Two days of rest at home, my body has improved a lot. This morning I rushed off to school without getting picked up by Earth. I deliberately did not warn him because it was reasonable not to walk together first, seeing the school situation where I would definitely get more pressure and ridicule if I was still seen together with Earth. I also did not know how the condition of the Earth in school after I told the story of the incident that day. Whether he avoids it or faces it. Because if you let it be long, this problem will be big and involve the school. May that not happen, my mind prays along the way to school.
From the start I entered the gate, some of the disciples who began to recognize my face, they immediately avoided not going hand in hand with me. I kept getting ready to go to class. My friends look pretty scary. The whispers happened even as if they wanted to be heard by me, they wanted me not to be in that class. But my heart strengthened to keep me in class even if I was alienated by them.
" It turns out there's still a ya who's got this shameless face." Said one of my friends in a slightly loud tone, Reina her name, The pretty student in my class is approaching sitting at the table opposite my chair. Some of my other friends came closer to Reina. They look like they're made to want to chop me up.
I just looked down at my fingernails, trying to relax even though my heart was actually in a marathon.
" Do we need to teach him a Rein lesson? Warning is not effective. Today he still dared to enter." The friend behind him chimed in.
" No need. We better complain to the homeroom teacher. Let the face of the udiknya directly plastered in the toilet man." Reina cuts.
" We'll have to be the same class president if we go to the homeroom." The other timpal.
" Not be noisy. Si Randi, the head of the class really does not need to care. The hick is of no use to this class. Just a good name for class X IPA." Exclaimed fiery Reina.
I realized in this class is not an active, smart and popular class star in school. My existence is just like a complement in this class. I also have no influence in class or in school any activity whatsoever. My intention was to study, finish High School, then after that I will work to become the backbone of my family who are alone with Mamak.
Suddenly my tears just flowed, I couldn't help it anymore. Actually not sad and afraid because of their sarcasm, no. But it's more about keeping this to yourself to not add to the problems at school, and not involve this getting to Mamak.
Because the state of the class that began to be crowded vented their emotions with blasphemy obscenities on me. I can't stand being there anymore. Finally I left the class carrying a bag running towards toliet, some other class students who accidentally knocked their shoulders when they passed me, they like wagging the former touched by me.
Then I vented my emotions sobbing in a girls' toilet. My heart hurts so much. So hurt. It feels more and more hit by a lot of feelings of self-harm that is not able to fight them. Explain to them that I never did that. It's a people trap ! But I don't know who he is.
Huu... Hicks !
My crying is getting hard. I hope there's no one else in the toilet but me. Until I finally felt tired of crying myself, I took my phone out of my bag and called Earth. Soon the call was connected as well.
" Hello Bu-Earth.." My hoarse voice greeted him.
" Hello... The dance. You why?"
" I-I'm okay. I ha-just feel ha-rus pu-home." Reply asenggut.
" Where are you now?" Ask Earth worried.
" I'm in the toilet."
" I'm there now. Wait outside." Excitement terminates.
I immediately went out of the toilet. The interval was not how long the figure of the Earth appeared. He pulled my hand away from school. When in intercepted Pak Satpam motor Earth immediately escape. The clock is coming in soon. I covered half my face with my hijab.
" You want to go home?" Ask the Earth on the way. But I didn't answer. I rethink if I come home so early Mamak could be suspicious. Especially in my swollen face and puffy eyes. I must be at the helm of all sorts of questions.
" Str...!" The cry of the Earth suddenly awakened my daydream.
I'm flabbergasted.
" Eh, yes. Um I mean we don't have to go home. I'm afraid Mamak is suspicious..."
O Allah Sorry I have dared to cover this from Mamak, have dared to skip school as well. Inner praying.
" Where ?" My toot.
" Any place you like." Focus on driving a motorcycle.
I just sighed with my curiosity, where the Earth would take me.
^
Set us in the place where the Earth is meant. We got off the bike, he took off his bike seat, he took out a black sweater and handed it to my hand.
" Wear it." His order.
" What for ?" My toot.
" Look at you, put on your school uniform. You think people are not like his mind. It's still morning." Further. While he was already wearing a jeans jacket when in the school parking lot earlier.
Oh, I'm nodding understand. I obey too. Then I spread my eyes. The earth always keeps. He took me to this lake of many geese. A smile etched on my lips, my gloomy face like being pulled upwards gave a more serene change of atmosphere.
This lake makes me calmer. This morning there were no visitors, there were only a few janitors at work. I took a deep breath and then slowly I exhaled it, for several times until my heart began to feel relieved.
" Thank you Bumi, you brought me here." I looked at her smiling face. I don't understand why Earth can still be relaxed while trouble hits her as well.
" Earth... Can I ask you?" I ventured to ask her this kind of attitude.
" Yes, I can."
" Why when there's another problem like this, you're still relaxed? are you not thinking. Because it affects our parents if we're not comfortable."
He only raises one eyebrow like thinking but not seriously.
" I just want to make myself more comfortable. So I don't think it's so weird that I have to be moody, depressed, sad." He answered while looking at the vast lake.
"Every problem has a way out. Every exam has an answer. It's just one thing we have to get through, enjoy whatever it is. Finding a big rock we just avoid it. Yes, you can jump, shift or lift it if you can. Found water in yes we are quite a great swimmer so as not to drown. in make it easy. I'm relaxed this is not mindless, not lazy to think too, but because I don't want to be burdened. Which makes us stumble there."
For a moment he breathed. I heard and looked at him, he was really the adult of his thinking. Our age is actually a labyrinth. Where we want to show each other who we are, have tastes that can sometimes change. When you talk like exploding. But there is something different about the nature of the Earth that can be said far from the word 'childish'. Even though he is one of the children who likes to hang out, smoke, rarely enter class. I think Bumi chose to be that kind of student because of this 'childish' mind, that wants to always have fun.
" It used to be that I was like you, every time there was a small or big problem, I felt like people didn't care about me. I often curse myself who is stupid and weak. But it turns out I was wrong, because actually there are still many people who care and love us."
" Anyways, don't worry... I will always be there for you." Smiling sternly looking at my swollen eyes. I was embarrassed to look at it that way.
" Thank you for the Earth. You made me feel calm and think straight again. Don't ever regret being my best friend." I touched his hand.
He nodded back at my hand by patting my hand. Our hands touch each other. Our eyes are full of smiles.
" Earth will never regret when the Mentari shines for him. Because the Earth always longs for the morning to quickly meet him, and will be sad when He sinks. But Mentari never disappoints Earth because he still gives her beautiful colors in the evening. And always greet the Earth in the morning with its beautiful colors as well. So the Earth should thank Mentari." The earth described his words so beautifully. I heard him amazed. He knows how to cheer up a woman's heart.
I am truly grateful to have met Earth, and she wants to be my best friend to this day. Many times I say in my heart my gratitude to the Earth. May we be like this forever. My heart added.
