Melodia Rain

13. GEBYAR EKKUL

“Ngets the difference between open sentences and closed sentences?” arief asked Leah who was busy writing in her notebook. Lea raised her head.

“Hmm, bit.” said Lea blushed. Arief sighed, but he explained it twice. But Lea still seemed to have not understood,

“OK. I explained it another way. Gini..”

Arief again explained the material to Lea patiently. It took extra patience to make Lea understand something.

The girl was a little sluggish, yet there was at least one positive thing Arief could take. A year more friends with Lea, he trained to be a patient man.

Secretly Lea's father and mother noticed them from the Shop. It seems that the two people who were in the middle of the terrace were very familiar. Do not forget Dad reminded that it was Arief who had been relying on Lea so that he did not mistake the Eagle again as Arief.

“Lea, what do you think Eagle is?” ask Arief in the middle of their discussion. Lea stops the activity with a frown.

“Lho? How come suddenly nanyain Eagle?” Lea put a pencil on the table, closed the notebook and looked at Arief who was waiting for the answer.

“He is rude, haughty, and selfish. Yes, even though he helped me but still I don't like him.

Did I tell you, Nandar, Willa and Sarah about him bringing me home? I didn't think it was, but he did come. I thought he was going to be my friend, but he wasn't. He remains haughty and I still don't like him.” explains Lea at length.

Very smooth when telling bad people, “He is not like you, Rief.”

“Clearly. I am sure that I am the best for you.” exclaimed Arief patted the chest.

“Huu pede!” Leah threw the eraser at Arief's head, but a moment later she cleared her throat and looked Arief straight,

“But seriously, the only guy I care about besides Papa is just you Rief. I really love you.”

As soon as Arief was silent, something was struggling in his heart. Though he himself knows for sure if the affection according to Lea is like what, Lea means is affection as a friend or brother. But still Arief was made to blush because of it.

The busy days are over as well, now comes the moment where the whole Extra Curricular displays the ability to attract members from new students. Every year this is the most anticipated event.

Because they can see all the abilities of the students in one day at a time, and more fun even though wearing uniforms but there is no study schedule throughout the day. Students who often skip on ordinary days, certainly do not want to miss to attend today.

Lea had just recovered from her illness, but she was immediately faced with the busyness of the two Excules that had to be taken care of. At Ekskul Dance he was among the most reliable people, at Ekskul Seni Musik even Eagle with his cold attitude continued to drag Lea to and fro to help the preparation of the music team in the opening of Gebyar.

Though taking care of the Music Exkul is not the responsibility of Lea, but somehow he even got dragged into their activities just because he became a substitute vocalist in Band Inti.

Coinciding with the Music Exchul that was performing traditional music, the Core Band was busy putting on makeup. Wearing an all-black costume, the outfit according to Lea perfectly matched the character of the Eagle demon.

Lea wore a short shirt and skirt with a cloak dangling down to her ankles, the costume was usually worn by Desi.

Lea elevates hair ties, planning to spray hairspray to keep hair tidy. Unexpectedly the Eagle who happened to pass behind him even pulled Lea's hair ties and made the back hair loose, he thrust a small bando into Lea's hands.

“Pake this.” he said without expression. Lea said without rebutting, nothing was felt but overwhelming nervousness. This was the first time she would sing in public.

“So, this little girl changed me?” snapped Desi the vocalist with a hoarse voice approached Lea who was busy polishing her face with simple makeup.

Everyone in the Music Room immediately stopped the activity as the girl barged into the Band Room. Lea glanced at Desi for a moment then resumed her preening event.

“Cih! Little girl prettier.”

“We're the age yes, so don't call little girls all.” Lea half slammed the make up tool onto the table. Clearly he was bothered by Desi's absence.

The short-haired girl with a body as beautiful as the goddess approached the Eagle with the exact steps of a prima donna. Seeing at a glance he is indeed very beautiful, especially with a haughty face and sharp eyes. What a female version of Eagle.

“I told you, I'll do it.”

“You have not healed, if forced inflammation you can get worse.” The eagle attentively held onto both shoulders of Desi, Lea was surprised by the treatment.

The eagle is so gentle that it refers to the white tiger as ‘kamu’ instead of ‘lo’. Lea then saw other members, they seemed ordinary to see this.

Desi charisma is indeed extraordinary, natural if the Eagle to the knees.

“That's the reason you did it, right? I feel like you've changed lately, definitely because of her, right? Do you have the same taste? Huh?” accused Desi looked at the fierce Eagle, but her hand pointed steadily to the right, where Lea sat back and was busy putting on makeup. Lea indifferently looked at the interaction between Desi and the Eagle through the mirror.

“This is not a personal matter, I just want our band to perform.” again the sound of the Eagle lows.

Lea guessed the extent of the relationship. He had heard from Winda that the Eagle was only suitable for Desi, as if only the girl was destined to have the Eagle. But never spread the news they are indeed made, let alone echo from the lambe turah if the Eagle has sexual irregularities.

“Des, just this time. No one wants to take you from here.” Tri finally spoke up.

Along with that, traditional music players came to the Music Room. Irwan who came with them immediately approached Desi and explained all about Lea, he understood that Desi would definitely not be able to accept the presence of Lea that easily. The design also convinces Desi that Lea is only temporary.

“Our turn.” Gentra patted Lea on the shoulder. The girl got up, looked at Desi for a moment and then followed all the members who started to move towards the field where the stage was. He was a little annoyed by all Desi's remarks, but also felt guilty for taking the girl's position even once.

“Aduh!” lea screamed softly as she hit the back of the Eagle which suddenly stopped.

“You messed up everything?” The eagle looked at him with a cold and sharp look. It made Lea more nervous and frightened.

Like a toddler who was being scolded, the girl lowered her head while shaking her head violently. He remembered during the last two days of training that the Eagle had been very rude and frightening. They never speak casually because the Eagle always launches a commanding or angry tone.

“Focus so.” Eagle's voice tone is still not friendly. Lea just bit her lips and nodded.

The cheers of the audience accompanied the footsteps of Band Inti personnel in passing the stairs to the stage. Some spectators appear to mention one by one personnel. But they were a little confused because the local band of High School boys changed vocalists. So Tri who is now the leader explains the matter of Lea and Desi.

After all taking the position of Gentra drum, Eagle bass, Adi melody, and Tri holding the keyboard, while Lea was in the middle of them. So with the words Eagle music was played.

Three songs created by Tri that have long been their mainstay. Thanks to the short and hard exercises she went through, Lea was finally able to sing all the songs well. Their performance could be said to be successful after hearing the Eagle with a bright face say a sincere thanks to all the personnel as they went off stage with cheers still boisterous.

“Lea out this we kum..”

“Tri my time is narrow.” Lea with a parched face cut off Tri's speech. The man just remembered that after this Ekskul Dance will perform.

“Hm, okay. Spirit!” tri's greeting leads Lea to the locker room at the end of the Band Room.

The girl changed clothes with a Tanggo dancer dress with a predominance of bright red. A little leaked to the members of the Music Exkul that Lea will dance classical dance this time, which is very rarely shown by Ekskul Dance because they will usually display modern dance.

“My task is done here.” Lea approached Irwan and Reka.

“Thank you for the cooperation.” The design greeted Lea full of hospitality.

Irwan then held onto both of Lea's shoulders, “I hope you will move to the Music Exchul. Yesterday I saw you helping the Eagle, it feels like the combination of Lea Eagle is very fitting to strengthen this Ekskul.”

Lea smiled broadly at Irwan's words, but a second later he put on a fierce face, “I was forced, you also know it.”

Irwan let go of both Lea's shoulders with disdain, it seemed like Lea was offended by her words just now, “You're so a little bit like Eagle.”

“Everything, I say goodbye first. Thanks for the cooperation.” Leah rushed to the door, but before she left the room Desi first held the elbow.

“Do not appear again in front of me, do I hope to replace me. Huh good.” Desi violently pushed Lea onto the dresser until some make-up fell to the floor.

The suddenly silent atmosphere saw Desi being rude. Lea got up and looked at Desi with a hue full of anger, but a moment later she smiled obliquely.

“I consider this your thanks.” Lea pushed Desi's shoulder and then pushed out toward her fellow dancers.

After Lea's death, Irwan immediately reprimanded the actions of Desi that he did not think he should show. While the Eagle actually ran out of the room, the waves trying to find the figure of Lea.

***

Upon arrival at the dance hall, Lea immediately complained all the actions of Desi to Ririn. Like a chick complaining to its mother, he chattered constantly about Desi. Not defending, Ririn even laughed then grateful.

“Sudder is grateful because you only deal with Desi, not a problem with Eagle.” Erratanya see Lea pout. The giggling made Lea upset, though,

“At least the roughness of Desi is still far below the Eagle right?”

“How do I know.” Lea swigged.

“I've seen an Eagle beat someone up from the start until that person enters the ER. The man was older than her by several years.” Ririn's story made Lea shut her mouth with her hands, and,

“You would not have guessed that the Eagle was not an ordinary High School boy. Guts and tantrums know absolutely no bounds.”

Lea recalled the time when she and the Eagle were training together, she said amazingly. Even when he was upset, he did not seem to be angry at humans. Eagles are very quiet.

But it is not imagined that it turns out that the bad nature of the Eagle exceeds what is seen. Besides not liking it, Lea now becomes more afraid of the Eagle. The horror of the cold eyes of the Eagle was again felt all over Leah's body.

“He is really a devil.”
