Marriage of 365 Days

Aksena and Axton

The school atmosphere was so crowded this morning. Many schoolgirls joked and shouted in the schoolyard, as if their laughter could release a momentary fatigue from the task piling up.

Sena watched the trees in the school yard, her hair falling caffra flowers that flew in the wind. Many caffra flowers are blooming.

This type of red Erythrina caffra plant is often grown on the coast of Southeast Africa, and cultivated in various regions. Sena is fascinated by the blooming flowers and gives the caffra its fragrance when carried by the wind.

His mind was asking the question, isn't it autumn, but why are Caffra flowers blooming this season?

While the wind was hitting her hair, cold and dry air pierced her skin. Sena's lips were dry. His neck was wrapped in a scarf and his hands were clenched. It was cold this morning.

His heart must be ready for what will happen today. Ready to face the skewed gossip about him and Axton. Usually Aksena always goes with Sellyna to school. But this time Sellyna permission to leave early because he had to prepare his presentation with his other group.

He entered the school lobby. Sena was still comfortable walking up the stairs one by one and towards the school hallway on the 2nd floor.

Until his steps began to climb the stairs, to the 3rd floor of Science-9 class. One by one the class he passed.All eyes looked at Sena. Their mouths whispered to each other. Whispering while watching Sena walk. It was as if Sena had made an unforgivable mistake.

Why are their eyes like that?? It's like seeing an alien.

Sena arrives in front of Axton Science-5. The girls' students stared at Sena getting more and more. Their eyeballs turned and looked cynical, showing their dislike of Sena, even pointing their fingers at Sena while whispering whispers.

Even the innuendo of subtle innuendo came out of their mouths. God, what am I wrong???

Sena took her eyes off their unpleasant gazes in the classroom hallway. His steps accelerated until he reached the front of the Science-9 class.

Not until Sena stepped foot into her classroom, suddenly the door of her class opened and someone pulled her hand inside. Suddenly Denise appeared in front of him.

"OK! Now quickly tell me what happened yesterday afternoon Sena?! Why are all the final students gossiping about you and Axton?? You're such a bitch, Sena, why didn't you tell me about yesterday?? I'll call you last night."

Denise scrunched her forehead, her eyes twinkling, and her hands folded in front of her chest waiting for Sena's explanation.

"I-I also don't know Denise, I'm confused where to start.it's not like the rumors circulating" Sena replied as she raised her hands up. Sena began to tell all the events from the beginning to the end to Denise.

Not waiting long, Sena was surrounded by classmates who were curious to listen to his explanation. Some are pitying, some do not believe the rumors circulating, and some are kepo.

"So the initials A in the school news are you and Axton right?" ask Agnes.

"It is outrageous that the spreader of gossip. You know, Axton is famous in this school. He's a favorite of girls. I think their cynical stares, not liking seeing you approached by Axton. Some even believe you're dating Axton" Windy said.

"I'm clarifying yes, I'm not close to Axton! She's not my boyfriend! Me and Axton didn't do anything as pervert as they were told. If you don't believe, just ask Lois, because she's there too. Isn't that Lois?"

Sena looked at Lois. Lois also confirmed Sena's words. Lois is a good friend.

"Yes friend. Carla and I were eyewitnesses there. I don't see them doing bawdy. The news is not true" Lois said.

The lesson begins. Sena's mind wasn't focused on teaching and learning that morning. Until the afternoon break, Sena's name was called to face the Counselor team who handled the delinquency of students at school. What else is this??

Sena left her classroom. Denise saw Sena walking down her head with her gloomy face. If only I could help you Sen.

In the counsellor room, Axton was seen with a team of 2 counsellors. Sena walked in and was welcome to sit in the chair next to Axton. Sena glanced at the man.

Axton looks ordinary without worries etched into his face. One by one, questions arise from the counselor. And Axton answered with ease.

Axton was able to explain the chronology of events in the women's dressing room yesterday. Every time Sena answered with a stammer, Axton could always add to Sena's explanation well.

"So the commotion among the students because there is a hoax news spread?"

counselor said.

"True sir, we don't know how the news in the student group can happen nor do we know who spread the slanderous news" Axton said.

"Before we apologize counselor, because it has made a scene in this school" explained Sena while turning to Axton.

"Alright, because the evidence of the evidence happening in the field is unclear and it is not known who spread the news in the school group, he said, and as a result of your actions that have provoked a commotion among students as a violation of the level 1 mild category, then you must complete the sanctions from the counselor." explained the counselor team.

"Sanction in the form of making a statement that must be known to the homeroom teacher that will not make a fuss among students again, and the second sanction is that you must participate in improving facilities at this school. During these 2 weeks you are both placed in the library room to help librarians in compiling book labels, and organize new books on the library shelf. You can still undergo teaching and learning activities, only this sanction you live after the teaching and learning activities are completed in the afternoon. Hows it? Are you ready to run it?" obviously counselor.

In the end Sena and Axton were able to breathe a sigh of relief. They were not suspended from school, and their parents were not called to the headmaster.

In addition, Sena also thanked the existence of axton in the room, she had helped reduce Sena's worries with a more relaxed explanation. Axton knew that Sena was very nervous.

*******

It's been one week that Sena and Axton have been running their sanctions on the library. Sena is sticking to the book name label based on the number listed in the archive. This is the thousandth book they have worked on. There are still 700 books left unworked.

Sena raised her hand above her head. He stretched the joints and muscles of his hand and straightened his backrest. His head was moved to the right and to the left. His neck feels stiff. The look on his face showed extreme boredom.

"Aww.. achy and hungry" he murmured while massaging his fingers.

While Axton who was sitting in front of him still stuck to the book label based on the alphabet and book number. Now is the time to organize some books that have been labeled on the shelf.

Axton glanced at the girl across from his desk. "The sooner we get this done, the sooner we get home" Axton said.

"Alright" said Sena.

Now there are only two of them in the library room of this school. After the librarians get permission to go home because it's time. It is now showing at 6pm. It was getting dark too.

Axton picked up and brought some books to the no IX library shelf. He began compiling books from the smallest sequence number to the largest sequence number.

Meanwhile, Sena, had just started bringing some books onto her shelf. Sena arrives at the XII bookcase and climbs the shelf ladder. The book should be placed on the top shelf with a height of 3-4 meters. Why if you want to organize books alone, have to climb stairs this high anyway??

Sena also convinced herself to climb the shelf stairs, carefully she stepped one by one on the support and footing of the stairs, while both her hands held books that she would stack on the shelf.

Sena began to enter the books one by one neatly and in accordance with the sequence number and alphabet. He repeated it a third time, this time lifting more books than before until his eyes were covered with books. Slowly he began to climb the stairs. Without realizing it, his shoelace left regardless of the bond.

 

Sena has reached the top step. His hands began to compile one by one the books into his lines. This time his hands began to feel sore and trembling. The mistake was that he was very confident he could lift the book in large numbers.

His feet began to roll. Sena tried to get down the stairs for a moment because her hands were getting tired of propping up so many books. As he was about to step down, his footsteps caught up with his own shoelaces.

"Aahs... Axton tolooong me, I want to go down but can't" cried Sena.

Axton also walked closer to the XII bookshelf aisle. "You brought so many books" Axton said.

"I-I can't see down, my hands are sore" Sena said. His feet began to look for a foothold but nil. He slipped because of his own shoelaces. "Aaahhkk.." cried Sena again. "Aawwx"

BRAAAKK

The book he was holding was scattered below. Sena fell but did not feel the pain. It's just that his legs are painful. Sena opened her closed eyes. How shocked Sena was, when she opened her eyes she had fallen and was already in a position above Axton. Axton's perfume was mixed around Sena.

Yes, Axton who has grabbed his body and has supported Sena's body when he fell earlier.

Both their eyes stared. Duh Once Shame. Their faces are very close.

Sena started trying to stand up. But Axton's burly, muscular hand held onto her tiny waist, and hugged her. Uh. Sena's shocked. Both of Sena's hands were on Axton's chest. Sena can feel the heartbeat of the man who is currently embracing her. The sound of his heartbeat was so loud.

Axton's face approached Sena. Like I already know where Sena's lips are. Axton starts kissing Sena. What the fuck???? What is on this guy's mind??? Why did she kiss me????

First kiss. Please, this is my first kiss. Axton fused his lips to Sena's. Feels soft. Getting tighter. Sena closed her eyes. I don't know how to kiss. I wanted to escape this man's kiss, but I couldn't. What am I supposed to do??

It feels like fainting. Sena's body felt limp, her hands shaking. It was like this was a kiss. But I don't like it. Very bad smell of saliva.

Sena tried to pull his head. But both of Axton's hands grabbed Sena's waist and hugged her tightly. Seize him. His head was close to Sena's head. His tongue began to open Sena's lips. Looking for what he should be looking for. Axton plays his tongue inside Sena's mouth. "Hmmmpppppf"I can't breathe.

Sena also pushed Axton's body strongly. He took off Axton's arms and stood up. Sena's breathing goes up and down. Watering eyes. "I didn't expect what you did to me Axton!!I HATE YOU!!"

Sena just left, without realizing the man's face turned red and muttered.

"Geez, what have you done Axton" said Axton. "this is his first kiss" He rubbed his face with his hands.
