Melt [NOT REVISED YET]

Painting

“What room is this?” Yuda asked as he opened the door, and I was late in stopping him.

“I–itu ..” My words are starting to fall apart.

“Your painting space yes.” Yuda said with a smile and put his hand on my head.

“A–I will prepare the cake, we just stayed. Maybe it's ripe now. I'll be right back.” I said leaving him because I was nervous.

“Can I have a look at your painting Cika?” Ask Yuda to stop my steps.

“Te–of course.” I answered while rushing to the kitchen.

***

“He painted all this?” Yuda muttered as he watched all the paintings one by one, “Inikan ...” Yuda noticed a painting in the corner of the room close to the window.

“Sorry to keep you waiting .. food I keep here ya.” Cika's words startled Yuda, and walked towards a table by the door.

“Cika? this painting ...” Yuda said as he pointed at a painting in front of him, making the girl surprised.

“Ah painting it ...” Obviously Cika was cut.

“That?” Yuda's speech made the girl's heartbeat pound twice as fast now.

“A–aku painted it when I saw you playing trombone in music room, ma–forgive me for not asking permission from you. I should've asked permission first from you before painting it.” The girl said while closing her eyes.

“Beautiful once.” His words made Cika look at Yuda's face.

‘He smiled?’ Inner Cika as she looked at Yuda's expression.

“A long time ago I wanted to be painted by you, but secretly you painted my face. I'm happy ...” Yuda's words made Cika even more embarrassed and misbehaved.

then Yuda began to step towards the painting covered by white cloth, “What are all these paintings not finished?” Asking looked at Cika standing, there were at least four paintings that were deliberately covered with white cloth by the girl.

“E–eh?! it ... it su–it's finished ko. Want to see it?” Cika replied while offering it with a stammer because she was still feeling nervous.

“Bo–by?” Her question made the girl reflexively nod her head, and Judah opened all the white cloths. Cika who saw Judah's eyes sparkle could not turn away from him. And Yuda was still looking at the four paintings in front of him.

“I–ini?” Mumbled.

“Yuda, I painted Yuda when I first met him at the reception of new students in 10th grade, then Yuda who was exercising, and then Yuda who was working out, You were my 11th-grader friend and exchanged letters with me, and lastly your expression when I expressed my feelings in class ..” Obviously the girl while recalling all the good memories back then, and now the man was already her lover.

And Yuda immediately grabbed Cika's hand, making the girl look into her eyes and re-injured by it.

“Thank you for loving me ..” Yuda said with a warm smile and hugged his lover tightly.

“I love you ..” The girl's whisper made Judah tighten his embrace.

“It looks like it's late.” Yuda muttered after drinking his warm tea and placed his teacup on the table. 

“Yes you're right. You better hurry up not to miss crete ..” I said as I grabbed my painting bag to enter the painting that Yuda wanted.

“You sure you want to give it to me?” Ask.

“Yes. Think of it as your winning prize.” I answered while giving the bag to Yuda.

“Then I accept. Thank you yes Cika.” He said with a smile.

“No need to thank.” I definitely returned his smile.

We went out of the house together, and the man waved his right hand at me as he passed from before me. Then I went back into the house and locked the door.

“Thank God she likes it .. but I was really surprised she could find the room. Though I don't want him to come in, but instead I let him in.” I muttered feeling stupid as well as happy when I saw his expression today.

‘And he said it with an expression I could not refuse. Her smile, her eyes and her gesture ..’ I said in my heart.

“Tu–wait! what am I thinking?! wake up Cika!” My mind is conscious with my mind.

The holidays are over, and I'm back at school. Become the oldest upperclassman, and prepare to face various exams in 12th grade.  

“Morning Cika!” Sapa Ali surprised me a little.

“Pagi.” I answered while walking up the stairs to my class.

“I heard you were dating Yuda ya.” He said while putting on his smiling expression, cheerful as always.

“Um.” Let's just say I'm holding back the shame.

“He .. I never thought, I guess girls like you are more attracted to cheerful or stubborn men. Because your nature is so quiet. And usually cheerful girls will fall in love with cold men. But it turns out there are also like you ..” I can't understand it.

“I first.” I said when I got to the front of my class and went straight in without much ado.

‘Hee. Does this mean I leave too early?’ My inner.

“Pagiiii Cika!” Hana's shout surprised me, the girl was so excited and so cheerful than usual. Maybe his summer break has given him more energy to face school.

“For Hana.” My broom while keeping my school bag hung beside my desk.

“By the way Cika! next week there's an annual town festival. Do you want to come along? I've been looking forward to it for a year and now it's almost time.. kyaaa Fiery talks.

“You are so noisy!” Said Adam who suddenly stood beside him and hit the girl on the head with his flat expression.

“Hhaha..” My laughter broke when I saw their quarrel.

“Why don't you guys make it?” Said Raka who just entered the class together with Yuda.

“Morning Cika.” Sapa Yuda makes me reflexively smile at him.

“So we're classmates again?” I ask not to realize it.

“Didn't you see our names on the announcement board?” Answer Hannah asked back.

“Ma–forgive me, it seems like I'm thinking too seriously about something.” I definitely feel bad, though,

“What do you think?” Tanya surprised me.

“Most thought of Yuda.” Anya answered who was in our midst.

“Ngapain this guy here? class loe right next to.” Adam Said.

“Loe's eyes are shortsighted? obviously my name is listed in class 12-2, which in class 12-3 is the same Raka as the Yuda.” Anya clearly hugged me.

“He–heeee?! so Yuda is the same in the next class? 12-3?” I was surprised to hear that I didn't realize there was no name on the 12-2 class list. But Judah just smiled hearing Adam and Anya quarrel.

“Huhu.. I think I can be the same class as Raka as well, even though I do’a so that I can be in class with Cika and Raka. Turns out it was just the same Cika doang that was granted.” Oceh Anya whines in my arms.

“He? Nanami's in the next class, right ? wow really unexpected ...” Hana Mumbles.

“What cup cup I have here. After all since Junior High we are not united in one class anymore. And now we've been reunited in the same class.” Entertain me while gently stroking his head.

Soon the bell rang making everyone rush to the hall to perform the opening ceremony.

“I go first yes.” Yuda said as he patted my head slowly and immediately got a nod from me.
