My Brother's Friend

You guys are still kids

"tell me what illness Reza has and how much it costs" Mr. Reza said. J relax

I let out a rough sigh, before I finally told her how Bang Reza is doing right now. I told him everything, everything the Doctor said, even how much it cost, I told him.

I did it because I didn't know who else to share with, because now that Syafa and his family can't help me like they used to, I feel so claustrophobic about this problem.

Bang Reza's life is at stake and I as a sister can't do anything about it.

"I'll pay for the operating costs!" continued Mr. J is still in a relaxed voice

"No-no, Brother Jo has helped us a lot, I don't want to trouble Brother anymore, besides I still have the savings I've collected all this time" I said while looking at Brother Jo who was now looking at me and approaching towards me

The bead of our eyes met when I said that, there was a bit of calmness in my heart when looking into Kak Jo's eyes, her shady eyes slightly dispelled the activities and anxiety that some days I felt.

For some reason I could feel it all, it happened because I did have more sense or just because right now I have a place to share my heart's restlessness.

A moment later I realized, when my heart could no longer control me. Brother Jo then turned and looked the other way, trying to get rid of the nervousness he might also feel.

"I want to return the favor to Reza, he saved me a while ago. You guys don't bother me, it's time I help you. Keep your money well, you will need it someday "he said firmly then stood up from his seat and left me alone, before I replied to what he said.

"Sister Jo, wait" I tried to call his name, but the name owner did not respond and continued to walk somewhere.

Thirty minutes passed, I was still sitting in the park, still thinking about how I could get money for Bang Reza's operating expenses.

I don't know who to ask for help, or I just take an offer from Kak Jo. But if I accept it, I don't know when I can return it and moreover I just got to know him.

I don't know how exactly Kak Jo is, yes even though Bang Reza has been working with him for a long time but I also don't want to be considered later to use their friendship for money, and not to mention if Bang Reza later knew about this, surely he would not agree and would definitely scold me.

I wanted to run as far away as possible, find an uninhabited place and shout out all my heart, so that I could feel a little relief.

"Stop, it'll only hurt yourself!" Brother Jo stood in front of me again, not since when he returned.

I stopped shuffling my hair when I heard that voice, I only smiled embarrassedly when I realized the hair on my head was already irregular.

"Sister Jo, since when is Brother here?" I try to make my hair look like a banyan tree.

Brother Jo did not answer, he just sat near me and helped me tidy up my hair. And again, my heart that was normal was suddenly irregular again when I felt the touch of Kak Jo's hand suck and fix the hair on my head.

"What is this, why is this" my mind then lowered my head, trying to hide my face which now looks red because of nervousness and also stubbornness.

"A-I can tidy it up myself," I then shuffled from my seat, a bit away from Brother Jo. He just smiled as he fixed his seat back, I looked back at his smile, and then my heart became more and more unfazed.

"Oh yeah, Brother Jo why are you back?" I have finished my hair and can control my feelings.

"Did Reza have anything to do with your friend?" Answer Brother Jo

"Friend, Shafa means that?" I looked at him and he nodded.

"Why is this a secret?" Brother Jo is aware of my behavior

"Ah, that, actually it is," I said honestly, how else, if I say for sure he will not believe, so yes, I tell you. I'm sorry Syafa, I'm sorry.

"You guys are small, but already thinking about such things, it's worth it that you're placed in that haunted class, a zero achievement but already thinking about dating!" taunted Brother Jo,

"Don't judge me and Shafa like that, we were put in that haunted class, but we're not as bad as it looks, we've never been together before!" I said softly while bowing my head,

"Can I believe your words?" look at Kak Jo who is now approaching towards me and look at me closely, even though I am bowing my head.

Nervousness is now back, those eyes and that smile are why it bothers my mind, and again why he is getting closer to me.

But suddenly, out of nowhere I heard the voice of Shafa calling my name, and we immediately distanced ourselves and then acted as if nothing had happened .

"Sorry, I-I'm bothering you!" Syafa who was running now suddenly stopped when he found me and Jo Sis sitting on the same bench with a fairly close distance.

"No-no, this is not as you see" I stood up and approached the now strange-faced Shafa.

"I go first, and you two, fix your grades, don't think about love all the time!" Brother Jo stood up and pointed towards the two of us and then stepped away leaving me and Syafa who were still staring at that place.

A second later I took Syafa to sit down and tried to find clarity on what Kak Jo was asking.

"Shyafa"

"Aulia" we said at the same time and we laughed.

"You used to be "I asked Syafa

"Whose man is he, is he your lover?" ask Syafa without further ado

"Didn't you know him,?" my answer and Syafa also looked more confused.

"Do I know him?" Shafa continued, and then I explained that he was Mr. J, the math teacher who teaches in our class and is also a friend of Bang Reza.

Syafa did not believe it at first, but after I explained everything in detail he believed. Indeed, Mr. J's current appearance is deceptive. If at school he looks authoritative with his formal clothes but when with me now he looks more contemporary with the clothes of young people today
