LITERACY

PART 63'S

"Today Arka didn't come in again, Ta." Delan said as the two met in the cafeteria during the second break.

Agatha breathed heavily, chicken noodles and her favorite orange juice that Delan had ordered since then was intact, untouched.

"Where is he? phone calls and messages from me were never replayed again." murmured Agatha.

It's been a week since their meeting at the hospital Arka's attitude and mannerisms changed. The tall young man even missed several times in class without explanation.

Sometimes enter, tomorrow truant, enter again and skip. It's even been 3 days in a row without any news.

"No one knows, until now, the basketball kids do not know where he went and why not ever practice basketball again, I ask them instead back nanya" explained Delan.

"That, huh?"

Delan nodded, "Yes, they even said, The last arka really joined the basketball boy in the last game. The match against BIMA SAKTI High School, after which Arka never nongol again. Just as we are also confused about the attitude of Arka, they are surprised by the change of Arka. In addition to the frequent numbers, he was also too mysterious."

Hearing all the changes that happened to Arka right after the incident of the Governor Tournament yesterday, Agatha thought that because Arka could not accept the defeat of his basketball team from the opposing team, without knowing that the real cause is himself and also Delan.

"Arca... The arka? why is Lo so weird gini anyway?" Agatha let out a long sigh again while stirring up the chicken noodles that had become porridge. "Lo tried calling her home address, didn't you, Lan?"

"Now too, Ta. In fact said Bik Arum, Arka every day school, this morning also."

"To school?" Agatha's surprised not playing.

"Yes, Bik Arum said that, because said Bik Arum Arka went to wear school uniforms as usual."

"Fix, there's no such thing as a child" Agatha flicked her hand.

"Look he's avoiding us no, Ta?"

Agatha was silent for quite a while, frowning.

"When I go to school, I'll go back to his house. We can not diem each other, if he who avoid means we have to run." said Delan later.

"Gue's coming too!"

...****************...

On the terrace of the house of Arka.

"Please drink Ma'am, Mas..." Buk Arum appeared, bringing two glasses of cold orange water to Agatha and Delan.

"Please, Bik.." said Agatha and Delan almost together. Either it had been a few times the glass was back in the contents, until the watch on Delan's wrist had shown at 6 pm.

"Sir.." call Agatha.

"Yes, why?"

"Yesterday What time is it back?"

"Night, bik?" Double kill's. Not only not going to school, but also going home late at night. Actually what Arka's doing out there.

"Yes, Ka, Ka...." Hiss Agatha.

Bik Arum looked at Agatha worriedly.

"Bibik knows, Arka usually goes where?"

Agatha looked expectantly at Bik Arum, but became lethargic at once Bik Arum immediately shook his head weakly.

"Den Arka never said mbak. Lately Den Arka is like that, often home at night. Even never come home, honestly aunt worried mbak."

"When you go home?"

Bik Arum nodded again.

Agatha bit her lower lip slowly inside, feeling anxious and worried about the change of Arka.

"Well, why the hell, Ka? soon we test, don't think what grades are..."

Slender.

Silent.

"Mami and Papinya know not bik, if Arka now this shape?" Bik Arum who had been looking at Agatha turned his head when Delan asked. Shaken, then looked down with sad eyes.

Delan took a deep breath before exhaling it slowly. Delan thinks he understands what caused Arka to change until here.

"We'll wait about an hour, okay, Ta?"

Agatha nodded, sipping her drink to the end.
