LOVE IS A WOUND

Chapters 14. Connecting for the First Time

When I came home from school, Alfisa was waiting for me at the school gate.Ugh, this afternoon is very hot.If you obey my will, I am lazy to go anywhere.But, well, I am,how else.I have already agreed with Alfisa to go to the Police together to visit Azril.

"Al, have you been here a long time?"

"old?No, kok.So I'm new from the bathroom.Obias, it was fitting break I mostly put chilli on my meatballs"

"Huh..Basic you!Not strong to eat chili, but always eat a lot of chili!"

"Hehe..I think it's Orok, deh!He.he.."

"Oh, there's an angkot!", I shouted.

We immediately stopped the orange-colored carcass and entered it.

This is my first time riding angkot.Typically I always go home from school riding ojol.Atau if again there is no money, I walk.

"Lo,Al, can we see Azril at this hour?As far as I am not at all times, Deh, I can visit people in detention.I think there are hours" I said.

"No idea, yeah!Let's try to get there first!"

--

Azril changed completely.A horrible change!He was like he had been kidnapped by aliens, then operated on by them.I mean, I don't recognize him!I thought he was someone else.But after I observed again he was no one else, but Azril.

"Why are you, Zril?Why are you being like this?"

Azril must have noticed that there was a curious tone in my question, Besides, I observed it from head to toe.

I see his body is not as big and as thick as it used to be.His body is now thin dry like a malnourished person.Hair that used to be neat and always combed using pomade, now awut-awutan.His body that used to smell because it was sprayed with perfume, and,now it is no longer fragrant.Even tend to be chaotic.

"Why?What do you care?"

I replied annoyedly, "I'd rather your former appearance!"

"Well, it's over" Azril said with a smile.

"But that's not good, Zril!"

"Huh!If I see you I'm so upset.How else are you here?Want to pity me?Or do you want to talk about my appearance?I hate you!!Go there!", snapped Azril.

"I'm here so you're happy and because I still care about you, Zril!"

"Easy!Get going!", yell at Azril again."There are a lot of guys who like you!Don't mind me!Just go!Go awayl..Go!!!"

Huh!I do not believe this.I do not believe Azril who used to be very gentle when he was talking to me.Now he became very rude.What does he hate me so much?

He seems to hate me so much, "Why?Why should we hate each other like this, Zril?Can't we go back to being friends like we used to be without hate?"

So this is how, because I mutusin Azril, he became very hate me.I mean I actually still want to be friendly with him.Because frankly, there is no one as good as him.He was always kind and considerate to me.

"Ras, let's go out first.Maybe Azril still need time to digest this all.Let him alone first".

"But, Al!"

"It's been..Let's go.Let's come back here again"

Then Alfisa looked towards Azril."Zril, we go home first, yes, you are fine, yes, here I will always pray for you so that you can get out of this problem"

Azril raised his drooping head."Thanks,Al!"

Today is my bad day.Because in this day, there are Javanese lessons.That means, I have to sit two hours listening to things that I do not understand.Maklum, be it.I am not a Javanese.Why, clean,there should be Javanese language lessons.It also means I will be a mockery if asked to do a problem on the board.Kerjakan about Javanese script is my biggest scourge.

Every time Mr. Bambang, my tacky Java teacher asked a question, the kids in the class were always jockeying, "Tanya Laras, Pak!"Hdh..

My heart deg-degan as if to be dislodged.Pak Bambang always asked a random child to write Javanese script to the board.

"Ras, why are you?How tense is that?", whispered Dinda who was sitting next to me.

"I'm afraid to be appointed Mr. Bambang, Din!", whispered to me as well.

"Street, forward!", said Mr. Bambang from the front of the class.

"Clearned!Come forward!", cried Mr. Bambang again.

"eeee..Sa.", sweat pouring out of my brow."I'm.me..".Suddenly Satrio held out his hand.

"Sir, let me do it, Pak!", he said.

Mr. Bambang looked towards Satrio."Yes, Satrio.Please come forward!"

Hhhh..I let out a sigh of relief.

But soon the whole class was rame."Ciee..Husband-to-be, nih!Laras husband candidate is great, nih.So Hero!Already facing the prospective in-laws yet, nih!"

Sir!Sir!Pakkk!

Mr. Bambang banged his wooden ruler on the table."Hushmmm!Calm all!Satrio, move forward!"

I bow my head.I'm ashamed.Why, sih.Satrio should do that?I will be the material of the first class.

"Why are you, Ras?", asked Dinda.

"I'm ashamed, Din.Diledekin's a first-class boy!"

"Hm..You're a freak, if I'm sure I'm even grinning!He was like a white equestrian prince who came to save the princess!"

I leaned my head against the window.Why did Satrio have to do that?

---

The break bell has rung.

Satrio came to me.It felt so strange.There was a guy as handsome as he came to my desk.

"Hi, Ras!", he said politely.I feel clumsy.I feel many pairs of eyes that see me.

"Why are you here?", I half whispered.

"Emang why?I am free to go anywhere!", he replied.

"Yes, but look, no.Everyone sees us.Where if there is a moto or mideoin.Continue uploading to pacebook, instargram, or ucub how?It will be destroyed, your image!", I said still in a whisper.

"I don't care!", he said.

I snorted annoyed.Huh this is the child of the mother at will.Over time Satrio added crunched.

"Let's go to the cafeteria!", he said as he pulled my hand forcefully.

"Ihh, don't make you,dong!", I said.

"Udah, yoke!I'm the deal!You eat whatever you can!", said Satrio as he pulled my hand again.But his hand was held back by Hendra.

"You heard, didn't you!Laras said that he did not want to!", said Hendra firmly.

"Eh, you don't have to interfere, yes!", snapped Satrio.I saw his white face began to blush.Pertanda he was at the peak of his anger.

"Let go!Laras said he didn't! Make no sense!", said Hendra while pulling me towards him.

"B*******you, yes!How dare you interfere!"

Bukkkkk!!!!

Satrio hit Hendra in the face with his right hand.

Bukkkkk!!

Hendra also retaliated against Satrio's blow.Today blood flowed from their mouths.It looks like their lips broke.

"Stoopp!!Stoppp!!!You guys are always solving problems with muscles!", I'm trying to mediate them.

I pulled Satrio's hand."Don't fuss anymore.Let's go to the cafeteria!"

I walked in a bit hastily still clasping Satrio's hand.Etah why I want to immediately keep Satrio away from Hendra.
