Chapter 2's
- November 20, 2008
Three days had passed since I expressed my feelings for Reina, now I was in my room while thinking about what had happened because after all this was something hard to believe.
My name is Juna, maybe it's a little late to introduce myself but wouldn't it be better to be late than not at all?
3 Days ago I expressed my feelings for the girl I liked but did not end as expected because unexpectedly she did not know me or could be said to have forgotten me.
For the past three days I've been figuring out things like asking everyone I know and their responses are all the same as Reina.
My happy normal days that I always spent more with Reina suddenly swirled in a very unexpected direction. Until everyone I know in this town forgets me. (Yeah... Except my boarding mother and my family members 😅)
I also found out that the whole school uniform in my room wasn't even SMAN 8's but SMAN 13's. I didn't realize it 3 days ago because of the rush. And there is no difference too far from the white Grey uniforms between the two schools.
When I asked my parents over the phone I also found out that I was in town attending SMAN 8. And the reason is simple that because I already have a lot of close friends here, they said.
Yesterday I sneaked into SMAN 8 and I saw no sign of me being a student at the school as if there was no name on the list of students or the list of absences. the bench that should be my seat is filled by others as well.
At my boarding house there was one student of SMAN 8, he became the only close friend of mine in this boarding house that I knew.
I asked him and he forgot me. All kinds of weird and weird theories started popping up in my head during these three days regarding the cause of this.
Like "is this a prank, but where is the camera?", "Alien attacks to alter the contents of human memory?" or the "act of a stupid scientist who tried to make a test using High School students? " The more I think it seems the more I think I'm going crazy.
While sleeping on the floor I remembered the first day I met Reina. It was an unforgettable day.
- 3 years ago
- 28 August 2005-
At that time I still felt annoyed at my parents because I had to come with them to a small town like this and leave my close friends in a big city. In this city there is absolutely nothing, no landmarks, parks, or waterparks. There is only nature, rice fields, plantations and small buildings.
That afternoon I did not go home immediately after school and decided to enter the path that was close to my school. When I entered and followed deeper, I found a scene that surprised me... A very beautiful view, a very clear lake with the reflection of light from the twilight sun plastered in front of my face.
It's just so wonderful that I don't even feel like this could be real or some kind of computer or CGI effect.
There was a girl dressed in Junior High with the same clothes as me, she was Reina. I didn't know him at the time, nor did he. The girl sitting on the grass with the shoe pad facing the lake.
With the reflection of the orange light from the twilight sky, the girl turned her head towards me. The wind came at that moment flying the leaves and her hair danced along while looking at me. His gaze completely stupefied me and immediately forgot me over everything that irritated me a few minutes ago.
It was a beautiful eye, with waving hair blown by the breeze. So beautiful as an angel, I didn't know there was such a beautiful and sweet girl in this small town. I fell in love with him from the very first sight.
The existence of this lake alone has impressed me with its beauty plus an angel there is really a matchless blend for anyone who sees it.
After looking back at me he looked back at the lake without saying a word. What is he doing here alone?
I walked up to him and wished to greet him.
"Is this place not beautiful?" He said to me while still looking towards the lake
"Yes, this is really very beautiful" I said reflexively.
"I often come here when I'm feeling sad"
"Why are you sad? " quote me while sitting next to him.
"Hmm. My close friend is moving out of town"
"oh yeah..are you the transfer student?"
"why do you know?" many confused.
"Eh!? rich foreigners? bule? "
"hahaha, that's not it, I mean that I almost memorized the same faces of students in our school"
"Eh!? great dong if not wrong students in Junior High we have about 400 students."
From there we started to get to know each other, and then became very familiar.he became the closest female friend to me in this city (i hope more 😅 hiks hyks).
Before I could recall any further, I heard the sound of the door being knocked.
- At this time
- November 20, 2008
"Yes, a...!! " My heart.
I wonder who knocked on my boarding room door when everyone even forgot about me.
I opened my boarding room door.
There was a girl who I first saw standing on the far left with 2 other guys. But I don't know him, none of them.
"(Who are they?)" my question is in my heart.
Man-1: "this is his son... "
Woman: "sick, why not go to school for 3 days? "
Man-2: "when three days ago healthy actually saw a cave running around in school uniform, uh know he didn't even go to school."
As they spoke I watched their uniforms and they were 13th High School students. I also still had time to pay attention to the name of each of them from the uniform they wear and find out that their names are Linda, Rendi, and Yoga.
I quickly thought that, if everyone in SMAN 8 forgot me and didn't recognize me, wouldn't it mean that some people in High School 13 would recognize me instead?
After I remembered Rendi and Yoga were the next-door High School students who often passed me to school because they attended High School 13 which happened to pass in front of my boarding school from their home.
Without me noticing I made them babble on their own without telling them to come in. "Please enter first... " I said before I realized it turned out that 2 guys pentol matches had indeed entered first before being told, they seemed familiar with my room and so close to me.
"Okay, excuse me... " Said the girl named Linda while taking off her shoes to join nyelonong in.
"Oh my goodness, this is your room, so it's like a ship breaking like this Jun? " Said Rendi.
"Continue 3 days ago why run around wearing school clothes but the ends are not even to school? " Yoga added.
Right, apparently Yoga and Rendi are the 2 people who saw me run away in a hurry out of boarding 3 days ago. And do these people really know me? They should have paid so much attention to me yesterday... I think they're just wondering because I'm running around like a debt collector.
"Before the cave call you are far away and not horrified" said Yoga.
Yoga is a relaxed looking guy with a fairly thin and tall body, Rendi herself is shorter than yoga and more or less the same as me while Linda is a girl who has shoulder-length hair with front bangs and looks trendy.
Regarding their arrival apparently they were worried because I did not go to school for 3 days, did not send letters and did not answer any SMS from them. After I checked the drawers, it was true that there was a mountain of SMS from them with some missed calls. It's only natural that I didn't realize it, because all this time there was no one's number on my phone other than my parents. Reina doesn't have a cell phone.
I immediately apologized to them and reasoned that I wasn't feeling well yesterday and that I was going to school again tomorrow. Luckily, they looked confident and were getting ready to go home first.
"Yes, next time send a cake letter.. Can be nitip in the cave is the same rendi" said yoga while wearing shoes.
They came home after about 2 hours and my room became quiet again, even so apparently they helped clean up some of my clothes that were scattered since yesterday.
Although awkward, I pretended to be the Juna they knew and not the Juna that came from my memory. I was thinking maybe I just need to go with the flow a little bit to be able to figure out a little bit of information and truth behind my memory that is different from others...
