Longing Curtain

Episode 9

"I didn't cry because of your departure or because you left me for no reason. But I cried because I couldn't get out of this situation "

.

The events of the other day were still in the shadows in my mind. It was still clear how his cruel face and evil grin looked at me. The raining of knives and the blood that soaked the floor made me shudder in horror. I was afraid I would meet my death that day. Fortunately, he was just in time to save me otherwise I might not be gone now.

Imron was brought to the authorities to account for his actions. Although the look of regret is visible, but what is the power if we act but do not think first. As a result, Imron resignedly awaits what punishment will be given, because the demands are so heavy. He committed suicide and attempted murder, maybe the punishment will be severe this time.

The school is increasingly preoccupied with the graduation of the 12th grade. After passing a series of tests, they are now free to determine the course of his life. Live life according to what you want. But this will be a farewell to me.

I still don't believe what happened that night. He returned my embrace and rubbed my shoulder. So comfortable in his arms, that sense of security was nearby. I only chuckled when I remembered that hug. How can I move on like this.

"Zahrah!"

A loud, booming voice screamed at my ears. I looked forward, the sharp gaze of the Goddess ma'am made me glare. The frightened look from my classmates led to me. As if instructing to leave before the lion was enraged. I nervously held the book, as if watching the lesson.

"Zahrah! Look me in the eye!"

The voice sounded again. I looked at him doubtfully, his eyes turning red as if ready to swallow me raw. I gulped my salivary, punishment ready to wait.

"Why buk?"

Although a little stammered, I uttered a voice. The goddess looked at me while shaking her waist.

"You're wrong, is it?! Out now!"

My eyes are glaring, how could I not know my fault langsung punished?

"But ap-" my talk was already in between by him.

"There is no rejection! Out standing respecting the flag until the lesson is over!"

As a result I only resigned, when the Goddess mother had issued her anger. My steps were heavy to leave the chair, but the jolt from the Goddess maam accelerated my pace. All the students simply lowered their faces, not daring to look forward. It could be punished later.

Walk towards the school grounds. Strange looks from my upperclassmen and underclassmen I get. No matter what their gazes were I immediately stood in the courtyard respecting the flag.

The sun is rising, adding to the heat. I wipe the sweat that floods the body, it does not feel strong if it continues to linger standing here.

I glanced at the watch attached to my hand. The clock is moving very slowly. I let out a rough sigh, cursing in my heart. Here's how, if you don't pay attention to the teacher during the lesson.

Still in the same position standing straight facing the flag. The sharp look and the ridicule I got. It was cloudy my hand, but when I lowered my hand the jolt of the Goddess ma'am squealed my ear. Cussing in the heart, why if in the law time goes slowly anyway?

"Now, drink first "

That baritone voice resuscitated a bit of my daydream. Without looking at me just silence a thousand languages fear later if mother Goddess jerk me again.

"Thank you, I'm not thirsty "

Still in the same position without moving. Without any intention of knowing who cares about me.

"I know you're thirsty, drink first "

The bottle of mineral water that had been running for too long in the refrigerator made me want to sip it. It turned out that the person forced me to rest immediately. I turned to look at who insisted on giving the drink away.

A little surprised at the person on my side. Want to refuse but thirst can not be held.

"Thank you" I said. Sipped the mineral water up the toilet.

"Punished, again?"

I turned to her, she looked at me with a mocking look. I continued my punishment without answering the question again.

"At graduation soon, we have appointed you as the host. You want to, don't you?"

He casually said, while the wound had not healed completely. There was no word of apology in the slightest from his mouth, I was wrong to expect an apology from him.

"I can't" I said briefly.

"I beg you to Ra? Plis," he said, holding my right hand. The wound that has not closed perfectly makes me grimace because it is held by brother Angga.

"Aw," ringisku

"Why you?" ask brother Angga and directly turn the palm of the hand.

"Your hands are wounded, let me treat. "

He pulled my hand but I let go immediately.

"No need," I said. I was just wondering why he kept paying attention. He obviously only thinks of me as a sister.

"How was my offer?" i stare at. Instead of continuing to whine like a baby I just do.

"All right, I want to," I said.

I don't always have to hate someone. Because every human being has mistakes and our job is to forgive.

The weather was getting hotter, as if the sun was right above me. The sweat under my nose also started to add up. Another 10 minutes of punishment would end, but why did it feel like a month.

I heard the sound of breathing, I looked up. Not wrong again, Brother Angga is still on my right side while doing what I do. My forehead wrinkled, staring strangely at him. Want her hot together with me.

"Kak Angga why are you still here?"

She smiled sweetly at me. His smile discouraged me from being indifferent to him, but fate said something else.

"Fellowing you," he said briefly.

"I'm not a child to be with" I replied flatly.

"You are still a child, which is difficult to forgive the mistakes of others" Angga said.

Let me count a little boy who has trouble forgiving others. But it's true. He doesn't think he's sick in my position.

My legs were shaking and it was no longer strong to support my weight. My hands are wet with sweat. I can be sure I'll pass out in seconds if I don't get some rest. But it could be added to the punishment again if I end it now.

"You rest first yes, your face is pale lo ra "

Brother Angga held my forehead and looked at me seriously.

"I can still sis, only 5 minutes left "I wipe away the sweat that keeps flooding the forehead.

"Alright, if you are not strong rest," said Angga.

My throat started to dry, my tongue was bitter. Dizziness in the head becomes increasingly, eyes twitching hinted to immediately rested. Swallowing the rough saliva, tightness in the chest became increasingly difficult to regulate my breath.

One second

Two seconds

Three seconds

My body was piled to the ground, my energy was already drained away. Brother Angga crouched down to me and helped me to sit down.

"You're resting?" brother Angga looked at me intensely.

"I can kak stay a little more huk-" my speech was cut off by Angga's brother who suddenly snatched my words.

"How can?! Your face is so pale. Eliminate that stubborn attitude of your head Zahra! You think I don't want to see your condition! It's for your good Zahra!"

I felt like I wanted to shed tears when she snapped at me like that. Attention, but the wrong way. I immediately turned away not to face her face anymore. The pain came back.

"Zahra, you just rest. The punishment was over "mam Goddess shouted in front of the door.

I was still silent, it felt like to start the conversation so doubtful. He had no intention of persuading or apologizing in the slightest.

"Sorry I was yelling at you "I looked at him cynically, the feeling of resentment in the chest began to stir.

His hand stretched out to touch my shoulder helped me to stand up. At first I refused but seeing my condition it was impossible for me to handle it myself.

He brought me over from the field, gave me mineral water and eucalyptus oil. I sipped it until the toilet, my throat began to get wet it did not take a sip of water for 1 year. Slowly the tightness in the chest begins to disappear, but the pain in the heart has not closed completely.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you, I did it for your own good, too" Angga looked at me.

"No papa, I'm used to it" I said briefly.

The silence began to fall. Staring blankly in daydreams trying to guess what I was feeling right now. Again, I had to give in to the situation, and had to let go of someone who had filled my day.

"What time is training?" I broke the silence.

"No, you're sick again jad-"

"Tell me what time," I interrupted him immediately.

"Hour 2 after a break in the hall. But if you sa-"

"I'll come," I said.

Without warning I stood up straight from the chair, ignoring the strange look from him. Although my condition is still not good, I have to go. Because if I am not sure my eyes will dew and finally tears escape from the eye peluhan.

"Thank you for the help" I walked into the class.

Indeed, the pain in continue to be met by people who had made our hearts hurt. But the reality continues to be found so we will be difficult to let go.

I smiled wryly towards her seeing her sweet treatment. I shouldn't have behaved like this, maybe from today on I should forgive the mistakes of others according to what Angga's sister was talking about.
