Melt [NOT REVISED YET]

Discomfort Anya

In the room...

‘What joke did he make? it's just one word and I can't help myself laughing like that, Lemon?’ My mind kept remembering the contents of the letter that my bench friend gave me.

 

I closed my textbook and immediately grabbed the letter from my bag, the letter I had passed over in the math book, it said "Lemon" there. And I'm back laughing, “What the fuck is he ? A lemon? Hhaha.” I said I couldn't help but laugh.

I don't know what's funny about Lemon's writing, but I can't stop laughing right now. Maybe because at that time we were studying mathematics, and Mr.Handoko was a strong and authoritative teacher, besides that he also rarely spoke things outside the lesson. he is also a teacher who rarely smiles even though other students/i give greetings and smile at him.

And when I read that word Lemon in the letter, somehow the shadow of Pak.Handoko's face entered my head.

“Lemon is acid, right? from where sir.Handoko asam?” I tried to stop my laughter by trying to catch my breath as best I could.

“Cika! your meal is ready, come down and finish your dinner!” Mom's screams made me rush out of my room and keep the letter on my desk.

After arriving at the dining room...

“Dad hasn't come home yet?” I asked my mother.

“Say next month, the work is still much.” My mother replied that she ate her food and I ate my food.

“Hem..” I muttered as I remembered my father who rarely came home because he was busy taking care of his work outside the city.

“Tomorrow mom has an appointment with a client, maybe mom will come home late. So can you stay home by yourself?” Mom said after drinking water beside her.

“Um.” Nod me as I finish my dinner, then leave from there after I finish washing my used dishes.

“Mother has prepared your snacks in the fridge for tomorrow.” Mom shouted as I left the dining room.

I opened the door to my room in a doldrums, Well lately I've been left alone, my mom works as a designer who owns a few boutiques outside the city and my dad's an architect besides, he is also active in business. Tonight I could only lie on my bed, and not study. For a long time my eyes felt heavy and could not resist sleepiness.

I walked out of the house and locked my door, like my mom went to work early in the morning.

 

“For Cika,” greet Nanami in front of my house, “He.., I just know your house around here. My house is at the end of this complex.” Continue with a smile.

“You leave with ?” He asked as I walked out the gate, and we set off together for school.

“Today there are sports lessons yes ... the malls ...” Oceh Nanami all the way to school.

And I also knew the name of the man sitting beside me, Judah. He was still the same, still being friendly and smiling. Lately I have gotten a lot of letters from him and a few times I have laughed while reading and looking at the contents of his letters.

From the pity of him who gave me letters in the middle of class hours, it is now his habit and I also began to collect letters from him.

One month later...

“CIKA!” Shouted Anya while hugging me from behind, out of nowhere she came that clearly she was already behind me. Entering my classroom without any shame and then making a noise.

“What's the Anya?” Ask her.

“Raka shot me yesterday afternoon on the school roof.” His whisper surprised me and looked at Raka who was talking with Judah and Adam in her arms, who were far away from my seat.

“What should I do?” Ask looks confused.

I quickly dragged her out of the classroom, looking for a quiet place to talk about something personal like this.

“Or I Cika.” The whine looks confused.

“Are you sure he shot you?” I asked to confirm his words.

“You don't trust me huh?” Answer in an annoyed tone.

“It's not like that, it's just that. You've liked it secretly all this time, haven't you? then how can he like you too?” Obviously to him.

“Okay, I don't know either. Should I refuse it? or accept it?” He looks confused.

“If you love her why not just accept her? you've loved it since Junior High, haven't you? and now your love is avenged, and you deserve to be happy after a long wait.” I said with a smile trying to comfort him who looked confused by the situation he was in.

“But I don't know what he loves me for, and it's too sudden. I was very surprised..” He said while taking a deep breath.

“Does loving someone require a specific reason? do you have any reason why you could love her all this time?” I asked to make her eyes sparkle and the wind was blowing gently through our hair.

“Thanks Cika, you are indeed my best friend,” he said while hugging my body, “I will meet him during the first break.” He continued while releasing his embrace and then ran towards his class while waving his hand towards me.

“As of Anya.” My murmur that saw the aura of his happiness rubbed off on me.
