they're dating brother, better just back off, your heavy rival will not be strong 😂😂" Arum asserted with a faint smile on his face.
" I haven't even advanced yet and you've told me to back off." Brother Clouds said weakly, he lowered his head.
" Sister, can you keep it a secret." My love for the Clouds still down.
" When were you together, wasn't the teacher forbidden from connecting with his students?" Sindir kak Awan, he stared intently at Brother Zean.
" We were together before Brother Zean became a school teacher, so please keep this a secret until Brother Zean stops teaching, I beg you, brother."
" Sir Zean will stop?" Shouted Dita with her floor.
" Yes, Brother Zean will stop after class, so I beg you, please keep this a secret."
" Alright, I don't want to make a fuss at school either. But..." Brother Awan hung his sentence.
" But what's brother?" Askaqua.
" Let's be friends." He said a little doubt.
Arum and Dita laughed together at the request of our Osis chairman.
" Of course, I'm very happy to be friends with the chairman of Osis like a big brother." My words are full of relief because Brother Awan only asked to be friends with me.
" Let's eat together then." Barak Zean who had chosen to be silent.
Brother Zean helped me walk to the dinner table and then the three of them followed behind me and Brother Zean.
That afternoon we had lunch happily, brother Awan also easily mixed with us, we exchanged many stories and that made the atmosphere even more exciting when Arum and brother Awan did not stop arguing with each other.
*******
A week after the incident, sister Ega never came to see me, she did not even come to dinner, but the mother who invited her, she only sent me a message that she was very busy lately.
Every morning for a week, my mom would take me to school. Brother Zean strongly agreed that my mother would take me, because if I were to go with her, I would have to get off by the side of the road and walk to school. Now we have to be more careful, Zean said, wait a few more months until he stops, so we will be free to meet anywhere and at any time without worrying about being caught off guard by others.
But what made me sad was Naura, she didn't change at all, which I saw as if she hated me even more, she changed seats and never greeted me again.
*******
Day after day passed, months changed, not feeling I was at the end of class X, the class will be up soon and it means that Zean and I will not have to bother to hide our relationship when Zean stops.
My ankle was completely healed but I decided not to go with Brother Zean again, sometimes mother took the time to take me, but I often took a motorcycle to go to school.
For Ega's sister, it's been almost 5 months that I never saw her again, last met, when my leg was injured she asked me to act like I used to do again, but the fact is that it was Brother Eg who did not keep his promise, he is leaving us now.
Several times I went to her in the hospital, but nil, her schedule was always full and I gave up on seeing her again. Just a few messages he sent as a sign that he was still alive and under the same sky.
Seriate...
