ME, YOU, And The Light Novel Book

Episode 28: The Grip of Your Hand

Deg, have your smile that Man made my heart suddenly claustrophobic, I said in my heart.

Once again Manda managed to make me wrong and mastered by maximum nervousness, I then tried to escape from this situation by saying :

"Oh so you're grateful for that, yeah, I'll see you in class again."I said in a nervous tone as I walked towards Manda's back so that I came into contact with her who was still standing in front of me.

Surprised by my reaction to leave, Manda stopped me by holding one hand.

Realizing this made me momentarily surprised while looking at Manda's hand holding mine.

In my heart I said :

"You're trying to get me a heart attack, man. "

I immediately returned to face him and then looked shyly at Manda's sweet face, she also returned my gaze with a reddened face because she had just realized the actions she was doing to me at this time. Mandapun immediately released his hand from my hand and said :

"Anuu, so this Ray doesn't mean I can't let you go huh, but for the correction of the text I how did it go? "said Manda in a pleading tone to me, still showing her timid face.

"Oh about it yes, actually I want to discuss it with you anyway but now it seems like there is no time to do that huh."my words explained in a relaxed tone even though my heart was actually very nervous at the moment.

"Well, how is dong Ray? "asked Manda in a warm tone to me.

"Let's just be calm, man, I've made a note of the things that are still wrong in your text." I said in a friendly tone while giving a note paper that I made last night.

"Geez you bothered to make a note of it yes, if that's very thanks Ray." said Manda with a happy tone while receiving the note from me.

"But this is only pages one through six, so please be understood if only a little" I said casually explaining to Manda.

"With papa kok Ray, this is enough for me to revise the prefix." said Manda with a happy tone while reading a glimpse of the note from me.

"Ok deh if so for the explanation later I explained in WA yes, see you in the class Man. "talk me in a relaxed tone while turning over because I want to go back to class.

Manda who seems not to want to finish talking to me then calls me back :

I turned my body back to him and said:

"Well, what else is Man?"I said in a friendly tone to hide the nervousness in my heart.

"Anuu like this Ray, about you have time to fit the second break later so that we can talk about this. "said Manda timidly while showing the paper towards me.

"Hmm, yes maybe ten minutes before the entrance bell I can chat with you, but we want to chat where?, the library is not open again after Friday prayers."I said in a calm tone while looking at Manda's sweet face.

"Yes, yes, how if we chat in class because it must be other friends still on rest." said Manda casually gave advice to me.

"Hmm in class yes, ok I will try." I said in a hesitant tone but finally agreed with the advice of Manda.

"Good deh if that is Ray, I will also soon pray the same dhuhur meal so that the time is enough for us to discuss this. "said Manda with a relaxed tone to hide his joy.

"Ok, if you see you in class, "say me in a relaxed tone while walking back to class.

"Yes Ray, see you in class." said Manda in a friendly tone while giving a sweet smile to me.

After saying goodbye, I then walked to class with a happy heart because I knew that Manda still wanted to discuss with me later.

Manda then caught up with me a while later after putting the paper I gave her in her pocket.

The class sign bell rang shortly after our conversation was over. I was already in class when I heard the bell, shortly after, Ms. Ami entered our class to give her Japanese Literature lessons.

This is one of the lessons I like most in school, why can I say that?, it's because I can learn a language that I think is very foreign and strange. Oh yeah, I happen to love some Japanese novelists and hope to follow in their footsteps.

The second break bell rang at exactly 11:15 p.m., it was time for the men at my school to go to the nearest Jami'i mosque to perform Friday prayers, while the women as usual sholar dhuhur in the school mushallah.

The Friday sermon that was so sad touched my subconscious that it made me feel so deeply when I heard it. Fortunately I did not fall asleep in the mosque like most of my school friends who were already on the island of Kapok.
