Lara's Admirers

Episode 80's

　

　

It is better for now it feels like Arka does not need to know first about this selection. But I'm not sure if it will be as I expected, Stefani's mouth must have revealed this to everyone. Just try if yesterday mama did not discuss this at the dinner table, surely the girl will not know until now. But yes, I have also almost given up on facing that one girl.

After finishing lunch to fill the energy, mama and papa continued their journey to meet the landowner in the Cimahi area. They had made an appointment to meet before. While they were gone, I went back to the hotel room to continue my berberes. Mom and Dad used to invite me to come with them, but I refused them outright.

I checked my phone which just showed me at two in the afternoon, almost half three. With heavy steps, I picked up my suitcase which still contained a few more clothes. If I pass this test, then I'll probably take the interview. The scholarship organizer also said that if later every participant who has escaped will immediately hold a photo shoot for various purposes.

‘DRRTTT!!’

Suddenly my phone shook slowly, as usual. But if usually I always let the notification just like that, this time somehow I actually open it. I am very busy right now.

“Hai!” yell at them from across there.

“Official lo sha, we again video call even lo see lo.” ears said one of them, which if I guess from his voice is Adit.

“Eh?!” I said while removing the rectangular object from my ear.

After keeping it a little off my face, I finally realized it. My habit that I have never changed is to pick up the phone carelessly, without seeing from whom and what type of phone it is. Really make me embarrassed, want to put where my face if it's like this it happens.

“Hai!” say them again.

“Hai..” reply me in a flat tone.

Sure enough, as I had guessed before, surely now they all knew the truth. What time it is, shouldn't there still be class.

“Adit, Arca, Titan, Stefani, Clara..” my inner self in heart.

I tried to remove their faces one by one from the glass screen. The human children are unique and funny, surely models like this will be very difficult to find in South Korea later. Again, I realized one thing that made me happy.

“Clara returned to Jakarta?” ask them.

“Udah, last night just arrived.” he said.

“So how, won?” ask me one more time.

“Let's sha, but its okay. The name is also a competition, there must be a loser and someone wins.” he explained.

“List is a delayed win. Believe me ra, the same thing called miracle.”, I said enthusiastically.

“Wonders?” ask Titan who suddenly chimed in on our virtual conversation..

I nodded, saying his words. Sometimes there are some things that we never thought would happen, even happen with the opposite. Failure should not force us to give up. Because there are some things that just happen outside the common sense of man in general. It is difficult to explain the concept of the universe, because that is what is called a miracle.

“That day, the day that made me the most useless human being. I stopped believing in the name of the miracle sha, I stopped hoping about that ridiculous thing.” he explained while lowering his gaze.

“Its okay.” reply short.

Not everyone can believe that one thing. Because generally miracles are often strange and unreasonable. That's why not everyone can accept it easily. With me who didn't believe in all of that at first. The things I thought were just nonsense before. And when I really felt it for myself, I thought that by then my sanity had begun to be disturbed.

“Eh, indeed you guys play mobile phone this time are not afraid of being scolded by what teacher?” I said while switching the subject.

“Udah home time.” replied Stefani so casually.

I nodded in understanding with the intent of his words just now. I forgot about that one. It's Saturday now, so they should have gone home.

All I know is that the topic we discussed earlier has begun to be unpleasant. So it should not be extended if it will only aggravate the atmosphere. Just like love affairs that sometimes like to be confused. At first, people may think that falling in love is beautiful, and never think about how the end of the story will be. The name fell must be sick, just waiting for how. Will be hurt or fine.

Same thing as a hope that is no longer possible to always be expected, to always be interrogated. There are some hopes that we can not hold on to forever, or even at least until tomorrow. Because slowly the hope turned into a cruel feeling that will only hurt the owner. Turned into empty hopes that memperksa mingle with space.

That's why we have to let go so as not to hurt. Because basically not all expectations must be with the owner. There are some expectations that can not be realized, because it is too bold. Because they have now turned into something that is no longer good. So it's good to just let go. Because letting go is the best way to give him a chance at life. Live with new owners and may be realized with new people as well.

“Udah lunch?” ask Arka suddenly.

“Yeah..” reply me briefly.

“Lo's question is too mainstream to know ka.” timpal Titan with a tone that seems patronizing.

“Keep lo how?” asked Arka in a flat tone, added with her cynical look.

“Sha, today have you thought I haven't?” say Titan while mimicking the Arka style of speech.

Arka almost stuck her head with her bare hands. He thought the man would give good advice for him, it turned out that only a momentous trembling for Arka. It has absolutely no value at all when viewed from any spoon he said just now.

“Good luck make tomorrow.” said Arka with a thin smile.

“Thanks.” reply me briefly.

“If for example you go to college in South Korea, Arka goes to Australia we are the same who dong?” rengek Adit with his pretentious expression was funny.

“Gue is likely to follow me back to our village in Bali.” said Titan with a sad look.

“Gue will also continue to study in Jogja or not to China.” continued Clara.

“Gue hopes to get into the university of my dreams, hopefully someday I can enter UI.” Adit was obviously hopeful.

‘Amin...” reply us all at the same time.

“If you are stef, what are your plans after finishing school?” ask me about that girl.

“Maybe I will stay in Jakarta and work at the cafe. After that maybe I can be a full-time employee, so my salary can be greater.” he replied in a sad tone.

“No need to be so pessimistic as a person, after all, there are many opportunities for scholarships.” said Arka while nudging the girl deliberately.

“Ya already, just relax dong lo.” reply Stefani who looks lazy to respond.

“You can do it stef!” timpal.

The girl simply replied to him with a small smile. I know that there is still a strong desire within him. As long as he has the will, then no one will be able to stop his steps. I knew if she was a strong girl, she was tough and indeed raised for it. I believe that one day in the future I will welcome him with the joy of victory.

“Before graduation guys, that means our time is not much more.” said Adit who looks so serious for the first time.

“That means we should have more time to gather together like gini again.” continued Titan who added to his speech.

We were all pensive after listening to Adit's words just now, Titan has a point too sometimes. We should have talked more often like this, fate should have found us earlier so we have more time to be together.

I'm a little disappointed actually about this one. Why do I have to meet all of them, in my last school year like this. The people that I thought were annoying at first and would only get me in trouble, turned out to be the opposite. One year is enough time for us to get to know each other and take care of each other. But one year is not enough time for you to sit down and spend the story together. Because the friendship story will never end at any time.

I never thought we'd be this close and familiar before. In retrospect, I can be close to these genius children. I'm not sure if the contents of my brain are equivalent to theirs. But it was the moans of fate that brought me here to be with them, and vice versa.

If asked about farewell, I guess I don't really like that one. I'm not ready to just take them off. After going through a difficult search, I finally found them. If you say ready or not ready, then I will definitely answer it by not. If I can bargain with time, then I will choose to slow down the breakup. Or I'll repeat the meeting so there's no farewell. But like I said, there are some things we have to let go of every day. Because it's not going to be good if we keep holding it.

“We should be more beneficial in no time, free time on the sidelines of our busyness.” said Stefani who began to get carried away.

“Readings are difficult to meet again later if we have started to go one by one. One day after graduation, maybe we're still in town and we're nowhere. But we will not know in the future how it will be. Time continues to go forward, regardless of who is waiting for her.” explained Clara at length.

I moved to the top of the bed. The position of the fall will be much better than squatting on the floor tiles. It seems like this conversation will last a long time, so I'm not sure if I can hold out that long down there.

“If we both have free time occasionally the road does not hurt right?” adit's proposal with his brilliant idea.

“Well, really real tumben dit.” reply me while nodding in agreement with this man's proposal.

“What have I been wrong all this time?” he asked while glaring a cynical look at me.

I sipped my saliva with great difficulty. Looks like I mispronounced again, oops! Although I only saw his face from the glass screen of my phone, but the meaning of the emotion being conveyed by him was really felt. Distance is not a barrier to all of this. Whether you want it directly or not, it feels the same.

“E-eng-no. All this time you really really, just sometimes like not right anyway.” explained me while grinning as innocent.

Someone putting on a plain and innocent look like this does not hurt either. They would not have the heart to scold me. After all, who would have to yell at a cute girl, like Bubles in the Power Puff Girl cartoon.

“Keeps wrong equally less exactly what's the difference sha?” ask her once again with a very flat facial expression.

“Ya it means yes it is very different..” I said with hesitation while playing my finger.

“If it is not accurate it is a wrong word that refined the pronunciation.” I explained clearly.

I don't even know what I just said. I just said it at first, when there was something I was thinking about at the time. As I thought before, they definitely did not understand what I said just now. I just don't understand, let alone them. Adit took a bad look at me, of course I know what he means. It is very clear if the man is holding back his frustration on me for a while.

It seems I'm more suited to psychology, or something. I think I'm pretty talented in that one area. Although so far I have not decided what majors I want to take while in college, but obviously I will decide soon. I will take a field that I like and will always like until whenever, or at least until I finish my studies in that field.

“When do you return to Jakarta again?” ask Arka who finally started to open her voice.

The man was the one who spoke the least, when compared to the others. Still the same, he was always efficient in speaking.

“Lusa or tomorrow maybe.” I replied with a little hesitation.

“Don't long go, ntar Titan who want to fill your place.” explained Arka while clucking.

“Hehe, sorry yes sha. I hitchhiked in your seat for a while can I?” connect the man in question by directly grabbing only.

“Heemmm....” reply me briefly.

“Thank you so much sha.. lo is indeed my best friend the best la pokkoya.” said Titan with a little exaggeration.

For a few minutes, we spent time chatting together via video calls. To the extent that the five people were expelled from the school by the security guard. Of course because this place will be closed soon, it is too late in the afternoon and after all there are no more activities in this place. End of the week like this is usually very rarely there are exculpatory activities or such. If the five people do not come out immediately, then they will be locked there for some time until the school gate is opened again.

In the end those people just pulled over to the baeah stop in front of the school. I don't know why they were so excited to call me. We usually meet almost every day. It would be weird if they missed their best friend this one just because I hadn't been in school for a few days. I won't be hanging around here for long anyway. Wait until my business is done later, then I will go back to the look and re-assemble with them again.

They thought I wouldn't miss them, just like they missed me. The bar a few days we didn't meet was like this. Then what would happen if we all really separated from each other, traveling to the other hemisphere with different directions and goals. Will there be a chance for all of us to miss each other again. I hope it will always be like this, I hope that if only one stops and continues to spin in the moment continuously until forever. Maybe this story will remain forever, like the story of the vampires who will never die, he said. But unfortunately every story is required to end, now or later.

“You're not going back home? I was this afternoon.”, I said while glancing at the wall clock.

“We want to see the sunset from this school, just like the previous days.” explained Clara who is now found to hold the phone, because Stefani seems to have begun to ache.

“We will also take some photos for mementos. Indicates that we used to school here.” he continued.

“Why don't we have extra lesson hours? Why wait until two o'clock?” ask me one more time.

“If an ordinary day is rame, many people, not cool. So this mumpung atmosphere is quiet and the weather is also good.” obviously the girl patiently.

I just nodded with what he said.

“We are alike-see sunset yes! You see from the sky of Bandung, I see from the sky of Jakarta. About the sunset will be the same as yes.” said Arka who suddenly play nyelonong into the camera frame.

“Ya is obviously the same, the sun is only one.” reply me with confidence.

“Then we prove it later.” he said once again.

“OK.” reply me short.
