Melt [NOT REVISED YET]
One-bench friend and first letter



The first day of entering school in the second semester, Mr.Handoko has changed our seats by taking a lottery stored in a box stored on the teacher's desk.


“Ha ... how unlucky I am today.” My gertutuku while walking towards the backmost bench close to the window, “Hai Cika.” The greeting of a man sitting on the back bench next to my seat, made me reflexively stop my footsteps when I saw the smile on his face.


“All right let's start today's lesson ...” Said Mr.Handoko making me hurry to sit at my place.


“Please help him for this semester.” The whisper of the man beside me made me look at him, and he still smiled warmly at me.


“Release your package book, we will discuss page 23.” Said Mr.Handoko stole my attention from the man and immediately took out a note and package book in my school bag.


“Sial I forgot to bring it.” Her mouth rang into my ear, then while taking a deep breath I shared the package book with her and again she smiled at me.


“Thank you, I really helped.” He said he still put on his smile, “Hei hey Cika, I often think that you are quite quiet and ja–” Continue to start babbling and stop when I suddenly stand up and walk towards the blackboard.


I don't know what he's thinking, but just now Mr.Handoko asked me to solve a math problem on the writing board to help other students.


Honestly, I'm not very good at math, but since I became friends with Anya, I've been taught math by her a lot. And now I understand a little about what I'm dealing with right now.


“That's right, thank you Cika. Please return to your seat.” Mr.Handoko made me walk up to my bench and I saw that man already smiling at me, making me wonder why he kept acting so sweetly as he kept smiling.


“You can use the way that Cika mastered, or you can use this way ...” Furthermore, sir.Handoko provides another solution while writing the formula on the board.


“Welcome back.” He said as I sat back in my chair and began to record material on the board that was not in the package book.


“Hei Cika..” His whisper made my concentration slightly disturbed.


'What's with him why does he keep talking to me ? can't he focus on his lessons?’ My grunts in my heart while keeping a record.


“Cika ..” Whisper again while keeping a small folded paper beside my busy right hand noting, “Read.” Keep his hands off my desk.


I turned my attention away from my note and grabbed the paper then looked towards it which turned out to still be watching me with a smile and held its chin with its right palm.


“What did he do? mail?” I muttered as I flipped through the small paper in my hand, and as I was about to open it, the change of lesson bell rang quickly I tidied up my notebook and put it in my desk locker. And I didn't get to open that letter because the next lesson was in the art room. So we had to go there for the lesson, I quickly walked to the door and heard the man shouting my name.


But I don't care, what I thought at the time was just getting the front seat, but the result was that I got the last seat again. I lost quickly to the other students.


“You were mean to leave me in class.” Said someone sitting next to me making me a little surprised by his presence.


“Si–who?” I asked her, “Ja–happily, we just moved out of class and you've forgotten me?” He said with his disappointed face.


‘Who the hell? from then on continue to invite me to talk, very familiar snobs ... what because I cuekin? so he keeps babbling at me huh ? alright then ...’ My mind decided to respond so that he would stop talking to me.


“Alright we can start the next lesson, today we learn to paint a human face.you can find a partner to paint his face on the canvas. Your time until the break, please take the canvas and paint it in.” Mom said, making us hurry to take the canvas and watercolor.


And when I turned my body around, I had already seen the man being mobbed by the girls in my class, it seemed like he was being fought over by them. Then I walked to the window and put my canvas on the easel that had been provided there, I also immediately sat down after wearing a light blue aprons that were dirty with various colors of paint on it.


“Ci–” Shouts someone I didn't listen to when a girl stands in front of me and asks me to be her partner. I gladly accepted it, besides being friendly and sweet, her face also made my hand want to paint her.


Time passed quickly and I finished half my painting, “Huft ...” I murmured while wasting tired breath and shrinking the sweat that almost dripped past my eyebrows.


“Waw details once.” The words of someone behind me made me feel surprised and reflexes looked at him, now our eyes looked at each other and our faces were so close. Then that smile kept me glued for a while. Again he smiled at me even though I didn't respond to all his chatter in the classroom and left him, and again I don't know his name.


“All right, today is enough to be here only we can continue next week. You can start cleaning it and save your paintings in a safe place, do not get mixed with paintings from other classes ya.” Mom said, making us immediately end our painting activities and start cleaning it up.


“I just remember, today in class Anya also have art lessons, About her painting whose face huh?” I muttered while removing the apron I was wearing and folding it and then putting it in the apron locker.

“Hai Cika,” greet a girl I just painted her face in the art room a few minutes ago, “your painting is really good, lucky I can be painted by you.” Then smile and walk beside me.


“But it was really good.” He still smiles.


‘If I remember again he wrote his name on the canvas it would be ...’ My inner self while remembering her name, ‘Who is it?’ I continue in my heart.


“Hai Nanami, want kantin ?” Greet a student from another class on the girl beside me, “Bby, but I have to go to class first.” Answer with a smile.


“Ah her name is Nanami.” Mumbles.


“You want to join Cika ?” Take Nanami with a smile.


“No thanks, I brought stock from home.” My answer.


“Great. Then I go first ya.” He said with a smile and walked with his friend leaving me.


Then I walked up to Anya's class, hoping she'd be there. But I can't find him anywhere, ‘Maybe he's wandering around the library, or being with his classmate somewhere.’ That's how I thought while walking towards my class.


When I put my feet in the classroom, I didn't find any boys in the classroom, maybe they were wandering around outside the classroom with their friends from other classes. Or busy dealing with osis. Coincidentally in my class there were some children who joined the management of the osis.


“Cika, today we picket on the school roof. Sorry, I took the wrong draw. The weather is not good ..” Said a girl approaching my stool and let out a lethargic breath after babbling at me.


“No problem.” My words immediately got a hug from him that made me an equal.

“You are the best ... huhu ..” Said a black-haired girl shoulder to shoulder Cika's body tightly while whining, “Only you are being nice to me, others blame my stupidity.” The next is still whining.


“I–it... can you step aside? I can't eat my provisions.” Said Cika instantly got a quick response from the girl, “Ma–forgive me ...” Said the girl while chuckling and scratching her non-itchy head.


“He... Your provisions look good. Can I try it?” Further the girl immediately got a nod from Cika, “asik!” He said while holding Cika's hand which was holding a fork containing octopus-shaped sausage.


Cika could not hide her embarrassment when her hand was held by the black-haired girl, and the girl put the sausage in her mouth, along with Yuda who entered the classroom with her close friends.


The man continued to watch Cika with the shoulder-haired girl while walking towards the table of Adam and Raka his best friend.


“Haha... You're so funny, it's been half a year but don't remember the names of your first-class friends.” Said the girl was uproarious to make the red hue on Cika's face more sticking out.


“Hana The girl continued after being satisfied to laugh at Cika.


“What what ? what's up Hana ?” Nanami asked approaching the two of them. And Hanapun told Nanami everything to make the brown-haired girl laugh, before long Cika also smiled and laughed with them.


Yuda who continued to watch Cika from a distance smiled and covered her lips with the back of her right hand to hide her expression from her friends.


“It turns out he can smile like that too ..” Inner Judah, then Hana and Nanami were no longer with Cika, the girl alone was arrested and continued her lunch. Then stopped at the second feed, and then stopped, and his hand grabbed a small piece of paper in his desk drawer, and then opened the letter.


Shortly after, Cika smiled to see something in the paper, and Yuda who had smiled when he saw him laughing with Hana and Nanami now the man could not wiggle and just looked at the girl with a surprised look without a smile on his face, his eyes widened and sparkled.


“Yud? loe denger gak?” Ask Adam who did not get a response from his friend.


“Loe see what the hell?” Tanya Raka noticed Yuda's gaze direction, “Cika?” The next one who saw the girl eating her provisions with her calm face, then again noticed the smiling Yuda looking back at the girl, and did not realize that Raka was watching her.
