My Brother's Friend

My Brother's Friend
Am I that handsome?



In the morning, the sunlight forced into a dark and small room. The room is none other than my room, I deliberately turned off the lights last night so that I could sleep soundly and comfortably


I wriggled under the cartoon-patterned blanket while occasionally yawning and rubbing my eyes.


"Why morning, I'm still sleepy" I said as I stretched the muscles in my body that were wrapped in a thick blanket last night


Scroll objects that hang on the wall, there just showed at 06.00 and I was still lazy to get out of my old mattress even though my eyes no longer feel sleepy


The door of my room opened, and there was Bang Reza who now looked neat and fragrant. He approached me and sat on the edge of my bed smiling


"I'm awake, Bang" my voice was still hoarse as it had just woken up, Bang Reza who was about to wake me up and then undo his intentions


"Tumben woke up early" He rubbed my head gently, I opened my blanket and then sat down next to him, leaning my head on his shoulder.


"Why?" I shook my head


"I'm sorry, Brother" I looked at him with a confused day, just woke up, uh My brother who was ready to be on standby has apologized


"For?" then I lifted my head off his shoulder


"For everything. You know what you feel, Jonathan told me everything" he explained later


I grumbled in my heart, why did Brother Jo even tell me that, he should be quiet. It was all just a false answer that I made the basis of my misunderstanding of feelings. I guess only women who are chatty turns out men can also be chatty


"There's no need to apologize, it's not Bang Reza's fault. Besides I'm too weird, I shouldn't be jealous of Syafa, because all this time he's my best friend and will soon be my brother" I replied through Bang Reza's guilt


"Yes, you can understand it. Don't worry too much about things that you don't have to worry about, until whenever your affection for you will never change in the slightest!" Bang Reza stroked my head gently


I nodded and wiped away the tears that I had not seen since when I escaped from the dispute


"Wake up and take a shower, you'll be late" Bang Reza got up from her seat and walked out of my room. I got up and then went to the bathroom.


...**********...


"Later Brother will pick you up, don't go home with just anyone" I nodded as I took off the helmet I was wearing and handed it to Bang Reza


After that I immediately went in and walked to my classroom, when I got there I did not find Syafa who usually leaves in the morning, I saw the bench he used to sit on was still empty


"Who knows where Shafa is going?" ask all the students in the class


"No idea!" shouted a student who was sitting at the very back


"Not entered" said the other


"So I saw, he came with his father but then he came back home!" replied the blond, high-bodied student


"Either" he answered and sat down in his chair


I was amazed why Syafa did not also give me news about this, I immediately reached into the phone that I stored in my bag. There was no notification or anything from Syafa, I immediately put it back in my bag because a Master had just entered the classroom.


"I'll call her later, when I get home later" my inner self and then take a lesson this morning


All the lessons were over, I was now outside the school fence, waiting for Bang Reza to pick me up. I reached back to my phone and called Syafa, asking for clarity on what happened this morning.


I called him many times but there was no answer, and I repeatedly sent him messages but none of them answered. What's wrong with him, it just keeps spinning in my brain, not only that, Bang Reza was also difficult for me to contact. My messages and calls he ignored


I waited for an hour, until all the students and teachers had returned to their homes but until now Bang Reza had not appeared.


I tried to contact him, but his phone was not active, the anxiety of course I felt, coupled with the surrounding conditions that were getting quieter and more and more afternoon


Suddenly a bike stopped right in front of me, a big red bike, it seems I've seen it but where and who


The rider opened his helmet and there appeared Kak Jo who this time looked handsome, yes indeed every day he was always handsome and managed to make me fall in love, he said, although in the end this love is unrequited and I am sick alone


Her hair was neatly arranged, her face looked cleaner, and the fragrance of her perfume that out and pierced my sense of smell


He smiled at me who was still gawking at me because he was fascinated by the good looks he had, he got off his bike and approached me


"Am I that handsome, so you're like that?" He pointed to my face that was still staring at him, a few seconds passed, I was still not aware of the words he said.


"Hi!" he then flicked his finger right in front of my eyes and from there I only realized if I had just seen him. Shame began to be active, I immediately turned my face and cursed myself who had been daydreaming, admiring the creation of God who was very dear if missed


"Let's go home!" bring her later


"But I have to wait for Bang Reza, he asked me not to go home with just anyone" I said as Bang Reza's message


Jo then pulled her phone and showed me a message sent by Bang Reza, saying that Bang Reza was having business and then asked her to pick me up


"Yes" I had finished reading the message and immediately he pulled me up to the bike, but before that Brother Jo put the helmet he had brought to my head.


My heart seemed to be willing to escape, especially when his eyes looked at me intensely and occasionally revealed his sweet smile.


This feeling of love again expanded, but in the end I remembered that he only thought of me as a sister. I who was smiling now frown and feel pain again.


"I can wear it myself" I said a little taut while shaking off the hand of Kak Jo who was about to button the helmet


Brother Jo just smiled and then immediately asked me to go up. After that, he drove his bike very slowly
