Love of High School Children

The arrival of the gods

*****

Hearing her Oma's words, Ruby suddenly felt afraid of losing the person who loved her so much, there was concern in Ruby's heart because of the thought of the Goddess who was about to leave her and suddenly talked about the usual thing, which was the same thing, leaving the messages that initially felt ridiculous it turned out to be the last mandate of the Goddess.

Although Ruby did not have the obligation to fulfill the request of her late best friend, Ruby still always ringed the words of the Goddess in her mind.

"Oma promise not to stay in Ruby ..," Ruby wirred with glazed eyes then grabbed the Omanya's hand and clutched tightly in her chest. Ms. Rahma just smiled then gently rubbed her grandson's hair.

"Do you already have feelings for someone?" mama asked Rahma looking seriously at Ruby. Asked like that the look on Ruby's face suddenly met red, although she had never dated anyone but it could not be denied if in her heart had kept the name of a man, namely Abian his best friend.

"Akh Oma, Ruby is young, still in school, no thoughts of dating just yet. Kan Oma once told Ruby to learn well and achieve Ruby's ideals as high as possible," replied Ruby trying to cover up her true feelings.

"Oma know .. You have to achieve your dreams and ideals in accordance with what you expect, but Oma is calmer if when you struggle in your dream there is a man who accompanies your steps but of course in a bond that is halal. If there is someone to take care of you, Oma will definitely feel calm if whenever God will call Oma back to His lap ..," said Ms. Rahma again at length.

"Oma tell me what the hell Oma is, Ruby doesn't like it!" ketus Ruby even shuddered to hear everything said by the Omanya.

"Do you love Abian?" mama asked Rahma trying to guess the heart of her grandson.

"Akh kok Oma said that. Ruby and Bian are just legitimate, where maybe Ruby keeps the same feelings. We are like brothers!" ruby refused to admit her true feelings.

"Bian is also a good man, but somehow Oma feels that God is better suited to be your companion …."

"Akh already, Oma's speech increasingly digress. Ruby's going to sleep again. Oma also rested because it was still late at night!"

Ruby pretended to close her eyes so that Omanya stopped saying the no-no and immediately ended the discussion of the two of them who felt Ruby had gone too far. Although at this time Ruby pretended to be indifferent and did not want to respond but in the heart of Ruby who actually harbored a very extraordinary fear. The fear of being left behind by his beloved Oma like the Goddess who also left died suddenly after giving a final message and message to him.

*****

After four days in the Hospital, the doctor has not allowed Ruby to go home because of her unhealed health condition. His oma who always faithfully accompanied him, Romy only occasionally accompanied him because he happened to be doing a lot of work that he could not leave behind.

It had been three days that Ruby had not met Abian, of course the feeling was very torturing him. Not a day for him not to meet or exchange news with Abian, although the school holiday arrived that made the two of them unable to meet but they certainly made a video call as a relief miss.

This time Abian should not meet him, reply to messages or answer his calls never at all. Of course it makes Ruby so inflamed, if his legs do not hurt very much he wants to go to see Abian right now and release his longing that is very tight chest. Ruby is increasingly convinced, if she really has fallen in love with Abian, not just affection for a friend who she thought so far.

"Why don't you want to pick up the phone from me anyway Bian?! Why should you be afraid of Romy?! I hate your cowardice this time, I hate it! Don't know if I know you!" gerutu Ruby held back because Abian did not want to pick up the phone from him. Ruby switched to typing a message for Abian exactly what she was complaining about.

After Ruby finished sending the message, Ruby's gaze continued to focus on the screen of her phone, hoping that line two in her message immediately turned blue and reciprocated. But a few minutes waiting for the line two did not immediately change as well. Until finally Ruby could not hold her patience and throw her phone on her bed.

Ms. Rahma who pretended to sleep on the sofa was actually paying attention to the movements of her grandson, but Ms. Rahma did not want to disturb him. Ms. Rahma could judge if it seemed like her granddaughter did have feelings for her male friend. True as the saying goes, men and women who are close friends, lie if one of them will not save the taste.

When she heard the sobs of her grandson lying on his back, Rahma immediately got up and sat up while tidying up her slightly messy clothes and stood up and walked over to the grandson.

"Ruby ... Why, baby? How do you cry?" mom asked Rahma while rubbing her grandson's back. Ruby was seen wiping her tears and slowly turning her body to face her Oma.

"Ruby is just upset, why the hell should Abian be afraid of Romy?! Don't you want to look at Ruby here, raise a call from Ruby not?! You wimps!" ruby's grumbling was very upset.

"Maybe Abian is just busy, By .. think positive, don't think no-no!" reply Ms Rahma advised.

"Say you miss Abian?" asked Bu Rahma instead teasing, of course the question made Ruby's face immediately turned red blushing because her Oma was always good at guessing the contents of her heart.

"What the hell is Oma?! Ruby's just pissed off about Abian, Oma!" shangkal Ruby.

"Do you really love him?" ma'am Rahma suddenly looked at Ruby's face carefully.

"What the hell is Oma?"

"Make sure which man you really love and can make you feel calm and comfortable being around him. Can you be happy when she's in the shadow of your future?" 

"Oma talk what the hell, start ngaco again deh talk?!" ruby replied in surprise.

"Love does not have to have each other, love is indeed present without we can predict. But the person we love, not necessarily also be the person we can have and definitely make our lives happy … love can fade over time but not with a truly sincere feeling of affection from our hearts that will remain immortal no matter what …."

"If Oma asked you to get married soon, would you do it for Oma?" continued Bu Rahma while looking seriously at her granddaughter who looked back at her with a look of surprise at what was now said by her.

"Oma talk what the hell? Ruby is still an Oma school, when did Ruby have to marry? Oma also why suddenly said like that, Oma kambet what the hell?!" ruby replied with dislike staring in wonder at her Oma.

"If suddenly Oma is called the Almighty to face Him, and Oma's only hope is to see you marry so that Oma feels calm because there is someone to take care of you, do you want to do it for Oma?" mama Rahma asked once again with a hopeful look.

"Oma ... Ruby doesn't like Oma talking like that! Ruby—," said Ruby stopped because suddenly the door of her room was opened from the outside by someone. Ruby and Bu Rahma turned their heads and wanted to see who was coming. Appears the figure of a handsome man who is none other than God, his brother from the late Goddess friend Ruby. 

The god still wears his teacher's uniform, it looks like he just came home from teaching, in his right hand the God brought a fruit parcel as well as a plastic bag of food. The god smiled as he said his greetings respectfully as he walked closer to Ruby and also Bu Rahma.

"Assalamualaikum .. sorry I went straight in, I was able to knock on the door but there was no answer, sorry if I was not polite," said Dewa so polite and gentle.

"Marine …." Ruby and Bu Rahma also answered the greetings from the Gods simultaneously. God greeted Rahma by kissing the back of her hand after giving her a parcel of fruit and food.

"How are you, Oma? Oma must be tired of keeping Ruby here? Here's a little fruit and food for you two,"

"Alhamdulilah Nak Dewa .. Oma is fine. Thank you for bothering to come here and bring us food," replied Ms. Rahma staring in admiration at the God who was right standing before her. Since the beginning of the first meeting with the Gods, Ms. Rahma was very fond of the attitude of the young man.

"How are you doing, Ruby? Sorry because Bang Dewa has just visited you here, some days many guests continue to arrive to defend the condolences for the departure of the Goddess," said Dewa turned to look at Ruby.

"Alhamdulilah Ruby is better Bang …."

"Thank God if your condition is better.  Brother also just had time to go to school again, Brother so remember if Brother has not had time to look at you. Sorry if you never contact you to ask your news, after all you remind Brother to Dewi and it honestly makes you feel more sad and devastated about the departure of the Goddess for good," god sounds sad.

"Patience to God .. Oma understands your feelings. Moreover, you must be sad after the death of the Goddess, you so alone stay at home must be very sad for you," replied Bu Rahma while Ruby was silent.

"Yes Oma .. two days yesterday still had time to be accompanied by some brothers far away, but now they have returned home to their respective regions, respectively, God became alone again and only once felt how painful it was to be left behind by our loved ones like this," replied the Deity looking down miserably.

"Why don't you just marry Dewa .. so that someone will accompany you for the future," said Bu Rahma who made Dewa and Ruby immediately looked at Bu Rahma.
